Chapter 55: Tradition is Good
The duel between the two kings does not have much to watch, and there is no suspense; Leonidas was originally the most formidable warrior in the whole of Sparta, and he had just experienced the bloody battles of Hot Springs, Ancient Sheep Road, and his combat state had reached its peak; Although Psanias was also a good warrior, he was still one level worse than Leonidas, and he was in charge of religious sacrifices, so he only went to the military camp regularly to participate in training according to the custom; Several factors were taken together, and the battle between the two kings was doomed from the very beginning.
Psanidas, with his eyes wide open, clutching his stabbed abdomen, fell at Leonidas's feet with great unwillingness; He didn't understand that although his relationship with Leonidas was average, although he was very close to Siron, and although those priests would deliberately make things difficult for Leonidas, all of this together would not lead to the risk of violating the laws of Sparta and killing himself......
As soon as the battle was over, Fassbinder and the others immediately took control of the family of Psanidas; Leonidas and Wang Jun rushed into the palace of Psanidas, and the two went their separate ways to find evidence.
Unexpectedly, Leonidas did not find any gains, only a few Spartan gold bars and belongings that might have belonged to Psanidas. At last, Leonidas came out empty-handed, and only the king's army dragged out a sack full of Persian gold coins; In fact, Wang Jun did not gain anything, so he had to find a sack in the palace and release the Persian gold coins in the spatial ring as evidence.
He threw the sack on the corpse of Psanidas, and the Persian gold coins were scattered all over the ground; Wang Jun looked at these gold coins, and felt a little painful.
"Traitor! Traitor! "All the fighters present began to roar!
Not only that, but the 299 warriors who had been disarmed by Psanidas also roared angrily; The king, whom they had been protecting with all their hearts, was a traitor, and it was difficult for them to accept this result in their hearts, so they were even more angry than anyone else.
Things have developed to this point, and more than 10,000 warriors now only dare to trust Leonidas, and the other magnates of Sparta are not at ease; Leonidas took one seat, Syron and Psanidas died, and only 27 other deputies remained, and the warriors were "invited" to the chamber of the Senate one by one; At the same time, all the councillors' homes were carefully examined by the soldiers; Not to mention, a large amount of Persian gold coins were found in the homes of the two councilors, and this time Wang Jun did not do anything.
The 27 councillors who were "invited" to the council chamber by the fighters almost drowned the fighters with water; As soon as Leonidas and Wang Jun entered the hall, they immediately spat and splattered, and all kinds of insults and accusations almost toppled the roof.
Leonidas took one hand and pulled out two councillors who had taken refuge in the Persians; Wang Jun threw several bags of Persian gold coins found from the homes of the two parliamentarians directly in the center of the hall; Persian gold coins jumped, as if mocking the previous actions of dozens of parliamentarians.
The council chamber was silent, and there were traitors!
"Look at what you high-ranking councillors have done!"
In the sturdy chamber, only Leonidas's voice echoed.
"A friend who came all the way from Rome can accompany the Spartan warriors against the Persians, fight bloodily, and die without fear!" As he spoke, Leonidas pointed his finger at Wang Jun.
"And as Spartans, there are some of the most powerful people, but they are betraying Sparta!"
"Priests, kings, and parliamentarians take bribes from their enemies and betray their own people!"
"As a king, as one of the magnates, I think it's a great shame!"
"I suggest that a citizens' assembly be convened!" Leonidas finished his last sentence and looked around.
Opposite him, the two frightened and paralyzed parliamentarians, their faces were dead and they bowed their heads and were silent; The remaining 25 parliamentarians agreed to Leonidas's proposal.
The news, like wings, spread quickly throughout the city.
There was an earthquake in the whole city of Sparta!
The priest who has always been worshiped by the people is actually a traitor!
These shameless ugly monsters, after accepting bribes from the Persians, deliberately made up false "oracles" in an attempt to prevent Sparta from sending troops and frame the widely respected king, Leonidas.
