When Bai Dong and his party arrived in Athens, they saw the Inner Harbor in Athens from afar full of people coming to greet them; Bai Dong even saw Aristotle and Master Meng in Chinese clothes at a glance.●⌒,

There is no need to say that Meng Ke, this great Chinese genius will still maintain his homeland's clothes wherever he goes. Aristotle is now deeply in love with Chinese civilization. He believes that Chinese genius is more reasonable, especially Bai Dong's two-legged pants are ten times stronger than Greek robes. This is what civilized people should wear!

It is easy to do things. With the strong support of the Qin and the Bai family, the Fengming Athens Branch has now initially set up a sign in Athens. With Aristotle's appeal and the academy's policy of free admission to civilian students, many children of civilians and even low-level noble families have been admitted. These students were strictly selected by Aristotle and Master Meng, and will become talents who learn to build the East and the East and the West in the future and are important links to Eastern and Western cultures.

Standing next to Aristotle was a gorgeously dressed Athenian nobleman. He was about forty years old, but he still had full chest muscles, which could not be covered even in a Greek robe; his hooked nose, deep blue eyes as deep as the sea and the Greeks' iconic flax hair, but his hair was woven into small braids, just like the star named Gulit in the later generations.

The Athenian nobleman and Aristotle, Master Meng whispered a few words, then met Bai Dong with them, laughed loudly from afar, "Ah, Jun Jing's son, I, Sijien." He used Chinese language, although it was not very standard.

Bai Dong laughed and strode to Gene, patting his shoulder as if he had seen an old friend: "My dear consul, your reputation has long covered the Aegean Sea and my ears. It is my honor to see you."

"Oh, Mr. Baizi, my Rong Xing is right. Oh, would you say that to the Romans?"

"Of course not. Lord Consul, Rome is an ally of China, and you and Mr. Aristotle are brothers of China, you know. Brothers are closer than allies."

"Thank you, thank you, my brother."

Gene was so moved that Athens is no more than two hundred years ago. Since being attacked by Persia and the Spartans, Athens has now entered the most declining period in history. Not to mention that compared with the powerful Rome, Athens is still very weak compared to Sparta, which also entered the decline period.

If he hadn't met Bai Dong, he could not even believe that the powerful China would have chosen Athens as an ally, rather than choose the recognized fighting nation Sparta? He could only attribute everything to his good friend Aristotle's personal relationship with Bai Dong, and was glad for it.

Jean took Bai Dong and Dongyang Jun's hand affectionately, insisted on sitting in a carriage with them, and sent them to the mansion to rest. It was not until the morning of the next day that he personally welcomed the two, Aristotle and Master Meng, and went to the meeting room to discuss the matter together.

When Bai Dong and others came to the Athenian Council Hall, the chamber was already full of caps. The representatives of the 500 Citizens' Assembly and the Chief General of Athens were all present. When the four of them walked into the chamber, each Athenian nobleman showed their most sincere smile to them.

Compared to the Romans who were quite ready for battle, Athens was obviously more intimate to Bai Dong. Aristotle lowered his voice and said to Bai Dong: "The Athenians have enough sincerity for the arrival of Bai Zi and Dongyangjun."

"Yes, your Excellency, I think I can see this too." Bai Dong nodded and smiled. The Athenians were smart enough to know what China's attitude represented at this time; this is actually another reason why he chose Athens instead of Sparta. The fighting nation is always proud and stubborn. He is definitely not a qualified ally.

"Dear Baizi, we all learned from His Excellency Aristotle's words that China's strength and friendship are so good at it. Athens has enough sincerity for China. Today, the distinguished guests of China came to the great Athens, which is a grand event between the East and the West. But I still want to know what China will bring to Athens? What will it bring to the entire Western world?"

The speaker was Jais, the chief general of Athens. This was a middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a national face. Although he was not tall, he was very strong. When he sat there, he was like a lion squatting from the ground.

Since Pericle, the real power of Athens has been no longer the consul, but the chief general. So after Bai Dong and others took their seats, he was the first to open the topic, straightforward and straightforward, showing his straightforward and cheerful personality.

Dongyang Jun and Master Meng looked at Jia Ais, but said nothing. In their opinion, the Athenians were too direct, and even a little rude. Bai Dong nodded to Jia Ais with a smile: "General, I like your straightforwardness. Since the general asked, I will no longer go around in circles. China will bring peace and development to Athens, which will make Athens stronger and make Athens our brother and partner!"

The conversation between the two was naturally translated by Aristotle. When Bai Dong said this, Aristotle also laughed.

"Jias was like Rome?" Apparently Jais also got some intelligence.

"Oh, not exactly the same, my friend." Bai Dong said with a smile: "I once told the consul that Rome is an ally of China, but Athens can become a brother of China. This is also the reason why I held academies in Athens but did not consider establishing academies in Rome."

"Why?" Consul Gene couldn't help asking.

"Just as I said to Dongyang, Western civilization originated from Greece, while Greek civilization originated from Athens. It is true that Rome also had a perfect citizenship system, a perfect political system and a civilization representing the most advanced Western ideas. But in my opinion, Athens not only has civilization, but also has culture! Athens has Lord Socrates, Lord Plato, and Lord Aristotle. Does Rome have such sages? Similarly, China also has sages such as Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mozi, Mencius and other sages. This is the cultural heritage and the power of culture. So how can there be no cultural intersection and recognition between China and Athens?"

Bai Dong looked at the Athenians in the chamber with a smile and shouted: "We are all cultural people! The Romans can't compare with them, and the Spartans can't compare with them! China has benefits, of course the first thing that comes to mind is Athens!"

"That's great, so well said! We are all cultural people, how can those barbarians compare?"

"Gallic, Sparta, Iliad, Carthage, these are all uncivilized barbarians, not even Rome, they are just students of our Athens!"

"Support China, support Bai Zi!"
