Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

Seleucus noticed my reaction.He looked at me sideways and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

I avoided his gaze, but heard him sigh softly: "I won't force you to do anything anymore, Bagoss, just do whatever you like. If you want something too persistently, you will get everything." Less than... If I were Alexander, it would be great."

Seleucus sent for a horse to be brought to me, and I mounted it and shook the rein.

"My lord, do you still remember the story you told me? The little boy standing on the stone platform."

He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes: "You still remember."

I nodded: "I haven't told you all this time. In fact, I once asked Tai Qisi. Let me make a bold guess. Maybe...that little boy is..."

"I lied to you."

"what?"

"I don't have that person, nor that story, and I don't have anything I can't forget, Goddess Aphthrodite, I have been like this since I was a child," Seleucus looked forward, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I have known how to tell lies since I was a child." Words to make others happy."

I was taken aback, but felt a lot more at ease.This is the Seleucus I know.I will not go to other people's homes to cook for others for the first time, I will not drag people away from the barracks on impulse, and I will not only care about one person over and over again.That's not like him, he is a lover, he should live among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf touches his body.

I said, "How about Hiropoli? Did Alexander take it?"

"No, how could it be so easy? We are still in a stalemate. The current situation is not good." Seleucus said with a gloomy expression, "Our cavalry leader, Amyntas, has been captured."

"what?!"

That boyish smile flashed through my mind, Amyntas, he was caught?

"So how is he doing now?" I grabbed the reins.

Seleucus shook his head silently: "The leader of Scythia threatened Alexander with Amyntas, saying that if he did not agree to their withdrawal conditions at noon, he would throw his head off the city wall. Now the two sides are at a stalemate. Ptolemy was going mad...Amintas was his best friend."

"Amin..." Is another person going to die for Alexander?I smiled wryly, and I still remember Amin’s round eyes when he talked about Alexander with me. He was so proud, because he followed no one else, but the Alexander he admired the most.

"My lord," I hesitated, "Your Majesty, what is his attitude? Will he save Amyntas?"

"Do you want to hear the real answer?" Seleucus glanced at me, his usual sloppy expression became quite serious, "To be honest, I don't think Scythia's strategy is so clever. They are playing with fire. Once they are completely Enrage Alexander, and even a massacre of the city may happen."

Without even thinking about it, I denied it: "Impossible! Alexander couldn't have massacred the city! Many people are innocent people, how could he kill them for no reason?"

Seleucus said leisurely: "Bagos, don't be too surprised. Since Alexander went to the battlefield at the age of 16, His Majesty Philip sent me to his side. Five or six years, isn't it enough for me to know this person? Even if Alexander Accepting their conditions, Amyntas may not be able to keep it, and he would feel ashamed if he still has a bit of backbone. Amyntas is not a good weight. If it is Hephaestion, there may be a play, But Alexander has always watched Hephaistion very closely..."

"You mean," I swallowed my saliva, and said with difficulty, "for His Majesty, Amyntas' life or death is indifferent?"

Seleucus paused and looked at me without smiling.

"Yes, Bagoss, of course, if it were me, I might not even hesitate."

The team moved forward slowly. Last night's snowfall covered the entire plain in white. Many Greeks had never seen such a scene, and it was extremely novel.Everyone admired it one after another, and some even carefully picked up a lump of snow from the ground and put it in a small jar they carried with them.

"My wife was pregnant when I left, and the child may be able to walk now," the soldier said with a smile to the people beside him, "I haven't decided on a name yet, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but anyway, I really want them to come and see this scene with me, how beautiful it is!"

Maybe I really don't understand Alexander.His brutality, his vanity, and his ruthlessness at all costs for his ambition are all too far away from me.This kind of him is very strange, just like every tyrant read in history books, who used iron cavalry and violence to lay down his own country.And I like that gentle man, the one who can give me infinite hope and courage just by looking at me, the one who wiped away my tears when I was sad and cried, and hugged me tightly when I had nightmares, that one He with hair the color of a wheat field.

It was really painful.I looked down at my wounded hands.

