Ittihad Nasr bin Mansour, the governor of Shule City, has a trademark Persian beard, slightly green eyes, slightly yellow hair, and a leaden complexion.

His father, Nasr Mansour, was originally a prince of the Samanid dynasty. After being defeated in the political struggle of the Samanid dynasty, Nasr Mansour came to Shule and took refuge with the then Karakhanate. Deputy Khan Olguchak.

Nasr Mansour, who came to the east, was not honest at all. In order to stabilize his position in the Kara Khanate, he thought of the weapon of Tianfang Sect.

At that time, Shule was mainly Buddhist, and Olguchak also believed in Buddhism. As a pagan prince, Mansur would have no choice but to be a bastard in Shule City if he didn't want to find a way.

So after long-term planning and observation, he selected Olguchak's nephew, the young Karakhan prince Saktu.

Saktu's father, Bazer, was originally Arslenk Khan (Khan) of the Kara Khanate, but he was defeated and killed in the war with the Samanid dynasty, so the young Saktu and his mother could only Attached to his uncle Bugla Khan (deputy Khan) Olguchak.

Olguchak did not treat Saktu well at all, and even tried to seek his rightful position as the successor to the Khan.

Therefore, under the temptation of Mansur, Saktu Khan quickly believed in the Tianfang religion, and relied on the young Tianfang believers in Shule to imitate the Samanid Dynasty to form his own Ghulam Guards, and continued to fight against the royal family and the opponent. Olguchak developed followers among the dissatisfied minor nobles.

Finally, Mansur, who felt that the time had come, stabbed his benefactor Olguchak in the back. He opened the gate of Shule City and put Saktu's Gulam Guards into the city. Ketu killed his uncle and cousins ​​and called himself Bugra Khan.

Bugla means male camel in Turkic language. In the desert, the leading male camel is the natural leader of the group. Saktu calls Bugla Khan, which means that he is the leader of the entire Kara Khanate.

Saktu Bragg Khan, who succeeded in seizing the throne, immediately announced that he had converted to Tianfang Religion, and authorized Nasr to build the first Qingzhen Temple in Atush outside Shule City. From then on, the Kara Khanate began its cruel war. Tianfang’s journey of enlightenment.

After Nasr's death, his son Ittihad Nasr bin Mansour continued to gain the trust of Saktu Brag Khan.

Now it is possible to serve as the de facto governor of Shule, the capital of the Kara Khanate, when Saktu Bragg Khan himself conquers Balasagon, where the old Buddhist and Manichaean aristocrats are entrenched.

When Wu Yuan'er and Ma Yaozi entered Shule, they clearly felt the changes in the city.

Most men on the street wrap their heads with black or white cloth in the style of Tianfang religion. Turkic-style leather hats are now rare.

Black and white flags are scattered all over the city, and shops often choose black or white cloth as signboards to fly outside their stores.

At this time, the most representative colors of Tianfang Sect are still white and black. As for green, it will not gradually become popular until the middle and later stages of the Famadi Dynasty (Green Food), which has just been established.

Fierce quarrels came one after another, followed by beatings and screams. Wu Yuan'er looked to the left and saw several men surrounding a short man, scolding him and slapping him fiercely. .

Ma Yaozi rode up to Wu Yuan'er and asked curiously, "What are they scolding?"

Wu Yuan'er took a deep breath, his face was very ugly, he stared at the scolding and beating on the street corner, and spoke word by word.

"They...well! Discuss matters of faith."

Ma Yaozi looked at Wu Yuan'er in confusion, who seemed to be unable to suppress his anger, and then looked at the group of people on the street corner. He nodded his head in confusion.

"It sounds like they are still members of the same family. Is this a disease? If you love to believe in the Great Loving Father, then believe in the Great Loving Father, and if you love to believe in the Buddha, then believe in the Buddha? Is this the case? Who can care about what gods others worship? Or whether they worship gods or not?"

"As for! Very important!" Wu Yuan'er took a deep breath again, and he suddenly felt that the tension in his whole body had subsided a lot.

As a devout Buddhist believer, Wu Yuan'er suddenly understood the reason why Zhang Zhao was so hostile to the Kara Khanate.

Perhaps because the 'Messenger of Gaochang' kept observing the scolding on the street corner, a few guards rode over and dispersed the arguing and scolding crowd with a whip.

. . . .

"The great-grandson of Pugu Tianwang of Dagaochang, Yidupugu was sent by Endagan as envoy Zhai Yuan, and he met the Governor of Shule of the Kara Khanate! I would like to express my greetings to His Majesty the Governor, Dagantuo."

In Shule Governor's Mansion, Wu Yuan'er sang a report loudly in front of Shule Governor Ittihad.

At this time, there were many Uighurs with the surname Zhai. I don’t know what these Uighurs thought. Whether they were Gaochang Uighurs, Ganzhou Uighurs, or Uighurs who defected to the Guiyi Army, when they changed their surnames to Chinese, they all liked to change their surnames to Han. The surname was changed to Zhai, a surname rarely seen among Han people.

Ittihad stared at the Gaochang Uighur envoy who did not look like a Uighur, his light green eyes showing the light of a beast.

"Among the Uighurs, there are very few people with the appearance of the messenger!"

This guy can actually speak Gaochang Uighur without any accent. He looks more like a Uighur than an average Uighur.

Wu Yuan'er smiled faintly, raised his chin slightly, and drooped his upper eyelids a little.

"Hasn't the Governor heard of my family's name, Dagan? Three generations of my family, Dagan, are married to uncle Li from the Central Plains. Dagan's great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother are all noble daughters of the Tang Dynasty clan. Even so, and so is my mother. How can a daughter from a Tang family be treated like an ordinary Uighur?"

After saying that, Wu Yuan'er also deliberately looked at Ittihad's light green eyes. The meaning was very obvious. I am a high-level appearance mixed with the Tang Dynasty. A beast-like green-eyed monster like you can compete with me. compared to?

Ittihad's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water. His right hand kept stroking the handle of the short sword inlaid with gold and jade at his waist, and his voice was unusually low.

"In this world, it is not only the Peach Blossom Stone Tang Dynasty that is the Celestial Kingdom, we, the Persian Samani Empire, are also the Celestial Kingdom!"

Wu Yuan'er smiled faintly and said, "How can there be a country that is always in the sky?"

"Discourteous!" A general standing next to Ittihad choked and pulled out the scimitar from his waist.

Wu Yuan'er's words were too vicious, pointing out that the Persians were conquered by the Arabs and were forced to convert from the original Christianity, Zoroastrianism and other religions to the Tianfang religion.

Although Ittihad was furious, he calmed down after his general pulled out his scimitar.

Because he saw the anger in Wu Yuan'er's eyes. This 'Uighur' was deliberately irritating him. He should be a pagan who believed in Buddhism.

"Does the messenger want to splatter my governor's palace with blood? It's a pity that you are the messenger, I will not kill you! But I will write a letter to Pugu Fengendagan. His ministers actually want to provoke Gaochang Khan The battle between the Kingdom and the Kara Khanate!”

A few beads of sweat broke out on Wu Yuan'er's forehead. It was so dangerous just now. He clearly saw the murderous intention in Ittihad's eyes that he tried hard to cover up.

"Tell me! Envoy! What did Pugu Fengendagan want to do when he sent you here? I think he is a royal family that is not a descendant of Wu Mu Lord Khan. He will not come to me with any major issues related to the two countries. This governor's Time is very limited!”
