Chapter 55: The Lion King Yangmou

Mosremasa's words made Pei Min's pupils shrink.

Li Chiying knew about the black gunpowder formula, and Pei Min deliberately concealed it, and not many people knew it. Even Li Longji was in the world of flames and firecrackers, and only after he appeared, he realized that his sister actually had this talent.

The flames and firecrackers helped him shock all foreign tribes who met and made great contributions.

When choosing to ensure safety, Li Longji could not think of a reason to refuse Li Chiying's development in this regard.

Li Chiying knew the formula of black gunpowder and made certain achievements in this regard. It was only recently known to a small number of people that Mosremasa received this news, which was very unusual.

"What does the Duke mean?" Pei Min's tone changed instantly, full of impoliteness.

Mosremasa couldn't understand his words, but he also saw his anger. After listening to the translator's translation, he said lightly: "In my eyes, Duke Pei was Caesar of the West. Caesar was the founder of the Roman Empire, but not the emperor. Your heart is towards the West. You are very familiar with Western affairs. There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that you know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Pei Min’s understanding of Eastern and Western history is better than that of any person in this era. He is also a plug-in for the time traveler himself. Naturally, he knows what Mosremasa said, and there is no denial.

Mosremasa continued: "I came with friendship. With Duke Pei's understanding of our West, he naturally knew the grudges and contradictions between Byzantium and my Arab Empire! We are a feud. Since the great prophet Muhammad established the Arab Empire, Byzantium has been my Arab enemy. The war between us has lasted for a hundred years. Especially, my hands are covered with the blood of the Byzantines. I have encountered as many as dozens of assassinations over the years. I have the most experience in how to prevent assassination."

After listening to the translation, Pei Min couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mosremasa said: "From the beginning, I knew what the Byzantines meant, but I just disdained. They suddenly evacuated and changed their targets, which made people very uncomfortable."

Pei Min said solemnly: "I think it is Duke Remasa who wants to invite you into the trap and solve them in one breath. But he suddenly lost their traces, and it is natural for the Duke to feel panic."

Mosremasa smiled "haha" and refused to deny it, saying, "It's interesting to talk to you, and you don't need to beat around the bush. It's a pity that we can't speak and need to translate it, otherwise we will have a happy chat."

What kind of enemies are best to deal with?

Being a clever enemy.

Since Mosremasa knew that Byzantine had bribed the dead soldiers from the Western Regions, it was enough to show that the Arab Empire had special means in the news. Otherwise, they would not have known so much that even the dead soldiers knew where they came.

Mosremasa was like a cat teasing a mouse, playing with the Byzantines.

But suddenly the Byzantines disappeared, and Mosremasa looked at him.

The unknown enemy is always the most terrifying.

Did you give up on him? Or did you have another mission? Or would you hide deeper in order to kill one blow?

The enemy that is best to deal with in an instant becomes the most terrifying enemy.

How can Mosremasa not pay attention to it?

However, he was in a foreign country and was subject to many restrictions, so he could only find Pei Min and kill someone with a knife.

Pei Min's mind is as clear as a mirror, but even though he knows the other party's intention, he cannot help but become Mosremasa's sword!

This is an open and upright strategy, and Pei Min cannot joke with Li Chiying's safety.

Since Mosremasa learned that Princess Yuzhen could make black powder formula, then Byzantine people could also get it. Moreover, Byzantine is also one of the countries that have the most valued technology among all the countries that have spyed on the skills of the Tang Dynasty.

The predecessor of the Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire, and they even attached more importance to the development of science and technology than the Tang Dynasty.

China is centered on Confucianism and emphasizes the six arts of gentlemen. Most children's enlightenment focuses on the six arts of "ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy, and number". Byzantine regards arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy as the "four arts", philosophy, rhetoric, and ancient Greek as compulsory subjects for students. In addition, they also have a profound subject called theology.

Theology belongs to the category of higher education. In addition to some brainwashing doctrines, it also includes metallurgy and geography related to military. In the words of later generations, part of theology is chemistry.

This is also why Byzantines have Greek fire.

Byzantine has always been at the forefront of the world in chemistry.

Before the birth of black gunpowder, Greek fire was the world's number one black technology.

The Byzantines attached importance to technology and discovered the "thunderbolt" that was more powerful than the Greek fire. How could they not be moved?

Pei Min vaguely noticed that someone was following them yesterday, but there were too many people, and he could not determine whether it was an illusion, let alone pulling out the person.

The news revealed by United Mosremasa, even if it is not the Byzantines, it does not exclude other countries' covetousness for black gunpowder.

Even Mosremasa in front of him is doubtful that Byzantine needs black gunpowder, but Arabs don’t need it?

Pei Min didn't believe it if he beat Pei Min to death.

The current ruler of the Arab Empire was Omar II. His greatest wish was to completely resolve Byzantium. He launched three attacks on Byzantium and even created a huge naval army for this. In the end, they all failed... They were not defeated by Byzantium, but by Constantinople and Greek fire...

Constantinople was built more than 600 AD and has a history of 1,200 years. It is located on the cape between Golden Horn Bay and the Marmara Sea. It is a fortress facing the sea three times. When it comes to the solidity of the city defense and its innate advantages, I am afraid that Chang'an may not be able to compare.

Once the Arab Empire mastered the black gunpowder and directly blasted the only city wall, Byzantium was almost not far from destruction.

However, it is true that Arabs are not very feasible. They are not able to understand their strength into Chang'an.

Byzantines are different, by chance, they hold a group of Western Regions dead soldiers.

The Western Regions are now dominated by Chinese language, and they can lurk without leaving any trace in Chang'an.

After thinking about it, Pei Min also found that this knife was decided by himself.

Mosremasa leaked the news to him. In addition to helping him eliminate future troubles, he could also prevent Byzantine, a strong enemy, from getting black gunpowder, killing several birds with one stone.

The plan should be as loud as you wish.

This lion king is far from as rough as it seems!

Pei Min said: "Duke Remasa, you said I have helped you so much, are you giving me some indication?"
