Destiny Only Han

Fahrenheit City.

Sunga Palace.

Liu Yingke sat cross-legged in the place closest to the King of Xunjia, holding a golden cup in his hand. In front of him was the local Xunjia delicacy modified by the influence of the Han Dynasty. Kneeling next to him were two people with big eyes, high noses and fair skin. A beautiful girl poured wine and served dishes for him.

Opposite him were several Brahmin gurus who were decorated with valuables such as gold, agate, and precious stones.

It's just that unlike King Xunjia who was sitting on the main seat with a friendly face, when those masters looked at Liu Yingke, they showed unkindness and a sense of bitterness and hatred.

Well, they knew that Liu Yingke went to Xumi Mountain Temple to offer incense before entering the city.

Therefore, in their hearts, Liu Yingke was not only a Han Chinese who had been exploiting them through economic means, but also a heretic!
To be precise, heresy!

After all, Buddhism and Brahmanism are inextricably linked. They can be said to come from the same source. So the new religion that transformed Buddhism naturally belongs to the same family as Brahmanism.

Therefore, heretics are more hateful than enemies or heretics!
What's more important is that today's Protestantism has long been a climate of intoxication, and has even shaken the foundation of Brahmanism!
For no other reason, since King Sunga killed the Maurya King and came to power, he has supported Brahmanism to suppress Buddhism, demolished temples, smashed Buddha statues, and forced monks to return to their hometowns to farm. Especially those who joined Buddhism because of the equality of all living beings in Buddhism, or the equality of the four surnames. The Vaishyas and Sudras have directly become untouchable Dalits and become victims of religious struggles.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!

Therefore, as soon as the Protestant religion with the support of the Han Kingdom was introduced into the Xunjia Dynasty, it instantly started a prairie fire!

Not only those Buddhists who are suppressed by Brahmanism, but also many Kshatriyas who believe in Brahmanism secretly enshrine Protestant Buddha statues in their homes...

For a time, the voices of the Sunga people chanting in broken Chinese to pay homage to the Buddha of Han Dynasty could be heard everywhere...

After all, the new Buddhism emphasizes that sincerity leads to spirituality. As long as you pray sincerely, you can be reborn in bliss!
This is much easier than what many religions, including Buddhism, preach about detachment and that in order to live forever you need to carry out various practices or even asceticism!
Therefore, not only the bottom of society likes it, but also many nobles and wealthy people in the middle and upper classes of society flock to it.

Well, justification by faith is the magic weapon that enables the monotheistic religion next door to crush countless religions in the world.

In just one year, after taking a large amount of Buddhism's 'market share', Protestantism has transformed from the three countries of Brahmanism, Buddhism, and Protestantism into a major sect that can equal Brahmanism!

In particular, many original Buddhist monks started writing non-stop after converting to Protestantism.

Just like the 72 disciples of Confucius and the three thousand disciples who compiled the Analects of Confucius and many other classics, the Protestant "Tripitaka" is just around the corner!
In this way, it has the support of foreign forces, rich theoretical knowledge, and a large mass base.

How can the Protestants not treat the Brahmans as enemies?
Liu Yingke glanced across the way and decided to wait a few days before going to the Sumeru Mountain Temple outside the city to offer incense...

Vow.

After all, he came here just to stir up disputes. Looking at the expressions of the masters on the opposite side, you know that the interior of Xunjia is now a powder keg, just waiting for the sparks to fall!

By that time, when Zhou Yafu leads his army into Huashi City on the grounds of protecting the parishioners, his title will inevitably be promoted from the No. 18 concubine to a marquis who can retire with the Han Dynasty!

Even if it’s just a Guannei Hou!

But before waiting for Xunjia's internal explosion, Liu Yingke had one more thing to do.

condemn.

Mainly to rebuke King Xunjia for sending people to steal technology from the Han Dynasty!
But before Liu Yingke could speak, King Xunjia said first: "I would also like to invite the Han envoys to enjoy my palace dance and see if they can compete with the Han Dynasty..."

Liu Yingke was stunned for a moment.

Although the other party's accent is weird, he speaks absolutely Chinese.

He nodded and said: "The big man has a saying that guests do as the host does, and foreign ministers are more respectful than obeying orders!"

King Xunjia laughed and clapped his hands gracefully.

In an instant, exotic music sounded.

Two teams of male and female dancers wearing dance armor and holding weapons whose authenticity was difficult to distinguish came pouring in.

At the same time, amid bursts of cheerful and bright drum beats, a statue carved from marble and painted with gold paint also appeared in the hall surrounded by people.

Liu Yingke looked closely and saw that the whole statue was on a lotus platform. The figure had four arms in a dancing shape. The upper right hand held a strange-looking instrument, the upper left hand held a beam of fire, and the remaining two arms were in front of the body. Waving flower hands, stepping on a little ghost under his feet, with a cobra coiled around his body.

He was a little confused, looked at the two beautiful girls beside him and asked: "Who is this?"

After finishing speaking, he regretted a little.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just that the other party is a Sunga, and she is a maid serving him. How can she understand Chinese?

But to his surprise, one of the blue-eyed girls answered in very standard Chinese: "This is Shiva, the god of destruction and creation, with earth, water, fire, wind, sky, sun, moon, and sacrifice." Eight incarnations!”

Another girl with a slimmer and fairer waist added crisply: "This is the King of Dance of God. The tambourine symbolizes the various sounds created by God. The flame is the source of destruction. The interaction of the two palms means protection and blessing. The right foot is stepping on the devil, which means good defeats evil, and the left foot is raised, which means otherworldly..."

