A nobleman of Chuni, who had been lying in a state of injury for several months, suddenly spoke a Greek word, which was not inferior to the savage Pacific tribe chief, suddenly said, "how.do.  you.  do'. In surprise, Neacas laughed loudly, Crimenides frowned deeper and deeper, Zaras and Sogdian were confused, only the doctor Theofrastus was not so surprised. When he replaced Tu to remove the sutures on Xiong Jing's chest, Xiong Jing seemed to have said thank you.

The whole tent was surprised. Xiong Jing was tasting the wine in this cup. I remember the last time I drank wine, I was with Yiquji. When I thought of Yiquji, I thought of the past. The past was like a sternum slashing his heart. This feeling made people feel very uncomfortable. He raised his neck and drank the wine in the silver cup, then stroked the long beard under his jaw, thinking that he should modify some beard, while signaling the maid to pour wine for him, and then asked the servant to bring him a portion of roasted veal.

Originally, Crimenides called him to come for negotiations. After coming in, Xiong Jing started to enjoy a rich dinner: wine, roast beef, roasted pheasant, cooked duck eggs, as well as the Greeks' usual staple food and hard bread.

"If it's not something important, you can continue to talk." Xiong Jing looked at the stunned people and continued in a somewhat unfamiliar Greek language. He was not unfamiliar with this language. After all, the palace had considered transporting some Greek drama actors from the Seleucid to perform several Greek tragedies and comedies in the palace. If Xiong Jing couldn't understand Greek, Greek dramas like raw meat would be very uncomfortable.

In addition to drama, he also studied ancient Greek mythology in depth and compared the similarities and differences between it and the Chu mythology. To be fair, Greek culture is very infectious because it is human culture, human nature culture, and the direct source of the Renaissance is Greek culture, while the Zhou people's culture is family culture. As for the Yin and Shang culture inherited by Chu and Chu, it is the culture of gods.

People's culture claims freedom, but also implicit indulgence. For example, this tent is just a temporary nature, a picture of sex, and carvings related to the female body can be seen everywhere. Several maids are very young, but their waists and hips are separated and their round buttocks are raised, which inevitably makes Xiong Jing imagine the eye-catching scene of them twisting and undulating when riding on men.

"What are you called?" Are you a noble? Just like the pea of ​​Princess Pea, it is reflected in every part of life. The nobles and nobles always appreciate each other, even if both sides are enemies.

"Jing." Xiong Jing looked at Neacas who was talking. This was a white Di man in his forties, with dark hair, deep eyes and high nose bridge. If he were either Greeks or Macedonians, "What should I call you?"

"Niacas." Seeing Xiong Jing's eyes flashing, Neicas didn't realize that his inquiries were a little rude. "I am the deputy envoy of the mission and are leading everyone back to Alexandria. Jing, do you know about Alexandria?"

Even if some people are proficient in languages, they do not know the territory of the known world, so Neacas asked a question.

"I have heard of the Alexander Faros Lighthouse, which is erected on the island of Faros." Xiong Jing understood that this was Neacas's temptation to himself. He could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and pretend not to know, just as he could pretend that he could not understand Greek, but this was not the way of a gentleman. There are many benefits to pretending to be stupid and honest, and there are also benefits of being open and honest. This is a problem of choosing different strategies for different people. On the contrary, choosing different strategies also reflects the different positions of people.

"...This 500-meter-high lighthouse guides Alexandria, which is located in Alexandria and is in the southeast corner of 'Our Sea'." Xiong Jing looked at Neacas, while Yu Guang looked at Crimenides and Zaras.

Before entering the tent, Yuenumo had already introduced him in detail the situation of the entire mission. Neacas was the deputy envoy, and the chief envoy was still in Humdan; Crimenides was a general who was always wearing beautiful bronze breastplate; and Zaras was Zaras who shot him with a crossbow. This Baidi cavalry general was once one of the close guards of the envoy of Bactrice, and he and Jago Vala should be comrades.

"Gods! Look, who said the Chunis are barbarians?" Neacas's eyes flashed, and he found the joy of his kind and made him smile.

"Jing, since we have rescued you and your soldiers from Qinni, you have the obligation to take the soldiers to Alexandria, serve in the army as we agreed, and be loyal to His Majesty." Since this has been said, Crimenides simply made his request directly. He stared at Xiong Jing, wanting to see how he answered.

"Is it a slave or a employed?" Xiong Jing did not answer, but asked back. Seeing Crimenides stunned, he looked at Neacas again: "Please tell me whether our identities are prisoners or mercenaries?"

"This is not important." Seeing that Neacas and Crimenides didn't know how to answer this question, Zaras hoped to skip this question.

