king of ros

Chapter 540
For the first time, Yuri Rurikeevich left Rose.

He still remembers that when he left, his father was as serious as ever, and his mother's unconcealed sadness and worry, his grandfather encouraged him to leave as always, while his grandmother was a little unhappy and seemed a little angry.

His younger brother Mikhail wanted to go with him, but it was a pity that he was not old enough to travel, so he could only watch his brother leave.

As for himself, Yuri himself is very curious about the world outside of Ross. He has visited many places in Ross with his father, and he is very familiar with this land.

Especially for the destination that he will go to this time, Constantinople, Queen of the Cities, according to the arrangement of his father—in fact, his grandfather, he knows this very well—he will be in Constantinople in that city. Studying at the University of Dimbaugh for a year, but also had to meet his fiancée, Anna Komnenos.

Yuri is very interested in the former. As Rostislav’s grandson, he naturally inherited part of Rostislav’s love for reading and learning. He doesn’t care too much about the latter, but it’s just a political marriage. According to the baton of the elders Just walk on.

Leaving Ross with Yuri was his uncle, Prince Volorida of Novgorod, accompanied by [-] troops, including many pilgrims. This team was supposed to join the Crusaders , but Yuri knew that it was not for that at all. His father and grandfather seemed to have made some strategic plans for the Near East—this was what he knew when he eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, but it was a pity that he heard so much.

Leaving Kyiv for the first time made Yuri excited, and getting along with Volorida made him even more happy. The prince of Novgorod has always been the children's favorite elder, because he always pampers the children to have fun, This time was no exception, Yuri was finally able to escape the heavy daily reading for a while.

Yuri once asked Uncle Volorida why he wanted to join the Crusades, and he knew very well that it was not just a grand duke who ordered the prince to go to the south.

And Volorida's answer is very simple, "I want to participate in that expedition that will definitely leave a strong mark in history, to see the scene of the south well. Alas, now I regret why I left Jun so early. Constantinople, obviously staying there will experience a lot of battles in the future."

Yuri knew what Uncle Volorida was regretting. Uncle Volorida used to be the commander of the Varangian Guard. Back then, he felt that he could not experience any wars in the Eastern Empire, so he left here. As a result, there was only one Denmark in the north. Outside of the war, Novgorod was administered most of the time.

In contrast, Vasiliko fought one after another in the Eastern Empire. It has to be said that God's will is always unpredictable. Those who like war go to govern, and those who like to read go to war.

Volorida's desire to go to the south to "make another glory" has always been strong, especially after talking about the war in the south with some retired Varangian members, but the responsibility has always been there, and he can't help it , and he couldn't leave the Novgorod job like he left the Varangian Guard.

In Novgorod, Volorida was in charge of Rus's affairs in the entire northern world, including the management of the Free Trade Union.

In fact, to be honest, Volorida also likes to have constant verbal confrontations with different nationalities and different forces. Diplomacy is also a fashionable and important game, but it cannot be compared with galloping on the battlefield after all. Can't let him take it easy - although the three children are one legitimate child and two illegitimate children.

The Russian team went to Constantinople with ease, and their journey along the way was very smooth. This is already a route that Ross businessmen have traveled countless times.

When he arrived in Constantinople, Yuri was amazed at the size of the city, while Volorida's attitude was - "I'm back again."

The officials in Constantinople received these guests from Ross cautiously and solemnly. Ross is an important ally of the empire, and now there are two Ruriks standing here.

Many people came to welcome Volorida. Many of them were friends of this uncle. Uncle Volorida has always been very good at making friends. Saw his friend's.

Volorida also brought a letter from his grandfather to Alexios, but unfortunately, the emperor was still fighting against Monomakh in the east. This letter could only be forwarded by the Greeks. Therefore, the audience that should have been And thus shelved.

Since they couldn't see the emperor, the two went to visit Uncle Vasilko's wife. Since Vasilko had been working in the Eastern Empire for a long time, his wife also moved to Constantinople to get along with her husband.

The relationship between this couple is very good, but their number of children is the least among the Rostislav princes. There is only one boy, who was born only three years ago, which is indeed a late birth.

But after all, there is, so Uncle Vasilko doesn't need to be urged by his grandparents every day.

