Cai Lang and Zhao Kuang squeezed in front of a storyteller's stall, dressed in an old striped Arabic robe, sitting on a colorful Persian carpet, gesturing passionately, while telling the story of Sinbad's sailing adventures. The Arabs are a business-savvy people, the Prophet once said, "In the Hereafter, the honest merchant is with the saints", and the wealth of a lifetime obtained through seafaring and trading can be called the "Great Dream", so the story of Sinbad's voyage attracted a large number of listeners. Whenever the old man said that Sinbad was in great danger, and the hearts of the listeners were hanging, the old man would make an extremely pious expression, press his hand on the Qur'an, and pray "Allah's blessing" or "Thank Allah" with Sinbad, the character in the story, while the audience next to him was infected by him, and also muttered and listened to it with fascination. This old man tells stories in the simplest language of the peddler's pawn, and although Zhao Kuang, the tenth master, only understands five or six plots, he is also relished.

The story of Sinbad's sailing adventures was told by Wu Yingying to Cai Lang, he read Chinese classics when he was young, and after the country was ruined, there was a period of extreme depression, Wu Yingying told him the story of Sinbad's seven voyages, telling him that his strength is sometimes exhausted, but as long as he still has a breath, he must fight to the end, and maybe the turning point is at the last moment. Cai Lang can understand Persian, while listening to the old man's storytelling, he recalled that when he went up from the north and south of the Yangtze River, he slept in the open all the way, lacked supplies, and had to guard against the Song people's Xiang army in the prefecture and county to find out the tracks, and when he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, the children of Jiangnan were almost lost more than half. During the thousands of miles of battle, Wu Yingying kept him by his side, and also enlightened his mind, so that he should not pretend to be a nobleman of the country. "The level of the story told by the master is much worse than that of this old man, but. Cai Lang sighed secretly, and a feeling of admiration surged in his heart.

Cai Lang looked around, his gaze resting on a girl, her slender figure, her face was covered behind a veil, under her slender eyebrows, a pair of eyes were clear enough to illuminate everything around her. She listened intently to the storyteller telling the story, and the girl was followed by a maid, also wearing a veil, but she looked at the people around her cautiously, and the two of them had noble temperaments, and the ordinary people next to them did not dare to approach. Cai Lang wanted to listen to this storytelling stall for a while and then left, but when he saw this beautiful and mysterious girl, he just wanted to stay by her side for a while, and he couldn't take a step away.

At this time, just as the storyteller was talking about Sinbad's second voyage in distress, and he was out of desperation by tying himself to the condor's legs, but fell into the valley where the snake was entrenched, Cai Lang saw that the girl's eyes were full of worry, and his heart moved, moved closer, and whispered: "The vulture will take him out of the valley." His voice happened to be heard by the girl, the girl's eyebrows moved slightly, still just listening to the old man's story, but the maid next to her turned her head and glanced at him fiercely, Cai Lang smiled at her slightly, the maid saw Cai Lang was handsome and extraordinary, her eyes moved slightly, and she also turned her face. After a while, the storyteller told me that the natives of the valley had thrown the slaughtered sheep into the valley in order to obtain diamonds, and Sinbad hid under the sheep and escaped with the help of the eagle that grabbed the meat. The girl seemed to remember Cai Lang's spoilers, and her eyebrows trembled slightly, but she still didn't look at him.

After a while, the old storyteller told him about Sinbad's third voyage and fell into the lair of the giant monster, and the ugly giant had to roast one of Sinbad's companions every day, and Cai Lang said softly: "They will work together to kill the troll and escape on a raft." The girl didn't hear it, and after that, Cai Lang spoiled him several times, and the veiled girl and the maid ignored him, until the old man who told the story took the stall, and the girl looked back at him deeply before leaving.

Cai Lang watched the figures of her master and maid disappear into the crowd, and was quite disappointed in his heart, and was about to beckon Zhao Kuang to leave. Suddenly, a young servant with a delicate face and a splendid dress came over, saluted, and said, "Childe, my master has something to say to you, come with me." Cai Lang followed the servant's finger and saw a carriage stop next to the square, and from the window of the carriage it was faintly visible that the maid was facing this direction, he hesitated for a moment, and then followed the servant.

"Sir, do you know the whole story of Sinbad's Voyage?" Cai Lang straightened up. The girl inside seemed to be hesitating, and finally said: "Sir, can you be a guest at the humble house and tell me this story?" Cai Lang was overjoyed, nodded immediately, and said: "My companion is still waiting behind, and let me explain." The maid smiled and said, "It's okay, it's getting late today, and tomorrow morning my master will send a carriage to pick up my husband, I don't know where my husband lives?" Cai Lang explained to her where he lived, and the girl in the carriage let out a soft "oh" and watched their carriage slowly leave.

"Captain Cai, it's okay," a pair of big hands slapped Cai Lang's shoulder, "I can't see that you still have such means, this journey, among the brothers, your Yanfu is the largest." Zhao Kuang praised in Cai Lang's ear. Cai Lang was suddenly lost, what he did just now was very different from his usual style, and it was still like a dream.

Zhang Zhongyao listened to Zhao Kuangyu's report on Cai Lang's matter, and put down his pen and pondered for a long time. To be sure, he admired the young man, but he had to be wary of him. Cai Lang is the son of Wu Yingying's old master, and after the Tang Dynasty, especially Wu Yingying's once wanted to give up the country to Cai Yu, Zhang Zhongyao, Chase and other henchmen were all apprehensive. At present, although the lord is in full bloom and does not have no heirs to inherit the throne, Cai Lang is too good, which is not appropriate. With this envoy, Zhang Zhongyao deliberately asked Cai Lang out, that is, he wanted to use the method of rising and descending secretly to transfer him out of the army, and then become a civilian official who received envoys from all over the world. Great Xia founded the country with soldiers, if he has no foundation in the army, he has great ability, and he can't make any waves. "It's also a good thing that young people are lustful and admire Shaoai," Zhang Zhongyao thought with relief, unaware that he was only in his early thirties, "If he sleeps at night, it will make people unable to relax." ”

The next morning, in the Eternal Palace on the outskirts of Baghdad, tall trees and shrubs smelled fragrant, the sun shone through the shade of the trees with a little beating flare, canaries, nightingales, mountain birds, turtledoves, partridges and other birds sang, and Sangludro, the daughter of Adulyard Dawlai, the monarch of the Baiyi dynasty and king of kings, drew her eyebrows and sighed softly in the mirror. "Your Majesty is so ruthless as to let you marry that cowardly old man. The maid Doyad combed her hair with indignation. Adulyadej al-Daulai was the best king of the two river valleys, he controlled Baghdad, caliph al-Ta'il became a puppet, Aduly'd al-Daulai had married Ta'yer's daughter, and planned to marry Sanrudra to the caliph and make his grandson the next caliph.
