Chapter 346: The Shameless Man
A few hours ago, when the Huns stormed Constantinople, many nobles, senators and merchants in the city had resisted the Huns with their own private armies, but the armies of these resisting nobles were all wiped out without exception, and this move also angered the Hun soldiers, they almost killed all the nobles, senators, and merchants in the city, but fortunately Charlie Cao came forward to get Balkhand to order a ban on this massacre, otherwise, I am afraid that all the rich, nobles and councillors in the city would suffer.
Constantinople can be said to be a very large city in this era, but I am afraid that there are not many cities with such a large scale as Constantinople, and there are only a handful of prosperous cities that can achieve this kind of chengdù, so the number of nobles gathered in the city of Constantinople is really a lot, and the nobles who were invited this time are large to dukes and small barons, and the large and small nobles are close to two hundred, accounting for more than two-thirds of the nobles of the entire Byzantine Empire, and less than one-third of the nobles are scattered in various provinces.
No one knew that the Huns would enter the city of Constantinople from the sea, which caused more than two-thirds of the nobles and wealthy merchants of the empire to fall into the hands of the Huns, and it can also be said that more than two-thirds of the elite were wiped out by the Huns, which was really an unbearable blow for the Byzantine Empire.
Now these nobles and wealthy merchants were invited to the circular chamber of the Senate, where the fierce Hun soldiers stood around the circular hall every two meters with swords in hand, and the nobles and wealthy merchants sitting in the seats of the parliament were eyeing each other.
The surrounding Xiongnu were not so vicious that these nobles and wealthy merchants did not dare to speak loudly. They can only keep their heads down and talk to each other about what they know, and they rely on this method to exchange information and get information from them that they didn't know before. Let the knowers know a little more about the whole thing.
"Hahaha, all the nobles, parliamentarians and wealthy businessmen, let you wait for a long time, please forgive the poor Dao for not greeting him well, hehehe......" Charlie Cao walked in from the door of the round conference room with a dust whisk on his arm.
When Charlie Cao walked in, there was no sound in the venue, and these aristocrats, parliamentarians, and wealthy businessmen closed their mouths tightly and turned their heads to look at this middle-aged man who was dressed very strangely. I want to know what position this person holds in the Huns.
But alas, they were disappointed. They had almost no impression of the Taoist hat on Charlie Cao's head and the robes on his body, and they didn't know what style of clothing it was, but they could see that Charlie Cao had an oriental face.
Charlie Cao's chief of guard saw that the venue was so deserted, and Charlie Cao appeared. And these aristocratic lords of the Eastern Empire even rely on their own identity. looked high, and immediately said angrily: "You are bold, this is my Great Hun Empire's right national teacher, don't you hurry up and salute?" ”
After the translation, the aristocrats and wealthy merchants who were in a state of astonishment finally woke up, and they came back to their senses to realize that it was the Huns and not them who were in charge of the situation here, and everyone saluted Charlie Cao in a sparse manner, and said in an uneven voice: "Meet the national teacher!" ”
"Hehehe," Charlie Cao smiled and walked to the speaker's seat, facing these nobles and wealthy businessmen. After sitting down, he pressed his hand and smiled at them: "Nobles and wealthy businessmen don't have to be polite, please take a seat." Have a seat! ”
"Master Xie Guoshi!" This time, the nobles and wealthy merchants spoke very neatly.
Charlie Cao looked at the nobles and wealthy merchants of nearly two hundred people with a smile on his face, and then said: "Good news for you, now that the whole city of Constantinople is under the control of our Xiongnu Empire's army, I think all the nobles and wealthy merchants must be happy to hear this good news, right?" Hahaha.......".
None of these nobles and wealthy businessmen expected that the first sentence of the right national master of the Xiongnu Empire turned out to be a cold joke, which was not only a cold joke, but also a counter-sentence, with a strong sense of ridicule and insult, as if all of them wished that the Xiongnu Empire would send troops to kill them earlier and they were eager to get out of the sea of suffering.
In fact, these nobles and wealthy businessmen are living very well in Constantinople, so good that they are like fish in water, living in Constantinople is like living in paradise, they don't want to see the Huns kill at all, let alone the Huns attack Constantinople, but the reality is that Constantinople has been breached, their good days are over, they are forced to come to today's meeting, and they have to endure the grief caused by the huge property loss with a smile and deal with Charlie Cao.
