Chapter 567: Threatened
When Zhao Ziliang saw Princess Hera say this, he was speechless for a while, so he could only urge in the middle of the night: "Your Highness, it's late at night, Your Highness should go back to the camp tent to rest as soon as possible, and the end will send His Highness down!" β
But Princess Hera said in stumbling unfamiliar Chinese: "I can't sleep, if the general is fine, accompany me for a walk by the river!" β
If these words were said by a Han person, Zhao Ziliang would not care at all, but from the mouth of Princess Hera, who had just left the Great Food Country for less than a month, it really scared him, what kind of language talent does it take to learn to speak in simple Chinese within a month?
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's stunned appearance, Princess Hera smiled and said, "Is the general surprised that I can speak in Chinese so soon?" Actually, I know a lot of languages, I am fluent in six languages, and I can also have simple conversations in five languages! β
Mastery of six? This made Zhao Ziliang gasp! What is Mastery? Even as a Tang Dynasty person, not all learned Tang Dynasty scholars can say that they are proficient in Chinese, only literary masters who have studied Chinese language and ancient literature and have deep insights can say that they are proficient in Chinese, and as for others, they can only be regarded as proficient in Chinese at most.

Zhao Ziliang said: "I didn't expect His Highness's language talent to be so strong, the last general will admire!" Since His Highness wants to go again, for the sake of His Highness's safety, the last general will accompany His Highness on a trip! β
"That's good! Let's go! Princess Hera was obviously suffocated during this time, sitting in the carriage all day, seeing nothing but yellow sand all day long, and now she had the opportunity to come out for a walk, she seemed a little excited, and she turned back and instructed the maid who followed as she walked: "Follow behind, don't get too close!" β
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhao Ziliang's personal soldiers consciously stayed away and walked with Princess Hera's maids.
Princess Hera opened her arms as she walked, took a big gulp of fresh air, turned her head to look at Zhao Ziliang who was following behind her and asked, "General Zhao, have you ever been to the Great Food Country?" β
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "No, this is my first time going to the Great Food Country, in fact, I really want to go to Damascus and Constantinople to see what those two places are like now!" β
Princess Hera became interested and asked, "Do you know about Damascus and Constantinople?" β
Zhao Ziliang smiled: "Of course, Damascus is your national capital!" It is said that the first caliphs of your hands set out from Mecca to start their missions, so Mecca is your holy place, right? Also, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. It is the largest and most prosperous city in the West."
Princess Hera was quite impressed by Zhao Ziliang at this time, stared at Zhao Ziliang and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable." The Byzantines always like to call themselves the Eastern Roman Empire, but in fact they are nothing, just putting gold on their faces, the Roman Empire has long been extinct for more than 400 years, and for more than 200 years, the Byzantines have changed emperors like horses, in their country, there are slaves everywhere, and such a country can still exist for so long! β
Zhao Ziliang asked, "Isn't there no slave in the Great Food Country?" β
"We only treat foreigners as slaves after they are captured, and we never let our own people become slaves!"
Zhao Ziliang didn't know this, and asked unconsciously: "Oh, is it?" We don't have slaves in Datang, and although we also have human trafficking in Datang, the master's family can't kill and take away the people."
Hera paused and said, "When I was very young, I heard that Constantinople in Byzantium was very prosperous, but I never had the opportunity to go there, and you know that I am a princess, and I can't go out casually, or even leave the palace. On several occasions the armies of our Great Food Nation reached Constantinople, but each time they were defeated by the Byzantines in the navy."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Does Your Highness care about politics and the military?" β
"Of course, as a member of the royal family, if you don't care about politics and military, it is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of others, and sometimes you can't die if you want to, do you know what it's like?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and shook his head, "Although I don't know how this feels, I can understand that probably people in the royal family are born with strong political sensitivity****!" β
When he said these words, Zhao Ziliang looked at Princess Hera with a different look in his eyes, and he was also wary of her in his heart.
These people from the royal family are naturally sensitive to politics, almost all of them have a perverted desire to control power, and they will do everything they can to seize power to protect themselves and enslave others.
Zhao Ziliang guessed that Princess Hera was probably a victim of a power struggle when she was married to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Great Food Kingdom would not marry her to the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be said that the Royal Family of the Great Food Dynasty bet on her as a bet on the Tang Dynasty, and also prepared a back road for themselves, if the Umayyad Dynasty was destroyed by the rebels, the royal family members could also find a way to escape to the East to seek protection under the Tang Empire.
This woman is very beautiful and very sultry, although Zhao Ziliang has never seen her true face, but this does not prevent him from judging whether a woman is beautiful or not, maybe only by seeing her appearance with his own eyes can he know how beautiful she is.
