Sure enough, after dawn the next day, the Romans outside the city withdrew.

The caliph came to Xu Ding in high spirits.

"Good news for General Qin, really good news!"

Xu Ding said: "General Caliph, the Romans have retreated?" ”

The caliph nodded, and Xu Ding said, "This is what you expected, so it won't make you so happy." ”

After learning about the Caliph, Xu Ding knew that this guy was a cold person on the surface, but he was actually a sullen type of person in his heart.

Harry laughed and said: "Sure enough, it can't be hidden from General Qin, although the retreat of the Romans is good news, it is indeed not worth being too excited, I am excited that our Emperor His Majesty has sent troops, he went to Osroina and Aditya Bena, these two vassals belong to us to rest in peace."

His Majesty also wanted to attack Syria and drive the Romans north back to Cilicia.

So he agreed to cooperate with you and sent my sister back from the imperial capital. ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Your country has taken Osroina and Aditya Bena in one fell swoop, and now the Romans should feel distressed. "The rest is also in place, this is the best news, but Xu Ding is sure that the land that Vologasis V has now swallowed will soon be taken back by the Romans.

The strength of the Roman army was much stronger than that of Sabbat.

Rest has the rhythm of being pressed and rubbed on the ground at any time.

Although Rest was one of the four great empires during this period, it was on a par with the Han, Roman, and Kushan.

However, his loose political system is destined to be the most fragile.

History is one of the first four empires to be destroyed, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that it will not be more than a few decades, and it was pushed off by your own younger brother.

As for which little brother it is, Xu Ding doesn't know.

"Rejoice! Rejoice! The Caliph had a rare look of joy on his face, and his eyes changed greatly when he looked at Xu Ding, a little fiery and cordial.

Xu Ding also noticed this, and then pondered the words of the caliph just now.

Puzzled, he asked, "General Caliph, I congratulate you for a reason, what is the reason for you to congratulate me?" ”

Harry laughed and said, "Qin, didn't you listen to me just now, did His Majesty the Emperor send my sister back?" ”

"What does it matter?" Xu Ding is even more incomprehensible, whether your sister comes back or not has something to do with me.

The caliph showed an expression that all men understand: "Qin, you will be my brother-in-law in the future, with a brother-in-law like you, our Hatra City will be even stronger." Do you know that my sister was originally going to stay in the imperial capital as a marriage, but His Majesty the Emperor considered your importance and the special friendship between you and us Hatra, so let my sister come back, she can exist as your wife, so that there will be no hindrance to the communication between us, and we are a family. ”

"Ahem...... You mean, your emperor asked your sister to marry me! "Xu Ding now completely understands, isn't this still using your sister's marriage as a political bargaining chip? This Emperor Vologasis V is also a wonder.

You use your own daughter and the minister's sister to win you over, do you look up to me, or look down on me.

The caliph nodded and said, "That's right, Qin, you will be my brother-in-law in the future!" ”

"It's not! Caliph, you don't have any opinion? Xu Ding finally knew why this guy was so happy, and his feelings were that he had found foreign aid from his big tree, and the position of the caliphate family in the future would be more stable and strong.

The caliph said: "What is the opinion on this, Qin, you are so strong, your cavalry is even more powerful than our Hatra, I still have a lot to learn from you, I hope that after you arrive in Armenia, don't forget the city of Hatra." ”

Xu Ding inexplicably had an extra fiancée, and she had never even met in person.

The key is that you can't refuse yet, no matter what the hell Emperor Vologasis V has in mind, this can be regarded as a kind of intersection with the Rest Empire.

With the caliph's sister, there is a foundation for cooperation between them.

If he refused, not only would the Rest Empire not believe him, but the city of Hatra, led by the Caliph, would also not dare to cooperate deeply.

Fortunately, after meeting the caliph's sister Ajman, Xu Ding had no power to resist.

Because Ajman is a standard Sabbath beauty.

Wheat skin, graceful figure, tall man, charming eyes, Aryan face.

It can't be said that the city is alluring, but it is absolutely gorgeous, and it has a beautiful charm, which is very different from the femme fatale.

Because Ajman has a lively and free personality, he is very different from the more introverted women of the Rest Empire.

Ajman enjoys horseback riding and sword dancing.

