"Ambassador Herodian, I didn't expect that we would meet once." Liu Tong was very fond of Herodian, a guy who brought her a lot of gifts every time when he was ambassador, so after Herodian came to the Han Dynasty again , Liu Tong rarely received him at the court meeting, and Herodian also gave Liu Tong a lot of gifts in a very graceful manner.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Herodian bent his arms and made a half-length salute, then presented the gift list and documents, "I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look."

Herodian actually came here just to invite the Han Dynasty to participate in the games. After Rome entered the new era, it has not started the Olympic Games for a long time. As a Roman who inherited the Aegean civilization and has a Greek heritage, for this ancient I am still very interested in the sports games that have a long history in Greece.

Therefore, after Severus dealt with the internal incident, he decided to hold a sports meeting. Although Pompianus fell ill after receiving Severus' plan, Pompianus was not the only one who could work these days. Nus, his son Pomponi was equally able to work.

So Severus had Pompianus carried away and asked Pomponi to preside over the Olympic Games.

However, Rome is one of the beacons of the world. It is very boring to play the Olympics alone. If you want to play, play bigger. So Severus decided to invite the Han Dynasty and Kushan to participate in the Olympic Games. Anyway, you have been fine recently, and Didn't start a fight?

"Olympic Games?" After reading his credentials, Liu Tong looked at Herodian with some confusion as to what this was.

Herodian began to explain in detail in the Han Dynasty court. A group of people were amazed and finally decided to participate. However, participation was a competition. The generals of the Han Dynasty felt that the Roman sports were not interesting enough and needed to add a few interesting events.

Herodian understood this. This was of course acceptable. Since Lahanshi and Kushan participated in the Olympic Games together, of course the rules must be adjusted to accommodate the advantages of the three parties. Otherwise, it would be too boring to just play at home. .

"Wait, why are there sports such as gladiatorial arenas and tiger-leopard fighting? Is this considered a sport?" Liu Tong looked at the contents of the sports meeting and frowned. This is a bit too bloody and violent. Although it is very exciting, it cannot be In this way, it is said to be exercise.

"These can all be adjusted comprehensively," Herodian said grandly.

Anyway, it was the Lahan Room who came to compete, mainly because it was too boring to play alone. Even though Rome was a large empire, it could still gather more than a hundred provinces, but everyone knew who was good and who was not, and there was really no way to satisfy someone. He has a desire to bet on dogs, so he invites the Han room to play together.

"That's okay, I'll arrange for a professional." Liu Tong expressed satisfaction, and then asked someone to transfer the credentials to Chen Xi, who received it and started to come up with ideas.

"Football, there must be football. Football is mankind's favorite sport. This is the hope to break out of Asia and the world! No matter what the Olympics, football is the right way!" Chen Xi took the hand from Liu Tong After receiving the letter of credence and returning to the Political Yuan to start studying which sports to arrange to play with Rome, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang came riding Gungun.

"Yes, yes, we must have football. If we have football, our Han royal family will support it!" When Liu Ye stood up and was about to deny Yuan Shu, the gambling dog, Liu Zhang directly pushed Liu Ye aside, shut up, don't speak, it must be There is football.

"Okay, the question is, is that football? Do you have detailed rules for that thing?" Chen Xi looked at the two of them speechlessly, using his kneecaps to wonder why these two things were promoting football so hard. Betting on dogs!

I dare not say that football can bring about the largest legal dog gambling in the world, but it can at least bring about a large number of them. As the black bank bosses, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang will certainly not miss this opportunity. After receiving After the news, he immediately ran out of the double room in prison to promote the globalization of football.

"No problem. The rules of our football are very simple. As long as you don't attack the referee, of course the referee strikes first and you can hit the referee." Yuan Shu said very loudly.

"This..." Chen Xi looked at the two people speechlessly. This is okay. Anyway, there are doctors around this level of competition. In addition, the quality of human beings these days is really good. There is no cloud suppression, and it is not easy to be killed. , even if an arm or leg is broken, it can be repaired quickly.

"No, we still have professionals, Gong Heng, hurry up and order us a better football rule that can be promoted to the world. Whether we can make a lot of money this time depends on whether football can rush to the world." Yuan Shu said. With a snap of his fingers, Man Wei, the royal gold medal litigator, appeared directly.

Chen Xi had nothing to say. Man Wei started to press the rules on the spot, preparing to make a rule that seemed reasonable and enforceable. Then Man Chongbian showed up with Tingwei Right Prisoner.

"Drag them back to the imperial prison." Man Chong said to Tingwei's right prisoner expressionlessly, "The crime of escaping from prison will be increased by one level, and we should put shackles on them."

Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were dragged away in a hurry, leaving Man Wei to start compiling the rules. Man Chong gave his eldest son a fierce look and left.

