Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Famous Scene That Was Interrupted
The originally joyful atmosphere of the banquet suddenly stopped, and the faces of the Spartans present became slightly displeased, and it was obvious that they did not like the visit of the Persians.
Leonidas lowered his glass, "The Spartans shouldn't keep their guests waiting, let's go and greet them." ”
Leonidas took the lead and walked out, everyone else put down their food and went out, Qin Rongshuai also followed, he didn't want to miss that classic scene, after all, watching on the screen was completely different from the feeling of watching at the scene.
Qin Rongshuai stood on the steps in front of the banquet hall, and saw a pair of Persians galloping on horseback from a distance, and the villain Councilor Theron was running hard behind, trying to keep up with the Persians.
The Persians rode their horses to the banquet hall until they reined in the reins, and the two front hooves of the horses were raised high, and the faces of the Spartans became very ugly.
However, something even more outrageous happened, the Persian envoy took out a string of air-dried heads from his horse, and wore a crown on them, and the Persian envoy carried this string of heads, showed them with an arrogant expression, and threw them on the ground.
The Spartans turned blue one by one, and they pressed their hands on their swords, glaring at the Persian envoys, eager to go up and chop them directly into meat sauce.
That's when Councillor Theron came running over, shouting out a little breathlessly, "Persia...... Emissary...... Arrive! ”
The Persian envoy then jumped off his horse and saluted very perfunctorily.
King Gogo looked at Theron sarcastically, "Councilor Theron, you've finally found your usefulness. ”
Theron said he was suddenly embarrassed, and he struggled to explain, "Well, I'm just entertaining guests, and I don't want people to say we're rude, Your Majesty the King and Queen. ”
Leonidas immediately interjected, "You're doing a good job, Councilor Theron. ”
Councilor Theron also has his own side of power in Sparta, as a mature king, Leonidas naturally will not let him not come down in public, otherwise it will not be Theron in the face, but the face of the forces behind him.
The Persian envoy was just about to open his mouth to speak, when Leonidas suddenly interrupted him, "Persians, before you open your mouth to speak, you had better think clearly, in Sparta, even the king's messenger cannot open his mouth, so what are you doing in Sparta?" ”
The Persian envoy exaggerated his arms and said proudly: "Earth and water." ”
Leonidas sneered, "You came all the way to Sparta just for the earth and water? ”
The Persian envoy was about to open his mouth, but Gogo immediately interrupted him, "Persians, don't beat around the bush in front of the Spartans, and say your intentions directly. ”
The Persians were furious, "Why is there a woman here who interjects, are you Spartan women so ignorant of the rules?" ”
Gogo immediately retorted, "Because only a Spartan woman can give birth to a real man." ”
The Persians were annoyed and angry, and they were about to have a seizure, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter next to them, and everyone turned their heads strangely to see Qin Rongshuai lazily leaning on the pillar, smiling very happily, and his demeanor was almost holding a piece of watermelon in his hand.
"Qin, what are you laughing at?" Leonidas asked with some curiosity.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I couldn't hold back." Qin Rongshuai said with a smile, "In my hometown, there is a group of people who often claim that they are too poor to live, and can only survive by eating soil, or they can't even drink water, and can only quench their thirst by drinking wind. Just now this Persian said that he wanted soil and water, and I thought that the Persians were already poor and had no choice but to go to Sparta to beg and eat some soil and water, hahaha. ”
When the Spartans heard this, they all burst into laughter, and even Leonidas couldn't help laughing.
The Persian envoy's face turned green with anger, and when he saw that Qin Rongshuai was only wearing an ordinary robe without any decorations on his body, he immediately roared, "Sparta has no rules like this, any woman and lowly person can wantonly humiliate a messenger, the great Persian envoy." ”
Qin Rongshuai's face sank for a moment, and he said coldly, "What did you just say, Persian, I'll give you another chance to speak." ”
"Bang la", the sound of the blade coming out of the sheath sounded, and Qin Ruishi came out of the crowd and raised his long sword.
Looking at the resolute and murderous Da Qin Ruishi, the Persians' hearts were cold, and they subconsciously took a step back, and then they were furious, "You dare to threaten the Persian envoy......"
"Persians!" Leonidas interrupted the Persians again, "Before you is another foreign envoy to remind you that he is from China, a country east of Persia, which is larger than Persia. ”
"You've just offended him, and now you're going to have a diplomatic dispute with him, and if you insist, we can provide a venue for you to fight, so do you choose whether to continue with the message, or do you have to fight first?"
The expression of the Persian envoy froze, and he couldn't say the rest of the words anymore, and after weighing it for a long time, he glared at Qin Rongshuai viciously, "Dongfang, be careful, when you return to China and pass through Persia, I will treat you well." ”
"I'm going to send you back to your hometown right now." Qin Rongshuai directly pulled out Xueliang's machete.
"Wait. Leave this matter to me, my friend. Leonidas held out his hand to stop him, turned to the Persian envoy and said, "You can go on." ”
The Persian envoy was very depressed, and if you hadn't interrupted me, I would have finished speaking.
The Persian envoy adjusted his mood and said haughtily: "If you still cherish the lives of you and your subjects, you have listened carefully......"
Qin Rongshuai lazily interjected: "What, you are now threatening the Spartans again?" ”
“……”
The Persian envoy rolled his eyes in anger, and even the mood that had just been brewing was interrupted, and he forgot what he wanted to say later.
Leonidas had a calm face and asked directly: "Persian, hurry up, what do you want to say?" ”
"Uh...... King Xerxes conquered everything...... Uh, our army...... Uh, the mountains shake, uh, the rivers are drained...... the Persian messenger tried to remember for a long time, and at last he said in exasperation, "In short, offer earth and water as a sign of submission." ”
"Surrender?" Leonidas raised his eyebrows, suppressing his anger, "I heard that Athens has rejected you, since a bunch of philosophers and sissies can reject you, what makes you think that the Spartans will agree, by the heads of those dead kings, or by your threats." ”
The Persian envoy exclaimed, "Leonidas, you had better be careful when you speak...... What are you, what are you going to do? ”
Leonidas drew his sword and pointed it at the Persian messenger, and the rest of the Spartans drew their swords and surrounded the Persian mission.
"You...... Are you going to threaten the messengers of Persia? The Persian envoy's body trembled, trying to maintain his composure, "You madman. ”
"Crazy?" A grim smile appeared at the corner of Leonida's mouth, "This is ......"
"Wait a minute!" , Qin Rongshuai suddenly said loudly, "Your Majesty, let me kill him." ”
Leonidas was stunned for a moment, only to feel that something seemed to be wrong, and his heart was very awkward, as if someone suddenly interrupted you when he was experiencing something very cool.
It's just that Leonidas has a good impression of Qin Rongshuai, and he is a guest, since he made a request, Leonidas, as the host, has no choice but to satisfy him. Leonidas then withdrew his sword and stepped aside with the other Spartans.
Qin Rongshuai strode forward with a cold face, looking at the panicked Persian, he showed a weird smile, and now is my performance moment, "Where is my Great Qin Ruishi!" ”
"The last general!"
Da Qin Ruishi pressed forward with neat steps.
