king of ros

Chapter 258
A lot has happened in Moscow these days.

First, a large number of mercenaries left the city in a hurry and headed eastward, and their leader was a short and strong man.

It is said that this mercenary has a nickname called "Hammer", and he has quite a reputation on the battlefield. It seems that some lords hired him to fight, and finally won a big victory.

Then, the candidate for the commander of the Moscow battalion, who has always been the main topic of chatting among Muscovites after dinner, suddenly came out. A boy from the East became the commander of this elite team.

At the beginning, people still had a lot of opinions on this, why a young man from the east suddenly became the army of the city named after Moscow, but when the news spread that this was the order of the prince, no one said anything. Everyone knows that their princes often act recklessly.

Then there were actually people selling the Bible in the market, and some church people expressed the reliability of the Bible and the approval of the church to the sales platform. The most important thing was that the selling price was half the price compared to the church.

Moreover, the Bible was copied very neatly, every letter seemed to be the same, such a neat Bible is very rare.

In fact, even if there is no such half price reduction, it will not affect the business. Due to the problem of copying speed, books have always been priced and there is no market. Even if you have money, you can’t buy books-the situation is so realistic.

So these dozens of books were quickly purchased, and the buyers were basically wealthy and educated Moscow citizens.

A small amount went to the villages near Moscow, and these Christian villages were happy to use their savings to buy Bibles.

But what they didn't know was that another group of pastors embarked on a missionary journey, and these people all had Bibles in their hands.

Some quick-thinking and well-informed businessmen realized that most of what happened in Moscow was able to take out these neat Bibles. Their knowledge told them that it was possible for one or two to be so neat, and they could both be so neat. That must be a problem.

It's a pity that their temptations didn't work. Those who sold were very popular, and they only saw them walk into the Red City when they left.

And this is even more desperate, places like Red City are not something they can easily enter.

While these things were happening, the lives of Moscow residents continued as before.

After all, these things don't affect the lives of ordinary residents of Moscow very much. Anyway, their lives are still the same after all, working hard for living, and living for working hard.

But there was one thing that caught everyone's attention, and that was Master Alexei, who had returned from Kyiv, announcing that he was going to give a grand play at the theater named after him, bringing all the classic plays he had made over the years Play it all out.

In Moscow, rich and poor alike, Master Alexei was adored by everyone, and his popularity increased even further after he performed and gained popularity in Kyiv.

Because his plays can bring a little joy to their boring life, let people temporarily forget the hard work of life, and immerse themselves in the beautiful stories this playwright has constructed for people.

And because Alexei was very handsome, many people wanted him to be their son-in-law, and many young girls were eager to marry him, which made his popularity rise again and again.

Therefore, on the opening day of the Alexei Theater the entire theater was quickly occupied, the open space in front of the stage was filled with crowds, and there were supporters of the playwright everywhere.

The second and third floors surrounding the stage are full of wealthy businessmen and nobles. They sit leisurely on the chairs in the box with small plates full of various snacks in hand.

But what these rich businessmen and nobles didn't know was that there were still people sitting on the roof above their heads, and a few boys who were not afraid of death climbed up directly to enjoy the best viewing position.

Everyone pretends not to have seen this, after all you have seen it, can you let these brats come down by yelling?That would show you a bit ashamed instead.

"Viona, hurry up, the show is about to start, there are so many people today, even Lord Rostislav is here."

Alexey lifted the curtain behind the stage slightly, and saw Rostislav talking happily with the handsome boy beside him, who he also knew, Adam Dulu.

The playwright himself didn't notice that there was a lot more tension in his words than usual.

Alexei didn't expect that he would have such a big reaction just after leaving Moscow for a while, and the large number of people this time really made him a little scared.

"I'm here, I'm here, I didn't expect so many people to come this time, maybe my brother is here too."

Clear and powerful words sounded, and a young woman in a fine attire came over. There was a small scar on her face. The scar was so small that it didn't affect her face, and it added a little more charm to her.

This beautiful woman is Domhnall's younger sister, Vionna Burns, who is only 19 years old this year, but she started to fight on the battlefield when she was 13 years old.

Viona accepted the invitation of her elder brother Domhnall to come to Northeast Ross a few years ago. Their brother and sister are both mercenaries, but Viona is more active in the forests of Ireland.

After seeing the performance of the Alexei Troupe, Viona, who came to Northeast Ross, decided to join the troupe's performance. She was eager to stand on the stage and receive the attention of everyone.

And her face and voice gave him great points, so it didn't take long for her to become the headliner of the troupe.

"Speaking of your brother, I heard that Rostislav plans to let us go on tour in the countryside every once in a while. It is estimated that your brother will be our guard at that time. You should have a good chat with him then."

Alexei's eyes were all on the prince of Moscow, but he was talking about other things.

"Ha, my old brother, just don't trick us to death. He has made many mistakes in a rash manner."

Viona's tone was full of disdain for her brother, but Alexei didn't continue this topic because the bell had already rung, which meant the show had begun!

--------

In the royal box on the third floor, Rostislav watched leisurely the actress below showing her singing voice, which was singing a elegy:
The woman's son killed the enemy far away, but he didn't know that it was his father that he put his head on the point of the spear. People will suffer supreme punishment, no matter what kind of gods will forgive such people.

The actress had a beautiful voice, and she apparently sang very well, which made the Prince of Moscow very useful, and Rostislav knew the actress, who was Domnar's sister.

Rostislav was very interested in the relationship between the brother and sister. They were like enemies. He still remembered how this Viona caused the Red City to be in a state of chaos.

It's interesting to say that the kind of tolerance that Rostislav showed because he found it interesting was completely misunderstood by Zoe. Zoe was so jealous at the time that she got into trouble with him in various ways.

Fortunately, this kind of problem is still easy to deal with. Rostislav worked hard that night and fed Zoe, so his Greek wife regained that kind of obedience and gentleness, and never provoked trouble again.

By Rostislav's side, the young Adam was a little restless.

He knew that the play in front of him was used by Rostislav to mock his uncle's murder, so did the prince of Moscow want to show something?

And he also knew that the program list for this performance was arranged by the prince. Now that the prince arranged this and then called him, it was hard not to believe that the prince did not intend to imply anything.

For example, is it about time to send troops to Bulgar? You must know that it is only a matter of time before troops are dispatched from all over Moscow, which makes Adam look forward to it.

So Adam looked very stable, but in fact he was so nervous that he didn't know what kind of medicine was in Rostislav.
