Mahdi pointed to the shoe at his feet, a mouthful of white teeth bared, and his eyes showed obvious contempt.

The Great Eclipse spent little effort on the conquest of the East, and occupying Khorasan and restricting Hezhong and Tocharian had always been their established strategy. This was true from the Umayyad to the Abbasids.

Most of what Said has seen since he came to Ctesiphon are high-flying magnates, but the Mansur in front of him not only does not see arrogance and violence, but has a faint and unfathomable aura.

He is known as the actual founder of the Abbasid dynasty.

Everyone knows that although the Abbasid was the first caliph of the dynasty, Mansur's merits were almost equal to that of Muslim, who was executed. Especially after the deaths of Abbasid and Muslim, the Great Food completely pacified the opposition warlords in the East and West, especially the westward expedition against the Roman Empire, and almost completely drove the Roman army out of Asia Minor.

However, Mansour's ambition was not only to gain Asia Minor, but also to capture Constantinople, the pearl of pride of the Romans. It's a pity that Constantinople is guarded by both the strait and the fortified city, and it is not easy to conquer it.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, the Tang people dare to take the initiative to attack Khorasan, and the messenger sent by Uncle Abbas to ask for help, this shows that the comer is not weak and can be bullied, and even has a certain degree of aggression, think about it, how to deal with this emergency safely. ”

Mansur spoke slowly and logically, and when he mentioned the Tang army, it was as if he were discussing a common hunt and banquet.

Soon, Mansour's gaze turned to Saeed and said:

"Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to go, go and see the new capital of Baghdad, and you'll know that there's nothing in this world that can't be done!"

"The great caliph, Khorasan is as dangerous as an egg under a boulder, the old governor is anxious day and night with hemoptysis, where does the villain have time to play?"

Said's original intention was not to want al-Mansur to send troops to aid Abbas, otherwise his "mission" would not be over, he just wanted to run a business between the river and Anxi in peace and comfort.

Therefore, he was not polite to Mansur in words, and even faintly impolite.

While being rude, he also had to be careful, Syed didn't want to anger Mansour, and if he lost his head because of this, he would be wronged.

It is enough to succeed in arousing al-Mansour's dislike for himself, and to distance himself from himself.

As soon as Said's words came out, everyone present was stunned, and even Mahdi, who seemed to be fearless, opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, looking at this seemingly ignorant and fearless businessman in disbelief.

This merchant was the first to dare to speak to the great caliph in this way.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Accusations suddenly rang out in the palace hall. Unexpectedly, al-Mansur smiled suddenly, and saw the great caliph press his hands and signal everyone to be quiet.

"Uncle really didn't entrust the wrong person, don't worry, I will definitely send reinforcements, and my uncle is not as fragile as you think!"

Mansour smiled and pointed at Said, speaking with great sincerity. This made Saeed confused, could it be that he had inadvertently touched the temper of the caliph? In this way, instead of arousing his ill feelings towards himself, it was self-defeating!

Instantly, Saeed was a little frustrated, he felt that he had done something stupid, and what about just following Mansur's request to visit the new capital of Baghdad?

Well, now that the caliph himself said it, in order to assert his absolute authority, he would easily not break his word.

In the eyes of Mahdi and his ministers, al-Mansur had an unprecedented tolerance for the merchant from Khorasan, and that it would not have come to a good end if anyone had dared to disobey his will so blatantly.

Mansur got up and walked in front of Said.

"Let's go, why don't I take you to see Xindu in person!"

Baghdad was one of the great things al-Mansur did when he became caliph, and there was nothing more important than the attack on the Roman Empire.

Ctesiphon has been the old capital of Persia for thousands of years, and it has been the old capital of the Umayyad for more than 100 years.

Al-Mansur's ambition was not just to be a caliph, he wanted to be a caliph that no one had ever come before or since, so he had to create miracles that were unattainable for both those who came before and those who came after him.

Externally, he wanted to conquer the Roman Empire and make the Romans slaves of the Great Cannibals. Internally, he wants to build a new capital with a bright flame far away from Ctesiphon, so that this new capital will be passed on, undefeated for thousands of years, and let future generations remember his name.

However, this was the first time al-Mansur had treated a lowly merchant in this way.

"How can the villain dare to let the great caliph be his guide? The villain will go back, hire a guide, and go to see the glorious new capital!"

Said was determined to arouse al-Mansour's ill feelings towards him, so he spoke with a thorn.

Although I can't find anything wrong with it on the surface, it always makes people feel awkward when I hear it in my ears.

Mahdi and the ministers changed color again, they were all elites of the empire, how could they not hear the irony implicit in Said's words.

However, this time, no one dared to recklessly scold.

You know, Saeed touched on two untouchable scales of al-Mansur, one was against the westward expedition, and the other was against the creation of a new capital.

In particular, the construction of the new capital took a lot of effort from Mansour, and anyone who dared to criticize and oppose it did not end well.

Mahdi was simply already counting down, waiting for the caliph to drive out the stupid merchant and bury him alive.

Who would have thought that Mansour would be uncharacteristically and asked with a smile:

"Am I not worth your dinar?"

"Huh?"

Saeed didn't know how to answer! As a caliph, how could he not have the errand of a mere guide and care about those dozens of dinars?

Besides, to have the caliph to be his guide must be crazy just thinking about it.

"No, no, no, the villain does not dare to let the great caliph be condescended, and the villain assures that every dinar owned by the villain is the property of the caliph!"

Such a meaty sycophant, the people of the court of Ctesiphon could not say it, and Mansur laughed loudly.

"Since I am the great caliph, how can I arbitrarily seize the property of my subordinates? Put your heart in your belly, and let Mahdi show you Baghdad and tell your uncle that a magnificent mansion has been built for him in the new capital!"
