In the early third century, the city of Rome was the cultural center of Europe at that time, and the ancient Roman civilization did leave many brilliant cultural treasures to mankind. It's just that the people of later generations have seen some ruins, and what did these things look like when they were still playing their original purpose?

Lu Ren once had the idea of waiting for time and opportunity, no matter how he said it, he had to go to these ancient capitals of civilization to have a look, but now Lu Ren is entangled in all things, where can he leave? However, Lu Ren's thoughts affected Lu Lan, and this was the origin of Lu Lan's idea that he would later decide to go all over the world.

At this moment, Lu Lan is walking the streets of ancient Rome, and from time to time she will write a few strokes in her notebook, and turn it back to organize it into a travelogue. By the way, don't underestimate Lu Lan's cultural skills at this point, you must know that she was not less influenced by Cai Yan's culture after she was taken in by Lu Ren, and was later pushed onto the stage by Lu Ren.

And Lu Lan was able to conquer so many people with her charm, is it just because Lu Lan is beautiful? It has a lot to do with Lu Lan's own hard work and cultivating a unique temperament and charm for herself, okay? In modern terms, Lu Lan already has so much fairy energy, aura, and goddess fan on her body.

I don't talk too much about these, just say that on the streets of this ancient Roman city, Lu Lan is feeling the breath of this civilized ancient city. As the cultural center of the West at that time, the prosperity of the ancient city of Rome should not be underestimated, after all, the phrase "all roads lead to Rome" is not a boast.

It's just that no matter how prosperous the city is, there will always be some disharmony, which is inevitable even in the most prosperous city in modern society, let alone the ancient Roman city in the third century? At least Lu Lan has seen a lot of discordant pictures.

However, Lu Lan will not do anything superfluous, because she knows that these things are unavoidable, and she can only reduce them as much as possible, which depends on how much the authorities can do.

And when she saw those pictures, Lu Lan would feel a sense of pride in her heart, and she would secretly say in her heart: "It's still my dead ghost who does better." These things actually exist in Yizhou, but not as many as in Rome. And on the whole, it is also obvious that the people of Yizhou are more energetic, compared to Rome, although it seems to be prosperous, but the faces of the common people are a little lifeless, less energetic and smiling. ”

It's not that Lu Lan is protecting her shortcomings or "stupid" that Lu Ren thinks it's good, but that Lu Ren has done a really good job in the resettlement of displaced people and social welfare. Then Lu Lan has not been involved in those things, so he also knows some corresponding things very well. Therefore, Lu Lan understands that there are a lot of discordant pictures in ancient Rome, which are completely the result of the failure of the ancient Roman authorities to do their jobs.

Walking through the streets with a little bit of this thought, I suddenly found that somewhere in the city was very lively. was stunned for a moment, and then called the accompanying Roman waiter over to inquire, and the Roman waiter respectfully told Lu Lan that it was a slave market in ancient Rome.

Ancient Rome in the third century still had slavery, so it was normal for there to be a slave market. Lu Lan had heard Lu Ren mention these things more or less before coming to Rome, so she knew a little, but Lu Lan herself was a little disgusted by this matter, after all, she was born in poverty, if she hadn't met Lu Ren, she would have become a person who was not much different from a slave if she didn't starve to death on the street, so Lu Lan has always been reluctant to go to this kind of place.

But here we are today, and there are some things that I can't avoid if I think my travelogue is detailed, so I decided to go to the slave market. Whether to buy slaves or not is second or even secondary, mainly because I want to increase my knowledge and improve my travelogue.

In this way, Lu Lan entered the slave market under the protection of those attendants. To say that Lu Lan is a celebrity in today's Rome, those people in the aristocratic circle and civilians who have watched Lu Lan's song and dance dramas all know Lu Lan. However, Lu Lan is already familiar with this kind of thing, and disguise is even more commonplace, so no one really recognizes Lu Lan at this time.

Today's slave market is indeed a bit bustling, because in addition to the usual slaves, there are also a number of slaves from the Armenian region to be sold.

The Roman Empire had recently been fighting with the Sabbatarian Empire in Armenia, and it was only natural that some Roman legions would win the battle and then capture a certain number of captives and civilians. The Roman legions in the third century were basically equivalent to warlords, and warlords would inevitably have to make profits and raise troops for their own families, so if conditions permitted, they would try to transport these captives and civilians back to Rome for sale, and then use the money to expand their strength.

For these things, Lu Lan just positioned herself as a cold-eyed bystander, and then recorded what she saw and heard in her travelogue. However, in order to facilitate understanding of the situation, Lu Lan also selected a suitable noble child, quietly found him, and then quietly revealed his identity, and this young nobleman was happy to act as a narrator for our Goddess Lan...... It's said that he is a little nobleman, how can he have the opportunity to get close to Goddess Lan like this under normal circumstances?

And he is still very young, how can he compare with Lu Lan, who is actually forty years old and has a lot of experience? To be honest, Lu Lan will be as innocent as a little girl in front of Lu Ren, but if it is replaced by someone else, Lu Lan can even be worthy of the word "scheming x".

All in all, Lu Lan was a cold bystander in the slave market. And Lu Lan's original intention was just to increase his knowledge and improve his memory, and he didn't have any interest in buying a few slaves or anything like that, but when he saw some slaves being sold somewhere, Lu Lan was stunned for a moment.

At this time, there are some female ** subordinates who are being sold on the stage. To be more precise, there are now a dozen standard Persian beauties being sold. And Yizhou's trade with the outside world, before Lu Ren entered Central Asia, there would be a series of Persian caravans to Yizhou from time to time to do business, so Lu Lan was not unseen Persian beauties, and even earlier, there were big businessmen from Persia who wanted to send a few Persian beauties to Lu Ren to sleep...... Well, Lu Ren is not a good bird, he tried it, but then he threw these Persian beauties into the academy, and those who can translate can do it, and those who can enter the song and dance troupe will enter the song and dance troupe, Lu Lan has personally taught several Persian beauties and let them perform belly dance on the stage.