"You can't really choose football, right?" After Man Wei wrote down the rules and left, Liu Ye said with a headache.

"It's a pretty good sport, why not choose it?" Chen Xi waved his hand and said.

"This thing can easily lead to gambling." Liu Ye sighed and said, "If you ask me, I'd better choose something else."

Chen Xi refused, and Liu Ye was helpless. He always felt that something would happen in football. However, Liu Ye didn't know that football was already a relatively normal sport.

Because a few days later, the three fools from Congling recommended a new sport in the name of Liehou called circumpolar arctic ice survival long-distance running.

Of course, this movement was blocked by Chen Xi, but the popularity of the three fools was extremely terrible. They persuaded Duke Ganassis of the eastern border county in Rome next door, the commander of the Third Eagle Banner Corps, and the Tenth Knight, and then Rome sent a note , indicating that the survival long-distance running in the extremely cold ice around the Arctic is very good. In short, it highlights that one is not afraid of death.

Are you afraid of the third eagle flag? Isn't it the Arctic Circle? It makes me feel like I have never been there. The giant has turned into a long leg. Who is afraid of who?

Is the Tenth Knight afraid? The invincible Tenth Knight said that I can finish the race riding on Thirteen Roses! So this bad event was forced to pass by the organizer.

Originally passed, but no one participated, so that's it. The problem is that there are many people who are not timid. Why did the Xiliang Iron Cavalry once do survival training in the arctic ice and have super strong survival ability in the wild? Are you looking down on our Bingzhou Wolf Riders? join!

We Slavs are the kings of ice and snow, join in!

We Inuit are the real kings of ice and snow, what Slavs, you scum, join in!

We are invincible in the white disaster, ice and snow, the Arctic is our home, join in!

Our Twenty Eagle Flags are brave and invincible. The extreme cold is nothing but a hammer. We can shine on our own. It’s just a game for the brave. Let’s take part!

So there were tens of thousands of people participating in this almost fatal event, and there was nothing Chen Xi could do about it. In addition, the organizer had already approved it, so Chen Xi also passed it.

However, this was not the end yet. After this movement emerged, Hua Xiong next door refused to accept it and proposed K2 8,000m, the ultimate alpine skiing, without tracks and without skateboarding mode!

If the last game could still be considered a game for the brave, this one was simply asking for death. However, Hua Xiong’s proposal was approved because there were too many people who wanted to participate.

Isn’t it just downhill skiing? I am a white horse Yicong who can fly and participate!

Are you the only one who can fly? When I see you can fly, I can too. My fourteen eagle flag is no less than anyone else’s. If you participate, you can fly!

Can you fly? I, the Valkyrie Legion, have the ability to float beyond the limits, so that you can see what real speed skating is! Participate, who is afraid of whom?

At this time, Chen Xi already felt that something might be wrong with this movement.

However, at this time, Gan Ning, who had capsized numerous times in the Pacific Ocean and was being chased by sharks, suggested that everyone remember to carry a blood bag in the Pacific Rim Swimming Competition without equipment.

I don’t know how to describe this anymore. It’s more like seeking death. Chen Xi vetoed it, but Rome received Gan Ning’s sports proposal and changed the difficulty. It became a circumnavigation of the Mediterranean, a swimming competition without equipment. In short, it was a lap around the Mediterranean. .

There were so many people participating, so many that even people like Zang Ba participated, because after carefully studying the rules, Zang Ba found that walking across the water was considered swimming. This was a great victory. He couldn't swim. You, but we can run on the water!

What, you said I don’t have the ability to pass all terrain? Ah, I have forgotten, as long as I forget this fact, I can run around on the water.

After that, there were horse racing, sprinting, and archery. Because there were too many small sports, Rome integrated them into a series of activities. The Han Dynasty called it the Junzi Six Arts Hunting Competition. Cheng Yu took off his clothes directly to express that any one of the Junzi Six Arts I couldn't bear it and decided to participate.

So the rules of this thing were changed to horse riding first, then driving, then archery and hunting, and finally chariot sword fighting. The Romans accepted it, and Chen Xi was naturally indispensable, plus some Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Alex In the boxing sport that Sandro and others participated in, Chen Xi already felt that this Olympic Games was full of all kinds of atmosphere.

Based on this situation, Chen Xi thought about it and finally decided to add a few regular-looking sports to it, such as table tennis, tennis, and basketball. Although Chen Xi didn't know the rules very well, it was roughly like that. These seemed to be no problem. .

Just like that, the Rome Olympic Games began, and in order to make the games interesting enough, Rome said that they also invited other teams, such as the Evil God Team and the Ancient God Team.

After Chen Xi received the receipt, he no longer had any hope for this sports meeting.
