Chapter 494: Three Women in One Play
Da Qin opened its net and waited.
The Gauls, Nordic Germans, Carthaginians, Thracians, and the tribes surrounding the Roman Republic were all mobilized. On their own, these tribes were no match for the Romans, but once united,
If it were led by the powerful Qin army, Rome would be a trapped bird caught in a cobweb.
After all, Rome in the first century BC was not the most powerful Roman Empire when Caesar the Great was in power. Although the consul Scipio was excellent, he was not the talented Caesar who single-handedly created the empire. After that,
After Bardacus's troubles on the Apennine Peninsula, the internal crisis of the Roman Republic was intensifying.
——.
Amid internal and external troubles.
Cleopatra, the former Cleopatra, took a Roman merchant ship and set off from the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula. After a short voyage of three days, she landed in the Bay of Pella on September 19.
In this situation, Cleopatra had been here two years ago, but this time she came back, and the scene that appeared in front of her surprised the always confident strong woman.
The orderly and solemn black-armored army on the pier, the soldiers who looked almost the same from a distance, and the carefully checked checkpoints all made Cleopatra feel heavy. Originally, she wanted to hide her true identity.
She sneaked into the city pretending to be a businessman's wife and daughter, and after seeing this, she decided to reveal her identity.
Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
Mistress of the Roman consul Scipio.
This vital and important identity will definitely make His Majesty the Emperor of Qin very interested, and Cleopatra is also confident that with her beauty, she can capture all the young and strong men in the world.
The old royal palace of Macedonia.
Beside the Shenwu Emperor Li Yuan, two beautiful young ladies were giggling with happy smiles. Yan Feng and Maria were like two golden birds flying out of the cage, flapping their powerful and young wings.
The vitality spread to the hearts of thousands of soldiers in Qin.
The record of Mary's eastward journey has been recorded in five parchments, and its length even exceeds Homer's epic. For Jews and Egyptians, such records are their window to understand Eastern civilization. This time
The trip to the East allowed this Jewish girl to see a completely different social scene from the first ten years of her life. The diligence and kindness of the people of Daqin were unimaginable to Westerners, just like the beliefs of Westerners were incomprehensible to Easterners.
Same.
"Let her come in and listen to what she has to say?" The guard soldier reported that the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom wanted to see her for something. Li Yuan thought thoughtfully, the name Cleopatra was like a thunder to a traveler.
This is a woman who brought the Roman Empire from strength to disintegration. Of course, judging from the time, it is speculated that the person who confused the three men, Caesar, Antony, and Octavian, was actually a distant relative of the current Egyptian queen.
"Your Majesty, that woman is the daughter of Antiochus III of the Kingdom of Seleucid. She has a great desire for power. Even King Ptolemy V in Egypt is not as influential as her." Maria heard Cleopatra
At this name, his fair little face tensed up and he said it hurriedly.
The Jews lived in the gap between the three powerful countries of Macedonia, Seleucid, and Ptolemy, so they were naturally aware of the situation of their three neighbors. After the experience and experience of Mary's trip to the East, she gradually understood
One's own knowledge of right and wrong.
"Maria, tell me, what should we do?" After hearing this, Yan Feng hurriedly took Maria's hand and asked. Although he is a few years older than Maria, when it comes to being eccentric,
.Yan Feng will lose to the future Holy Mother.
"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, Sister Yan and I will go meet this woman together, okay?" Maria thought for a while and said firmly.
Li Yuan clapped his hands, stood up and said: "Mary, I leave this to you. If the secrets of the Ptolemaic Kingdom can be extracted from Cleopatra's mouth, I will allow Christianity to grow on the Nile River."
The teachings are spread freely throughout the area.”
Egyptian treasures.
She was buried in pyramids and underground tombs all over the Nile River Basin. Facing the maze-like tomb passages, the Qin army soldiers could only look at it with wonder. Maria was full of confidence. This young and energetic Jewish girl was as Jewish as
Like any nation, it grows tenaciously in the face of adversity.
Cleopatra, who was stared at by two little foxes, was waiting uneasily for Li Yuan's summons. Cleopatra was not only curious about this god-like oriental man in legend and reality.
In addition, I am still curious. From the far east to the west, he has almost never suffered a real defeat in his military career, but all his opponents have ended very sadly. Such a military god, let Cleo
Petra has been longing for her.
Of course, due to the hatred of killing her father and the hatred of seizing the country, Cleopatra could not have any other thoughts about Li Yuan. This time she took the risk to ask for a meeting, and her heart was already filled with hatred.
