Two soldiers stood bored at the door with long guns.
The one on the left yawned from time to time, and the soldier on the right asked: "Hey, what did you do last night?
Why do you always doze off today?"
The soldier on the left smiled awkwardly: "Didn't the general go to the manor in the suburbs yesterday?
I always felt that there was nothing to do, so I went to the pub at night, you know, hehe?"
The soldier on the right said: "How about you go find a woman?
Do you have any good ones?"
"Of course, the war between Western Qin and the Arabs is about to end.
There are not a large number of slaves here, especially many good-looking female slaves."
The soldier on the left got excited when talking about women and kept talking.
As the soldier on the right listened, he inadvertently looked towards the street.
Several familiar carriages came into view.
He immediately said: "The general is back, stand still quickly."
The soldier on the left immediately shut up and stood up straight.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Irina and licked his lips at Alexius, whose eyes were covered with gauze.
Irina nodded and said to Alexius: "General, do you know where you are?
This is already the door of your home.
There is no personal enmity between you and me.
We just have different political opinions.
To be honest, I have no intention of hurting you. , but sometimes some things are beyond our control.
What kind of fighting power do people who have seen me have?
With the fighting power of the soldiers in your home, they are no match for me.
If you don’t want your home to become a river of blood, I advise you not to play tricks.
If you ignore my warning, , I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything wrong with my people.”
Although Alexius is blind, his heart is not blind.
He knows that his current situation is very dangerous, very dangerous.
He can survive until now because Irina has been trying to make him surrender and loyal. , he has always been firmly opposed to Irina politically, how could he surrender?
Alexius said in a deep voice: "Irina, what do you want to do?
As a queen mother, don't you feel ashamed to do this?"
Irina said: "The struggle for power has always been dirty, dark and bloody.
As long as the goal can be achieved, I will not care about using any means.
Your youngest son is dead, and you still have a son."
At this time, there was a shout from outside: "Why do you think the general is injured?
Why don't you tell the madam and the young master?"
"Ah, the general is injured, oh oh, I'll go right away."
There was a sound of footsteps and a cry came: "Madam, Master, it's not good, the general is injured.
The general is injured."
In the carriage, Irina said to Alexius: "General, please" "Irina, restrain your people and don't let them run wild."
Alexius stood up.
"It depends on your attitude" The three of them got off the carriage one by one.
Zhao Ziliang looked up and said with a smile: "General, your mansion is not bad.
It's quite impressive.
When they come out, they should be your wife and son."
A noble lady walked out of the mansion quickly with the support of a young man.

When the noble lady saw Alexius, she exclaimed: "Alexius, what's wrong with you?
Why are your eyes covered?"
Wearing gauze" The young man supporting the lady also asked: "Yes, father, what happened?"
The muscles on Alexius's face kept shaking, and he said: "Last night, assassins rushed into the manor.
Many people died.
My eyes were also injured.
It is God's blessing that I survived."
"Ah, these evil assassins are so brave.
They dare to rush into our manor and assassinate me.
I know it.
This must have been sent by that little bitch Irina.
It's definitely him." screamed like a scream.
The young man said: "Mom, this is impossible.
I heard that the Queen Mother Irina fled into the Western Qin envoy's residence to seek asylum.
How could she have done this?
No one will believe it if I tell you."
The noble lady lectured: "Son, you are too naive.
Do you really think that little bitch Irina can only have such a small power to control her power?
Let me tell you."
Alexius obviously felt that Irina's breathing was much heavier behind him.
He even felt the murderous intention coming from Irina.
He immediately yelled at his wife and children: "Okay, stop guessing here, My eyes are blind, and you are still here muttering, even if I die, you will not care at all."
The noble lady was embarrassed by the scolding and said quickly: "Stop talking, stop talking, son, help your father in quickly."
"Oh oh oh" the young man quickly stepped forward to help Alexius.
Zhao Ziliang shouted at the guards nearby.
The mother and son were quickly pulled aside by the guards.
The lady was shocked.
Just as she was about to scream loudly, she saw a familiar face appearing next to Alexius.
"you" The lady's scream was interrupted, and Irina, who was wearing a soldier's armor, raised her index finger to her mouth: "Shh" In the lady's frightened look, Irina walked up to the young man and stretched out her slender fingers to gently slide over his face.
She smiled very enchantingly and said: "What a handsome young man, thank you for helping me just now."
Talk, oh, you must have guessed who I am, but please don't say it, because Because this will be bad for you.
As we all know, your father has always been against me, and I am very dissatisfied with him, so you must not make me unhappy.
If I am unhappy, your father will be unlucky.
You see, there are people around here.
My people, they are people who kill without blinking an eye, do you understand?"
There was no panic or fear on the young man's face, but there was a hint of excitement.
After hearing Irina's words, he nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Ahem, let's go, let's talk after we go in."
Alexius stopped Irina from continuing to tease his son.
He immediately walked towards the door, and a guard came forward to help him.
The housekeeper ran over and said, "Sir, what are these when you are back?"
Alexius said: "Butler, these are the mercenaries newly recruited by this general.
They will be responsible for the security of our home during this period.
You also know that this general has not been in a good situation recently, so it is necessary to recruit more people.
It's necessary.

