In later generations, the Middle East, which was full of wind and sand, was poor and barren, but in this era, it was rich in water and grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and rich in products. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

No less than the Central Plains!

So in addition to the danger encountered outside the city of Tessie, along the road built by the Seleucid Empire and ancient Rome, it didn't take half a month for Hou Jie and his party to successfully cross West Asia.

And I don't know how Hou Jie got into the Shiite faction, he didn't pass by a city, such as Isfahan, or even Damascus, and the Fujian expeditionary team could be welcomed openly or covertly, and in the cities controlled by the Shiites, there were directly righteous and bright welcomers, and as for those cities where the Umayyad Dynasty was powerful, there were also secretly warm welcomes.

Muhammad once said that even if you are far away in China, you should seek it! On the one hand, the Qur'an mentions the mysterious China, which arouses people's curiosity, and on the other hand, Hou Jie does have extraordinary insights into the Hadith, the Quran and other classics.

Compared with the fertile prosperity of Mesopotamia, Mecca, the birthplace of Islam, is actually much more desolate and dry, under the scorching sun, surrounded by a barren Gobi desert, the city is located in a narrow valley in the Serat Mountains, Mecca, in the ancient language is the meaning of absorption, especially vividly highlight the characteristics of low terrain, high temperature, and extremely difficult to drink water.

But it is a paradise for millions of followers.

The famous scholar Hou Mullah wanted to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, which also caused a sensation in the local Islamic community, but there was also this embarrassment, Hou Jie's team also believed in Islam, and none of the rest believed in it, Paul and an old mercenary Berannis were still Christian pagans, and Mecca was not allowed to be entered by non-Muslims.

Under the welcome of thousands of Shiite Muslims, Hou Jie was welcomed into the city of Mecca by a grand ceremony, but compared to the last time in Ctesiphon, the members of the team, including Li Que, were a lot more relieved.

The pilgrimage and baptism did not know how long it would take, and the city entered until the evening, and the Hou Ji did not come, so the team had to set up a tent in the barren valley of the Serat Mountain.

In the night, the whole sheep was barbecued under the blazing firelight, while scolding and saying that Hou Jie was not a thing, eating and drinking spicy food in the city, leaving himself here to eat the wind, while Wu Yuanqing drooled and followed the old mercenary and asked when it was good, Li Que himself leisurely held his head and leaned on a big stone, thinking leisurely.

Over the years, Hou Jie seems to have become more sophisticated, taking today's team as an example, the seemingly useless idlers have actually played an unimaginable role in Li Quan.

As far as Wu Yuanqing is concerned, this guy is alive with a big money bag, and almost all the big businessmen who walk on the South Silk Road have been to his third street to taste it, of course, in addition to these industries, Wu Yuanqing's rest of the industries are also all over Southeast Asia, and there are countless cane sugar, tobacco, etc. traded every year.

Central Asia and West Asia, which the Tang people had not touched, but Wu Yuanqing's reputation spread first, and there were acquaintances everywhere, and they were happy to ask for money and do things.

As for the inconspicuous thin and blind old man, he also has a shocking identity, the grandson of the former Sui famous general Shi Wansui.

Shi Wansui is a general of the Sui Dynasty, since he joined the army at the age of fifteen, he is almost indispensable in all previous wars, the Northern Zhou Dynasty broke Qi, the Sui destroyed Chen, pacified the south of the Yangtze River, resisted the Northern Turks, pacified the rebellion of Wei Chi Hui, and made great achievements, but it caused the jealousy of Yang Su, the minister of power, and under his instigation, Shi Wansui was unjustly killed by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian in the palace, and the whole family was confiscated.

The reincarnation of history, the domineering Sui has turned into a cloud of history, and even the name cannot be examined, but the blind old man who fled to Longxi at a young age is there, and after being blind for some reason, the blind old man has become the ear of the entire Longxi army, as long as he sticks his ears to the earth, how many cavalry and infantry within a radius of twenty miles can he hold an accurate number of less than a thousand.

At the beginning, Xi Junmai bought 100 cavalry to break through 10,000 enemies and also got his help, relying on a pair of dexterous ears to know where the Tuyuhun army was, Xi Junmai attacked in such a timely manner, otherwise 10,000 cavalry, from beginning to end, even if Xi Junmai was covered in iron, it would have to be broken.

After moving to Xinhan Valley, the reason why he wanted to live in the slums near the city wall was to achieve the role of early warning, such a great god, if it wasn't for Hou Jie to take him to see Central Asia, where the Tang people had never come, and please don't move the blind old man, relying on him, the team survived the wolf attack in Hulantu Town.

