Chapter 500 Battle of Faith

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

"Mother!"

Seeing that figure, Yuan Guimi quickly stood up and went to meet him.

The visitor is none other than the Queen Mother of Wusun and Princess Jieyou.

"I've met my brother!"

At this time, another child appeared behind Princess Jieyou, and it was Liu Wannian, the second son of Princess Jieyou.

"Hannah has met the Queen Mother!"

Hana bowed to Princess Jieyou.

Princess Jieyou nodded and pulled Liu Wannian to sit down.

Then he asked again: "Does Marquis Hanaxi want to betray Han?"

Hana heard the words and quickly bowed: "Hana doesn't dare, but we, Wusun, have our own customs, why should we use the religion of the Han as the state religion!"

Princess Jieyou laughed and said: "I am also a Han Chinese, and Kun Mo is also a member of the Han family. Why can't we use Taoism as the state religion!"

Hana bowed again and said: "My Wusun people now believe in Ahura Mazda. If we rashly use Han religion as the state religion, we will make the people of the country uneasy..."

Yuan Guimi couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had never made up his mind, and it was precisely because of this consideration.

Liu Wannian said in surprise: "Isn't Ahura Mazda the god of the Western barbarians? He is also not the god of our Wusun people..."

"Ten thousand years of peace!"

Princess Jieyou stared at Liu Wannian, and Liu Wannian shrank his neck and quickly closed his mouth.

Princess Jieyou then said to Hana: "What Lord Xi said is quite reasonable...but if I, Wusun, want to be rich and powerful, I need to make good friends with the big man..."

"With "Tao" as the state religion, the princes of Xi were not required to convert... The Han Dynasty and Kunmo also had no intention of forcing everyone to convert..."

"All princes, nobles, and tribesmen can continue to believe in Ahura Mazda..."

After Princess Jieyou finished speaking, Hana fell into silence.

After a long while, he said: "Even so, if Taoism is adopted as the state religion, the number of people who believe in Taoism will increase day by day, and then I, Wusun, will be reduced to the same as Qiuci Gumo!"

Princess Jieyou laughed and said: "Wusun is Qiuci, so what's wrong with Gumo... As long as the big man is here, who dares to bully me, Wusun?"

Hana heard this and said unconvinced: "We, Wusun, are such a big country, how can we depend on the Han!"

Princess Jieyou sighed: "Without the help of the powerful men in the past, would Wusun have survived?"

After hearing this, Hana was silent for a while and had to admit: "Without the Han Dynasty, Wusun would have perished at the hands of the Huns..."

…

After Hana left the royal court, he did not return to his tribe immediately. Instead, he led his people to the southwest. On the third day, he had arrived outside a small village by the Pseudo Water.

The territory where this village is located no longer belongs to Wusun, but to Dawan.

"You are waiting here!"

Hana gave instructions to his entourage, and then rode into the village alone.

As soon as I approached the village, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Hana frowned, but he entered the village without hesitation.

As he expected, although the village had been cleaned up, some blood stains could still be seen in some corners.

Apparently all the original residents of this village have been sent to reincarnation.

At this moment, several men in black robes appeared in front of Hana.

"I am Hana. Take me to see the high priest!"

The leading man in black robe looked Hana up and down and made a gesture of invitation.

Several other men in black robes took the initiative to give way.

Hana looked at the man in black robes and without any delay, went directly into a house in the center of the village.

There were already seven or eight people in the room at this time.

"Hana, what are you doing here at this time?"

A man in the house also dressed as Wusun asked

This man was another Xihou of Wusun named Suoluo. He was the first among the Xihous of Wusun to convert to Zoroastrianism, and he was also the most fanatical one.

Hana picked up the water bag in the room and drank a few sips before saying, "The situation has changed, I'm afraid we have to act in advance!"

Hana was shocked, "What happened?"

Hana shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but that woman seems to be aware of our actions!"

"Princess Jieyou?" Zoro asked

Hana said while drinking water, "Not bad!"

Hana immediately recounted the conversation he had with Princess Jieyou in the Wusun Royal Court yesterday.

However, his words were not addressed to Solo, but to a man in black robes sitting in the center of the room.

At this time, the man in black robe sitting in the center nodded, "Although Princess Jieyou is a woman, she is also a smart person..."

Does the high priest want someone to send someone to give that woman to...

At this point Zoro made a motion of slitting his throat.

The high priest shook his head when he heard this and said: "Others can move, but this woman cannot!"

Hana also said at this time: "Solo, please use your brain. That woman is a princess of a big man. If something happens, who can withstand the anger of a big man..."

Solo said: "That woman is just a tool of the big man. How could the big man use his army just for a woman?"

Hana laughed and said: "That Zhang Yue dared to massacre the entire Jubing Kingdom just for the sake of dozens of Han merchants who were killed... I thought that Zhang Yue didn't dare!"

Solo was silent when he heard the words. The causes and consequences of the destruction of the country had already spread throughout the countries, and Solo naturally knew about it.

At this time, the high priest also said: "No matter what we do this time, those three people must not move..."

Hana agreed: "What the high priest said is true. If we succeed this time, we should also follow the example of General Nahan..."

Solo nodded: "I know!"

At this time, another man in black robe said: "Now that Princess Jieyou has noticed it, it may not be easy for her to do this!"

Hana said: "What Elder Nice said is true. I'm afraid we need to take a long-term approach!"

The high priest sitting in the room said: "You don't have to worry, Kunmo's captain Zakun is also a believer of Ahuna!"

Hana looked surprised when he heard this, "Zakun is actually my disciple!"

The high priest said: "Yes, Zha Kun joined our religion ten years ago!"

Solo high-fived and said: "Okay, okay, with Zakun's cooperation, why worry about everything happening!"

At this time, Hana did not show any joy, but fell into silence.

Zoro patted Hana on the shoulder and said, "Hana, what are you still hesitating about?"

Hana sighed and said: "If the Han army interferes, how should we respond?"

The chief priest said: "After the matter is completed, we will not deprive Yuan Guimi of his position as Kunmo, nor will we touch Princess Jieyou and Prince Wannian at all. Wusun will still obey the Han people..."

The words of the high priest sounded reasonable, but Hana still felt uncertain.

At this time, Suolo said: "Hana, don't worry. If it doesn't work out, we can also follow the example of King Youxian and move his family westward."

Hana nodded and sighed, "I really don't want to come to this point!"

Solo patted him on the shoulder, "That Yuan Guimi is greedy, lustful, weak and incompetent, and he is devoted to the Han... If Taoism is established as the state religion again this time, I, Wusun, will still be there decades later..."

The chief priest also said: "If Taoism becomes the national religion of Wusun, the Wusun people will fall into darkness forever after death..."

…

"The situation has been discovered!"