If I had met him earlier, when he was still young and lonely, before Hephaistion entered his life, when he had just mounted the bull's head and galloped happily across the fields.If it was then, I could grow up with him, hold him in my arms at his most helpless moment, and tell him how proud I am of him.I can even hold him by the shoulder and say, yes, Alexander, no one can have everything, but there is always someone who is willing to give up everything for you.

The thing I regret the most is that I didn't meet you sooner.

But it was just such a mistake. When we first met, he had already traveled thousands of rivers and mountains.

He has grown up enough to face the whole world alone.

Thick black smoke billowed in the distance, and the beating of drums continued, and I could smell the flames of war.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, seven cities in three days, he did what he said.Then it was my turn to say goodbye, the world of BC.

Seleucus said: "It's almost noon, let's wait here."

I nodded.

As soon as I got off my horse, I saw a messenger ran to Seleucus and whispered a few words.

Seleucus frowned slightly.

Seeing me looking at him, he took off his helmet, and his green eyes were cold: "Amintas has died, and Alexander has begun to attack the city."

There was a buzzing in my head, and I had a splitting headache.

My name is Amintas, you can call me Amin.

This sentence echoed in my ears repeatedly.Had I known it would be like this, I would rather have never known him in the discussion tent at that time.

"He committed suicide," said Seleucus, "while the Scythian soldiers were not paying attention, he jumped off the city wall."

Desperately, I walked over to a rock and sat down.

Seleucus came up to me: "Tomorrow this city will be razed to the ground."

The sky started to snow again, and my palms were icy cold.

I suddenly said, "My lord, how long have you been away from Macedonia?"

"Three years."

I rubbed my hands: "After so long, do you miss your hometown?"

He shrugged noncommittally.

I chuckled, "I kind of miss it."

"You want to go home?"

"Yeah, but I still can't let it go..."

Wait... I suddenly remembered who was sitting next to me, so I couldn't help but stop talking.

I looked at Seleucus' face, and my eyes gradually widened.Seleucus, my God, Seleucus, this is the founding emperor of the Seleucid Empire!I remember he was one of those who carved up the lands of Alexandria at the end!Many historical materials speculate boldly, thinking that Alexander's subsequent sudden death was also related to him.

Who else is coming... By the way, Ptolemy!I feel creepy that Ptolemy occupied and divided Egypt after Alexander's death and became the first pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty.Is this Alexander's biological brother also related to Alexander's death!Will he stab Alexander in the back?

I stood up abruptly.

Although I really don't want to admit it, the death of Amyntas will definitely deal a big blow to Ptolemy, and it is unknown whether he might take his anger on Alexander because of this!

And Krest, although I forgot who he is, but obviously, this person also has opinions on Alexander!

Thinking of this, my hands and feet suddenly became cold.

Antigonus, Antigonus is also a member, he is the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Antigonus!

My God, Alexander's death is a mystery.Some historical books claim that Alexander died of illness, but the film script Oliver hired a screenwriter from somewhere, but it was written that he was killed by a cup of poisoned wine conspired by these courtiers!

You know, I have a herd of lions under me, not sheep.Alexander's words still echoed in my ears.

I put my eyes on Seleucus, and the delicate face in front of me actually showed a bit of treachery.

The man always had a detached attitude, and although he tried to restrain himself, his ironic tone when talking about Alexander often came naturally.Pretending to be indifferent, but actually caring about power and status. Could it be that this is the real Seleucus?Like he said, because he's so good at telling lies, it's easy to fool me?

"What's wrong with you? Do you feel cold?" Seleucus looked at me puzzled, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

My arms couldn't help shaking. Was Alexander murdered or did he really accidentally fall ill and die?Alexander, do you know that you are taking a big gamble?In the end, you really don't even have a reliable person by your side!Are these people just loyal ministers who carve up Alexander's inheritance, or treacherous ministers who are willing to kill for the power in his hands?God, I can't tell the difference!

"My mind is very confused now, and I want to be alone for a while." I supported my head with my arms and forced the words through my teeth, "My lord, go get busy first, I won't run around."

"It's okay, I'll be with you," Seleucus raised his eyebrows and smiled at me, "It's a bit cold here, there's a tent over there, there's no one else except Krest, he was shot by an arrow, and he's recuperating inside, would you like Come in and sit for a while?"