In the Senate, which had always been high, a total of 3 councillors rebelled against Sparta and threw themselves into the arms of the Persians; Led by Siron, they deliberately disseminated information unfavorable to Leonidas and slandered Leonidas' wife; With strong enemies on their side, these shameless people are still thinking about how to expand the power in their hands, so that Sparta will not be in danger.
And Psanidas, as another king second only to Leonidas in prestige, also ......
Leonidas's prestige is high!
The most powerful warrior in Sparta, the most loyal king in Sparta, the excellent commander who fought against the million-strong Persian army with 300 men, and the immortal wise man who exposed the disguise of a traitor......
In short, apart from the problems of his wife, which still plagued him, Leonidas was now enjoying a great harvest.
The two parliamentarians who had accepted bribes were kept under close surveillance; Leonidas's anger began to subside, and he began to consider that it was more valuable to kill the traitor, and he was not in a hurry.
One by one, messengers were sent out to the city of Sparta, and all the citizens of Sparta were notified of the convening of a general assembly.
And Wang Jun has also gained a lot of money, and he is still very busy.
Naturally, Leonidas' trust is needless to say, and the respect of the Spartan warriors is not the point; As for the unexpected approval of 25 legislators, Wang Jun really doesn't care.
Somewhere in the Spartan barracks, the thick wooden fence was opened, and the king's army strode into it with two handsome blond men, Starlius and Astinos, and 12 Roman hoplites.
The festival hasn't arrived yet, has it?
The girls looked at the warriors in amazement, and of course, most of their eyes were focused on the two bastarians and Astino behind the king's army; Compared with Wang Jun, the two fools are tall and handsome, and their muscle bumps are exposed to the air, which really attracts the attention of female surnames.
Wang Jun, his aura is powerful, and his charm is also there, but he is indeed shorter, and he does not expose his cheetah-like smooth muscles, and he is dressed as a Roman commander.
Fortunately, at least one girl looked at Wang Jun, and it was the most beautiful one, the girl with a red cloth scarf for her hair; The girl was wearing a fiery red robe today, her chest was deep, her wheat-colored skin, and her plump body could be called the most beautiful female surname that Wang Jun had ever seen since she had crossed.
The girl saw that it was Wang Jun, and the spark in her chestnut pupils that was about to go out suddenly jumped sharply and grew stronger.
"My name is Wang Jun, what about you?" Wang Jun walked straight up to the girl with the bunched hair and stood still, smiling and asking.
"Dina."
"Oh, Dina, that's a good name; Well, let's go out for a walk together? ”
"Walking? Can...... Is that possible? ”
"Absolutely! Oh, I forgot to say, Dina, you, and the other girls, you're all free. Wang Jun smiled heartily.
"Really?" All the girls were excited, and asked Wang Jun in unison; The two fools were very dissatisfied, and it felt so cool to be stared at by all the beauties, and now their eyes went to Wang Jun.
"Those ugly bastards took refuge in the Persians, and we killed them all!" Starlius took a step forward, alongside the king's army; In order to attract MM's attention, this thing shamelessly described what Leonidas and Wang Jun did as "us".
"That's right, we've killed these ugly bastards, and you're free!" Astino lost the opportunity and immediately followed, the opportunity is rare, and the first strike is stronger.
The ten young girls screamed and muttered happily, and the lost look returned to them.
Don't be an oracle messenger anymore!
Don't go with those ugly priests!
Free!
……
When Dina and the others stopped from their incomparable excitement, Wang Jun stretched out his hand and looked at Dina with a smile.
"Take a walk! Walk! Let's go for a walk! Let's go for a walk! Seeing this, the two fools immediately shouted at the top of their throats, causing a lot of laughter.
Sparta doesn't pay much attention to it, men and women look at each other very well, men are straightforward and women are crisp, and the way of picking girls like Wang Jun is more bizarre.
