Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cause and Effect

Through the translation of the tongue man beside him, the people who stopped him were Caligula, the adopted grandson of Dibilli, and Mark, the captain of the guard. www。 lwχs520。 com For this Caligula, Ouyang Xuan knows this person too well, a famous tyrant in human history. Through the tongue man, Ouyang Xuan knew that he was here to kill Dibillius, although Dibillio is also notoriously brutal in history, but the power of life and death of this person is by no means Caligula's final say. Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly on the horse and said to the tongue man: "Tell him that now Rome is in charge of me for the time being, and it is not the turn of this beast who will not even let go of his own sister."

The tongue man hesitated for a long time before translating Ouyang Xuan's words as they were, looking at the thunderous Caligula, Ouyang Xuan felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart. In Roman City, except for this mental illness, no one who dares to use the army to confront Ouyang Xuan is really rampant to the point of dying. Now the old Dibiliu is still treating his injuries on the warship, and when the injuries are healed, Ouyang Xuan intends to hand them over to the Senate for disposal, provided that they must be under Ouyang Xuan's supervision. And the Caligula and Mark in front of him were what Ouyang Xuan wanted to get rid of the most, and now that he actually sent them to the door himself, of course Ouyang Xuan would not let them go.

Caligula raised his sword in front of the formation, still shouting and scolding. The tongue man was embarrassed there and didn't know if he should translate or not. Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly, and said to the tongue man: "Tell him that if he wants to fight, I will accompany him." Choose your gladiatorial arena for the location." This time, the tongue man did not hesitate to translate Ouyang Xuan's words to the person opposite. Ouyang Xuan and the others finished translating, and took the guards, Roman senators, and officials to ignore Caligula and went straight to the Roman palace.

Here, the Senate prepared a table of banquets and singing and dancing, Ouyang Xuan didn't even look at it, and directly ordered Huang Tingzhong to negotiate with the Elders' House. waved off the singing and dancing artists, Ouyang Xuan had no interest in this kind of performance at all. It is easy not to touch the food in a foreign country, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes, and many emperors in Rome were poisoned. Ouyang Xuan didn't move, but rewarded the black slave who served next to him. With Ouyang Xuan's permission, these slaves took fruits and meals and began to eat right next to them. Looking at the Roman senator and the Roman military commander with an extremely embarrassed face, Ouyang Xuan wanted to laugh. But he still held back, turned around and glanced at the guards beside him, and the guards immediately understood, took out the intercom, and gave the order to enter the city to the Yulin army outside the city in the corner. The black slave died a horrible death, tossing for an hour before he lost signs of life. Ouyang Xuan took out the golden sword that shone with blue light, pointed at the highest commander of the Guards, and did not speak, because they couldn't understand it, and turned to his tongue: "Tell them that I am very angry about this, and the negotiations will be terminated." The tongue man immediately began to translate, before the words fell, Ouyang Xuan had already got up and left his seat, the sword light in his hand flashed, the officer was already in a different place, with Ouyang Xuan's movements, the other guards quickly stepped forward and cleanly killed all the officials and elders present. Almost at the same time, the Yulin army, which had already entered the city, began to attack the Roman garrison. After a short battle, all the resistance in the city was swept away, and Caligula and Mark were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Yulin Army, and the gladiatorial agreement between them was over. The Guards barracks next to the palace were already in flames, and the 5,000-strong Guards were wiped out.

After cleaning up the city of Rome, Ouyang Xuan ordered people to take Dibillius and Claudius to the palace, and in front of the palace square, in front of the residents of Rome, he hanged Dibillius. Through the tongue man, Claudius was announced as the new emperor of Rome, and Ouyang Xuan delegated Huang Tingzhong with full authority to deal with the rest of the matter, and he directly returned to the warship with his guards, he didn't want to stay in this smoky city for another minute, where Ouyang Xuan saw the kind of deceit and insatiable greed of the later generations. Back on the ship, Ouyang Xuan had just finished eating when he sent a report from the guards: Caligula's younger brother Drusus, the commander of the guards outside Rome, asked Caligula to fight Ouyang Xuan on his behalf. The time is tonight, and the venue is in the Roman Colosseum. Originally, Ouyang Xuan was just joking, but he didn't expect the Romans to take it seriously.

