"Dear General Qiebi Heli, General Xue, and envoy Silo will greet you on behalf of the great Roman emperor!" An Eastern Roman man with brown hair and high nose and deep nose walked into the tent of the military camp, and then bowed to Qiebi Heli on the main position and Xue Wanche next to him in standard Chinese.

Cherze and Heli looked up and down at the Eastern Roman envoy in front of them. Just yesterday afternoon, a team that claimed to be the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire came to Nehavand's Tang army camp and asked to have an interview with Cherze and Heli. They also held a letter written by Constance II, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. After identification by the Beluth and his son, it was confirmed that the other party was indeed an envoy sent by the Eastern Roman.

After confirming the other party's identity, Qi Heli and Xue Wanche, who had long understood the situation in West Asia and Southern Europe, immediately understood the purpose of the Eastern Romans, and at the same time, they finally understood why the great cannibals were so anxious to negotiate before.

In fact, this matter is very simple. After defeating the Persians, Dashi fought with Eastern Rome, which was also an ancient civilization, and occupied all the southern and eastern provinces of Eastern Rome. It can be said that the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia were in the same way, but their situation was undoubtedly much stronger than Persia. At least the capital of the empire was not lost, and the army was still intact. At the same time, they also had a relatively strong navy in the Mediterranean.

Since we know the above, the purpose of these envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire is self-evident. We must have come to demand an alliance and then fight against Dashi together. Regarding this, Qiheli and Xue Wanche had already negotiated with the Belus and his son last night, thinking that this was a good opportunity. After all, Dashi is the strongest now. Eastern Rome only has the strength of self-defense, while Persia needs the support of the Tang Dynasty's army, so it is not strong. Now it is beneficial to everyone to join forces.

It is precisely because of these things. So today, Chibiheli met the Eastern Roman envoy in the tent, and the Bilus and his son were also sitting next to him. Speaking of which, Yazdegeld III and Bilus are very content now, and they also understand their identity very well. When facing Chibiheli and others, they also acted as a vassal state. This also made the Tang Dynasty very satisfied with their father and son, and the assistance to Persia was also smooth. For example, they are now expanding a local city and named it Guangming City, and before regaining the capital Taixifeng, Guangming City will temporarily become the capital of Persia.

After meeting with Qibi Heli and others, the Eastern Roman envoy, who claimed to be Silo, then sat down with the guests and hosts. However, what surprised Qibi Heli and others was that the envoy of Silo not only speaks Chinese, but also seemed very familiar with the etiquette of the Tang people. From the beginning of entering the door to the place, it was very polite and without any rudeness. Of course, it would be fine if the other party was a small country around the Tang Dynasty. But Silo was a Roman who was far away in the west, which was surprising.

However, no matter how surprised Qibing Heli was, he was not good at asking questions on such a formal occasion. Moreover, the other party had no intention of explaining. He spoke up and expressed his intention to form an alliance with His Majesty the Emperor and the Tang Dynasty and Persia. He also analyzed the benefits of the alliance between the Three Kingdoms and exaggerated the threat of the Dashi to world peace.

Although Chevre and Yazdegeld III knew that the other party's words were a bit exaggerated, but the alliance was only good for them, so they did not object. The alliance book was drafted on the spot, written in Chinese, Persian and Greek, and then signed by the three people. Although the Eastern Roman Empire has always regarded itself as a pure Roman, it has actually been Hellenized in China, and even the language is used in Greek.

As a general of the Tang army, Chiba Heli was also the general of the Tang army. Before leaving, Li Shimin granted him the power to make decisions in front of the formation. In addition, Yazdegeld III was the current monarch of Persia. Although Persia is a bit miserable now, as long as he does not die, he has the right to represent Persia. As for Siro, he was originally responsible for the mission of alliance, so he was naturally granted the power of full agency. Therefore, from the moment the three signed, this alliance treaty had legal effect.

In fact, the so-called alliance of the ancients was very simple. It was not like the later countries that wanted to sign a contract, so they were both negotiating and negotiating. They were embarrassed to start writing without making trouble for a few months. For example, the alliance signed by Qibing Heli and others simply stated that when any of the three countries was attacked by Dashi, both sides had the obligation to send troops.

