Li Shun hurried out of the hotel and saw a woman wearing a black dress wrapped in a headscarf covering her face. She seemed to know Li Shun. She said hello nervously and then took Li Shun to a Leshe not far away. Several imperial guards wanted to follow, but Li Shun waved his hand to stop him.

He was very nervous and looking forward to it. Perhaps the person who wanted to see him was the concubine with big sapphire eyes in Antioch III.

This concubine, Li Shun, had already casually asked about the banquet with the nobles of Anxi a few days ago. Her name was Asia. She didn't dare to ask more details. If she asked too much, she was afraid of being beaten.

It is exciting to secretly meet the wife of an imperial emperor, so the fewer people know, the better.

The closer to Leshe, Li Shun felt that his little heart was pounding more and more, and he even had a dry mouth and wanted to pee.

Leshe, similar to the Quyuan in Daqin, was controlled by nobles and merchants. Many women who made a living by selling their bodies and colors. These women sing and danced for many years and provided entertainment for the rich and nobles who came to entertain.

In Absian, women's status is lower than China, and the Western countries are still in a slave society, and slave trading is very prosperous. The purpose of the war is to conquer the enemy and grab wealth and population. Although the civilians in the Absian Empire were basically Persians, most of the nobles were descendants of Greek soldiers who left after the Eastern Expedition with Alexander the Great, which caused a huge difference in class status between the two people. The pure-bred Persians were actually at the bottom of social life, and they all worked the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest labor to maintain basic livelihoods. A large amount of wealth was plundered and controlled by the nobles and officials.

After Alexander the Great conquered the powerful Persia, he held a large-scale collective wedding in the capital Susa City. Not only did he marry Princess Stathara, the beautiful daughter of the Persian king Darius III, but he even let his eighty officers marry the noblest noble women of the Persian Empire. These noble women were the daughters or granddaughters of the Persian royal family or provincial governors. Then he rewarded more than 10,000 second-class Persian noble women to his soldiers. This huge collective wedding lasted for five days and five nights. This special collective wedding completely changed the blood structure of the Persians. The descendants all had the dual bloodlines of Persia and Macedonia, achieving the ideal of Alexander the Great to merge Persia and Macedonia.

Unfortunately, Alexander the Great did not receive the support of the soldiers. He wore Persian clothes, performed Persian etiquette, and married Persian women and other activities, which led to the soldiers thinking that Alexander the Great had fallen into a Persian and had given up the people of Macedonia. Therefore, the soldiers began to be dissatisfied. Just the second year after Alexander the Great conquered Persia, he died of illness. The powerful Macedonian Empire collapsed instantly, and many senior officials rebelled against Macedonia and established itself as kings in Central, East, East, Asia, Europe and Africa.

The Seleucid Kingdom was one of the largest countries. It ruled the vast area of ​​the Pamir Plateau in the west to Asia Minor and the east to Afghanistan. It was actually the predecessor of the Silence Empire. Later, Seleucid failed in the war with Egypt for the holy land of Palestine. The Parthian Province became independent, which was the real origin of the current Silence Empire. After three generations of emperors, the Silence had occupied most of the land of the Seleucid Kingdom and became the largest empire in West Asia and the Middle East.

This is actually similar to the process of the Qin Dynasty replacing the Zhou Dynasty. It is still those people and those things, but it is just a different emperor.

But now the people in Persia no longer have the pride of the Persian Empire. Persia is no longer a pure-bred Persia. In fact, except for the Qin Empire in the east, the races in Central Asia, West Asia, Europe, North Africa and other places have become impure after hundreds of years of full-scale war.

In the music hall, you can hear the sound of whimpering suona from the distance, as well as the sound of pounding drums and the tingling guzheng plucking.

Listening to such a noisy and complex musical sound, Li Shun's mood suddenly became a little irritated after stepping into the Leshes.

The music in Western countries is so noisy, especially the suona, which sounds even more deadly than the huqin. The sound of slaughtering a pig like a killing cloud is a huge killer weapon. It is as lively as a noisy mule and horse market, far less melodious and elegant than the music played by bamboo bells and chimes in the Quyuan in the Central Plains.