.However, this time, Cleopatra heard a woman's voice before she opened the door, which made her expression change. Didn't it mean that there was no woman around Li Yuan?
Inside the meeting hall.
Besides being a woman, she is still a woman.
Maria volunteered, and Li Yuan was happy to be the boss. Cleopatra's arrival was just a test before the decisive battle between Qin and Rome. Neither Scipio nor Li Yuan would decide the outcome.
The code of law falls on a woman.
——.
The war between women.
Although there was no smoke, it was still thrilling. Maria and Cleopatra's fighting skills opened the eyes of a group of Qin soldiers responsible for guarding. Faced with Cleopatra's temptation, Maria's performance
She shows a calmness and sophistication that belies her age.
"His Majesty the Divine Emperor doesn't have time to see you. If you have anything to do, can we tell it to you?" Maria's cold eyes made Cleopatra feel cold when she stepped into the hall, but she calmed down immediately.
Come down, how can these two hairy girls be her opponents who have experienced battles for a long time?
"Would you like to tell me? Doesn't your emperor want to know about the movements of the Roman consul Scipio? I just got off his bed and my body is still hot?"
Maria and Yan Feng's faces turned red. This shameless and coquettish woman in front of them was obviously difficult to deal with. If she really had important information to say, it would be difficult for them two little women to make the decision. After looking at each other,
Yan Feng composed himself and said: "If you really have the information about the Romans, why don't you write it down and wait for us to forward it to you?"
A proud smile appeared on Cleopatra's face, and she said sweetly: "For me, if I can't see His Majesty the Great Emperor Shenwu, it's not certain whether my letter can be delivered. What if you are greedy for ink?
Isn’t this little girl’s life gone?”
Little woman.
A mature woman who was almost thirty, said that she was a little girl in front of two girls who were under twenty. This almost made Maria and Yan Feng spit out, but Cleopatra acted as if nothing was wrong and acted provocatively.
Look at each other.
"Taimo, you are such a mouthful, but we are not as familiar as a crazy woman like you." Yan Fengxing's eyes widened angrily, with a murderous look on her pretty face. After a long trip back home, although Yan Feng's identity still makes people feel embarrassed,
But after all, she is also Her Royal Highness Princess Changle of Great Qin. Given her status, it is normal for her to scold Cleopatra a few times.
"Your Royal Highness, I just can't stand the despicable Jews. I don't mean to get angry with you. Rome has issued an emergency mobilization order to deal with you Qin people. Can I elaborate on the specific situation?
Tell me." Cleopatra looked tense and said.
Reveal some real information.
It is a prerequisite to get close to and gain the trust of the Qin people. Cleopatra had considered this when she left Scipio, and the intelligence she provided in Rome was indeed true and credible.
, even if the Qin State sent an secret agent to investigate, no flaws could be found.
Yan Feng and Maria looked at each other and exchanged opinions while listening. After a long time, they said: "After sorting these things of yours, they will be forwarded to His Majesty verbatim. As for whether to receive him or not, that depends on
Your Majesty, please come and arrange a place for Her Majesty the Queen to rest."
Cleopatra was not angry at this time. Her goal had been basically achieved. The two little women in front of her had obviously taken the bait. To catch the big fish like Li Yuan, of course, she had to use a more attractive lure.
When necessary, Cleopatra doesn't mind going into battle herself.
Judging from the two pretty girls left in Li Yuan's palace, the Shenwu Emperor of Qin was not ignorant of beauty. He was just a man with a special personal orientation, and Cleopatra
She has sufficient confidence in how to attract lustful men, even though she has already passed her prime.
——.
In the bedroom.
When the three women were performing a play, the center of their attention was Li Yuan, the Shenwu Emperor of the Qin State, who was reviewing memorials at his residence in the city. He was wearing a light yellow silk shirt, which was transported long distance from the east.
The green tea leaves a faint fragrance between your lips and teeth, which makes you feel refreshed.
On the case table.
Piles of bamboo slips, silk books and rough linen pieces have been sorted out. The written records on them include the human history, geographical features, strength of forces and the personality characteristics of opponents in Europe. Among them, the most massive and diverse
A pile of records from Rome.
"The Romans broke out? Does Scipio want a decisive battle as soon as possible? If there is a battle, the Romans' main attack direction will be the Iberian Peninsula in the west, the Balkan Peninsula in the east, or if they are more bold,
Directly deploy troops through the naval fleet to attack the eastern coast of the Mediterranean?"
What is Scipio's intention? It is very important for the next move of the Qin army. From the analysis of the current situation in Li Yuan's hands, there are no obvious signs of mobilization of the Roman army, which requires more intelligence to support it.
