Chapter 152 Responsibility Is Not so Easy to Bear

Hannibal was very familiar with banquets between nobles. This was a good time to get closer.

He also knows that now, he is not qualified to refuse,

So naturally I agreed, and soon, what was just an office space turned into a simple banquet hall.

Zhao Hao was very familiar with these banquet etiquette and so on. He quickly smiled and greeted Xiangzhuang and Zhang Liang who were still standing next to them,

"Guys, please take your seats without being formal."

Who would have thought that after hearing this, the corners of Xiang Zhuang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He actually wanted to refuse.

Because the experience gained from that person made him know that Da Qin's wine is not that easy to drink.

But now the commander-in-chief of Rome is here, and he wants to know Da Qin’s future arrangements for the other party.

Of course, I still wanted to stay, so I gritted my teeth and said,

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will just sit next to you."

He is afraid that if he gets close to the other person, he will be tricked again, so the best way is to just say nothing, let alone agree to anything.

Then, he walked to a seat near the back and sat down.

It's just that Xiang Dalong obviously wants to get closer to Zhao Hao. In his opinion, in terms of status here, only Zhao Hao and Han Xin can compete with him.

Xiang Zhuang thought for a while but didn't stop him. Anyway, Xiang Dalong didn't have actual decision-making power now and couldn't agree to anything, so he wouldn't be cheated.

It is even said that being cheated is not a big problem, as it will last long in your memory.

Didn't his family's overlord come out like this?

So, Xiang Dalong walked towards Zhao Hao carelessly,

Zhang Liang on the other side did not leave, and sat next to Xiang Zhuang.

In his opinion, now that Da Qin is here, the Huns have no hope at all, and the alliance between Chu and Han is almost an inevitable way out.

Liu Heng also followed Xiang Dalong to Zhao Hao.

After everyone was seated, the banquet began.

Having said that we will not talk about business, we can only talk about the different customs and customs of both parties.

What others didn't expect was that Hannibal, the Roman commander, was actually very good at talking.

Even after translation, the introduction of various experiences is extremely fascinating.

Zhao Hao didn't think it was a surprise. He had been educated by the royal family for so many years and already knew that all the great nobles were actually very good in all aspects of ability and cultivation.

But he doesn't think it's just because these people are inherently nobler than others.

Dad said, it’s just that these people have a good life and educational resources, and they have been cultivated since childhood.

Naturally, he did the same, so the two sides seemed to get along very well for a while.

"It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery in Rome is, it can't compare to my hometown of Carthage."

Hannibal said this with a bit of emotion.

Although he has no favorable impression of the Carthage Senate, he is still very nostalgic for his hometown.

At this time, Xiangzhuang and the others came to their senses slightly, and couldn't help but ask that all the information they had about each other was given by Da Qin, but Da Qin did not tell them in detail.

"You are not a Roman?"

Hearing this, Hannibal smiled and said, understanding the reason,

Suddenly, others could understand what happened on the city wall before.

Ying Li on the side suddenly realized why those people were able to break into the city directly.

It turned out that the Romans regarded these people as friendly troops.

But after understanding the cause and effect, everyone's expressions became more complicated.

In fact, they have been fighting steadily with the barbarians for so long, occupying a lot of land, but they have never thought about understanding each other from aspects of culture, etc.

On the contrary, the Qin army, which came from a long expedition, was actually able to take advantage of such a flaw.

To realize a countermeasure,

Although luck plays a huge role in it, after all, if Zhao Hao doesn't catch Tennite, he can only learn more about him.

But this shows that the other party has a long-term vision.

No one wants to face an opponent who is extremely powerful now but still has a long-term vision.

Zhao Hao quickly said with a smile,

"Since you miss your hometown, you don't have to go too far."

Hearing this, others didn't have any special reaction.

Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Liang looked at each other with expressions that were indeed true.

The other party has such a person here, how could he not plant a thorn in Rome and them.

However, they still have doubts. After all, the other party is a foreigner, and there must be checks and balances.

