"I understand your thoughts, dear Zalueus. But you are wrong, or answering the question irresponsible. That is, our top priority has never been those foreign races. Since this disaster occurred, our Rome has never been destroyed by those foreign enemies, but the so-called compatriots behind us. Even now, the Latins occupy our glory city of Constantinople, the nobles in the north are still fighting in internal strife. The real top priority now is to end this farce." Justinian suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped, looking at the north, and his eyes had crossed the wall of Corinth, crossed the Agrenion opposite the strait, and even crossed Rusnina of Epirus.

Looking at Justinian's expression, Salius was stunned and then reacted.

"His Royal Highness Justinian, is your intention..."

"You guessed it right. I went north to participate in the civil war in Epirus. This is my purpose and the real urgent matter now." A strange cold light glance passed through Justinian's blue eyes, and Salius also captured the faint ambition in this cold light. He immediately understood that this was Justinian's real purpose. It seems that the old Duke of Anastasius really did not choose the wrong person-Justice's energy contained far greater than he thought.

, enough to shake the current Roman Empire. It is absolutely honorable for Salius to be able to follow such a lord. Although the man of his age was just an unknown civilian before, since Grand Duke Anastasius had chosen him as his heir, no matter whether other forces recognize him or not, as long as Justinian has the weight and sharp sword in his hands, he can challenge anyone on the throne - the eternal truth of the Roman Empire for thousands of years.

“So you keep the Pizza Man because?”

"Of course it's because of their warships. Although Theodor Ducas sent Hendriel openly to express his willingness to cooperate with us, I can be sure that he just wanted to use me and could not trust it at all." On the same day, Hendriel even hinted that Prince Theodor was willing to promote an alliance between the two parties through marriage conditions, but it was precisely this that Justinian was convinced that the other party could not trust. From the first meeting with that man, Justinian was convinced that the other party was proud of his noble identity and never regarded him as a chess.

The same is true until now, but Justinian is now a more useful pawn. Because of this, Theodor would never be willing to marry his daughter to himself. It was just to make such ambiguous words to mercy Justinian for his use. But one thing Justinian really wanted to do was to interfere with this civil war in Ducas, but he was not to help Theodor or Mikhail, but to himself. It was time to fulfill his promise between him and Muzfius.

"But will these Pizza people really submit?" Salius couldn't help but wonder. In his opinion, these Italians were all birds of a feather. It was not that easy to use them, and the Pizza people were afraid that they would not be willing to offend other forces for them.

"Of course, because they are stupid and greedy enough to think they can get chestnuts from the fire, but in the end they will only burn their claws." Justinian affirmed indifferently, and he confirmed this when he used Thessalonika as a bargaining chip.

Thessalonika, a strong city on the Macedonian plain, would be his sword pointing, and of course Justinian would not give it to others easily. But the only obstacle to his army was the waves of the Aegean Sea. Even on the scattered islands, the lurking pirates were fatal threats to Justinian, so he had to have his own navy. So he liked the Pisa people because their warships were strong enough, and at the same time because those Pisa people were stupid enough. Pierre actually wanted to exchange the city of Athens for the Fortress of Modon and the entire Moglia's monopoly rights. At the same time, the Piraeus Port in Athens also had to rent them. I don't know if he overestimated himself or completely underestimated the fact that Moglia's little fox was a beast.

Seeing Justinian's confident appearance, Salius was stunned. Although he was full of suspicion, he looked at the Lord in front of him who seemed to have a solution, and in the end he still put himself in the end.

...

At the same time, outside the side wall of Corinth, in the city of Athens, Baron Pierre, the leader of the Pisa people, had also learned that Justinian was about to arrive. It was just that Justinian chose to spend so long on land instead of coming by boat, which really surprised Pierre.

But no matter what, his purpose has been achieved now. Such joy completely dispelled his inner concerns. All he needed now was waiting. He did not need to deal with any other unnecessary things. As a businessman, nothing more pleasant than waiting for a price.

At this moment, Pierre was already imagining the beautiful prospect of establishing a trade base in the entire Molia, not the entire Aegean coast. By then, Pierre was sure that his status in his mother state would be greatly improved. At that time, he might be able to master a city-state of his own and become a real noble. This was undoubtedly Pierre's greatest wish as a merchant. In the past, whenever he saw the Venetian merchants entering and leaving the Adriatic Sea, the Pisa man was filled with envy and unwillingness. Now, he had reached a step within his reach to achieve his wish.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Pierre and interrupted his imagination.

"Is there any news about Justinian?" The cold and arrogant voice made people feel uncomfortable. A young man walked behind Pierre, and when he mentioned Justinian's name, he exuded an impatient murderous intent.

Baron Pierre spread his hands and smiled and said, "I have said it a long time ago, there is no need to be so anxious. As a result, you really lost your money, right? Isn't it, Your Highness Romanus!"

At this moment, the person standing in front of Pierre was Romanus Ducas, the eldest son of Prince Agrenion. But when he appeared, the Pisa merchant did not care about him. Instead, he chuckled and mocked him for leaving and returning without success.

Romanus was too lazy to talk and asked impatiently: "I'm asking you now if there is any news about Justinian. If you don't want to answer, then our deal can be cancelled!"

Romanus looked at the other party coldly and then turned away. At this moment, Baron Pierre in front of him said slowly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you are just for Justinian's whereabouts, and he did not go by sea at all, but came here directly through Corinth by land. According to time, it is almost time to reach Pyrahora between Corinth and Athens. If you want to take this opportunity to kill him now, it should be too late. As long as you can do the conditions we discussed before, I will never interfere with it."
