Dale left Zhao Guo and went straight to Chang'an. When he arrived in Yiwu, he had already started winter, so he had to stop in Yiwu and waited until the spring of the next year to continue his journey. It was already June.

The envoy of the Holy See ran over a few days after leaving. Although the court had no choice but to treat him with courtesy and placed him in the inn of the Ministry of Rites.

No matter what, they are still foreign envoys, so they still have to give the decent ones they should give.

In the imperial study room.

Cao Cao looked up at Yang Xiu who was coming to report and asked, "What is the purpose of the Holy See's envoy coming."

Yang Xiu bowed and said, "I'm afraid the appearance of Zhao State caused fear from the Holy See, so he came to Chang'an to inquire about the words."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. It's difficult for Zhao State to survive now, and it poses no threat to the Holy See. Just go to Zhao State if you want to do business. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to Chang'an. The most important thing is that the attitude of Wei and Han countries towards the Holy See is very clear. Dale is not unaware. If this is the case, why should we come to Chang'an to humiliate yourself?"

Yang Xiu frowned and said, "The Supreme Emperor means that Dale's intention is not to drink. Will there be something to plan when coming to Chang'an this time?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on it and see what he wants to do, but don't keep an eye on it too tightly, give people some freedom of movement."

Yang Xiu bowed and said, "I understand that I must have made a good arrangement. If there is nothing else, I will take it back first."

Cao Cao nodded, remembered something and asked quickly: "How is the emperor's side? It's almost two years since he was in Xuzhou, it's time to come back."

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know this minister. I heard that the movie has reached a critical moment and I guess it's not far from the end."

Cao Cao waved his hand in distress, and when he saw Yang Xiu leave, he suddenly felt that no descendants were reliable. His son went to the countryside to make a movie, and his grandson went to the countryside, leaving him an old man to face the mountain of government affairs. It was really... But Dale, he also had an acquaintance in Chang'an City. Chris Gary and other Roman nobles who had made contributions to the Wei army were all in Chang'an.

Although they were granted titles and given residences and received salary from the Wei Dynasty, their lives were not as casual as they thought.

People are all in groups. Although the Han people did not discriminate against them, they were unwilling to communicate too much with them. This group of Roman nobles was naturally excluded from the mainstream of the Han people and could only survive in groups and difficult times. In this case, the olive branch extended by Dale will naturally not be rejected.

Dale visited these Roman traitors one by one, drank and chatted with them, but privately began a shameful activity.

The nobles such as Chris Gary all have servants, and Dale is willing to spend money. Last time he came here, he spent money to buy many noble servants. Now the mansions of Chris and others are full of Dale's eyes. These servants also have their own relationship network, and with the help of the relationship network, he can contact his target, Prince Cao Qi.

Cao Qi is currently in the second year of junior high school. Due to his skin color, he is not valued in the palace or in the school. When his classmates saw him, they consciously avoided him and retreated.

The classmates were well educated, and his identity as a prince was there. No one had ever been sarcastic about his skin color during school, but the sense of superiority that was revealed from time to time in his eyes still deeply hurt Cao Qi's fragile heart, making him become more and more withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with others.

At noon that day, Cao Qi rushed to the cafeteria for dinner. On the way, the students were all in groups, but he was alone.

Cao Qi had long been used to this and didn't care. She lowered her head and thought about her affairs. She was suddenly hit by someone halfway through. When she looked up, she saw that she was a cleaner.

The cleaning lady in front of him was a Roman slave. After knocking him down, he kept apologizing and lowered his head to clean up the garbage on his clothes.

The only group of Roman slaves who were willing to communicate with him in the entire school were the ones who were doing low-cost work. Cao Qi had always been friendly to them and said, "It's okay, just go back and change the items, you don't have to do this."

The cleaning lady still grabbed his shoes and said in a voice that only they could hear, "Your Highness, Archbishop Dale let Bei Zhi say hello to you, he wants to see you."

Cao Qi's face changed slightly, and he pretended to be calm and squatted down and asked, "What does it mean?"

Cleaning continued to whisper: "I don't know. The Archbishop said tonight, the Lotus Hall of Hongyun Teahouse, Yongding North Road, Xinghuafang, please be sure to go and remember to keep it confidential."

Cao Qi silently wrote down the address, stood up and turned to the dormitory. He wanted to go back to change his clothes, and he tried hard to think about Dale's intention on the way.

He didn't doubt the cleaning, and the other party didn't want to fool him with this matter, but he couldn't understand why Dale wanted to see him and did such a secret.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it, and you will know it when you see it.

Unlike other beloved princes, he is an invisible person in the palace. Years of cold reception have made him mature earlier than children of the same age and will not easily reveal his feelings to others.

After all, he is Cao Cao's son, so he still has basic scheming.

Cao Qi returned to the restaurant as if nothing had happened, had lunch and went to class. After school, he left school openly and rushed to Hongyun Teahouse.

Hongyun Teahouse is a small teahouse that cannot be placed on the table. Teahouses of this size are everywhere in Chang'an City and generally do not attract attention.

Cao Qi went up to the second floor and opened the door. He saw several middle-aged men sitting inside. He frowned and asked the person in the main seat, "Are you Archbishop Dale?"

The man nodded and asked, "Are you His Highness Cao Qi?"

Cao Qi nodded.

Dale waved his hand and asked the people around him to leave and guard the door. The door was closed and the only two of them were left in the room. Only then did Dale get up and worship: "Dalle, the Archbishop of the Holy See, has seen Grand Duke Gaius."

Cao Qi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Dale asked him to sit down and personally served him tea to explain: "Your Highness does not know that your mother is the daughter of Grand Duke Gaius of the Roman Empire. Grand Duke Gaius has passed away and several sons have also died in the war. You are now the only heir to the Duke of Gaius."

Cao Qi sneered: "I have never heard of the Principality of Gaus. Besides, I would like to say that my great prince of Wei cares about betraying a Roman principality. Doesn't Archbishop Dale find it too ridiculous?"

The mother tribe is an eternal pain in his heart, because this is why he is not even as good as the prince born to his maid in the palace. Dale and Histi's mother tribe are just like sprinkling salt on his wounds. It would be strange if he has a good face.

Dale smiled and said, "The Principality of Gaius cannot get into the eyes of His Highness. What about the Roman Catholic Church? The Pope's Coronation wants to invite you to the Vatican to be the new Pope. I wonder if Your Highness is interested?"

Cao Qi's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were filled with incredibleness when he looked at Dale.

He is not a nerd who deaf ears to the outside world. He is also exposed to things outside while studying. As far as he knows, the Holy See is not as weak as the surface. Not to mention anything else, the total population alone exceeds tens of millions, not less than the pseudo-Han. The Holy See is only behind technology and systems, and there is no shortage of land and population that restricts the development of the country. If a strong king appears to completely integrate existing resources, the Holy See may not be able to rise again.

But why does the Holy See choose itself?
