But he is still constantly troubled by the temple elders.

Several figures poked out on the city wall and looked down at them. Isaac said a few words in Persian, which can be used here. Those people looked at the cavalry coming with their heads down in the wind and sand behind, and then the city gate opened. Ebenedict and Isaac hid aside as quickly as possible. Before the people on the city wall could react, the cavalry rushed straight to the city gate. At this time, a soldier on the city wall finally woke up and shouted in panic. But at the same time, a cavalry pulled the trigger at the gate. He fell to the city amid the gunshots. Then the cavalry rushed straight into the city, and at the same time pulled out a second short gun and pulled the trigger facing a Hami man trying to close the city gate...

Benedict E was in front of the city gate and silently watched the cavalry running by.

Gunshots kept ringing in the city.

"These vicious pagans are like Mongolians."

Isaac stood there and whispered.

"No, no, they came from the Ming Dynasty, where gold was everywhere in the legend."

E Bendeon said.

"Then where is the Khitan we are going to?"

Isaac said.

"It should be in the north of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

E Bendeon said uncertainly.

Well, their destination is actually Khitan.

The reason why Abak funded him was that he hoped to determine where the Khitan was through his itinerary and then facilitate his conquest. Europe has always believed that the Khitan and the Ming Dynasty were two different countries, and the Khitan believed in Christianity, so if he could find the Khitan in the East, he could gain an ally.

As for missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, they had already known this...

This era of information transmission is very slow.

And other missionaries, including the Vatican, may not necessarily believe in Matteo Ricci.

More than ten years is indeed very long.

But the information transmission of this era is actually not enough to resolve this misunderstanding. A letter sent from the Ming Dynasty may take two or three years to receive a reply from the Vatican. Even if an accident occurs during the period, it may take longer. It is not surprising that more than ten years. In history, Benedict E met a team of Yarkand tribute envoys in Karashar, that is, Yanqi. The latter lived in the same place as Matteo Ricci, who was in the capital at that time. Not only did he tell him this, he also took out a piece of paper in Portuguese. Only then did Benedict E learned about Matteo Ricci's news.

Without this piece of paper, he could not confirm it.

Because Matteo Ricci was named in the Ming Dynasty, all Ebenedict knew was Priest Richie.

But Benedict E is still half-believing and half-doubting about the fact that the Ming Dynasty and the Khitan are the same place.

He was finally convinced that this was in Suzhou.

Because the caravan he met brought him news about Matteo Ricci again, and told him many Ming place names, which corresponded to the Khitan place names in European legends, he was sure that the Ming was the Khitan. But this time he didn't know anything. The tribute envoy from Yarkand to the Ming Dynasty was gone, and Matteo Ricci had never been to the capital. Of course, no one could bring him news to Benedict E, so until now Benedict E is still looking for the legendary Khitan.

"General, do you know where the Khitan is?"

He asked Li Changgeng who was about to enter the city.

"Khitan?"

Li Changgeng was stunned for a moment.

Then he woke up.

"Didn't Matteo Ricci tell you yet? The Khitan was a country six hundred years ago. Later, the country's name was changed to Liao. Liao was destroyed by Jin. Jin and Song were destroyed by Mongolia. Mongolia changed its name to Dayuan, and then it was the Ming Dynasty. The Khitan you mentioned was just a country in the north of the Ming Dynasty that had been destroyed for five hundred years.

And according to our inference, the Khitan you mentioned should be the Western Liao.

After the Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao, the remnants of Liao fled to the Western Regions and continued to use Liao as their country's name. The actual ruling area is where we are now, including the Yarkand where you pass."

Li Changgeng wrote to him.

“That is, this is a misunderstanding?”

E Bendu said in surprise.

"Yes, Matteo Ricci and others should have written to the Vatican to explain it."

Li Changgeng said.

"In this way, my trip will be considered successful!"

Benedict E said obviously excitedly.

He finally proved that the Khitan and the Ming Dynasty were actually the same place.

"General, why did the Ming Dynasty attack the Western Regions?"

He asked immediately.

"Da Ming? No, we are Da Yuan?"

Li Changgeng said with a smile.

"Dayuan?"

E Bendu said in a daze.

"Yes, Dayuan."

Li Changgeng said.

Benedict E looked at the handwriting on the ground that had not been blown away by the wind and sand...

Mongolia changed its name to the Yuan Dynasty.

"Are you Mongolians?"
