Chapter 365: Feast

Sang Rudra did not answer, only frowned, and Doyad added: "That young man who can tell stories is very nice, handsome, gentle, strong, and bold. If that bad old man had half of him, I'd be thankful. As a maid, seeing that the princess was going to marry the old man who was in name only, and was said to have a violent temper, Doyad was also full of displeasure, "How nice it would be if the princess married that young man." "Don't talk about it. ”

A flush appeared on Sang Rudro's face, and he stopped the talkative maid from arranging it further, and said softly, "Doyad, if we were sisters, how nice it would be. After marrying the caliph, I can't just go out, you can come to the Golden Gate Palace often, and I'll tell you stories. She was very fond of listening to all kinds of folk tales, and would sort out all the stories she had heard among the people, and she was very sad at the thought of living in seclusion in the court of the Caliph in the company of an old man who was about to die.

"No," quipped Doyad, "Your Highness probably wants the young man to tell you a story." By the way, he's almost there. She made a prayer gesture with both hands, "The young man is a messenger from the East, and if he were a prince, the princess would be able to persuade your majesty not to marry you to the old man." I also followed the princess to the East to see if the mountains and fields of China were full of tea trees and silkworms that could weave clothes. By the way, I heard that Chinese women's hair is exposed, and several combs are inserted on their heads at the same time, and when they get there, the princess's appearance must be more beautiful. Sang Luzhuo was also used to her jokes, and said, "Stop talking about these Arabian Nights." Then the servant told him that the guests whom the princess had invited to tell the story were already waiting in the garden, and Sanrudra and Doyad put on their veils and went out to listen to him continue the story which he had not finished the day.

Cai Lang was standing there, and even Doyad, who was standing beside Sang Luzhuo, felt the thick burning in his eyes, he seemed to be at a loss, but there was no place in his body that did not show that this was a young man who had fallen in love, and was about to confide his love to his lover.

At the first sight of the young man waiting in the garden, Sanrudro's forehead lowered, and his eyes only saw his own heaving chest, "O Allah, he must have fallen for the devil." Her face was hot, her heart was throbbing, and she said, "Allah forgive, have I fallen for the devil?" and felt a dull pain in her chest. After obtaining Sang Luzhuo's permission, Cai Lang began to tell stories about other experiences of Sinbad's voyage, but the people who spoke it were with an inexplicable excitement, and the listeners were often distracted.

In the evening, when Cai Lang wanted to take his leave, Sang Luzhuo asked him to come back the next day to tell other stories, and Cai Lang did not hesitate to agree to come to this mansion to visit the veiled girl. By the next day, he had already told the stories of Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai, and Hua Mulan joining the army in the Central Plains. Zhang Zhongyao listened to the sergeant's report on Cai Lang's whereabouts, he just smiled and didn't care, and even joked at him from time to time, obviously secretly encouraging, Cai Lang didn't blame Shangguan when he saw it, and he was more calm in his heart, he didn't know that the carriage that picked him up was the famous Eternal Palace, and he planned to inquire about the family history of the Persian girl first, and then ask which of the Persians to come to the door to ask for relatives on his behalf.

On the third day, Zhang Zhongyao went to the Eternal Palace to meet the true king of Baghdad, Adulyj Dawlai, and walked through the luxurious courtyard to the magnificent and magnificent palace, where the breeze brought the strong smell of delicious food, and the melodious and melodious silk and bamboo orchestral music and graceful singing came from the backyard, which was really heavenly. Zhang Zhongyao didn't notice that Cai Lang had a somewhat complicated expression, and raised his glass to the king of kings, Adulyard Dawlai, and said, "On behalf of the great king of Xia in the East, I wish Your Majesty a long and blessed life. ”

Adulyadej S. Dawlai drank the wine in the cup with a smile, and looked down, in the majestic and magnificent hall, on the left side sat the Oriental mission, on the right side sat the favored courtiers, the banquet was full of all kinds of rare and exotic fruits, and the graceful maids who came to their own Duan kept sending mellow wine and delicacies from the mountains and seas, and outside the hall corridor, the morning breeze with the fragrant fragrance of various flowers and herbs slowly blew, which was intoxicating, and he remembered an old incident of the Wu Nian that the attendant Ebu had reported to him, and his heart was even more proud, such a prosperous scene could almost be compared with the period of the reign of the wisest caliph。