As for the old mercenary Berennis and the unreliable priest Paul, although Li Que doesn't know what their use is for the time being, it is estimated that Hou Jie has been prepared, this guy is like this, there are goods in his stomach to hide, from the day Li Que and his party came out of Ctesiphon, the Bosis generation has been in turmoil, the Shiites suddenly equipped, and also recruited several former Persian lord warlords, the original Umayyad family's stable rule in Mesopotamia suddenly became chaotic, and the civil war continued.

It seems that Hou Jie's 100,000 gold coins are much more than just buying a degree certificate and a ticket to Constantinople.

"This bastard guy!"

Watching the moon scolding Hou Jie, the corners of Li Que's mouth hooked up a sweet smile.

But at this moment, the blind old man who was not dead or alive suddenly sat up straight again, looked at the northwest direction with white eyes, and said gloomily: "Someone is coming, knight, twelve people!" ”

At this time, there was no longer any doubt, Li Que directly pulled out the horizontal knife on his back, and the eight mercenaries also drew their knives in their hands, even if it was near Mecca, there were inevitably sand thieves, who made this place too poor!

It's really twelve knights, and all of them are well-armoured, and the leader is even more covered by his face armor, a typical Persian heavy cavalry dress, but there is no vest, although it doesn't look like a sand thief, but it is also menacing, until it stops within the range of the bow and arrow of the mercenary of the small detachment, and the head of the heavy cavalry turns around the reins of the horse, and then shouts highly: "Ten steps to kill one person!" ”

After hearing the correct and round Tang language, the team was stunned for a moment, Li Que walked out of the fire and inserted the horizontal knife back into the scabbard, and went back very familiarly.

"A thousand miles without a journey!"

Although Tang poetry is a major feature of the Tang Dynasty, but at this time Li Taibai, Du Shisheng did not know where to be a molecule at this time, Li Bai's poems were not used by Li Jie as a tool to show up, but became a code word in various places overseas, the entire Central Asian part of the secret intelligence department has a unique sentence, if the Fujian State sends someone to contact, the answer to the slogan is the next sentence, even if foreigners understand Tang language, it doesn't matter, just bully them for not reading "Three Hundred Tang Poems".

Seeing that Li Que had the code, the comer was also relieved, dropped his weapon and jumped off the horse, and uncovered his face armor, and actually took out a secret order from the mezzanine of the face armor, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Que.

"Meet your lordship, the Governor's Office ordered, and the Byzantine emergency will be delivered to your lordship, this is the Constantinople Flying Eagle Emergency!"

In Central Asia, Li Jie used a large number of Persians, and the Persians with vast territories used the method of flying eagles to transmit intelligence hundreds of years ago, but very few people understood it, and they did not use non-important information, and this person himself had only been to contact it two days ago, and he actually found it from Fahan, a city two hundred miles away, in the past two days, which shows the weight of intelligence.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Que hurriedly tore open the envelope, and after reading it twice, he turned his head and was about to rush to Mecca City under the mountain, but he didn't take two steps, looking at the Mecca Mosque where the lights were still flickering, Li Que covered his head with a headache.

"It's broken!"

In the maddening waiting, for three days, Hou Jie, under the guidance of many Shia elders, followed many Mecca pilgrims out of Mecca with the title of big mullah, and returned to the team.

Finally, after settling down at a contact point disguised as a shop, and just sending away a group of Shiite elders, Hou Jie turned around and chased after Li Que and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong!" ”

didn't have time to sigh that Hou Jie's bastard was like a god, Li Que anxiously took out the superstition, and after reading it twice, Hou Jie's brows also wrinkled into two caterpillars.

It's really ridiculous.

This time, Li Jie asked Hou Jie and his party to rescue Princess Anna and wait for an opportunity to push her to the Byzantine throne, the premise of all these tasks is that there are enough powerful people in Constantinople to collude with Yang Xiong, the envoy of Fujian, to give Fujian enough support.

But now, this big backer, the younger brother of Emperor Constans, the uncle of Constantine IV and the ally co-ruling Emperor Theodosius couldn't bear the torment of power, and raised troops to rebel when Constans planned to move the capital to Rome and leave Constantinople.

It doesn't matter if he dies, Hou Jie and Li Que's biggest supporters in Constantinople are gone, not to mention pushing Anna to the throne, expecting Hou Jie and Li Que to go to the heavily defended Galatai Fort to rescue Anna has become a big problem.

"What should I do?"

The silver mask seemed to show a sense of anxiety, and waited patiently for Hou Jie to finish reading, Li Que couldn't help but ask eagerly.

Unexpectedly, with a sigh, he threw the letterhead into the stove and burned it, and Hou Jie's bearded face actually cracked with an extremely ugly hehehe smile.

"It's just a small thing, it's not a big deal to die an idiot."

"No big deal???" As if he had been burned on the buttocks, Li Que almost didn't jump up.
