Chapter 2413 Da Qin is not afraid of any threats
Chapter 2409: Da Qin is not afraid of any threats
【In the previous chapter, the name of the Roman envoy was mistaken. It was not Crassus, but Cicero. It has been changed now. 】
“Dear Your Majesty the Emperor of Qin, the Holy See is not a subordinate of the Roman Empire, and even the Roman Emperor cannot restrain them.
The Holy See has listed the Holy Sword as one of the holy objects of the Church. If Arthur refuses to return the Holy Sword, the experts in the Holy See may go to the Central Plains to retrieve it in person, or even form a crusade again. "Cicero said neither humble nor haughty.
Rome is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is obviously impossible for it to send troops across thousands of miles to conquer the Qin Dynasty just because of a sword.
Even if Rome really had this strength, ordinary armies would not be able to defeat it at all. After all, the supply of food and grass along the way, the climate, etc. are all problems that must be solved, and it is impossible for the countries along the way to let them go.
The only way for Rome to attack Qin was to occupy all the countries along the way, but Rome obviously did not have that strength.
In addition, only an army composed entirely of warriors can be summoned. Only such an army can reach the Central Plains across thousands of miles. After all, the stronger the warriors, the greater their adaptability and action capabilities. powerful.
Rome obviously does not have so many masters, but the Holy See does, and it still has the heart.
Hence, Cicero was not entirely deceiving. It was really possible for the Holy See to form a crusade and come to the East to **** the Holy Sword.
If before proclaiming himself emperor, Cicero had told Ying Hao that the Holy See would start a war because of a sword, he would definitely not have believed it. After all, it was just a sword, not a fairy weapon.
Just because of a sword, it is really ridiculous to waste people and money and fight from the west to the east.
But after becoming the emperor and learning that the top five famous swords among the ten famous swords would improve the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Hao realized that those holy weapons were not that simple. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the cornerstones of the country. .
Hallow weapons from the East can improve a country's destiny, and holy weapons from the West can obviously do the same.
It is not difficult to understand why Rome and the Holy See sent Cicero across thousands of miles to the Central Plains to get a sword.
Severus wanted to rely on the Holy Sword to continue Rome's national destiny.
Rome is already on the verge of subjugation. If it wants to rely on the Holy Sword to continue its national destiny, it is obvious that it cannot give up the Holy Sword. If the Qin Dynasty refuses to return it, the Holy See may indeed form a Crusade for the Eastern Expedition.
Ying Hao has realized this, but still is not ready to return the holy sword to Rome.
Rome is about to be destroyed now. If the return of the Holy Sword continues Rome's national destiny for decades, wouldn't Rome make a lot of money?
Ying Hao hopes that Rome will fall and Europe will become more and more chaotic. It is best to never unify like later generations and continue to divide and fight internally. Therefore, even if the Holy Sword is of no use to him, he will never return the Holy Sword to Rome.
Ying Hao knew that it was possible for the Crusaders to attack, but the civil and military officials present obviously did not think so. They only thought that Cicero was bragging.
Starting a war over a sword? Are you fooling them into thinking they are fools?
The eyes of everyone looking at Cicero became colder and colder, and they thought to themselves: This barbarian is really ungrateful. He still dares to threaten the Qin Dynasty. He really doesn't know how to live or die.
Li Cunxiao walked out with a frosty face, and with all his momentum, the whole hall seemed to shake.
"The Qin Dynasty is not afraid of any threats. The masters of the Western Holy See will come if they come. I would like to see how powerful the strong men in Rome are."
Cicero looked at Li Cunxiao with a horrified expression. Just now, Ying Hao suppressed him with the power of the emperor, which only made him feel as small as an ant, but now the Qin general suppressed him with his momentum, which made him feel as if he could be beaten at any time. Generally shredded.
plegy
Cicero stayed for a long time, unable to speak a single word completely. He was oppressed by Li Cunxiao's momentum, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and he could not even stand.
"General Cunxiao, put your momentum back. Do you still want to kill people in the palace?" Ying Hao said with a faint smile.
“I don’t dare.”
Li Cunxiao clasped his fists in apology, and then regained his momentum. The main hall, which was almost solidified just now, suddenly became relaxed and comfortable again.
