Seeing that he was about to enter Baghdad and capture the caliph alive, Kotji was awakened by the shouts of Khatuk.

Koji looked sideways at Hatuk, and Hatuk said to Koji very humbly: "Divine envoy, your humble servant Hatuk has not been offered to the gods for several days, can you give some food to the gods, so that you can send the lowly servants to the gods." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and looked at the eunuch guarding the door.

The eunuch felt Kou Ji's gaze and hurriedly explained: "The slaves and maids send them food at the hour, and they never cut off three meals a day. But they took the food, and ate half of it, and kept half of it. I don't eat the half that is left behind when it's broken.

The steward said that they had wasted the grain, and had starved the slaves and maidservants for two days. ”

Kou Ji laughed when he heard this.

No wonder Hatuk ran to him frantically after seeing him appear just now, it turned out that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and when he saw him, it was like seeing a rescue.

Kou Ji said to the eunuchs, "They left half of the food to eat to worship the gods. ”

The eunuch looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, he realized that it was very troublesome to explain this matter to the eunuch, so he simply didn't explain, and directly ordered: "You go and prepare some food for them." ”

The eunuch was waiting for Kou Ji to explain to him, but Kou Ji didn't say anything, just told him to go and prepare food.

The eunuch didn't dare to ask more, so he agreed and left the Zichen Palace.

After the eunuch left, Kou Ji looked at Hatuk and asked, "Are all the books you brought this time all of them Great Food Literature?" ”

Hatuk was relieved to see that Kou Ji had ordered someone to get food, he knew that Kou Ji was a generous person, and when Kou Ji appeared, they would never go hungry again.

Don't worry about being hungry, so naturally there will be more talking.

Hatuk bowed, stood in front of Kou Ji and said, "Venerable Divine Envoy, almost all of the books that your servant Hatuk brought over this time are Great Food Texts. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "There is no Chinese?" ”

Hatuk hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, there is...... It's just not a lot ......."

"Take it out and I'll see ......"

Kou Ji spread his hands.

Hatuk hesitated, then turned around and walked over to a carry-on luggage package, took out three books from it, and handed them to Koji.

Kou Ji flipped it open casually, glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Qur'anic ......

The Word of God......

The Word ......

……

The Qur'an is a sacred text of religion, and needless to say, the Word of God is a book that depicts the life of God in the realm of God, and the Word of God is a book that records the famous sayings of the caliphs throughout the ages.

The most recorded in the Word are the words of Caliph al-Ma'mon, the founder of the Hall of Wisdom.

Kou Ji finally understood why Zhao Zhen was not interested in the culture of big food, and also understood what Zhao Zhen meant by the phrase 'go away with the excitement and return with the defeat'.

Zhao Zhen has no gods in his heart now, he only believes in himself.

Religious classics such as the Quran are naturally difficult to arouse Zhao Zhen's interest.

Kou Ji handed the Quran back to Hattuk, pointed to the other books in the Zichen Temple, and asked, "Don't you tell me that all the books here are religious texts?" ”

Hatuk sensed that Koji had no interest in religious texts, so when Koji questioned him, he hurriedly said, "Only a small part of them ......"

Kou Ji asked, "How much is a small part?" ”

Hatuk hesitated for a moment and confessed: "Ten thousand copies ......"

When Kou Ji heard this, his heart twitched.

10,000 copies, if you change it to other books, it will definitely bring a lot of knowledge.

10,000 volumes of religious classics are really useless to the Great Song Dynasty.

Transporting books from Baghdad is not so easy, and the long journey along the way is even more difficult than the Sanzang Master Xitian learning scriptures.

With such a precious transportation opportunity wasted on religious texts, Kou Ji was naturally heartbroken.

Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows, stared at Hatuk and said, "You want to preach in my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Hatuk must have had a purpose in using such a valuable transportation opportunity in religious texts.

If Kou Ji's guess was correct, he must have wanted to preach in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the face of Koji's questioning, Hatuk did not answer.

Hatuk had come from the Western Regions, and he had seen what Kou Ji had done in Hexi, and he knew that Kou Ji had no fear of God in his heart, and he was not close to religion, so he did not want to tell Kou Ji about his purpose.

Kou Ji stared at Hatuk and said, "Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't know?" You have taken great pains to bring 10,000 volumes of religious texts to our Great Song Dynasty, and you have gone to great lengths to translate them into Chinese, and your purpose is self-evident.

If you don't want to preach, why don't you translate other books into Chinese? ”

When Kou Ji said this, he was fluttering.

