king of war

Chapter 14 Night Visitor (please collect and recommend tickets)

"Huh!" Qin Rongshuai turned over and collapsed on the thick Persian carpet exhausted. His whole body was covered with sweat beads and he panted heavily.

The Amazon female warrior is worthy of being a legendary fighting race, with extremely strong physical fitness. With the body strengthened by Qin Rongshuai's system, she was quickly defeated.

After drinking a few glasses of wine at dinner, Qin Rongshuai felt like he was floating. People say they want to exercise after being full and warm. He thought that he was in this war-torn time and space, and that he might be in danger one day.

So he was secretly vigilant in his heart, he must not be paralyzed, he must maintain a strong combat effectiveness at all times, and at the same time, he must continue to learn and improve.

Although he had learned fighting and assassination training while serving, he was still not as good as the professional soldiers who played with knives in this cold weapon era. In addition, after watching the battle between the female warrior and Qin Ruishi in the past two days, he felt that his two Brushes are not allowed on the countertop.

So he brought in five female fighters and had an intense after-dinner multiplayer exercise to improve his hand-to-hand combat skills.The Amazon female warrior's swordsmanship is at the intermediate level, which is enough for a rookie like him to conduct instructive training.

Seeing that a basic swordsmanship was added to his skill list, he was really refreshed. Qin Rongshuai, who was in a happy mood, jumped into the bath and took a comfortable flower petal bath.

Just when Qin Rongshuai was about to fall asleep, a female warrior walked into the room and announced, "Master, Themistocles, the consul of Athens, is here. He came through the back door."

Qin Rongshuai sat up all of a sudden, and he was a little confused. What was Themis doing here? If he wanted to visit him, he could do it openly, so why did he have to come in through the back door.

However, if a dignified Athenian consul came to visit at night, he must have something important to discuss with him.

So Qin Rongshuai stood up all of a sudden, picked up his clothes, and while putting them on, he ordered: "Bring the man to my room."

After Qin Rongshuai was fully dressed, Demis was also led into his room.He didn't come alone, there were two people behind him, all wearing hoods, hiding their faces in the shadows.

After seeing this attire, Qin Rongshuai froze for a moment, and the other party's attire further confirmed his guess.

After taking off his hood, Themis said a little apologetically: "I am very presumptuous to visit you and disturb your rest. Please accept my apology, Your Majesty the Messenger."

"No, you don't need to feel sorry, Your Excellency the Consul." Qin Rongshuai smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "A wise man in our country said that it is a very happy thing to have friends coming from afar."

Demis also showed a smile after hearing this, "It is my honor to have your friendship, and thank you for your generosity towards today's unhappiness."

"Let him go about the past." Qin Rongshuai laughed, "After all, I came here from a long distance to find friendship, not hatred."

"You are really a wise philosopher." Themis complimented.

"You didn't come to see me in the middle of the night to discuss philosophy with me, did you?" Qin Rongshuai was still not used to this kind of politeness, so he asked straight to the point.

"I really came to see you for something. I wonder if the horses you brought here will be resold?" Themis said his intention straightforwardly.

"Well..." Qin Rongshuai showed a troubled expression, "These horses are good partners who have followed me for thousands of miles, going through life and death, and charging into battle..."

"I'll pay a high price for it."

"How could I sell these war horses for mere money?"

"Fifty gold coins a horse."

"Deal, these horses are yours." Qin Rongshuai slapped the table hard, picked up a glass of wine, "Cheers to this deal."

The two sides happily finalized the transaction. Demis got [-] war horses, and Qin Rongshuai got [-] Darius gold coins. Both parties were very happy.

As for whether these horses were really worth the price, Qin Rongshuai didn't care, because he knew that Themis must have something to ask of him, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous.Themis comes from a wealthy businessman family and likes to use money to clear the way.

Seeing Qin Rongshuai's smiling face, Demis put down his wine glass, "Your Excellency, you came to Athens this time not only for friendship."

"I came here for friendship, and even more for trade." Qin Rongshuai laughed, "I brought some gifts to Athens."

Speaking, Qin Rongshuai took out two bags of white flower crystals and placed them in front of Themis. The consul and his entourage looked at the two bags curiously, their eyes full of doubts, until a person stretched out his finger He twisted some crystals and put them in his mouth.

"This is...salt!" a follower shouted, "Why is salt so white and pure?"

"Is this honey?" Another follower also exclaimed, "It's so sweet, why is it white?"

Themis looked at Qin Rongshuai in shock. There was no shortage of salt in Greece, but he had never seen such white as snow salt grains, fine powder, pure taste, without the slightest bitterness.

There is also another bag of sweet white powder crystals, like the best quality honey, when those crystal particles melt in the mouth, the explosive feeling, the pleasure from the inside out is incomparable to any food of.

Salt, a necessity of human life.Sugar is an irresistible temptation.

Qin Rongshuai directly grabbed the opponent's heart with these two things. In addition to the impact on the taste, he also took out a piece of silk and a set of exquisite porcelain dishes.

Themis's eyes immediately turned red. He carefully caressed the items in front of him with both hands, as if caressing a lover. "This soft and smooth cloth, this smooth and exquisite pottery, these are all brought from the far east." Of?"

"This is called silk, the best fabric in the world. This is not pottery, it's called porcelain." Qin Rongshuai spread his hands and said proudly, "These are all produced in my country, Huaxia."

"Where is Huaxia, how far is it from Greece, and which way can we get there?" Demis asked impatiently. He made up his mind that even if Huaxia is far away, no, no matter how far it is, we must open up trade routes.

In Themis' view, it is a trade route flowing with gold. As long as it can be connected with China, a steady stream of silk, porcelain and sugar will flow from Athens to the entire Mediterranean, to the entire Europe and Africa, and there will be countless The clear gold will flow into Athens.

Athens will become the well-deserved leader of the entire Greece and the entire Mediterranean, and as the biggest contributor to the development of trade routes, he will definitely be supported by the citizens of Athens, and his status will be more stable.

Qin Rongshuai looked at Demis's ever-changing expression, and smiled secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the money is touching. He just cast the bait, and the big fish took the bait. It's time to reel in.

So Qin Rongshuai pretended to be very sorry and sighed, "What a pity, now we have a problem."
