Looking at Huayue in front of him, Zhou Jun asked: "Do you plan to go back with me or stay in Dashi? Do you have an idea in your mind?"
Huayue raised her head and said to Zhou Jun: "If you go back, even if you hide me in Anxi, once the Abbasids learn about this, it will definitely cause a big disaster in the future."
Zhou Jun shook his head and lowered his voice and said: "Have you forgotten? Next year will be the fourteenth year of Tianbao. If the world goes as usual, the world will be in chaos. As long as you stay in Anxi, I can guarantee that nothing will happen."
Huayue: "If there is really chaos in the world next year, if I stay in Anxi, it will bring disaster to Erlang."
Zhou Jun: "Why?"
Hua Yue: "Erlang had made an agreement with Kong You earlier, planning to take advantage of the catastrophe in Tianbao's fourteenth year to rebuild the world and establish a new dynasty. If the plan really came true, Anxi is located in the throat, with Geluolu in the north and Geluolu in the south.
There is Tubo, and the east side is regarded as a traitor by the Tang Dynasty, and the situation will be extremely difficult. If there are enemies due to the Moon Painting incident, Anxi will be faced with enemies on all sides, and there will be no room for change."
Zhou Jun was speechless for a moment.
Hua Yue: "When I was young, the palace fortune teller Zapata once made a prophecy. She said that I would travel to a foreign country in this life and meet a prophet who came to the world. However, in order to spread the oracles brought by the prophet,
, I will be with you soon and will return to my hometown again."
Zhou Jun vaguely remembered that Huayue once told him about the prophecy, but he did not expect that the prophecy had a second half.
Huayue looked at Zhou Jun, smiled sadly, turned around and wanted to leave.
Zhou Jun's heart felt hot for no reason, and his blood surged up. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Hua Yue's arm, gritting his teeth and said: "Ten years ago, I asked you to stay. Now, even if the situation is not good and the future is difficult,
If you want to ask me, I will still give the same answer as before, stay!"
Huayue looked down at Zhou Jun's hand, her eyes slowly blurred with tears.
Mu Sheikh came over at this time and said in Tang language: "Zhou Duhu, I have informed Umayyad's old generals about the situation in Anxi..."
Zhou Jun interrupted Mu Sheikh and said in a low voice: "No matter what Umayyad's old men think, I will eventually take Hua Yue back to Anxi."
Mu Sheikh: "Protector of Zhou, please listen to what I have to say first. If Hua Yue stays and becomes the leader of Umayyad, then the Egyptian army and the Papar army will obey her orders. They can help you,
Rescue those Tang army prisoners, and if the Abbasids and Anxi start another war in the future, you will have a reliable ally."
Zhou Jun looked at Mu Xieh coldly, grabbed Hua Yue's hand, and did not let go at all.
Musheikh added: "The Anxi Army now occupies Talas, which is only one step away from Khorasan Province, and Khorasan Province is the headquarters of the Abbasid family and the foundation of Governor Abu.
The reason why the Abbasids negotiated peace with Anxi was not because they gave up Talos, but because Mansur's uncle set off a rebellion in the territory of Dashi. The Abbasids must first quell the civil strife. In other words, the Abbasids must first quell the civil strife.
The so-called peace treaty signed by the Bassi people is just a delaying tactic. Sooner or later, Abbasid and Anxi will go to war again."
Zhou Jun: "Even if the Abbasids invade again, I have a way to defeat them. Besides, the people of the Tang Dynasty are responsible for the affairs of Anxi. I can't trust these old Umayyad troops at all."
Mu Sheikh turned his head to look at Huayue next to Zhou Jun, and suddenly changed the subject: "Protector, I have always had a problem."
Zhou Jun: "Say!"
Mu Sheikh: "What kind of existence does Hua Yue exist in your heart?"
Zhou Jun was stunned when he heard this and froze. Hua Yue also stopped struggling and looked at Zhou Jun.
Mu Sheikh: "If it's just a slave girl, then you value her too much; if it's a lover, but you've never intended to take her into your house?"
Zhou Jun first looked at Hua Yue beside him, then looked at the old man Dashi in front of him, thought for a moment, and replied: "There are some men and women in this world, even if they have different origins, they can be connected..."
Mu Xieh: "If we refer to the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called connection of hearts is probably the same as the deep love. Since we are in love with each other, if Zhou Duhu is asked to marry Hua Yue as his wife, will you agree?"
Zhou Jun was startled.
Mu Sheikh: "A man who eats a lot can have four wives. Whether it is a sultan or a commoner, it is common to marry a female slave as his wife. However, if it were in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty would hinder the etiquette and law, and it might be difficult to do so.
To...but here it is a normal thing."
Huayue turned to look at Zhou Jun, as if she had forgotten everything around her, just waiting for the latter to give an answer.
Zhou Jun stared at Huayue for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I am willing to marry her, but Wu Maiye..."
Before Zhou Jun could finish speaking, Mu Sheikh rushed to say: "If Zhou Duhu can marry Hua Yue as his wife according to the Dashi etiquette, then, first of all, Hua Yue as your wife is equal to Umayyad and Anxi's
The supreme leader has reached a marriage alliance with the Egyptian Legion and the Papal Army, so there is no need to worry about the betrayal of allies."
