With such thoughts in mind, Neos looked at the sky with a worried expression.

I just feel that I am in a huge net, unable to get out, and my heart is more confused than ever before.

Nero looked at his drooping eyelids, a little stunned.

It is rare for this person to show such an expression. In the hearts of everyone living in this city, their Lord Neos will always be the one who controls everything.

He will not be confused, will not panic, has no desire, always calculates everything early, and never makes mistakes.

But do such people really exist?

Nero gave himself a negative answer.

Because the expression of Neos now is exactly the same as the way she sits in the palace every night, overlooking the city of Rome.

Others always think that she is the emperor, so she is never alone, she has power, so she must be happy...

For no reason, Nero stretched out his hand and pushed him.

Neos came back to his senses, turned his head and saw the girl standing side by side with him: "If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."

"No." Neos shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm just suggesting you do it from a stranger's point of view,"

Nero tilted his head and looked at him: "After all, there are some things that you should not tell your close ones, because you are afraid that they will misunderstand, worry, and get angry.

But like you said, I'm a Roman who will be leaving soon and probably never see you again.

So it would be better to treat me as a tree hole to confide in. "

After all, she shrugged her shoulders, looking very heartless.

Nios looked down at the girl, his eyes touched her flowing eyes, and her "I understand you" chuckle.

Few people dare to talk to him like this, and few people talk to him as an ordinary person.

Neos felt that if his heart was really the Holy Grail, then there must be ripples in the cup at this moment.

After a long time, he sighed faintly and smiled: "Thank you, but I'm fine..."

Nero blinked, seeing that he still refused, he couldn't help but let out an "oh" in disappointment.

But the smile immediately switched out, rolled his eyes, and patted his chest: "It's fine if you have nothing to do, you can always come to me if you have anything to do in the future,

I, Lucius, have good acting skills, so there is nothing wrong with crying and laughing with me! "

"..."

"okay."

Chapter 176 Chapter 170 Five

"Master? Master?"

With some respect, the girl's cry rang in my ears.

Neos came back to his senses, put down the wax board, and scanned the sides of the long table.

There was no sound in the ceremony hall. Beside the long table, on the left were representatives of various ministries and elder leaders in the city, and on the right were the queen and princess.

Originally, everyone was called to announce the next task, but Neos stopped inexplicably when he was half-speaking, causing everyone to look at each other, but dared not speak.

"Sorry, I was distracted..." Neos smiled apologetically,

Everyone was stunned, with surprise on their faces.

Boudica and her daughter looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Would an existence like him be distracted?

"Well, we just said..."

Nios didn't care, and continued to pick up the wax board, and continued with the words just now: "This sudden change has caused the entire tribe's plan to be moved ahead of schedule.

And if we want to take the lead in the current situation, we need everyone here to do their own thing well. "

"Yes!"

Neos nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Boudica: "First of all, Her Majesty Queen's leading troops this time is the top priority and should not be underestimated."

"No problem, it's all up to your arrangement." Boudica looked serious.

Neos nodded: "Your Majesty, the number of troops you lead this time has accounted for [-]% of the city's troops, so you must be extremely careful.

Because once you have an accident here, then we will fall into a situation where we have no soldiers to use and can only be attacked casually. "

Feeling the slightest pressure, Boudica nodded his head heavily: "Ah, I see!"

"Well, so I have to explain to Her Lady Queen that the main purpose of this expedition is not to break the city, nor to defeat the enemy." Neos said.

Boudica was taken aback: "Then why should I lead the troops?"

"For containment, for surveillance!"

Neos' tone was firm: "As long as you lead a large army around Epos, then he and other leaders will not dare to be distracted, so they muster most of their forces to compete with us for the treasure."

"I understand." Boudica understood.

"So when the time comes, you only need to watch Epos and Gatus fight from behind. Unless you have to, never take the initiative to attack, so as not to be attacked by friendly forces from the side."

He is the only one who is always on guard against allies.

