Chapter 472 Fuxian Cream
Tuoba Yi was indeed a feint attack. After testing the firepower at the city, he felt that he had no hope of breaking the city in a short time, so he quickly withdrew his troops back to the camp. Jiang Xuan naturally would not pursue him and allowed Tuoba Yi to leave. For a period of time, Tuoba Yi surrounded him and did not attack, but just guarded the camp.
Before we knew it, two months passed, and it was November 17th. Jiangling had entered the middle of winter. Although the weather was very cold, it was not yet snowing, and drizzling rain was floating in the sky.
In such weather, it is naturally the most enjoyable thing to hide at home and snuggle up with your beautiful wife and concubine. However, Wei Feng, Julia and Liu Xingnan had to come to the dock ten miles upstream of Jiangling. Today is the day when twenty invincible warships are launched. Wei Feng now has 80 warships. The source of the ship is built in Panyu, and the other is newly built in Jiangling. As for Tianjin, due to insufficient manpower, small city and limited space, no shipbuilding plan has been launched yet.
In addition, Wei Feng is still waiting for others, and Antonio will also arrive in Jiangling today!
The warships were slowly sailing on the river, and the shore was surrounded by people coming to watch in the rain, but Julia was obviously absent-minded and frequently looked downstream.
Liu Xingnan also looked downstream with his feet and suddenly asked, "Sister Julia, Uncle Antonio is here this time. Are you going back to Rome with him?"
Julia touched her belly unconsciously, and even Wei Feng didn't know that she had it. It was about a month ago, and there was no way. Things between men and women were like this. Even if you were careful, you would always be shot accidentally.
What made Julia embarrassed was not how to speak to Wei Feng. She had already realized that she would be "qiongren" for Wei Feng for the rest of her life. What's more, this is Wei Feng's species, and she always has to be responsible. The reason why she has not said it until now is that Wei Feng knew it and it would inevitably be transmitted to Wang Man and the others. Julia didn't know how to face it!
As for abortion, it is even more impossible. Catholicism does not allow abortion, whether it is for purpose or means, including cooperative behavior in this matter. They are considered to be a sin of self-sanction. God believes that human life, from the beginning of conception, must be respected and protected in an absolute way in terms of the integrity of his individuality.
The birth can only be caused by the fetus endangering the mother's life, which may be exploited by some people who are interested. But it certainly does not include Julia, who is a devout believer and deceiving herself will never happen to her.
Julia looked at Weifeng and shook her head and said, "Rome is nothing worthy of Julia's nostalgia. On the contrary, Julia is very fulfilled and happy in the Kingdom of Ceris. If there is a chance, Julia still wants to persuade her uncle to stay. Uncle is almost fifty. To use the words of you Ceris, it's time to enjoy your old age."
"Oh!" Liu Xingnan nodded in agreement.
Wei Feng disagreed and said, "Huang Zhong, Yan Yan was seventy years old and killed Xia Houyuan in the battle at Dingjunshan. Xian Lun is old, can he still eat? What is Antonio's fifties? According to me, it's not a problem to run to the age of 80!"
Julia said dissatisfiedly: "Eunuch, if you are not your uncle, just say sarcastic words. You are too sympathetic."
Wei Feng shook his head: "Julia, you don't understand. A man will not think that he is not good until his last breath. Your uncle has ambitions and will never want to do nothing for the rest of his life."
Julia couldn't help but recall the conversation Antonio had in Panyu four years ago, and she was speechless.
Wei Feng pointed downstream again: "Julia, they should be here."
Five large ships appeared on the river downstream. As the distance approached, it was true that they could see clearly that they were unique to Rome's galloping warships. Julia's pretty face couldn't help but show joy.
Not long after, the ship slowly moored to the shore. Antonio was the first to disembark. Except for his slightly gray hair, the rest were just like four years ago, with steady steps and walking like the wind, looking dazzling!
Wei Feng gave Julia a smile, and Julia returned with an angry look. She understood that with her uncle's mental state, she would not retire even if she persuaded her!
As the two of them were getting back and forth, Antonio laughed and said, "I said the envoy was not an extraordinary person back then, but I didn't expect that in just four years, the envoy had fought from Panyu to Jiangling, which still surprised me. I, Antonio, congratulated the envoy!"
Wei Feng was also very happy. After all, Antonio is considered an old friend, so he opened his arms and hugged Antonio enthusiastically, then smiled and said, "Hisser Antonio, don't be polite, we are old friends, let me treat you well tonight!"
"Thank you, the envoy!" After Anidono thanked him, he turned his eyes to Julia, with a strange and special meaning.
