Chapter 502: Britannia Forms an Alliance with the Far East (Part 2)
February 25, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
Evening points. (Su Cheng and others were having a banquet in Bright Village)
Far East, prairie, central royal court.
The central royal court where the Xiongran people, the supreme ruler of the grassland people, lived, changed the atmosphere from the past to serious and tense due to the visit of distinguished guests.
In front of the big tent where Shanyu lived, two rows of warriors armed from head to toe stood solemnly, waiting on both sides of the big tent.
"Welcome—the envoys of the Britannia Empire!!"
A loud shout echoed in everyone's ears.
As the shouts fell, the envoys of the Britannia Empire headed by Bancro appeared on the skyline in the opposite direction to the entrance of Shanyu's tent, walking straight and unhurriedly. He walked towards Shanyu's tent.
"Are you here..." A long-haired warrior standing on either side of Shan Yu's tent murmured, "The Britannia people... Qimo, this is your first time seeing the Britannia people. ? Take advantage of this precious opportunity to take a good look."
The second half of the long-haired warrior's sentence was spoken to a tall young warrior standing next to him, less than 20 years old.
After hearing what the long-haired warrior said, the young warrior who was called Qiemo by the long-haired warrior turned his head slightly and looked at the envoys of the Britannia Empire who were approaching here.
"Ajiba, the appearance of the Britannia seems to be no different from that of the Hirans and Franks. They all have colorful hair, colorful pupils, very white skin, and high noses. Huh, I'm really curious about them. Isn’t the hair down there also colorful?”
"You can't say that in front of Britannia people. It's very rude." The long-haired warrior - Ajiba smiled bitterly, "Seeing the Britannia Empire envoys The leader? That is the envoy who will hold talks with Lord Shan Yu this time - Bancro. Do you see the man next to Bancro who is wearing armor and has a red sword hanging on his waist? That is the knight of the Britannia Empire, and he should be the escort of the envoys this time."
Qi Mo frowned: "Even if their hair and pupils are colorful, why are their swords also colorful and flashy?"
"Don't underestimate the knights of the Britannia Empire, and don't underestimate their knight swords." Ajiba showed an intriguing smile, "The knights are the military attache group of the Britannia Empire. Only those who have the past Only a person's strategy and command level can be made a knight by their emperor. Therefore, there are only two types of knights in the Britannia Empire: those with extraordinary strategy, and those with both extraordinary strategy and extraordinary force."
"And the colorful and flashy swords you just mentioned are their knight swords and a symbol of their status, similar to the Qingguo Festival. What you just said must not be said in front of the knights. It is very taboo. of."
"At the same time, you can't underestimate their swords just because their sword monsters look weird. Their knight swords are made of special metals and forged using special forging techniques. They are veritable swords. It is said that forging a knight sword The money is enough to forge hundreds or even hundreds of ordinary swords."
"So expensive?!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Ah, the envoys are coming soon. Let's stop chatting here and stand up quickly."
…
…
To show solemnity and to advertise their military power,
Shanyu specially arranged for a group of the most elite warriors under his command to stand on both sides of the door of the big tent.
Bancro led the guards and followers through the middle of the warriors waiting on both sides of the big tent entrance, and walked straight towards the big tent entrance.
When he was about to reach the big tent, Bancro turned his head and said to the knight next to him with a red knight's sword hanging on his waist:
"Enli, just stay outside the account while the translator and I go in. You and the prairie warriors here will keep an eye on the account and don't let anyone disturb my meeting with His Excellency Shanyu."
"Yes." Enli, who followed Bancro all the way from the Britannia Empire to the Far East and served as Bancro's escort this time, nodded heavily.
After Bancro and others arrived in front of the big tent, a warrior standing next to the tent respectfully lifted the curtain of the big tent.
After the warrior lifted the curtain of the big tent, Bancro led his translator into Shanyu's big tent.
After Bancro and his translator, who was holding a large rolled map, entered the big tent, the entourage headed by Enli was like these prairie warriors standing on the second side of the tent. Standing on both sides of the tent, guarding the tent together with the prairie warriors.
…
…
After entering the big tent, Bancro saw a short, fat, and dark middle-aged man, kneeling and sitting at the east end of the big tent, facing the west.
Looking at the middle-aged man sitting on his knees facing east and facing west, Bancro said to himself:
——Is that the supreme ruler of the grassland people——Bangchu Keluo Shanyu...
Although this is not Bancro's first mission to the Far East, this is the first time he has met and held talks with Shan Yu.
Bankro walked over slowly, and then knelt down in front of the 17th generation Chanyu - Youchu Kro Chanyu. He sat opposite the Chanyu Yuechu Kro, while the translator knelt and sat down in front of Banker. Behind Luo.
Chanyu sits in the east and faces west, Bancro sits in the west and faces east - this is the etiquette of the grassland people.
Although the grassland people are barbaric and ignorant, they still have some etiquette.
In terms of seating position and order, prairie people have very complicated etiquette.
According to the etiquette of the prairie people, if a distinguished guest comes to visit, the host should sit in the east and face west, while the distinguished guest should sit in the west and face east.
Although Bancro said he didn't know much about the culture of the Huran people and was not very interested in the culture of the Huran people, he still had some understanding of the seating culture of the Huran people.
After all, he often takes part in diplomatic activities with the Far Eastern grassland people. It would be troublesome if he sat in the wrong seat because he did not understand the seating culture of the grassland people.
"Your Excellency Shanyu." Bancroft spoke up first, "This is the first time we meet, and I am the envoy representative of the Britannia Empire - Bancroft Field."
After saying that, Banquero made a salute to the leader of the Han Dynasty.
The Shanyu of the roundabout village also quickly returned the gift and said:
"Nice to meet you, Lord Bancro. Before we officially start our talks, please allow me to express my gratitude to your emperor and your Britannia Empire. Thank you for your selfless assistance to us, Britannia people. We will remember the selfless assistance given to us and may the friendship between our two races last forever!"
