On the Messer Avenue in Constantinople, where people and cars are constantly flowing, Zhao Ziliang and others are among the crowd.
The weather is hot now.
In order to blend in with the locals, they are all wearing a thin tunica.
During this period, tunicas in the Eastern Roman Empire were available in long-sleeved, short-sleeved and sleeveless styles.
They are all knee-length skirts, which can be worn as underwear in winter.
In hot summer, there are thin ones, which are equivalent to T-shirts in later generations.
In spring and autumn, there are long-sleeved and short-sleeved thick ones, which can be worn as sweatshirts.
Outside, the toga is generally worn outside only when the weather is cool or cold.
Everything below the knees was exposed, and he was also wearing cowhide short boots.
This made Zhao Ziliang feel very uncomfortable and awkward.
Zhao Ziliang, Liu Dan, Zhang Huchen, Bart and others looked at each other, and they all felt that the other party was wearing these clothes.
It was so funny that I couldn't help laughing.
In particular, Liu Shan was not wearing short boots, but a pair of straw sandals.
Zhang Huchen pointed at him and laughed loudly: "Where did these old mud legs come from?"
Liu Dan had an old face and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "Today's young people are really neither big nor small."
Ever since Irina walked out of the envoy's residence, she had become extremely curious.
She didn't care about the worries and feelings of Zhao Ziliang and others.
She was so excited that she ran around and shuttled among the crowd.
After a while, she walked to this stall to take a look.
After looking at the toys, he went to the spice shop to chat with the boss about spices.
When he saw the food, he was so greedy that he drooled like a child, so he dragged Zhao Ziliang to buy it for her.
There were many interesting things on the street, and many folk artists set up a stage to perform on the street.
After Zhao Ziliang and others played for an hour, they found that there were many people surrounding the south of Arcadius Square.
Irina shouted: "Why are there so many people there?
Let's go and take a look, hurry up" Irina said as she walked through the crowd and soon disappeared.
Zhao Ziliang cursed: "These bitches are causing trouble for me.
Zhang Huchen, send two people to follow her quickly.
Don't lose her.
When the time comes, the emperor will If you want your mother from me, what compensation should I give?”
"Yes" Zhang Huchen agreed, and immediately stretched out two fingers to make a gesture forward.
Two people in the endless flow of people followed him quickly and calmly.
There were too many people in the square.
There were performers and people doing business everywhere.
Zhao Ziliang and others finally squeezed into the crowd.
Several pairs of eyes were looking for Irina everywhere.
Bart tugged at Zhao Ziliang's clothes. , Zhao Ziliang turned to look at him, and saw Bart licking his lips not far away.
Zhao Ziliang looked in the direction and finally found Irina, and then he felt relieved.
Even though Irina is almost forty years old, she grew up in a wealthy family in Greece.
When she grew up, she entered the court.
She had little contact with the people and never even went out on the street alone.
Zhao Ziliang was really worried about losing her.
Yes, slave traders are so rampant now.
No slave trader would not be tempted by a beauty of Irina's level.
Only then did Zhao Ziliang feel relieved and wanted to watch this kind of street art performance.
He discovered that this should be a folk theater troupe.

There were a dozen people performing in this group.
The venue was fenced with ropes and was not small.
There were many props and There are actually lions, leopards, tigers, monkeys and elephants among the performance equipment.
These animals are left alone without being tied to cages or chains.
It looks like they have been completely tamed.
"Hey, there are tigers here."
Zhao Ziliang was quite surprised.
It was not surprising to see lions, leopards, monkeys and elephants in Constantinople, because these ferocious beasts can basically be found in the surrounding areas, but the surrounding areas can There are no tigers.
Tigers are mainly distributed in Northeast Asia and South Asia.
The main subspecies are Siberian tiger, South China tiger and Bali tiger.
For Constantinople, these tiger species are all in the far east, and they want to get a tiger here.
Easier said than done Bart was surprised and said: "What is a tiger?"
Zhao Ziliang licked his lips at a tiger lying on the ground that opened and closed its eyes from time to time: "Take that murderer, it's called a tiger in the East."
Bart was surprised and said: "Is this ferocious beast with similar patterns to a leopard called a tiger?
Why do I feel that lions, tigers and leopards look very similar?
Could they be relatives?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Of course, they are all cats.
Don't you think they all look very similar to cats?"
"Yes, no wonder they look very similar."
Bart, a black man, was very happy as if he had discovered something new.
He asked with interest: "Which one of them is more powerful, a lion, a leopard or a tiger?"
" Zhao Ziliang said: "It depends on which aspect you are referring to.
If you only look at the hunting ability, the hunting ability of a single lion is definitely not as good as that of a tiger and a leopard, because these two have always been solitary.
They are alone.
The ability to survive is much stronger than that of a single lion.
Lions are social animals and usually hunt in groups.
