Regardless of whether it was true or not, the situation was finally solved. The shocked people quickly wiped away their cold sweat.
The king has only been dead for half a month, and you are too busy trying to hook up with men? Although Loulan has been open-minded since ancient times, it can't be played like this.
All the civil and military officials present praised him for his kindness.
They all say that if Mr. Xiang becomes the king's master, Loulan will have a great future!
He also began to congratulate Liu Zheng. This Master Wang was a high official and the person closest to the king. Who among the scholars didn’t want a good future?
Hearing this, the young mature woman Reguli looked at Liu Zheng's eyes, and her eyes began to ripple again. She giggled and said, "Master Xiang, do you have any doubts?"
Liu Zheng's face turned red. How could he withstand such boldness and charming eyes? He quickly took a sip of wine, clasped his fists and smiled bitterly: "Back to the Queen, Xiang Zheng is just here for a study tour. He will leave Loulan in the near future and go elsewhere to continue pursuing Zheng." The avenue of 'new learning'!"
As he spoke, he straightened his chest and raised his head, looking resolutely into the distance.
But I was already cursing #%￥...%￥& in my heart. Please, stop looking at me like that! Unexpectedly, the more he behaved like this, the hotter Reguli's eyes would look at him.
Reguli made a sound and said cheerfully: "When my son ascends the throne, I will be free. I really want to travel around the world!"
shock!
Liu Zheng almost fell to the ground.
Is it so obvious?
People say that these Loulan beauties are bohemian and have a clear distinction between love and hate. Especially after they have not been brainwashed by a certain religion, this bold style, combined with their good looks, is really a bit unbearable.
When other people at the banquet saw this, they either pretended to be drunk or pretended not to hear.
"Ahem..."
Even Harik couldn't help but cough dryly, glanced at his mother speechlessly, and said, "Mother, Mr. Xiang is a prodigy in this world, with a heart for the world. It is not easy for us to have this fate, so why force it?"
This pun made Reguli wake up from her drunken state and said with an apologetic smile: "Oh, that's not what I meant! In that case, forget it! But Mr. Xiang, you must finish writing the reading. Only then can we leave! No matter what, as long as Mr. Xiang is in Loulan, he can enjoy Master Wang's driving, how about it?"
Everyone agreed loudly.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Reguli looked at him with a sweet smile, as if reluctant to leave.
Liu Zheng had a headache, so he hurriedly discussed the writing of this enlightenment book with Huang Yantai and others next to him.
Fortunately, living printing in this era has matured, so these tasks are naturally not something Liu Zheng needs to consider. The top priority he has to consider now is the matter of the slave trader Mire...
It's just that during this night's banquet, he didn't have a chance to speak.
He couldn't bite the bullet and ask Reguli. This woman is too charming and her eyes are too hot...
He secretly asked Huang Yantai, but the old guy shook his head and said he didn't know. Liu Zheng thought about it. This kind of slave trader thing probably wouldn't alarm a big boss like Huang Yantai.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Liu Zheng winked at Reheman several times.
When the banquet was about to end, Reheman, who was already drunk, came over and sat next to Liu Zheng alone, laughing wildly: "Young Master is so talented that he shocked Loulan in one battle. He single-handedly changed the situation in Loulan." ,I admire you!"
He knew that Liu Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity... This was normal. After all, the reputation of Mr. Liu in Yinzhou had spread to many places. There is only one road between Loulan and Yinzhou in the Taklimakan Desert, and Liu Zheng has long been registered as a competitive enemy. If Liu Zheng came here with his title of "Young Master of the Liu Family", fearing that this charming woman Reguli would try to seduce him again, he would order an end to this potential rival.
Who is willing to let the tiger return to the mountain?
So although Reheman drank too much, he still paid more attention to his words.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Re is finally here."
When Reheman heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master, it's Reheman, my surname is not Re!"
Liu Zheng ignored him and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. Then he asked in a low voice: "Brother Re, Liu Zheng wants to ask you about someone."
Reheman asked: "Who is it?"
"Mire!"
Reheman thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "But that Persian businessman?"
"Persia?"
Liu Zheng was stunned again.
He really didn't know this, he only knew that Mire was a slave trader.
When he heard that he was a slave trader, Reheman smiled and said: "That's him! What, he is a friend of the young master? But this matter is a bit difficult to handle..."
"Brother Re, what do you say?"
Liu Zheng asked.
Reheman said: "Young master, you don't know. This Mire is not an ordinary person. He is the most powerful slave trader from Persia who came to Loulan for business. Because of this, the seventh prince and the third prince are doing their best. Win him over.”
Liu Zheng was surprised: "Isn't he from the Third Prince?"
Reheman sneered and said: "This is the cunning point of this grandson! He always wants to have both sides, and has fun! It would be fine if it were peacetime, but when the king died, he was still like that, how could the seventh prince not be anxious? ? Just find any reason and arrest him!"
Liu Zheng was dumbfounded.
Reheman felt as if he was scolding himself with his words. When he was in Liangzhou, wasn't he just trying to get his way? But Liu Zheng will never be as stupid as Mire. When the current situation is turbulent, you can either find a big tree to hug, or you are strong enough to not be afraid of challenges!
Liu Zheng had already prepared an escape route for himself.
