"You!" , Hisdima knew what Karmayi meant, pointed to his face, and was about to refute it loudly. With his position in the sect, few people dared to speak disrespectfully to him.

"Ahem!" , Adezi, who had been sitting at the top like a mud bodhisattva, finally spoke up: "The old man has also heard about the fact that the governor of Daliao in the north believes in the true god. Although the teachings are slightly different from ours, they are all believers in the true God compared to the Jur Khan of Balasagon. ”。

As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts were different again. Hisdima was calm and silent. Those hostile to the cathars became cautious, watching the reactions of others.

But the businessmen who were relatively close to the cathars thought that Adez was on the cathar's side, and they spoke for the cathars.

So saying, the people agreed. Each restrain his subordinates and try to cause as little chaos as possible to the cathars. If the cathars need it, they can also send people to help defend the city. At the same time, making up a share of money and food can be regarded as a gesture of surrender to the Protectors.

Most of the businessmen readily agreed to this arrangement. Only staunch Shiites disagree with this. But thinking that it was the cathars in the city who were in power, they had to pay for the food. Although the amount is not much, it also shows an attitude.

By this time, it was not early outside. Seeing that the big thing was decided, Adez stopped staying with the guests for long.

However, after about a stick of incense, some of the guests returned to Sabah Muhammad's house. These are Shiites led by hisdima and hostile to the cathars. They did not want the cathars to take control of Nishapur and break the Shiite dominance in the land.

He thought of resorting to force to drive the cathars out of Nishapur.

But the previous apologetics were so powerful that they did not dare to act rashly. Until now, there were reinforcements from Khorezm led by Timur and an empty force of cathars inside, and it was a good time for them to take advantage of the situation to drive away the apolologists.

Knowing why they had gone and returned, Adez exhorted: "You have seen it just now! Those greedy and greedy merchants who only had money in their eyes did not want to be enemies of the Liao army. If we coerce them, we will send a message to the Liao army if we can't say anything. ”。

Originally, he also had the idea of causing trouble for the cathars. But after seeing that people's hearts were not aligned, he pressed this thought. In the end, he has to put the family first! Once a regrettable decision has been made, the Sabah Muhammad family has been put in a situation from which they will never recover.

"But the Liao army is a Puritan, and he considers himself a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. If it were to occupy Nishapur, our sect would have to submit to Puritanism. Hisdima said worriedly.

Seeing that Adez hesitated, he continued: "There is a sentence I didn't say before! In fact, the strength of the cathars in the city was less than 1,000. ”。 Before, in front of the guests, he only said that the cathar army led nearly 3,000 horsemen to leave. The exact number of people is unknown.

One is to take into account the unevenness of people's hearts and avoid falling behind. Second, the reality of the Apologists is a matter of great importance. Not a person who is extremely close to him, unspeakable.

It is also the fact that how many people of the cathar army entered the city actually involved military secrets. As long as you don't care about it, ordinary people can't see it.

So in front of so many guests, he only said a rough idea.

"Less than a thousand?!" , Adez was a little surprised. Immediately, there was a little joy on his face. Because in this way, it is very possible to drive out the cathars.

In the end, the rich families of this era basically have private guards. As long as they are combined, they will be a considerable military force. In the past, when Enalsu was defending the city, he wanted to draw their guards.

It was only with a large amount of grain and grass and dinar that the Yinar technique dispelled this idea. So at this moment, they all have the ability to create chaos.

"This --- pagan edification! If you start an army, you can't say that you can't cause a big disaster! Adez said with some concern.

As soon as he said this, those Shiites led by him knew that he was moved. Histima, who had spoken for him in front of so many people before, said even more urgently: "The teachings of the pagans are completely different from ours. If the disciples are betraying the true God, where are we placed?! ”。

Although it is a little secretive, the meaning is already very revealing.

In the end, their status is because of Shiism. If the believers are gone, then their position will definitely be threatened.

Adez's face tightened. What worries him most is losing his current position. It's just that in his heart, there is still a way out. That is to convert to Puritanism and thus become a Puritan imam. With his status in Shiism, he took refuge in Puritanism, and his status would naturally not be bad.

But that's just a possibility!

Judging from what the cathars have done in Puhua, Amu and other counties, the rights of these imams will definitely be greatly reduced compared to what they are now.

After all, the Puritan imam was to be canonized by the governor of Khorasan. Although there is a certain amount of money to be given, there are no privileges before the laws of Khorasan. He heard that some imams had abused their power for personal gain and had been deprived of their qualifications by the cathars.

Because his family is prominent enough, he doesn't actually use his power for personal gain. But he was more worried that the cathars would take away his family property.

He also heard about Pu Hua, Ah Mu, and Naheisha not waiting for the city's raids. He used to be in the local area and made friends with many wealthy families. But after that raid, many rich families fled and died.

Many ancestral properties were wiped out in an instant.

The thought of his family being one of the most prominent families in the city of Tus made him a little worried and afraid. Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to send someone to probe the truth of the Apologetics again. It's also good to weigh one or two, and estimate the odds.

Later in the evening, a centurion who had been bribed by him for a large sum of money revealed the news. Due to the arrival of reinforcements from Khorezm, the cathars of Tus City have actually been sent out. The soldiers patrolling outside the barracks were just playing tricks.

Combined with the fact that the cathars imposed stricter 'city bans' on the city, and did not allow the guards of their wealthy families to help patrol the city, he couldn't help but believe the news of the cathar centurion. He once again summoned those Shiite believers who were hostile to the Liao army and a few wealthy businessmen to discuss a rebellion.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, they deliberately chose to do it at midnight.

And a hundred miles away, the valley of the Karashav River. The cathars and Khorezm reinforcements, who had been facing each other for a whole day, had set up camp. Originally, they shot at each other across the river and yelled at each other. It was only when I came to the present that I finally stopped.
