Prince Antony of Persia, who personally led the mission to the East, was not only the younger brother of the king of Persia, but also the commander of an empire.

He is in his forties this year, but he has more than 20 years of battlefield experience. As the right-hand man of the king of Persia, he was given the scimitar of the stars and moon, which symbolized the glory of the empire. In the Persian royal court, he was a very important figure.

This man is not only brave in battle, but also resourceful. It is precisely because of this that the king of Persia chose him as the forerunner of the exploration of the East, and led this team of several hundred people to the distant Han Dynasty.

Since leaving the Persian sphere of influence, Antony has begun to observe the geography and customs of the mountains and rivers along the way in detail, so that he can know it by heart. Those countries in the Western Regions did not have anything, in his opinion, as long as the Persian cavalry was everywhere, they could sweep through, and there were not many opponents worth paying attention to.

It wasn't until they crossed the Yumen Pass and actually entered the territory of the Han Dynasty that Anthony and all the Persians were surprised to find that the situation of the Han Dynasty was completely different from the countries they had seen along the way.

The news brought back by the Persian merchants is not exaggerated at all. The prosperity and abundance of this country, as they legend it goes, feels so incredible. And the further east you go, the stronger this feeling becomes. It wasn't until they arrived in Chang'an and finally saw this majestic imperial capital that the shock they felt in everyone's hearts was incomparable.

If compared with Chang'an City, Babylon, the royal city that all Persians are proud of, is nothing more than a fortress made of stone.

Prince Antony, while feeling infinitely disappointed, felt that the decision of the King of Persia was extremely correct. It was very necessary for the great Persian dynasty to carry out the crusade to the east, and the vast mountains and rivers and rich lands of the eastern world were waiting for a true king of the world!

During his time in Chang'an, he also carefully observed the specific situation of the Han Dynasty army. Those well-armored and well-armed Han Dynasty cavalry seemed to have some combat ability. But he had great confidence that if his Persian warriors met them on the battlefield and charged against them, the Han Dynasty would definitely not be an opponent.

All the Persian warriors were loyal to the great Persian king alone. As long as his sword was pointing in the direction, no matter whether there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him or the sky and the earth were shattering, the samurai would only advance bravely, and no one would blink an eye. This is the Persian dynasty's all-conquering power to dominate the entire Western world!

It is precisely because of such confidence and strong backing that all Persians in Chang'an appear to be extremely arrogant. They were treated as guests, and the officials of the Han Dynasty were hospitable and attentive. There are cars in and out, and the meals are exquisite. If it weren't for his mission, Prince Anthony would have liked to stay here for a long time.

It's just that his good mood was completely ended more than an hour ago.

Nineteen Persian warriors, including the Persian prince, were all sent back with an arm cut off on Chang'an Avenue and sent back with blood.

Prince Anthony was shocked and furious. After inspecting everyone's injuries himself, he listened to the samurai's recounting of the tragic experience, and at the same time he had already shouted loudly for all the personnel to be armed and ready!

More than 500 members of the mission, once armed, are a group of cavalry warriors who can charge and kill the enemy. With such a force in their hands, the Persians could fight against anyone without fear.

Antony, one of several famous marshals in the Persian court, once set a record for leading 300 warriors to slaughter a country. In his eyes, as long as he jumped on horseback with a scimitar in his hand, no opponent could survive under his horse's hooves!

It's time to give the Han Dynasty a great look. Not to mention that they hurt the Persian prince, even if they neglected the members of the mission a little, it would be unforgivable. The reason why I haven't shown a bit of a sharp edge for so long is just to take a more comprehensive look at the general situation of the Han Dynasty. Now, a rare opportunity to show off is in front of you, and when will you wait if you don't take the opportunity!

The pride of the world is a good quality. It can not only cultivate a noble heart, but also make people outstanding and extraordinary. But at the same time, it is one of the worst qualities, it can blind people's eyes and make people mistakenly believe that everything in this world is dust under the sword, and they can control everything with a wave of their hand!

Prince Anthony was proud. Ever since he rode on horseback as a teenager and slashed his first enemy with his own hands, his journey on the battlefield has been one of victory, victory, and victory! All the enemies fled under his banner, and his prestige spread throughout the West, and the Star and Moon Treasure Sword in his hand absolutely did not allow the slightest insult.

The humiliation brought by the people of the Han Dynasty must be repaid with ten times the blood. This is Prince Anthony's bottom line!

The bravado of the Persian warriors crossed the wide Suzaku Street on horseback, the horses' hooves trampled on the damp streets, and the blue bricks of the Qin and Han dynasties were exceptionally hard.

