Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 763 The Inescapable Law of True Fragrance

Hu Ponte looked at Zhang Qixian who was eating and drinking, and he looked like he hated iron and steel, and was so angry that he paced back and forth in the hall.

Zhang Qixian gulped down the black goat meat unique to the West, and poured the jug into his mouth from time to time. While eating, he looked at Niles who was a little out of breath, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Why doesn't Xueshi Hu sit down?" eat?"

Hupont's real name was Behdad Ponte, a Persian who changed his Chinese name in the Central Plains.Because the great sage Hood's surname was Hu, most people in the Manichaeism changed their surname to Hu.

Hupont was expelled from Persia in the past. Both his parents died in the liquidation of the Dafa, and he has a deep hatred for the Dafa.

Being able to go on a mission with Zhang Qixian and act as an interpreter also shows that Hupont can distinguish between the important and the important, and will not abolish the public for personal reasons.However, as the envoy of the victorious country, it felt bad for not being able to flaunt one's might and contempt for the former enemies.

Especially my boss is still a foodie, he has been eating all the time, eating everything, just like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Not to mention the delicacies served by the Dashi Kingdom, even the bran that the poor people ate on the road were greedy.The most frightening thing was taking medicine indiscriminately. On the way to the envoy, one of the accompanying envoys had a stomachache due to water and soil problems, and the Western doctor prescribed some antidiarrheal pills.

Zhang Qixian felt that it was bland and tasteless, so he ate it as beans, and finally said with emotion: "It's not as tasty as Liangzhou's Dali Wan."

"Don't eat!"

Hupont said with a bit of anger.

Zhang Qixian was overjoyed, and brought Hu Punt's portion in front of him, and ate it heartily.

The corner of Hupont's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but said: "Zhang Zhengshi, don't forget the big things. The main purpose of coming here is to form an alliance with the black food, but more importantly, to fight for the interests of the court."

Zhang Qixian was not in a hurry to reply, but after swallowing his mouth full of food, he smiled and said: "I can't miss the business..."

He was already obese, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the slightly narrowed slit indicated that Zhizhu was in his hands.

The real enemy of the Great Eclipse is not them, but the more Western Catholicism.

Magdeburg.

The emperor of the Roman Empire, known as Otto the Great, was sitting on the throne, looking at Wissam who was prostrating on the ground in front of him, quietly listening to him talking about things in the East, and listening to the other party talking about the second Battle of Talas, his eyes There was a flash of excitement, "Get up, according to the news you brought, I will pardon your sins in the name of the Roman Emperor."

Wissam was trembling with excitement, knelt down and said: "Thanks to the great Emperor Otto for his tolerance and kindness, I am willing to be the knife in your hand again and eradicate all enemies for you."

Wissam was originally a general under the command of Otto the Great. Because of friction with his colleagues, he failed to stop the duel and killed the opponent and was expelled from the Roman Empire.

Otto was a man of great talent. At that time, he had become the king of East Francia and the Kingdom of Saxony, conquered Italy, and became the most powerful force in ancient Europe.

Otto's ambition is not enough. The political arena in ancient Europe is very strange. The principalities headed by them are all relatives, and they are planning each other's territorial power.Occasionally, one family dominates, and the others act as turtles, and then wait for the other to die and take the other's place.

Otto wanted to keep the imperial power forever, so he used many means, established relations with the Byzantine Empire through marriage, controlled the Holy See, was crowned emperor, and became the guardian and emperor of Rome and the supreme ruler of the Roman Catholic world. own status.Now Otto is dominant in ancient Europe, but he is not satisfied. He wants to take back the holy city of Catholicism, Jerusalem. He wants to go eastward like Alexander and become the most powerful emperor in the Western world.

On the surface, Wissam was deported, but in fact he was ordered to investigate the situation in the East.

As a mercenary, Wissam traveled all over the food in black clothes, until the final battle of the Battle of Talas, he found that the Dayu Army was strange, unwilling to take risks, and secretly fled the battlefield.

After learning of the fiasco of the jihad army, Wissam returned to his hometown and reported the situation to Otto.

Otto closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said loudly, "Come here, go and invite the Pope."

Pope John XII was already under his control, and Otto also signed the "Otto Privilege Agreement" with the Holy See. The core content is: Without the emperor's permission, the Pope is not allowed to ascend the throne of St. Peter, and the Pope takes an oath To defend the Emperor, the Emperor swore to defend the Pope.

In other words, the Western Catholic Churches are all under the control of Otto and are puppets of the state.

Otto didn't take John XII seriously, but for such a major event as taking back the holy city, John XII had to come forward and let him call on noble believers, which would save a lot of money.

Otto asked Wissam to get up to talk, chatted with him about the black clothes and big food, and ordered people to prepare wine and food.

Otto thought that John XII would arrive at the earliest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect that he had already received the news that John XII had entered the palace in just an hour.

Otto was stunned at first, then smiled, and said, "It seems that His Excellency the Pope has also received the news of the defeat of the Black Clothes Chow."

