The Roman consul's residence, which is the Roman Palace. Feng Yu was led by Alexander's slaves to the long table in the middle of the hall and sat on the right side of the head seat. It was obvious that Feng Yu was regarded as the most important guest today.

The two followers of Feng Yu, including Dian Qing, were arranged to sit on a long table in the garden. Of course, they were not regarded as Feng Yu's slaves, otherwise they would not be qualified to sit at the banquet.

Feng Yu sat alone in his seat, seeing guests sitting in their respective positions under the guidance of the slaves. After a while, more than half of Feng Yu's table were sitting. These people were sitting upright. Although curious eyes kept sweeping towards Feng Yu, no one spoke to Feng Yu. Although they could see from their eyes and body movements, they were all acquaintances, but they didn't say a word to each other.

Feng Yu knew that this was a Roman etiquette. Before the banquet host announced the official start, even acquaintances would not whisper. Strangers should be able to communicate and talk to each other after the host introduced each other.

At this time, a fat body squeezed over and sat on Feng Yu's right side--the only position except the main seat was the only position adjacent to Feng Yu. Feng Yu turned his head and saw that it was the chief senator Gayus whom he had known the day before yesterday. Gayus obviously knew that Feng Yu would sit here. His face was filled with smiles naturally and nodded to Feng Yu. Feng Yu was about to say hello, but he thought of the local customs and etiquette, so he nodded to Gayus, which was considered a gift.

Then, the civil guard Kuntus also came. He sat diagonally opposite Feng Yu, and there were two empty seats on his right, just opposite Feng Yu.

When Feng Yu thought that these two positions should also be extremely important figures in Rome. A middle-aged man with a burly figure with a chin shaved with no thorn was sitting in this position under the guidance of his servant. Feng Yu could not ask questions, but could only think about who this person was. Calculate the ranking, either the inspector or the financial officer of the Roman Empire. Another seat must be another "official".

Soon, the six long dining tables were already full of seats. Feng Yu's table was not only for Alexander's main seat, but the position opposite was still empty. Feng Yu thought to himself, why is this person who didn't know whether he was a financial officer or an inspector so arrogant? The banquet hosted by the Roman emperor was about to begin, but he had not seen anyone. I'm afraid that something happened on the way?

At this time, a man in a gorgeous slave uniform came out and sang: "His Majesty Alexander, the Emperor of the Roman Empire, the First Citizen, the Protector of the Roman People, and the Heir of the Roman Patriarch of the Roman Sages!"

It was only then that the quiet venue made a sound, which was the noise made by people moving chairs when they stood up. Feng Yu naturally stood up with the crowd, and then Alexander stepped out of the back hall. Feng Yu also followed the customs and followed others to raise his arms and saluted Alexander.

At this time, Feng Yu discovered that Alexander was accompanied by a beautiful woman. After Alexander and the woman entered the table, everyone sat down together. The woman was sitting directly opposite Feng Yu.

Feng Yu quickly turned his mind to guess what the relationship between this woman and Alexander. Couple? It is impossible. The age difference is too big. Alexander is only about twenty years old. On the other hand, it is possible, but there are so many big men on the woman's side, and it is almost impossible to change to ordinary people in this era, let alone the Roman emperor, mother and son? This is a bit possible, but in this way, the age difference between the woman and the man is a little smaller. That can only be a sibling. But I have never heard of Alexander having an older sister, and I have never heard of the host taking his sister to attend this banquet.

Just as Feng Yu was puzzled, Alexander said, "Today I will invite you to a banquet, for nothing but to welcome this guest who came from the Liang Kingdom of the East. At the same time, he was also a hero who forced the Celtics to return to the north bank of the Danube with just a few dozen people. Of course, I believe everyone already knows that he is now a citizen of our great Rome. So this banquet is also a celebration and congratulations to him..."

While speaking the opening remarks, Alexander signaled Feng Yu to stand up like him. When Feng Yu stood up, there was a burst of applause in the hall and the garden. After this opening remark, he introduced some important people near Feng Yu to Feng Yu one by one. Of course, these people include the Senate Head of the House, Gayus, the civil guardian Kuntus, the inspector Proseus, the young man with a clean chin shave. Of course, there are also the financial officer, the Supreme Court Justice and others.

Finally, Alexander introduced Feng Yu to the woman sitting directly opposite him. Feng Yu then realized that the woman was really Alexander's mother, Amyas, and the only daughter of the former emperor Sevelu.

After Alexander finished these politely, the meal gradually became lively. People began to chat in a low voice. Alexander clapped his hands, and the manager wearing gold and silver shouted at the top of his voice: "Select meal!" The male and female servants brought plates of exquisite dishes, meals, and jars of grape wine one after another.

At the beginning of the banquet, people raised glasses toast each other frequently. This was not much different from the customs of the East. As the host and guest, Feng Yu naturally toasted him. Alexander alone toasted him three times. Although Feng Yu did not need everyone to give him a reply, he had to raise glasses to some important people. Although the wine was far less powerful than Feng Yu's daily liquor, he began to get slightly drunk.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became even more lively, and people changed from whispering in the past to talking loudly. At this time, Alexander stood up again under the influence of alcohol and said, "As a new citizen and a new hero of the Romans, Lord Feng Hu cannot be without a position. So taking advantage of this opportunity today, I will announce a new appointment---appointment of Feng Hu as my chief guard."

As soon as he said this, the scene that was originally lively suddenly became quiet. The expressions on some people's faces changed significantly. The guards would serve as the commander of the Guards' Legion at the same time, and Macrinus assassinated Caracala and usurped the throne of the emperor. Now, as a ignorant person, Feng Yu, who had just arrived in Rome, was appointed such a key position, controlling the troops of thousands of Guards' Legion. Everyone knows that it is inappropriate and ridiculous.

Several important figures near Feng Yu stared at each other with big eyes, hoping that someone would pick the lead and choose an opponent to appoint him. However, the scene remained calm for a long time...
