Chapter 1352: Awkward goodbye

It wasn't until the fifth day that Fazler was informed that he was going to see an important person.

Fazler repeatedly asked if he could meet the young Tang courtier, but the answer was always ambiguous, and although he was dissatisfied, he finally made progress, which was much better than doing nothing all day.

He and Said analyzed, looking at the tone of the other party, the person in charge of meeting this time should not be the young prime minister, at least it should be a general-level figure.

"It's likely that it was the general who was in charge of receiving us that day, Lao Cheng, who was in charge!"

Said prefers that it should be Zheng Xianli who is responsible for receiving them.

I just waited for a morning, but no one came, and both of them were impetuous when waiting.

It wasn't until noon that a military officer finally came to inform him that they would have wine and meat with that important man at lunchtime.

These days have been soup and scones, and Fazle's mouth has long since faded out of the bird, and he is very much looking forward to hearing that there is a banquet.

They followed the military officers who led the way to an area they had never set foot in.

Although they had been idle for a few days, Fazle and the fourth aunt had walked through the entire barracks where they could move freely, which had never been opened, and it seemed that there should be important people.

When they entered the tent, they saw clearly the people seated in the banquet, and both of them froze.

Said reacted quickly and hurried to Guanzler, only to see an expression of disbelief on his face, followed by embarrassment and anger...... Soon, these emotions were suppressed again, replaced by a cold smirk.

The important people sitting in the table obviously did not expect to see Fazle and Said, and the embarrassment on his face was no less than that of these two.

It was Zheng Xianli who accompanied him during the banquet, and he quickly got up and beckoned Fazl and Saeed to take their seats.

"Your envoy, please come to the table, the wine and meat have been prepared for a long time!"

It's still a word or two of greetings that don't hurt or itch.

If Fazl had been in the past, he would have left angrily, but now he is on a mission with the caliphate, so I am afraid that he will not be able to go back.

The Caliph never showed mercy to those who failed in their duties.

It was precisely because of many scruples that Fazler swallowed all his anger and was conceded into the banquet by Zheng Xianli.

The important person they met was none other than Abbas, the former governor of Khorasan and a prince of the empire.

It's a pity that today's Abbas is no longer the desert lion of yesteryear, at best an old and sick lion with all his teeth and nails removed.

Abbas smiled cooperatively and greeted Fazle.

He knew two people who suddenly appeared, one was a trusted servant of the caliph, and the other was a merchant who ruined his family.

The two unrelated people suddenly came together, and Abbas vaguely realized something.

It's just that this premonition made him faintly depressed and worried.

Of course, even if all the premonitions came true, it had nothing to do with him as a prisoner.

Even if the empire is strong, even if the caliphs defeat the Tang army that marched westward, even if they return to Ctesiphon, they will only be treated as unforgivable criminals, sent to the gallows, and shamefully hanged.

Rather than die in humiliation, it is better to live in aggrieved under the protection of the Tang Dynasty.

After having been in contact with Qin Jin for so long, Abbas is also relatively aware of this conqueror from the East, this person is not a person who likes to kill, on the contrary, he is also a very friendly person who is willing to give anyone a chance to live.

As long as they are willing to exchange their own value for this comfort, the Tang Dynasty people will give this comfort a relatively reliable guarantee.

It was actually his nephew who worried Abbas, and after his nephew left Mulu City, he was also defeated all the way and was finally captured alive.

To his relief, his nephew was finally favored by the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and was reused, and made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield in India, and is now a well-known general in the Tang Dynasty coalition army.

Moreover, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not exclude and suppress aliens or infidels, relatively speaking, these people who did not have absolute beliefs and were open to all religions.

It is rare to neither promote any faith nor suppress any faith.

Therefore, those tribal groups that were once suppressed by the empire lived comfortably under the protection of the Tang Dynasty.

Abbas also had to admire the tolerance of the Tang people, which may be what they were better than the big food.

"Fazler, why are you here? It's great to meet here, we can have a good drink!"

"Although I never drink with those who have lost battles, you are the uncle of the caliph, and today I will make an exception, Sa'id......"

As he spoke, he turned his head and pulled Said to introduce him to the famous former governor of Khorasan in front of him.

In order to avoid Abbas's embarrassment, Saeed took the lead in saluting.

"Said is ashamed to see His Excellency the Governor!"

Fazler looked at the two men with some surprise.

"You know?"

Said laughed:

"How did Your Highness forget that before the villain came to the court of Ctesiphon, he worked in the residence of the governor of Khorasan, and he was also ordered to deliver a letter when he arrived at Ctesiphon......"

Hearing this, Fazler suddenly realized that in the past, Said was just an insignificant little person, who still cares about his origins?

Even if he was appointed by the caliph as his deputy, Fazl did not really pay attention to Said, after all, the two people's backgrounds and positions are too far apart, and there is no military exploits as a foundation, how can they get the attention of a high-ranking and powerful person like Fazl?

Said knew in his heart that the Tang Dynasty had arranged this sudden meeting to humiliate Abbas or Fazle.

From what he knew about the young minister, there was definitely a purpose for doing so.

That's why Said paid special attention to Fazler's reaction, because even if he thought about it with his toes, he could guess that it must be related to the peace talks of the war.

It seems that the Tang people have really put a lot of effort into achieving better results, but whether the former governor can cooperate or not may be unknown.

However, judging from Abbas's current performance, he is still very cooperative, not only did not dismantle the stage, but also was very obedient.

Think about Abbas, the governor of Khorasan a year ago, although he was sick and fragmented, he was always in the aura and never dared to look at him directly, and now he is in good health, but the whole person is like a sick cat, and he will never be the same again.

It's hard to imagine what Abbas went through after he became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty.

Although it seems to be treated well, is it just for this level of captivity to wear out all the momentum of a person?

With many questions, Said couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity.
