Princess Anna's answer surprised Queen Sophia.
Li Chengdao had never been here before?!
"What's going on? You didn't resist, did you?”
Queen Sofia could not help but ask.
Princess Anna had inherited her beauty. Although she had not fully grown up yet, she was not inferior to her in terms of appearance.
Li Chengdao had never been here before. Her first reaction was that Princess Anna was resisting.
Because she knew her daughter's personality very well, she made such a guess.
" No," Princess Anna shook her head." It has nothing to do with me."”
Princess Anna was a very rational person.
She was now a bargaining chip in Li Chengdao's hands to control her mother and was also a hostage. How could she anger Li Chengdao because of some meaningless shame and bring trouble to her mother?
As the princess of a fallen country, her current situation was already very good.
At least the person she married was a talented emperor, young and valiant, and she had the noble position of imperial concubine.
Therefore, if Li Chengdao came to visit her, she would serve him obediently.
"I've observed that he basically rests in the palace behind the royal study every night so that he can meet the officials in court early the next morning.”
"He handles government affairs until very late every day. He has almost devoted all his energy to the empire.”
Princess Anna explained with a complicated expression.
Li Chengdao's persistence and diligence amazed her.
Her father Heracles was a diligent emperor in the history of Byzantine Empire, but he was nothing compared to Li Chengdao.
Queen Sofia was also surprised and said,""I'm afraid this is the reason why he was able to rise up and overthrow the empire in ten years.”
"Young, hardworking, ambitious, and capable. I really can't imagine why there are such people in the world.”
"Perhaps he really is the reincarnation of the King of Pantheon.”
Queen Sofia sighed, and Princess Anna fell silent.
They couldn't think of any weaknesses on a person like Li Chengdao.
.........
The next morning.
Li Chengdao once again summoned Empress Sofia and left the palace with her, a few generals, and a group of imperial guards.
Sitting in the same carriage as Li Chengdao, Empress Sofia was not nervous or afraid.
However, being summoned out of the palace so early in the morning, she was very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, where are you taking me?”
Looking at the scenery outside the carriage, Empress Sofia could not help but ask Li Chengdao.
Li Chengdao had slept very late last night and was pretending to sleep.
He didn't even open his eyes when he heard that. He said indifferently,"Go outside the city, to the Holy See's Crusader Captive Camp.”
The 200,000 captives of the Holy See army were gathered together and stationed outside Constantinople. The Heavy Armor Army and Mo Saber Army took turns to guard them.
Hearing that they were going to the Crusader captive camp, Queen Sofia was shocked.
Before she could ask why, Li Chengdao said,""You don't need to do anything. You just need to follow zhen and speak when zhen tells you to.”
Queen Sofia had no choice but to swallow her words. She nodded slightly and said obediently,"Yes, Your Majesty."
........
The carriage soon left Constantinople. A group of 500 Mo Saber Army soldiers was already waiting outside.
The commander of the Mo Saber Army was Luo Yi.
Luo Yi was an old official of the Eastern Palace and the former Governor of Youzhou. He had followed Li Chengdao to the Continent and was now in charge of an army.
"Right military guard great general Luo Yi greets Your Majesty!”
A white-robed general dismounted from his horse and knelt down on one knee before Li Chengdao.
"The soldiers of the Mo Saber Army pay their respects to Your Majesty!“
The five hundred Mo Saber Guards knelt down and saluted in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful.
Empress Sofia was shocked. Li Chengdao got off the carriage and smiled faintly."Soldiers, rise. There's no need to be so polite.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did Luo Yi stand up. After a gesture, the other soldiers also stood up.
"I'm here today to inspect the captives. General Luo, please lead the way for me."”
Luo Yi had already received the news that Li Chengdao was coming over for an inspection today, so he naturally wasn't surprised when he heard this.
He glanced at Queen Sophia, who was standing beside Li Chengdao, and then went forward to lead the way.
The captive camp was huge, but it was not chaotic.
Great Qian Empire had its own methods of managing captives. They would give them a limited amount of food and make them work so that they would not have the energy to resist.
The Heavy Armor Army and Mo Saber Army who were guarding the captives were only there to monitor the situation and did not abuse the captives.
Of course, those who resisted or tried to escape were killed without mercy, and their heads were hung in front of the military camp to intimidate them.
After a period of supervision, these 200,000 captives had long learned to obey.
They listened to the management, and everything in the military camp was orderly. It did not look like a captive concentration camp at all.
Queen Sofia would be lying if she said she wasn't surprised by the environment of the captive camp.
Before she came, she had already prepared herself to see the tragic state of the Holy See's former warriors.
Unexpectedly, the scene she saw was very different from what she had imagined.
The news that the Holy Emperor and the Pope had come to inspect the captive camp had spread among the captives under Luo Yi's deliberate propaganda, causing an uproar.
That was His Holiness the Pope.
The person they were loyal to!
Now that His Holiness the Pope had come to the military camp, he was definitely here to save them!
All the captives were looking forward to it.
They lined up neatly in front of their respective tents, their expressions full of excitement and agitation.
Under the expectation of the captives, Li Chengdao and Queen Sophia walked into the military camp surrounded by the soldiers of the Mo Saber Army.
The captives were stunned when they saw the two of them.
"Didn't you say that His Holiness the Pope was coming? Why haven't I seen him?"
"That's Queen Sophia! She's still alive?"
"Wait, look! The queen was wearing the Pope's robe! The golden staff in his hand!"
"Why is the Golden Divine Staff in Queen Sophia's hands?!”
"Only the Pope can have a Divine Staff!”
.........
All the captives were in an uproar, and the camp was in an uproar.
Queen Sophia, who was wearing the pope's robe and holding the golden staff, had given them a huge shock!
