Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 532: Rebuilding the Protectorate

Zhao Mu stroked her smooth back and said, "Okay, as long as you agree. Then I will do the good deed with you today."

After getting Musa's consent, Zhao Mu was not polite and took all the advantages he deserved.

Zhao Mu looked at Musa's beautiful Semu face and suddenly remembered something. Zhao Mu asked, "By the way, Musa, you said that you and your sister are both Gaochang Uighurs, right?" Although Zhao Mu asked the question, his hands were still restless.

Musa didn't reject it. She leaned her back against Zhao Mu's chest and sat on his legs. She stroked her future husband's cheek with her backhand and said, "Yes. Why did your Majesty suddenly ask this question?"

Zhao Mu asked, "No! I'm just a little curious. Since you sisters are the people of Gaochang Uighur, how did you join the Ming Cult and come to the Middle Earth?"

Hearing Zhao Mu's question, Musa leaned on Zhao Mu and said, "Your Majesty, this is what you asked. Your Majesty should know what we in the Ming Cult do."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Haha, of course I know. To put it nicely, they are called 'righteous army' and 'knights'. To put it bluntly, they are 'troublemakers' and 'rebels'."

Musa laughed when she heard that, "It's true that the people are unruly, but if the people are not unruly, how can we defeat the corrupt officials who exploit the people? As for the title of 'rebels', I don't like it very much. They call us thieves, but what have we stolen? We just return the people's fat and blood that the government has exploited to the people. Of course, there are also villains who line their own pockets. But the teachings of our Ming Cult are to 'do good and avoid evil'."

Zhao Mu asked, "Oh? So, the people in Gaochang are having a hard time?"

Musa also sighed at this time, and then leaned on Zhao Mu with a lonely expression.

Musa said: "If our family lives well, there is no need to join the Ming Cult."

"A family? Can you tell me about it?" Zhao Mu said.

Musa turned over and straddled Zhao Mu's legs. She said, "If Your Majesty wants to hear something, I can tell you. But I was still an infant at that time, so I have to start from my elder sister."

Then Musa told Zhao Mu the story of them sisters.

Musa actually has three sisters: the eldest sister, Gosa, the second sister, Pasha, and the third sister, Musa.

Although they are three sisters, the age difference between them is very large. The eldest sister is one year older than the second sister, and the third sister is ten years younger than the second sister.

Gaochang Uighurs was just the name given to this country by the Central Plains. They called themselves the "Great Uighur Kingdom of Dafu", and called themselves the Western Region Uighurs to distinguish themselves from other Uighur city-states and tribes.

The capital of this country was "Gaochang City", which was the original territory of the Han Dynasty, so the Central Plains called this country "Gaochang Uighur".

This country took advantage of the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty to rise up, stole the four protectorates of Gaochang, Beiting, Qiuci, and Yizhou, and established its own country. It divided the entire Western Regions Protectorate with its neighboring country, the Karakhanid Khanate. The two protectorates of Khotan and Shule were stolen by this country.

The three sisters lived in Gaochang City, the capital of the Gaochang Uighurs. They had a good life thanks to the prosperity of Gaochang City. But because the eldest sister Guosha was pretty, she was favored by a local rich man, who colluded with the officials there to snatch her away.

In order to get his daughters back, the father of the three sisters went to the government to argue. However, because of Guosha's beauty, the local officials presented her to the king as a gift. So the father was beaten and then released. But after being beaten, their father died when he returned home.

Later, the Liao envoys came to Gaochang, and the king asked Guosha to dance. The Liao envoys were attracted by her beauty and asked the king to spend the night with the dancer. Although the king was reluctant, he had to obey due to the arrogance of the Liao people.

So Guosha was taken back to the inn by the Liao envoys, and she was not returned until three days later when the Liao envoys left. During those three days, Guosha suffered a long nightmare, and the entire Liao envoys used her for fun.

When she was returned, she had been tortured to death by the Liao envoys. The king had no sympathy for her when he saw her miserable state, and ordered her to be sent back home to be buried by her family.

When the soldiers sent her back, they also took a fancy to her ten-year-old sister Pasha. Fortunately, Master Meng and his disciple Fang Shisan passed by Gaochang City and rescued her family and took them back to Guangmingding. Otherwise, her family would not have had a good ending.

Since then, the two sisters Musa and Pasha joined the Ming Cult with their mother. Pasha was personally taught the "Yoga Tantra" by the elders of the cult, and became the Right Envoy of Light with her own strength. Later, she was entrusted with an important task and became the favorite concubine of the King of Xixia.

As for Musa being sent to the Liao Kingdom as an undercover agent, it was because she wanted to avenge the death of her elder sister. However, she ended up here with Zhao Mu by mistake.

Zhao Mu heard this, and then asked Musa with a lewd look on his face: "Oh? Musa, do you know this yoga secret skill?"

Musa replied: "Of course. But if Your Majesty wants to try it, I will serve you well in the future."

Zhao Mu kissed Musa on the cheek after hearing this. He said, "Although I hate Yelu Yanxiu who is like a mosquito and lingers all day long, but one thing she did is very much to my liking."

Musa put her arms around Zhao Mu's neck and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Mu gently tapped her nose and said, "Little girl, you asked even though you knew the answer. Fortunately, she had the foresight to send you to me. If I had sent you to someone else, I would have been at a great loss. By the way, let's talk about something serious. Since the people of Gaochang are not living well, if we send troops to attack them now, do you think the people will support us?"

Musa thought for a moment and replied, "I think so. But the people in the Western Regions do not rely on the king, but on the local priests. If you want to conquer them, I don't think they will worship Han culture like the Xixia people do."

Zhao Mu replied, "That's nothing. I just want to restore the Protectorate system of the Han and Tang dynasties. After all, few rulers don't want to expand their territory. Now I have established a firm foothold in the Western Xia Kingdom. Tubo was also defeated by the Western Xia and the Gao family and is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Now is a good opportunity to march west and re-establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

Zhao Mu suddenly asked about Musa's life experience today, a big reason is that he has set his sights on the Western Regions. Moreover, the Musa sisters are from the Gaochang Uighurs. If he can get their help, it will be of great help to him to recover the Western Regions and bring the entire Western Regions back under the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But this country is the hometown of these sisters after all. If he acts rashly without asking clearly, the Ming Cult may become an obstacle for him.

But at least for now, it seems that the sisters don't have a good impression of this country. Perhaps in future conquests, they can ask the Ming Cult for help.