But as the saying goes to the local customs, Li Shun has gradually become accustomed to this kind of high-pitched music that crys loudly like sorrow and joy. Listening to the magical suona, stepping on the drum beats of the hand drum, following the palace maids and passing through several filthy noisy courtyards in the music hall, lifting up one low small door after another with exquisite blanket curtains. The sound of suona and drum music lingering in his ears finally faded away, and finally led by the palace maids to a quiet courtyard.

The courtyard is obviously much more elegant. Not only flowers, plants and trees, but also a small pond, but also a statue. A burly man riding on a monster, wearing armor and holding a long sword in his hand. The monster's mouth opened and roared, but a stream of water spewed out of his mouth, which kept falling into the pond.

Next to the pond was a beautiful woman in a long snow-white dress, about twenty years old, her brown hair was tied behind her head with a red ribbon, and her tall figure and full breasts. Although she was not as delicate as a Central Plains woman, she was much fair and had extremely delicate facial features. Especially her beautiful big eyes like sapphire, she felt like she was about to sink and unable to extricate herself.

It's Asia.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then Li Shun secretly swallowed his saliva and surrendered, bowed politely and said, "I wonder what instructions did the princess asks me to come?"

Asia obviously couldn't understand Li Shun's words, so she hesitated for a while and walked to Li Shun, looking Li Shun up and down several times and speaking: "%#@..."

The sound is very good, but Li Shun has countless two-ha who are barking up to the sky.

Damn, I only understood one word, that is Daqin.

"Princess, we need a few translations to communicate!" Li Shun didn't care whether the woman could understand and put forward her own suggestions.

Asia frowned slightly, and a little hesitated on her beautiful cheeks. She probably guessed what Li Shun was saying, but after a moment she shook her head slightly and handed Li Shun an ancient parchment that had been holding in her hand.

Li Shun took it for no reason and opened it. It seemed to be a map on it, which looked strange and strange, like a Persian word that was dug out by a rake. He didn't recognize any of them.

Looking at Li Shun's confused look, Asia slowly walked to Li Shun's side and stretched out her snow-white slender fingers to one of the positions.

Li Shun:...

These fingers are so tempting. Li Shun felt his heart thumping and his mouth began to dry out.

“%￥#@…”

Asia said something to Li Shun again, and found that Li Shun was still confused. So after hesitating for a long time, she took out a piece of soft sheepskin from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Shun's hand. Her beautiful big eyes looked at him with pleading.

"Gift……"

Seeing that Li Shun had not yet understood what she meant, Asia thought about taking off an exquisite ruby ​​pendant from her neck and put it in Li Shun's hand, and gently holding Li Shun's hand.

Li Shun shivered and understood. It seemed that this woman wanted to exchange gifts with her for life.

But...but you are the wife of the Emperor of the Rest Empire!

Li Shun instantly felt blood flowing in his body, and his temples were also leaping. These hands were not only white, but also soft and smooth.

"Gift...gift..."

Looking at the woman's expectant eyes and beautiful cheeks, Li Shun came back to her senses and touched her body a few times, and found that she didn't seem to have anything valuable on her body. The jade pendant that she used to hanging in Daqin on weekdays has been put in her suitcase since she set off. Because the journey is long and complicated, it is easy to lose her jade pendant on her body. However, after Li Shun searched for it, she still found a small object she carried with her, a glass mirror the size of a palm, and the wooden handle was broken. After washing up in the morning, he put it in his pocket.

"Hehe, there is no other gift in the hurry. I will give you this mirror that has accompanied me for tens of thousands of miles. Don't underestimate or dislike it. This was invented by the left prime minister of the Great Qin Empire and the Marquis of Qinghe..." Li Shun smiled awkwardly and gently placed the broken-handed mirror in Asia's hand.

"Ah~" Looking at the clear face presented in the mirror, Asia was instantly attracted by the mirror. After exclaiming, she quickly covered her mouth and stared at the mirror with her big eyes straight in the mirror. Her beautiful cheeks were filled with an unparalleled look of shock.

This was something that made her feel more magical and mysterious than silk and porcelain glass. She confirmed that the entire world could never find a second one.

Asia seemed afraid of attracting other people's attention. After saying a few words to Li Shun, she hid the mirror and took the palace maid away. Li Shun still didn't understand the few words she said before leaving.

What exactly does this mean? Li Shun stood in the yard with two pieces of sheepskin for a few minutes and then came back to his senses. He put away the two pieces of sheepskin and returned from the same route.
