Daqin: Ask Zulong for the crown prince at the beginning

So, Hu Hai was here, steadied Yingxi, whispered something to Hou Shen, and asked Hou Shen to handle the matter.

Regarding the sudden change of Hu Hai's attitude, Ying Xi didn't think too much about it. He felt that Hu Hai didn't want to make this matter too ugly, so he was so polite to himself.

Ying Zheng died, and Ying Xi's sad mood has basically completely dissipated. Now that Hu Hai is cleaning him up, he can't find any good reason to shirk, so he can only drink with Hu Hai.

Hou Shen, who left from the banquet, had a big head.

How to deal with Yingxi's family now is really a big problem.

Yingju must have told everyone in his family that he couldn't bring the letter out. If only Yingju knew about it, it wouldn't be too troublesome.

But now, Yingxi's family can't be wiped out, right?

In this case, the situation will be completely out of control.

However, none of this can stop Hou Shen.

Rome in the west.

Callis returned to Rome with the remaining warriors.

This is the first time they have suffered such a big failure.

Kalis is one of the best in this country in terms of his personal combat effectiveness and his ability to lead and command troops, so the high-level officials can safely entrust him with this mission.

All the top management are confident that Kalis can complete the task perfectly, but the final result makes them extremely disappointed.

The Roman system, to be honest, is somewhat similar to Ptolemy.

Rome also had its own emperor, but the emperor's rights were not the greatest.In this mighty empire, the most powerful is the House of Elders.

This is also the most sacred place in the entire city of Rome, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter here.

Normally, this place is used to discuss major issues, but today it is very rarely used for criticism.

Today, the person being denounced is the well-known general Kalis.

The Elder's House in Rome was similar in shape to the Roman Colosseum. A few highly respected elders sat in the auditorium. A total of eleven elders surrounded Kalis.

"Tell me, why did you lose so badly? This is the first time in history."

An old man hiding under the cloak said coldly.

"Yes, Callis, you are one of the best fighters in Rome. Even if you failed to perform the mission, is there anyone in this country who can use it?"

Another old man who was also under the cloak asked the same question.

"Elders, this matter is not that simple. This time I was ordered to bring back the people from the northern border, but unfortunately I met the king of the northern border and won Ziye."

Callis directly spoke out what happened to him.

Sure enough, when you said this sentence, the whole venue fell silent.

"What? Ying Ziye came here in person?"

There is not much information about the northern border in Rome.They only know that the northern border has mastered very powerful gunpowder technology, and the very aggressive Roman Empire is quite fond of things.

Therefore, this is the task of Calis.

As for Calis's mission, there is no definite requirement. If he can bring back the gunpowder and the people from the northern border, that would be the best result.

If you can't bring people back, it's also a good choice to bring the goods back. That much gunpowder is enough for them to take a lot of battles.

But what he didn't expect was that he failed to complete any of these two tasks.

The main reason why Calis keeps his subordinates in terms of combat effectiveness is also. If he kills Ying Ziye and prevents Rome from obtaining this technology, then his end will be quite miserable.

If you fail to perform the task, you will be criticized at most, and some punishment will be imposed.

But if Ying Ziye died at his hands, then he must also be buried with him.

Chapter 437 Rome's Attitude

"Yes, elders, I am absolutely not lying to you about this matter. Kalis failed in his mission, and it is indeed not wrong to be punished, but I will not use this method to reduce my punishment."

At this time, the elders spoke again.

"If that's the case, why don't you bring people here?"

The House of Elders is very puzzled. They have prepared such generous conditions. Is it because Kalis did not inform Ying Ziye of the conditions they prepared?

The House of Elders never thought that Kalis's team would meet Ying Ziye himself. With such a generous condition they proposed, Ying Ziye's subordinates would definitely be quite moved after hearing this.

With such rich conditions, as a subordinate, there is no way for him to make decisions for his master.

As for the goods for Ptolemy, they have already thought about it. If the people in the northern border do not intend to give it to them, they will directly grab it.

The [-] Roman army, what a terrifying combat power, it will definitely be able to bring back the gunpowder.

"Elder, it's not that Kalis didn't think of this. The general's military orders are not accepted. Kalis knows that if the elders know that Ying Ziye is here, they will definitely do it. I hope I can bring him back."

"So, Kalis tried to persuade him, but he didn't get Ying Ziye's nod. After being helpless, Kalis planned to bring him back by force."

"But this guy is really too powerful. With the strength of one person, he fought against 2 of us. If he had enough physical strength, we would be wiped out."

At this time, all the elders in Rome could not sit still.

They all stood up from their seats and started the questioning session.

Every Roman soldier has a very strong combat effectiveness.

They simply don't believe that there is any army in this world that can beat them one by one.

Therefore, in their view, an army of [-] is already considered a lot, and it already has a very strong combat effectiveness.

Calis understood very well, if he hadn't personally experienced this battle, he wouldn't believe such a thing.

Afterwards, he told the elders all the details of this mission.

"How could there be such a strong person in this world? I can't accept this matter, Kalis, you should be very clear, how should you be punished? It was decided by us old guys."

"If you continue to talk nonsense now, I will definitely make you look good."

A skinny old man said displeasedly.

"Hey, Elder, I must know about this matter. Kalis can accept failure, but he will never lie, and he can accept any punishment you give me."