At the first glance of Xu Ding, the caliph said directly: "General Qin, I heard my brother say that you are very strong and brave, so draw your sword!" ”

Seeing the other party draw his sword, Xu Ding smiled: "You want to fight with me!"

Ajman waved his sword, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Isn't this obvious!" ”

"Obviously, obviously, but why should I fight you? I have never beaten women......" Xu Ding shook his head slightly.

Aji Manjiao shouted: "You can only get me if you beat me, but if you can't beat me, you will break the marriage contract with Your Majesty and my brother." ”

"I'm sorry, if you don't want to marry, then you still have to marry, because you really can't beat me, even if I don't use weapons, you can't beat me if I don't fight back." Xu Ding knew that this Ajman was now a girl's heart, and naively thought that he could dissolve this marriage if he persuaded himself.

Although Xu Ding also dislikes this thing, the beauty is good-looking, and it is a win-win situation, and sometimes he really does not refuse.

If the body is in the Great Han, he will be restrained.

But this is the West, this is a doppelganger, of course, people follow the customs, indulge in songs, and don't send the beauties to the door in vain.

This is also the reason why he would flirt with femme fatales frivolously when he was in Rome.

It's so angry!

What do I mean I have to marry if I don't want to, what do I say I don't use weapons, and you can't fight if I don't fight back.

Ajman was really angry in his heart, and shouted: "This is what you said, then I am not allowed to fight back if I beat you, and you will lose if you fight back." ”

"Of course, not only will I not fight back, but I can also tell you that as long as you can hurt me, or hurt my clothes, you win." Xu Ding curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and this time Ajman couldn't restrain himself anymore, and rushed with a sword.

Ajman's sword was thin, but it was also fast, and the flowing blade of the sword stabbed into Xu Ding's chest, as if he wanted to kill Xu Ding with the sword and attack him.

However, Xu Ding only took a few steps and stepped back, equally elegant.

Ajman was stunned for a moment, how could this person retreat like this, so he turned his sword and continued to stab forward.

Xu Ding retreated aimlessly, floating back like an immortal.

Ajman chased after him a little, and found that the blade of the sword was always a palm's width away from Xu Ding's chest.

It's impossible to advance at all, so I couldn't help but be annoyed: "Why are you like this, if you always retreat, there will be nothing else." ”

"Yes!" Xu Ding smiled slightly, the little girl was really crying, and the feeling of not being able to catch up really made people desperate, so he stopped at dusk, and then flashed to the side.

Ajman was overjoyed, swung his sword and slashed away, Xu Ding dodged left and right, Ajman continued to speed up, and took out his strongest posture.

As a result, he didn't hit Xu Ding at all, and he didn't even get his clothes touched.

On the contrary, he was a little tired from fighting, Xu Ding reached out and hit his wrist, and then took the opportunity to pick off her hair ornament with his hand.

"Hmph, bastard, you take my stuff!" Aji Manjiao shouted and rushed over again.

Xu Ding easily dodged, turned behind her, patted her shoulder lightly and said, "You are all mine, a hair ornament, I can take it off, or I can help you carry it again." ”

"Hmph, I haven't promised to marry you yet, all mine is mine, it's all mine, give it back to me, if you can put it back on for me, I'll marry you." Ajman said with a wit.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ding leaned over and gently inserted it in him, and the hair ornament returned to its original position.

"This is the little beauty you are talking about." Xu Ding didn't leave with a blow this time, but looked at Ajman, staring at her eyes tenderly.

Ajman lowered his head slightly shyly, then reached out and grabbed Xu Ding's waist, and then showed a sly look and smiled: "Now you can't run away, in the end, I won." ”

Ajman raised slightly.

But the next moment, Xu Ding opened his mouth and gently pecked her small mouth.

"Little beauty, you have won, because you have successfully won my heart."

"You...... You ......"

"Don't talk, listen to my heartbeat, whether it's accelerating, whether it belongs to you now."

"I ......" Ajman has also seen a lot of gentlemen in the imperial capital, but it is the first time he has seen such a shameful and flirtatious person.

The key is that he really can't beat him, and he can't even touch him.

"Please look me in the eyes, don't blink, because every time you blink, you will love me a little deeper, don't ......blink" Xu Dingfu leaned down, slowly leaning his face down.

