After hearing what Xia Zhe said, Yina turned around and saw Lillian's surprised face, and her heart ached.
If Xia Zhe insisted on not changing his words and deliberately sowed discord between her and her brother, Yina might not believe him at all.
But when Xia Zhe said this, Yina's mind suddenly became clear.
Wise and brave?
My brother the king can indeed be described as wise and brave!
But his kindness and righteousness are unparalleled.
But it's definitely not Alexander's style!
Ina understood in her heart.
For the sake of victory, Brother Alexander is really willing to sacrifice everything!
I had actually seen so much with my own eyes back then!
But I have never put myself in those people's shoes. Every time I think Brother Wang is very resolute and courageous, and has a good sense of the overall situation!
Until now, when this happened to her, Yina suddenly realized what kind of pain it was!
"We've reached the exit of the secret passage! Lady, please feel free to ask for anything you want! As long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you!"
The dazzling sunlight shone on their faces, and before they knew it, the three of them had returned to the exit of the palace garden.
The guards around had been sent away by Xia Zhe.
Now there are only three people here: Ina, Xia Zhe and Lillian.
"Give me a fast horse and enough money. I want to leave Stoby and go out to breathe the free air!"
Ina sneered, a barely perceptible sadness flashing across her eyes.
"No problem! No problem! In fact, I have been wanting to let you go these two days! Lillian, go and prepare quickly. Remember, don't alarm anyone!" Xia Zhe replied quickly.
Hearing this, Lillian dared not neglect and left in a hurry.
Only Xia Zhe and Ina were left in the palace garden.
After hearing what Xia Zhe said in the secret passage just now, Ina knew that King Stobi was not lying.
In fact, after Lillian's daily nagging these days, coupled with her own observation of Xia Zhe's heroic "sand table training", Ina no longer hated King Stoby so much.
Once you let go of that obsession in your heart, everything becomes much easier.
She did not make things difficult for Xia Zhe, but just stood there and waited patiently.
"Here comes the good horse! And a big bag of gold coins! Princess Ina, please release the king!"
It wasn't long before Lillian had everything Ina wanted ready.
The king's life was still in the hands of the other party, so Lillian naturally did not dare to act rashly and did not notify the guards.
"Then I'm sorry!"
Seeing that Lillian really didn't bring anyone, Ina nodded in satisfaction and suddenly took action.
With a slap, she hit Lillian on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious.
Then, Ina turned around with a smile and took out a rope from her arms.
"This is what you used to tie me up when you interrogated me that day. Now I'm leaving, and I'm afraid you'll change your mind, so I want to tie you up too. What do you think? Are you happy with that?" Ina said.
"To die beneath the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. Lady, if you want to tie me up and take me back, I will certainly cooperate!"
Seeing that Ina didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, Xia Zhe suppressed his fear and answered calmly.
"Ha! You, King Stoby, are quite interesting!"
Hearing this, Ina smiled again, as if the ice and snow had melted and the flowers were blooming, which made Xia Zhe stunned.
Then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the rope seemed to come alive, twisting and turning, and soon tied Xia Zhe tightly.
Xia Zhe helplessly watched everything happening in front of him, not daring to say a word.
"As graceful as a startled swan, as elegant as a flying dragon. As glorious as autumn chrysanthemums, as luxuriant as spring pines. I like this poem very much." After tying up Xia Zhe, Ina smiled at him for the third time and suddenly spoke again.
"What? Where did you hear this? I..."
Xia Zhe was stunned when he heard this and asked subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, a fragrant breeze blew over, and a piece of cloth was stuffed firmly into his mouth, making it impossible for him to make any sound.
"I'm going! King Stoby!"
She jumped on the horse, waved to Xia Zhe, and rode away with extraordinary agility.
Xia Zhe stared blankly at the fierce woman as she finally left, feeling mixed emotions, unable to tell whether he felt relieved or regretful.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lillian woke up slowly.
After hurriedly helping Xia Zhe untie the ropes, Lillian planned to call the guards and inform the Prime Minister to send someone after him.
"Forget it! I originally wanted to let this guy go. He left on his own and it's just a relief. Let's close the entrance to the secret passage first, and then notify Ajax to check the stone house. That's the real thing!" Xia Zhe stopped him.
"yes!"
Hearing this, Lillian saluted, turned around, triggered the mechanism, and closed the secret passage. Then, she planned to go find Ajax.
"Yes. You have recited the poem "Shen Shen Fu of Luo River" to Ina, right?" Xia Zhe asked, remembering something.
"I deserve to die. I thought Princess Ina would like my king, so I recited this poem written by the king to her several times! At that time, Princess Ina said that this poem was well-written and better than any poem she had ever heard!" Lillian was stunned and hurriedly knelt down to explain.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking. Go get Ajax."
Xia Zhe nodded and motioned for Lillian to stand up. Only then did he leave with a sense of melancholy.
A few days later.
In the palace of the Great King of Pella, the capital of Macedonia.
"Princess Yina might have gone out to play somewhere, so she hasn't come back yet!"
Upon hearing the news that Ina had successfully escaped but had not returned to Macedonia, Antigonus pretended to be confused.
In fact, he understood it very well.
It was obvious that Ina made this choice because she was dissatisfied with Alexander's actions.
"Why bother with such a simple-minded woman? I think she has probably gone back to her hometown of Seranda. We have many important things to do now. Romance is meaningless!" Alexander replied.
After saying this, Alexander pointed to a map of the Great Northern Region on the wall and talked about the mission of summoning Antigonus today.
"Stobi is temporarily in the upper hand in the north, and our chances of winning if they attack proactively are slim. The most urgent task is to advance eastwards and try to seize the good port of Methionium and open up an outlet to the sea! It would be best to destroy Methionium in one fell swoop!" said Alexander.
Open up the sea outlet!
Destroy Metonian!
Antigonus was shocked to hear Alexander's decision.
Macedonia is not actually a landlocked country and has its own coastline.
But due to the lack of a good harbor, only fishermen's small fishing boats can go out to sea.
There is nowhere for military warships or large merchant ships to dock.
When Philip was alive, Macedonia held a court meeting on the direction of expansion.
As a result of the discussion, everyone felt that Metonian in the east was even more powerful than the alliance of Ain and Anissa, and that engaging in a tug-of-war with it would not be worth the effort.
So, in the end, Philip gave up the idea.
It is totally unexpected that Alexander is eager to go to war with the big country when Macedonia’s strength has not yet recovered to the level of Philip’s era!
This made Antigonus' face look heavy.