At this moment, they heard the interpreter convey Hannibal's words,

"His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement is very good, but I heard that His Highness the Prince is going back to the Chinese Imperial Capital."

"I want my daughter to go back with you and take a look,"

Before the other party finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Liang cursed secretly.

Old fox.

This is taking the initiative to hand over hostages, and the other party's daughter told the truth, although we have many differences,

But even from the perspective of Chinese people, she can be called a beauty.

Along the way, as long as he uses some tricks, he might become a relative of the royal family.

Just hearing this, Tennette looked at his father in surprise.

her father. I have always had the utmost respect for her, but now I don't ask for any advice from her.

But before she asked, she saw her father give her a rare and extremely stern look.

At this time, Zhao Hao frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at Han Xin aside.

The other party was noncommittal.

After looking at Chao Cuo next to him, he nodded fiercely and returned,

"It's fine, but it's a long way and it's not easy to come back."

Hannibal said with a little emotion,

"People have to be separated sometimes, so I'll trouble you, Your Highness."

After saying that, he took the initiative to drink a glass of wine.

The atmosphere of the banquet quickly became relaxed,

During this period, Zhao Hao also wanted to relax the atmosphere with Xiang Zhuang, Zhang Liang and others.

But I don't know why. No matter what he said, the other two just smiled but didn't speak, which was quite strange.

So Liu Heng asked Xiang Dalong on the side,

"What's bothering your two generals?"

Xiang Dalong curled his lips and said,

"My uncle said, I have suffered enough at your house before, now I need to be more vigilant."

Zhao Hao blinked, what do you mean?

But it also made him a little curious, what kind of evil things did his father do in the past? ?

To actually scare these people like this.

Xiang Dalong looked around at this time and couldn't help but ask,

"Why didn't you see that guard?"

He was still thinking about the other party in his heart.

Zhao Hao took a look and didn't know where Zhao Anan had gone. He didn't dare to care or ask.

So he pretended not to care and said,

"Just a guard, I have other arrangements."

"Since he doesn't want to go back with you and become a general, just give up. We will go back soon."

He knew that his father doted on his sister very much, which meant that no one in the entire Da Qin could force his sister to do anything.

Hearing this, Xiang Dalong couldn't help curling his lips and said,

"I don't know what's good about your Da Qin, but I won't give up on such a talent. This time, my father said that he wants me to go back to Da Qin with you. I will study in Da Qin for four years and then go back."

"I've already asked someone to send me my credentials to Xianyang."

Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said,

"Your father is relieved."

Da Qin and Chu had had a good fight before. It took a lot of courage for the other party to dare to let the prince pass directly.

Xiang Dalong said carelessly,

"What am I afraid of? You and I are brothers after all. You can't attack your brothers."

"You still have to protect me."

"It just so happens that your bodyguard's martial arts is so strong, it will be no problem for me to follow him back."

Then Xiang Dalong looked at Liu Heng next to him and couldn't help but ask,

"Would you like to come with us?"

Liu Heng, who forced himself over from the side, waved his hand a little stiffly and said,

"No need, I have an elder brother named Liu Ying who is coming back from Da Qin soon. I have to receive him."

"However, since Brother Zhao and my sister, Lu Yuanqing, like each other, we can go together."

Now that his father is no longer here, he just let a brother he has never met come over.

Just hearing his words, Zhao Hao's eyes quickly lit up and he said,

"Brother Liu Ying?"

"Is he coming here?"

He is quite familiar with Liu Ying. After all, when he was in the palace, his father often took him with him.

Moreover, the other party and his father also treat each other as brothers and sisters.

Of course, he also called the other party brother Liu Ying. According to what his father said, he let them discuss their own affairs.

Listening to Zhao Hao's words, Liu Heng frowned slightly.

From this point of view, his eldest brother, whom he has never met, seems to have a very close relationship with the Great Qin royal family.

This is not a good sign, so it is impossible for him to leave Dahan now.

