One Hundred Routes of Counterattack

Han Xiu and Sextus are not people who are keen on partying. Even in Rome, they just regularly attend salons run by a few important people. Among the nobles, of course they are even more lazy to participate in the salon.

It's better to stay in the palace than to flirt with a large number of people you don't know.Even if the war came to an end, Sykes was not satisfied, his ambition was enough to go farther with the full support of Han Xiu.And Han Xiu, as the regent, of course also needs to supervise a series of matters concerning the inclusion of the Bauhinia Dynasty into the territory of Rome.

Although the Bauhinia people are more used to closing deals in the salon, but now they are the conquerors, of course they have to go along with them.

But there are always some banquets that cannot be turned down.

For example, this one, the funeral of the eldest prince of the former Bauhinia Dynasty and the dinner after the funeral.

It seemed that because the eldest prince had been lingering and sick for many years, no one felt very sorry for his passing away.Even the original queen, who was his mother, reacted flatly.

The climax of the audience was probably when Sykes and Han Xiu, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came together.

After all, these two top-notch high-ranking, rich and handsome people spend all day in the palace, but they make a lot of noble ladies and young women look forward to it.Even the husbands of some young women regret this.

——It seems that there is such a strange tradition here. If one's wife becomes the mistress of a person in power, how much can one gain some benefits from the other party's apology and his wife's pillow wind?

As the center of the audience's attention, Han Xiu and Sykes could maintain proper etiquette even though they were bored in their hearts.Fortunately, this was a regrettable funeral after all, and they didn't have to face everyone's bright and flattering smiles.

But even so, facing a large group of middle-aged nobles who look exactly the same and ladies in various colorful clothes still makes them feel more tired than fighting a battle/handling political affairs for a day.

Taking advantage of Sykes being crowded in the middle, Han Xiu secretly hid in the dark shadows, and slipped into a rest area behind a curtain nearby.

... Well, Han Xiu regretted it the moment he entered.

There were two beautiful women sitting inside, both wearing black dresses that looked low-key and simple but were actually luxurious and exquisite. The older woman was crying with her head bowed, and she was a little panicked and shy when she saw him coming.And the young one seemed to be comforting her, even though he sensed his arrival, he just glanced at him plainly, and lowered his head quietly.

Unfortunately, the two Han Xius knew each other.The former is the widow of the main character of the funeral, the eldest princess, while the latter is a woman whose body is very familiar——Angelia.

Of course, it stands to reason that Han Xiu doesn't know who Angelia is.

Seeing him, the eldest prince concubine invited him, her voice was still sobbing, she really felt sad for her late husband's misfortune: "Please sit down, Your Excellency, this is the rest area."

In this way, of course Han Xiu could no longer withdraw, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

He shouldn't have left Sykes there, and now he didn't know what happened to Sykes, and he had to face these two women who were obviously acting.

The eldest princess was very satisfied after seeing him sit down, and then she began to cry with excellent singing and singing, and took the hand of the "good sister": "Anji, you must know that although the eldest prince and I have only been married for a short time , but he is my husband after all. Now that he is dead, I am really helpless and a widow..."

Angelia comforted in a soft voice: "Why do you have to belittle yourself like this, at least the little prince will take care of you, and you also have a child. Unlike me, I am already a widow, all alone."

When they said this, they didn't seem to care about Duke Tulip at the side, but just two poor women telling their misfortunes and comforting each other.However, Han Xiu can easily find that both of them try their best to show their femininity in elegant and charming postures—even though this posture is very difficult compared to their wide skirts and sitting postures.

A little speechless, of course, Han Xiu didn't bother to expose them.He just hopes that something will happen as soon as possible so that he can get away.

But Sykes seemed to be entangled, and he couldn't hear or feel his breath for a long time.Han Xiu could only maintain the etiquette, holding the wine glass, eyes empty, actually turned on the system and began to read the book.

Well, this is a good pastime that can pass the time anytime, anywhere without being rude.

Suddenly the two got up and said apologetically, "My lord, let's leave for a while."

"Of course, please do." No one disturbed him and he could look at it more casually.

The two left hand in hand with an extremely elegant gesture.After a while, the curtain suddenly opened.

No, not Sykes, but Angelia.

Angelia was in a hurry. She bent down and searched for a moment on the sofa, and then found an earring with a joyful smile on her face.The next moment, she seemed to have tripped over something, exclaimed, and fell straight in Han Xiu's direction.

Poor Han Xiu was just seeing Xing's head, and he didn't pay attention to her graceful falling movement with perfect acting skills, and was thrown into his arms by the warm and fragrant nephrite.

——Cough, how many spices are sprinkled on this woman, this smell, my God...

Well, no matter how long it took, he couldn't get used to the love of perfumes, essences, spices here.Fortunately, Sikes never cared about such things.

Han Xiu thought wildly to relieve the impact of being oppressed for no reason.But this woman pressed very skillfully, his limbs and waist were unable to push him away.

——It can also be understood that she is too heavy

What's even more bloody is that at this moment, Sykes called "Nig" and opened the curtain, complaining, "Why did you leave me there alone..."

"..."

Angelia seemed to have just realized it, and got up in a hurry. Of course, the process of being in a hurry was very long. A pair of small hands fanned Han Xiu's body everywhere.

