Speaking of which, the Romans called Attila, the whip of God, must have been about the same age as His Majesty the Emperor, and he might have been two or three years older, and he also had a large empire. In the Western world, especially the Romans trembled with fear when they heard his name! ”

"But Attila was very fond of many of the Germanic tribes of the northern steppes, whom they called generous and noble allies, who were willing to submit to him and be loyal to him, who paid tribute to him in peacetime, and who sent troops under Attila's command in wartime! After the victory, Attila will generously distribute the spoils to the tribes that send troops to participate in the battle! ”

Wan Yutong was obviously very interested in this "Whip of God" Attila, and asked: "Could the Huns you are talking about be the Huns in our northern steppe, and one of them migrated westward about three hundred years ago!" ”

The Persian prince said: "I think it should be, the Huns should be the Huns!" We Persians and Romans call the Oda the White Huns, and the tribes of the Great Moon (Kushan Empire), who are the Red Huns; Whether it is the Huns, or the White Huns, or the Red Huns, they used to be the overlords of the northern steppes of the East! They have all brought destruction and powerful destruction to the Western world, so much so that the Western world is afraid of them! Everywhere they go there is only destruction and killing, they never build! ”

Prince Wen He looked at Belus with a cold face and said, "You obviously have bad intentions when you slander us people like this, I think the wise Emperor Your Majesty will listen to your slander!" ”

"Your Majesty, when we entered the Transoxiana region, Tocharistan was torn apart at that time, and the growing Sassanid Empire attacked them repeatedly, and the Sogdian nobles of Tocharistan were willing to serve us as lords, but they were not willing to serve the Persians as masters, because they understood that once the Persians controlled Tocharostan, they would never have a good life, so they were not willing to be cows for the Persians, and under the rule of our Dhārs, the Sogdians of Tocharistan were now living well, and they still cultivated their land, Do their business, we don't interfere! ”

Zhao Junsheng felt that he couldn't let these two people continue to quarrel, they were both young and vigorous young men, and if they didn't get along, they might fight, so he played a round and said: "Okay, okay, the two princes are not impatient, today is the day when I set up a banquet for the two of them to catch the wind and wash the dust, everyone should be happy!" Come, everyone have a drink together! ”

The envoys of all countries were obviously more interested in Persia, after all, the level of civilization in Persia was much higher than that of the Bada people, and where there was civilization, there were stories and topics.

The Baekje envoy asked, "Prince Belus, I heard that the sword you gave to His Majesty the Emperor was the saber of your ancestor Shapur II, and it took three years for the most famous and skilled blacksmith in Persia to forge it?" ”

Belus was proud when he heard of his ancestors, "Yes, Your Excellency! My ancestor Shapur II was a legend! ”

Wan Yutong was curious: "Oh? Does he have any legendary stories? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Belus saw that everyone was looking at him, and his chatty skills came into play: "My ancestor Shapur II was the greatest statesman and military strategist of his time, and he succeeded to the throne as Emperor of the Sassanid Empire before he was even born!" ”

Wan Yutong was surprised: "His Royal Highness the prince is not joking, how can a person inherit the throne while he is still in his mother's womb?" ”

"But it is true," said Belus, "that his father, Hormizd, was Emperor of Persia at that time, but he was weak and incompetent, and was repeatedly defeated in the confrontation with Rome, and the Persian nobles rebelled in the east and killed him, and then killed the eldest prince, blinded the second prince, and imprisoned the third prince, Shapur II, who was not yet born, was the widow of Emperor Hormizd, the sole heir of the Sassanid dynasty, and the ministers had no choice but to put the crown that symbolized the supremacy of the Persian Empire on his mother's abdomen. And so he succeeded to the throne as emperor! ”

Someone asked, "He wasn't born at the time, who knows if he was male or female?" If you are born as a woman, I am afraid that you will not be able to become an emperor! ”

Belus spread his hands: "This is the legend, he was born a boy, and the Persian subjects were full of joy and celebrated with songs and dances for three days and three nights!" When he was a child, her mother and ministers were in charge of the affairs of the country, and when he grew up, he lived up to expectations, showing great political and military talents, he defeated the Roman Empire several times, causing the Roman Empire to suffer heavy losses, and commanded the army to kill the Roman Emperor Julian in battle, and he led the army to the east to attack the Kushan Empire, all the way to the Green Ridge! ”

Mulan asked, "Since there is Shapur II, is there Shapur I?" ”

