Zheng Xianli was receiving the envoy from the Great Food Court on behalf of Qin Jin.

On the surface, he was polite, but his attitude was very cold, and on the right side of Saeed was a middle-aged man with a beard, although his clothes were a little embarrassed, but he was quite elegant, and he was obviously the messenger representing the caliphate.

Qin Jin entered the military tent, and the eyes of the people present were focused on him, and Zheng Xianli hurriedly got up to greet him.

According to the rules, Qin Jin is the prime minister, and he should be greeted by relevant people, but he doesn't want to trouble and delay time, so everything is simple.

There are many rules in the court, the upper and lower respects, and the poor families are clearly distinguished, but they were all overthrown by Qin Jin in the Shenwu Army.

The Great Emissary was the nephew of Caliph al-Mansur, but this nephew was only two or three years younger than himself, he was young and capable, and the most important thing was that he was loyal to the caliph, otherwise he would not have been sent here to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty.

Said followed the Great Emissary step by step, accompanying him as a deputy envoy and advisor, second only to the envoy.

"Fazle meets the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

Fazler was quite used by Mansour in Ctesiphon, and his military exploits were numerous, and his status in Ctesiphon's court was no longer matched by few people, but he was still very humble and low-key, which was suitable to be the messenger of this peace.

Said, who was following Fazler, secretly glanced at Qin Jin, and kept his head down, as if he was restrained.

Similarly, Qin Jin didn't look at Said much, so as not to be seen as flawed. The attitude of him and Zheng Xianli was basically the same, and he led the other party to sit down again, and ordered someone to bring food and wine to entertain him.

All in all, the attitude towards the Great Cannibal is polite and cold.

Qin Jin accompanied the two envoys to say a few words of gossip and then left, and Zheng Xianli also took his leave, leaving only one military official to accompany him.

Fazler had been prepared to be given a cold reception at the beginning of his mission, but now he was just given a cold face, which was far lower than expected, not to mention that there was still wine and meat, so let's eat a big meal first. If the two powerful ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty were still there, they would be really embarrassed to let go of the food.

Regardless of it, he removed a large piece of mutton leg meat from the copper basin, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and then looked at Said, who was still restrained next to him, and cracked his mouth full of mutton and smiled:

"Don't you eat it soon, you can't eat well this way, you can't live well, you can finally eat a bite of steaming mutton!"

Hearing this, Said also removed his restraint, withdrew a piece of mutton from the copper basin, and devoured it.

A large pot full of mutton was eaten cleanly, and not a drop of wine was drunk in the two jars.

Patting his bulging belly, Fazler burped loudly in satisfaction, and then whispered to Said:

"You have lived in Middle-earth for decades, and the attitude of this Tang Dynasty prime minister ...... How much can the caliph's account be completed?"

Said wiped the oil from his mouth and hands and said:

"Indifferent, the Tang Dynasty people are the most courteous, and now we only let us eat wine and drink meat here, it doesn't look like there is any malice, but it is already extremely cold, I'm afraid they will open their mouths." ”

Fazler snorted coldly.

"Open your mouth widely, let these people know that the empire is not incapable of fighting!"

Before he could finish speaking, Said shook his head.

"It's hard, how do you let them know......? We have really lost two battles in Khorasan, and even the highly meritorious Governor Abbas has become a prisoner...... Unless, you can defeat them right away......"

"If we can defeat them at once, why bother now? The Khazars in the north have crossed the Caucasus to the south, and the Romans in the west have resumed their forces against Asia Minor, and we can win a sure victory against any of the three, but ......"

These are the weaknesses of the big food, and if three sides start a war at the same time, the victory or defeat is really unpredictable.

"Your Excellency Prince, this is in the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, we, we can't say that, it's even worse to be heard!"

Said covered his mouth and reminded in a low voice.

"Many people in the Tang Dynasty military camp will eat big words, don't be careless!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to the vizier reminder, don't say, don't say, eat meat, drink wine!"

But Fazler looked at the empty copper plate, and then at the jar where there was not a drop left, and asked with a wry smile:

"Can you ask them for more?"

To tell the truth, Fazle has suffered a lot of sins along the way, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, when has he ever lived such a life of eating and sleeping in the open.

Although the Great Cannibal is still martial, he was born in the court in the era of the Great Food in White, and has always stayed in Ctesiphon as a civil official, basically never going to many places, and has not fought with the army seriously.

After leaving the valley of the two rivers and entering the territory of Khorasan, there were barbarian cavalry everywhere, and the officials sent to the place by Ctesiphon were either killed or surrendered, so they almost went into hiding before they passed Sylvan.

Moreover, before arriving in Sylvain, he found Mahdi with great difficulty and persuaded him to return to Ctesiphon.

It's just that Fazler did not intervene in the persuasion work, but was at the sole discretion of Said.

Fortunately, Mahdi promised to come down and lead his troops back to Lianghe after the peace talks.

Until Mahdi's place, he lacked food and clothing, and did not even have any decent food to entertain his guests, which shows how difficult his situation was, and how he was constantly facing a sneak attack by Yusuf and the Sogdians.

Mahdi completely lost his former sharpness and aura, exhausted by the sneak attacks that took place all day long.

So, in Mahdi's place, Fazl also did not eat well, did not live well, and only now did he have a full meal.

Even if the belly is round, the hunger will not subside for a while.

Said cheekily asked the officer for mutton and wine, but the officer only refused coldly:

"The law and discipline in the Shenwu army are strict, and now that it is past lunch time, it is not allowed to fire without reason, and when it is time for dinner, someone will naturally bring someone to eat and drink. ”

Said was bored, and it was worth returning to Fazler in a huff.

"The Tang people said that someone will send it when the time comes, so let's go out for a walk, and by the way, find out what the Tang Dynasty military camp looks like. ”

Fazler asked worriedly:

"The Tang people can let us walk around?"

"Someone stopped us to talk, no one stopped us to leave, since you came, you can't just eat meat and drink wine......"

Despite all that, Fazler had something he was worried about, if he acted too aggressively, if he angered the Tang people, how would the peace talks continue?

But thinking about Said's words, it also made sense, so I agreed.

Unexpectedly, the military officer did not stop him, and after asking Said clearly, he said coldly:

"Although the law and discipline in the army are strict, as long as the noble envoy does not violate the military law, he can walk around!"