Liu Yingke asked curiously: "How can you speak Chinese?"

The blue-eyed girl raised her head proudly: "Han envoy, we are not those lowly Shudras, but temple saints, Brahmins! Someone has taught us Chinese since we were young!"

The other girl had the same expression.

"That's it..." Liu Yingke smiled, hugged him from left to right, and transferred the warmth of his palms to the other's slender and tight waist.

The two girls just smiled and leaned on Liu Yingke obediently.

After all, their task is to entertain Liu Yingke with their bodies, and Liu Yingke is a Han. According to the treaty signed by King Sunga and the Han Dynasty, ordinary Han people can be treated as Kshatriyas in Sunga territory.And Liu Yingke is the royal family of the Han Dynasty, the son of a vassal king, and his status is at least equal to that of a Brahmin!
Therefore, donating one's body to Liu Yingke was not considered an insult to them and their family.

When King Xunjia saw this scene, he suddenly smiled.

The so-called courteous people must ask for something.

Although Sunga is the most powerful country on this continent, due to its improper acquisition of the country, many dependent states have left Sunga to establish themselves, and there are also the existing enemy countries...

Therefore, they are also in the Warring States Period...

Especially since the Han Dynasty leased a port in Shendu and started trading, it not only allowed them to use advanced iron farming tools, but also taught them how to cultivate the land more efficiently.

Although most of the rice, cotton, rapeseed, and soybeans were sold to Han merchants, his people no longer suffered from hunger.

With food to eat, wars are waged more casually.

According to common sense, in war, elites win over mediocrity, and more people win over fewer people. As the most powerful country, Xunjia should be able to crush other countries...

But the crux of the matter is that the Han people's weapons and armor were not only sold to their family, they were sold for money!
Therefore, the battlefield became a battle between tin cans and tin cans.

Tens of thousands of people fought all morning, and the total number of casualties was no more than a hundred...

What's important is that Han merchants not only brought advanced agriculture and fine iron tools, but also the strategies of the entire Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods...

Today's poisonous countries have some who join forces vertically and horizontally, and some who make close friends from far away...

Although Xunjia is the most powerful country and has repeatedly sent troops to attack its former states, they were beaten violently by the other party's united ants and killed the elephants. They lost all their troops and returned home...

Therefore, King Xunjia is eager to obtain more and better weapons and armor!

He had inquired about it, and found that the merchants of Shangxian Tang were the most honest. Their main business was that you get what you pay for. It was also a set of armor. The more expensive ones were invulnerable, while the less expensive ones were about the same as paper...

Moreover, starting from two years ago, the merchants of Shangxian Hall changed the previous sales method. No matter who wants to buy armor, they need to buy other goods and accumulate points...

Only when you have enough points can you purchase the number of armors specified by the points!
Everyone hates this, but there's nothing we can do about it, it's a seller's market.

The Han people have the final say!
Of course, they don't have to buy it. As the saying goes, "three years for new, three for old, and another three for mending, they only need to find a blacksmith to repair the damaged armor, and it can be used again!"
But the crux of the problem is that the strength of the armor repaired by their domestic blacksmiths is basically the same as the worst-quality armor sold by the Han people!

Such low-quality things can kill people!
Since the damaged armor could not be repaired, they could only keep buying new ones. At most, they would sell the broken armor to the Han people and exchange the old ones for new ones...

Therefore, Liu Yingke, the son of the Han Dynasty King Chu, visited Xunjia, which was undoubtedly a God-given opportunity for King Xunjia!

King Xunjia inquired and found out that the vassal kings of Han had their own armies, and King Chu was no exception!

In other words, he might be able to hire the army of Chu to help him unify the entire body poison!

So, he looked at the court ministers sitting with him, winked, and asked them to add some spices to Liu Yingke's drink.

Well, it’s the Indian sacred oil…

Liu Yingke was completely unaware of this. After drinking a few drinks, he felt his lower abdomen was on fire and his breathing was rapid and heavy. Not only did the two soft girls around him become particularly attractive, but also those holding weapons and wearing armor. The male dancers are also particularly pleasing to the eye...

He shook his head vigorously and sobered up a little. The aristocratic demeanor he had developed since childhood made him unwilling to do anything unreasonable in public.

But the two girls didn't intend to let him go.

Liu Yingke's defense was broken down bit by bit.

Just when he was about to risk his life, a cry of killing suddenly came from outside the palace, followed by the collision of weapons, messy footsteps, and the cry of death.

He woke up instantly.

The dancing men and women were in a mess, running around like headless flies.

The two girls beside him also huddled in his arms like quails.

King Xunjia stood up and shouted: "What happened outside? Go and check!"

The next second, his eyes widened and he stared down blankly.

Behind him, a handsome dancer pierced his heart with a dagger, and a little blood dripped down from the tip of the sword!

At the same time, another male dancer threw the sword wheel in his hand, and with a whine in the air, he accurately slashed towards King Xunjia's neck.

Boom!
A big good head fell to the ground, Gululu rolled a few times, and finally revealed the painful and confused face of King Sunga.

The hot blood even splashed in front of Liu Yingke.

Liu Yingke was confused, but he drew his sword and stared at the killers who were called dancers but were actually assassins.

"Han envoy, don't panic, this is our internal affairs in Xunjia!"

Outside the door, a man wearing heavy armor and holding a bloody knife walked in loudly. (End of chapter)
