Although Li Ke's refusal made Prince Theodosius very disappointed, he was not a person who gave up easily, so when he finally left, he expressed again that he hoped that Li Ke could go to his house for a visit when he came back from outside the city. This time, it made it difficult for Li Ke to refuse, so he had to agree.

After seeing off Prince Theodosius, Cen Changqian immediately complained to Li Ke: "Your Highness refused very well at first, but in the end you really shouldn't have agreed to Prince Theodosius' invitation!"

"Oh, why is that?" Li Ke sat down and had a sip of the tea ceremony. It was Cen Changqian who wrote behind his back just now to refuse the other party's invitation. Now it's time to listen to his reasons.

Cen Changqian said, "Your Highness, I don't know. A few days ago, I also collected some information about Rome, and all aspects of the information showed that although Prince Theodosius and Constans II were relatives, Brother, but the relationship between the two is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and in our identities, there is really no need to get too close to each other."

Li Ke was taken aback after hearing this, and immediately understood a little bit. It seems that there are also court struggles within the Roman Empire.Then his face changed, and he asked again: "Changqian, do you know the details of this?" Capital Datang 655

But Cen Changqian said helplessly after hearing this: "His Royal Highness, except for the first few days, we have never dared to deal with the Roman nobles, and this also involves court disputes, so few people understand So I only know this little bit, but I still don’t know more detailed information.”

Li Ke also showed a helpless expression when he heard it. He thought he could take this opportunity to make friends with several important Roman nobles, but he didn't expect that the customs here were too different, at least he couldn't accept it.

But Cen Changqian suddenly said with joy on his face, "Your Highness, although we don't know the situation between the brothers Constans II. But you can ask Queen Irina, she must be more than Anyone knows."

Li Ke also nodded after hearing this, and it seemed that this was the only way to go, so he immediately ordered people to hurry up and prepare.

"Swoosh~" A long arrow pierced through the grass, and shot a galloping hare with incomparable accuracy.

"'Shot' hit, Your Highness is really amazing!" A charming female voice praised, and then three horses came galloping from a distance, immediately a man and two women, all wearing convenient hunting clothes.Among them, the man held a bow and arrow. The style of the bow and arrow was obviously different from that of the Romans. He was Li Ke from the Tang Dynasty, and the woman beside him was Kelisi who was acting as an interpreter.The other one is naturally Queen Irina, the hostess of this manor.

Early this morning, Irina took Li Ke and the others to the manor in a carriage, and entertained them very warmly. In the afternoon, she proposed to hunt in the manor, which made people who hadn’t hunted for a long time Li Ke also agreed very much, so a group of people rode to the hunting area of ​​the manor.

Queen Irina has an unspeakable affection for Li Kebao.Naturally, this couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Cen Changqian and the others, so when they started hunting, they deliberately lagged behind by a certain distance to create opportunities for the two of them.

before coming to Rome.I am afraid that Cen Changqian and others never dreamed that they would like Li Ke to have an affair with the Roman Queen.But as the saying goes, do as the Romans do, even their husbands didn't care about Roman women's cheating, and some people even encouraged their wives to cheat.Even emperors and queens were no exception, which was quite normal for the Romans.So Cen Changqian and the others naturally didn't take it seriously, not to mention that if Li Ke was really able to hook up Queen Irina, he would still get a lot of benefits from the other party, such as intelligence and the like.

As the son of Li Shimin, Li Ke has been hunting with his father since he was a child, and his arrow skills are also among the top among all his brothers. Therefore, in just an hour, Li Ke has already "shot" a deer and a deer to death. Two pheasants, plus this hare, would already be four prey, but Irina still got nothing.

I saw Irina galloping forward on her horse, and then jumped off the horse to pick up the hare that Li Ke shot to death. Today she was wearing a Roman hunting suit, and she looked charming with a little more heroic spirit. Extraordinarily charming.The hunting suit Li Ke is wearing is the Hu suit brought from the Tang Dynasty, and it has absorbed some characteristics of the army uniform in Li Min's hands. It is divided into upper and lower garments. It is not only convenient for hunting, but also sets off Li Ke's extraordinary heroism. .

"His Royal Highness King Wu is really good at arrows. Among the entire Roman nobles, I am afraid that no one is your opponent!" Irina praised without concealment.The Romans were more accustomed to using javelins on the battlefield. Coupled with the backwardness of bow and arrow manufacturing technology, they did not pay enough attention to bows and arrows. Therefore, most Roman nobles were not very proficient in bows and arrows. The Romans were at the forefront.