If it weren't for these people, I would have been killed by an assassin in the manor in the suburbs last night.
You can arrange food and accommodation for them.
They will live at home recently."
The butler saw that they were all oriental people, but since the master had given the order, he had to carry it out, so he agreed: "Yes, sir."
After approaching the door, what came into view was a hall.
Irina saw that the three members of Alexius' family were under the control of the guards.
She turned to Zhao Ziliang and said, "Let's do it."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Why are you in a hurry?
If someone comes while you are doing it, it will be too late to clean up, and everything will be exposed, and your purpose will not be achieved.
The best time to take action is tonight, you prepare a letter immediately, I sent someone to send your cronies there.
I have already given instructions to replace the sentry at the gate on the pretext of strengthening security and guarding against assassins.
From now on, no one inside is allowed to go out.
If you want to go out, you must report to Liang Zhenwu."
Irina thought for a while and felt that what Zhao Ziliang said was reasonable.
It was indeed inappropriate to take action now.
She agreed: "Okay, I will listen to you."
After entering the house, Alexius was under pressure and ordered to replace the sentry at the gate on the pretext of strengthening security and guarding against assassins.
The new sentry was manned by newly recruited Eastern mercenaries.
No one was allowed to go out at will.
If anything happened To go out, you must obtain a report from the mercenary captain.
Arriving in a quiet room, Irina looked around and said to the three members of Alexius' family: "Very good, you performed well just now.
I hope you will continue to come here in the future.
I will send my wife and this handsome boy to you first."
The young man is resting.
In addition, let someone prepare some food and send it over."
"Father" "master" The mother and son began to panic, and Alexius quickly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay.
You just need to do what they ask and cooperate with them, and they won't hurt you.
Go ahead, go ahead."
After the mother and son were taken away, Alexius said in an anxious tone: "Irina, are you satisfied now?
What do you want to do?
Don't you know that I no longer have military power?
Even if you control my family , I can’t do anything for you.”
Irina shook her head and smiled: "General Alexius, of course I know that the Guards are now controlled by Constantine.
You, the commander, have been emptied out, and the City Guards have also taken control of you by changing generals.
In the hands of Constantine, as long as the four legions outside the city still do not participate in the struggle for power, Constantine is already in control.
However, although you no longer have military power in Constantinople, You still have a lot of influence in Asia Minor.
You still have many old troops there.
Your prestige in the army is still very high, and you have always been the main figure in attacking my faction.
I think the emperor still needs you.
He doesn't Hui Ran will leave you idle at home.
I hope you will stay with the emperor to be my eyes and provide me with news in time.
I need to know Constantine's every move."
When Alexius heard this, he shouted: "Impossible!"
Irina approached and said, "Is it impossible?
If you think about your wife and children more, you wouldn't say that.

What do you think?"
When he thought of his wife and children, Alexios immediately turned into an eggplant beaten by frost.
He sighed: "I haven't been to the palace for several days, and His Majesty the Emperor has not sent anyone to find me." , I think he doesn’t need me anymore, I’m afraid you won’t be able to achieve your purpose of using me as a traitor.”
Irina said: "General, you can't be so negative.
Constantine didn't send someone to find you.
Wouldn't you go find him?
Is your wife and children really not important to you?
I think you should think more about it."
If you think about them, you can do anything
