On the eve of the 533 military parade
Obviously, the emissary from Egypt did not realize that it was not the high-ranking officials of Seris who had met him today, but the Pope himself, who had supreme power. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow]
And what surprised Luan Yi was that the leader of the envoys sent by Egypt turned out to be a beautiful Egyptian woman.
It is true that in order to facilitate travel, the Egyptians dressed up as a woman and a man, but as an emperor who has read countless people, Luan Yi saw through her identity at a glance.
"Look up." Luan Yi, who was sitting on top of the treasure hall, spoke in Roman to the Egyptians in the audience.
The Egyptian girl shuddered and showed off her beautiful face under the cloak.
"Are you Egyptian?" Luan Yi asked.
The Egyptian girl nodded nervously.
"Don't be nervous, young girl. The reason why I have invited you here today is because I found that the Romans seem to want to do something against you, but they have not taken action because of the security of Luoyang City. Tell me why you came to the Empire...... I don't think you're not here to trade. ”
The Egyptian girl was stunned. She came after the Roman mission, but she didn't expect that it was only three days after she arrived in Luoyang, and the pharaoh of Seris saw through her identity and intention. "Is he really as the Seris say, favored by the gods?"
"Your Majesty." The Egyptian girl fell to one knee and took off her cloak that covered her head. Her long, silky brown hair then spread out, accentuating her bronzed cheeks, "Down there is a descendant of the royal family of Egypt, named Neferet." ”
"Descendants of the royal family?" Luan Yi smiled slightly, "As far as I know, Egypt was conquered by Rome more than two hundred years ago, and there is no so-called royal family anymore. ”
"The Venerable Pharaoh of Seris saw that he survived the war in the next one. For generations, our family has worked to overthrow the tyranny of the Romans and restore Egypt to its former glory. Nefrit's expression darkened, and she said, "But how can you be weak...... They are no match for the Romans, and many of their families have died, and if they continue like this, they will one day be wiped out. So, with the mission of my family and the hope of national rejuvenation, I have traveled all the way to Seris to ask the great Pharaoh Seris to help us. If the venerable Pharaoh can help us overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Romans, we are willing to become a vassal of Seris, and always be at the mercy of Seris. ”
"Pharaoh?" Luan Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled. Speaking of which, in Egypt, the pharaoh was the country's military, political, and religious leader, and his identity was really a bit like himself. He didn't dwell too much on this issue, and said to Nefrit: "You know that after the empire helps Egypt overthrow the tyranny of the Romans, although Egypt will become a subject state of the empire, Egypt is far from the empire, and it will take at least more than a year to make a round trip. The Empire has no control over you at all, and the so-called vassal status is only nominal. You've got a good plan. ”
Nefret blushed and said eagerly, "Your Majesty the Venerable Pharaoh Seris. For more than 100 years, the Romans ravaged Egypt and plundered our wealth. He sent our men to the north to fight the barbarians for them, to make them charge, and he also made our women accompany the army......" Nefret bowed her head, choked up, and said, "They are not human at all. The people of Egypt are living in dire straits every day, and we are forced to do nothing, so I ask His Majesty Pharaoh to have mercy and save us. As long as the great Serisken helps us, we are willing to give everything, including my flesh. With that, Nefret began to untie her garment, revealing the Egyptian national costume with little fabric under the cover of her coat.
I have to say that Nefrit's figure is extremely graceful, and his bronzed skin is enough, and his body shows almost perfect curves. However, the beautiful figure of a young girl still has a full attraction to Luan Yi, who is over fifty years old, but as an emperor, out of consideration for the future of the empire, he does not show any obsessive look.
He stepped down from the high platform and came to Nefrit, hooked Nefrit's chin in a lofty posture, and played with taste: "Do you want to be Cleopatra?" It's a pity that I don't want to be a Caesar. ”
Nefret was stunned, "Your Majesty knows Cleopatra and Caesar? ”
"I ...... Omniscient. Luan Yi squinted at Nafret and said, "I don't need your body, but I want you to sell your soul to me." ”
"Soul?" When Nefret heard that Luan Yi wanted to help her, she was immediately overjoyed, prostrate in front of Luan Yi, and kept kissing the carved dragon pattern on his boots, "As long as the noble pharaoh is willing to save the people of Egypt and help my family restore the kingdom, I am willing to sell my soul to you, His Majesty the Venerable Pharaoh Seris." She stood up impatiently and asked, "When are you going to send troops to help us restore our country?" How many people are out? How did the army travel long distances to reach Egypt? What can we do for you? ”
Faced with Nefrit's serial questions, Luan Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Your Excellency Nefrit, don't worry, listen to me." Just the day before yesterday, the Empire had just signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Rome, so out of justice and trustworthiness, we could not directly use troops against Rome to help you restore your country. ”
"It's ...... What do you mean? Didn't you say that as long as I sold my soul, you would be willing to help us restore the country? ”
"Yes!" Luan Yi nodded, "I have always had reverence for the great civilization of Egypt, and I am also deeply sympathetic to the plight of the Egyptian people. So I want to help you out. ”
"But didn't you sign a treaty of alliance with the Romans? If it is an alliance with the Romans, how can it help Egypt? "Nefret was completely confused.
