"Oh, that's interesting, it's so interesting. The envoys sent by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty acted like this? ”

In a large mansion in the Eight Thorns Sand Rolling City, Mahad had just climbed out of the pile of beauties with a ruddy and radiant face, and he sat at the head of the hall, and the servant brought him steaming milk tea.

Mahad stood in front of him and replied, he was the chief butler of the house, about forty years old, and he looked kind, but there was a gleam in his lowered eyes from time to time. This person is the most relied on subordinate in the Mahad Mansion and is very capable. At this time, there was something important to return, and the servants in the hall all retreated after their work, and there was no one but a master and a servant.

"Back to the master, this matter is true." The chief butler told Mahad all the news that he had inquired about in the past few days.

Seeing that his master had a smile on his face, the chief housekeeper hurriedly asked: "Master, although the Great Khan is hanging them, he has secretly sent a lot of people to keep an eye on them, and ......he is extremely worried about the Song people, and the same is true for the people of the Elder Group, let's continue to send people to investigate, in case the Great Khan or the Elder Group is detected......"

The next words, the chief butler did not say it directly, but the people who heard it already understood.

There was a dark cloud on Mahad's face, "Elders, elders......"

It seemed that he was more jealous of the Elders than Ibrahim Khan.

"That's it!" Shaking his head, Mahad smiled faintly, as if he was disdainful, but also as if he had understood.

"Your lord is a devout disciple of the true God, what do those heretics from the East have to do with me? I've seen this excitement, but it's just a relief. You can't really wade into troubled waters. Since the big people above are keeping an eye on it, don't send anyone to find out the news, lest anything happen. ”

Mahad is a serious nonsense.

"It's still the long-term thinking of the master." The big butler is also a talent.

Turning back to the inner room, Mahad reached out and groped for the bedside, and heard a creaking sound, and a door opened in the inner room, and there was a secret room hidden here.

And it is a secret room full of Buddhist atmosphere.

The young man who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and chanting recited the sutra stood up when he heard the voice, "Father! ”

Mahad had already removed his turban from his head, and although he was still wearing a white robe, he knelt down very reverently on the Mani Buddha of Light.

As a noble man of the Eastern Qarakhanid Dynasty, Mahad did not know why his family still retained their faith in Manichaeism, and that the entire Qarakhanid Dynasty had converted to the true God when Satuq Bogra Khan was there.

All other faiths were swept away.

Buddhism, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, etc., are all in this land as a thing of the past.

Mahad didn't even know that there were still a few families in the Eight Thorns Rolling City that were as open-faced as their family.

But he knew that the coming of the Great Song Dynasty in the east to the west was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To be able to one day move from the dark side to the light is something that no 'Mahad' will give up.

God knows how great the psychological pressure is on him.

Playing duplicity in the Eight Thorns Sand Roll, once discovered, it will be a catastrophe for the entire family.

After telling the official family's words to his son, the latter immediately became anxious: "Father, don't you want to take the opportunity to have a relationship with the Song people." ”

Everyone knows that the Song people have eyeliner buried in the Eight Thorns Sand Rolling City, but the problem is that they don't know who the eyeliner is.

He could only take the initiative to send someone to contact Yao Youzhongjun. As a result, three waves of henchmen failed to bring back the news.

I don't know where the accident happened and who broke it.

Mahad could only stop, not daring to stretch his hand that long.

Therefore, at this time, hooking up with Yuwen Xuzhong and his party in the hotel has become their family's top priority.

Mahad glanced at his son and said, "The current Emperor of the Song Dynasty once said that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Although I look like a character in the Eight Thorns Sand Roll, how old can I be in this Eight Thorns Sand Roll City? We have nothing. Even the army in our hands will most likely raise their scimitars against us the moment they know our true colors. Now that you are directly pasting, do you think the Song people can value us, or do you think we are sincere? It's the darkest moment before dawn, and everything needs to be carefully messaged. ”

"Remember, every move we make now is related to the life of our whole family, and if we are not careful, it may bring great disaster to the entire family.

"I'd rather get the Song army to enter the Eight Thorns Sand Rolling City and then surrender than take a big risk. Our family has a big business, even if we don't fight, we have a lot of wealth. ”

The son didn't say a word, just stood there, bowing his head and listening.

The Mahad family is still Han Chinese, and they have a very deep connection with the Qarakhanid Dynasty, and there are records of ancestors who can go back 400 years to serve the Uighurs before the Li Tang Anshi Rebellion.

From that time to now, the Mahad family has naturally had several ups and downs, but it has continued. By now, Mahad has been able to take his place in the political arena.

As he just said, their family is already a big family. Even if they moved back to their hometown in the Central Plains like those nobles in Gaochang who were relocated to the Central Plains, their wealth was enough to nourish their families.

In this case, maintaining stability is Mahad's first pursuit.

But Mahad isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, and who in the city doesn't know he's notoriously shrewd and capable? Before the age of thirty, he made a name for himself among the nobles, and now he is one of the garrison officers of the Eight Thorns, and he is even trusted by Ibrahim Khan.

"However, the Great Song Dynasty is really full of talents, and an envoy sent by him can be so calm. You say that their army is going to be killed, how many days will the men and horses in the city be able to resist it? ”

"Take a step, count it as a step!"

Mahad knew that the Seljuks' movements would not be far away, and that by the time the Seljuks reached the Eight Thorns of the Sand, there would be a result. Standing up, facing the outside of the hall, his expression was uncertain: "There are mostly some stubborn fools in the city, such as people like me, Da Song will definitely cherish them!" He sneered in his heart, but his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

If you want to make faith obediently tame, a killing is indispensable after all.

The Great Song Dynasty was powerful, and the emperor was wise and powerful, whether it was the Dongkala or the Seljuks, it was impossible for them to win against the Central Plains Empire with the strength of decay.

Ibrahim Khan said that he was ill and left the mission in a hotel, which in itself was a great recklessness, and this alone could be a catastrophe.

Thinking that the future of Dongkala will be turned upside down, I have the Central Plains in my heart, as long as I grasp the opportunity, how can I not profit from it?

"Karim. We must be cautious in the days ahead. Don't keep your eyes on the hotel, but talk to Muza, Afar-al-Din and Agha. Then your father will go to find their son. "These people are all the same age of their sons, and their identities are also comparable.

No matter when you can get in touch with the Song people, you are always prepared to strengthen yourself first.
