Chapter 7 Clear
What caught Ling Zifeng's eyes was a strong and square face, the deep and bright eyes revealed a sense of coldness and solemnity, and although the beard on his face was messy, it looked thick and hard, like sharp barbs that intimidated all the Persians in the field. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although his voice was calm, the killing intent in his tone was undisguised, and the depth in his eyes also gave Ling Zifeng a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, I believe that Ling Zifeng was not the only one present who judged it like this.
Mo Sandi on the side also had an imperceptible emotion in her eyes at this time, as if she was thinking about some unknown secret.
The domineering man who spoke in the field was the current king of Sparta, Leonidas, and his domineering white snatching just now made the Persian envoy stunned.
But he quickly recovered his senses and bowed slightly to Leonidas.
Leonidas saw him rubbing his sharpness a little and said with some disdain: "So, what news did you bring?" β
The Persian envoy continued to bow slightly, slowly spread his hands and said, "Earth and waterγγγγγγ Although his current behavior was a sign of humility, Ling Zifeng saw arrogance and conceit on his face that was difficult to hide.
Leonidas sneered at the corners of his mouth, and he squinted slightly and said to the Persian envoy: "You have come all the way just for a little earth and water? β
Obviously, he did not believe in the Persian envoy's statement at all, and even sneered at it.
At this awkward moment, a gentle and resolute female voice came from Leonidas: "Persians, do not pretend to be modest or ignorant. In Sparta, these pretentiousness will not do you any good! β
The person who spoke was an inconspicuous woman beside King Leonidas, who was slender and ordinary-looking, wearing a simple dress, no different from the ordinary citizens in the room.
Even Ling Zifeng didn't notice her existence at first, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Ling Zifeng remembered that this woman should be the queen of King Leonidas.
However, Ling Zifeng knew her because he had seen this movie and knew the plot, but some people in the scene didn't know about it, such as the Persian who spoke just now.
Sure enough, after the queen opened her mouth to warn the Persian envoy, he resumed his arrogance, raised his head, frowned slightly angrily, and said, "Why do you intervene this woman?!" β
King Leonidas frowned when he saw the Persian envoy say this, and before he could speak, the queen beside him stepped forward and looked directly at the Persian envoy, and replied with great momentum:
"Just because only a Spartan woman can give birth to a real man!"
The queen meant not to regard the Persian envoy as a real man, and how could the Persians not understand this obvious humiliation, and the Persian envoy was momentarily stunned by the queen's imposing words, and King Leonidas, who was about to break out, spoke.
I only heard him say in a low voice: "Calm down, let's take a step to talk." β
As he spoke, he walked forward.
The Persian envoy also turned and followed King Leonidas, and before leaving, he did not forget to glance at the queen meaningfully, and his eyes were full of indescribable arrogance and disdain.
Seeing them leave Ling Zifeng and gave Mo Sandi beside him a look, signaling her to follow first and then improvise, Mo Sandi nodded, and the two also went with the king and the Persian envoy.
The Persian envoy caught up with the king of Sparta and said unceremoniously beside him: "If you value the lives of your people and do not want to be destroyed... Leonidas, listen carefully! Xerxes the King conquers and rules everything in his sight! His army was so large that the earth shook on the march, and his soldiers could drink up any river! β
King Leonidas' brow furrowed more tightly than before, and it was evident that he was also a little troubled by the undisguised threat of the Persian envoy.
However, the words of the man in front of him were obviously not finished, and he had the patience to listen to what he wanted to say.
Just listen to the Persian messenger continue: "Xerxes, the god-king, has only one simple request, that you offer a piece of earth and a ladle of water to show that Sparta is willing to submit to the will of Xerxes. β
Saying this, the expression of the Persian envoy became more and more arrogant, and his lips were greatly cracked and turned up, as if he was showing off the supreme national power of his country.
His expression was like that of the ugly and greedy jackal of the African savannah, which grinned with thick lips and hissed merrily for finding a herd of fat and juicy cattle and sheep, and a gratuitous disgust rose in the hearts of those who watched.
The group marched slowly to a lofty courtyard in the middle of the city, and King Leonidas continued to frown and say nothing, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he sighed softly, and two words came out of his mouth in a low voice:
"Surrender?"