"The Empire did not send troops to help Egypt in the open, but secretly sold Egypt weapons of the best quality. With the weapons of the Empire in hand, Egypt's restoration is a breeze. How is it? ”
"Blades?" Nefret was stunned. Since she hadn't traveled with the Roman mission when she came, and she hadn't seen the battle between Zhao Tong and the Elite People, the Cyris weapon that Luan Yi was talking about was still very unfamiliar to her.
Luan Yi immediately asked Eunuch Bingbi to ask for a saber from the guards in front of the palace, and shook it in front of Nafrit's eyes, "Look at it." This is the most ordinary military saber of the Empire. With that, he drew his sword and slashed at the bronze furnace in the temple.
"Bang" is crisp for a lifetime, and the hard copper furnace is divided into two. Putting the knife into the sheath, he asked Nafrette with a shocked face, "How?" The sword of the empire sharpens iron like clay. With it, you still can't beat the Roman army? In addition to this, the empire has many powerful weapons of mass destruction. We are all willing to sell to Egypt. One thing you can rest assured of is that the Empire will never sell these weapons to Rome. What do you think? ”
"It's ......," Nefrit still hesitated. In her opinion, Seris's sale of weapons to Egypt was nothing more than a reason for Pharaoh Seris to prevaricate himself. No matter how powerful Seris's weapons are, they are not as good as sending troops directly.
"That's good." Luan Yi could see that Nefrit was not satisfied with the plan he proposed, and the main reason for her dissatisfaction was that she lacked sufficient understanding of imperial weapons such as magic knives and artillery. He told her, "The day after tomorrow, that is, the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, is the national day of the empire." At that time, the empire will hold a grand military parade outside the west gate of Luoyang. I hope that your Excellency will go and participate, and that the Empire will be willing to sell to Egypt any Imperial weapon within your sight. If Egypt recognizes the Empire's weapons and thinks that it will help Egypt to restore the country, you can go to Tianwai Village, the shopkeeper of the inn where you are staying, on the same day, he has now been replaced by an Imperial soldier. He will arrange for you to meet me again. If you don't think the armament of the empire will help Egypt much, I can only say that I can't help it. ”
Listening to Luan Yi's words, Nefrit let out a long breath of turbidity. "Everything is up to His Majesty Pharaoh."
Three days later, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the 29th year of the Holy Yuan, it was the ninth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Chinese Empire. Originally, Luan Yi was scheduled to hold a military parade at the time of the tenth anniversary, but this year, the Roman envoy came, so the parade was advanced by a year.
In fact, as early as three months, after the Romans arrived in Yangcheng, preparations for the military parade had already begun. Officials of the Imperial Ministry of Industry erected a magnificent cement platform five miles from the west gate of Luoyang, and placed a fence around it with iron frames and curtains that could serve as temporary stands.
Under the unified dispatch of the Ministry of War, the 18 major states of the empire each sent 1,500 elite troops, who were the main body of the parade. The garrisons of the states were among the heavy cavalry, the Templars and Templars, who symbolized the glory of the Empire, and the Navy, engineers, artillery, and Medics of the Empire's North Sea Fleet.
Before the parade began, more than 40,000 well-armed imperial troops camped outside Luoyang City, lined up in phalanxes every day, shouting slogans, and the momentum was extraordinary, and the scene was magnificent.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, early in the morning, Luan Yi and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the parade site under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army. Behind them were more than 10,000 famous heroes, scholars, poets, and craftsmen from all over the empire who were invited to participate in the military parade......
With the experience of watching dramas and footballs, the imperial elites who participated in the parade quickly found their seats in the stands according to their respective invitations and quietly did so.
The order of the emissaries from Rome was shocked again, and they lamented that even the Senate meetings in Rome were not so orderly. The extraordinary quality of the Seris people once again aroused their admiration.
At three o'clock, Luan Yi walked up to the high platform amid the tsunami-like cries of the mountains, and after a short but powerful festive speech, he began to lead everyone present to pray together, thanking Our Lady for giving the Holy Chinese Empire good weather and good health.
