Chapter 1356 is popular
Rome, Cai He was received with a high standard and was known as the ambassador of porcelain.
The porcelain and silk were replaced with real money, which made Cai He once again deeply admire Master's vision, the two goods were so popular, it was simply beyond his expectations, or Master had vision.
Cai He once again enjoyed the VIP treatment, ate a lot of special fruits, and of course, some people were even ready to offer beautiful women to Cai He. Cai Heshui accepted but did not touch, in addition to the fact that he was a eunuch, more importantly, he kept his mission in mind. He is just the manager of wealth, and none of this wealth is his own, so all these beautiful women who bought him do not belong to him, but to the master.
Of course, Cai He did not forget to recruit craftsmen, although the road is far away, there are still many people who are willing to go to Daqin to see it. Those who have a skill can also get a good salary, and those who do not have skills can only work as the lowest level of labor, but even so, there are still many people who are willing.
It's a pity that the current Rome is still not as exaggerated as it will be in the future, and it has not yet achieved the achievement of 'all roads lead to Rome'. Although Rome's water supply system is already excellent, making Roman bathhouses a feature, it's not interesting to take a bath all the time.
Although there is no Colosseum now, bloody gladiatorial fights have become popular in some parts of Rome, and although they are not large, the citizens are very receptive to this bloody mode of entertainment.
Cai He was also fortunate to be entertained by a member of the Senate and came to a gladiatorial arena dedicated to entertaining noble guests. It is a small two-storey building in the shape of a hollow square, and the middle courtyard is the gladiatorial arena, which the nobles can see clearly from the balcony on the second floor.
Other civilian places are not so high-end, just surrounded by a wooden fence, and the audience can only crowd around the wooden fence.
This way of treating bloody killing as entertainment made Cai He a little uncomfortable, and the slave warriors came and went on the sand with real knives and guns.
They don't seem to know martial arts, Cai He thought, but they are all trained, so they advance and retreat in a very orderly manner: "Have these slaves been trained?"
"Yes, in the gladiatorial arena, for the sake of gladiatorial ornamentation, experienced fighters will be invited to train them. "Gladiators are not just slaves, some brave citizens will also join in to prove their mettle," the councillor said. And the best of them can become trainers. ”
As he spoke, the two slave warriors changed, and the slave with the sword and shield used the shield to open the spear and unload one of the other's arms with a flick of his hand.
Blood splattered on the sand, and the other slave warrior, although his face was pale from pain, gritted his teeth and continued to fight, because he did not want to die.
The consumption of the gladiatorial slave warriors in the gladiatorial arena for entertaining the nobility was enormous, as every battle was fought to the death.
The severed hand fell to the sand, blood flowed all over the ground, and the people around not only did not feel cruel but cheered, regardless of gender.
The women of Rome were very open-minded, and Cai He had already rejected several aristocratic ladies who had thrown themselves into their arms. Because Cai He is a eunuch and cultivated, he is now a fine skin and tender meat, which is simply the best little fresh meat in the eyes of the noble lady, and even some male nobles with strange habits want to seduce Cai He.
Fortunately, Cai He was also well-informed in the palace and was unmoved. But now seeing the Roman aristocracy crazy about blood, I still feel that these people are unreasonable, don't they have other things to do?
The Romans naturally also read, but where is it interesting to read about gladiatorial fights, of course, they don't watch gladiatorial fights every day, usually they still have something to do, and now Rome is on the rise, if the battle against Carthage is won, Rome will be able to gain a lot of wealth on the African continent across the Mediterranean, and then turn around and go east to deal with the Macedonian Empire.
Carthage was rich, rich enough: every time there was a war with Rome, Rome had to recruit troops from its own cities, and Carthage always hired soldiers.
When it started, Carthage was not distressed at all, but every one of the dead Roman soldiers was the power of Rome. The current war against Carthage ended with a Roman victory.
There will be a second time after that, although the famous general Hannibal is a very powerful military strategist, deep into the hinterland of Rome, but in the end, even if the results are achieved, it cannot be saved, and later Rome sent troops to cross the sea directly to the Carthage land. Hannibal, a generation of famous generals, will also find it difficult to reverse the defeat of his homeland.
Then there was the third war, which was also the war in which Carthage was completely exterminated by Rome, the city was slaughtered and destroyed, and there was no Carthage again, and Rome officially completed the siege of the Mediterranean, turning the Mediterranean Sea into its own inland sea.
The slave with a broken hand did not turn the tide of battle, and was finally pierced through the heart by a sword and turned into a corpse. Everyone was cheering for the victors, and the victors were cheering with their weapons held high and roaring in enjoyment.
Cai He was speechless, and said in his heart that this kind of gladiatorial fight must not be transmitted back to the Central Plains.
"Governor Cai, look at the fate of Piris. The councillor said suddenly.
The man who likes men, Tsai and goosebumps rose, and he remembered that the guy actually sang love songs to himself in front of the public, expressing his love, which was simply superb.
looked over and found that Piris was going to play in order to pretend to be forced, to show his masculine beauty in front of Cai He, hoping to get Cai He's favor.
But Cai He doesn't like men.
Ignoring Piris's Qiubo, Cai He knew that he had to reject him. So he slapped the railing, and the whole person fell into the field like a flying swallow: "I'll fight with you." ”
That's the porcelain ambassador, the nobles are excited, Piris is actually not gay, he is bisexual, he is the most popular young man in Rome City, not only handsome bed kung fu is also first-class, of course, he also has an Athenian teacher to teach culture, Spartan teacher to teach martial arts, it can be said that the young handsome man of Chinese martial arts in Rome City, but there is a problem with the style of life.
The appearance of the two is very eye-catching, and Cai He's light skills are even more eye-opening for the Romans, and everyone is full of expectations for this gladiatorial fight.
Both chose a sword and shield, but Cai He lost the shield, preferring to dodge rather than hide behind the shield.
Seeing that Cai He lost his shield, and Piris also lost his shield, in his opinion, this battle was just flirting, and he felt that Cai He would understand his good.
Cai He looked at the other party's actions and said that he was disgusted, so he took the initiative to attack unceremoniously. As soon as the agile pace came out, the figure quickly moved left and right, making the other party incomprehensible.
It was also the first time for Piris to encounter such a nimble opponent, and he couldn't help but react, so he felt that his arm was vigorously picked apart, and his mouth hurt, but fortunately, he was also an experienced warrior and did not let the sword go.
How do you look at Cai He, he is just a fair-skinned and delicate young man, but as soon as he makes a move, Piris knows that his tiger's mouth has cracked.
Then there was the clanging bell, and Piris had no power to fight back at all, so he could only keep parrying Cai He's slash.
Everyone saw that the sparks burst out when the two swords slashed at each other, and the blades became more and more notched, and they all let out an exclamation. They don't understand why Cai He's petite body has so much strength?
This is not scientific, the body size with great strength should also be large, this is science. It's a pity that they don't know that Cai He has deep internal strength, and today they have to know that Daqin has magical martial arts in addition to porcelain and silk.
Bite!
Pyris's sword was cut off, and he froze, and everyone froze. I'm afraid that no one will dare to seduce Cai He, who is more terrible than a tiger and a lion in the future.
In the future, I can make it easier for myself, and Cai He wants this effect.