After completing their visit, the two Rurikyes went on their way, Volorida with his Rus crusaders to the Holy Land, and Yuri to study at the University of Constantinople.

Yuri cherishes the opportunity to study at the University of Constantinople, especially after he has experienced the educational and academic level here. This is the highest institution in the entire Christian world. I don't know how tall Mill College is.

As for the University of Constantinople, what Yuri likes the most is the library here. In his eyes, even his father's library can't compare with this. It's not that my father's library is bad, but that compared with this one, the feeling of being an upstart is too strong.

The so-called nouveau riche’s feeling means that his father’s library is too new. Whether it’s the books or the library itself, the library in Yuri’s mind should be simple and full of precipitation. It's like exploring lost knowledge.

At the University of Constantinople, Yuri would spend at least two hours in this ancient library after finishing his daily classes, and then went to practice swordsmanship and socialize.

Yuri is not like his uncle who is fascinated by reading books. He is more of the kind of person Rostislav expects to be good at everything. This is the offspring that Rostislav most wants. So Rostislav did not give much thought to the education of his grandson.

It's just that when Yuri was studying and making friends at the University of Constantinople, getting more and more accustomed to life in the imperial capital, and thinking that this year would pass in such a dull way, a person came to the door.

That day Yuri was reading in the library again. He was looking at Cicero's works at that time, and then he heard a noise coming from the door of the library, as if someone was blocking something.

Yuri frowned, and at the same time became curious, this is the University of Constantinople, who would make trouble here?

But seeing that person, Yuri didn't wonder why there was such a big commotion.

A young girl walked in, a little short, a bit like a little girl, this girl is very beautiful, her black eyes are very charming, and there is some baby fat on her face, she looks very cute.

But this is not important, what is important is that she is wearing a gorgeous purple dress, in the imperial capital, only members of the royal family dress like this, and combined with the young girl's age, her identity is self-evident.

Anna Komnenos.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor's eldest princess, other people in the library hurriedly left after bowing. They were all smart people, and they were afraid that this might be a political struggle related to some empire, so they all left.

However, there are still those who are not afraid of death, and they are very interested in what will happen next.

Anna's beautiful eyes scanned the library, and then she saw the person she was looking for, that damn barbarian Yuri.

For a long time, Anna was very dissatisfied with her father for promising herself to a Ross barbarian, and complained to her father several times for this, so she didn't want to go to that barbaric land like the Bulgarian butcher's sister.

But the emperor's order is an order, and she can only obey, but Anna's resentment exists after all, and as time accumulates and deepens, the target of these resentments is naturally Yuri, the northern barbarian.

But after Yuri came to the imperial capital, Anna became even more angry. She originally thought that this northern barbarian would come to see his fiancée, and she had already figured out how to mock the ignorance of this damned northern barbarian.

So she waited in the palace all the time, but in the end she never got it, and after inquiring, she found out that this guy never cared about her!Actually ran to the library of the University of Constantinople to study!
In Anna's view, this is a complete contempt for herself. The Princess of the Empire has always regarded herself very highly. She has read under the guidance of her mother since she was a child. She does not want to be just a princess like a vase. The arrogance is naturally getting stronger.

So Anna, who couldn't get angry, ran to find her fiancé in a fit of anger. She was on top of herself, and no one could stop her. She had to talk to this barbarian about how he disregarded etiquette, and vent her anger well.

Anna walked in front of Yuri and stared at the visitor from the north. Subconsciously, she wanted to reprimand Yuri, but she suddenly got stuck, and her face turned red visible to the naked eye.

The reason for getting stuck is very simple, because if she really scolded Yuri here, it would be too rude. If she is just an ordinary girl, if she is not old, then it doesn't matter if she makes trouble for no reason, but she is the head of the empire. Princess, she is 14 years old this year, her menarche has already come, and she is an adult.

So Anna was stuck, standing there unable to speak, and her little face was getting redder and redder. As for Yuri, his face was inexplicable, why did his fiancée come here?

What's more inexplicable is still behind, Anna stood here for a while and couldn't hold back her words, then suddenly turned around and left, leaving as if fleeing, leaving only Yuri who was extremely confused.

Yuri really didn't understand what was going on, why did the girl get angry, and then left angrily?It is simply inexplicable.

But thinking of Anna's blushing face, Yuri couldn't help but smile, it was quite cute.