Boudica sighed: "Well, I understand."

After Neos finished talking about the expedition, he turned to Ania: "The other thing is the princess."

Anya stopped in an instant, her expression solemn.

"The queen is going out this time, and I have to go out of the city, so you have to take on the responsibility of guarding the city." Neos said slowly.

The girl clenched her hands suddenly, pursed her lips, nodded heavily, and her shoulders suddenly became as heavy as a mountain.

"With the army pouring out, the fact that the city is empty is unavoidable, so the only troops you can use are the few hundred people who maintain law and order on weekdays.

As for how to distribute the hundreds of people, you should listen to Lord Turner's advice. "

After Neos finished speaking, Anya exchanged glances with Turner and nodded.

"Besides, even if the war starts, the city still needs to operate as usual, so you, as a princess, should manage the city on her behalf when the queen is away.

Therefore, you must diligently go to court on weekdays, listen to the reports of the officials every day, and then consider reasonable suggestions and make correct decisions. said Neos.

"Yes, master!" Anya bowed her head.

"Very good. As for if someone takes advantage of the emptiness of the city and tries to attack the city, I have already told you how to deal with it. Fei will fully support you when the time comes, so don't worry too much,"

Neos showed a gratified smile, "But even if I say this, for my suggestions, you must learn to think independently and use them flexibly.

You can neither go your own way nor be rigid and stubborn. "

Anya nodded deeply.

After saying this, Neos stood up from his seat, glanced solemnly, and said, "I have finished the duties of Her Majesty Queen and Her Majesty Princess, so now it is you..."

His eyes suddenly changed, from the clear spring of the ancient well without waves, to the deep sea with dark tides and turbulent waves.

All the generals and ministers are all sitting upright, ready to fight.

"After this grand ceremony, our trade partners have increased dramatically, so new caravans must set off as soon as possible to establish and expand our business routes and business circles!"

Nios waved his hand and ordered, expressionless: "At the same time, in order to disturb Rome, I want everyone in the business circle to convey that this treasure is just a false rumor.

Don't ask the other party to believe, just ask the other party to have doubts! "

"Yes!"

"As for my going out to search for treasures this time, I must not spread or leak any secrets!"

Nios stared at everyone coldly: "Whether it's your wives, your lovers, your friends or your children, once you find out, the whole family will be implicated, and you will never show mercy!"

His order was so cold that one could tremble, and everyone bowed their heads in agreement, not daring to make a sound.

After scanning everyone's face, Nios waved his hand: "If you hear everything clearly, then there is no need to say more, let's go away."

The air in the hall seemed to come alive again, the door opened, and a group of people left the place quickly, not wanting to stay for half a second.

The room instantly became empty.

Boudica looked at Neos, hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, Your Lady Queen?" Neos saw her expression.

"Uh, it's nothing. I just thought that the punishment that implicated the whole family might be too severe." Boudica said weakly.

Neos raised his eyelids, turned his head to look at her, and then at Anya.

The girl also felt a little unbearable, but she didn't dare to say it.

Neos sighed and sat down: "Because this treasure hunt is the most important thing compared to defending the city and crusade."

The mother and daughter were stunned.

"No way, although we don't like the gods, the common people don't think so."

Nios explained: "After all, the folk customs from childhood to adulthood, as well as the worship of gods in festival ceremonies, have long been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Perhaps for the rulers, religion is just a tool to govern the people, so that the people are obedient, do not think, and do not make trouble.

But for the lower class, it is their belief, the only consolation for their painful life, and it is inviolable. "

"So this is why Rome has been trying to deify its own emperor?" Ania murmured.

"That's right." Neos nodded.

"What's the matter, don't we also have our own gods?" Boudica pointed at Neos with disdain.

Anya nodded in agreement.

Nios closed his eyes lightly, he didn't bother to explain anymore, and continued: "So I searched for the treasure this time to prove to the people of the whole of Britain that Queen Boudica ruled the entire island legitimacy.