Ouyang Xuan was really not afraid of these people in gladiatorial fights, and ordered to set up the gladiatorial arena. Escorted by three thousand guards, Ouyang Xuan rode to the gladiatorial arena wearing only soft armor and camouflage uniforms. The gladiatorial arena of this era was still very rudimentary, located southeast of the city of Rome, and it was not the gladiatorial arena that was built in 72 AD. There is only a rectangular battlefield with wooden stands on the north and south sides, and an iron cage on the west side, which is where the slaves are held. When Ouyang Xuan arrived, the stands were already full of Roman nobles who had come to watch the battle, and the guards arranged a group of guards at strategic points inside and outside the arena in accordance with the wartime escort plan, and could directly control the entire gladiatorial arena.

The torches lit all over the arena had been lit, but Ouyang Xuan never saw Drusus and his guards. It wasn't until the middle palace on the moon, under the light of torches, that Drusus arrived in the gladiatorial arena accompanied by 2,000 guards, but at the same time he brought more than 100 bound Chinese. If he hadn't seen this scene, Ouyang Xuan would have given Drusos a chance to live, but now this scene made Ouyang Xuan angry, jumped up from his seat, came to the center of the field, pointed at Drussos with a blue flashing sword, and said in English: "What do you mean?" ”。“ Honorable Emperor of China, after the duel, these people will be executed here as revenge for you killing my grandfather." After Drussos had said a lot, a tongue man translated loudly.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan laughed and said loudly: "If you don't die, you won't die, you will find death by yourself, and you can't help others." He turned around and made a gesture to the new commander of the guard, saying, "Kill those people and save the countrymen." "No!" , the commander of the guards gave the order to give the order.

Ouyang Xuan stood in the field with a sword in his hand, watching the guards move quickly, occupy a favorable position, and shoot accurately at the guards behind Drussos, thousands of guards had used the fastest speed to use the night to go around behind the guards before the gunshots, and after several rounds of gunfire, as a red signal flare rose into the air, the gunfire stopped abruptly, and the Yulin army behind the guards launched an attack at the fastest speed. In a group of five, in the blink of an eye, the two thousand guards brought by Drussos were cold corpses. Of the more than 100 Chinese, only more than 30 were slightly bruised, and two were injured by stray bullets. And all this happened right under the noses of the Roman nobles, and before Drussos could react, he was captured by two attendants.

It was only ten minutes before and after, and the battle was over. Looking at Drussos in front of him, Ouyang Xuan raised his jaw with the tip of his sword and said, "I said that if you don't die, you won't die, and you have to pay a high price for the stupid thing you did today." He said to the guards holding Drussos, "Let him go, give him the weapon, and I will fight him fairly." "No!".

Ouyang Xuan stood with his sword in his hand, and when Drussos was ready, Ouyang Xuan gracefully made a gesture of western please. After Drussos leaned over and saluted, he held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand and went straight to Ouyang Xuan, walked to him, shielded the vital point with his shield, and raised his sword in his right hand to slash. The typical attack style of the shield soldiers of the Roman legionnaires, using the shield as a fulcrum, attacks the opponent with all their might. Ouyang Xuan unhurriedly blocked the opponent's sword with the back of the sword, his body suddenly rushed forward, and when the sword reached the gauntlet, his wrist flicked, and he used a move of the Taiji Sword to flick Drussos's long sword away, Ouyang Xuan's sword continued to move forward rapidly, stabbing Drussos's throat directly above the shield, without giving the opponent a little time to counterattack or dodge. With a pop, the sword in Ouyang Xuan's hand had already pierced Drussos's throat deeply, and Drussos's sword was still behind him, and before he could return to justice, Ouyang Xuan took advantage of the momentum of his body to rush forward, and the horizontal sword cut Drussos's neck. In just one round, Drussos was already in a different position.

Ouyang Xuan put his sword back into the sheath and said to the guards on the sidelines: "Pull it down and bury it." At the same time, he said to the guards: "Spread my order, the Yulin Army and the Marines will clear all the troops around the city of Rome. All of them will be killed, and if there is any disrespect to my Chinese merchants, they will also be killed." "No!".

By the time Ouyang Xuan returned to the warship, it was already a sub-hour, and the Marine Corps and the Yulin Army had already begun to operate overnight according to Ouyang Xuan's orders. This time, Ouyang Xuan was really not polite, and the kidnapped merchant was used as a guide to launch a one-day killing of the city of Rome and the surrounding area. The negotiations between Huang Tingzhong and Claudius went well. In addition to the content of the last peace treaty, this time the protection of Chinese merchants was added, and all merchants who went to Rome were strictly protected, and once attacked, it was deemed to have declared war on China. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the right of Chinese garrisons in the Black Sea straits, which does not need to be discussed, and now the entire Roman Empire has no warships to fight with the Chinese warships. The Roman Empire added 5,000 catties of gold to the last reparation.