From the perspective of combat effectiveness, the individual combat capability of tigers is undoubtedly stronger than that of lions and leopards, because tigers have many combat methods and methods, such as pounce, shoot, catch, and whip. , lions can only bite, leopards are significantly weaker than tigers and leopards in terms of size and physique.”
Bart was thoughtful when he saw a man in black robe walking out of the field.
After some prelude, the man in black robe turned his wrist and suddenly a flower appeared, which made the onlookers marvel.
Bart quickly said to Zhao Ziliang: "Look, this is magic, he can conjure many things."
For Zhao Ziliang, who came from a later generation, these little magic tricks did not arouse much interest in him, but he was surprised that Europeans in this era began to study magic.
The magician uses his humorous language, action gestures, and breathtaking methods to constantly conjure up a variety of objects, some of which are dead objects, and some of which are living objects.
The audience has been extremely amazed by the conjuring of dead objects. , so the transformation of living creatures made the audience excited.
Applauses and applauses continued to ring out from the surrounding crowd.
Zhao Ziliang found it strange that this circus included not only Europeans and Africans, but also Asians, and Asians accounted for more than half of the group.
After the magician in black robe finished his performance, an Oriental woman came out with a dustpan to collect money.
If she wanted to give money, she would pay.
People who didn't want to give money didn't force it.
Many people in the audience were He took out a few copper coins and threw them into the dustpan, and some even dropped silver coins.
Immediately afterwards, a trainer began to drive the lion through the fire ring.
Under the command of the trainer, the lion went through seven fire rings in a row.
Not a single hair was burned during the whole process, which shows how powerful this trainer was.
Zhao Ziliang was watching it with gusto.
Although he had seen many performances in this area in his previous life, this was the first time he saw such acrobatics in this world.
The immersive feeling was completely different from watching TV movies.

At this time, he felt someone tugging on his clothes.
He turned around and saw that Irina had slipped to his side again, so he asked, "What are you doing?"
Irina stretched out her beautiful hand: "Borrow some money."
"What are you borrowing money for?"
Irina licked her lips at the woman who collected the money: "Tip a reward."
Zhao Ziliang was speechless for a while, then took out a few coins from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand: "Take them."
Irina weighed the copper plate in her hand, rolled her eyes and said, "I wonder how stingy you are for just a few copper coins?"
Zhao Ziliang was very happy: "Who do you think you are?
Just give as many rewards as you want."
Irina looked at the few copper coins in her hand and said, "I can't get rid of just these few copper coins."
"That's it, do you like it or not?"
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and ignored her.
At this time, the woman who collected the money walked up to him.
He took out a few coins from his arms and threw them into the dustpan.
Irina quickly threw the few coins in her hand into the dustpan.
The woman looked at Zhao Ziliang and Irina and said quickly: "Thank you, gentlemen."
When the woman who collected the money walked away, Irina poked Zhao Ziliang's arm with her finger and said, "Look, this girl is from your East.
Judging from her dress, she must be from Western Qin."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Isn't it strange that as long as you make money by your own labor, wisdom, and talent, no matter what industry you are in, it is not shameful.
Not only do some of us Western Qin people seek life in the Eastern Roman Empire, but some of them also go to the Frankish Kingdom and the Western Qin Kingdom.
The British Isles and the Saxon lands in the northwest are struggling for life."
While the two were talking, a sudden scream came from the field: "Oh, why are you letting go?"
Zhao Ziliang and Irina stopped talking when they heard the voice.
They immediately turned around and saw that the woman who had just collected the money was being held by a young man wearing a noble badge.
This noble man had a handsome face.
His face was just pale, looking like he was drunk too much.
The aristocratic man held the money-collecting woman's arm and said with a smile: "This oriental beauty, I just watched your dance, and it was really beautiful.
I am short of oriental dancers at home.
Why don't you go to my house and be one?"
Dancing girl bar” When the citizens watching the performance saw this man, they all whispered, "This is the little Count Mela, my God, why did you encounter such a scourge of him?
Walk quickly, walk quickly, it will be over if he catches his eye."
"Oh my god, little Earl Meira is going to do evil again and harm others.
He forcibly arrests countless women every year.
As long as the women he likes, they will definitely not be able to escape his vicious hands."
The other members of the juggling troupe all noticed what was happening here, and they all put down their work and rushed forward.
Even the animal trainer who was performing immediately dropped the lion and ran over.
Although the members of the juggling troupe gathered around, no one dared to touch this young noble.
The huge gap in status and class made them dare not make any overstep.
Only a middle-aged Western Qin man anxiously asked Little Earl Meira cupped his fists and said: "Sir, I am Zhou Danian, the owner of the juggling troupe.
This is my daughter.
I don't know how my daughter has offended you.
If you want to do this, please put your hands down first.
Your behavior is extremely impolite in the East.
It’s a huge insult to women”:
