After a series of blows, Fazler himself did not know that his state of mind had changed subtly.

In a way, this change has made it easier for him to accept terms that previously seemed absurd and unacceptable.

For example, Boslis, which had not yet been controlled by the Tang people, was assigned to Khorasan and restored the Persian state.

The Tang people were happy to accept the redemption method he proposed, and Zheng Xianli pondered for a while before adding:

"The method of redemption can be determined, but the specific amount of the payment still needs to be studied, and the way to pay the payment also needs further consultation, I don't know what your envoy wants?"

Fazler breathed a sigh of relief, he was only afraid that the Tang people would not know how to be flexible and would not let go, then the talks would really not be able to continue.

Therefore, when Zheng Xianli said this, he continued to accept it.

"It should be studied, it should be discussed, this is not a trivial matter, and I hope that your country will act according to the agreement from beginning to end!"

Zheng Xianli glanced at Fazler dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by your envoy, is it that my Tang Dynasty has always loved to go back on his word?"

Fazler waved his hand repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that, I just hope that the general can give me a guarantee, otherwise I will go back and explain to the caliph after signing the voucher with such empty teeth?"

Zheng Xianli said:

"Don't worry, the prime minister will definitely not make it difficult for you, if you follow my temperament, what else to talk about, call over first and then talk about it......"

As he spoke, he looked at Fazler with some amusement.

"To tell you the truth, the warriors of my Shenwu army are looking forward to the day when they will drink the Euphrates!"

It's a pity that Fazler's translation is a half-hearted, and he only understands the surface meaning of the Chinese language, but he doesn't understand the euphemistic expressions at all.

Fazler also thought that the Tang people intended to send an envoy to Ctesiphon as a return gift, so he naturally smiled sincerely:

"If the general goes to Ctesiphon, I am willing to personally lead the way for the general!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zheng Xianli was obviously stunned, and then laughed again.

"Well, if your envoy is willing to lead the way, it will be great!"

Everyone present understood this awkward conversation, and they all laughed along.

The atmosphere was suddenly disturbed by this little episode, but the deputy envoy Said, who was in the back, was greatly embarrassed.

Of course, he understood Zheng Xianli's threats and ridicule, but how could he expose it in public at this time and place, so that Fazler could not get off the stage?

The basic tone of the peace talks between the two sides had been set, and the details could not be solved overnight, so Zheng Xianli quickly left, citing that he was not busy, and Fazler and Saeed also returned to their tents.

Fazler's expression was somewhat relaxed, and it was clear that the progress of events today had dispelled the stress of the worries that had been in place for several days.

However, after the relaxation, it is not really easy.

If this draft agreement is really followed, Fars and Khorasan, which belong to the empire, will be ceded out, which is equivalent to cutting off one of the empire's arms, and the caliph will certainly not be happy to accept it. For the long-term interests of the empire, it is bound to be unbearable, and the chain reaction brought about by this is something that needs to be considered and worried.

It's just that an invisible storm is brewing inside the imperial court, and I don't know when it will erupt.

If it erupts, the damage to the empire will probably far outweigh the side effects of losing Fars and Khorasan.

"Said, has the messenger sent to Ctesiphon have any news back?"

On the day they arrived in Sylvan, they sent back to inform al-Mansur that everything was going well, and knowing that they knew that Mahdi had fallen into the hands of the Dons, they sent a group of men back to Ctesiphon to make sure that Mansour knew the bad news as soon as possible, so that they could take countermeasures.

Mahdi's capture had clearly disrupted all of al-Mansour's previous plans, and an heir crisis was inevitable.

After all, most of Mansour's sons were incompetent, and Mahdi was outstanding, but now Mahdi could never return to Ctesiphon, and the founder of the dynasty, Abbasid, had many sons who were young and powerful, and they were generals with military power, and their originally somewhat dim desire to seize the throne would inevitably be magnified again.

Just thinking about it, Fazl couldn't help but shudder, since the Umayyad dynasty fought for the position of caliph uninterrupted, a large number of nobles and tribal leaders were swept in, and they were killed or exterminated.

Said's people were swept into the whirlpool of seizure of the throne during the Umayyad Dynasty, and finally ended up in a tragic end.

Fazler was not a strong-minded man, and when he thought that his family might also be involved in the struggle for the throne, his previous worries about the empire were now all transferred to the worries of his family and tribe.

However, despite his premonition of danger, he was powerless to do anything to deal with it, because his family and tribe had always been Mansur's staunchest supporters, and if Mansur managed to overcome the crisis, if not, his family and tribe would surely be destroyed along with him.

It's just that he can't say these words to anyone, and Said can only see him frowning and thinking, but he doesn't know that the prince's mind has already flown back to Ctesiphon, thousands of miles away.

"There is no news, calculate the time, the fastest group of people should have already embarked on the return journey, and they will arrive in Sylvan in three or two days!"

Fazler shook his head.

"What's the use of coming back? The news they brought back was of no use to the Caliph when he had not learned of the Mahdi's capture!"

Saeed said:

"What the villain is most worried about now is that the Khazars and the Tang people may take the initiative to spread this news to the Ctesiphon court, if the caliph can't effectively curb the spread of rumors, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Fazler said:

"Don't worry, the caliph is far more powerful than you and I think, those despicable tricks will not succeed, if the caliph is willing to put down his brotherhood and kill a few unruly people...... Presumably, it should be able to deter people's hearts and prevent chaos......"

As he said this, Fazler gritted his teeth, and his voice was as cold as if coming from an ice cellar. Even Said shuddered, it was the first time he had seen such a grim expression on Fazle's face.

Now he should be worried about the negotiation with the Tang people, but what Fazler thinks about is all related to the court of Ctesiphon, and it seems that Ctesiphon's situation is far more dangerous than he knows!
