At the same time, the Vatican.

"Interesting."

In the darkness, there was a chuckle from the void: "In this broken world, you can still meet such an interesting human child." Fresa, I allow you to come into this world to help the shepherds gain greater authority in the name of the King of the Gods, the Lord of the Universe. ”

"Yes."

On that day, the holy light over the newly built Vatican Palace did not disappear for three days and three nights.

After the volley on the second day, the Holy See, which had been silent for many years and had not made a major move, suddenly launched an attack on the Arabs in the name of jihad.

In this unpopular war, the Holy See dispatched 300 powerful paladins to destroy the world-famous Arab cavalry with incredible results.

After the war, all the Western countries were shaken and sent envoys to Rome to pay a visit to the pope.

A year later, the Holy See was the leading force and the Western countries jointly formed the Eastern Crusade Army, which set off from the Vatican and headed for Arabia. Because most of them were followers of the Holy See, and all of them wore crosses, they were also called crusaders.

It's just that no one knows that the first crusade of the West was four hundred years earlier than history!

At the same time, the East.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin raised 100,000 troops to attack the Western Regions on the grounds that Gaochang had served the Turks.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the Western Regions were pacified, and all the countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty to show their submission.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, some Buddhists were attacked by Zoroastrians when they were preaching in the Western Regions, and not only the Buddhist monks who preached were seriously injured and died, but also more than a dozen Tang believers who went to cheer.

The Tang Emperor was furious at this and ordered the burning of all Zoroastrian churches in the Western Regions and the execution of all Zoroastrian believers present at the time.

For a time, a bloody storm broke out in the Western Regions, and a war caused by faith began.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty soldiers destroyed 39 Zoroastrian strongholds and executed 39,862 Zoroastrian fanatical believers.

In the same year, the Tang Dynasty established 46 Buddhist temples and 32 Taoist temples in the Western Regions, with 167,800 new believers.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the Zoroastrian leader raided the Tang Dynasty's stronghold in the Western Regions, causing at least 4,000 people to die and 2,000 to be seriously injured, and the losses were incalculable.

The Tang Dynasty was furious and sent Buddhist masters into the Western Regions.

However, the other party is as smooth as a mouse, and it is difficult to catch the other party's tail if the masters of all parties try their best to surround and intercept them.

It wasn't until the sixteenth year of Zhenguan that the masters of Buddhism and Taoism, with the help of the Qixian Guanmen, captured the Zoroastrian leader who had killed countless sins.

In this battle, Wu Meiniang, the chief disciple of the outer gate, became famous in the first battle.

The Zoroastrian leader was executed by Ling Chi, and his soul refining was made into a sky lantern to be hung in the Anxi Protectorate to warn the rebellious people in the Western Regions.

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Anxi was the protectorate.

After eight years of operation, although Datang cannot say that the Western Regions are as solid as an iron bucket, it has also initially established its own ruling foundation.

Since the Zoroastrian sect leader was openly overshadowed, the security in the Western Regions has improved a lot.

It's just that today, the atmosphere of the Anxi Protectorate is solemn, and everyone's brows are full of worry.

And the reason why it is this atmosphere is because there is a guest from the Anxi Protectorate, a guest who wants to ask for help - the Persian Emperor Yazdegerd III!

Anzai Metropolitan Protectorate, lobby.

"General from the East, please save us." A gray-haired old Western man with a sad face cried: "The damned Holy See has invaded our homeland and subverted our country. They are demons who will never be satisfied, and will not give up the pace of aggression. ”

"Your Majesty Yazdegerd, I understand your difficulties. But sending troops to Persia is such a big matter, I can't say it alone, and this matter needs to be notified to our Emperor Majesty. If you can send an envoy to Chang'an, perhaps Your Majesty will grant your request. Anxi Du Hu Guo Xiaoke comforted.

Yazdegerd cried silently, looking a little dazed.

On the same day, an urgent letter of 800 miles was sent to Chang'an.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty closely followed Persian movements, as well as the so-called Papal Crusades.

Half a month later, information about the Holy See and the situation of the crusaders appeared in the Protectorate of Anxi.

"It's a big problem."

