Chapter 1387: The Seleucid Army

"What is this?" In a secret forest outside the gate, two groups of people met quietly. One side is dressed as a businessman, and the other side is dressed as a Huns.

It was a man dressed as a Hun who spoke, and he looked at the things in his hand and was very puzzled.

"It's the book. ”

"Of course I know it's a book, but we're here to rob you, why are you giving me a book?" the Hun man wondered.

"This is the general's order, is there a strange group of soldiers under the Huns?" the merchant asked.

"This is also what I was about to tell you, it is true, they came from the other side of the desert, and they were taken in by Touman, so they are working for Touman, they are very powerful, go back and tell the general to be careful of suffering. "It turns out that this Xiongnu is also a Qin person, but he is undercover in the Xiongnu.

"It's already a loss, so now the general wants to get rid of them, and this book is the key. If you go back and look at the things recorded in this book, you will understand. The merchant said, and began to undress.

Since it was a robbery, it was natural to be thorough, and basically every time they connected, they had to give all the goods, belongings and clothes to this man who was undercover in the Huns.

The man nodded, he naturally knew how to deal with it, he would find a Qin slave to read these books when he went back. In fact, he knows Xiao Seal, but as an undercover agent, his setting is that although the Huns can speak lame Qin dialect, they will not know Xiao Seal.

After the joint was completed, the Xiongnu turned around and went to the steppe with things and things, and soon disappeared on the floor line. And the group of merchants who withered in the cold wind were also received by the army, and even the Great Qin army didn't know that they were actually connecting, and when they saw the appearance of the merchants, they immediately scolded the Huns.

The Hun spy's name was 'Ebon' and he was a small leader of the Hun tribe. After returning with a full load again, the leader of the head man naturally loved Ebony and gave a part of his wealth to Ebon, and the rest was his own.

And Ebony didn't say anything, but went back to his camp to find the scholar captured by the Qin State and asked him to read to him.

Su Qing is this unlucky guy, he was originally a county official in a border town, but unfortunately he was arrested a few years ago, and he was a slave until now, Su Qing only fell into the hands of Ebony after changing hands several times.

In Su Qing's heart, Ebony is relatively good, at least he just let him take care of the accounts, and will not let him do heavy work, so that he has the feeling of a scholar again.

"The Great Voyage?" Su Qingxin said What is this? It seems to be a book, but it is not a bamboo slip or a brocade silk, and I have never seen this kind of material.

"I think the merchant seems to like reading this, it should be interesting, you can read it to me. Ebony said.

Su Qing nodded, he thought that Ebony didn't know how to read, and he didn't doubt it, so he started his own work.

Soon both of them were immersed in the world of the book, which was both a treasure book and a fantasy. At least Su Qing didn't believe that there was any continent on the other side of the sea at all, and if there was an immortal mountain, how could it be a place occupied by primitive people. There are no immortals, only slaves, this kind of thing goes against the ancestors' setting for overseas.

Just after listening to it for a while, Ebony still couldn't grasp the relationship between this book and the strange troops, and heard that it was dark. Ebony asked Su Qing to stop, he took the book and quickly flipped through it, and finally saw a picture. The man above was wearing armor similar to that of the Odd Troop: "Just read here." ”

The motif is a Roman soldier, but of course these eccentric soldiers are not Romans. To be precise, they are the descendants of the Macedonians, whose ancestors went on an expedition to India with Alexander the Great, and when Alexander the Great died, his territory was divided into several countries, and the Seleucid Empire remained on the edge of India.

These strange soldiers were actually the forces that the Seleucid Empire had placed in the Indian colonies, but India fought back, and the troops were outnumbered and had to flee India, all the way east over the mountains and deserts.

However, Macedonia and Rome all belong to the Greek civilization, so the armament and equipment are almost the same. It's just that now Rome is mainly a square shield, while Seleucus is still a round shield, and the difference is still obvious.

After listening to it, Ebony finally knew what to do, he asked Su Qing to go down, and he was ready to rest. The next day, Su Qing continued to read, although he still felt that everything in the book was fake, but the more he read, the more shaken he became.

After two days and a lot of reading, Ebony finally decided to go to Creon. Creon was the leader of this Seleucid army, and now fights for Touman in return for his kindness.

Ebony had met Creon and knew that he had learned the Hun dialect, so he got straight to the point.

Creon and his army had their own camp, small but neat, and they were professional troops, unlike the Huns, who also made cameo appearances as robbers.

Creon didn't know the purpose of Ebon's visit, and although they had met, they had never communicated. In Creon's mind, Ebony is a terrible man, always fond of robbing and stripping off his enemies to humiliate them.

"That's you. "Ebony showed Creon the motif of the 'Roman soldier' in the book.

Creon froze at once, he never dreamed that he could see a picture of a Mediterranean soldier here, and although the Mediterranean was still far from Seleucus, there were no deserts or snow-capped mountains. From the Mediterranean to Seleucus and Seleucus to the Huns, the two sections of the road are simply the distinction between heaven and hell.

"Are you Romans?" Ebony continued.

"You know Rome?" Rome was transliterated, so Creon was immediately excited, Rome was an enemy of Macedonia, but now hearing the name of the enemy, Creon was also very happy.

"Of course, it's all in the book, and it took me two days to get my slave to read it. It's so interesting, we can get to Rome by boat around India, it's incredible, it only takes a few months to get back and forth. ”

"Do you know India? It's all recorded in this book?" Creon heard that India was not calm at all, they were driven here by the Indian people.

"Of course, it is recorded in the book, and they also say that there is a Mauryan Empire in India that is very powerful, not weaker than Great Qin. Ebony said, "It seems that you really came from there." ”

"I'm not a Roman, I'm a Seleucian, but it's a place. Creon said, "This is really a record of Rome, and it says that you can go to Rome by sea?"

"That's right, the book says that the world is a big bathtub, all the land is soaked in the sea, and all the sea is open. Ebony said: "It's really incredible, I didn't expect Qin to have developed to this point." "This is a feeling, sincerely, although Ebony is a real Qin person, he didn't expect that the Qin State would have a fleet to go so far.

Creon froze again, he himself had no way home, and he did not expect that the enemies of the Huns had approached his homeland infinitely from the sea. Then if you also take a boat, go to Rome first, and then go back to Seleucus, it is not impossible.

As soon as he had this thought, Creon couldn't help but tremble. But Qin is the enemy of the Xiongnu, and now he is helping the Xiongnu, it is impossible to get the help of Qin, thinking of this, Leon was like being poured cold water, and instantly calmed down.

Ebony kept observing, and then continued: "The book also says that the Romans who will build the city wall have arrived in Daqin, and this time Daqin is likely to come to build the Great Wall, maybe you can meet, if the Romans are captured, you may be able to talk." ”

Creon didn't react, not knowing what he was thinking.