Cicero collapsed directly to the ground, looking like he was barely surviving, breathing heavily, and looked at Li Cunxiao with eyes full of fear.
“This general is so powerful that even General Hercules is a little less powerful. The Qin Dynasty has only been established for a year or two, so how could it have such a powerful general.”
Cicero calmed down for a long time before suppressing the fear in his heart. His eyes glanced at Li Cunxiao's side, and Sun Lingming, Jiang Song, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals who were looking at him coldly.
Even though Cicero was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that Qin seemed to have more top generals than Rome.
"Completely lost."
Cicero felt bitter in his heart. He really couldn't believe that Qin, a country that was founded less than two years ago, actually surpassed the Roman Empire in terms of economy, politics, military, and talents.
“No, Rome will be weaker than Qin because of the rebels. As long as the rebellion can be quelled, Rome will definitely overtake Qin.”
Cicero comforted himself so much that he simply ignored the question of whether Qin could destroy the Nine Kingdoms and unify the East.
Cicero took a deep breath, bowed again without being humble or arrogant, and then said:
“Given the strong national power of Great Qin, the many masters of the Holy See and even the Crusaders may not be a big threat, but they are still a trouble after all.
As the overlord of the Central Plains, Da Qin’s real enemies are countries such as Chu, Shu, Yuan and Qing, so why should it get into these unnecessary troubles because of a sword?
Do you think so, Arthur? "
Hearing this, Ying Hao's brows couldn't help but frown. This Roman envoy had something. When coercion failed, he came to morally kidnap him, trying to force Arthur to hand over the Holy Sword voluntarily.
Ying Hao looked at Arthur again. As expected, Arthur's face turned green and red. It was obvious that he was having a fierce battle in his heart.
Arthur obviously didn’t want to hand over the Holy Sword to Rome, but she also didn’t want to cause trouble for Da Qin. After all, she also knew how crazy the people in the Holy See were, so her heart was extremely complicated at this time.
After weighing the pros and cons, Arthur made a decision, stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, in order not to cause trouble to the Qin Dynasty, I am willing to hand over the Holy Sword."
After saying this, Arthur took off the sword from his waist, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he was still ready to hand it to Cicero. But the next moment, a figure appeared in front of her, it was Ying Hao who was sitting on the dragon chair just now.
"when?"
Cicero's eyes widened. He couldn't even notice at all. When did Ying Hao come down? How is it possible that the emperor of a country has such strength?
Ying Hao ignored everyone's surprise, grabbed Arthur's hand, and said seriously: "Great Qin is not afraid of any trouble, not to mention the Phoenix Marquis is the founding prince of Great Qin, your trouble is Great Qin's trouble, no matter who comes to trouble you, Da Qin has taken care of it for you."
Ying Hao just grabbed Arthur's hand in front of Manchao Wenwu, which made her feel very embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
And what Ying Hao said next moved Arthur even more. In his eyes when he looked at Ying Hao, besides loyalty, there was something else.
Arthur knelt down and performed a knight's salute, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Phoenix Marquis and heroine general, Artoria Pendragon, is willing to become your majesty's guardian knight and swear allegiance to your majesty to the death."
The ministers of the Qin Dynasty did not understand the meaning of knightly etiquette, but Cicero, as a Roman envoy, knew that it represented loyalty and undying loyalty until death, and was the highest etiquette of knights.
Cicero never expected that King Arthur, who was so powerful in Europe, was not subdued by Alexander or the Roman emperor, but would eventually be subdued by the emperor of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
Before Arthur served for the Qin Dynasty, Cicero thought it was a last resort, but now that the highest knightly etiquette has been displayed, it is obvious that Arthur has really joined the Qin Dynasty.
After Ying Hao helped Arthur up, he saw her fiery eyes and was stunned.
With his experience with women, he naturally understands what this kind of look means. She is greedy for his body.
Hello Arthur, I am so sincere that I treat you as a brother, but you are greedy for my body.
Sure enough, boys still have to protect themselves.
But to be honest, the current Arthur is indeed much more attractive than before, and it is also very in line with Ying Hao's aesthetics.
When Ying Hao first met Arthur, even though she was short and her **** were still small, even though her appearance was exquisite, Ying Hao didn't have any bad thoughts about her.
