Chapter 243

On the bright blue Mediterranean Sea, a small boat sails towards the Canaan lowlands in the warm breeze.

This land, according to legend, is the promised land given to Jews by God.

Since the Jews originally divided the two countries, Israel and the Jewish state, they were successively defeated by the Assyrians and the balumbians. The Jews who lost their country and their families became slaves of Assyrians and Babylonians.

The Jews were destroyed by Assyria and baronby in 586 BC and 722 BC respectively.

The capital of the Jewish kingdom was conquered by barenby, and the Babylonians later took most of the Jews to Babylon as slaves. Sixty years later, the Persian Empire conquered Babylon, Cyrus ordered the release of the Jews imprisoned in Babylon, and the Jews returned to Jerusalem.

Since then, the ancient Greek and Roman expeditionary forces have come here. After centuries of cruel rule, Jews were slaughtered like fish.

In AD 66, the Jews set off a large-scale uprising against the plunder and taxes of the Roman Empire, known as the "Jewish War". The war lasted four years. In A.D. 70, the Roman army captured Jerusalem and submerged the whole city in a pool of blood.

1.1 million people were killed and 97000 sold as slaves.

After the defeat of the Jewish War, a large number of Jews were forced to leave their hometown and scattered all over the world.

In the 7th century, the army of the Arab Empire came here, and the Canaan lowlands became the rule of the Arab Empire. Originally, it was the land of reproduction promised by God. Because of the loss of its master, it was gradually occupied by foreigners.

……

The time line at this time is 947 A.D. the Middle East was dominated by the Fatima Dynasty. In Chinese history, it was called "green food". In its East, it occupied the territory of "black food", including Persia, Caucasus and Central Asia. In the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, there is also an Arab regime, which is known as the "white food" in Chinese history and the "caliphate of Cordoba" in European countries, also known as the "Western Saracen Empire"

……

After seven days of sea voyage, Jiangning and Elizabeth are finally approaching their destination.

Jiangning, the place they chose to land is Joppa! This is the name of Greece, and the Jews call this good port Jaffa, the later Tel Aviv.

……

After stepping out of the boat and being down-to-earth, Jiangning looked up at the dock environment.

As a well-known port since ancient times, Tel Aviv is very active in marine trade. On the wharf, there are merchant ships moored everywhere, and there are a lot of people on the shore, people coming and going, constantly moving and unloading goods.

As a foreigner, the looks of Jiangning and Elizabeth are too different from those of most Arabs. Put on the big hood, Jiangning takes Elizabeth into the city.

After entering the city, Jiangning is going to find a hotel to settle down. The sea voyage since the seventh day has made life a little boring. But Elizabeth did not feel that it was probably her first voyage. Along the way, Elizabeth's spirit was strong. Every day is not doing sports with Jiangning, or looking at the beautiful Mediterranean scenery.

Now, when she comes to the Middle East, Elizabeth is in high spirits.

……

The next morning, Jiangning was forcibly pulled up by Elizabeth and dragged him around the city.

Jiangning has no interest in this. What's worth appreciating about the ancient dilapidated houses? What we eat, drink, wear and use are not as modern as they are today. We really don't know where to hang out.

Jiangning's footwork has slowed down a lot because he is carrying an oil bottle. He plans to travel more in this ancient land.

In the city, there are many European faces, most of them businessmen.

Businessmen are probably the most adventurous people in the world. As long as there are businessmen, they dare to go wherever they are. They don't care if you have black skin, white skin or yellow skin. What I care about is business, whether I can make money or not, and nothing else.

Although Elizabeth's appearance will not stand out here. But Jiangning's appearance can arouse people's curiosity. Oriental soft face, black hair, plus the pair of hard to identify in the end is black or brown, brown eyes. In this foreign land far away from China, it's really curious to suddenly see an oriental face.

Jiangning turned a blind eye to these curious eyes.

He understands this kind of look, when you are surrounded by people with the same skin color, hair color and pupil color from childhood to adulthood in any country or nation. You won't be surprised, but one day, when yellow haired, blue eyed European white people suddenly appear in your life circle, you may be very curious and even surround them like monkeys.

Accompanying Elizabeth shopping, Jiangning found that Tel Aviv is a city where witches and ordinary people live together.

It's just that witches can tell each other, but ordinary people can't tell whether their neighbors are ordinary people or witches.

Along the way, Jiangning met several waves of Arab wizards, whose magic (mana) could not hide from Jiangning's eyes. The vast amount of magic hidden in Jiangning's body can not hide from these Arab witches. Between each other, brush past, most of each other with a nod of goodwill.

……

Jiangning found that these Arab witches collected a variety of minerals and plants, which are very rich. What's more, most of them are things that they have never collected.

With the attitude of research and experiment, Jiangning naturally bought a batch of them for future research.

Just then, a sound of scolding and whipping came.

Following the reputation, I saw an Arab bearded man waving a whip, constantly whipping and rolling on the ground. While whipping, while constantly cursing, a few whips down, was hit on the back of the skin immediately.

The Arabs around them were smiling and even cheering.

At this time, from the crowd of onlookers, suddenly out of a group of men and women, young and old. They stopped the whip wielding Arabian moustache. A woman came forward and kept trying to say something, but the Arabian moustache didn't pay any attention. Rudely push away the woman, and then waving a whip, constantly whipping the crowd.

"Please, don't fight any more."

"Chinese?"

Hearing the familiar mother tongue, Jiangning pushed away the crowd and stepped forward to check. This one sees, the facial expression instantly becomes iron blue!

In front of these ragged, filthy men, women and children, it is clear that they are the same Chinese as themselves. All of them, young and old, wore heavy fetters, which clearly represented the status of slaves!

"Shua!"

The crowd only felt a cold silver flash; I didn't know what was going on, but I saw the action of the Arab beard who raised his whip and froze in an instant.

And in the center of the scene, there was a strange figure.

He was dressed in a big black robe, with leather armor and shoulders on his chest, and dark brown leather boots at his feet. In his right hand, he holds a bright silver blade about one meter long.

The crowd was silent at this time, and even the beaten man looked up at Jiangning in surprise. At this time, the breeze came. With a hiss, the head of the immobile Arab slave owner rose up in an instant. Scarlet blood, turned into rain of blood.

The crowd didn't change dramatically until then!

The crowd immediately retreated, leaving at least three meters of space for Jiangning.

Turning around, the crowd immediately stirred and retreated. He took off the hood he was wearing and showed a soft Oriental face. He looked at the group of slaves who were surprised and surprised: "are you all right? Why did you become slaves of barbarians?"

"You... You are..." one of the elders, with trembling hands, looked at Jiangning in surprise. After a long time, he was very excited and said again, "are you from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Tang people? You mean Datang? " Jiangning asked.

Hearing the word "Datang", the old man said excitedly: "yes, Datang! Are you from Datang? "

Jiangning had a little guess about the identity of these people: "are you descendants of Anxi army?"
