Chapter 155: Western Heavenly Affairs
Even Dao Lao began to worry, and said: "Although Titus is witty and not stage frightened, he is upright in his heart and verbose in words, and I am afraid that he will show his feet on a whim." ”
"It's just that there is no better way, if we don't find out the number and cultivation of immortal cultivators in the palace, I'm afraid that we will be threatened even more. Zhang Bai said suspiciously.
"Then it's better to summon Mu Jing, let's join forces together, and then lay down Peshawar first. "Nanhua is not good at the art of war, he can usually be calm, but when he encounters this kind of occasion where the enemy is weak and strong, his bull temper will come up.
"Don't be like this, don't be impatient, it's not a trivial matter for Mu Jing to pretend to be the king. If you think about it, if the throne is empty, Parthia, which has just settled down, will inevitably be in turmoil, and it is not a good idea to press the gourd and float the scoop. ”
"Mu Jing is very concerned about this place in Parthia, I think it is better to send the king and princess to Ctesiphon and call Mu Jing now, how about that?" Yu Ji suggested.
When Zhang Bai heard this, he felt that this was an idea, whether Mu Jing came or not! King Aldaban V and Princess Tolan were not only dangerous here, but also Zhang Bai had to assign people to protect them, which was very cumbersome.
Besides, the king's trip was originally to inquire about the princess's situation, and now that these two people are tired of being together every day, it seems that the purpose has been achieved. It is indeed more suitable to send it to the palace of Ctesiphon, and the princess is weak, and it will be a trouble in case she suffers from illness again.
"Uncle Shi is very worried, then use the zero number first to send the king and the princess back! But there is one thing, the king should reveal his identity to the princess, how about this matter to the master?"
"Okay! I'm done this month. Nanhua laughed heartily, and everyone was happy.
After laughing, Zhang Bai said solemnly: "After Zero leaves, I shouldn't wait." Since everyone thinks it's dangerous to let Titus into the palace, let's not move for now. In a different direction, I would like to inquire about the state of the Roman envoys. ”
"Roman envoys, I know about this, they are coming to visit me, and the name of the envoy is... Alexander, I remember, this person seems to be cultivated, but deliberately hidden. ”
"The Roman envoy is a monk?" Zhang Bai was startled, he had a vague premonition, but it was vague.
"That's right, but it's not unusual, there have always been monks cultivating immortals in the Roman territories, although I don't know much about the specifics, but I've heard some rumors. ”
"In the Eastern Prince's Palace, there was a Roman back then, do you know?" asked Zhang Bai.
"There are Romans in the Eastern Prince's Palace? I don't know, is it a disciple? or a visitor? It doesn't have to be an elder, right?"
"It turned out that he was indeed a disciple, and he was also a genius, only four years older than me. But he has surpassed all the core disciples and became an elder more than two years ago. In terms of cultivation, it is said that a year ago he was already a god of consummation. ”
"Transformation of the gods, and such a young age is an elder?" Without waiting for Nanhua to answer, Yu Ji was also shocked, you must know that at Yu Ji's age, he is currently only refining the Void Realm Consummation, and he has been stuck in this realm for many years without progress. Now when I hear that someone has entered the consummation of the gods at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and is only one realm away from himself, I can't help but sigh secretly in my heart.
"Yes, uncle, but this man became an elder for another reason, because he was a Roman prince. His name is Lu Weisa, but this is a Chinese name, and I don't know what his Roman name is. ”
"What are the princes of Rome doing in the Eastern Prince's Palace, don't they have immortal cultivators in Rome? Could it be that there is another hidden secret?" Nanhua was puzzled.
"The disciple and Lu Weisa got along quite well at that time, and between the words and conversations, I felt that it was because of the succession to the throne. Lu Weisa was the youngest son, and his elder brother practiced in Jerusalem and succeeded to the throne. He was sent out of Rome to the Kunlun Mountains, where the mountains and rivers were far away. ”
"I see!" Nanhua and Yu Ji suddenly realized. The brother fought for the throne, and the elder brother won, and it was polite not to kill the younger brother. Looking at what Cao Pi did to Cao Zhi, he could be sent away far away, which can be regarded as leaving his younger brother with dignity and life.
"This Roman envoy can see him again, and at that time, as a national teacher, I casually met with him, and I didn't talk about anything. This person is indeed a young man, and if his cultivation is concealed so perfectly, it is obviously not simple, probably because I have lost my eyes. ”
"But do you want to find out about this envoy just to catch up on the past?" Yu Ji asked suddenly.
"No, now that the situation is critical, where do I have this leisure. You might as well think about it, if the Roman envoy is really Lu Weisa, then what is the intention of a Roman prince who has become a god and is stationed in Peshawar as an envoy?"
Yu Ji and Nanhua were both asked, and there was silence for a while in the transmission, and Yu Ji said: "It's hard to guess!"
"Actually, it's not so difficult to guess, the master and uncle are all upright people, so it is naturally difficult to guess the conspiracy of politicians. ”
Zhang Bai said, "Rome is a slave country, and the economy of the whole country is pressed on slaves, but Rome's own free people cannot be enslaved in large numbers, which will deplete the source of soldiers in the army."
Therefore, the expansion of Rome was essentially to rob the population and slaves, to brutally oppress them, and they were not tired of this wealth, so the empire expanded into nature. However, it is impossible to win all wars, so business is also a way to make a fortune as a last resort. ”
He added: "Parthia is bordered by Rome to the west, the desert and the sea to the south, the impassable Caucasus Mountains to the north, and the Indian subcontinent to the east. It just stopped the Roman expedition to India and the ambition of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, as well as the Roman trade routes. ”
Parthia was now divided into north and south, the south was part of the Sassanids, and the north was internally unstable, and Rome would not have turned a blind eye to it. The goal was to completely conquer the rich Seleucia, open trade routes and obtain slaves. ”
"In view of this goal, it is really not necessary to send an envoy to Parthia, so the Kushan who came to the east of Parthia is obviously to unite the Kushan and attack Parthia from behind. His Majesty Vesudeva II is scheming and will naturally not fall for the Romans, but the crown prince is likely to be fooled. The Peshawar court accident must be inseparable from Rome. ”
"The only thing that the disciple can't know for sure is the Shilong Daoist, his arrival is really unexpected, I hope to find out what his purpose is by investigating the Roman envoy?"
Zhang Bai was talking a lot, and he was listening to Nanhua and Yu Ji's heart, but unexpectedly, a person suddenly spoke up and said: "Three adults, I also know a place, you can not go to the palace, and still get news from the palace." ”
It was Hetri who spoke, and he continued: "At noon to-day, a local nobleman named Rahsega, who is said to be the patriarch of the Sega family, came to buy a clock, and I thought it was an opportunity. ”