"Secondly, Huayue is the princess of Wu Maiye. If Zhou Duhu wants to marry her, according to the marriage laws of the Tang Dynasty, if she is a wife, she will be in chaos, if she is a concubine, she will be demoted. No matter what, it is inappropriate. Only.
Marrying according to the custom of Dashi can take care of both sides of Tang Dynasty and Dashi at the same time, so as not to cause disputes... Speaking of which, Dashi aristocrats and wealthy businessmen often have two families in their own country and in Tang Dynasty. It is not okay for the guardian to do this.
It’s quite unique.”
"Thirdly, Huayue will marry Zhou Duhu as the princess of Umayyad. Whether it is rescuing Tang army prisoners or fighting against the Abbasids, Umayyad's old troops can obey the command of you and your wife. Invisibly.
In the war, the Protectorate has a staunch ally, and the west side of the Anxi Protectorate also has an additional layer of protection."
Hearing this, Huayue couldn't help but ask: "If I marry Erlang, once the Abbasids find out about this, won't they attack Anxi?"
Mu Sheikh shook his head and smiled: "You will know about this later."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Mu Sheikh’s words were conclusive, Hua Yue stopped asking further questions.
Mu Xihe then said to Zhou Jun: "Protector Zhou, if you bring Hua Yue back to the Tang Dynasty, how to arrange the status will be a difficult knot. If you let her stay in Dashi, she can start a family and eventually leave.
Come together.”
Seeing the hesitation on Zhou Jun's face, Mu Sheikh added: "As the Protector just said, you two have the same mind, so why bother about the distance. As the leader of Umayyad, Hua Yue stayed in Dashi,
With a more noble status and the protection of soldiers around you, it is naturally better than staying anonymous in Anxi, so why should the Protector insist on having his own way?"
Zhou Jun looked at Hua Yue, who nodded slightly.
Zhou Jun closed his eyes and finally let out a long sigh.
Since Zhou Jun, Hua Yue and Mu Xiehe all spoke Mandarin in the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end, everyone in Umayyad's old tribe had no idea what they were talking about.
Mu Sheikh called everyone together and announced in public: "The only remaining princess of the Umayyad royal family is willing to stay in Dashi and lead us to continue to fight against the Abbasids, just to fulfill the will of God and restore the empire.
The glory of the past!”
After saying that, Mu Sheikh stepped aside to make way, and Hua Yue walked forward with some uneasiness.
Neser, Romuska, Uji, Nile and other old Umayyad tribesmen knelt on one knee in front of Hua Yue, followed Mu Sheikh, and uttered the oath of allegiance.
After completing the allegiance ceremony, Mu Sheikh said to the old Umayyad men: "As a woman, the princess will be difficult to gather people's hearts if her identity is announced to the outside world. Because according to the teachings of Dashi, only men can inherit the orthodoxy of the royal family. Therefore, we
We must find a way to gain legitimacy for the only descendant of Umayyad, so as to unite more allies."
Wu Ji heard this and said disdainfully: "In the Papar tribe, as long as they are blessed by God, both men and women can be promoted to preachers and enjoy the respect of the tribe. The position of chief imam is even more important.
It has been held by women all year round. It is only here that it has not changed in a hundred years."
Ignoring Uji's speech, the old general Romuska said: "The Umayyad Empire is now in a state of life and death. All means that can unite the people can be used. I personally suggest that the princess's identity as a woman can be hidden.
It is claimed that the last remaining bloodline of the Umayyad royal family is an illegitimate son of Caliph Marwan."
Neser hesitated: "Is it feasible to conceal the gender of the princess, let her dress up in disguise, and lead Umayyad's army as a male?"
Mu Sheikh nodded and said: "I think it is feasible. Except for a few who stayed in Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, the only people who know the princess's identity are us. Let the princess wear men's clothes and wear a mask on weekdays.
Deal with most of the unnecessary trouble."
Neisser: "If you put on men's clothing and a mask, wouldn't others be suspicious?"
Mushaykh: "We have in our hands the internal records of the palace steward recording the births of the royal family members, the seals written by the caliph before his death, and the royal orders issued by the royal family to the Egyptian Legion and the Papar Legion. With these, no one can
If the royal blood of the princess is questioned, all we have to do is to keep her gender a secret."
Nessel: "What about the princess's name? You can't use the same female name as in the past."
Everyone looked at Hua Yue.
Hua Yue thought for a while and said: "I was called Hua Yue when I was in the Tang Dynasty, so I will use the word 'Crescent Moon' as my new name. In Dashi language, it will be pronounced as 'Anina'."
Nessel, Romuska and Uggie looked at each other and nodded.
After everyone started to disperse, Mushayh walked to Nessel's side.
The latter was looking at Hua Yue and Zhou Jun who were standing together and talking.
Mu Sheikh whispered: "Prepare a wedding for your daughter."
When Nessel heard this, there was no surprise in his expression, and a rare smile appeared on his originally rigid and serious face.