But Hatuk felt a heavy sense of oppression.

But he still had no words.

Seeing this, Kou Ji frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "Hatuk, I am the one who provided you with all the help and asked you to transport the books in the Wisdom Pavilion.

You claim to be my servant, but you have no loyalty to me.

When you learned that you could contact my Great Song Emperor through the people who sent you to Bianjing, you did not hesitate to show my Great Song Emperor your usefulness.

But you didn't expect that I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had no interest in your things.

Not only did he not accept you, but he taught you to my disposal.

Your actions have offended me, and I can behead all of you here. ”

Hatuk shuddered for a moment, he fell to his knees, buried his head between his legs, and said in a trembling voice: "Venerable oracle, your servant has not offended you, and I beg your mercy. ”

Kou Ji stared at Hatuk coldly and said, "Then it depends on whether you are honest enough." ”

When Hatuk heard this, he buried his head lower.

Seeing this, Kou Ji asked again, "Do you want to preach in my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Hatuk hung his head and whispered, "Yes......"

Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "Don't even think about it!" ”

Hatuk raised his head suddenly, stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "Venerable oracle, the caliph has enshrined you as an oracle, the caliph said that you are the messenger left by God in the far east, and you will uphold God's will and spread God's glory to time."

The Caliph also said that when your divine eyes are opened, you will remember your identity, and a new Hall of Wisdom will rise in the far east with your awakening.

If your eyes can't be opened for a long time, then the new wisdom hall is likely to be buried underground forever. ”

Kou Ji's brows suddenly furrowed into a Sichuan character.

The identity of the oracle in Hatuk's mouth is pure nonsense.

He was only negotiating with himself on behalf of the caliphate.

To be precise, the caliph in Baghdad, who was far away, was negotiating with Khoj through the mouth of Khatuk.

The meaning of the Calipha is very clear, if Kou Ji allows them to preach in the Great Song Dynasty, then everything in the Wisdom Pavilion will be given to Kou Ji, so that the Wisdom Pavilion can take root in the Great Song Dynasty.

If Kou Ji didn't allow them to preach in the Great Song Dynasty, then he wouldn't want to get the Wisdom Pavilion.

One-third of the books that have been delivered so far can be regarded as deposits.

It was through the words of the caliph that Koji knew the caliph's intentions, so he frowned.

The caliph's first trading partner should be Zhao Zhen.

After Hatuk arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he offered his loyalty to Zhao Zhen as soon as possible, which should have been instructed by the caliph.

Because if Zhao Zhen promised to help him preach, his religion should soon be able to take root in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that Zhao Zhen obviously has no interest in their religion, and he will not let their religion enter the Great Song Dynasty for the sake of their knowledge, so they can only choose a second trading partner.

That is, Koji himself.

The caliph should have learned about the power and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty through Hattuk's mouth, and also learned that Kou Ji was a powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty, and even more learned that Kou Ji was a person who knew the existence of the Wisdom Pavilion and coveted the Wisdom Pavilion very much, so he made Kou Ji the second trading partner.

If not, Hatuk would never have said that to Koji.

Kou Ji pondered for a long time, looked at Hatuk, and said, "Let those of you who are really in charge come out." ”

Hatuk was stunned.

Kou Ji said lightly: "I don't think that such an important matter will be handed over to a traveling merchant to deal with. ”

Hattuk heard Koji's words with no expression on his face.

He just stared at Koji.

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, he felt that the Hatuk in front of him was the real Hatuk.

The humility that Hatuk showed in front of him before should have been faked.

"Hatuk, step down ......"

A childish voice rang out.

A flash of panic flashed in Hatuk's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

Hatuk turned around and yelled at a brown-haired teenager in the crowd, "Shut up......

The boy shook his head and said to Hatuk, "What we are dealing with is a wise man who has seen everything. His wisdom is in no way inferior to that of the great sages of Baghdad, and nothing we have is hidden before his eyes.

If I hide any longer, I will only be looked down upon, Hatuk. ”

A hesitation flashed in Hatuk's eyes, and finally he gave in to the boy's words, and he walked up to the boy with great humility, and prostrated himself on the ground sincerely and humbly.

"Your servant, I have offended you......"

"Your whip, I'll write it down for you for the time being......"

“……”

Hatuk was still prostrate on the ground.

Surrounded by a group of big cannibals, the young man walked up to Kou Ji, confronted Kou Ji, and said to Kou Ji in broken Chinese: "Song ...... Country...... Checkmate...... My name is...... Chattered...... Witch...... Muhan ...... Maude ......"