These are not much nonsense, anyway, Lu Lan is no stranger to Persian beauties. And at this time, although Lu Lan has some sympathy for the Persian beauties on the stage, Lu Lan will not cause any trouble for herself, because Lu Lan knows very well that if she gets into any trouble, it is likely to be causing trouble for Lu Ren's plan, so Lu Lan should not care too much about it.

But at this moment, a certain Persian beauty on the stage really attracted Lu Lan's attention, because although the clothes on this Persian beauty were already a little dirty and torn, Lu Lan could see at a glance that it was a Hanfu...... At least it is also a costume with a lot of Hanfu elements.

One might say what's so remarkable about this? In fact, anyone who knows a little about the Persian cultural system should understand that Persia belongs to the Arab cultural system, and the requirements for women's clothing are very strict, which still exists in some Arab countries in modern society, let alone in that era? And this Persian beauty must look like a Persian, but the clothes on her body have some elements of Hanfu, which is a little strange, because for normal Persian women, it is absolutely impossible to wear like this.

Because Lu Lan was going to come out to see the world, she asked Lu Ren some questions in this regard before she came out, so she also had some understanding of this matter. And now when I see a beautiful Persian woman dressed like this, I immediately feel that something is not right in my heart. And under the influence of this curiosity, Lu Lan decided to buy this Persian beauty and bring it back to ask what was going on. It's certainly not okay to get into trouble, but I believe there will be no problem if you just buy a Persian beauty slave, and besides, didn't Lu Lan find a shield by her side? Won't it be over if he comes forward to buy it?

Not to mention, these Persian beauties are more sought-after in the slave market, and the little nobleman's family background is limited, and he couldn't bear to ask for the price later, but Lu Lan quietly stuffed the money to him, so he bought the Persian beauty in Hanfu, but it also made the little nobleman's face a little unbearable...... Who is willing to lose face in front of the goddess?

On the other hand, although Lu Lan is a human spirit, she has no harmful intentions, so Lu Lan knows that if she leaves like this, this little nobleman may be hated by other people who rush to buy it. So Lu Lan quietly went to find a few other people who had a bit of identity, quietly indicated her identity, and then excused the little nobles, and then quietly left the slave market with the Persian beauty she bought. It's just that this made those nobles regret even more why they couldn't buy the Persian beauty that Lu Lan wanted and then transfer it to Lu Lan......

Without further ado, Lu Lan took this Persian beauty back to her residence, and after making a little arrangement and then supporting others, Lu Lan was just about to ask a question, but the Persian beauty took a step ahead of Lu Lan and said, "You, you are Han?" ”

Lu Lan was stunned again this time, because this Persian beauty actually spoke Chinese, and although it was a little jerky, it was very fluent.

After such a stunned effort, the Persian beauty also looked at Lu Lan a few times, and then covered her mouth and exclaimed: "You, you are Lu Lan?" Lu Lan, the flower of Yizhou? ”

Lu Lan was stunned again, but she also remembered that she had already gone out at this time, and she was showing her true appearance. And on the Persian side, or the Persian rest and Kushan, they also bought gramophones, records, and posters, so it was not unusual for someone over there to know him, so he smiled and nodded.

The Persian beauty hurriedly saluted: "I like to listen to your songs very much, but I didn't expect to see you like this." ”

Lu Lan waved her hand: "Don't talk about this, I'm actually just an ordinary person." By the way, what's your name? And I don't think you behave like an ordinary civilian, how can you become a prisoner and a slave in the war? ”

The Persian beauty was silent for a moment, and then responded: "My original name is no longer used, and the name I use now is given to me by my master, and it is called Vanilla." ”

Lu Lan was stunned again, and then asked, "Vanilla?" Is it the 'vanilla' in our Chinese? ”

Vanilla nodded: "That's it." And my master, in fact, is also a Han Chinese, a woman as beautiful as a goddess like Miss Lan. ”

Lu Lan Daqi: "You should be the one who rests over there, right?" How can there be a Han master? What's her name? ”

"My master's name is ......"

At night, Lu Lan didn't even eat dinner. In fact, Lu Lan can't eat anything now, because she heard from the mouth of Vanilla a name that made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning at that time: Wan'er.

Yes, this vanilla is actually the little palace maid that Wan'er rescued when she was in danger of being kissed by a lustful nobleman's wolf in the palace of rest, and then let this palace maid follow her. As a Persian woman, Vanilla can wear Hanfu, and she was also licensed because of her service to Wan'er.

As for how Vanilla became a prisoner, it was because Vanilla's brother was conscripted in the war between Rome and Sabbat, and Vanilla had not yet become Wan'er's maid at that time. Later, Vanilla became Wan'er's maid, and got a little privilege, so she begged Wan'er to see her brother, and if she could, she wanted to use this privilege to pull her brother out of the battlefield...... The premise is if her brother is still alive.

This kind of thing is not a big deal for Cass Yili at all, and she can also sell some face to Wan'er by the way, and please Wan'er, of course, she agreed to it. It's just that the conscription system at that time didn't matter, and it was not realistic to directly recall a low-status soldier, so it could only be that Vanilla temporarily left Wan'er and went to the battlefield to find her brother. Then in a battle, he lost in peace, and Vanilla didn't have time to evacuate, so he became a prisoner of the Roman side, and after being resold, he stood in front of Lu Lan by mistake......
