PS: I only found out today that because the update was too fast, it exceeded the word limit of PK, and I couldn't get on PK, oh my God........
Just when Li Lu was touring Qiuzi and preparing to enter Chang'an for the second time, the arrival of a man forced him to return to Broken Leaves, and the person who came was Sergio, an envoy sent by the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius.
Prushak, who had been sent to the Western Turkic Khanate on the orders of Heraclius, but when he reached Barangar, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, he heard the news that the Western Turkic Khanate had been destroyed by the Tenkun people from the north.
Prussiac had no choice but to return to Constantinople to communicate, Heraclius was shocked to learn the news of the destruction of his strategic ally Western Turkic Khanate, and it happened that at this time the news came that the Khazar Khanate, the closest ally of the Eastern Romans, had been attacked, and Heraclius could not sit still, so he re-sent Sergio.
Prussia traveled eastward to explore the details of the Lower Jiankun people.Sergio.
It was against this background that Prussia passed through the territory of the Khazars and came to the city of Khiva under the rule of Li Lu, and the garrison Kang Xin (this defender was a Sogdian who had followed Li Lu for a long time) after learning of the arrival of the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, hurriedly informed Li Lu, who was far away in Broken Leaves, and sent troops to escort the Eastern Roman envoy eastward.In ancient times, envoys to another country did not have advanced means of transportation such as airplanes and high-speed railways as in later generations.
If the envoys of a great power like Prushak were better, they could go on horseback, and if they were more miserable, they even had to walk.Sergio.
Prushak traveled east during the day, escorted by the soldiers of Cenkun, and at night he wrote down what he saw on parchment with a quill under an oil lamp.He walked all the way, wrote all the way, let's see what the Eastern Roman envoy wrote in his diary, the following is his diary, so the author should be changed to the first person.The city of Connecticut was originally built by the Sogdian royal city of Sama, and Alexander the Great visited here a thousand years ago, leaving behind "everything I have heard is true, except that Samarkand is more magnificent than I imagined." ”Admiration........
Killed four years ago at the hands of the Kinkun people, who tore down everything they didn't want to do and rebuilt the city, and according to the soldiers who accompanied them, the new city was three times larger than the original.......
The new city is carved out of huge stone blocks (Prussia didn't know that it was the cement developed by Li Lu and Daomen on the basis of their Roman cement), and the whole city has an eerie blue-black color, and there are about 100,000 to 200,000 people in the city, and most of the inhabitants make a living from business, and they believe in a mysterious religion called Taoism from the distant kingdom of Seris, which is said to have come from the same family as His Majesty the Emperor of the Seris Kingdom and the Great Khan of the Jiankun Kingdom, and they both believe in this mysterious religion.There is a large gold mine near the city of Connecticut, and it is said that the gold produced there supplied the expenses of the entire royal family and nobles of Jiankun Khan, and in the mountains east of the city there is lapis lazuli, which can produce azure cyanine, which is the best cyanosis in the world that I know, and the quality is very high.In addition, the production of silver and lead ore is extremely abundant, and the climate in winter is quite cold, much colder than that of Constantinople.The horses here are very good, they run like flying, their hooves are so hard that they don't even need to nail iron palms, and the strangest thing is that the sweat of these horses is blood-red, and for this reason they call these good horses sweat and blood horses.On slopes where other livestock can't or dare not run, locals ride these horses to gallop around.According to the locals, not so long ago, they still had the remnants of Alexander's famous horse, Bulhan Faraz.This type of horse is born with a special mark on its forehead.But most of the horses were in the hands of one of the former kings of Kangguo, who was executed for refusing to give them to his nephew.Uncle Wang's widow was enraged by this massacre, and destroyed all those precious horse breeds, originally people thought that when the Biaohan Falas horse was extinct, the Jiankun people destroyed the Kang country, they found dozens of relict horses in the mountains, under the order of the great khan of Broken Leaf City, the horse herders took care of these precious horses like treasures, but unfortunately I did not see this precious horse, so I followed the sergeants who escorted me on the road.I have to say that the country of Jiankun is too big, and it is almost necessary to keep up with the Roman Empire under the rule of Emperor Trajan, but their population is a little small, otherwise, this will inevitably become a great enemy of our Romans after Sassanid Persia, thank God, it is said that their whole country is only three million men, women and children, and they do not directly border the empire.......
On the twenty-third day of entering the Jiankun Khanate, I finally arrived at the seat of the royal court of the Jiankun Khanate, the city of Broken Leaves, which is very large, I estimate that it is about three to five Constantinople the size, unlike our Roman cities, the layout of this city is very regular, from the mountain, you can find that the city of Broken Leaves is a rectangular city that is long and narrow from east to west, slightly shorter from north to south, and the whole city is symmetrically distributed with the palace of the Great Khan of Jiankun as the center, and it is obvious that the person who supervised the construction of this city was a great engineer.The royal palace of the Great Khan, built with marble and various beautiful stones, is exquisitely designed and lavishly decorated, which is breathtaking.All the halls and rooms of this palace are gilded (poor Sergio.
Prussia had no idea that there was a dye called gold lacquer), which was magnificently decorated.The palace faced the city on one side and the city wall on the other, and was surrounded on all sides by walls, enclosing a square that was thirteen miles long.There is no other way to access the square than from the palace.This square is the back garden of the Great Khan, with its fertile and beautiful pastures, and many small streams running through it.Deer and goats graze here, and they feed eagles and other birds of prey that hunt and inhabit this garden.In addition to eagles, there are more than 200 species of other birds.As long as you live in Shangdu, I heard that the Great Khan comes here every week.Since I had come at the wrong time, the Great Khan had gone to inspect his eastern regions, so I was received by their prime minister, a wise elder, who told me that in five days their Great Khan would return from the distant city of Qiuzi to meet me, so I had to wait.Taking advantage of this opportunity, I began to investigate this mysterious country, there is no doubt that Jiankun is a great power, otherwise they would never have destroyed the Western Turkic Khanate, which had previously dominated one side, and I came from the west to find that there were many narrow passes and fortresses in this khanate, which could be used to resist the armed invasion of any foreign enemy.Their inhabitants were fine archers and dexterous hunters, and unlike the Persians and Khazars, although they were also nomads, they seemed to be very rich, and many of them even wore silk, and God was really unfair, and they were a group of pagans, and they made them so rich.Near their royal court, the rolling hills became pastures for countless antelopes, and they were wild in groups of four, five hundred, or even six hundred, and although they were captured and slaughtered in large numbers, they were not few.There is a kind of falcon in the mountains called Sachael Saker, which is an excellent bird of prey and is good at flying; There is also a species of falcon called Langlie, which is very numerous.In addition, there is a short-winged eagle species and a harrier.I found that almost all of them were good hunters, and many of them had a falcon perched on their shoulders.Jiankun also produces excellent wheat and a barley without seed buds.Although they don't have olive oil, they squeeze it out of some hard-shelled fruit and something called flax seeds.This kind of flaxseed is very similar to flaxseed except for its bright color, but the oil it produces is of higher quality, and tastes better than any other oil.
