The neighing of the war horse also aroused Justinian's alert. The first thing Muzphius thought was that Justinian might have betrayed him. He took two steps back warily, even though he knew that he was already a

He was useless, but he didn't intend to be captured just like that. And Justinian's heart couldn't help but become nervous at this time. The neighing of the horses was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that they could only be the Turks.

It seems that they have noticed it faster than I thought. Justinian felt a little helpless. This was still a bit beyond his original estimate. It stands to reason that anything the Turks say in the castle will delay it for a while.

That's right, but I didn't expect these nomads who came and went like the wind to react so quickly. Although they were not necessarily looking for themselves, it would definitely be very dangerous if they were discovered at this time.

But at this moment, Muzphius in front of him was very distrustful of Justinian.

Although he knew that he could not convince this man with just a few words, Justinian still lowered his voice and said: "I know that I haven't completely gained your trust yet. But at least for now, you and I are still grasshoppers on a rope. Whether it is Turks

Whether you are a human or a Latin, you will definitely die if you fall into their hands. I am the only one who can help you now. Although the reward the Latins put on you is enough to make anyone excited, it is not important to me..."

"It's not important? Why should I believe you?" Muzphius held the knife in his hand and was still alert to Justinian's every move. He raised his ears to observe the sounds around him. And Justinian was also able to do this.

Understandable, since that day when his eyes were gouged out, this man will probably never trust anyone else for the rest of his life. The only thing that can slightly convince him is to make him believe that Justinian has some convincing intention to help him, but if he will

If the matter of the Ark of the Covenant was revealed, Justinian estimated that the other party would have a higher probability of seeing him as a madman.

At this time, outside the forest, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Justinian knew that something would happen if the stalemate continued like this.

"Stay here for now, don't move, I'll go check out the situation. Even if you don't trust me, you're basically asking for death now." After saying that, Justinian pulled out the sword in his hand and climbed to the top of the tree.

As soon as he sat down on the tree trunk, a Turkic cavalryman rode slowly into the woods.

It is those Turkic warriors of the Roma Sultanate! This is a light cavalry. Unlike the previous warriors who wore heavy chain armor and a helmet with only their eyes exposed, they wore an ordinary chainmail armor, carrying a waist knife and

Bows and arrows, this also made Justinian a little more relieved that his weapons could not deal with heavy armor.

After realizing something was wrong in the castle, the Turks rushed in immediately and found no one inside. They sent out cavalry scouts to follow the traces, and the Turkic warrior discovered the fresh wheel marks of the carriage that left the castle and reached here.

He saw the blind Muzphius standing under the tree at a glance, but did not realize that Justinian was hiding in the tree and peeping at him. The dense canopy completely blocked him, making it a perfect hiding place.

Justinian, who was holding his breath, did not act rashly. If the opponent shot him with an arrow from this distance, he would definitely die.

The Turkic warrior who discovered the man was overjoyed. It was better to find at least some clues than nothing at all. He shouted in Turkic language. He was not planning to kill Muzfius but to capture him alive.

I saw the Turks approaching on horseback. Seeing that Muzfius was a blind man, they relaxed their vigilance. They took the rope around his waist and prepared to tie Muzfius up without even pulling out his knife.

At this time, Muziphius remained motionless, as if he had given up resistance.

But all this in Justinian's eyes perfectly attracted the other party's attention. He had locked the Turks on the tree, and his heart could not help but beat wildly as he clenched the sword in his hand.

Although the original physical functions were perfect, and even the fighting skills in his memory were retained, for me, this was the first time that Justinian tried to fight after he came to this world. He forced himself to calm down and must

One hit would kill him. He couldn't guarantee how powerful this Turkic warrior was, but if something went wrong and he was counterattacked, he would never have a chance.

Justinian did not take action immediately. He was waiting for the best opportunity. On the other side, the Turkic warriors still did not realize that the threat of death was approaching step by step. I saw him riding his horse in front of Muzfius, preparing to start from

The saddle was on and off, and this gave Justinian an opportunity to take advantage.

"Kill!" Justinian shouted, surprising the Turks. At the same time, he jumped down from the tree trunk with amazing force, and the long sword in his hand directly penetrated the chainmail thorns on the Turks warriors.

Entering the opponent's flank.

The Turkic warrior who wanted to dismount was no longer alert at this time, and because he was holding the horse with both hands, he was completely unable to defend himself against a counterattack. He never expected that he would be ambushed. The fatal attack made the Turkic warrior fall off his horse with a plop.

.

Falling to the ground together with the Turkic body, Justinian stood up from the ground with a grin on his face. Looking at the blood on his hands, he felt like his stomach was churning, but he knew that he would have to get used to it sooner or later. Ancient times were really

Not pretty at all.

The dying Turk's eyes were like bells as he stared at Justinian, especially the Turk boots he was wearing, which belonged to his commander. His throat was rumbling and he wanted to say something, but he could no longer catch his breath.

He couldn't die any more, and his expression of unwillingness to die made Justinian a little frightened.

After confirming that the other party was dead, Justinian calmed down and looked at Muziphius and said, "He is dead. Now do you believe that I didn't betray you?"

Muzphius also heard the movement and knew that Justinian was not lying, but he just replied lightly: "Then tell me your true identity. If you have no intention, no one will

I am willing to cooperate with you. You should know this."

Tsk, it’s really troublesome to deal with this guy. I can only try to see if I can get through it! Justinian gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Every minute is important now. The Turks may discover them at any time. He

Muzphius must be allowed to put aside his worries for the time being.

"Genoese," Justinian replied calmly.

"Genoese?" Muzphius was slightly surprised and a little surprised by Justinian's answer. But he was not particularly surprised, because the competition between Genoa and Venice in maritime trade was well known, and Emperor Manuel also tried to contain Venice.

Granted commercial privileges to Genoa.

Without waiting for Muzphius to react, Justinian immediately continued: "I confess, I am just employed by the Genoese. Due to the fall of Constantinople, the Venetians have now controlled the entire Lebanon."

Of course, the Genoese are wary of Fante's trade. So a few months ago, my hiring organization accepted their order and sent me to find your whereabouts. However, not long ago, they believed that you, who are blind, have no value.

The government has terminated the transaction with my organization. So now I haven't got a single copper plate. I can only try my luck to rescue you and exchange for some money. Of course, if I change to an official position, I can end my current wandering life.

Good." His answer was of course false, but of course Genoa's dissatisfaction with Venice was real. Justinian's fabrication of such words made Muzphius feel real, because such an ordinary thing