Belus smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty! Shapur I was the second emperor of my Sassanid dynasty, the founding emperor Ardashir, who overthrew the Sabbath Empire and inherited all its territory, and he was called the king of kings! Shapur I grew the Sassanid Empire and expanded its territory, and he was called the King of Kings! The cavalry he sent was confronted by the eastward expansion of the Roman Empire in Asia Minor, and that battle opened the prelude to the war between the Sassanid Empire and the Roman Empire, which lasted for more than 200 years! He captured the Roman Emperor Valerian in a battle, which shocked the Roman Empire, and he killed Valerian, peeled off the skin, filled it with straw and hung it at the head of the city, and scared the Romans into not daring to go east for many years! ”

Mulan frowned and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to do this, either kill him; Either release him or imprison him, how can an emperor be so insulted? ”

Belus explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know, that the Romans have always thought highly of themselves and looked down on people from other kingdoms or tribes, so anyone who has defeated the Romans will insult them and trample their dignity under their feet, so that they will put down their dignity and talk to the enemy on an equal footing!" ”

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to Belus, and all the limelight was stolen by Belus, he couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that these feats are all done by you, and no matter how great the glory of the ancestors is, it has become a thing of the past!" ”

Angry, Belus countered: "My ancestors are glorified, but what about your ancestors? I heard that your ancestors were only inferior people who herded horses for their masters! ”

Wen He was furious, "You insulted my ancestors, I will duel with you!" ”

After that, Wen He said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, Belus insulted my ancestors, I can't bear it no matter what, please allow me to duel with him!" ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't cry or laugh, "Third Prince, this doesn't seem appropriate, you are all my guests, it's really not appropriate to draw your sword against each other on this festive day!" If anything goes wrong on either of you, how can I account for it to your father? ”

"No, I must fight him! It's our rule."

Zhao Junsheng's face was a little ugly, this Wen He is too mixed, if you want to sprinkle it, you don't look at the occasion, this is my palace, not your territory!

Belus was also provoked, and he got up and shouted: "Duel is dueling, you think I'm afraid of you!" Your Majesty, I can't tolerate too much deception, otherwise I will be ridiculed as a coward, please allow us to duel! ”

When the national teacher Dongfang Chen saw that Zhao Jun was unable to come to the stage, he hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, since the two princes have agreed to the duel, it is better to be approved!" It's just that the two princes will inevitably end up in person, so it's better to let them each send a samurai to replace them! ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he nodded: "This method is good!" Belus, Wenhe, I will allow you to duel, but you cannot go down in person, you can only send a warrior to take your place! However, I would like to state here that the sword has no eyes, and no matter what happens, even if one side is killed or injured in a duel, the winner cannot be held accountable! ”

"Good!" The two princes agreed in unison.

Belus sent a Persian warrior named Diarus into the field, while Winhe sent a Hinda warrior named Tuba into the field.

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands: "Come on, bring the weapon rack!" ”

Four armorers came carrying a weapon rack, and the weapons were all kinds of weapons, even those of the Western Roman Empire.

Diarus chose a Damascus scimitar, while the knights chose a scimitar of the northern steppe cavalry.

The music stopped, everyone forgot to eat and drink, and looked at the two warriors, Wan Yutong got up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "I can't see the bloody scene, go to the back and rest first!" ”

"Good! Come on, take Suiyangjun down to rest! ”

Two eunuchs and a palace maid left with Wan Yutong and went to the side hall next to them.

As soon as Wan Yutong left, Diarus and Tuba fought, the two of them each brandished a scimitar and slashed, and the exchange of weapons burst out a string of cremations, the scene of the fight was very intense, and the envoys of the countries watched it with relish one by one, and the more the two warriors killed, the more excited they were.

"When", suddenly, Diarus's scimitar was chopped off by Tuba, his face changed greatly, and he retreated again and again to dodge, but where would Tuba give him a chance to breathe, several slashes in a row, Diarus finally couldn't dodge being slashed on the shoulder.

"Ahh With a scream, Diarus fell to the ground screaming, and before the others could shout to stop, Tuba pounced and slashed Diarus's neck, and Diarus twitched a few times and did not move.

The hall was suddenly silent.

Tuba saluted Zhao Junsheng and Mulan, and then saluted his master Wen He.

Wen He laughed: "Hahaha······ Well done Touba, this prince will reward you heavily! ”

Belus's face was ugly, and he got up angrily and shouted, "One more game!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face: "Prince Belus, you have already lost!" This is my banquet hall for VIPs, not your gladiatorial arena! As I said earlier, no matter which side is harmed, you can't be held accountable, do you want to fight against my authority? ”
