Chapter 140: Arabian Rich and Handsome Gives Gold (Happy New Year to All)
The gates of the city were opened, and al-Mansur measured the height of the opening, and ordered the men to dismount from their camels and horses, and to lead them into the city.
Li Siye stood on the main road to greet them, his face was very serious, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, the team brought out was so arrogant, and the reward of five hundred catties of gold was a real hammer.
Mansur walked up to Li Siye, hugged his chest and saluted: "Li Envoy, I have come to fulfill my promise, five hundred catties of gold have been delivered, please check it." ”
He raised his arm and waved, "Bring things up." ”
Four black-clothed warriors came to Li Siye with a long stick carrying a large gold-inlaid mahogany box, bent down to put down the box, and smashed dust on the hard brown soil.
One person stepped forward to open the copper lock on it and lifted the lid of the box, and the golden light immediately blinded Li Siye's eyes, and even his body was slightly staggering, but fortunately he had good concentration and was not knocked down by the gold.
In the box were stacked pieces of gold cakes, each three inches in diameter and one inch thick, round as the moon in the sky, and covered with golden silk cloth underneath. He briefly inspected it, and there were 200 cakes on each layer, and this box was about a dozen layers, and 500 catties was only a lot more.
Mansur nodded contentedly, giving away the gold was like a treat for him, and the person who received the gift was either excited or grateful, and rarely accepted it as safely as Li Siye in front of him.
"The thank you gift has been delivered, we will return immediately, goodbye."
Mansur waved his black cloak and turned around, his posture was indescribably chic, and the ladies of the Hu tribe guarding the city were stunned, this is a real rich and handsome man, Suhrab rode a white camel with mottled color, and he can be called a rich man. There are thirteen pure white camels, thirteen black horses, and thirteen yellow camels under the command of Mansour. This young man from the Arabian Peninsula truly embodies what a trench is.
Li Siye suddenly shouted: "Wait." ”
Mansur stopped, turned around and spread his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Mansur's life is worth more than just a few hundred catties of gold, and I will have more valuable gifts to give in the future." ”
"No, I didn't mean that, it's a guest, and I want to invite you to drink in the grass hall."
"I'm *** and don't drink. But how can such a small green ridge guard accommodate a guest as big as me. ”
"Nani?" Fujimu, who was standing behind Li Siye, opened his mouth wide in surprise, how could such a rich person be so unable to speak.
Li Siye smiled knowingly, is this caused by cultural differences, no, the current Arabs still only have religion, no culture. He had saved Mansur two days earlier, and the money he had given him was not a drop of water or a spring of water in return, but a reward of value, and he felt that his life was worth as much as he should reciprocate.
In addition, Li Siye doesn't pay much attention to him, but he is just a man with a strong body and can fight, and he doesn't know how many such strong warriors there are in Dashi. Even if he used a Mo knife to scare more than twenty assassins, it would not be enough to surprise him.
"The temple is small and the demon is windy, and the pool is shallow and the king is eight. Although my place is a little small and a little simple, the people here are all capable people, no worse than your camel riders. ”
There was an interpreter who was proficient in the Chinese dialect by Mansour's side, and he immediately relayed these words to Mansour, and this guy looked back at Li Siye in surprise, and then straightened the bridge of his nose and squeezed out a smile.
"Yes, I promise to be a guest in your grass hall."
Li Siye gave up, and Mansur strode towards the grass hall, the retinue behind him following closely, standing in two rows on either side of the road.
He had the table arranged, and the sheep felt was laid out, and he himself sat on the throne. Since Mansur doesn't eat alcohol, even if the other party eats, these inferior Sanle pulp in the wine shop are also a joke in front of others. He could only ask Yu Gou, the only one in Quan Congling who could make tea, to cook tea to entertain the other party.
After all, he is a big tyrant, and in addition to entertaining with things he doesn't know, other things really don't get into his eyes.
When he sat down, he realized that he had nothing to say, for behind Mansour stood two attendants dressed in white, one an interpreter and the other a clerk who resembled a clerical form. This kind of scene is officially like diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he really doesn't know what to do, because he hasn't experienced it much.
Li Siye had no choice but to sit upright, as if he couldn't show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, after all, he was also an official of the Tang Dynasty.
"Mansur-jun came to Datang this time, but for what?"
Mansur stretched out his hand to these people outside, and said calmly: "These people you see are just official caravans, but they are actually secret envoys, and I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty this time." I just met your Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty at the Daming Palace in Chang'an last month. ”
He then asked again: "Do you know what I went to see the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for?" ”
Li Siye thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is it for the sake of the Raider?" ”
Mansour gave him a thumbs up: "It's really unimaginable that a small guard of the Tang Dynasty has such a sharp eye." ”
Li Siye smiled, and said humbly in his heart, I really won the award, I just learned history well in my last life.
"Where, where, every military attache in the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty must understand the surrounding situation."
Mansour nodded affirmatively, and spoke eloquently to him: "Sulu is the male lord of the generation of Turgish, but he was born at the wrong time, he is not willing to attach himself to the Tang Dynasty or any of our big eaters, and he will eventually perish." A villain at both ends of the head and rat will definitely not last long. He has the ambition of an eagle, but he doesn't have the wings of an eagle, it's a pity. ”
"On behalf of the Great Food, I went to visit the Tang Emperor in order to put Sulu in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness, and this purpose has been achieved. If there are no accidents, this summer the governor of Khorasan, General Luo Shan Hami, personally led an army of 200,000 to start a decisive battle with Sulu. Under the protection of Allah, we will be victorious. “
Li Siye was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and dared to show off your strength in front of me, so he coldly replied to Mansur: "Your caliphs have sent people to assassinate you, how can you still faithfully run errands for him." ”
Mansour narrowed his eyes and replied solemnly: "I am not running allegiance for the Umayyad Caliphate, but to proclaim the will of Allah, to carry on the legacy of the Prophet Muhammad, and to spread the radiance of Allah." ”
Li Siye could only be silent, he couldn't argue with a person who couldn't talk about God at every turn.
Mansour stood up and said to Li Siye: "We might as well go to the city wall, we have come to the Green Ridge twice, and we have not yet enjoyed the scenery of the Green Ridge. ”
Li Siye gladly agreed, and invited Mansur to come to the earthen wall at the head of the city.