In the spring of 33 AD, the second and final war between China and the Roman Empire ended in an absolute victory for the Chinese Empire. In June, the Chinese armies withdrew to their respective positions, and the Suez Canal project was completed on schedule with the assistance of the Duliba people. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the canal in the future, the banks were reinforced with hard rock, and several high bridges were built, and Ouyang Xuan classified this place as a naval defense area. Before Ouyang Xuan returned to China, he appointed Hu Tan as the governor of the overseas garrison, and Lin Qin as the governor of Sinai.

In the 59th year of A.D., in August 178 of China, in the hinterland of the Australian desert, the drinking water project in Australia was completed ahead of schedule. Ouyang Xuan took the slightly old Taishu Xuan, walking beside the huge artificial lake, and a Chinese-style palace on the high ground not far away had just been completed. Surrounded by green trees, the artificial waterfall gallops down from the rockery up to 100 meters high, falls in the deep pool under the mountain, and the cold pool water brings a touch of coolness here.

"Husband, Xuan'er is now in her old age, and Xuan'er has been content for more than 70 years. Get a confidant in your life, and have no regrets in this life. As the family teacher said, Xuan'er has been rich and noble all her life. There is a prince of the world who truly loves me, a well-behaved and filial daughter, and the only regret in this life is that I failed to have a son with my husband, and I can't establish a family business." Tai Shuxuan habitually rested his head on Ouyang Xuan's broad shoulders, watching the sunset reflect the red wasteland, and silver bands of light intertwined on the wasteland, like silver threads on red brocade.

Ouyang Xuan patted the white silver thread that fell from Tai Shuxuan's chest, "I have also found the Duliba people, no matter how coercive and tempting they are, they can't do anything. Just like this cloud gathers and disperses, isn't life like this? Madame, don't be worried, you and Gui'er eat hail energy together, Gui'er is still as usual now, but my Xuan'er is old."

"Husband, if you and I meet again in the next life, will you and I have an agreement? Just like I did in my previous life". Ouyang Xuan nodded very sadly, because of Tai Shuxuan's childhood experience and hard practice, Tai Shuxuan's life hail energy life regulation cycle was finalized, no matter how he made up for it the day after tomorrow, he couldn't change this cycle, and Ouyang Xuan even used seven-dimensional space matter, but he still couldn't change this cycle. She is not like Yu Linjun, she has only had a longer life cycle through Ouyang Xuan's scientific training and the replenishment of hail energy since she was a child, and according to the Duliba people's test, it is at least a thousand years. Graupel energy sometimes loses its effect on women, and many of the female soldiers who were trained at the beginning have already seen their old age. So Ouyang Xuan asked these female soldiers to marry the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and now they are all ordinary female soldiers newly recruited by Tai Shuxuan.

Looking at Ouyang Xuan in a daze, Uncle Xuan also stretched out a standard I love you gesture as when he saw Ouyang Xuan, "That's it, the agreement between you and me in the previous life, the same in the next life, this is the secret between you and me."

Ouyang Xuan smiled and nodded, in terms of his current appearance, Ouyang Xuan still maintained a sixteen-year-old appearance, but there was more maturity between his eyebrows. Standing with today's Uncle Xuan, people who don't know will say that this is the grandfather and grandson. Like Liu Hui back then, Ouyang Xuan came back from Rome and traveled with Uncle Tai Xuan in the palace or between the palaces and the palace every day, and truly lived a reclusive life.

Since the Roman War, because of the death of Drusus, the Roman soldiers were extremely hostile to the Huaxia Kingdom, and almost stopped trading with the Huaxia Kingdom under the intervention of the army. There have been many army attacks on the Chinese merchants. In the end, Ouyang Duo completely closed the western border and forbade any contact with Europe. It also blocked the southward migration of the Aryans. The Aryan Cecian chose to forcibly cross the Ural Mountains and enter Shuzhou, at the beginning this part of the Aryans was quite honest, with the passage of time, they were not willing to become a nation in China, began to rebel in Shuzhou, and repeatedly used the cold to defeat the Huaxia army that went to quell the rebellion, and finally Ouyang Duo had to send Zhao Yan to take the Flying Tiger Army to the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yan chose to conquer in the spring season, after Zhao Yan's elusive blow for half a year, the Cecian Department was finally driven out of the border pass and began to move westward. Part of it went into the Caucasus, part into Northern Europe.

