Have You Considered Xinyue to Be a Military Division?

Neos smiled without saying a word, and glanced at Paulinus: "Your Excellency, long time no see."

Bruce's eyes froze, and he looked at the man beside him with some surprise.

"I haven't told him." Paulinus said coldly.

Neos showed a dazed expression, and quickly lowered his head: "Ah, of course, after all, I am just an ordinary person, and some rumors are just heard from the tavern merchants."

Bruce ignored it, waved his hand, and changed the subject: "So, you said you are an emissary?"

"Yes."

"Since you are an envoy, are you here to negotiate?"

Bruce had a serious expression: "Why did you kidnap the emperor again?"

negotiation......

Paulinus looked straight at the silver-haired man.

I remembered that I was also negotiating with this person in this city a few months ago, but at that time this guy took a knife and put it on his neck.

Neos ignored Paulinus' gaze, looked directly at Bruce, and nodded, "I didn't know about the robbery of the emperor. I just saw Epos's warrior galloping on the way, so he ordered his subordinates to take action."

"Epos?" Bruce sounded familiar.

"The leader of the Trinovent tribe, the flag that fell at the scene before belongs to that tribe," Paulinus said.

Bruce suddenly realized, nodded, and spread his hands: "Go on."

"We repelled their cavalry, and in the carriage we found a man, richly attired, with a golden crown on his head, claiming to be the Emperor of Rome."

Neos paused for a moment: "So we didn't dare to be negligent, and rushed to escort the emperor back to the city."

"So, what about His Majesty the Emperor?" Bruce demanded.

"The emperor is safe now,"

Nios smiled: "However, please finish the negotiation between the two parties, and I will take the two of you to meet again."

"You're kidding me!"

Bruce slapped the table, furious: "Since you know that the emperor has been robbed, then I have every reason to suspect that it is the emperor you kidnapped!"

"I can feel the hostility of Lord Bruce."

Nios smiled gently: "But about this matter, please listen to my explanation before making a decision."

"Explain?" Bruce sneered.

"Correct."

Neos glanced at Paulinus nonchalantly, and said indifferently: "After all, no one wants the emperor to suffer unnecessary harm."

"You're threatening me!" Bruce gritted his teeth.

"Since adults think so..."

Neos looked at the two, gave a "tsk" and nodded: "Yes, I am threatening the two adults."

Bruce froze for a moment, his chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing was heavy.

Paulinus glanced at Neos, then at Bruce, hesitant to speak.

Bruce and Paulinus exchanged glances.

Paulinus shook his head slightly, signaling not to listen.

Nios added: "I believe that at this critical moment, the two adults will make the right choice."

Paulinus glanced at Bruce again and shook his head firmly.

Bruce hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned around: "Come in and talk."

Paulinus almost couldn't help covering his face.

Neos smiled: "Thank you."

......

In the reception hall, three people sat around the table.

"Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Rome and Issini, the former king and queen have abided by the covenant, and the tribute and tax payment have not been cut off. Even after the death of the previous king, the queen has no intention of tearing up the covenant."

Neo sat on the bench calmly, and said softly: "It's just a pity that the Governor-General's expedition to Wales has caused rebellion in the province."

The conversation suddenly came to Paulinus.

He raised his head in confusion, his expression serious.

"Rebellious, who are you calling rebellious!" Bruce interrupted.

Nios contemplated for a moment: "Gattus, the finance officer of the province of Britannia, took advantage of the fact that the garrison was empty during the governor's expedition, so he colluded with other tribes, supported troops privately, and wantonly suppressed and collected money.

Under such circumstances, Her Lady Queen attempted to resist, which led to the tragedy. "

Bruce's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was silent for a long time before turning his head: "Is what he said true?"

Paulinus frowned and opened his mouth subconsciously, but suddenly he didn't know how to explain it.

If he defended Gatus himself, he could of course completely refute Nios' words and confirm the authenticity of Boudica's rebellion.

But the problem is now reversed for Gatos, so if he still cleans up for him, what will Bruce think...

Paulinus looked at the silver-haired man's black eyes in surprise, and felt a chill down his back.

So he knew Bruce would ask himself, he knew he wouldn't defend Gatos, so he knew...

Knowing that he must either be with the current Gattus, or quickly express his position, disassociate himself, affirm his words, and clear Boudica's name.

How vicious!

Paulinus stared coldly and gritted his teeth.

Bruce frowned and asked again: "Paulinus, is he right?"

Breathing heavily, Paulinus let out a bad breath and nodded heavily: "He's right, Gatus is now mixed with the Trinovent tribe."

"No wonder those barbarians have our equipment and understand our tactics!" Bruce said.

"And not so much,"

Neos clicked on the desktop: "At the time when the Governor was besieged in London, instead of sending troops to rescue the Lord Gatus,

Instead, he supported himself in Winchester and took the Second Army as his own in an attempt to plot rebellion. "

Paulinus closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently.

You were the ones who surrounded me back then, motherfuckers!

"And Queen Boudica, with the support and instruction of the governor, sent troops to attack Winchester..."

Neos sighed: "It's a pity that the queen's army is still not as strong as Rome's. Although we succeeded in breaking through the city, we also suffered heavy losses. We accidentally let Gatus escape."

What is my support and inspiration!

Paulinus frowned.

Bruce waved his hand: "I'm not interested in you, just tell me where Gatos is now?"

"Ilchester, he has joined forces with Epos and has tens of thousands of troops," Nios said.

"Bastard, really a bastard!"

Bruce was furious: "When everything is over, he must be crucified!"

Neos raised his eyebrows and looked at the two with a smile.

Paulinus turned away, looking away.

He clenched his fist lightly under the table, firming his judgment.

Although there is no evidence, it is basically certain.

It's the emperor who was kidnapped by this guy!

Paulinus stared at the silver-haired man coldly, the nerves in his brain were tense, and all the causes and consequences were connected in series.

Neos, he has already made arrangements since the beginning of his investment in the Boudica camp.

He figured out the contradictions between the tribes and Gatus's rebellious heart, so he pushed Epos and Gatus to unite either intentionally or invisibly.

At the same time, he also realized that he would definitely distance himself from Gatus, so that he had to admit his defense and forcibly clear the name of that woman Boudica.

Paulinus stared at Neos as if staring at a natural enemy.

Seeing him talking and laughing happily with Bruce, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring the emperor with him.

Then, it was foreseeable that he sent the emperor safely, and the merits and demerits were equalized. Boudica's crime of treason was successfully cleared, and the Essini tribe was able to exist in the province...

So, has this guy already started planning so early?

So, this guy realized early on that Rome would send the emperor himself?

What a terrible enemy.

Paulinus sighed deeply, his back bent involuntarily.

Everything is manipulated and everything is arranged, as if a child is faced with the powerlessness of an adult, only a deep sense of despair emerges from the bottom of his heart.

But that's okay, now that the emperor has come back, the legion has given full authority to the command of Silly White Sweet Bruce.

Afterwards, as long as Gatus and Epos die, the suppression of the rebellion will be considered a success.

At that time, the Senate will be accounted for, the young emperor will be honored, Boudica will be cleared of his crimes, and he will be able to return to Rome, return home, and return to the field...

Paulinus heaved a long sigh, and his ambition faded away.

It's his sanity as an adult, after all, we all get what we want, don't we?

But to his surprise, Neos clearly wanted more than that.

boom!

The violent noise pulled Paulinus out of his self-contemplation.

He looked up in confusion, and saw Bruce slam the table up, the anger in his eyes gushing out like substance.

"You're fucking kidding me!" Bruce growled.
