Chapter 852: Come, stand and stab


At this moment, the arena was already crowded, and the noble characters had not yet appeared, but it was impossible to let the audience get bored, and the person in charge of the arena arranged a colossal performance.

In fact, in the early days, the Colosseum was indeed called the Colosseum, and it was originally a battle between man and beast, so it is not wrong to call it the Colosseum.

The colosseum show being performed is a squad working together against a male lion.

The squad consisted of five men, two with swords and shields, one with fishing nets and harpoons, and the other two with heavy axes.

They seem to have cooperated for a long time, basically a sword and shield and a long-handled heavy axe as a group, the two teams cooperate to provoke or attack the lion, and the single fishnet and harpoon player is cruising all the time.

Whenever a member of the squad is in danger, or a lion is attacked by a squad member, the audience in the arena will cheer.

In order to get cheers, the gladiator of the fighting beast performed all kinds of deaths, such as the sword and shield hand can obviously dodge the lion's claw slap, but he just puts on a posture of raising the shield to defend the body, and the person is slapped and flies backwards.

It seemed quite thrilling, but he didn't actually suffer any damage, and he was all taken by the shield.

Death also requires skill, and some extremely dangerous things gladiators don't do.

For example, the lion pounces must be avoided, or he will be pounced on by the lion and pressed under him, even if he is not killed by the mouth full of sharp teeth, the person is knocked down and pressed under the body by hundreds of pounds of weight, and then torn by the sharp claws, it is really going to die.

The cheers reached the lobby where the banquet was taking place, but the crowd was not attracted at all, and they could now discard the inconsequential matters and focus on the big events that were about to happen, such as the follow-up intention of the Han envoys to send Helena's clothes.

Wang Meng only made this move after consulting with the high-level of the envoys, and it was only a trivial signal, and it was impossible for him to ask him to ask for his marriage.

After all, exchanges between countries need to grasp the initiative, and often the party that speaks first loses the initiative.

There are some things that Wang Meng can do.

He saw that Helena was wearing Hanfu by mistake, and motioned for Cai Mian to come over and talk.

Helena, knowing that she was wearing the wrong outfit, blushes like an apple.

She awkwardly accepted Cai Mian's suggestion, which was to be corrected by the maids on the Han side.

The Han envoys were not all men, and they were accompanied by twenty women.

Their origins are somewhat complicated, there are female officials from the Ouchi Deep Palace, and there are also maids carried by the high-ranking members of the envoy corps.

The entire legation numbered nearly three thousand, and there were only twenty women to imagine how rare it was, and each one of them was protected like a treasure, and there was no need for it to be exposed to the public at all.

After a trip to Persian Sasani, the number of Han envoys increased again and again, especially the number of women, and later evolved into Han women to manage the maids sent by Persian Sassanids and the female slaves they bought.

What kind of temperament this person has depends entirely on whether he has power and money in his hands.

A beautiful woman, but she dresses ordinarily, and some words and deeds are not good, giving people the impression that she will only be rustic.

Average-looking women, who are well-dressed and full of confidence, are bound to give a good impression.

Any Han woman in the envoys, even if she was introverted and shy before, will become confident after gaining management experience, and will at least give the impression of being down-to-earth and generous.

There is no doubt that the debut of the women of the Han family amazed the Romans, dressed as a proper court maid, and the confidence shown in their words and deeds was not only the difference in dress with Roman women, but also the excitement brought by the sense of curiosity, and the two completely different styles were extremely attractive to the Romans.

Helena, who had left to make the necessary corrections, reappeared, and her appearance this time was far more eye-catching than the last one.

It was a kind of momentum and aura that the Han woman carried out from the side, and then Helena had just received a short lesson in Han etiquette and knew what kind of pace she should use to walk in Han costumes.

It's the person who leads to it, but everyone sees Helena as if she's a different person.

The women of the Han family are dressed in formal clothes, and they never swing their arms when they walk, and their steps are not too open.

The correct way to walk is to put your arms on the lower abdomen, step on small broken steps, and raise your head slightly when necessary, and the whole posture is full of the beauty of etiquette.

"This is my Helena" Constantius II was really surprised, he looked at Helena's changed hairstyle, and looked at the falling ponytail hairstyle on his head, and when he saw the jewelry that was not simple to make, he couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful" The hairstyle of the falling horse bun was popular in the Western Han Dynasty, and it became the mainstream of women's hairstyles for a long time, especially the most popular among aristocratic women.

On the Romans' side, men basically had short hair, which could be inch-haired, mostly small; Women, like other ethnic groups, have the habit of keeping long hair, and they don't want to bother to wear their hair directly, and some of them are tied with braids of various patterns, especially long braids with multiple strips are the most popular.

Helena compared her long braid hairstyle, which tended to be ponytail, and then looked at Helena's falling ponytail bun, which was full of beauty, and instantly burned with jealousy.

Constantius II thought that the time had come, walked up to Wang Meng, and asked, "Han envoy, is my Helena beautiful?"

"Yes, His Majesty the Great Qin."

Wang Meng did not go against his heart: "In terms of the aesthetics of the Han Dynasty, Her Excellency Princess Helena is indeed very beautiful. ” "She's the jewel of my palm."

Constantius II was visibly overjoyed to get the answer he wanted: "Still a treasure of Rome." ” This is not the same as what Wang Meng knew, what he knew was that Helena had always been a marginal figure, and was even disgusted by Constantius II.

However, the truth is that it doesn't matter what is going on, you can only play happily by being polite, and to tell the truth is to dismantle the stage.

There was nothing wrong with Wang Meng calling Constantius II "His Majesty", and after Constantine I, Augustus in Rome usually wore a crown on his head on formal occasions.

The throne on this side of Rome has no "majesty", not even steps, what is it called if you don't call your crown.

