The quiet night in Mulu City lasted only one day, and the next day at midnight the rumbling earthquake began again, and a large part of the city wall collapsed with it.

Although Abbas was sure that Ayi would lead his army back to help, four days had passed, and the reinforcements had not returned, and the Persian rebels had a good time to fight outside the city. If you continue to take such an adventure, I really don't know if the ending will be good or bad.

The next day, Abbas gathered his staff to discuss how to deal with it, and a low-ranking official, who usually didn't like to show himself, suddenly stood up and made a suggestion that surprised everyone.

Abbas was stunned for a while, but immediately returned to normal.

"Bribes can be retired?"

Now, the big food soldiers in Mulu City are simply not strong enough to repel the Persian rebels outside, and the waiting reinforcements are far away, if the situation gets worse and worse, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no irreparable accidents.

You can't all put all your eggs in the same basket, otherwise the basket will be destroyed and there will be no eggs left.

Abbas, though proud by nature, was also a pragmatic man, and there was nothing he could not do to get the Persian rebels to retreat and give him time to prepare for a counterattack.

I only heard the low-ranking official say in a dry voice:

"Most of the rebellious Persians were merchants on the Tocharian trade route, they only pursued money and profit, and as long as they could come up with enough tempting bargaining chips, it was not impossible to withdraw their troops!"

The man seemed a little nervous, perhaps because he rarely spoke in public. Abbas pondered for a moment, thinking that this method could be tried, and then looked at the few Persian officials present.

"Do you have any old acquaintances among the rebels?"

When this sentence came out, the Persian officials shook their heads in unison and denied it.

Everyone knows that the most hostile to this governor is the Persians, and it is a miracle that they can remain in the governor's palace and continue to be officials, who would dare to admit that he has fornicated with those rebellious Persians so blindly?

Abbas was a little angry, he didn't need many of these staff members to come up with ideas in the future, but now he can use them, and he just wants to protect himself one by one.

Of course, he knew what these people were thinking, but he couldn't force it, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Abbas's gaze scanned the hall and finally fixed on Said's body.

Not only are the Persians unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing, even Said, an out-and-out cannibal, wants to hide far away, who wants to let himself have a reputation for fornicating with the rebels?

Even if there was a fornication, Abbas couldn't let him know!

Said quickly lowered his head, not making contact with Abbas's gaze. But Abbas didn't seem to intend to let Saeed go, and said slowly:

"Said, you have been doing business in the East for many years, and you should know some of the Persians in Tocharata, right?"

"This ......"

Said wanted to deny it, but when he glanced up, he suddenly realized an imminent opportunity from the leaping gaze in Abbas's eyes, and changed his words in an instant.

"The villain has been doing business in the East for more than 20 years, and he knows many Persians, but I don't know if there are one or two old acquaintances among the rebels outside the city!"

Abbas nodded:

"Very well! no chance should be missed, now you can send someone to contact, and if you succeed, no matter how much money they want, you will be satisfied, as long as the Persians are willing to retreat!"

These words came out of the mouth of the always tough governor of Khorasan, and many officials who were familiar with Abbas secretly sighed, thinking that Abbas had bowed to reality, and that a desert lion who was once so tough actually has today.

However, after all, the glory of the past is the past, and the key is to be able to survive in the present. As a result, the officials all echoed Abbas's statement, as if the life and death of Mulu City fell on Saeed alone.

Said cleared his throat.

"The villain doesn't dare to promise anything, but he only emphasizes one thing, that is, I, Said, will definitely do my best to complete the task assigned by His Excellency the Governor!"

Abbas was pleased with Said's statement, believing that he was right, and that if he suspected the disloyalty of the man who had spent all his wealth in support of the empire, it would be the greatest insult to man and to himself.

Said was also relieved, and he suddenly felt that if he had been doing something that was not painful or painful, when would he be able to achieve his goal?

After leaving the Governor's Palace, Said was worried again, and his contact with Qin Ying completely depended on the inner line of the Shenwu Army in Mulu City. But the problem is that he is passive, and can only wait for the other party to contact him, but cannot take the initiative to find him.

When he was in distress, the servant brought a pot of boiled tea, and Said, who was upset, waved his hand to let him down, but the servant did not leave, but uttered a secret word.

At first, Said was surprised, but when he came back to his senses, he took it casually, and the other party really whispered to each other again.

This is the code word of his connection with the inside line, except for those who know, no outsiders will know, and the code language is still the Chinese language of the Tang people, and there are only a handful of people in this Mulu City who know how to speak.

Therefore, Said did not doubt it in his heart, and only asked:

"Who sent you?"

It was strange that the servant was a Persian, and it was strange that he was bought, but the ability of the Tang people still impressed him, and he actually infiltrated his mansion so quickly.

"It doesn't matter who sent the villain, what matters is that you can convey your words to the right people!"

Said suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, this servant and the subordinate of the governor's palace should not be together, and even under the control of different people at all.

Thinking of this, he no longer went around in circles to ask the other party's origin, but said bluntly:

"I'm going to contact the Persian generals and buy them back for a lot of money!"

The servant sneered coldly.

"Was that the idea of Abbas's old donkey?"

The words are full of hostility and hatred.

Saeed was not surprised either by the fact that Abbas was mean to the Persians, so it is not surprising that many Persians hated him.

However, the servant's tone was very uncomfortable, and he replied:

"It doesn't matter if it's Abbas's idea, what matters is whether you can bring my words to the right people!"

Unexpectedly, the servant laughed.

"Please rest assured, your Excellency will definitely bring the words, and you will never disappoint your Excellency!

"This ......"

Said pondered for a moment and said a number.

"One hundred thousand dinars, how?"