Ajman didn't know whether to listen to Xu Ding or not, whether I should blink or not.

Just as she was struggling, her lips were gagged again............

When the rebels were recuperating in Hatra, Xu Ding used his doppelganger to live a shameless life with Ajman, and browsed the nearby places of interest and scenery.

During this period, the caliph helped Xu Ding buy a large number of war horses, of course, the money was spent by the rebel army, after all, such a large amount of expenses, even if he was the eldest brother, he couldn't take it out.

At the same time, he also sent craftsmen to learn to make saddles and stirrups, and at the same time helped the rebels to arm a large number of equipment, he also learned all the skills, and when Xu Ding's troops left, he himself also mounted a large number of these equipment.

"Qin take care of my sister, report a message when you get there, remember to contact me if you need help." The rebels were leaving, and the caliph led his troops out of the city to see them off in person.

I secretly praised in my heart, Alexander Qin is a real man, a promise, and this ally is worth handing.

"Don't worry, Caliph, Ajman is so beautiful, I will definitely treat her well, and we will come to Hatra when we have the chance." Xu Ding and the caliph hugged each other goodbye, and said before leaving: "The caliph has a sentence that I still want to say, the situation of the Rest Empire is not optimistic, I think your emperor is not an opponent of the Romans, I hope you will develop it quickly, and strive to develop Hatra better, by the way, you are not like to be on par with the kingdom of Arshak." ”

The Arshak kingdom, also known as the Arshak dynasty, was now part of the Sask Empire, which controlled the eastern part of Armenia and the western Armenia division.

Do you want to make the caliphate king if you look up to the kingdom of Al Shaq?

Ignoring the Caliph's momentary stunnedness, Xu Ding turned and mounted his horse, leading Ajman eastward.

Ajman turned around and gave his brother Harry a flying kiss and shouted, "Brother is seeing ......!" ”

Harry stretched out his hand to say goodbye to his sister, and his eyes lit up with envy as he watched the army of 10,000 horsemen and 10,000 foot soldiers march forward.

What a blessing it is that Alexander Qin can fight for the ideals of rest, and resolutely embark on an unknown journey with his army.

The risks are high, but the rewards are certainly great.

Don't look at his Hatra is very comfortable, but it is not easy to really develop around, and it is a great nobleman who is divided outside the Rest Empire, and everything has to be rules.

It's not that anyone's fist is big enough to swallow up others, after all, the emperor of the imperial capital doesn't want to see a tiger growing around him.

A courtier is a courtier, and he will be held hostage to some extent, where is there as chic and free as Alexander Qin.

Hit whoever you want, bully whoever you want, and cooperate with whoever you want.

Although Xu Ding had 10,000 horses, not all of them were cavalry, although they were all equipped with saddles and stirrups, and all the gold and silver coins captured along the way were spent.

But the purpose was only to facilitate the march, so that the foot soldiers could mount their horses and go faster.

It's not a good idea to convert all foot soldiers into cavalry, but with horses, the mobility of foot soldiers can change dramatically.

The mighty army marched east for three days, and then north.

With the passage order of the Emperor of Rest, no one in the city of Rest who passed by dared to fight the rebel army in the future.

"Ding! Congratulations to the master for completing the task of defeating the Roman army three times and breaking out of the encirclement, and now reward a suspended city. ”

Xiao Wu's voice finally rang out, and the months-long trek finally paid off.

"Xiao Wu, you said that the reward for the suspension city is a block, what is this city like?"

Just hearing the name Levitation City gives me a magical power.

Xiao Wudao: "Master, it's literal, it's the same as you think, this is a floating city, with a circumference of 14 kilometers and an area of 12 square kilometers."

The city wall is divided into the inner and outer city, the outer city is eleven zhang high and one foot eight, nine zhang thick, and is made of pure granite.

The inner city is 12 zhang 2 feet 8 high, 4 zhang thick, and is also made of pure granite.

There is a high mountain in the city, there are ponds in the four cities, eight rivers, a number of houses, four barracks, two large and four small ordnance warehouses, the city lord's mansion is coiled around the mountain, you can look at the four directions from a high position, you can see the scenery of the whole city at a glance, and the forest coverage rate in the city is 88 percent......"