Young people should not learn Chinese for a long time, so the words spoken are very stiff and a little difficult to understand.

Kou Ji also carefully took every sound of his ear into his ears before he understood what he meant.

"Gargamel? Muham? ”

Kou Ji repeated, looking at the young man in front of him with a strange expression.

What made him look strange was not the young man's name, but the surname Muhan......

If Koji remembers correctly, the first caliph was Muham, and the most orthodox caliphs of the following people also had this surname.

Although the inheritance lasted to the end, the Muhammad lost control of the caliphate.

But the Muhammad family has always had a high position in Baghdad.

Whoever sits in the position of caliph in Baghdad cannot affect the position of the House of Muham.

No wonder Hattuk would be so humiliated in front of him.

He is in Baghdad, and his status should not be low.

The young man didn't know that Kou Ji had guessed his identity through his surname, and he was still explaining his identity in broken Chinese.

After explaining for a long time, seeing that Kou Ji was still looking at him indifferently, he could only let Hatuk act as a translator in the middle.

Through Hatuk's translation, Koji learns that the young man is an oracle in the Sky City and a student of the Caliph.

He went to the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of the Caliph this time to negotiate with Kou Ji.

If Koji had promised them to preach and had promised to serve the young men as religious kings, the caliph would have offered both hands to the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.

If Kou Ji didn't agree, they wouldn't spread any more books to the Great Song Dynasty.

One-third of the books sent this time are their sincerity.

"We are sincere, and we are disappointed that General Kou can help us...... A third of the books in the Baghdad Hall of Wisdom are enough to plunge any Western state into madness, and now we don't charge you anything, we just hope that you will help us preach in the Song Kingdom......"

The young man Koji and Hatuk called themselves generals, and Koji thought it was very strange.

He felt that according to the Western name for nobles, they should call themselves Grand Duke or Duke or something like that.

But after carefully searching the memories in his mind, Kou Ji understood.

The so-called system of 'duke, marquis, earl, son, male' and other titles in the West was not invented by Westerners.

It was put on by the Han sages when they were translating, in order to facilitate the Han family to understand the Western noble system.

So the young man and Hatuk called him a general, and he could understand a thing or two.

After listening carefully to Hatuk's words, Kou Ji stared at the young man and said with a faint smile: "Are you in a hurry to preach in my Great Song Dynasty because the caliphate in Baghdad has completely lost his power?"

The kings had already begun to peek into his position, so he had to find another way? ”

After saying this, Kou Ji's smile was very bright.

The young man looked at Koji like a devil.

Kou Ji stared at the young man and continued, "Don't think that I am in the far east, so I don't know about the situation of your Great Eclipse. Perhaps, I know better than you about the state of your food.

So you don't need to fool me with those lies.

It is impossible for you to proselytize, but the rest can be discussed. ”

The young man stared at Kou Ji and said a big word with a solemn face.

Hatuk translated with a solemn face, "I don't believe your words......"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "The apple picked from the tree and hung on the tree again, can it really become a divine fruit?" Milk and honey mixed with honey are poured into the river that surrounds the castle in the sky, and won't it stink after a long time? ”

The young man was shocked, stared at Kou Ji and shouted in horror.

Hatuk also translated with a frightened face, "You've been to the city in the sky......"

Kou Ji sighed: "I guess I've been there." ”

"Impossible, as far as I know, you have never left the Great Song Dynasty."

This was not said by a young man, but by Hatuk.

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I haven't been there in this life, but I may have been there in my previous life." Don't you firmly believe that there is a God in this world? ”

Hatuk looked at the young man in a daze.

The young man opened his mouth several times, but in the end he did not say a word.

The young man wanted to roar at Kou Ji and tell him that there were no gods in this world, and everything in the Sky City was used to deceive the foolish people, and it was used to rule the common people and slaves.

But he didn't dare to shout.

Because once he shouts out, those big cannibals who follow him will definitely collapse their faith and go completely crazy.

This is actually quite ironic.

The young man came from the city in the sky, from the place closest to God, from the holy place in the hearts of the believers.

But his faith in God was not as strong as that of believers.

It's no wonder that he is.

He lived in the city in the sky and witnessed first-hand how those so-called 'miracles' were born, and naturally questioned God in his heart.

The young man's heart was tumbling, but there was not much look on his face, he stared at Kou Ji and said a word.

Hatuk immediately translated, "The caliph is God's substitute......"

Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "But it doesn't belong to the Muhan family anymore......"