"The queen praised me a lot. My arrow skills are nothing among the Han people. Even among the princes, there are a few people whose arrow skills are much better than mine!" Li Ke said very modestly.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is too polite. This is not the Holy Palace, so stop calling me Queen, and just call me by my name." Irina said shyly.

Although she and Li Ke didn't know each other for a long time, Irina gradually discovered that she had been "fascinated" by the prince who came from afar, especially compared with her husband, Li Ke not only seemed more She is mature and stable, and her conversation temperament is more noble, and she doesn't have the "faults" of Roman men. She is simply a perfect dream lover.

And Li Ke was also moved when he heard Irina's words. He is over thirty years old, and it is the most attractive moment for a man. He has long been aware of Queen Irina's previous performances. He even let himself call her by her name directly, and he could naturally hear the affection contained in it.

"Irina!" Li Ke called softly.After hearing this, Irina was delighted, and her big blue eyes were fixed on Li Ke.

And Li Ke continued at this time: "Irina, you don't need to call me His Royal Highness Wu Wang in private occasions from now on, you can just call me Sanlang directly."

"San... Lang!" Irina called out the Chinese name very bluntly.Because Ke Lisi didn't know how to translate the name in Greek, so she could only pronounce it in Chinese instead.Capital Datang 655

"Yes." Li Ke agreed, "Normally only my elders, friends and wives would call me by this name."

When Irina heard Li Ke's tone of emphasizing the word "wife" at the end, her face blushed even more, but her heart was extremely sweet. Although neither of them pointed it out clearly, they had already expressed themselves in their words. At this moment, an atmosphere called ambiguity began to permeate between the two of them.

It's a pity that both of them overlooked one point, that is, there was a translator, Chris, beside them. This poor little slave girl felt the ambiguous atmosphere between her master and the Roman queen, which made her feel that her existence was really superfluous. Yes, but she couldn't dodge like Cen Changqian and others, otherwise Li Ke and Irina wouldn't be able to communicate.However, if you are in a relationship, you need to bring an interpreter. Li Ke and Irina can be regarded as the first in the history of love.

About two or three miles behind Li Ke and Irina, Wang Fangyi and Lu Wan raised their bows and took aim at the two pheasants not far in front of them again, then suddenly released the bowstring, and the two long arrows shot ’ came out, and shot the prey almost at the same time.Wang Fangyi is a general, and his arrow skills are naturally superb, while Lu Wan is a pirate, and later worked in the slave hunting team for a long time, so he can play with all kinds of weapons, especially hunting.

Watching the manor slaves around him pick up prey, Wang Fangyi said in a strange way: "Captain Lu, have you noticed that there seem to be too many prey in this manor? gone."

As Wang Fangyi said, he pointed behind him. The slaves arranged by Irina already had a lot of prey hanging on them, most of which were pheasants and hares, and there were even three or four deer.

"Hehe, I know that. In fact, the prey we caught were caught outside by the slaves in the manor, and then put in the manor for the master to hunt. That's why the prey here are so dense." Lu Wan said. laughed.

"So that's the case, no wonder there are so many prey bumping into them along the way!" Wang Fangyi said with a wry smile.Although this method could indeed allow the nobleman to hunt more prey, it seemed too simple and a bit boring to him.

While Wang Fangyi was talking to Lu Wan, a series of laughter like silver bells suddenly sounded from behind them.They knew without looking back that it must be Cen Changqian molesting the maids brought by Irina.

Speaking of it, Cen Changqian is really smart. He learned some Greek from Chris on the road, and coupled with the practice after coming to East Rome, this allowed him to communicate with the Romans in a simple way. She didn't have much interest in hunting, so she started chatting with the maids brought by Irina, mainly to keep them from disturbing Li Ke and the two of them. In addition, they would stay in the manor for a while, so Cen Changqian didn't mind talking with a few of them. had some wonderful relations with the maids.

"Karp~Karp~" Suddenly, the Roman slaves around Wang Fangyi rioted, and at the same time someone started shouting, but unfortunately he and Lu Wan couldn't understand at all.

But it doesn't matter if they don't understand, because they will soon know what the slaves call Karp.I saw a tall wild boar sprang out from the bushes next to it. This wild boar was about one and a half steps tall and more than two steps long. For some unknown reason, it let it run out of the bushes.

"What a big wild boar!" Wang Fangyi was feeling a little bored. He didn't expect such a beast to run out. He was very excited and shot three arrows in a row, and all of them hit the head of the wild boar. One of the arrows also blinded the wild boar in one eye.

As a result, the wild boar howled miserably, turned its head and fled in another direction.Wang Fangyi was just about to ride his horse to chase after him, but Lu Wan who was next to him yelled, "No, the wild boar ran away to where His Highness and the others are!"