So far, the title of the crown is not specifically used to refer to the clergy, and it has to be reformed later by the 1st Governor and 1st Church, such as learning Augustus and making some "crowns" to wear.

There is another thing, the Ji 1 Governor and 1 Sect have not designed a humanoid angel who is either a messenger of the Son of Heaven or a birdman with wings.

They don't even have the name angel now, but some of the "angels" are designed.

The early angels and the angels after the Renaissance are two different things, and the early angels are from some Greek mythology, usually some strange images, such as the body of an animal and a human face, or even not even a human face, the modern angel image is a product of the Renaissance.

It must be said that the early angels had their own names or code names, and they were not uniformly called angels.

The arrival of the Han envoys amazed countless races and gave them unparalleled imagination, and the first to be inspired was the Persian Sassanids.

For example, Zoroastrianism thinks that the Holy Fire is not as high as the angels, so should it be changed to a different name?

Arabs, Serbs, Gypsies, Jews, some peoples who do not have their own country, and even do not belong to their own religion, they have seen the privilege of the angel of the Han and heard of the power of the Han Empire in the distance, and they are extremely envious of the title "angel", which will also play a key role in subsequent historical events.

If you want to say which side was extremely shocked, it was undoubtedly the Ji 1 Governor 1 Jiao who had a direct conflict with the Han envoys, they saw the fearlessness and fearlessness of the Han envoys, saw the extreme self-confidence, and constantly slandered and scolded on their mouths, but in their hearts they longed for those qualities, and almost subconsciously decided that we should also have such people, if such people could not appear, we would illusory such a person or a group.

For the Christianity, the belief itself is based on the "virtual", and the "Lord" can constantly supplement and improve, and then make up a group of non-existent but beautiful creatures, which is not a matter at all.

At this moment, the issue of how to fabricate a group of great creatures has been repeatedly launched before the Han envoys arrived, and the appearance of the Han envoys instantly made the eyes of that group of people shine, and the qualities they want have been greatly supplemented by Wang Meng.

I don't know what stubbornness means, they think that the envoys of the Son of Heaven are angels, so we "Lord" must also have angels, or infinite.

Don't take it seriously In the lobby, the invited clergy had been in the corner, and most of the time they watched the Han people's every move, and only occasionally a few people interacted with each other.

"Since the Han Chinese came to Constantinople, they have always held the greatest initiative, and everyone, including Augustus, has become a foil."

"Yes, like now, Helena is just wearing Han costumes, and she has become the focus of the audience."

They didn't want to do anything more, not cowardly, but all the nobles who had interests entangled with them made a statement, the Han people may be evil, but the wealth of the Han people is not evil, the most important thing at present is to obtain goods from the Han people, resell them all over the world, and create their own wealth.

For the Romans, who have long had no sense of honor, in order to obtain benefits, let alone patience or restraint, even if they really admit it, it is nothing, I don't know how many Romans heard the rumors, in order not to be excluded from this feast, they all had the mind to change their faith.

Once the Han people really made it clear that they did not welcome the Christianity, including the believers, with the current Romans' urine, believe it or not, the Christianity would usher in a great recession In order to avoid such a thing, Bishop Child's task today is to resolve the hostility with the Han Chinese, and for this reason he also specially invited Maleus, who had a relationship with most of the Han high-ranking officials, as an intermediary.

On the other hand, Constantius II has been guiding the topic, but Wang Meng didn't say anything as if he didn't understand, not to mention how depressed Constantius II was.

Helena has a new change, no matter what her inner emotions are, she shows a full Roman lady's demeanor, occasionally talking to her, every sentence is inseparable from the praise and yearning for the Han Kingdom.

Julian, who acted as an interpreter, was uncomfortable all the time, he did not dare to guarantee that the other Romans present could not speak Chinese, and his own Chinese was limited to ordinary communication, and he could not give some profound hints, so he could only continue to be uncomfortable.

Constantius II, who had not achieved his goal, wisely changed the subject and asked, "Did Julian inform you before?"

The loss is that Wang Meng's thinking ability is enough, otherwise he would really be asked by such an abrupt sentence.

Without beating around the bush, he said: "The Persians should not appear, no matter what form the Han side takes, there is no problem at all." ” In order not to further irritate the Romans, the Persians remained on board for now.

"Then," Constantius II looked at Gallus, as if to indicate or hint at something, and then looked at Wang Meng again: "In order to have a wonderful performance, we will include individual battles and team battles. ” Wang Meng smiled and said, "The Han people don't mind showing their martial side. ” At this time, Constantius II was even more unhappy.

To be reasonable, the Han people came to the capital of Rome, and Peter's words were no matter how ugly they were, the Han people directly rioted in the capital of others, especially those who did not kill any of the Ji 1 Governor and 1 Sect, and they were all Roman soldiers.

Going to war without any hesitation in someone's capital caused the whole capital to fall into chaos, that is, Constantius II could endure, but there is a limit to anyone's patience.

There are many reasons why Constantius II chose to be patient, from the perspective of sitting on the throne of Augustus, he did not want the Han State to really become an iron alliance with the Persian Sassanids, and then it was such a thing that was conducive to his suppression of the Christianity, and more importantly, the benefits of trade.

Face is given to each other, Constantius II thinks that he has given face very much, what can Wang Meng do if he bows his head slightly.

"It seems that only by giving the greatest amount of blood will the Han people come to their senses" Constantius II almost gritted his teeth and said to Gallus: "All the people of Constantinople are on your list, you must kill all the Han people in the arena" Gallus saluted and said yes, but looked at Julian.

Julian responded to Gallus with a nod that he needed to curry favor with the Han Chinese in order to achieve some of his goals, but also felt that the current method of communication was not reasonable
