The 300,000 dinars were shipped out of the city, and the powerful people in the city waited anxiously for good news from outside the city, but Abbas found that Saeed had been sullen and worried.

"Said, all the troubles are about to be solved, why are you still sullen?"

Said didn't want to speak, he just felt that Abbas was indeed an old and stupid donkey, could he still expect to cause trouble for others, and after being coerced again, he could still give them a chance according to the original offer?

It's naïve, but maybe it's the people in the game who are blinded by wishful thinking.

"Brother Abbas, as I have always said before, behind the Persians are the Tang people, and the Tang people are not easy to fool, since they have the ability to break through Mulu City, but suddenly withdraw, is it just a plot to these 300,000 dinars?"

"This ......"

Abbas paused for a moment, he didn't expect Said to be so pessimistic, in his opinion, whether it was a Tang or a Persian, 300,000 dinars was a temptation that was difficult to refuse. Moreover, last night's critical situation and the sudden relief of the siege are probably not as simple as they seem.

According to common sense, since they had already attacked the city and suddenly withdrew, there was only one reasonable explanation, that is, they had a reason to withdraw.

At this time, give the Persians a step at the right time, and they will most likely accept it when they see it.

Many of the Great Cannibals share the same sentiment as Abbas, and they have one last straw for life, and that is Ayi and Iprahim, who have been leading their troops all along.

As long as either of the two of them led the troops back, the Persian soldiers outside the city were afraid that they would be in great trouble.

At the end of the day, Abbas has high expectations for these two to return.

Said opened his mouth, but did not say anything to refute it, only by teaching the dim-witted Abbas a lesson from the facts could the stupid old donkey know that it hurts.

Looking at Said's heavy back, Abbas smiled bitterly and shook his head, although Said has character, courage, and ability, but he thinks too much when he encounters things, and his indecision may also come from the sequelae of this person's years of business.

It seems that we have to find an opportunity to reason with him and make him understand that on the battlefield, many times it is necessary to take risks and make decisions.

By the end of the night, the expected withdrawal had not yet taken place, and the Great Cannibals were waiting for a series of explosions that they were all too familiar with, followed by a flurry of earth and rock, and the collapse of the walls.

Today, the walls of Mulu City are riddled with holes, and it is almost impossible to find a few large sections of the complete city wall.

Abbas flew into a rage and scolded the Persians for being dogs.

"These people don't withdraw their troops after receiving money, are they taking me for a fool?"

The tragic truth struck Abbas on the head like a stick, and made him wonder if he was fit to be the governor of Khorasan again.

Bad decision-making can ruin everything at once.

Three hundred thousand dinars, so much money, in addition to what was already in the treasury, nearly two hundred thousand were looted from the families of the Persian giants and magnates.

It's just gone, and in exchange for a thick humiliation, how can people be willing?

However, even if he was unwilling, Abbas could only swallow the bitter water in his stomach, saying that listening to his staff would only embarrass him even more.

"Brother Said!"

It occurred to him that Said, who had been proposing differently from the outset, and who, in fact, had all the worst consequences of his objections.

Summoning Said to the Governor's Palace, he began to pour out his depression.

Strange as it may seem, Abbas was ashamed to pour out his frustration to his staff, and felt a confidant of the businessman alone.

Said's eyes were slightly closed, he was already extremely disappointed in this old stupid donkey, and during this time, somehow, he had a little sympathy for these big cannibals in Mulu City.

However, he can recognize the reality clearly, and I am afraid that the mission he carries will not be able to get rid of in this life, but once he succeeds, the reward will be a thousand times that of his efforts.

With this thought, Saeed's sympathy for Abbas vanished.

Now that Abbas finally realized his previous stupidity, it was too late, and all they could do was wait, waiting for the Tang people's reaction.

At this point, Abbas also insisted that the Tang were not absolutely dominant, and that the Persians were the first enemy he faced.

"Your Excellency, the Persians have sent another messenger!"

"What did you send an emissary for?"

"Ask for money!"

Hearing this, Abbas was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Said, with an expression on his face that was indeed the case.

It turned out that they didn't withdraw their troops, probably because they wanted to extort more money.

"Brother Said, how do you deal with it now?"

Having had such experience that Abbas had absolute confidence in Said's judgment and ability, he was the first to ask him for advice.

Said thought for a while and said:

"Brother Abbas, the Tang people behind the Persians are extremely greedy, this time they have a mouthful, if they don't extort a sum of money fiercely, I'm afraid they won't give up!"

As Said's prediction, the Persians again offered the amount of 300,000 dinars.

Abbas was at a loss, but the other party kept threatening to attack the city, and the hearts of the soldiers in the city were on the verge of collapse under the coercion again and again, and Abbas could only accept this condition after thinking hard.

It takes time to get this money together, and it can be indirectly delayed waiting for either Ayi or Iprasin to return.

Even if they did not return, they could take a risk, hoping that the Persians would be true to their word and withdraw their troops as promised after receiving the money.

But where does the money come from?

Said came up with the idea of calling on the city's merchants to donate money and selling the property of the Doge's Palace, including Abbas's personal property.

When the proclamation of the Governor's Palace was issued, the result was nothing but anger for Abbas.

There was not a single one who called for donations, and almost all the big businessmen claimed that they had no money left at home.

However, the rare treasure that Abbas sold was sold out in a single day.

"Is this a lack of money?

However, Abbas also had no choice, and when he was rewarded for collecting money, he did not find any excess property in many large merchants. Presumably this time too.

Said offered his plan at the right time.

"There is a saying in the Tang people that 'a leaf blinds the eyes', why don't the Abbas brothers start with the giant merchants who buy rare treasures, these people say that they have no money, but where does the money come from to buy rare treasures?"