This is really a very good question to answer. If the answer is a mercenary, then the mercenary has a term of employment and a freedom to leave; and if the answer is a prisoner, the situation may be worse. According to the potential laws of war, the families of the prisoners can pay for redemption of the prisoners, especially one of the Chuni nobles. Of course, they can also choose to kill them, but what benefits can they get from killing them? These people are not afraid of death at all.

"No! This is very important." Xiong Jing completely disagrees with Zaras's point of view. The reason why he showed that he was a Chu noble who knew the world civilization, instead of concealing himself and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was to gain the status of a civilized aristocrat. He naturally suffered a loss, but he would suffer a greater loss if he didn't do this.

"To be precise, it should be a prisoner." Crimenides finally replied.

In front of Neacas, Xiong Jing laughed and said, "Very good. How many Dramak silver coins do you need to redeem me, all my subordinates, and my servants? You must know that the soldiers of Chuni are citizens and never slaves!"

"No, no." Neacas shook his head repeatedly, and Crimenides couldn't speak as soon as he spoke. "I think the soldiers of Chuni are already very clear that they are mercenaries, and they are willing to accept the land given by His Majesty and become a soldier in Egypt..."

Neacas felt that Crimenides' answer was wrong, but before he finished speaking, he was pulled out of the tent by Crimenides. No one knew what the two said outside the tent. When the two came back again, Neacas's face had changed. He said in a very affirmative tone: "Jing, you can redeem yourself, the soldiers, your servants, but you must pay five for it, no! They are ten warships filled with thunder weapons."

"A warship full of thunder weapons?" Xiong Jing was racking his brains to think about Egypt's mercenary system, and the Egyptians had changed their minds.

"Yes." Neacas nodded repeatedly, "This kind of merchant ship is full of sails, crossing the sea to our sea, and has let out thunder in Alexandria. If you can pay ten such warships..."

"There must be sailors on the battleship." Crimenides emphasized this point in detail. "The sails on the battleship are as dense as spider webs, and we don't know how to drive such a battleship. We also need Chuni armor, at least 30,000 Chuni armors. We also need a hundred larger thunder weapons that will explode in the air."

Wu Gou Chang once visited Egypt. What Neacas said was the new Suzaku-class flying scissors equipped with six ten-pound cannons, rather than the Chaos-class gunboats equipped with twenty-four thirty-two-pound ships. The former Xiong Jing was not worried. The new Suzaku-class flying scissors were too advanced and could not be reversely imitated. The Chaos-class relied on the Mediterranean shipbuilding technology to reverse imitate.

"Baktria also needs the kind of thunder weapon that will explode in the air!" Zaras understood Neacas and Crimenides' calculations in seconds. Baktria already has huge iron armor, no warships, only artillery. "Pay forty thunder weapons and you can exchange for the twenty Chuni soldiers."

However, his request was only a small head, and Neacas and Crimenides' request was the big head. This ransom included ten new Suzaku-class flying scissors equipped with 60 ten-pound naval guns, 30,000 sets of giant armors, and 100 68-pound short-barrel cannons.

"These weapons can defeat an empire!" Xiong Jing said with certainty. "Only King Chuni can pay for these things."

Neacas, who knew that he was indeed speaking out at the lion, smiled a little. He and Parops went to Qini with him to force Chuni out of the spice production area, in addition to assisting Qini to defeat Chuni, and forcing Chuni to withdraw from the spice production area, so he asked for these weapons. Seeing Xiong Jing sighing like this, he was about to reduce it as appropriate, Xiong Jing said unexpectedly: "I will consider this redemption condition, but I also have the conditions."

When Xiong Jing said I would think about it, the tent suddenly became quiet. Neacas nodded repeatedly and signaled him to express his conditions.

"The Qinni shouldn't know the whole thing." Xiong Jing raised his first condition. Neacas nodded, and he didn't want the Qinni to know. The Qinni were also prepared for Egypt.

"I have no right to order any Chuni citizens to stay in Alexandria, so," Xiong Jing said again. "The sailors cannot deliver, they are either Chuni citizens or Yue citizens."

"What should I do with the sailor?" Crimenides suddenly thought of asking for craftsmen, but it was not easy to think that all craftsmen belonged to King Chuni. It is said that King Chuni once used a batch of low-quality thunder weapons to exchange his wife's father and brother from King Chuni. King Chuni asked for craftsmen at that time, but was rejected by the envoy of Chuni.

"How do you determine the advantages and disadvantages of the thunder weapon? I heard that the thunder weapon delivered to Qini by King Chuni will explode once it is used." Crimenides did not ask for craftsmen anymore, he was only worried about the quality of the delivered weapons. The Chuni was not honest.
