In front of the Imperial Palace of Constantinople, two Oriental faces came.

One of them is a child, and the other is a middle-aged man.

The child suddenly took out a letter of greeting, stepped forward and said to the palace guards: "This general, His Majesty Zhao Huan, Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, came to Constantinople to visit His Majesty the Emperor John Twentieth of your country. ”

The guard couldn't understand what Yue Yun was saying, but he took it and looked at it, and found that it was written in Chinese and Greek.

After reading it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Great Song? Why did the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty bring a child to our Byzantium? Is it a fugitive? The guard muttered to himself.

He still knew the name of Da Song, and knew that it was a distant eastern country, but he didn't know more things.

Therefore, the guard immediately said proudly: "Since the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has come to our empire for refuge, then wait for a while, and when the general reports to the palace, please rest here." ”

The guard took Ming Jian and Yue Yun to a hut, sent someone to look at the door, and then ran away.

Of course, Ming Jian and Yue Yun couldn't understand his words, otherwise, they would definitely have to go crazy and take refuge? Lao Tzu is here to solve the problem for you, okay?

This time, at least for an hour, Constantinople was still quite large.

An hour later, the guard arrived with a Byzantine official who looked like an old man.

The old man has a mouth, not bad, he can actually speak Chinese, but he is a little half-baked.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, this official is the deacon of the Byzantine Empire, Uliwei, I heard that your Great Song Dynasty just fought with the Jurchens in the north a few years ago, and even the country was broken, I wonder if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty came to my Byzantine Empire, did he come to take refuge?"

Ming Jian secretly thought that this person should be the foreign minister of the Byzantine Empire, but listening to his meaning, it seems that he still looks down on the Great Song Dynasty a little.

Thinking about it again, I am taking the liberty to visit, but it is reasonable to say that the other party is not clear about his thoughts and the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is understandable to have such an attitude.

Thinking of this, Ming Jian said: "Your Excellency the Chief Deacon, I came today, but I am not taking refuge, now the Great Song Dynasty has been freed from the invasion of the Jurchens, and the national strength has recovered, and it is very strong. I have come here for the purpose of forming an alliance with the Byzantine Empire and developing together, and I wonder if Your Excellency the Deacon can inform the Emperor of your country at once? ”

Listening to Ming Jian's words, Uliwei was stunned, he secretly thought that this emperor came single-handedly with a child, it was very similar to fleeing? But looking at Ming Jian's temperament, U Liwei still felt that Ming Jian was not lying, he was also a big man, and he was still very accurate in looking at people, and the people who fled definitely did not have such a calm spirit, and then carefully looked at Ming Jian's temperament, a powerful murderous aura emanated from Ming Jian's body!

Looking at Yue Yun next to him, he was also full of murderous aura!

Uliwei couldn't help but be shocked: "It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is here to help Byzantium, please come with the foreign minister, and the foreign minister will recommend His Majesty to meet our emperor!" This squire, come along, too. ”

Ming Jian immediately regained his calm expression and said, "Your Excellency is so tired." ”

Following Ulivi for a while, Ming Jian also took a look at the situation of the palace in Constantinople, this palace is really brilliant, higher than his current palace, it seems that the emperor of the Byzantine Empire knows how to enjoy it.

After a round of twists and turns, Ming Jian came to a palace.

Uliwei said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please take a moment, and the foreign minister will go and ask our Emperor to come out." ”

"There is labor!" As soon as Ming Jian raised his hand, he sat down on a chair unceremoniously. And casually ordered Yue Yun to sit down: "Ying Xiang, sit down." ”

After a short walk, Ulevi saw a Byzantine, much older than himself, enter through the side door, and Ulevi followed him.

When they came closer, the two glanced at each other, and Ming Jian smiled: "This must be the Byzantine Emperor John II, right?" Your Excellency is older than me, oh, older than below, how about calling you big brother below? Under is the Great Song Emperor Zhao Huan, Your Excellency can be called under the name. ”

When the two emperors meet, you can't call me [I], I will also call me [I], and getting closer to the title is more conducive to winning over the relationship.

As soon as Uliwei translated, the man came up with a hearty smile, took Ming Jian's hand, and said, "Welcome to the Great Song Emperor's visit, even so, then I will trespass." Come on, sit down and talk, my brother is far away, why only bring one guard? ”

After understanding John II's words, Ming Jian also sat down calmly and said with a smile: "Brother John, this visit is purely accidental. Truth be told, this next time I will travel all the way to explore the customs of various countries, and with all due respect, the situation in the Byzantine Empire does not seem to be good. ”

After John II understood, he smiled and said, "Why did Brother Zhao Huan say this? ”

"Brother John, on the next journey, I found that the Seljuk Turks were a very great threat to the Byzantine Empire, and with the invasion of the Germans and Normans, your country must be miserable, right? If Brother John is trustworthy and willing to help your country get rid of these predicaments, the Byzantine Empire and the Great Song Dynasty became friendly countries and destroyed the Seljuks, and the Great Song Dynasty is also willing to help the Byzantine Empire defeat the Germans and Normans and rebuild its former glory, I wonder if Brother John believes me? Ming Jian began to speak in a beaming manner.

John II nodded slightly, but he still asked: "Indeed, as my brother said, my Byzantine Empire is now invaded by foreign enemies, and it is not a small difficulty. But I don't know what the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is, so why don't you talk about it in detail, how can our two countries join forces to deal with the Seljuks, Germans and Normans? ”

Ming Jian nodded and said, "Brother John, Your Excellency Uliwei, I am offended, please look!" ”

As he spoke, Ming Jian took out a Pu knife and a cross crossbow from the dungeon space, and then took out a Lianzhu Fire Hammer, and then later, the three fierce beasts of Zhao Hu, Zhao Mastiff and Zhao Xiong were also taken out.

John II was suddenly frightened and was about to scream, but Uliwei gently pulled him, shook his head at him, and then said to Ming Jian: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really a god, how did you do this?" What kind of supernatural powers are these? ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "These three fierce beasts are pets below, and their strength is infinite. This is the simple knife of the Great Song Dynasty, which is extremely hard and sharpens iron like clay. This is the cross crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, with a range of more than 500 meters. This is the Great Song Dynasty's Continuous Flame Gun, which can continuously fire lead bullets to shoot enemies. Brother John, I'll give you a demo below! ”

Ming Jian asked John II to come out with a Byzantine Empire weapon, and John II was ignorant and ordered someone to take a Byzantine long sword out.

"Brother John, let the two of them take their respective weapons and slash each other." Ming Jian said.

"Okay, good, my brother also wants to see the magic weapons of the Great Song Dynasty." John laughed, and then ordered the guard to take the long sword and slash at Yue Yun.

With a 'click', the Byzantine long sword broke in two, and the guard was also shocked by Yue Yun's strength and fell to the ground.

John II cried out: "Good, good! Brother, your magic weapon is really powerful, haha, I believe it, brother, your Great Song Dynasty is indeed very strong, hurry up, send a batch to my brother, brother, I will pay a lot of money! ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "Brother has a request, and he naturally agrees to be a brother, and then look at the crossbow, let's go, go to the school field, so that we can see its power!" ”

John II nodded in agreement, and the group soon arrived in the backyard of the palace, where there was a shooting range.

Looking at the distance, it should be only 400 meters.

Ming Jian motioned to move the target to the farthest away, then raised his hand to aim and launched.

With a 'whoosh', the steel needle flew out, shot through the target, and flew out again, directly into the wall of the shooting range.

The Byzantines present were stunned one by one!
