After more than a month of trekking, Dale finally returned to the Holy Mountain. He did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the temple to meet the Pope.

In the temple, Pope Marilena sat on the dragon throne and read leisurely. After a closer look, there were four large Chinese characters written on the cover of the book.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War".

The Holy See is now a trend of charming Han Dynasty. From top to bottom, everyone is proud of knowing Chinese characters and performing Chinese rituals. The Pope is no exception.

While reading was enjoying his life, the guard suddenly entered the hall and said, "Mr. Archbishop Dale is back and see him outside the hall."

Marilyna was overjoyed and quickly sat down and said, "Please hurry."

The guard left Dale and entered the hall, and came to the steps to stand and bow, saying, "My grandson, I have signed an alliance with the King of Zhao, and both sides can trade freely."

After saying that, he handed over the alliance and gave a detailed explanation. After hearing this, Marilyna was not as excited as Dalle imagined. Instead, she stood up and walked down the steps and came to Dalle and said, "In recent years, I have been studying the history books of the Han people. I know that Zhao was a great country in the Warring States Period. After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he divided the princes into princes. The princes were granted the title of the county name, and the princes were granted the title of the prince. Instead, the title of the prince was not randomly taken, but copied the names of the countries of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The stronger the country, the more respected the throne, and Cao Chong was granted the title of King Zhao, which shows his weight in the hearts of the Emperor of Cao Wei."

Dale smiled and said, "Isn't this better? We won't suffer any loss when we work with him."

Marilyna shook her head and said, "I am thinking about another thing. Cao Cao has more than 20 sons, Cao Ang also has three or four. The Southern Han Emperor Liu Bei also has many sons. These princes will be enfeoffed after they become adults, and there is a high chance of enfeoffing them to the Anxi land. Will we still have room for survival at that time?"

Dale's face was not good, and he said gritting his teeth: "We have to retreat if they move forward. Sooner or later, they will be driven into the sea."

“This situation must change.”

Marilyna frowned and said, "The biggest problem now is that the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun know the Holy See for foreigners and do not establish diplomatic relations with us. If they do not establish diplomatic relations, they will not be able to use the means of dealing with them. So they must find a way to integrate into them."

Dale said with a bitter face: "How to integrate into it? In the eyes of Orientals, we are aliens."

Marilyna sneered: "If you remember correctly, Cao Cao has a son named Cao Qi, right?"

A trace of enlightenment flashed in Dale's eyes and said in surprise: "Yes, his mother seems to be the daughter of Grand Duke Gaius."

Marilyna smiled and said, "This is great. It has both the royal blood of the Cao Wei family and the Roman noble blood. If he became the Pope, we would not arouse too much hostility from the Han people."

"What's the matter?"

Dale couldn't keep up with Marilyna's rhythm, but he understood one thing and decisively knelt down and said faithfully: "The Crown is not the Lord, the Holy See cannot do without you, and Rome cannot do without you. What is Cao Qi, why should he do?"

Marilyna smiled bitterly and said, "Just because of her surname Cao, Cao Cao once used a move to call the emperor to command the princes and let Cao Qi be an empty pope? With Cao Qi's amulet, no matter Cao Wei, Nan Han or Sun Wu, we will not even be left without a chance to speak. Cao Qi must bring him back, so you can go to Chang'an again."

"By the way, how old is Cao Qi this year? Can I get in touch with him when I come to Chang'an?"

Dale calculated it before saying, "It's almost thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's not difficult to get in touch. Prince Cao Wei has to send him to school at a certain age. According to the time, Cao Qi should be in junior high school this year."

Marilyna went on foot and thought for a long time before saying, "Don't take it back first, send someone to secretly communicate with him to let him go to school. Rome needs the skills of the Great Wei, and only he is qualified to do the most systematic and comprehensive study. When he graduates, he will be invited back to ascend the throne. I can still wait for ten years. This matter must be kept secret. Don't let the people of the Cao royal family know, do you understand?"

Dalebai said: "I understand, should we still make a deal with Zhao?"

Marilyna smiled and said, "Of course we have to do it. Give him two thousand slaves and three thousand oxen to settle, and the extra ones are considered as deposit."

Dale smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid there will be no more. Damn Cao Chong sold his rifle so much."

Marilyna: "..." Why did you forget that they were facing a group of gluttons?

The Pope's underworld waved weakly and said, "Go down, give whatever the other party wants. Try not to offend you at present, and wait until Cao Qi takes office."

Dalebai said: "I will leave."

After several days of rest and preparation, Dale embarked on the journey to Zhao State again. King Zhao learned the news and left the city to greet him for twenty miles. He saw the excitement of the oxen almost flowing down from afar. He quickly met Dale, for fear that he would run slow down and the ox would run away.

The ox and the slaves took over. Cao Chong enthusiastically invited Dale to the tent and served good wine and dishes. This was the God of Wealth in Zhao State, and he said he could not offend anything.

During the meal, Dale expressed his desire to go on a mission to the Great Wei again, and Cao Chong's face pulled down on the spot.

What does it mean? I want to leave him alone and directly connect to the upstream and downstream?

Cao Chong was unwilling to intercept the envoy, which was much more than the charge of selling arms, so he had to send Dale away.

The main problem of Zhao State at the moment is survival. Cao Chong did not have time to focus on Dale. After sending him off, he quickly adjusted his mentality and devoted himself to the construction of Zhao State. With three thousand oxen and two thousand slaves, there were more things to do. The oxen were directly distributed to the people to reclaim the land, while the slaves gathered together to build the airport first.

It is not difficult to repair the airport, just find a piece of flat ground to lay concrete. As for terminals, you can do it for the time being.

More than two thousand people acted at the same time, and it was easily completed in just two months. After completion, it immediately reported to Xiahou Ba by radio.

At noon that day, the wind was sunny, and a plane came from the east and parked steadily at the airport. The cabin door opened and Xiahou Ba walked down first.

Cao Chong had already led Zhao Guowenwu to wait at the airport, quickly greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Zhongquan, we finally meet again, I miss you so much."

Xiahou Ba said contemptly: "You don't miss me, you don't miss my supplies. I finally saved up some things and was caused by you."

Cao Chong hugged his neck and smiled, "What's this? We are brothers. How do you think I built the airport?"

Xiahou Ba shook his head and said, "It's not very good, but it's quite fast. I thought it would take at least two years for you to build an airport."

Cao Chong grinned and said, "There is nothing I can do. I've forced you to do it. I've left a piece of land for you in Zhao State and went back to build a summer resort. You can come and stay for a while if you have time."

"Forgive."

Xiahou Ba immediately refused and said, "Accepting bribes is a serious crime. I will help you with all my strength. Don't harm me, go and see the development of Zhao State. When the Supreme Emperor asks me, I have something to say, right?"

Cao Chong smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Drink and eat first, and then talk about it after you have enough wine."

Xiahou Ba continued to refuse and said, "No, I have to go back before dark, I don't have much time."

Cao Chong had no choice but to take him to inspect. Hundreds of thousands of people were placed in various villages, with the village as the center, and there were scattered farmland everywhere, and smoke from every household was emitting cooking smoke.