Once the emperor of the Longyang Dynasty dies, he will launch an attack as soon as possible, completely capture Liangzhou, control at least one state, and then make friends from far away and attack closely, to achieve the cause of overlord!
certainly……
His current strength is not good enough. Fortunately, the emperor is not dead yet. Otherwise, Liu Zheng would have had a headache.
Liu Zheng thought for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "So actually, Mire's life is not in danger!"
Reheman clapped his legs and laughed: "Yes! The seventh prince just wants to force him to express his stance and support himself."
Liu Zheng's eyes flashed: "How can we save him? This person must be brought to our side!"
Reheman smiled bitterly and said: "Why doesn't His Highness think so? But it is even more difficult to save Mire. The ones who want to take him are the temple army. These are a group of unreasonable people..."
Liu Zheng fell into deep thought after hearing this.
It seems like this is a dead end. But Liu Zheng felt that there was a clue that he had not grasped!
what is it then?
That thought seemed to have been lingering in his mind, but it passed by in a flash and he didn't have time to catch it.
"Master, Master?"
Reheman shouted a few times when he saw Liu Zheng like this.
"I thought of it!"
Liu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his forehead hard, and said with a smile: "I have a solution!"
…
temple.
In Loulan Kingdom, this is a place comparable to the Kingdom of Ke.
Represents supreme power.
The whole building is white, which is incompatible with most of the loess buildings in Loulan. At night, this place looks even more solemn and eerily quiet.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
Hemuti ran rampant and shouted angrily: "Is that the way you came up with for me? Come out!"
"presumptuous!"
"How can you be allowed to make noise in the temple's quiet place?"
"Don't disturb the envoy Qingxiu!"
Several missionaries ran out and angrily scolded Hemuti.
Hemuti smiled coldly: "Call Muzad out! I have followed his instructions to take down the slave trader! But today I lost all face? I want an explanation from him!"
A man in white walked out slowly, and several preachers respectfully called the messenger. This person is the highest-level existence in the Loulan Kingdom Temple, the divine envoy, Muzade!
He walked out with a look of surprise on his face: "Loss of face, failed?"
Hemuti snorted coldly: "I really thought it was some kind of clever plan that could be broken easily!"
As he spoke, he told everything that happened today.
Muzade was shocked when he heard this: "Who is this Xiang Zheng? A student of Long Yan?"
He felt that all this happened by chance.
Could it be that he is the third prince, a great talent invited back from the Longyan Dynasty?
It has to be said that today's plan of killing people with a borrowed knife was very cleverly broken by the other party. Without talented people, it would never be possible.
Hemuti looked impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what to do next! Humph, don't think I don't know about the activities behind your temple. Taking down Mire, could it be that he was plotting to sell it?" The way of slavery? Because at this time, the traders in the city hate me to the core, and people are in panic. Your temple is making a lot of money, what about me?"
Muzzard was furious when he heard this: "Shut up!"
Hemuti looked at each other coldly, showing no fear at all.
Although he is reckless, he is not stupid either. It is true that the Temple Army is helping him, but are they not using him? He used his status as the seventh prince to kill his competitors and eliminate dissidents. He even asked Hemuti to promise him that if he succeeded in ascending to the throne, he would make the temple the state religion of Loulan, further consolidating the status of the divine envoy and the temple's dominance over Loulan.
and……
Hemuti knew that what was even more terrifying was that this temple itself came from the Persian Empire!
In fact, what the temple was doing at this time was the expansion of the Persian Empire!
Both sides have their own hidden agendas and are on guard against each other. Hemuti is already riding a tiger, so he naturally doesn't have a good attitude towards them.
Muzade naturally knew this, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, a mere Dragon Flame student cannot shake our temple's 100,000-strong army. Since the Seventh Prince can't wait any longer, why not us..."
There was a gleam in his eyes.
Hemuti also said fiercely: "If you don't do it, you won't stop!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the army is about to leave!"
…
Reheman looked at Liu Zheng blankly: "What can we do?"
Liu Zheng stood up and said: "It's not the seventh prince who wants to deal with Mire, but the temple!"
"What?"
Reheman was shocked.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Things are getting more and more interesting. Brother Re, does he know where this temple comes from?"
Reheman was stunned for a moment, then took a breath: "Young master, what do you mean?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Yes, it's Persia!"
When he first arrived in Loulan, Liu Zheng thought that this temple was the prototype of Islam. But now it seems that this temple is more like Zoroastrianism.
Zoroastrianism was once the state religion of the Persian Empire. Also known as Zoroastrianism, when Islam began to expand rapidly in Arabia in later generations, it even overwhelmed Christianity and Judaism, but it did not affect the Persian Empire at all.
It is precisely because of the teachings of Zoroastrianism that it is about fighting, fighting, not tolerance.
Reheman's face changed drastically: "Young master, you mean that this temple has been plotting against our Loulan from the very beginning?"
Liu Zheng smiled.
Invasion of religious beliefs has been going on since ancient times, and this is nothing new.
Of course, none of this matters!
The important thing is that these two clues are focused on one word.
Persia!
Liu Zheng didn't believe it. This was accidental.
This rice is hot...
Actually got into enmity with the temple?
On the other hand, it also shows that he has the ability and means to fight against the temple!
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
This person must be saved!