However, it doesn't matter, Wang Jun is thick-skinned, and besides, he really doesn't understand these customs and customs of Sparta.
Dina jumped up to Wang Jun's side, took Wang Jun's outstretched hand, and giggled: "Let's go to the city for a walk?" ”
Your sister's! That's too smooth, isn't it? Could it be that my brother's charm index has really increased?
Wang Jun glanced at the two fools who were squeezing their eyebrows, and pulled Dina away; Well, this girl's hand...... It feels so good.
In other words, spanning thousands of years, Wang Jun understood one thing, this woman, both ancient and modern, likes to go shopping; In fact, Sparta's commerce was not developed, while agriculture and metal processing industries developed well.
Strictly speaking, the Spartans' own agriculture was not developed, but the enslaved Helots, their agricultural level was still very good; In addition to the military, the Spartans are best at, and it is estimated that there is only one field of metal processing.
Shopping with the United States, followed by 12 loyal Roman hoplites, Wang Jun suddenly found that his life was quite good, if the streets of Sparta were cleaner and commerce more prosperous, this sunny afternoon would be perfect.
That night, Wang Jun and his party stayed in the palace of Psanias, which Leonidas had settled in the council chamber.
Traitors can enjoy such treatment, so why can't the warriors who helped the Spartan warriors kill the Persian emperor?
It was noon, and Leonidas was facing a refutation from some of his opponents; As soon as these words came out, 25 votes in favor were immediately in hand, and all of them passed. In fact, all the royal families of the Psanias family have been dismissed, and Sparta has only one royal family since then, the Leonids royal family; The so-called palace of Psanas no longer exists, and it is actually suitable to be used as a VIP reception.
Of course, the royal palace they value is really average.
It is surrounded by a 2-meter-high stone wall, with only one gate opening due south; As soon as the gate enters, there is a large courtyard, with five bungalows on the left and right sides, which are large enough, but the bungalows and the walls seem to have only the advantage of being strong; Facing the gate, it is a house that covers an area of no more than 200 square meters, with a total height of about 7 meters and two floors; At the rear of the two-storey house, there is also a small inner courtyard.
The so-called royal palace is like that.
Sparta has a lot of rules and traditions that have been passed down, Wang Jun is not cold, but there is a tradition, Wang Jun experienced it for the first time tonight, and he often likes it.
In the inner courtyard of the royal palace.
Wang Jun sat on a stone bench by the well, while Tina stood beside him with a smile and bathed Wang Jun with well water.
"This tradition, it's so good!" Feeling Tina's warm little hands and looking down at his younger brother who was pointing straight to the night sky, Wang Jun was full of emotion.
After dinner, Wang Jun took full of warm thoughts as the guiding ideology of action, and took practice to bring true knowledge as the program of action, left 12 hoplites, and pulled Tina into the double-story building; **Bitter is short, find joy as soon as possible.
However, Wang Jun was firmly rejected by Tina at the beginning.
For a while, Wang Jun was depressed.
However, I remember an aunt said that the depressed next door is comforting.
It turned out that Tina's alleged refusal was only because she respected the traditions of Sparta.
When a Spartan man and a woman first time, the female surname would be washed by herself, and then she had to wash her own man with her own hands; In other words, it is estimated that only in this case will the Spartans pay attention to hygiene.
What could be more comforting?
Wang Jun's experience is still shallow and he doesn't know; Anyway, Wang Jun felt that this was very comfortable.
Looking sideways, Dina is like a hibiscus out of the water, with her curves exposed.
The Long Night............
Above, 520 words are omitted.
That night, the only remaining king of Sparta was on the balcony of his house, sullenly counting the stars in the sky.
That night, Sparta had one less girl and one more woman.
That night, Wang Jun said goodbye to his first brother and reflected on what a sad thing it was to be a virgin in practice.
That night, the two unsuccessful fools concluded in raising the bar with each other: tomorrow we must focus on the goal and no longer pay attention......