It is very strange that there was no one to stop them along the way, and the people of Chang'an who did not know why dodged the road and watched on both sides of the street. The Persian warriors felt the slightly fearful gazes, and the arrogance in their hearts was even more insignificant. This somewhat benevolent and weak Oriental nation does not deserve much attention. In the near future, the day of the Persian army's crusade will be the time of their submission!

At the end of Suzaku Street is the majestic palace. In front of the Suzaku Gate of Weiyang Palace, there is a wide square. When the palace gate was wide open, the Yulin army of the Han Dynasty appeared, and a group of people came out and waited quietly there.

Faced with the sharpness of the crossbow arrows in their hands after the two Han cavalry lined up in formation, the Persians stopped advancing. An official from the Han Dynasty came over and asked Prince Anthony what he was here for.

"Please hand over the murderer of the Great Han Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor...... We demand a fair account! ”

The leader of the Persian warriors shouted loudly in place of Prince Antony. The whole square could be heard. The Han Dynasty official just said with a blank face.

"His Majesty the Emperor is not available. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country. ”

"That's good! Let your prince give us an explanation! ”

So, a moment later, Prince Anthony met Liu Ju, the prince of the Han Dynasty who came out of the Suzaku Gate.

There is no need to go into details, both sides understand what is most important now. After a few words of conversation, seeing that the prince of the Han Dynasty looked noncommittal, Anthony's anger rose, and his attitude became even tougher.

"Where is the murderer who struck my Persian prince? Your Highness should hand them over immediately...... Otherwise, if it leads to more serious consequences, I will not blame my subordinates for being reckless! ”

Such an undisguised threat was at the gate of the dignified Han Palace, which immediately aroused the anger of many people. Even Liu Quyak and others, who originally planned to sit by and watch the excitement, were a little dissatisfied in their hearts. The Persians came to Yuan Zhao for trouble, and they couldn't ask for it, but if it insulted the majesty of the royal family, it would be unacceptable.

"The Persians are very rampant...... Hehe! Since you have said so, then I would also like to warn you that the consequences that may be incurred by virtue of your disrespectful remarks just now are also self-inflicted! ”

There was a person next to the prince, and the young figure was not wearing an official uniform, but he couldn't see what his identity was. He glanced at the Persian cavalry flying not far away, and then said a stern word to Antony, who was looking him up and down.

"Also, I forgot to tell you that the square in front of the Suzaku Gate is not allowed to carry troops on horseback. For the sake of the savage ignorance of you foreigners, for the first time I can give a warning. Now you can go and ask them to put down their scimitars and line up to accept the command of the Great Han Feather Forest Army. You only have one such chance...... Don't be preemptive! ”

What, what? Antony and the Persians who came with him were furious when they understood the meaning of these words. He shouted angrily.

"Who are you? How dare you insult us Persian warriors like this! ”

"I'm the murderer you're looking for...... Yuan Zhao! Who, Anthony, then? If you understand what I'm saying, do it! Whose rules must be obeyed on whose territory, I don't understand such a simple truth? Alas! I don't know what the king of Persia sent you for...... ”

There was a "choking" sound, and Anthony, who was dazed by these words, pulled out the Xingyue scimitar in his hand. He gritted his teeth and pointed at the speaker three feet away, and his anger was irrepressible.

"Yuan Zhao? It turned out to be you...... Good! You are the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am the prince and marshal of Persia, and this status is enough to match! Come, come, come! If you are a man, you will fight with me, and the victory or defeat is up to you, life and death are in heaven! ”

In the Western world, regardless of status, a duel between the two sides and a decision of life and death with the sword in their hands is the easiest way to solve the problem. Anthony was really angry with Yuan Zhao, so he desperately launched a challenge in person.

Just now, all the princes and many ministers who came out of the palace from the Yang Palace, watching a few words of kung fu, were about to fight each other with swords, and they all looked at each other, dumbfounded, and some did not understand why Yuan Zhao deliberately provoked this short-tempered Prince of Persia.

The crown prince Liu Ju was about to speak, but Yuan Zhao shook his head at him slightly. Then he looked back and whispered to Huo Quzhi, who was following closely behind him and wanted to draw his sword and rush out to fight.

"Your opponent is not Anthony...... Go ahead and prepare, and don't let a Persian go later! ”

Huo Quai, who was suddenly excited in his heart, withdrew his long sword. She saw that at the corner of the long street, the familiar figure of the fiery red robe began to flash, and the red fire riders who had been ordered to rush had already arrived. That's her main battlefield!

In front of the wide square of the Vermilion Bird Gate, many people of Chang'an who were watching from a distance and all the ministers and soldiers had their eyes widened. They saw the young Imperial Prime Minister gently harness his robes. How long has it been since he had done it himself?

"Okay, I accept your challenge...... Good luck, Prince Anthony! ”
