The next morning, on the streets of Halma, our team walked slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

E Le looked around on the horse and sighed to me: "I think it was here that I met Ling Zun, more than 20 years have passed, and the fetus in the womb of the year has become the deputy marshal of the Kugit Khanate, but the noble son of the year has not been heard from......"

"Alas. I shook my head and said, "You've met my parents, and I don't remember them anymore...... By the way, Ele senior, do you remember where my family lived back then?"

Accompanied by the sound of the blacksmith striking iron, Eule pointed to the garrison commander's residence and said to me, "Lord Chinasi, do you want to find the past? ”

I laughed, I really have a fate with Nain.

But at the same time, a question appeared in my mind: why did my house fall into the hands of Dari Achi, is there any secret in it?

With this question in mind, my team stopped outside the garrison commander's residence. I arranged for the soldiers to go to breakfast, and I took Naren by the hand and entered the garrison commander's residence.

The gardener in the garden saw us and hurriedly stepped forward excitedly and said, "Miss, you are back!"

Naren nodded and smiled.

The gardener shouted, "Tell the master, the young lady is back! The young lady is back! Oh, and the Lord Yan Chi Nasi is also here!"

The door of the house was opened, and Dari Achi appeared in my field of vision.

"Abba!" Naren shouted, running up and hugging Dari Achi.

"Naren, my good daughter! You're back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......" There seemed to be a little tear in Dari'achi's eyes.

When I saw this scene of father and daughter getting together, I was a little stunned. But I kept it to the bottom of my heart and looked at them with a smile.

The father and daughter said a few words and let go. Dari Achi nodded to me and said, "Lord Chinasi, you really brought the little girl back!"

I saw that his eyes were full of praise, and I guess I was a little complacent, glad that I didn't choose the wrong son-in-law.

I saluted him back and said, "Old general, Naren has just returned, let her go and rest." ”

"Yes, yes!" said with a smile, "Look, I'm all confused!

The moment the servant took Naren away, I saw her look back at me.

I smiled, and she went in with confidence.

I know very well that all this is in the eyes of Dari Achi.

Dari Achi really understood, I saw him smile and step forward, take my hand and say, "My lord has been bumpy all the way, you haven't eaten early, right?

"Then I'm not going to be polite to the old general?" I laughed.

"Oh, you're welcome, come on!" said Dari Achi with a smile on his face. In the restaurant in Dariachi, I ate to my heart's content.

"So, Eddie is gone?" asked Dariachi.

"Hmm. "I'm not at all afraid that he'll come home and complain to Griffos." Graves was already fighting on two fronts, Salander to the east and Svadia to the north. Although Salander was defeated, King Haraus is not a fuel-efficient lamp, hehe, our two countries can't fight for a while, if they do, the khanate has already allied with Svadia, it is equivalent to Svadia's ally, and the three kingdoms deal with Rhodok, Griffos is not a fool, he will not do this. ”

"Well, that's true. "But what about the dowry?"

"That's easy!" I said, "and tell Count Kester that those dowries have been snatched away by the scoundrel Chenas......!

A smile appeared on Dariachi's old face.

"In this way, the old general, you won't be difficult to behave, I have already offended their family, and I don't care about offending them again. I said.

Dari Achi nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Gao Ming! My lord, you are indeed amazing! Hehe, God bless the old man, let me find such a good son-in-law...... Hahaha......"

I laughed with Dari Achi.

"Ahem......" I stopped laughing, "old general, I have to go back to work." ”

"Well, national affairs are the most important!" Dari Achi nodded and said, "The old man hopes that the adults can build a city as soon as possible!"

I nodded and said with a smile: "Old General, although you have designed the house beautifully, I should let Naren be the mistress of the town!"

"Hehe, that's right. "But this house is not designed by an old man, I am a martial artist, how can I have this ability." This house used to be deserted, and after I came to serve as the commander of the garrison, I took a fancy to this ownerless house and moved in. ”

"Oh, then you are really blessed! Juniors say goodbye! You're welcome, you don't have to send it!" I said.

But Dariach still sent me to the door.

I said goodbye to Dariacchi and left my parents' house. I inquired around the neighborhood and verified Dariachi's words.

I looked at the Roman and Islamic buildings from afar, thinking about how tasteful my parents were.

With these feelings, I went to the prison of Halma, where the Khan had given me a task to take out the Sultan of Hakim. A few days ago, Chief Nuham of Saland, as the head of the Salander delegation, came to the army of Saiga Khan to negotiate peace. As a sign of sincerity, the khan decided to release the Sultan of Hakim.

I walked down the moldy spiral staircase of Halma Prison and into Sultan Hakim's room.

I walked into the room and saw two prison guards who had already helped Sultan Hakim pack his things.

I bowed and said, "Hello, dear Sultan. ”

"Hello, Na Yan Chi Nasi. Hakim Sultan gracefully replied.

"Congratulations, you're free today!" I said.

"Thank you for your congratulations!" Sultan Hakim smiled, "but I also know that this means a large war reparation. ”

"Huh. I also smiled and said, "Your people are rich and rich, and that little indemnity is nothing to your country, right?"

"Perhaps, may Allah bless Salander with good weather and peace in the country. Hakim Sultan said.

