Chapter 14: The Envoy of Seris (Part II)

The more Adiana spoke, the more sad she became, and Li Bida put his backhand on her shoulder, and said with relief, "I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with you, Spencers is trapping our son and guiding him to the dirty path." ”

"Pits? I can see that after all, you are still unhappy that Spencers presented a scroll of poetry to please you that day. You didn't even think about giving Eujit reciprocal treatment, and the future of your inheritance was all going to be distributed to that Leo, did you? Even if his mother came from such a humble background. ”

This made Li Bida's heart even more troubled, he opened Adiana's hand, and then walked towards the bed, "You arrange a meeting with the envoy of Seris at once, as for the gift of Eujit, I will naturally consider it, but Italy, Gaul, Greece, and Macedonia are not allowed, and in the future this is the region that I need to govern." ”

"If you are directly under the government, you will not be the same Leo in the future. I don't hate him, I don't hate him, because I have nothing to do with Leo, but I hate you, I hate you for having a son of such glorious blood, and yet you turn a blind eye to him, and you insult and frighten him today with your rudeness. After Adiana finished speaking, she took a step ahead of Li Bida and threw herself on the bed and whimpered.

Seeing this scene, Li Bida felt pity in his heart, but he didn't want to tell the truth of the matter, he didn't want to expose it, because it would damage the reputation of Ejit - Caesar, he, and Antony, who could be said to have crawled out of the streets and alleys of Rome, ate hob meat, and didn't care about reputation or anything for a long time, but Leo's generation, including his and Adeina's children, was different.

"You have a good rest, Calabia, you should trust me, I'll go to another dormitory for the night." After saying this, Li Bida put on his robe, because this bed was arbitrarily occupied by Adina, as a man facing such a situation, it is best to withdraw first, and wait until the queen is willing to reason in the future.

At last, two days later, Adiana, though she did not go to the high priest herself, sent a message in her place, saying that the banquet for the meeting with the envoy of Seris had been prepared, in a palace at the foot of the mountain.

As a sign of respect, Li Bida and Adiana sat on a circle chair directly under the steps of the palace, and then called the guards, servants and servants to greet the envoy with ceremonies.

Originally, the envoy was settled in the communal apartment of Nicomedia by Adiana, and the food and women were all supplied, don't look at the queen and Li Pida quarreling so fiercely, but who told the amphora to eat her in this life? At this moment, Adiana still dressed herself carefully, put on a graceful robe, and sat next to the high priest, in fact, this is a taboo practice in the republic - the consul level can sit on the golden throne, but his wife can only stand on one side, but Adiana has always regarded Li Bida as the son-in-law of the capital, and all of them are done according to the pomp and circumstance of the Persian monarch.

The High Priest, who sat next to her, however, was visibly uncontrollable in his agitation, which was evident in his slightly restless breathing.

He had been in this world for too long, and he had known many people, Caesar, Antony, Sabo, Lucuras, Marcus, Adiana, Porti, Julia, Cleopatra, and so on, but during this time he had only friends, only enemies, but no kind, and this was also a kind of loneliness, a kind of loneliness that is difficult to explain.

Slowly, Otakilius appeared in front of the door, and by this time the high priest was almost sitting up, holding on to the handle.

"You're really decent, worthy of a amphora." It was the first unpleasant word Adiana had spoken to him two days later, and Eugit was standing beside her parents' throne with a heavy heart.

Soon, the envoy of Seris finally appeared, and it was exactly as Li Bida had imagined: medium stature, dressed in noble and simple clothes, holding a bronze scepter with a feather in his hand, ringing and jingling, with dignified steps, and thoughtful etiquette, carrying a Chinese garment, through the long welcoming procession, holding the letter of Emperor Seris, came to him.

The envoy seemed to be in the prime of life, a few years younger than Li Bida, but his bearing was extraordinary, and when he bowed again on the steps to Li Bida and Adiana, the "king and queen" (the envoy should think so), Li Bida hurriedly got up and saluted back.

Then the envoy took the gift and the name thorn from his retinue, and presented it to Li Bida's hand, and placed it in the palm of the high priest's hand, representing the gift of Seris, which was made of jade, one large and one small, apparently for Adina.

The jade bi was caressed in his hand, and a warmth and immensity suddenly filled Li Bida's body, warm, this is the gentleman's thing that the people of Seris love the most!

Then the envoy unfolded the letter of state, and read it aloud in a frustrated tone, during which he did not understand one of the pronunciations, but his tears actually flowed down, and even Adiana was pleased, so she stretched out her hand and wiped the man's cheek, for she could easily see that the amphora was really the same as the envoy, and that it was really a Seris, which also meant that more than twenty years ago, in the barracks of Lucuras, the amphora did not lie, he was really free, and he was from the nobles of Seris, He has a name of his own!

Seeing Li Bida looking at him, Adiana also smiled slightly, and then the hands of the two people naturally clasped together again, "Cyris's words, Syris's words, it's really beautiful" As he spoke, the high priest closed his eyes, still broken from tears, and seemed to have entered the state of fully enjoying this qiē.

After a long time, when the envoy had finished reading the letter of state, Li Bida himself got up, took it respectfully, and handed it to Matthias in the enamel box, which was in fact all ceremonial things—as early as before, Otakilius had told him that the Syris's envoy had been very successful, and that the emperor over there was very interested in this side of the world, and hoped to join forces with Li Bida to ensure each other's well-being for a long time.

In short, the question of trade and the opening of sea routes, bypassing the control of Parthia, and uniting the coastal kingdoms is all right.

In the end, Li Bida simply continued to use Latin, and he asked for a grand reception for the envoy, and then he remembered that he did not know the name of the envoy, so he apologized again and again, and asked Yuajit to take the name of the envoy just now.

As a result, in the sun, Li Bida saw that on the famous thorn made of bamboo, it was engraved with "Han Tianzi Zhonglang will make the festival, Wang Qinian".

Although Li Bida couldn't speak the Cylis dialect at that time, he was proficient in words, and he read it several times, and it was this line of words, which was exactly the same! R1152
