Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 470 The silk that makes people crazy

Beautiful things are always irresistible.Especially clothes like silk, whether they are women or men, are enough to show their noble status.

Therefore, the general immediately agreed without any hesitation.

And Fusu seemed to have made some preparations, since he just took out a silk dress from his bosom.

Putting the silk clothes as thin as cicada's wings into the hands of the general, it even aroused the surprise of the general.

The general didn't make things difficult for Fusu, and led Fusu towards the most magnificent building in Damascus without saying a word.

The general is not stupid, it is impossible for him to swallow such a good thing by himself.Especially with so many prostitutes around him, it is even more impossible to hide it.

Besides, even if he swallowed it all by himself, he might enjoy it with his life.Instead of doing this, it is better to directly introduce Fusu to the owner of this city.

Of course, along the way, Fusu's appearance has already aroused the curiosity of many people.Many smart people also want to snatch Fusu from this general.

However, this general is red-eyed, no matter how high the position is, he is still equal.Even those who have a good relationship on weekdays should not even think about getting close to Fusu.

Invisibly, he seemed to be Fusu's bodyguard.

When Fusu arrived in front of the largest building in Damascus, the people inside seemed to have already made preparations.

A man who looked to be in his 40s, with a saber on his waist and piercing eyes.Especially when he saw Fusu, he showed a kind smile.

Fusu looked at the man in front of him, and knew in his heart that he should have already known about the situation of his group.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone in this huge army?Obviously, someone wanted to compete with Fusu's guiding officer for credit.

However, Fusu didn't mind.The more they are like this, the more they can attract the attention of the powerful.But now, obviously before Fusu could speak, the owner of Damascus City was already very concerned about the silk on Fusu's body.

"Are you the envoy of Daqin?" the middle-aged man in the lead asked cheerfully.

"Exactly." Fusu nodded, but said directly without saluting.

"I know that a few months ago, your army defeated the Parthian army." When the middle-aged man opened his mouth, not only Fusu was slightly surprised, but the people around him were even more surprised.

In their eyes, they all thought that this was just an envoy from a small country, here to curry favor with Rome.However, unexpectedly, this Great Qin was able to defeat the Anxi people.

"However, I am more interested in the clothes on your body now." Ignoring the shock of his subordinates, the middle-aged man showed great enthusiasm and pulled Fusu into the house.

As for Fusu, who was already used to the Western way, he didn't show any discomfort. On the contrary, with the help of Axiuman, he had a good chat with this middle-aged man.

After several exchanges, the middle-aged man didn't seem to be very defensive towards Fusu, but revealed quite a lot of information.

Not only did he tell Fusu his name, family, position, but even the troops gathered in Damascus.

This extremely enthusiastic attitude made Fusu feel vigilant.

Of course, Anthony, the middle-aged man, chatted with Fusu for a long time.Naturally, the topic was also involved in silk.

"Mr. Messenger, I don't know how much silk you have. I am willing to buy it all at a high price." Anthony said with a smile on his face.

Fusu shook his head slightly, showing a hint of frustration and said: "There used to be a lot, but now there is only a little bit left..."

"What's going on?" Anthony frowned, and his smile also subsided a lot.

"Originally, we brought dozens of carts of gifts to make a deal with Rome. But unfortunately, most of them were robbed after the rest."

"Hmph! Those Parthian people are just barbarians. How can they understand the beauty of this silk?" Anthony said in an extremely stiff tone.

"Don't worry, general, although I don't have much silk, but if the general likes it, you can take all of it." Fusu said seriously.

"Really? That's really great!" Anthony looked extremely happy, and even wanted to jump up.

Seeing Anthony's excited look, although Fusu felt that something was wrong, he didn't care too much.In short, with Anthony's relationship, they can be regarded as a foothold in Damascus.

Time passed quickly. In the past few days, Fusu would run to Anthony's place almost every day.The two are also getting more and more familiar with each other, as if they have forgotten their old friends.

However, just as Fusu went to make friends with Anthony as usual.Anthony's words made Fusu's heart tense up.

"I sent all the silk you gave me to the city of Rome. The people in the Senate liked it very much. Moreover, the chief consul is also very interested."

It was this sentence that changed Fusu's perception of Anthony immediately.

Fusu knew the value of silk very well.Put here, it is almost more valuable and attractive than gold.

Moreover, Fusu also said before that he doesn't have much silk now.However, Anthony actually gave it all to others.This requires a lot of courage.

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and Fusu couldn't believe that Anthony would give such a large amount of wealth to others for no reason.What's more, these silks are still priceless.

Obviously, Anthony has other extravagant wishes.Suddenly, Fusu heard the first words Anthony said when he saw him.

Immediately, Fusu began to think about the specific details of the conversation with Anthony when they first met.

After thinking about it, Fusu found out.Anthony, seems to have been showing off his Damascus.There is also how powerful the force in Damascus is today.

Before, Fusu thought it was Anthony's vanity, but now that he thinks about it, Anthony should be revealing his strength to himself.

"Presumably, people in Rome will like it very much, right?" Fusu, who had figured it out, looked at Anthony calmly.

"Yes! I like it very much." Anthony saw that Fusu understood what he meant, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious.

"You also told them that a large amount of silk was robbed by the Parthians?"

"Of course, otherwise, what would I do with those fine silks?"

"Hahaha!" Fusu suddenly laughed, "It seems that General Anthony, we have a common language!"

"It's not a common language, but a common interest!" Anthony shook his head and said.

That's right, Yingzheng wanted to go west, so he ruled out Fusu.And Anthony wants to continue the Eastern Expedition and expand his influence.The two coincide.

But Antony was equally aware of the natural opposition between the senate and the consuls.He is a consul, so if he wants to go east, especially when the Parthians have gathered a large number of troops on the border, the Senate will never let him attack easily.

But now, when Anthony was really dozing off, Fusu brought the pillow over.

As for whether the people in the Senate would go to war because of silk, Anthony did not dare to guarantee 100%, but he was sure that at this moment, most people in the Senate were already moved.

After all, they opposed the attack for their own interests before, and now they will naturally support the attack for their own interests.

"Since this is the case, then Fusu will no longer hide it. There is a piece of news that the general will be very interested in." Fusu stood up and walked towards Anthony.
