Wulube rode on the horse and looked at the scenery in the city curiously. He was also very shocked by this big city called Xi'an. Originally, in his understanding, Samarkand was the largest city in the world, but it was not until he came to the Ming Dynasty and saw the city in front of him that he realized that he was too ignorant before.

Around Ulube, there was a mission of thousands of people, carrying a large number of valuable gifts, all of which were given to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The young Ulube was the official envoy of this mission.

Ulube was the grandson of Timur. His father was Shaharu, who was captured by the Ming Dynasty. He was also Shaharu's eldest son. He was loved and valued by Shaharu since he was a child. Ulube himself was also extremely intelligent, or he was a genius. He could learn anything at once. Moreover, he was particularly proficient in astronomy and mathematics. Although he was not old, he could no longer find a teacher to teach him in the entire Timur Empire.

In fact, this Ulube was also quite famous in history. He was a famous astronomer, mathematician, poet and philosopher in the 15th century. He was also the fourth sultan of the Timur Empire. He presided over the construction of the famous Ulube Observatory, which had a device with precision astronomical instruments such as giant quadrants, and collected a large number of books such as astronomical calendar calculations. It was one of the most advanced observatories at that time.

Of course, Ulube is just a minor child. This time, Timur entrusted an important task to serve as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose is to seek the understanding of the Ming Emperor and bring the captured Shaharu and Haril back to Samarkand.

The reason why Timur sent a child like Ulube, who was not a grown-up, was actually a helpless move. His defeat this time was so miserable that it could even be said that he had lost the power to talk to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Timur had detained the Ming Dynasty's mission before and even deliberately humiliated the mission. With such a criminal record, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not have any good face to Timur's mission, and even just retaliated against his mission and directly detained his mission. As for peace talks, it was even more impossible.

So in this case, Timur also took a different approach and directly sent the child Wulube as an envoy. First, he was his own grandson and had a heavy weight. Second, although Wulube was young, he was knowledgeable and talented, and had a steady personality. He was not inferior to adults in all aspects, so he was fully qualified for the position of an envoy. After all, the Ming Dynasty hated Timur and should not have been ruthless against a child.

Wulube was very smart. He knew the reason why his grandfather sent him to the Ming Dynasty. However, in order to save his father, he was willing to take risks. But what he didn't expect was that after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he suddenly opened his eyes. It turned out that there was a country more prosperous than the empire established by his grandfather.

"Teacher Qasim, isn't this the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" Ulube looked at the prosperous city of Xi'an while walking, and then asked a middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man was named Abu Qasim, who was the astronomy and mathematics teacher of Ulube. This time he also joined Ulube to serve as the deputy envoy of the mission.

"This is Xi'an. It is said that it was the capital of the Central Plains dynasty before. However, the original capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Nanjing and later moved to Beijing, which was still very far away from it." Qasim replied. He had done his homework before coming to the Ming Dynasty. Even after entering the Ming Dynasty, he hired some people to explain the situation of the Ming Dynasty to himself, so he now has a very good understanding of the Ming Dynasty.

"A former capital was so prosperous, then wouldn't the capital be more prosperous than Samarkand?" Ulube also exclaimed at this time, but what he didn't know was that his cousin Haril had also expressed the same emotion after entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sultan led more than 400,000 troops to the east, and they were defeated by the Ming army. And as far as I know, the Ming army still defeated the more with fewer troops, and only dispatched more than 200,000 troops. From this we can see that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is far above us!" Qasim also replied in a low voice to Ulube at this time.

After the incident of Timur's miserable defeat was passed back to Samarkand, the entire Timur Empire became riots, and many great nobles in places even took the opportunity to attack and asked Timur to give an explanation. After all, during the Eastern Expedition, Timur also mobilized a lot of troops and supplies from them, and now all of these people have been lost in the Ming Dynasty.

There were also some nobles in remote areas of the empire who simply took the opportunity to declare independence and no longer accept the leadership of the empire. In fact, this is normal. After all, the territory captured by Timur was too large and he did not have the power of the Ming Dynasty. Many places could only rely on the rule of local powers. If he was strong, it would be fine, but as long as his strength was weak, these places would definitely rebel.

In fact, during Timur's life, almost all revolted around the two things of conquest and anti-conquest. Some places even rebelled many times and were conquered many times. But even so, many places were still in harmony with Timur, so it was normal to have rebellion.

However, after all, Timur was a hero of a generation. After returning to Samarkand, he immediately dealt with several of the most happy nobles with iron-blooded means, and soon stabilized the core area of ​​the empire. As for external rebellions, he had no time to pay attention to it. However, with his personality, he would probably organize troops to clear out these rebellions soon.

"It is possible to defeat my grandfather without superior military strength. No wonder my grandfather was so cautious when he fought in the east. I just hope that this powerful empire could forgive my grandfather's faults and not make things too difficult for us." When Wulube said the last time, the young man also showed a look of worry on his face. After all, he was still a child, and it was the first time he had such a heavy responsibility, so he was not sure.

"Urugbek!" Qasim suddenly said to Urugbek with a serious expression. Urugbek is the nickname of Urugbek by his family. This title comes from Turkic words and means a great nobleman. Later Urugbek did not disappoint this title.

Ulube was also startled by Qasim's serious expression, and then sat up straight, because he knew that the teacher would only use the title Urugbuick when he said something important.

Sure enough, Qasim took a deep breath at this time, and then he reminded in a solemn tone: "Our mission this time is very difficult, especially for the understanding of Daming, and even asked Daming to release your father and your cousin. This is simply an impossible task."

Qasim paused at this point, and then reminded again: "But you have to remember that compared to the tasks assigned to us by Dahan, ensuring your safety is the most important thing. Even if you cannot complete the task, you must leave Daming safely!"