"Haha, yes, yes, respected by all people, the noble national teacher, the villain was very happy after hearing the news that your army entered the city of Constantinople and killed those city guards and praetorian guards who lost their armor, and they were even more excited than seeing the best twin sisters, just now the villain saw the figure and appearance of the adult, it was really shocking, the noble national teacher, your charm is infinite, the villain swears to follow you for life, please accept the villain to become your faithful servant!"
"Vomit—"
When a wealthy merchant who was fatter than a fat pig weighing more than 300 pounds said the above words, although the nobles and other wealthy businessmen present were accustomed to flattery and flattery, these shameless words still made them all can't help but vomit.
"It's shameless, this kind of disgusting flattery can be said, it's really convincing! Why didn't I say it first? Many wealthy businessmen are muttering remorse in their hearts.
There are also many nobles who are really disgusted by this extreme shameless attitude of flattering the Huns, and these nobles who think very highly of themselves do not take Charlie Cao in their eyes at all, in their eyes, Charlie Cao is completely a barbarian wizard who came from a barbarian country and has never seen much of the world. They were extremely disgusted with the behavior of the fat pig-like wealthy merchant just now, and spit on the ground in disgust to express their dissatisfaction and indignation, but the fat pig-like wealthy businessman completely ignored this and made them even more angry, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Charlie Cao saw that the fat pig-like rich businessman suddenly had a shiny eye, and asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
The fat pig-like wealthy businessman saw that Charlie Cao actually asked his name with a smile, he was overjoyed, the fat on his face trembled constantly because of excitement, and he hurriedly reported his name, and almost fell to the ground, "O the most honorable national teacher in the history of Constantinople, your humble servant Pete salutes you, and it is the luckiest thing for a villain to meet you!" Constantinople has a noble figure like you, my lord, and it will henceforth be bathed in the splendor of your holiness......"
"Vomit-" Some of the more upright nobles couldn't help but vomit again.
There were also many people who drew crosses on the left and right sides of their chests and on their foreheads with their hands, and cursed Pete the fat pig in their hearts: "My God, have mercy on this disgusting fat pig and take this disgusting fat pig into the arms of the Lord." ”
Even these battle-hardened aristocrats and wealthy businessmen can't stand Pete's flattery, let alone people like Charlie Cao? After listening to Pete's first few words, Charlie Cao could barely bear it, and now he had goosebumps all over his body, and if he let the fat pig continue, he was afraid that he would run away.
So, Charlie Cao immediately stopped Pete from continuing, and he interrupted Pete and said, "Okay, Mr. Pete, we'll talk about your affairs later!" ”
Pete immediately obediently closed his mouth, he is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, he has already sensed the unhappiness in Charlie Cao's heart, so he closed his murderous mouth very interestingly.
Charlie looked again at the nobles and wealthy merchants in the parliamentary seats, he had long known the virtues of the nobles, thanks to the fact that he had been preaching here for several years.
"Okay, nobles and wealthy merchants, let's get down to business, the poor road has already said just now, now the whole of Constantinople is under the control of my Hun army, although Leo and his queen fled from the sewers to the sea, and then escaped from Constantinople by boat, but only Leo and a few of them can escape, the fall of Constantinople means that the entire Thrace region of the Eastern Empire is under the attack of our Hun army from the east and west, and the five legions deployed on the border of the Eastern Empire are in a situation of being attacked by the enemy, It is only a matter of time before it collapses, and in this way, including Constantinople, all the territories west of Constantinople that previously belonged to the Eastern Empire will be occupied by our Hun army! And from now on, you nobles and wealthy businessmen of the former Eastern Empire have also become our captives, and Poor Dao is here to ask, do you people want to be martyred for the Eastern Empire, or do you swear and sign to abandon the previous identity of citizens and nobles of the Eastern Empire, and voluntarily join my Xiongnu Empire and become citizens of the Xiongnu Empire? ”
"Dear National Teacher, your humble servant Pete is willing to abandon all his previous identities related to the Eastern Empire, voluntarily join the Xiongnu Empire, become a citizen of the Xiongnu Empire, and become your faithful servant!" Once again, Pete the Fat Pig reacted faster than anyone else, and he expressed his determination before anyone else could react, much to the hatred of some of the other wealthy businessmen.
After Pete's statement, one-third of the people said on the spot that they would abandon their previous identity as the Eastern Empire and voluntarily join the Xiongnu Empire. (To be continued......)
