Said's meeting with Qin Jin was only about half an hour, but the content of the conversation was extremely informative. In the middle of the night, Qin Jin sent people to secretly send Saeed to the place where Mahdi was being held, which could be regarded as identifying this Mahdi, although many captives had already come to help identify him.

Among them is Abbas, the former governor of Khorasan, whose status is very prominent in Dashi.

The place where Mahdi was being held looked like a camp within a camp, with a fence more than three people high, enclosing three wooden houses, a cramped open space inside, and a number of soldiers standing guard.

Outside the fence, there was a soldier standing guard three or five paces away.

The overall impression of Saied here is that the security is very high, and the people who are imprisoned inside may not be able to get out calmly even if they have wings.

However, Saeed was escorted by the prime minister's personal guard, and after showing the pass pass, he went all the way smoothly and successfully passed the layers of inspections.

At this time, the perception of the Shenwu Army barracks to Said immediately changed, and it was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He couldn't help but sigh that the previous illusions not only confused Fazle, but even he almost believed it.

Now that I think about it, the military official who is responsible for negotiating with me is willing to accept bribes of gold and silver, and I am afraid that it is also instructed by his superiors, otherwise how can he casually accept people's money and money conveniently."

If this is dealt with in accordance with the military discipline in the Shenwu Army, I am afraid that it will be charged with stabbing foreign thieves!

Entering the courtyard, a sense of oppression arises abruptly, and four high fences surround a relatively cramped clearing, making people feel as if they are at the bottom of a well.

The three cabins held important prisoners, and the prisoners in the other two rooms were unknown, and the soldier pointed to a wooden house to the east and said coldly:

"The man you want to see is in that room. ”

Saeed was also told that he could not meet with Mahdi alone and that he had to be accompanied by a lieutenant and two soldiers to prevent accidents.

To be honest, Saeed was a little hesitant before entering the wooden house, thinking that Mahdi was not bad to him, and now when they met again, his status had changed drastically.

The thick wooden door was opened, and the dim light inside cast on the ground, as if it were a large mouth waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.

Inside, on the wooden bed against the wall, was a man in a black robe, who was unrecognizable for a moment due to the darkness of the light and the fact that his face was covered by a turban.

But judging by the temperament of his gestures, Saeed is convinced that it is indeed Mahdi himself.

At this time, Said's heart was full of curiosity, and he was eager to know that Mahdi led 20,000 * Rui, although it was a defeated army, after all, the combat strength still existed, even if only fifty percent was left, it was impossible for the Khazars to capture him alive so easily.

"Your Highness?"

Said's voice trembled involuntarily.

Originally, the black-robed man was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed facing the wall, and his body suddenly stiffened after hearing Said's voice, followed by a long silence, he did not look back, only sighed faintly.

"You, you're a prisoner too?"

Immediately afterward, Said saw the black-robed man's shoulders shake violently and briefly.

"Well, I almost forgot that you and Fazler were sent on orders, and now we should be guests of these infidels, right?"

Said couldn't help but ask:

"Why didn't His Highness go back to Ctesiphon......?

He was asking Mahdi why he had not immediately returned to Ctesiphon with his troops according to the agreed plan, and if so, how could he have been reduced to a prisoner now?

"There is no point in discussing this now, the Khazar Khan and Yusuf have united to deceive me, you go back and tell the Caliph that you must punish the Khazars, peel off the skin of Afri, spread it in the square of Ctesiphon, and let it be trampled on......"

It was only then that Mahdi became agitated, and his tone was full of hatred for the Khazars.

Said smiled bitterly, now that the caliph was too busy to take care of himself, it would be difficult to start a war against the Khazars in a short time.

The Romans, the Khazars, and the Tang were like three iron chains, firmly binding Mansour's hands and feet.

As long as he attacks either side recklessly, the other two parties will not easily let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

According to his judgment, after Qin Jin reached an agreement with the Khazars, he would definitely secretly send envoys to the west to meet the Romans, and if the three parties reached an offensive and defensive alliance, as long as there were no accidents in the next few decades, the fate of the great cannibals would be compressed between the Tigris River and the Euphrates River, and it would be difficult to make any more big moves.

Said, of course, would not tell Mahdi about these circumstances, and after obtaining Mahdi's permission, he sat down on a rudimentary stool.

This kind of bearded stool was more popular among the Tang army.

Dashi usually sits on the floor, at most with a thick woolen blanket on the ground.

"I'm glad you can come to see me, and you don't have to sympathize with me, my fate is over. Go back and tell Fazler that you must not compromise with the Tang people, these people are all wolves who can't be fed......"

As he spoke, he finally twisted his neck, his eyes glowing with light through the gap in his turban, and he glanced at the Tang soldiers in charge of monitoring with hatred.

No matter what Mahdi said, Saeed nodded in agreement.

The prince of the Great Eclipse has reached such a point, so why bother him more!

In Said's view, it was better for Mahdi to fall into the hands of the Tang than to fall into the prison of the Khazars.

The Khazars were known for their mistreatment of captives, and in just a decade alone, several captured generals were brutally killed by them.

This is just one example of someone like Youssef who took the initiative to choose to cooperate and received preferential treatment.

On the other hand, the Tang people were very different, the Glolu people who had betrayed them were still reused after repenting, and Abbas's nephew even became the general of the Shenwu Army, and made a lot of military achievements in India in one year.

The rest of the Persians who joined the Shenwu Army, the Great Cannibals, and the ones who were reused are simply too many to count.

As the prince of the Great Food and the quasi-heir of the caliph, Mahdi has a precious and sensitive status, so he will not be used so much, but he will also be treated quite preferentially.

He privately speculated about Qin Jin's thoughts, and felt that it was very likely that Mahdi would be sent to Chang'an thousands of miles away, and then be kept in captivity by a small official.

This is a good result compared to being a prisoner, but for a man with great ambitions like Mahdi, I am afraid it will be a devastating result.

"Said, I send mail, you must wait for me to pass it on to the caliph. ”

Mahdi stretched out his hands from under his black robe, holding an object.

But Said's eyes were all focused on Mahdi's hands, both of which were wrapped in strips of rags, which had become black after being stained with blood and coagulated.

Only the thumb and little finger are exposed on the right hand, while the left hand has only the middle finger and little finger.

Said's heart sank.

It's not hard to imagine what happened to the prince of food.