So he forced out a smile and returned,

"I received the letter. Counting the days, they should arrive before winter."

Zhao Hao immediately smiled and said,

"Then I'll have a good drink with him then."

Xiang Dalong naturally didn't ask any more questions. He just asked casually, but soon said to Zhao Hao again,

"How are you going to arrange those people?"

He was naturally referring to Hannibal, and the other party didn't make his words clear just now.

But Zhao Hao said haha,

"If you come to vote sincerely, we will naturally treat you kindly. We will discuss it before we discuss it. Today we just have a good get-together."

"It's time to celebrate."

After saying that, he stopped talking about this and just talked about some interesting things with a few people until the banquet was over.

Everyone dispersed, and then someone specially asked Hannibal and his daughter to take them to rest.

On the way to rest, Tennant could no longer suppress his doubts and couldn't help but said,

"Father, why do you want me to follow that prince to China?"

Hannibal did not answer the other party's question directly at this time. Instead, he glanced at the Chinese soldiers around him who were also enjoying the food, and then asked,

"Look at these Chinese people, have you discovered anything?"

After Tennette looked at it carefully, his expression moved slightly, and then he said,

"The food of these Chinese people seems to be similar to what we just ate."

Hannibal nodded with a complicated expression.

"They have a good emperor.".

He was originally from a noble family. Whether it was Rome or Gacer, he met countless nobles and participated in countless banquets.

But today's banquet was the most miserable one.

Although the flavors of the two sides are different, what is certain is that the most common food eaten by soldiers must be

It won't be too good.

But just like that, today the princes and generals of an empire were talking and laughing while eating these foods.

It didn't feel inappropriate at all.

If this were Carthage or Rome, this would not be possible.

The gap between common people and nobles is the gap between heaven and earth.

Even he himself can't do it.

But the more this happened, the more he understood the terrifying meaning it represented.

In an empire where the emperor and ordinary soldiers are one, even without these terrifying weapons, they would not be opponents.

He was convinced in defeat.

Although Tennant didn't know why his father could see from the food these soldiers ate that the other party had a good emperor,

But he still asked immediately,

"Father, you said you would not force me..."

Her father still loved him very much and had always given her freedom, but now he forced her to leave with him. "

Hearing the question, Hannibal couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at his most beloved daughter with a slightly serious expression.

"Yes, father did promise you this."

"But you made these decisions for our soldiers without my permission."

"Then you have to take responsibility!"

"Now we can only survive by relying on China."

"But there must be a strong enough bond between us and China. We are not qualified to sign documents with the other party, so we can only use you as a guarantee for both parties."

"You should try to get as close to him as possible, preferably if you have children!"

Hearing these direct words, Tennette couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Hannibal touched his daughter's head distressedly.

"Responsibility is not so easy to bear."

People must be responsible for the decisions they make, and his daughter is no exception.

At this time, after the banquet, Zhao Hao came directly to Han Xin's camp.

"General Han, this prince has something I would like to ask you for advice."

His arrangement for the other party has been very clear, which is to place it near Rome and make a nail to prepare for the Great Qin in the future.

But when I wanted to discuss it with Han Xin today, the other party didn't respond.

Soon Han Xin returned,

"Your Highness, I only know about military affairs. I'm afraid I can't help with other matters. You can make your own decision."

"Waiting for the situation to settle down here, I will return to the court soon."

After hearing this answer, Zhao Hao could only leave with some disappointment.

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Han Xin remained unmoved.

Xiao He said that it is always right not to get involved in some things if he is not sure about them.

He is already successful and famous, and there is no need to participate in this.

Moreover, the decision made by the other party is actually very good. The details may not be perfect, but there is no need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Han Xin looked in the direction of Da Qin with some emotion.

It has to be said that Da Qin has a successor.

At this time, Zhao Lang was standing on a high slope at the experimental site of Heming Academy outside Xianyang City in the Qin Dynasty, thousands of miles away.

He looked at a huge object not far away with a complicated expression and said softly,

"It's finally out."