Then she stood up, her face seemed to be blushing, and she lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke." Then she ran away quickly.

If Sykes is really Han Xiu's close friend at this time, he will probably whistle and say: "Hey, you are very lucky~" Maybe he will also develop some interest in this extraordinarily shy woman.

Unfortunately, Sykes and Han Xiu have already made up a pair.Then the picture in Angelia's imagination is completely impossible to happen.

In fact, although Sykes could see the shock, speechlessness, bewilderment, bewilderment and other emotions on Han Xiu's face at that time, this did not prevent him from pretending to be angry and come to the show.

So I saw him with a serious expression and a heavy atmosphere, sitting next to Han Xiu, undoubtedly pushing Han Xiu down to the upper body and laying on the sofa, confining him in a space with his own arms, his deep eyes seemed to be full of excitement. Heartbreaking melancholy.

"Um... Sykes..." Han Xiu spoke slowly at this time, with a serious tone, "That woman just now hurt me so much!"

"……puff."

The two couldn't help laughing, and Sykes pressed his whole body directly on Han Xiu, his voice was low and full of masculine temptation, "Am I heavier than her, do you feel pain?"

Han Xiu shrank his neck sensitively, the soft flesh on his neck was itchy from his caress, and said with a smile: "It's not a matter of weight, look at her skirt, there are a lot of beads on it, it's made of broken diamonds." , panicked."

"You don't know how to enjoy this kind of beauty, so it's hard for other ladies to take the initiative to throw themselves into your arms."

"Hmph, who am I doing this for? Besides, this kind of beauty, if you can avoid it, it smells like spices in my nose. Who knows how much powder she put on her face."

"Really? Let me ask, hey, it seems that you really have a scent on your body? Could it be that you just got it on~"

"..."

The way to deal with Angelia is surprisingly simple.Because she inherited her deceased husband's estate, she has now become the only nobleman of the Amelia family.But first of all, she is not good at managing herself, basically she only goes out but not in.Even so, at any rate, they can maintain a rather superior life.But she has a large group of relatives who suddenly fell into poverty, and she has to support them to survive.At the same time, because there was no one in her husband's family, her mother's family was poor, and she didn't have a reliable lover to help her, her property shrank rapidly in a few years, and her assistants and other families combined to divide up most of it. It's not as popular as it used to be.

Han Xiu doesn't need to pay attention to him at all, even Sykes just regards her as a woman who wants to fly on a branch to become a phoenix, and doesn't like him like the original plot.

This kind of ignorance is not soft-hearted, but to Han Xiu, Angelia is just a little clever dodder flower. In this era when women work hard to get the right to inherit, she obviously has a stronger personality than Shen Bingyan or Su Qinnv. She wants a free environment, but she chooses a path that makes Han Xiu even more shameless.

Han Xiu will not stop him, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.He didn't shoot her just because he was lazy.

——Angelia is not even qualified enough to let him do it.Without the blessing of the Amelia family, without Han Xiu doing anything, she can learn a lesson by herself.

After the Romans conquered this land, the rights and interests of nobles were greatly reduced in the decrees issued, but this was a blessing for Angelia.Part of the prohibition on buying and selling of land allowed her to retain part of the property after all, allowing her to maintain a relatively comfortable life.

This kind of life is of course far inferior to the original plot, but she doesn't have the original plot to compare it with. Compared with the previous life in her memory, it is also a good result.In the end, the widowed woman moved away from the central city of the Bauhinia region, and spent her old age in the fief castle.

She had no husband and no children. After her death, the duke title and territory were nationalized by the government and distributed to farmers.

With the disappearance of the Bauhinia Dynasty, Sextus I started a new journey.After several years of hard work, Han Xiu finally established a civil service system that can operate stably without politicians, allowing Rome to develop and operate in an orderly manner, and he is completely liberated, taking the false title of Tulip Duke to follow Sykes Conquer everywhere.

From the beginning to the end, all he cared about was Sykes alone.

As he had answered before when Sykes asked him "Is it more important than me or work" when he was busy.

"Because this is your country, I value her."

Nicholas Eugene, the man who was referred to as a tulip by later generations, and the great Roman Emperor Sextus I, both called "the two most shining gems of the Roman Empire", they spent a short time It is rare that this country has been pushed to the pinnacle in terms of martial arts and martial arts. It is because of the establishment of a system with strong restorative power. After they left, the kingdom continued to develop in a stable and orderly manner, becoming stronger and stronger.

"...Of course, whether the relationship between the Duke of Tulip and Sextus I is a close friend or a closer relationship has been discussed by many people in the past. What we know is that neither of them made it public. This is a sculpture of the two of them, and this is a portrait that Duke Tulip personally painted for the two after resigning from the post of Regent. We can find that this talented figure is also very good at painting. His paintings are due to the They are full of flesh and blood and rich in emotions, and they were highly praised during the Renaissance. And after comparing the sculptures, it can be judged that the portraits of the two are basically realistic. Even according to the current aesthetics, these two are amazingly beautiful men... In the history class thousands of years later, the middle-aged history teacher pushed his glasses and teased, "Every time I talk about this part, the students who were asleep will wake up."

"Ha ha……"

Amidst the roar of laughter, someone took a photo and pou'd it on the scarf, sighing: "All good men are with good men!"