But now Arthur has fully grown, and his appearance has become more refined. With his thin waist, long legs, big breasts, and blond hair, he is full of exotic charm.
Even Ying Hao, who has seen countless women, can't help but feel moved by it.
Ying Hao shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his heart, then took the holy sword from Arthur's hand, turned to look at Cicero, and said: "Messenger, go back and tell you the emperor of Rome and the pope that this holy sword will be the master of the Qin Dynasty from now on." Yes.
If you want to come and rob, just come, but it is easy to come but not so easy to go back. The millions of troops of Qin Dynasty will let them know what it means to come back and never come back. "
Having said that, Ying Hao returned the holy sword to Arthur, not caring about the threats from Rome and the Holy See.
As for whether the Western Holy See will really organize a crusade to **** the Holy Sword because of it?
Ying Hao instead hoped that the Crusaders would come and fight for no other reason than that in his opinion, the Western Holy See was not a threat at all.
Even if the Holy See can form a crusade with all its members being masters, how many people can there be? There will not be more than 50,000 people who can survive to death, and the most who can survive to the Central Plains is 40,000.
How much threat can these 40,000 men pose to the Qin Dynasty, which has millions of soldiers? Even relying on human lives to pile them up can kill them.
Besides, it is not that there are no masters in the East. There are hundreds of schools of thought and various sects. These forces can all be mobilized after Ying Hao unifies them.
If the Crusaders really dare to attack, Ying Hao will use this as an excuse to unify hundreds of schools and martial arts, and use their strength to annihilate all the invading Crusaders, allowing a whole generation of Western talents to stay in the East.
Cicero looked at Ying Hao blankly, not expecting that it would develop like this.
Arthur was already ready to return the Holy Sword on his own initiative, but instead he was blocked by the Emperor of Qin.
The emperor in the East is very particular about keeping his word. Since the emperor has already said so, it is obviously impossible for him to bring the holy sword back.
Cicero was a little discouraged, but he had no choice but to give up the Holy Sword and turn to other pursuits.
“Your Majesty the Emperor, since you are unwilling to return the Holy Sword, why don’t you sell some skills to the foreign ministers so that they can go back and deliver the mission?” Cicero asked with a flattering look on his face.
Ying Hao was amused by his face. Just now, this guy had threatened and even kidnapped Arthur morally. But now he was showing such a disgusting face. He could only be said to be shameless and invincible.
Buying and selling technology was the job of the Commercial and Trade Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Ying Hao obviously would not lower his status to talk about this, so he sent him away directly and asked Mi Zhu to talk to Cicero, but it was impossible to sell everything, just Will sell some useless outdated technology.
Cicero talked with Mi Zhu for a long time, but still could not reach an agreement.
The price Da Qin asked for was too high. Even the cheapest printing technology cost ten thousand gold. Cicero was not stupid and could not let Mi Zhu kill him at will.
After being disgraced by Mi Zhu, Cicero was unwilling to return home in disgrace, so he continued to send envoys to the Wei, Ming and Song Dynasties, but in the end only Cao Cao met him.
Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin heard that they were envoys from Rome, but they didn't even bother to meet Cicero. After all, the Roman Empire was strong, and the west, which was thousands of miles away, had nothing to do with the east.
Cicero can only buy from Wei, but Cao Wei's price is not much cheaper than that of Da Qin, and he only sells obsolete technology, and the latest iron and steel making methods are not sold to the outside world.
After much thought, Cicero only bought papermaking and printing technology from Wei, but he agreed with Wei that he would buy more technology the next time he came back.
Before leaving Wei, Cicero secretly took away a lot of new grains, hoping to bring high-yield grains from the Central Plains back to the west. As a result, he was attacked just after leaving Wei.
Of the 300 guards, only a dozen were killed. All the wealth, gold and silver, was also looted. The book recording the art of papermaking was also destroyed in the war.
If the guards had not fought to the death, Cicero would probably have died. After escaping, he still didn't understand that someone was warning him not to touch things that he shouldn't touch.
Cicero no longer dared to stay in the Central Plains any longer, and could only return to Rome empty-handed. It was not until they left the Western Regions that the Black Ice Terrace spy in charge of surveillance returned.
