Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 480: Interview with Lame Wolf Khan to steal the treasure (Part )
"Look, Great Khan, this Xiabo Bazaar (trade market) has a long history. It is said that it existed when the cripple was alive. The last time I led a delegation to Bukhara, I bought a lot of good things here. ”, Okchotbu brought Sultan to a bustling market.

"What cripple? How dare you be rude to the wise and powerful Sultan Timur?" The Great Khan of Lotus glared at him fiercely and walked into Xiabo Bazaar with Hu Liangqi. The entire market is neatly organized by industry, with rows of fixed stalls divided into categories, ranging from daily necessities to fruits and vegetables. Yes, everything is available, and there are even shops specializing in currency exchange. Gold, silver, and copper coins from various countries can be exchanged in the shop.

Huh? There is actually a shop that exchanges money. Excellent, let me see how the credit of David's coins is here. Sultan signaled the guards to take out a Qianyuan gold coin, a Qianyuan silver coin, and a Qianyuan Tongbao. "Shopkeeper, how do you exchange Weiguo's coins here?" he asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper, who had a Jewish beard, glanced at the coins and smiled shrewdly: "Are you a merchant from the Kingdom of Wei? Although these coins from the Kingdom of Wei are of good quality and have decent patterns, they are not beautiful in appearance. It is not as good as the coins of Bukhara, Persia, and Ming Dynasty. In a small shop, ten Bukhara gold coins are exchanged for eleven Persian gold coins, twelve taels of gold, and fifteen Qianyuan gold coins; the same is true for silver coins; as for copper coins, one One Bukhara gold coin is worth ten Bukhara silver coins, ten Bukhara silver coins are worth five hundred Bukhara copper coins, and fifteen Qianyuan Tongbao."

"Why is it that my David's coins are genuine but have the lowest exchange rate?" Sultan frowned displeased.

"The most despicable thing is not the Qianyuan Tongbao, but the coins of the Kazakhs. Those damn Kazakh bandits were short-handed and robbed when they minted the coins. No one wanted their coins. Not long after the founding of Weiguo, the credibility of coins was not as good as that of other countries. Naturally, the exchange is cheaper. In addition, the store also charges a commission of 1% of the exchange amount," the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Humph! I won't exchange it." The arrogant Khan could not accept the fact that the currency exchange rate of the Kingdom of David was low. He flicked his sleeves and left Xiabo Bazaar angrily.

When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses, bleeding and floating in the oars. The kind-hearted Hu Lianqi hurriedly tried to divert Sultan's attention and pointed to a building next to the Grand Bazaar, "Look over there, Khan. This gate is really high."

Sultan looked at it angrily, "Hey, it's spectacular!" One gate alone is more than ten feet (35 meters) high.

"Great Khan, my servant came here when he was on an envoy. This is the Bibi Khanem Mosque. It was built by the lame man, no, Bibi Khanem, the Ming Dynasty concubine of Sultan Tamerlane, when her husband was on an expedition to India. It is said that it was I wanted to give my husband an unexpected surprise when he returned from a trip. It is said that when Tamerlane returned, he found that the temple had not been built yet, so he personally supervised the progress of the project and ordered people to cook the meat and throw it directly to the craftsmen, just like feeding dogs." , Seeing that his master was curious, Ekchotbu hurriedly explained.

"There are thousands of households in Ekchuotebudu," Hu Lianqi chuckled.

"Oh, Vice-President Hu, what do you think General Mo said was wrong? Do you think Timur would not feed meat to craftsmen like a dog?"

"No, with that cruelty, such a thing can definitely be done. I just think that Bibi Hanem is definitely not the concubine of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty does not have a tradition of princess marriage. Maybe she is the princess of a small country in the Western Regions." , Hu Lianqi said.

"Well, what Hu Qing said is that the Ming Dynasty can't stand up even if it collapses. It's difficult to marry the princess of the Ming Dynasty! Only a hero like me can marry their princess as a noble concubine," Suletan said proudly Laughing, my mood suddenly improved. In fact, although Zhu Shizhong changed his name to "Zhangwu", he did not proclaim himself emperor, and Zhu Huiyan was only a princess, not a princess, but she was a daughter of the Ming Dynasty after all, which effectively satisfied someone's vanity. When everyone heard what he said, they naturally praised Longma's spirit. When he was happy, he saw that the outside of the temple was inlaid with black glazed tiles, mosaics and marble products carved with various patterns. It was beautiful and beautiful, and he regained his interest in playing.

When you walk into the temple, you can see a strong Persian style, but there are some innovations in details. For example, instead of using the Persian dome, which is famous for its delicate smoothness, it is decorated with rib-like raised lines; the murals in the temple are on a blue background. It is embellished with gold-plated relief patterns and oval flower patterns made of paper pulp, forming a natural effect similar to plant patterns; in the center of the yard, there is a marble Quran stand. It is said that women who climb up can have more children and more happiness; Bibi Ha Nem's mausoleum is just behind the courtyard. According to Muslim mausoleum tradition, the sarcophagus is just a tombstone and the body is in the catacombs. Bibi Hanem's mausoleum contains five sarcophagi, covered with silk silk, all of which look similar.

"This Bibi Khanem must be a peerless beauty who was deeply loved by Timur. Otherwise, how could he build a mosque and a separate mausoleum named after her? From this point of view, Lame Wolf is as infatuated as I am. "Sultan added gold to his face.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Well, Khan, go southwest and you'll find the royal cemeteries of Shayzinda and Timur's empire. Do you want to take a tour?" the smart Okchotbu asked obediently.

"Come on, I really want to see the scenery after Timur's death." Sultan walked towards Shahinda with great interest.

A huge Persian-style metal arch appeared in front of the Great Khan's eyes. The color of the door was very strange, glowing with a magical luster, and the blue dome was majestic, magnificent and solemn.

"Great Khan, this is the Guri Amir Mausoleum. Timur, his two sons, and two grandsons are buried here. The door is made of seven kinds of metals. It is said that it can summon the seven directions of prayers who believe in Allah. . This mausoleum was originally built by Timur for his grandson Mohammed. His own mausoleum was built in Shahrisabz. Unexpectedly, he died of illness on the way to attack the Ming Dynasty. His subordinates returned to Shah with the body. When I arrived in Lisabuz, the road was blocked by snow, so I could only be buried here."

After hearing this, Suletan sat under the huge blue dome of Timur's mausoleum, closed his eyes, and imagined the scene of swords, swords, and people tumbling on their backs. At this moment, he felt that Tamerlane was himself, and he was Tamerlane. They are both conquerors of the world, so what's the difference? "Alas! Fortune plays tricks on people! Even the greatest heroes cannot escape God's will," someone said leisurely.

The sigh lasted only for a moment, and soon the Great Khan, led by his guide Okchotbu, continued to visit the courtyard known as the "Garden of Heaven", with its blue ribbed arch domes and symmetrical minarets on both sides. Then entering the interior of the mausoleum, you can see that the interior decoration is more gorgeous than the outside. The walls are covered with ancient Arabic scriptures, seemingly abstract patterns, symbolizing "the immortality of Allah."
