Inside Baghdad, outside the Mongol Golden Horde, there is a mansion that was once under surveillance. In the chaos of the city, the guards were attracted by the chaos, and they didn't notice the light of candles appearing in several windows of the mansion where the lights were extinguished.

Not long after, many people poured into the street in front of the mansion, and the light and shadow of the burning fire of the building in the distance reflected a black and oppressive figure. I couldn't see how many people had come, the guards nervously held their weapons and prepared to defend, and they didn't know which Mongol soldier ran first. Anyway, the Mongol soldiers guarding it ran away in an instant.

The people who had already arrived at the door probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the team stopped, and several people came forward to knock on the door, and at the same time respectfully shouted: "Your Excellency! Is the Pope here? ”

After a while, a Latin chant came from inside the door, and it was immediately chanted aloud in Latin outside the door, and the certification of 'Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger, Pagoda Town River Demon' was completed in Latin, and the door slowly opened a crack. The people outside were in a hurry, and immediately squeezed in through the crack in the door. Then I saw two men in red robes in the door, and dim oil lamps hung in the air out of thin air.

The man who came in quickly blinked his eyes a few times, and then looked intently, and saw clearly that the oil lamp was held in the hand of a black child. The brother turned to the cardinal who had inserted the latch and said, "Hurry up." If you don't leave, you probably won't be able to leave at dawn. ”

"Can it really work?" The cardinal at the door asked hesitantly.

Hearing this answer, the eyes of the benevolent brother who came to answer widened. When the matter came to the point where immediate action was necessary, the Holy See, which had been taken captive to Baghdad, wanted to admit it?

"What is the Pope afraid of?"

The cardinal didn't answer immediately, they looked at the head cloth that had been wrapped around the upper part of the head, and then at the cardinal's hat on the other side, which only covered the heavenly spirit cover. The rescue of the Pope from Baghdad included Crucidians, but more often than not. The Holy See launched a crusade and fought against the Green Church for a long time. Can the Pope's life really be placed in the hands of these true gods? Will it escape from the wolf's den and re-enter the tiger's den?

"Your Excellency." The True God Cultist who came to answer spoke, his voice was not high, but it was no less fierce than an angry roar, "Our greatest enemy is the Mongols, and we consider your greatest enemy to be the Mongols. You were the damned crusade back then, and now we need you to do it again. If the Pope thinks that his greatest enemy is not the Mongols, or that the two Excellencies think that there is a more terrible enemy than the Mongols, then please be free. ”

The two cardinals glanced at each other, and in each other's eyes saw the bright light of the oil lamp. At this moment, the two cardinals listened to the True God continue in fluent Latin: "We may or may not win this battle to the death with the Mongols. If you win, it doesn't matter without you. If we lose, I'm afraid that some people who are not determined will take refuge in Mongolia. At that time, Christendom was not only dealing with the Mongols, but also many people who were formerly true gods. Can you stop it? ”

Speaking of benefits, the cardinal finally asked: "Can you escort us away safely when you start such a sudden incident?" "Ever since the Holy See was taken into exile in Baghdad, it was these two cardinals who had been in contact with the outside world for a considerable period of time. They don't really worry about the other side betraying them.

"Let's go now, we're 70% sure. Tomorrow, we will have to leave the city of Baghdad. Then you don't have to expect anyone to save you. The remaining members of the city of Baghdad were the believers who did not dare to rise up against the Mongols. ”

Knowing that the choice had to be made at this point, the cardinals said: "We need to ask the Pope. ”

"Go ahead and ask. We'll be waiting outside, two quarters of an hour at most. ”

At this time, Wanhu, who was in charge of the defense of Baghdad, had also identified the area of the riot at this time and formulated a corresponding suppression plan. By daybreak, the Mongols began to set out along the streets, first swooping down on some points. When they arrived at the mansion where the Holy See was housed, they found only a few clergymen left who could not walk because they were old or sick, and that they were served by the captured choir children. The rest of the popes and cardinals ran cleanly.

Hearing this news, Kublai Khan didn't care at all, he just wanted to disgrace the Holy See, which insisted on the divine right of kings, and now the goal has long been achieved. The Great Khan asked, "How many rebels can be stopped?" ”

Wan Hu replied decisively: "Now that the gates of the city have been closed, those rebels in the city can't escape. ”

"Exterminate the rebels, and leave no one behind." The Great Khan gave the order.

The killing outside the imperial city did not affect Hao Ren at all, and after he got up in the morning and had breakfast, he moved a simple bench and sat near the gate and read a book quietly. Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside the door. Soon a Mongolian word came in, "Brother Hao Ren can live here." ”

As soon as Hao Ren raised his head, a Mongolian man walked in from the door. That brocade robe is not cheap, not to mention some gold jewelry on the body. Hao Ren looked at it carefully for a while, but he didn't figure out who this was. The man looked at Hao Ren holding a book in his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Hao Ren brothers read like Hanchen on weekdays, it seems that what they said is right." ”

"May I ask where this brother belongs to?" Hao Ren asked briskly, as if he hadn't heard what the guy was saying about him at all.

