"You lied to me...?"

What is going on? Justinian's whole body was cold, and he didn't know what happened for a while...

The inexplicable words that the Turkic warriors said to him before, as well as the current situation, the amount of information was a bit large for Justinian. And he was trying hard to get some information from his original body.

The furious Turkic warriors threw Justinian aside and roared: "Alexei, if you dare to touch us, the Sultan will let you die without a burial place! Don't forget that the army outside the castle is not your subordinates."

The mob can resist." He understood that they were in a desperate situation at this time, but they were still fierce. Because there were hundreds of Turkic warriors outside, the Turks led by them hoped that Alexei III could surrender.

However, Justinian on the side knew that it was in vain, and said coldly: "Since he has done this, it means that he has a way to escape unscathed. Am I right, Your Majesty Alexei?" At this moment

, he also lost his disguise, and looked at these Turks who fell into a trap because of greed without any concealment of ridicule.

"How dare you speak to me like that, you damn slave!" The furious Turkic warrior pulled out his sword, and veins popped out on his forehead. Unfortunately, his hand was trembling slightly and was exposed to Justinian's sight.

"He is right. It will be easy for me to crush you to death. Wait until people outside notice that you are already cold." The old man outside the door chuckled in a sinister tone. Alexei III still stood there and seemed to be in no hurry.

Have to leave.

Hearing such an answer, the Turkic people also turned pale.

Justinian smiled contemptuously. The memory of his broken body healed little by little at that moment. He finally remembered that he was not only a servant of Alexius III, but also a spy placed here by the Turks to monitor Alex.

The every move of King Cyril III led to the situation that made him at a loss just now. The original owner of Justinian seemed to have a high status, so these Turks were somewhat afraid.

However, if he couldn't escape from here, everything would have nothing to do with him. Justinian's brain was thinking rapidly, trying to find a chance of survival.

"Are you leaving here for Thessaly and finally fleeing to Epirus, Your Majesty?" Justinian, who took a deep breath and decided to take a gamble, shouted to the door.

"..."

There was a moment of silence. Not only Alex III, but also the Turkic warriors looked at this young man strangely. He seemed to have changed from just now. But saying these words to Alex III was really confusing.

Fog.

"How did you know? I remember that I didn't disclose this to anyone." Alexius III did not deny it but asked gloomily. He did not expect that it was him who Justinian said.

It was what he had planned not long ago, but obviously only he knew about it.

At this time, Justinian was equally uneasy. He could only use this method to delay time and look for opportunities.

Just listen to Justinian saying loudly: "If what I say is true, I still suggest that you give up your plan and go to Thessaly. It is very likely that you will end up in the hands of the Latins. Your son-in-law Theodore

It may be safer to go to the current emperor. At least the help of the Turks is necessary, and it will be easier for you to go to Nicaea. I hope you can let us out as if it never happened, and treat it as a misunderstanding."

"Theodore, that usurper?! Do you know how ridiculous what you said is? Do you think you can scare me? Although you guessed it right just now, none of you will escape from here today." Ali

The words of King Kesei III were full of anger. The old man believed no one. Whether it was Muziphius or his son-in-law Theodore's transgression, he was extremely annoyed, but Justinian actually asked him to take the initiative to defect.

, accidentally touched his reverse scale.

And his indifferent attitude also made Justinian frown and said: "Do you just want to throw yourself into a trap and destroy yourself like this? Even if you are lucky enough to get to Epirus, I'm afraid Count Mikhail

You may not be welcome. As a monarch, if you flee without a fight, you will be a hot potato wherever you go. It is a wise move to cooperate with the Roma Sultanate to regain the throne."

Now Justinian can only use his eloquence to convince the other party step by step. What he said is not groundless. According to history, Alexios III, who was captured, was indeed redeemed by Epirus and sent to Nicaea. It’s just that Alex

Kesai III was so suspicious, and Justinian was not sure of convincing him. Moreover, the cost was huge. If he drastically changed history, his only golden finger would be greatly reduced, but survival is the most important thing now.

Can't control much.

His words seemed to have an effect. After a long silence, Alexei III outside the door finally said: "I can consider what you said."

As soon as this statement came out, not only was Justinian surprised, he thought he would have to pay a higher price to convince the other party. Even the Turkic warriors were ecstatic. They were extremely nervous just now, and they were afraid that the other party would just leave.

They starve to death here.

But Alexius III hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued: "But I have something to say to you alone, Justinian, and ask the rest of the people to step back. Otherwise, there will be no need to talk."

The conditions proposed by Alex made everyone a little stunned. Not only the Turks who looked at each other, but even Justinian couldn't guess what the old fox was thinking.

But since the other party insisted on such a request, everyone in the secret room had no choice but to do this. Anyway, they couldn't make any waves, so they could only hope that Justinian could successfully negotiate with Alexius III.

The Turks retreated to the innermost part of the secret room, while Justinian clung to the iron door.

"As you said, Your Majesty, can we continue the negotiation?"

"Are you sure they have retreated to the back?" Alexius III asked in a low voice, "If not, you will be responsible for the consequences." Then the old man's voice deepened, which made Justinian confused.

What kind of medicine does the sinister guy sell in the gourd?

He nodded and replied in a voice that could only be heard by Alexei III: "Yes, I'm sure, then can we negotiate?"

Behind Justinian, a group of Turkic warriors were waiting impatiently.

"Can you really trust that kid? He must not be colluding with that old guy."

"If the damn old guy gets out, I will cut him into pieces."

They gritted their teeth and whispered, but they could only wait. Instead, Justinian, the slave, became their hope.

Alexei III, who received Justinian's reply on the other side, did not respond immediately. Justinian could only vaguely hear the rough breathing of the old man opposite.

Suddenly, Alexei's old and delicate voice sounded again. "Next, prick up your ears. If you still want to survive, just listen to my instructions calmly. I'll count to three-"

"one!"

"two!"

Justinian was completely overwhelmed by the sudden change, but there was no time to hesitate.

"Get down!" Alexei III roared violently, this time the voice was loud enough that everyone in the secret room could hear it clearly.

The Turkic warriors stood there completely blinded by the sudden roar, but Justinian immediately felt a huge sense of threat. Almost at the same moment, Justinian reacted and lay down tightly.

Sticking to the ground.

The next second, the sound of the machine opening and closing came to Justinian's ears, which made Justinian's hair stand on end.

"咻咻咻咻咻..."

"What..." The Turkic man was caught off guard and his exclamation was interrupted as soon as it came out of his mouth.

A storm of arrows flew from the walls on both sides of the secret room. The unsuspecting Turks had no time to react and opened their eyes wide to welcome the hail of arrows. Screams and the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh were heard one after another. That was Justin.

The most terrifying scene that Ni had ever seen in his life was also the most terrifying sound that he had ever heard. He lay on the ground and closed his eyes tightly, covering his ears, not daring to move. Once again, he underestimated the horror of the old man.

He almost might die here. Thinking of this, Justinian's spine felt cold.

I don't know how long it took, but from time to time crossbow arrows bounced off and landed next to Justinian. The rain of arrows gradually stopped, and not only the screams, but also the Turks' breathing stopped.