Maybe Hera thought that Zhao Ziliang was an insignificant person, so she didn't guard against him, she said her thoughts: "Actually, I don't feel like marrying into the Tang Dynasty, because it's too far away, and I don't know if life there will adapt to me!" I am a victim, the rebel offensive is too fierce, and our army is tired after many years of foreign warfare, the rebels suddenly attacked, the soldiers of the army did not want to fight them, so the officers and troops were defeated again and again, by now more than half of the country has fallen into the hands of the rebels, there are people in the palace who think that we are looking for a strong ally who can provide us with shelter and retreat at a critical moment, since we have been at war with the Byzantines for many years, the Byzantines were excluded in the first place, In the end, my father chose Datang, he thinks that Datang is the most powerful country except for the Great Food Country, my stepmother thinks that if she marries me to the prince of Datang, after the current emperor of Datang dies, I can become the queen, if the Umayyad Dynasty is not over at that time, they at least have a way to live, this is how I was married, in fact, my stepmother is very unpleasant to my eyes, has always wanted to rectify me, and now she finally found a chance! β
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your father has little confidence in resisting the rebels' attack, otherwise he would not agree to your stepmother's method." Your stepmother, on the other hand, would not have suggested to your father that she marry you to the prince of our dynasty if she had not had faith in destroying the rebels, because if in the end the rebels did destroy the Umayyad dynasty, she would have become a lost dog and would seek refuge from you. But this is not a good thing for you, because when you marry into our dynasty, you will be able to stay away from the war, and perhaps your father and stepmother may indeed seek refuge in you in the future."
Hera pondered Zhao Ziliang's words for a while, and felt that there was some truth in breaking it, obviously, she was not a sentimental person, but a very rational person, who did not decide her behavior according to her own preferences, she nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, if the rebels really succeed in the end, they will go to Datang to avoid trouble, and then my stepmother will look at my face." Hmph, when that day comes, I'll definitely let her remember how she treated me in the first place! β
Zhao Ziliang really wanted to persuade her, they were all family, why should he remember this hatred, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any friendship with her, and it was completely thankless to persuade her in his own identity, so he kept silent.
Seeing that Zhao Ziliang didn't say anything, Hera asked, "Why don't you speak?" β
"What does Your Highness want the Admiral to say?"
"Do you think I should take revenge on her?"
"The last general doesn't dare to give any advice to His Highness, in the last general's thinking, there is only obedience!"
Hera looked at Zhao Ziliang, suddenly stopped, turned to face Zhao Ziliang, and said: "I know your performance under Sehran City, you are a military general who is very good at fighting, and he is very powerful, I am now the concubine of the prince of Tang State, but I have no available people, are you willing to be loyal to me?" If you want, when I get to Chang'an, I can find a way to transfer you from the frontier to the capital, and you can also be promoted! β
Zhao Ziliang was stunned, and said in his heart that this is how the big cannibals recruit talents and henchmen? This woman is also a little too naΓ―ve in this regard, right? You didn't give me any benefits, you just drew me a pie, and you want me to do it with you with my head? If Lao Tzu promises you, I don't know how Lao Tzu will die in the future!
Zhao Ziliang immediately classified Hera as a person with considerable ambitions, but extremely mediocre talents and means.
Hera saw him and asked, "Are you hesitating?" Do you think I'm not worthy of your allegiance? Isn't my beauty worthy of your allegiance? β
"Ahem, Your Highness, you are masked, I have never seen your appearance, how do I know what you look like?"
Princess Hera was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised her hand, Zhao Ziliang sighed in his heart, and wanted to stop it, but it was too late, the white face towel was removed, and a flawless, extremely beautiful face appeared in front of her, the facial features on this woman's face have no shortcomings, the position is just right, and it is very distinctive, if a woman's appearance is perfect, it is not necessarily the best, only in the case of extreme beauty has unique characteristics, which is the most memorable and fascinating.
Zhao Ziliang thought that he was not a beautiful person, but when he saw this woman's face, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, and his blood pressure also increased instantly, this face was too beautiful, she was much more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, such a woman was not like the world, but from heaven!
"Now that you have seen my face, it is an unpardonable sin in our Great Food Country! If I tell the crown prince of the Tang Kingdom, my husband, do you know what the consequences are? β
was threatened, the muscles on Zhao Ziliang's face trembled, he took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness, you may not know the current situation of our country, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suppressed to death by the ministers, in order not to let the emperor suspect that he had the intention of usurping the throne, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs, so even if you tell the prince about this, it is impossible for him to do anything to me now, and with my current official position, it is not that he can move if he wants to!"