Julia blushed and hurriedly said, "Uncle, Julia feels relieved when she sees you are still healthy. At present, Julia is appointed as the general of the ship and commander of the navy. The envoy takes good care of Julia. Julia lives well in the country of Cerris and is very happy. You don't have to worry about Julia."
"Hmm?" Annitoni's eyes were used to flashing a slight shining brightly, and then he smiled and said, "Emister, thank you for your care for Julia. I brought some gifts from Rome, which I specially dedicated to you, and also the handwritten letter from His Highness Odoxia in our country."
Antonio took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Feng, waved backwards, and the four servants walked forward with a heavy box.
Wei Feng only glanced at the letter and put it away. Because he couldn't understand the rows of Latin letters, he had to take the time to let Julia translate, and then he turned his attention to the box.
To be honest, Wei Feng didn't care about Antonio's gift at all. What could this old miser give? As long as it wasn't a glass bead, it was fine, but when the box was opened, he couldn't help but be shocked!
It turned out to be a naked woman in pure gold, with a plump breast, only surrounding her lower body, and her height is not much different from that of a normal person!
Wei Feng couldn't help but look at Antonio in a daze. This is a huge sum of money. When did this old guy become so generous?
Antonio looked at the golden statue reluctantly and then introduced: "Empress. This is the statue of Goddess Hathor. She is the most beautiful of all goddesses in Egypt. She likes to transform her appearance into a bull, and is also one of the oldest goddesses in Egypt. She is called the goddess of sky in Greek and is often compared with Isis, the goddess of life and health. However, in Thebes, she was once worshipped as the god of death, but outside Thebes. Goddess Hathor is the incarnation of love, dance and wine.
This statue of Goddess Hathor is a national treasure brought back from Egypt after Caesar conquered Egypt. His Highness Odoxia is willing to give her to you to witness the friendship between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Seris."
"Oh?" Wei Feng was moved and said quickly: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it. Please also express your sincerest thanks to His Highness Odoxia and the Emperor of your country on my behalf!"
"Your sir!" Antonio gave in.
Wei Feng nodded. But he secretly thought about what kind of gift should be given to the Roman Queen? After all, this was related to the face of a country. He was reluctant to give a large number of gold, silver and jewelry. He was too cold and could not take it out, but he soon felt relieved and remembered it. Many statues of Brahmins were plundered from Linyi. At that time, he could just pick one for Antonio to take it back.
Wei Feng was about to call Antonio into the city, but his eyes were fixed. A big man was carried off from the boat by two people, one left and one right, and took a closer look. Isn’t this exactly Julius, the leader of the German mercenary?
At this time, Julius looked sick, as if the wind was blowing, and how could he look like he was as arrogant as before?
Wei Feng couldn't help asking: "His Excellency Antonio, what's wrong with Julius?"
Antonio said helplessly: "Julis is still fine in Panyu, but after entering the river of your country of Serris, he felt a headache, vomiting, runny nose, and a low fever. The doctor on the boat saw it and prescribed medicine, but it never improved."
As he was speaking, Julius came over and gave Wei Feng a shy salute: "Julius said hello to the general."
Wei Feng waved his hand: "Julius, we are old friends too. Come on, I'll help you see what's going on."
Wei Feng put his finger on Julius' wrist pulse without saying a word. He was worried that Julius would have an infectious disease, but not long after, his face relaxed and he smiled and said, "Julius, you are not a serious illness, you are just suffering from wind and cold. Our country of Serris just developed a strange medicine to cure all diseases. Come, go back with me first, and I will ask someone to bring the medicine. At most, you will definitely be cured tomorrow!"
"Then thank you, the envoy!" Us grinned reluctantly.
Wei Feng turned his head and ordered, "You go to the treasury to take some Fuxian paste and a set of utensils to the inn."
"As for your order!" The personal guard gave a bow and left in a hurry.
Wei Feng then led the Romans to the city, but Liu Xingnan couldn't help but leaned over and asked in a low voice: "General, what is this Fuxian ointment? You never take out the mysterious secret to others. You won't be thinking about it again, right? Xingnan doesn't believe that Fuxian ointment can cure the people as you boasted about. If it were so magical, wouldn't you promote it to the outside world long ago?"
Wei Feng also lowered his voice and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? Don't talk about Fuxian Paste. Is it effective? Will you see it in a while?"
"Oh!" Liu Xingnan nodded with a curious face.
The group soon arrived at the inn, and the Romans packed up their residences. Wei Feng, Julia and Liu Xingnan accompanied Antonio and Julius, while chatting casually, while waiting patiently.
Not long after, a personal guard pushed the door and walked in, holding a small bowl of black paste, an oil lamp, and a cigarette gun. The cigarette gun was about two feet long, and the main trunk was made of bamboo tubes. A copper trumpet-shaped funnel was installed at the bottom.
