This woman?

This woman is a talisman!

Forced Alexander to attack other city-states first and then attack me, Stobi. I’m counting on her!

How can you kill?

However, I cannot kill!

However, she should also be kept away from outsiders.

She said those harsh words just now to prevent me from forming an alliance with those scapegoat city-states!

Otherwise, why would those city-states be willing to form an alliance with me and die for me?

"Lock her up first! Lock her up in the palace garden and don't let outsiders contact her! Also, no one is allowed to spread what she just said. Otherwise, she will be killed without mercy!" After a moment of hesitation, Xia Zhe made a decision.

This order was quite strange.

However, all the guards, including Lillian, understood what he meant.

Obviously, Wang is going to keep a beautiful girl in his golden house!

Don’t let this Macedonian princess contact the outside world again!

As for why she was locked up instead of being released and made a concubine on the spot, it was also because they had no choice!

After all, this woman is so fierce!

Even Lord Ajax might not be her match in a one-on-one duel!

Looking across the entire Stoby, the only one who can confidently take her down face to face is probably Lord Achilles!

Before he completely conquers her heart, Wang still needs to be careful.

"Tyrant! Who asked you to be so merciful? I am a Macedonian warrior, I am not afraid of death..."

Hearing Xia Zhe's strange decision, Yina opened her eyes in surprise and started another round of cursing.

Too lazy to listen to any more, Xia Zhe waved his hand, signaling the guards to take her away. Only then did he feel a little more at peace.

"My king, please don't blame Lillian for being too nosy. Although you like this Macedonian princess very much, she is a woman from an enemy country after all. It's not right to keep her around!"

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the bedroom, Lillian hesitated for a long time and finally spoke to Xia Zhe to give him some advice.

As the king's personal maid, Lillian, like the high priests, was concerned about the king's excessive preoccupation with state affairs and his neglect of the family line.

This time, the king sacrificed his personal happiness and wanted to use marriage as a means to form an alliance with the surrounding city-states.

In this regard, Lillian not only admires Wang's noble character, but also hopes that Wang can find true love.

However, as talented women like Siren were forced to leave, dangerous people like Ina stayed.

Lillian was really worried.

I love so much?

You said I like the woman who always draws a knife?

After hearing Lillian say this, Xia Zhe was really speechless!

I kept her just to save my own life!

If she hadn't taken action just now, I wouldn't have known she was the Macedonian princess, and I might have really been attracted to her!

But I'm not a horny person who would risk his life, so how could I still like her now?

"Don't worry. I'm not Cao Zhi. I'm not that stupid. How could I write the Goddess of Luo River?" Xia Zhe answered casually.

"The Goddess of Luo River? What is The Goddess of Luo River?" Lillian was stunned and asked back.

"Oh. It's a love epic, written by a man named Cao. It's as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a flying dragon. It's as glorious as the autumn chrysanthemum and luxuriant as the spring pine..." Xia Zhe hurriedly explained.

The Goddess of Luo River is a famous poem by a famous author. It was written by Cao Zhi of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period because he had a crush on his father's concubine.

Of course, Xia Zhe couldn't explain these things. He could only say that these were epic poems written by Eastern poets that he had read. He then recited some excerpts to Lillian.

Hearing this poem so catchy, imaginative and emotional, Lillian felt that it was much better than the classical epic that Princess Treae had performed in the council hall.

Even the Siren's original sacrificial speech cannot compare to this!

Such a good poem. I am a poetry lover, how come I have never heard of it?

Is this really written by an Eastern poet?

Wasn’t it Wang who created it himself, using the name of an oriental poet?

"Is it really written by an oriental poet? Lillian remembers that to the east of the Dardanelles, there are the Persians who are even more barbaric than the northern barbarians. Could they really write something like this? Apart from the elephant soldiers over there, I have never heard of anything else that is more powerful than my Greek continent!" Lillian said suspiciously.

"It's not the Persians, it's from the farther East. I'm not lying to you! There are elephants there too. Cao Zhi's younger brother Cao Chong even weighed an elephant!" Xia Zhe explained casually.

"Weigh an elephant? Aren't elephants very, very heavy? How do you weigh them?" Lillian was puzzled and couldn't help asking again.

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that neither noticed. The Prime Minister and the High Priest had already walked in with Archimedes.

"Why can't I weigh it? Do you understand the principle of leverage? Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the earth!"

Xia Zhe joked.

After saying this, he realized that he had gone a bit too far and continued seriously.

"I was just joking. If you want to move the earth, you can't find such a strong fulcrum and lever. The principle of Cao Chong weighing the elephant is very simple, which is to use the buoyancy of water. First, drive the elephant onto a boat and draw a line at the position where the boat is drafted. Then replace the elephant with pieces of stone, and press it exactly to the position of the drawn line..." Xia Zhe said slowly.

At the end, he did not forget to conclude that this idea was thought up by a six-year-old child.

What a creative idea!

Was it really thought up by the more barbaric barbarians from the East?

I’m afraid it was Wang himself who came up with it when he was six years old!

Lillian smiled knowingly.

In fact, the Prime Minister, the High Priest and Archimedes, who had been standing by without saying anything, had the same idea as Lillian.

The Prime Minister and the High Priest couldn't help but sigh that Wang Zhen was truly amazing.

It turns out that my brain was so flexible when I was very young!

No wonder he can become a wise leader when he grows up!

Archimedes, who was studying buoyancy, was much more shocked when he heard this story than the Prime Minister and others!

So scary!

The King of Stoby is terrible!

He looks to be only in his twenties, yet he has such profound insights!

It turns out that he had discovered the secret of buoyancy when he was six years old!

Compared to him, my thoughts in the bathhouse are really not worth bragging about!

Also, give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth.

The Prime Minister, the High Priest, and Lillian didn't understand what he meant, but Archimedes understood!

This is the principle of leverage!

This is such an insightful and profound summary of a new scientific principle that I want to record it!

"Huh? When did you two get here?"

Finally noticing the presence of the Prime Minister and his two companions, Xia Zhe spoke in surprise.

"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? After the meeting in the council hall this morning, we were supposed to start arranging individual meetings with the princesses of each city-state in the afternoon! Your humble servants are here to confirm which princesses Your Majesty intends to meet with individually? And at what specific time do you intend to arrange them?" the Prime Minister replied.

yes!

Starting from the afternoon, it is my happy day!

Hearing the Prime Minister's reminder, Xia Zhe suddenly became alert.

"I want to meet with all the princesses individually! This afternoon, I will arrange for the five who can dance first! Two hours for each of them!" Xia Zhe ordered.
