After a brief period of distraction, Saeed quickly took the object handed over by Mahdi, the small wooden box that the Caliph had asked him to hand over to Mahdi.

The wooden box looks only the size of a fist, and it is heavy in the hand, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

"Your Highness's Wounded ......"

Said hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Mahdi shook his head.

"It's all a small wound on the skin, and it will heal after a while, remember, you must hand it over to the caliph yourself. I couldn't ask for anything more!"

Mahdi's tone was bitter, but steep and firm.

It seems that even if the prince of the Great Food has become a prisoner, he has not given up his dignity as a prince.

It's just that at this point in the field, is the so-called dignity really that important?

The brief meeting ended, and the captain in charge of the guard loudly ordered Said to leave.

In fact, the purpose of Said's trip has been achieved, and there is no need to stay. He raised his hand and signaled if the wooden box in his hand could be taken out, and the other party nodded disdainfully, it was just a wooden box, and there was no need to be so embarrassed.

Not much, even if the other party stops it, I am afraid it will have no other effect except for a limited humiliation of Mahdi.

It was already the middle of the night when he returned to the tent where the Great Eclipper lived, and Fazler had not yet slept, anxiously waiting for news from Said, when he saw him suddenly return, his face showed a relieved expression, as if he was worried about the safety of his trip, and then asked hurriedly:

"How's that? But, can you confirm it?"

Said nodded heavily, in response.

It's just that Fazler's reaction was a bit big, and he actually fell to the ground.

Said hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Fazler's face turned pale and he replied weakly:

"I'm all right, Prince Mahdi, how did it end up in the hands of the Khazars?"

His Royal Highness the prince was reluctant to say, and the guards of the Tang people around him were closely watching, so the villain did not continue to ask. ”

As he spoke, he took out the wooden box that Mahdi had entrusted him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince asked the villain to return this wooden box to the Caliph!"

Fazler glanced at it, not showing much interest.

He also saw at a glance that the caliph had asked them to pass it on to the Mahdi, and it was also for the purpose of gaining the Mahdi's trust.

Now that Mahdi has become a prisoner of the Tang people, he doesn't care about the inconsequential father-son relationship.

"Well, since Prince Mahdi has entrusted him, keep it well, and when he returns to Ctesiphon, don't forget to return it to the Caliph. ”

To say so much is to tell Saeed that Fazler has no interest in the wooden box and that he can do what Mahdi has asked him to do himself.

"Now that the Tang people have got Mahdi, they will definitely open their mouths, and I am afraid that this peace talk will be ......"

Fazl was worried, hating Mahdi for not keeping his promises and eventually falling into the hands of the Tang and becoming a prisoner, but also confused about what to do.

As a nobleman of the empire and an important official around the caliph, he had never experienced this state of mind, and it was difficult for him to accept it calmly for a while.

Since the appearance of the Tang people, everything has begun to change, and these people from the far east are like a plague, and in just one year, they have turned the empire upside down.

"Mahdi is to blame, not worthy of sympathy, what I am most worried about now is the bottom line of the Tang people, if they open their mouths, we have no confidence to fight for it!"

Instead of following Fazler's words, Said said indignantly:

"If it's a big deal, if you start a war, how long can the Tang people spend in the territory of the empire?"

"How long will it take?"

Fazler's voice was somewhat distorted, and then reverted to its trademark lowness.

"When Mahdi sent troops from Ctesiphon, didn't he also have this kind of argument inside and outside the court? He thought that the Tang people would soon be unable to hold out on an expedition and the supply lines would be long, and they might even collapse without a fight! At that time, how many people thought that Mahdi had picked up a military feat for nothing, and how many people drooled with envy? But now, the result is like this, and who would have thought that it would be like this?

After a long sigh, Fazler waved his hand weakly, signaling that Said could go back to rest, and there was no point in staying, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

The next day, a military official came to Fazler's tent early and informed him that the prime minister had returned, and sometimes met with them indirectly, so that Fazler could prepare and immediately follow him to the Chinese army camp to meet the prime minister.

The attitude is very blunt and unkind.

At this time, Fazler had no time to think about these impractical things, so he summoned Said to discuss it briefly, and then hurried to meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that after arriving at the Chinese army camp, he didn't see the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty on the spot, and waited until the afternoon, when the young prime minister was late.

If it had been in the past, Fazler would have been furious as the messenger of the caliphate and walked away. And now, he can only silently endure this kind of slow treatment that borders on humiliation.

The situation forced Fazler to choose weakness, otherwise, could he really leave without hesitation? He asked himself if he couldn't! In fact, the Tang people had calculated this point and had no fear.

Qin Jin's attitude was quite polite, after meeting, he first asked for warmth, and then apologized again and again for his failure to make an appointment, and said that there are many good things, and today he will finally draw a strong stroke for the harmony and friendship between the two countries.

The official cliché is wonderful, but it sounds like chewing wax and has no practical meaning.

After the opening remarks, Qin Jin actually excused himself to leave with military affairs, and entrusted Zheng Xianli as the envoy of the peace talks, with full responsibility for negotiating with Fazler.

Fazler was speechless, what else could he say? Could he still stop Qin Jin from leaving?

What's more, even if he is willing to splash his face and roll around, people may not save face for him!

Reluctantly accepting the facts, Fazler began to look at Zheng Xianli seriously, this Tang Dynasty general did not treat him kindly, and even revealed an elusive hatred under his cold expression all the time.

Fazler had learned from Said that Zheng Xianli was one of the few survivors of the battle at Talas ten years earlier. In World War I, the Tang Dynasty was completely wiped out, and most of them became prisoners, and only a few people fled back to Anxi with their commander.

It seems that Zheng Xianli has always been obsessed with the big war that year!

Thinking about this, Fazler has mixed feelings.

The so-called great battle in Talas was not even discussed in the court, and the governor of Khorasan won with only a small number of divisions, which was the root of the contempt for the Tang people throughout the empire.