He didn't wait for the Persian envoy to speak, his expression changed and he changed a mocking expression and continued: "Uh... It's a bit of a hassle... It is said that the Athenians have rejected you. β
Saying this, King Leonidas furrowed his eyebrows and continued with a slight playfulness: "If those paper-talking guys and homosexuals have the audacity to do this, then we Spartans also have to think about our own reputation! β
Hearing this, the Persian envoy seemed to have guessed the mind of King Leonidas, and raised his eyebrows sarcastically and said, "Leonidas, carefully consider what you are going to say next, this may be the last thing you say as a king!" β
Ling Zifeng was slightly shocked when he heard these words, these words of the Persians were not sarcastic, and the obvious threat in this sentence made Ling Zifeng, who was outside the situation, also uncomfortable when he heard it.
He glanced at the beautiful Mo Sandi beside him, and saw that she was also frowning slightly, as if she was disgusted with the Persian envoy in front of him.
Seeing King Leonidas turn around and slowly pace half a circle in the field, he sighed softly and fell into deep thought.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward and a little nervous, I don't know if God also noticed the tense atmosphere here, and a gust of wind blew King Leonidas's cloak slowly.
The wide blood-colored cloak set off his majestic figure, making the atmosphere in the room even more tense and solemn, and King Leonidas stood on the high platform, he slowly looked up into the distance.
I saw a ray of sunlight shining through the distant mountains on the land in front of me.
The land was peaceful, and from time to time a few peasants looked up, as if they too knew that there was a crowd of uninvited guests today, and they were worried about the future fate of their country.
King Leonidas looked at all this, and the depth in his eyes grew more and more intense, as if he wanted to say something to the land before him through his dark eyes.
The citizens of the city looked at their king, waiting for him to respond to the crisis in front of him, and Leonidas turned his head to see a group of thinly dressed children on the corner of the street, and they also looked at him with anticipation.
He seemed to see his own past in these children, which was the tradition of their Spartans, who had to undergo inhuman trials and hard baptism from an early age, because only in this way could a true warrior be trained.
He turned to his queen, the wife who dared to confront the envoy of the mighty Persian Empire.
He saw in her eyes the perseverance and tenderness of a Spartan woman, and he also saw his wife's unreserved support and expectation for him.
The eyes of the two exchanged information that others could not think of in an instant, and the king seemed to have figured out something, and seemed to have received the affirmation of his wife.
He repeated to himself what the Persian envoy had said
"Earth and Water" γγγγγγ
King Leonidas struggled inwardly, and his words could bring ruin to his country and its people.
The slightest mistake could have tarnished the reputation of the Spartans in Greece, or even become a capitulation that was inferior to Athens, full of artists and homosexuals.
Suddenly, his eyes were solemn, and with a "poof" he reached out and pulled out his saber from his waist, and it was already extremely natural and rested on the neck of the Persian envoy.
The Persian envoy was instantly shocked, he raised his hands to make a surrender suit, and King Leonidas raised his sword and forced the Persian envoy to step back step by step, to the vent of the Spartan sewers.
The vents were large and wide enough to contain the Persian envoy and his retinue, and enough to quell the rags that had already clogged in Leonidas' chest and abdomen.
When the Persians around them saw the sudden change, they all drew their weapons and confronted the Spartan defenders.
Not to be outdone, the Spartans drew their swords and spears one by one and faced the Persian mission, their eyes becoming more and more murderous, and for a while, the tension became more and more tense.
Mo Sandi was slightly shocked when she saw this scene, she hurriedly leaned over to Ling Zifeng's ear and whispered: "The Persian envoy is going to be killed by the king of Sparta!" How good is it that we should expect these men to find the Persian king Xerxes? β
Ling Zifeng listened to Mo Sandi's slightly anxious inquiry, and felt the breath of the beautiful woman in his ear blowing like an orchid, and couldn't help but be a little confused.
He strengthened his mind and said: "It doesn't matter, the Persian envoy was killed, Xerxes's army will inevitably come to capture Sparta, just now I heard the meaning of the messenger Xerxes seems to be on the expedition this time, let's not make trouble and wait and see." β
Mo Sandi didn't notice Ling Zifeng's strange thoughts, and when she heard what he said, she quietly continued to watch.
King Leonidas had driven the Persian messenger to the edge of the sewers, and the Persian messenger shouted at him in a fit of rage: "You are mad! You lunatic! What are you doing! β
He found his entourage forced to his side by the Spartan guards with weapons, and they were already approaching the large, wide, deep sewer vents, and his heart was even more terrified.
King Leonidas did not care about his fears, raised his sword and looked the Persian messenger squarely, and said, "Earth and water! That's a lot down there! Go and get it yourself! β
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the dark vents behind the Persian emissary.
