After Zhou Jun talked with Mu Sheikh, it didn't take long for the royal advisor from the Dashi Order to find Hua Yue.
The royal advisers, headed by Umayyad's housekeeper, not only showed Hua Yue the royal family tree, proving the latter's royal bloodline, but they also brought something beyond Zhou Jun's expectation - a letter.
On this day, sitting in the courtyard of the North Fort, Zhou Jun looked at the letter on the stone table, frowned, and asked Hua Yue: "This letter was written by your father... adoptive father, huh?"
Written by Seyal, governor of the province of Roshan?"
Hua Yue sat opposite Zhou Jun, looking a little distracted.
She nodded first, and then whispered: "In the past few days, many things have happened, and I had no time to react. They first told me that I was the illegitimate daughter of the Caliph, and that my father... adoptive father, Khorasan
The governor of the province was just entrusted by the Caliph to raise me to adulthood as agreed. Then he told me that my adoptive father was still alive."
Zhou Jun stared at the letter, thoughtful and silent.
Hua Yue: "In this way, many questions in the past now have logical answers. My mother was born as a slave girl. My adoptive father cared for her very much, but he never did anything to her; moreover,
My adoptive father found the best teacher for me and provided me with the best food and accommodation, which are things that other children expect but cannot get. Relatives in the clan say that my adoptive father is partial and hates me..."
Zhou Jun: "You said that you went to the capital of Dashi to study when you were a child. Did your biological father, the caliph, ever get to know you?"
Hua Yue: "In my impression, the Caliph is a kind old man. Every time we meet, he always spends a long time talking to me. I always thought that the Caliph had a good personal relationship with my father, so he would treat me very well."
Being kind turns out to be because..."
Seeing Huayue closing her eyes and looking sad, Zhou Jun returned his attention to the letter.
The entire letter was written in Dashi script, and the content was not much, just enough for one page.
After Huayue's mood stabilized a little, Zhou Jun asked her: "Is this letter really written by your adoptive father?"
Huayue wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded slightly: "The handwriting and writing are correct, it is indeed his style. He wrote in the letter that he was in Fuda City and wanted to see me."
Zhou Jun said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that this letter might be a cover?"
Hua Yue looked at Zhou Jun: "I understand what Erlang means. You want to say that in order to lure me to Dashi, those royal advisers deliberately found out my adoptive father's old letters and found someone to imitate them."
Zhou Jun: "Your adoptive father followed the Caliphate to Egypt. The Abbasid army defeated Umayyad's army there, and pursued and finally killed Marwan II. In this case,
With all due respect... the chance of your adoptive father surviving is extremely slim. Moreover, the entire Umayyad royal family has now been decimated, and the Abbasid army is searching everywhere for any fish that slipped through the net. If you go to Dashi like this,
Nine times out of ten, there is no return."
Huayue was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Zhou Jun: "Erlang, did you know my life experience before?"
Zhou Jun was stunned at first. After he came to his senses, he did not answer the question directly, but said firmly: "Stay in Yanqi. At least here, you will be safe."
Huayue looked at Zhou Jun's face with a faint smile: "The reason why you conceal the truth is to protect me..."
Zhou Jun sighed: "Mu Sheikh talked to me before and said that Umayyad's army needs a leader of royal descent to lead them to continue fighting against Abbasid. But, think about it, your mother and you
I have never been accepted by the Umayyad royal family, so why would I risk my life to accompany such a kingdom?"
Huayue lowered her head and whispered: "If I stay, I will bring you a lot of trouble."
Zhou Jun: "I have seen all kinds of strong winds and waves... What's more, I possess Yinglong Divine Consciousness, how can you bring me trouble?"
Hua Yue shook her head gently: "The Abbas family will soon come to power. Once the Great Food Kingdom changes hands, the secrets of the Umayyad royal family will soon be discovered. By then, if the Great Food Kingdom
What would you do if you asked Tang for prisoners?"
Zhou Jun: "There are only two years left before the troubled times. After another two years, even if the Great Eclipse comes and the imperial court orders people, at worst, they will directly refuse it and then take advantage of the power of the world, and they will do it slowly."
Hua Yue: "If you really get to that point, with Dashi in the west, Tang in the east, and Tubo in the south, Erlang will be surrounded by enemies on three sides. Moreover, if you lose the trust of the court, how many subordinates under your command will...
Are you willing to rebel against Tang?"
Zhou Jun: "I admit... what you said is reasonable. To put it another way, you can stay anonymous and choose a secluded place in the Western Region to live in peace of mind. It is better to live in a world where life and death are unpredictable."
Huayue stretched out her hand, gently covered the back of Zhou Jun's hand, and said softly: "Erlang should know that that is not a long-term solution."
Zhou Jun sighed, and after a long time, he asked Huayue: "Do you have to go?"
Huayue: "Even if it's not for the Umayyad royal family, but just for my adoptive father, I still want to go for a big meal."
Zhou Jun closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Zhou Jun said to Huayue: "I will accompany you to Fuda City."
Huayue was stunned on the spot and said in shock: "What nonsense did Erlang say?!"
Zhou Jun: "Have you forgotten? Dashi and Datang are at war. This time I accepted your majesty's entrustment. One of my top priorities is to make peace. It's better if you stay with me as a member of the mission.
Take the risk and sneak in.”
Hua Yue: "Even if you make peace with Dashi, as the governor of Anxi, you don't have to go into danger yourself."
Zhou Jun: "Yinglong has a book, Dashi and Tang Dynasty, after the Battle of Talos, there will be no war in a short period of time, and the two countries will soon armistice and make a treaty. Therefore, when I went to Dashi as an envoy, it was probably
There is no danger. However, Huayue, you are different. As a descendant of the Wu Maiye Emperor, if your identity is discovered, you will not be able to escape. Only in the Tang Dynasty mission can you hide your traces and minimize the risk.
"
Hua Yue thought carefully and realized that what Zhou Jun said was true.
If she rashly sneaked into Dashi and went to Fuda City to find her adoptive father, once she was recognized, there would be almost no possibility of escaping; however, if she followed the envoy, the Abbasid army would not risk triggering a war.
, came to search the envoy camp and make enemies with the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Jun said at this time: "As I just said, this time you go to Dashi not for the Umayyad royal family, but to meet your adoptive father. Once you two meet, or he encounters
If you are unfortunate, then I will be responsible for bringing you back to Yanqi safely. Do you agree to this?"
Huayue nodded lightly: "That's it."
Zhou Jun: "Now that it's agreed, let's pack our bags and set off for Qiuci Town the day after tomorrow to prepare for a feast!"