And the matter was far from over, with the elimination of the Senate, Drussos and the Guard, Claudius lost his ties and reformed the Roman Empire, making the Roman Empire unprecedentedly powerful, defeating the barbarian tribes in the north and heading straight to the Rhine. He was very ambivalent about China, and finally chose to limit the Chinese garrison and restrict trade to reduce the influence of China on the Roman Empire. Since then, the commercial exchanges between China and Europe have been interrupted, and this break is a thousand years. If it weren't for the fact that Huaxia still controlled the Sinai Peninsula and the cemetery of the Colosseum of Rome, the Romans would have almost forgotten that there was still a Huaxia state. As the situation changed, Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Duo also changed their strategy, abandoning their garrisons in other places, and only stationed an army of 100,000 people in the Sinai Peninsula to defend Egypt.

Just as Ouyang Xuan and Uncle Xuan were staring at the lake in a daze, a call interrupted their thoughts. "Father, Queen Mother, why are you in a daze here?" , Ouyang Xuan helped Uncle Xuan to turn around, looking at Ouyang Gui who was floating over, Ouyang Gui, who was already fifty-two years old, now has a face that is only equivalent to the appearance of a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, looking extremely young. The personality is still so lively and lively, no one would have thought that she was already a mother of five children. Today's youngest daughter looks like a sister to her. No matter where she goes, there is always a white wolf and phoenix emperor by her side, and these four divine beasts have almost become Ouyang Gui's standard equipment now. "You don't take care of your husband in the capital, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't this thinking about my father, queen mother, and my husband was sent out to fight in Goryeo again. Also, the scenery is so beautiful, so I want to see it."

"They are all mothers of five children, and none of them look like mothers," Uncle Xuan said slowly.

"Your fiefdom is now more beautiful than here, I don't know how many times, and I don't see you go once." Ouyang Xuan helped Uncle Tai Xuan, sat on a wooden stake, put on a cloak for her, and turned back to Ouyang Gui and said.

"Father, this is not a fiefdom official who returned to Beijing to report on his work, brought back some cattle and sheep, and specially sent some to his father and mother." Ouyang Gui still pulled Uncle Xuan's arm as he did when he was a child and said.

"I think you're gluttonous, you know the year of destiny, and you're still gluttonous like this." Tai Shuxuan still scratched Ouyang Gui's nose as he did when he was a child and said.

"Father, when the grass is green here, do you want to put some cattle and sheep here?"

"Well, it will take more than ten years. In a few hundred years, you will be able to grow food here."

"Father, is there an oven here?" Ouyang Gui directly switched to the theme.

"I know that's what you're thinking, let's go." After finishing speaking, he helped Tai Shuxuan and slowly walked towards the palace, Buick and Gu Li were listlessly opening the way in front, but it was Fenghuang who was very excited to chirp in the sky.

"Father, when I came, the emperor asked me to bring you a message, and next month the Han court will send a negotiation envoy to discuss the purchase of grain, and see if you have any other instructions. In addition, Princess Lingwu's wedding is also approaching, does the father want to say something."

"What else can I say, there is another drought in Han this year, forget it, allocate some food from the treasury to support Han land. That girl is getting married, I naturally want to go, and the gifts are ready. This kid doesn't look like Duo'er at all, a bit like you look like you're young. This palace is probably in chaos again, and it is no wonder that Duo'er is in a hurry to marry her off."

"Hehe, that girl is crazier than I was when I was younger. The emperor has found him a powerful husband."

"How has Shang'er been doing lately?" , Ouyang Shang is Ouyang Xuan's choice for the crown prince, Ouyang Duo's grandson, and he is just ten years old this year. has been educated by Tang De, Huang Tingzhong and Li Mu. Like Ouyang Duo back then, Ouyang Xuan also took his micro-clothes to travel all over China. Smart and kind, which made Ouyang Xuan very pleased.

"Shang'er is now in Hutu County with General Huang, learning herding from herdsmen. This kid is a little too smart, which makes General Huang sad all day, and in a few days Premier Tang is going to Xinzhou, just take that little guy back, otherwise General Huang will have to bear it."

"Smart kids are always naughty, and that's fine. They are all my confidants and beloved generals, and they will definitely live up to my trust."

This barbecue feast was on the lakeside while enjoying the sunset, while dining, Ouyang Gui still took it secretly as he did at the beginning, and sat by the lake with Uncle Xuan watching Ouyang Xuan's sweaty barbecue, talking about the secrets between mother and daughter, until the sun set on the horizon.