Callis's determined eyes explained his inner thoughts.

Kalis' achievements are also very outstanding, and the elders present are very clear that Kalis is a very good fighter, and he has never experienced failure.

And this guy has his own pride, he will never attribute his fault to lies.

After the House of Representatives in Rome was silent for a while, they finally believed what Callis said.

After Kalis had stated everything, he told them about Ying Ziye's attitude.

The old men found it quite interesting.

After seeing their combat effectiveness, Ying Ziye rejected their proposal and insisted on cooperating with Ptolemy, which they did not expect.

But Rome has always respected capable people the most. Since Ying Ziye is so capable, they also plan to have a good exchange.

In the end, the decision to send Ptolemy was made.

Ptolemy is also one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions, but Rome has never taken them seriously, and even made the Ptolemy Party their first target when they opened the Western battlefield.

It is precisely because of looking down on them that there has never been any intersection between the two countries.

In normal terms, if you go to Ptolemy to discuss business, the elders will definitely be quite disgusted, and feel that it is disrespectful for you to ask yourself to go to such a weak country to discuss things.

But it's different now, because of the existence of Ying Ziye, these old guys all want to see Ying Ziye's demeanor.

Therefore, the most respected elder Kells took over this task.

"Since this kid still plans to talk to us, then talk to them, while the kid is still in Ptolemy, old man, hurry up and go there~"

Kells said this as the meeting drew to a close.

Everyone in the room understood that Kells was so active in the past, not because of other reasons, but because Ying Ziye said that if he wanted to do business with him, he had to go through Ptolemy.

Talking to Ptolemy, he looked down upon it a little, that's why he was so positive.

"¨‖Great Elder, how many troops should we bring over this time, is it appropriate?"

After hearing the whole story, the elders unanimously agreed that Kalis performed very well in this matter, and the decision he made in the end not only eased the relationship with Ying Ziye, but also saved so many people. the lives of soldiers.

Not only did he not take the blame for this matter, but he also had some credit for it.

So it was logical that he once again became the general to deal with the northern border.

The Great Elder thought for a moment, then slowly replied.

"Let's bring 20 troops this time~"

20? ? ?

Is this going to fight a war or to discuss business? You can't take these 20 soldiers to demonstrate, right?

After fighting against Ying Ziye, Calis understood Ying Ziye's character to some extent. Judging from Ying Ziye's way of doing things, this guy must be soft rather than hard.

If you bring so many troops to the demonstration, it is very likely that it is just self-defeating, and the things that could have been negotiated ended up falling apart.

So after hearing the decision, Calis expressed doubts on the spot.

"Elder, with a force of 20, did we fight in the past? If we go to war, this force may not be enough. After all, Ptolemy has so much gunpowder now."

The elder's intention, of course, is not to put on clothes in battle.

He knew very clearly that Rome was definitely not the only one who knew that Winning Midnight was coming.

The powerful countries in the Western Regions must have known about this.

Don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of a country. After learning that Ying Ziye is coming, they will definitely throw an olive branch towards Ying Ziye immediately.

He intends to take 20 troops this time, not to deter Ying Ziye, but to deter other Western powers.

Chapter 438 Unreserved Support

Sure enough, the great elder in Rome guessed right, and things turned out exactly as he had expected.

The Seleucid Empire has already begun to act, and the Maurya Kingdom is not idle.

Gunpowder, they all want it. These western powers stand in this vast land and have maintained the balance of the western world for a long time.

No matter which country it is, as long as it belongs to the list of powerful countries, let your country break the balance and stand out in this troubled world.

But it is not a simple matter to achieve this.Every western power has its own trump card and background, and it is not a simple matter to want to defeat each other.

The Ptolemy Empire is a good example. Their soldiers are not very outstanding in combat effectiveness. However, Ptolemy was once the strongest, except for Rome.

The strength of Rome is absolute force, but the strength of Ptolemy is their mysterious special ability.

The ability of Princess Daisy is the best example.

Princess Daisy is so powerful that she can make two kinds of weather appear in one city.

Ptolemy's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even with absolute suppression by force, it is impossible for them to break through Ptolemy's city in a short time.

Once there is a confrontation situation, the situation will be very bad.

Princess Daisy can make the spring warm and the flowers bloom in the city, and at the same time, it can make the snow outside the city.

Such an abnormal ability can change the situation of many battles.

People over there eat and drink, but you are passive like a dog here, how can you guarantee the victory of the war?

There is no doubt that at this time, the emergence of gunpowder is the best opportunity for the Western powers to break this balance.

Therefore, no matter which country you are in, you don't want to miss this opportunity.

After Seleucus received the news of winning the battle between Midnight and Rome, he immediately sent envoys to Ptolemy.

They are not as domineering as Rome, as long as they can cooperate and get the gunpowder formula, they don't mind being grandchildren for a while.

The Peacock Kingdom also had the same attitude. They knew that offending Ying Ziye was not a wise choice, so they also planned to find Ying Ziye in a polite way and cooperate with him.

Every powerful country has a very powerful intelligence network. Although they didn't see the battle between Ying Ziye and Rome, they knew all the details.

Now, for this group of Westerners, what they want is not only the technology of gunpowder, but also the martial arts of winning Ziye.