I secretly thought it was funny. The Salander Sultanate is located in the desert, and in recent years, there have been frequent wars, which is really not a national peace and security. However, the Sultanate of Salander maintained a rich standard of living in the desert country due to its trade with the southwestern island nation of Dabaran and the continent of Charlonay in the east. The two southern kingdoms of Salander and Rhodok were the two richest countries in Calradia, followed by the old power of Svadia, the Nord kingdom with a strong shipbuilding industry, and the khanate and the Virgia kingdom were notoriously poor on the mainland. However, since the establishment of Saiga Khan, he has not focused on foreign wars, but on economic development, and over the years, the economic power of the Kugit Khanate has increased greatly.

We chatted as we walked out of the prison.

"Did you know?" said Sultan al-Hakim, "I used to want to be a poet, but the tyranny of the empire made me take up the sword and become a warrior in the defense of Allah." But the harsh conditions of Halma Prison evoked poetry in me, and I thought that when I returned to Sharitz, I would write something. ”

"Speak from the heart. I laughed, "The monarchs of Calradia are among the most knowledgeable of you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" said Sultan al-Hakim, "but my sister became a true poet, in a sense, she fulfilled my wishes for me and lived the life I wanted. "The moon falls in the waters of the lake, and the heart falls in the sea of suffering. Hakim Sultan said, "I like this poem of hers the most, and I have a book of poems published for her, and I will send someone to give you a copy." ”

"Thank you very much!" I said.

"You're welcome. Hakim Sultan said, "Unfortunately, I haven't seen her for a long time. It's been 22 years, I miss her all the time, I sent people around to investigate, but there is no news of her. ”

"This ......"

"Her name is Soraya, and in the name of Allah, she is an unusual woman. Hakim Sultan began to reminisce about the past, "Even with her veil, her walnut eyes captivated many Salander men, who, in defiance of Allah's admonitions, brazenly expressed their love for her and wrote poems in praise of her, even though Allah should forbid them to write such hymns." Speaking of her eyes, they are very similar to those of your Excellency, so ah, when I see you, I can't help but think of my sister. ”

I listened silently to what Sultan Hakim had to say.

"Soraya is a maverick woman who wears only a thin veil, sometimes not at all, revealing her velvety black hair in the sun, and she also likes to wear her hair in a nice tulip-like bun. Some people say that she does not follow the teachings of the prophets, and is a **. Also, she planted all kinds of flowers in her house, and some people said that they were the flowers of the devil. It embarrassed me and made me angry, and when I was not a sultan, I used to fight duels with those who ruined her reputation, but I went home and persuaded her. Oh Allah, guess what she said? She said: 'Allah has given man the right to live and the right to pursue beauty. It is a bunch of ill-intentioned ascetic erectors who misinterpret the precepts of Allah. I used to quarrel with her about these things. Later, she gradually distanced herself from me.

"Later, when I became the Sultan of Salander, no one dared to criticize Soraya. However, our quarrels did not stop with the discussion decreasing. She was a staunch opponent of the dogmatism of the mullahs (in Arabic, meaning imams). To be honest, I also think that sometimes these bearded mullahs are too harsh. Because in my heart, those formal expressions of devotion to Allah are no more important than the true belief in Allah in my heart. For me, the prosperity of Salander is the most important thing. But I am the Sultan, and I have to show an attitude in order to convince the people, and one day Soraya said to me in a heartbroken heart, 'I hate you, brother!' and I was heartbroken.

"Twenty-two years ago on the night of Yalda, oh, what you call the winter solstice, Soraya told me the astonishing news that she was going to marry a Kujitte, a heretic. I pleaded with her, counseled her, commanded her, intimidated her, tried to stop her marriage, but to no avail. Early the next morning, she left me. But time has passed, and sometimes I'm actually quite happy for her. Did you know that Yalta Night is the first night of the month of Hijri and the first night of winter, and the longest night? The people of Salander say that the stars and moon are not light in Yalda, and lovers endure the darkness all night, waiting for the morning sun to be born. At this time, Soraya went to pursue her rising sun. It's very poetic, and for her, it's the most beautiful ending. I can only pray to Allah and not to blame her. ”

My face turned pale as I listened. I couldn't see my face, but I could already feel the blood draining from my face.

"Oh, shall I have the privilege of learning of her deeds and reading her poems?" I asked.

The Sultan was silent for a long time, and then said: "I remember one time she said to me: 'Brother, I love you and hate you! I gotta say, she's a wise man. And you, dear Yan Chi Nasi, you are also a wise man! If I guessed correctly, you are a person who always thinks about yourself, such a person is rare. As far as I know, you don't have a high level of education, but it's rare to be able to think spontaneously about life. ”

In the words of Hakim Sultan!

I was a little afraid to talk to him.

"You're not a purebred Kujit, are you?" said Hakim Sultan, looking around and seeing that there was no one around, "Your face has a distinctly Salandan character, and perhaps your mother is a Salander, so why don't you think more about your mother's homeland?"

It's amazing!

But I said coldly: "I don't remember my mother." All I remember is that the arrows of the Salanders once pierced my shoulder, the blades of the Saland's defenders once cut my arm, and the Maculuk scimitars almost knocked my head off!"

"Your language is very rhythmic!" said Sultan al-Hakim, unfazed, and diverted the subject.