This is a very simple military alliance, each stipulates an obligation and right, and there are no other conditions. However, in the next step, Siro proposed to hope to trade directly with the Tang Dynasty. After all, the territory to the west of the Tang Dynasty has reached the east coast of the Caspian Sea. Not far west after passing the Caspian Sea, it is Armenia between Eastern Rome and Dashi. Eastern Rome also has considerable influence there, so this is a relatively safe trade route, which also gives the Tang Dynasty and Eastern Rome the basis for direct trade.

As a military general, Qibi Heli naturally could not give any answers to the other party about the trade request made by Xiluo. Xiluo also knew this, so he took the opportunity to propose that he hoped to go to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he could ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree. Qibi Heli also agreed and also issued a passport for them.

After the main talks were over, Qie Heli set up a banquet to entertain Xiluo and other envoys. At the banquet, everyone had some things they could not ask before, but now they could also ask. For example, Qie Heli and Xue Wanche were very curious. This envoy of Xiluo not only spoke well in Chinese, but also was very familiar with the Tang Dynasty, which naturally aroused their curiosity.

Siro did not hide the curiosity of Qie Heli and others. He only saw him reaching out to pull out a red ribbon from the clothes under his neck. The ribbon had changed a little color. It seemed that it was often worn on his neck. Under the red ribbon, there was a gold medal.

Xiluo took the medal off his neck, then sent it to Qieheli with both hands and smiled: "Please look at General, you should know this medal!"

As soon as Xi Luo took out the medal on his neck, Qi Bi Heli and Xue Wanche were immediately surprised because they recognized it at a glance. It was a medal from the Tang Dynasty Sports Games. And looking at this style, it should be the first Winter Games hosted by the brothers Li Yan and Li Ke.

When they took it and looked carefully, they confirmed their previous conjectures. At the same time, they also found that the front of the medal was an athlete throwing a javelin, which means that this should be the champion medal of the javelin group of that Winter Games.

"I happened to be in Chang'an for that Winter Games, and I watched it from beginning to end. If I remember correctly, the javelin champion seemed to be won by a Tubo warrior." Qibing Heli had a good memory and still remembered everything ten years ago very clearly.

"Yes, I remember that the other party was a Tubo warrior." Xue Wanche also frowned, but then he seemed to think of something again and said with surprise, "By the way, I remember that the Tubo warrior looked strange, not like an ordinary Tubo people, but was somewhat similar to the Western Regions..."

When Xue Wanche said this, he suddenly turned to look at Xi Luo, looked at the other party carefully, and finally slapped his head, pointed at Xi Luo and laughed: "I remember that His Highness of Qi was still very interested in the Tubo warrior at that time, and summoned the other party. Later, news came out that it was said that the other party was a Roman noble who was wandering in Tubo. Could it be a noble envoy..."

Xue Wanche did not finish his words, but the meaning in his eyes was already very clear. After hearing this, Qibing Heli also looked at Siro with some doubts. However, he just finished watching the game from afar in the stands and didn't care much afterwards. In addition, the appearance of the Romans was actually similar in his eyes, and he couldn't remember the name of the Tubo warrior, so he naturally had no way to judge.

After hearing this, Xiluo also laughed and admitted generously: "The two generals guessed it well. I was the Tubo warrior from that time. When I was fighting with the Great Cannibal, I was unfortunately not captured. Later, I was wandering in Tubo and entered the Royal Guard. Later, I was even more fortunate to come to the Tang Dynasty and participated in the first sports meeting held by His Highness Qi. It can be said that that period was the best time when I was wandering outside. This exquisitely made gold medal is also something I cherish. It can be said that I never leave. Even in Rome, someone gave a thousand gold coins to buy this gold medal, but I rejected it."

When Xi Luo said these words, his eyes were full of excitement. It can be seen that he missed his experience in the Tang Dynasty very much. In fact, that sports meeting did change Xi Luo's fate. As the second person to win the gold medal in Tubo, he was trusted by Songtsen Gampo after returning to Tubo and soon became a middle-level military officer in the Tubo army. However, he always wanted to return to Rome, so later he took advantage of the opportunity to patrol the border between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to escape to the south of the Tang Dynasty.

Next, Silo lived in the Tang Dynasty for another two years, and finally arrived in Guangzhou. Then he followed a fleet to Tianzhu to travel south. Finally, he found a caravan from Persia and then went to Siya after several twists and turns. At that time, Persia and Dashi were fighting, and he also went through life and death. Perhaps hard work paid off, Silo finally returned to Constellation Danteburg in Rome six years ago.