"I am the brother of this Kipchak Khanate......"

"Hun Tulan?" Hao Ren asked.

The Mongolian man glared at Hao Ren in surprise, "This ...... Brother Hao Ren has seen me? ”

"I haven't seen it, I've heard of it." Hao Ren replied lightly. He was not reading a book, but a list of Mongolia's upper echelons. This time I will meet many Mongolian nobles in Baghdad, and the genealogy of Mongolian nobles who I have no time to study in Pingsuri can be taken out and read carefully. The current Khan of the Kipchak Khanate has only one half-brother.

"I didn't expect the Hao Ren brothers to hear about me, haha." Hun Turan laughed loudly, looking pleased.

Hao Ren didn't laugh, he ordered his subordinates to bring a stool for Hun Tulan.

Hun Tulan sat down and said, "Brother Hao Ren, your soldiers have entered our Kipchak Khanate many times to arrest and kill people, which makes my eldest brother very unhappy. ”

"There is no way, many people in my country have fled after committing crimes. If I let them escape, where will I put my face? ”

"Then how can we count the face of the Kipchak Khanate?"

"Since Brother Hun Tulan has come to me, I want to talk about this matter." Hao Ren replied flatly.

"My eldest brother was just upset about it. If I had to say something, not now. Brother Hao Ren, I heard that you have a high-class horse that the Great Khan used to reward, but I don't know if it's still there. I would like to borrow it for breeding. ”

"The horse is still there, if you want to breed, how about sending it to the Kipchak Khanate?"

"No, no, that's too polite." Hun Tulan was a little embarrassed. A good stallion meant a lot to the Mongols, and when the horse was sent to the Kipchak Khanate, it was a gift in Mongolia. In the rumors, Hao Ren is a Han Chinese, but I didn't expect Hao Ren to be more bold than ordinary Mongolians.

"We brothers should be closer, and if a horse can make a brother happy, I think it should be given to a brother." Hao Ren also climbed along the pole.

With a good beginning, the conversation that follows becomes very relaxed. Among the khanates, only one of the Kipchak khanates bordered Hao Ren's Yuan state. The two sides soon reached an agreement to exchange money on a regular basis.

After sending Hun Tulan away, the guard couldn't help but say with some dissatisfaction: "Lord Wang, why did they run to our stallion here." ”

"It's just a horse." Hao Ren replied indifferently. He didn't care about a stallion, not even the best horse in Mongolia. The Mongols were good at animal husbandry, but the Great Song was good at researching and developing technology. Just one artificial insemination technology solves the problem of breeding improved varieties that could not be solved before. Even if one of the best stallions dies of exhaustion, there is no way to fertilize dozens of mares in a day.

In Hao Ren's horse farm, good breeds that used to be worth thousands of gold abound. Not to mention one stallion, what about ten stallions for the Kipchak Khanate. Moreover, Hao Ren was able to send technicians to the Kipchak Khanate to learn about the current situation of animal husbandry technology in the Kipchak Khanate. From any point of view, sending out a stallion is very beneficial to Hao Ren.

Picking up the booklet with the members of the Mongolian Golden Family written on it and continuing to read, Hao Ren was ready to spend his time like this. Not long after, someone outside asked, "Does Brother Hao Ren live here?" ”

Hao Ren raised his head, and a moment later, a Mongolian man in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of Hao Ren with a guard. After seeing Hao Ren, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect Brother Hao Ren to go out for a walk at this time, but to be reading." ”

Looking at this, Hao Ren smiled, he knew this person. This is the Khan of the Ögedai Khanate, a defeated subordinate of Hao Ren.

Throughout the day, several groups of people came to see Hao Ren. Everyone is here to pull the relationship, and Hao Ren also showed enough kindness. After seeing the current situation of Kublai Khan, Hao Ren felt that the Great Khan might live to be eighty or even a hundred years old, but the Khan's body could no longer allow him to do it himself as he did when he was younger. At this time, good relations with other khanates should be maintained.

After living in the Imperial City for three days, Hao Ren was allowed to leave the Imperial City and return to the post station. To Hao Ren's surprise, these three days were very fulfilling. He met all the members of the Kuritai Assembly in Baghdad, and the level of these princes made Hao Ren feel that he was fully able to handle it.

Out of the imperial city, Hao Ren couldn't help but be a little speechless. After three days of not seeing, the city of Baghdad outside the imperial city is far from being destroyed, but it can be described as 'greatly changed'.

"Let's go. Back to the station. Hao Ren led his guards along the road through the city of Baghdad.