Wissam secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he arrived in time, and the Pope really took the lead. This news has no use value: just who is it?The news did not lose to myself...

The Holy City of the Catholic Church has always been occupied by the Great Eclipse, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of Catholic believers.

It's just that in the past few hundred years, the black-clothed giants spanned the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and their strength was strong. When they encountered internal chaos and barbarians made troubles, they couldn't take care of themselves, so they had to give up.

But now Otto turned out to be Dingding West and became the emperor of Rome.

At the same time, the Macedonian dynasty of Byzantium also began to rise. Although the Catholic Church of Byzantium had some differences with the Holy See, the hatred for the Great Cannibalism was deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Both sides bid their time in history, with the later Crusades.

Now is the time...
-
Baghdad.

The kings of the countries dressed in black did not retreat because of the truce. They strengthened cultural and economic exchanges, and exchanged communications.

Taoism is the state religion of Dayu. Although the imperial court promotes Manichaeism in the Western Regions in order to stabilize the Western Regions, the status of Taoism in Dayu is unshakable.

Even if there are no people in the Western Regions, Taoist priests and so on have to be arranged.

Regardless of whether Manichaeism or Buddhism has to give up three points, the card of the state religion is there.

You can not believe it, but you can't have it, let alone promote it.

There is a culture of rejecting pagans in the bones of Dafa. It is difficult for them to agree to build Taoist temples in Baghdad, accept Taoist priests sent from the East, and promote Eastern Taoist culture. This is difficult to be recognized by Dafa.

The two sides argue with each other around this point, but they both maintain the bottom line, and neither is willing to make concessions.

Khalifa Tayir rubbed his slightly aching brain and asked, "Is there any change in Samarkand?"

Because they couldn't reach an agreement at a critical moment, the negotiation was suspended.

At this time, Dayu might mobilize troops.

Mansur I said: "I have already sent troops to make preparations. Judging from the current situation, the East has no intention of sending troops."

He didn't dare to send troops to the border, but secretly transferred the soldiers to the cities around the border.

"That's good!" Tail breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What has the messenger been doing recently?"

Aduly Daolai thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Eat again, one person can eat four or five people per meal..."

Taier laughed and said: "It's okay, it means that the delicious food of our Dashi is very appetizing to the envoy." He secretly laughed at Adud Daolai's stinginess, let alone serving four or five people, so what if it is a serving for a dozen people?Can you still feed them?

Adud Daolai said: "This emissary has eccentricities and likes to eat some weird things. Just be careful that he eats something bad and meets Allah by accident. It's hard to explain!"

"..."

There was silence in the main hall, and it took a long time to get back to the topic, but the discussions were all about how to persuade Zhang Qixian's intention to build a Taoist temple in Baghdad, and no one felt that they should compromise on this matter.

Until news came from the west and the north...

During this period, the overall economy and culture of the West lagged behind that of the East.Especially in Dayu now, they have war granaries in every important place, and they can dispatch troops quietly.

The West can't do it, their economy and population are inferior to those of the East.To prepare for a large-scale campaign, not to mention the mobilization of the whole country, at least half of the country must be in operation.

The transfer of troops and the delivery of food, grass and equipment cannot be concealed.

As soon as Otto and Byzantium were preparing for the battle, various rumors spread.

The Dashifa was already guarding against the Catholic Church, and when it moved there, it immediately got the news.

Then the same hall, this time the speaker was Aduly Dawley, the king of kings.

"I have done some research on Eastern Taoism these days, and found that they are different from Manichaeism, Buddhism, and Catholicism. Taoist real people are very noble and generally do not participate in worldly affairs. In fact, it is just a way of thinking. What kind of storm is caused?"

"That's true, the Eastern Emperor is quite kind, there is no need to ruin the relationship between the two countries for a Taoist temple! Our enemy is in the West after all..."

One word from you, one word from me, immediately set the tone for this matter.

Tayir is a puppet, but at least he still has the right to speak in Baghdad. There are many Taoist temples in the territory, so naturally he is not happy.

"!"

Now feeling the threat from the West, when he thought of the group of lunatics in the Catholic Church, he blurted out an Arabic word equivalent to the word "good" in China.

The agreement was formally signed, and Li Chuyun, Zhang Qixian and others stayed in the Western Regions to deal with post-war trivial matters, and did not return to Liangzhou, but only ordered people to spread the news that the Great Food Law agreed to negotiate a peace to the Central Plains.

After Luo Youdu, who moved to Luoyang, got the news, the always prudent Emperor Luo couldn't help shouting "Okay!"

The ten-year plan has taken the first step.

On the same day, he ordered someone to summon the Taoist priest Fan Hua.

Fan Hua is somewhat unknown, but his master is well known, that is, the famous ancestor Chen Tuan.

Chen Tuan's ancestor had countless disciples and grandchildren, and only eight of them received his true biography, and Fan Hua was one of them.