Guo Xiaoke held the information of the Holy See tightly in his hand, and sighed with a frown.

I saw that it not only depicted in detail the glorious achievements of the Holy See since Zhenguan for ten years, but also focused on the strong combat effectiveness of the Holy See Paladins and the rumored angels.

Regarding the so-called angels, Guo Xiaoke does not understand.

But after all, he was a general who was born immediately, how could he not understand what this so-called paladin was. That is, just like the Huaxia monks, a top powerhouse with extraordinary strength.

It's just that even Huaxia didn't have the luxury of forming an army with many top monks to charge into battle.

Just when Guo Xiaoke lost his mind, the excited voice of the subordinate official came from outside the door: "Du Hu, the Martial Immortal Master is here, the Martial Immortal Master is here." ”

Martial Immortal Master?

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he quickly reacted.

The so-called martial immortal master is Wu Meiniang.

Since Wu Meiniang came to the Western Regions two years ago, she has been stationed in the Western Regions as a guest secretary. In order to accommodate Wu Meiniang, the Anxi Protectorate even built a temple of immortals nearby, and all the shapes and furnishings in it were modeled after the temple.

In the past two years, Wu Meiniang has killed many powerful people in the Western Regions for the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

It can be said that the Western Regions can have the current stability, with Wu Meiniang's great credit.

When Guo Xiaoke heard Wu Meiniang coming, his face was immediately full of joy, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the style of the Martial Immortal Master is even better than in the past."

Guo Xiaoke walked out of the room and saw a bright girl wearing a goose-yellow dress, phoenix eyes full of endless majesty, and an elegant and holy temperament walking into the courtyard.

She is Wu Meiniang, the chief disciple of the outer gate of the Immortal Temple.

Wu Meiniang showed a flat smile, which did not make people feel cold, but also did not seem too enthusiastic, and said: "Mei Niang, a person outside the world, should not be so gracious." ”

Guo Xiaoke said with a smile: "Martial Immortal Master, where are you talking, who doesn't know that you are the first person in the outer gate of the Immortal Temple, and the supreme powerhouse of the younger generation of our Tang Dynasty." I heard that the immortal master had advanced to the late stage realm of supernatural powers a year ago, which was comparable to the old-timers of many great sects in the Tang Dynasty, it was really terrifying in the future, and it was terrifying in the future. ”

When Guo Xiaoke said this, he was not without emotion, and his expression was slightly complicated.

This sentence is not that he intends to flatter.

Since ancient times, how many people have been able to achieve the cultivation of the late stage of supernatural powers at the age of twenty?

Wu Meiniang has only been in her teens for ten years, and she has already reached a realm that many people cannot reach in their lifetime. Such a strong talent is enough to imagine how brilliant the achievements will be in the future.

In Guo Xiaoke's view, Wu Meiniang's talent is only a matter of time before she becomes a personal disciple of the national teacher. With the teaching of the national teacher, the future achievements are even more limitless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a member of the immortal family in the future.

Therefore, although Guo Xiaoke is in a high position, he still looks quite respectful in the face of Wu Meiniang, and it can even be said that he is suspected of deliberately currying favor.

Although Wu Meiniang's expression was calm, her eyes flashed with pride, obviously caring about the evaluation of others.

Guo Xiaoke came back to his senses and asked carefully: "By the way, I still don't know why the Martial Immortal Master came to the door in person?" ”

Wu Meiniang's face showed a different color, there was expectation, and there was a little excitement, and said: "The national teacher will go to Anxi to protect the mansion in three days." ”

"What, the national teacher is coming!" Guo Xiaoke's face was full of astonishment and shouted.

If you want to say that you are the first person in the Tang Dynasty literary circle, it may be very controversial, and you can't get a common answer.

But if you want to say that the first person in the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, the invincible peerless powerhouse in the world, the entire people of the Tang Dynasty will give a common answer.

National Teacher!

Since Zhenguan's ninth year of preaching, no one dares to grab the throne of the first person in the world.

Although Guo Xiaoke knew that China might care about Persia, he didn't expect that the national teacher would come in person.

That's Datang's Dinghai Divine Needle, a real living immortal!