"Messenger of the East, on my behalf, greets your magnanimous and merciful monarch. I have prepared a gift of fifty camels, and I ask you to bring them back to him. "Aduaid Dawlai, Zhang Zhongyao has long understood who is more worthy of wooing between Emperor Xian of Han and Cao Cao, and he is quite familiar with the current affairs and dedicates most of the gifts prepared for the caliph to Aduaid Dalai, who holds real power, which makes him very happy.

"As for the decree that the Eastern monarch wants the caliph to issue a pardon recognizing him as the protector of ***, and that the Black Khanate's war in the East is not a war for faith, I am afraid that this will have to wait for the caliph and the religious elders to discuss it more. Aduly's eyes flickered, he clearly knew that compared with these two pardons, the gift of fifty camels was just as light as a feather, and the surrounding courtiers were all in an uproar, knowing that the country of the East was a place where infidels lived, but he didn't expect that the monarch of the East would also be the protector of ***, is the Black Khanate really so powerful? Many people of insight quietly frowned, the Great Food Empire is a situation where the princes are divided, although the Baiyi Dynasty currently controls Baghdad, but the other princes are too powerful, and they may reverse the situation at any time.

Zhang Zhongyao was confident, and said loudly: "My monarch asks me to bring a personal message to the great king of kings, can you please take a break from idle things." His words caused an even greater sensation among the courtiers, this eastern mission is too mysterious, the monarch of the Xia Kingdom and the king of kings have no personal relationship, how can there be a private message to him.

Adulyard Daure frowned and thought for a moment, and also wanted to hear what the envoy from the east wanted to say, so he waved his hand to let the courtiers retreat first, looked at Zhang Zhongyao and said, "I hope your message can properly explain the reason." Zhang Zhongyao's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "My sovereign sent me to the message of the king of kings is that the important thing in this trip to your country is not a matter of faith, but a question of the Turks, and my sovereign hopes to join forces with the great king of kings to suppress the rising Turks." He feared that there would be a large number of Turkic dignitaries in Baghdad's court and courtiers, so he asked Adulyard Daurai to retreat under the pretense of Wu Hero.

"In the territory of the Great Eclipse, the Black Khan, the Ghaznavids, and the Seljuks in the Samanid kingdom are all Turkic armies, and their power is growing stronger, only your kingdom and the Samanid dynasty are ruled by the Persians, although the king of kings is trying to govern, and the Samanid dynasty is declining day by day, and sooner or later the land will be divided by the Seljuks, the Black Khan, and the Ghaznavid dynasty, and at that time, your country will be surrounded by a semi-ring of states established by the Turks, and the situation is extremely dangerous. Zhang Zhongyao saw that Aduly Dawlai was listening to his eloquent conversation, and his heart was full of admiration for Wu Yingying, "What my monarch means, instead of letting the blood of *** flow in vain for the looting Turks, let us join hands and fight against the rising Turks." ”

Adulyard Daulai looked at Zhang Zhongyao with a complicated expression, I have to say that his words are right to his heart, after the Great Food Empire was divided, the Persians and Turks have been fighting for the dominance of the empire, and now in addition to the Baiyi Dynasty that controls Baghdad, it is still a little angry, and there are more barbaric and warlike Turks everywhere, if the Seljuks, the Black Khan Dynasty and the Ghaznavid Dynasty divide the territory of the Samanid Dynasty, Baghdad and the Baiyi Dynasty are in the Seljuks, the Ghaznavid Dynasty, the Black Khan Dynasty These Turks *** Surrounded by the kingdom, the West is the Byzantine Empire, the old enemy of the Great Food Country. The saying that people who are not of my race will have different hearts is not only popular in China.

"Messenger, your monarch is not only a lion, but also a fox. "Let me think about it a few more days." He waved his hand to let Zhang Zhongyao and the others retreat, and sat quietly in the banquet alone.