Kou Ji's words completely broke all the defenses in the young man's heart.

Through these words, Koji told the young man that he understood not only the situation of the Caliphate in Baghdad now, but also the situation in Baghdad before.

The time when the people of the Banu Muhammad sat in the position of caliph can be traced back more than three hundred years.

In other words, Koji knows the history of Baghdad for nearly three hundred years.

Any lie of the young man will be seen through by Kou Ji at a glance.

The young man can't lie to Kou Ji, so he can only tell Kou Ji the truth.

"We need to preach in the Great Song Dynasty...... This is the condition for us to hand over the Wisdom Pavilion......"

The young man stared at Kou Ji and said stubbornly.

Hatuk immediately translated it to Koji.

Kou Ji stared at the young man and questioned, "Why do you want to preach in my Great Song Dynasty?" Isn't it developing quite well in Baghdad? It has penetrated into the hearts of all people in the West, and the West is the most suitable place for him to grow. ”

The young man's expression was a little gloomy and he said, "The kings have betrayed the caliph......"

Koji said calmly: "But the kings have not rebelled against God, the light of God is still spreading in the western land, and the people and slaves of God are still obeying God's word. Perhaps the kings felt that the caliph had lost God's favor, so they wanted to continue to spread God's splendor on earth in place of the caliphate. ”

The young man stared at Koji and argued, "Only the caliph is the ruler of God, and everyone else is heretical. ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "Then you should find a way to eradicate those who have seized the power of the caliphate, instead of setting your sights on my Great Song." Your purpose is to bring the caliphate back to power, not to leave a spark for religion.

You don't have to think of preaching in my Great Song Dynasty, and then when the power of religion can affect the entire Great Song Dynasty, then use this to control the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji pointed to the land under his feet and said solemnly to the young man: "This land only belongs to the people who stand on it, and the only people who can rule this land are those who are recognized by the people of this land."

No religion can subvert the will of the people of this land.

Any religion that tries to subvert all of this will suffer a catastrophe. ”

The young man stared straight at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "Who said this?" ”

He didn't ask Hatuk to translate, he spoke himself, in stumbling Chinese.

Kou Ji stared at the young man and said loudly, "I said it! I'm not just saying that, I'm going to do it. ”

When the young man heard Kou Ji's words, he was slightly stunned, and then a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

After the young man entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he carefully looked at the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was indeed powerful.

But compared to the time when religion was at its most glorious, it was not as good as that.

At the height of religion, all, all enemies trembled under the iron hooves of religion.

Although religion is now divided into factions, the strength of religion is still unquestionable.

The young people felt that the Great Song Dynasty was not a religious opponent.

Kouji's words are unlikely to be fulfilled.

The young man stared at Kou Ji and said, "Then we ...... Don't have to talk about it? ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I will not allow you to preach in the Great Song Dynasty, but I can help the caliph take back his own power from the kings." ”

The young man didn't even hide it, he shook his head directly, "It's impossible to ......"

Kou Ji did not speak to the young man again, but instructed the eunuch to summon a soldier who was guarding the gate of the Zichen Palace.

After the soldiers entered the temple.

Kou Ji casually pulled out the saber from the soldier's waist and slashed it at the soldier's chest.

The saber flashed a spark on the soldier's chest, but it did not cut through the soldier's armor.

The soldiers seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, so they stood still and did not move.

Kou Ji pointed to the armor on the soldier's body and said to the young man: "The caliph is still influential in and around Baghdad, and if he needs people, he should be able to recruit a large number of people."

As long as you can pay enough for similar armor, we will have as many as we want. ”

The young man looked at the soldier's armor, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.

Although the soldier was not wearing foot armor, it was a first-class fine armor.

There was similar fine plate armor in Baghdad, but it was not very numerous, and only some of the kings' elites were qualified to equip it.

With such a fine armor, the value is certainly not low.

The caliph did not have enough money to buy armor today.

Kou Ji knew that a simple and sophisticated suit of armor was not enough to attract the attention of the young man.

Because they are more likely to get iron than the Great Song.

So there is enough good iron to forge fine armor.

Koji continued, "I know that armor like this isn't enough to catch your eye. But I must tell you that such armor, in my Great Song Dynasty, can only be regarded as ordinary armor. ”

When the young man heard this, he was slightly moved, but he still did not speak.

Seeing this, Kou Ji continued: "Maybe we can exchange the way of fighting war, we have been studying war for thousands of years. ”

There was a hint of doubt in the young man's eyes.

Apparently a little unconvinced.
