After talking about the special training at Zhanfeng Camp, Zhou Jun changed the topic and asked Mu Sheikh: "I heard that there was civil strife in Dashi?"
Mu Sheikh looked at Zhou Jun: "The situation can no longer be described as civil strife. The Ali family and the Abbasid family have captured Fars Province, and the Umayyad royal family has been retreating."
Zhou Jun picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth, and asked softly: "Whose side is Hall Master Mu on?"
Mu Sheikh: "I am neither a loyal minister of the Umayyad dynasty nor a supporter of the rebels."
Zhou Jun: "Then you are...?"
Mu Sheikh sighed slightly: "When I was serving as the imam of the Grand Mosque in Dashi, I was ostracized and slandered because I opposed the religious policies of the Umayyad royal family, and finally had no choice but to leave the country. Therefore, I did not
Not a loyal minister of the Umayyad dynasty."
"On the other hand, although the Umayyad royal family's process of becoming caliphate was full of controversies and flaws, under the governance of successive rulers, the Dashi Kingdom has prospered and its national strength has gradually grown, so I do not want to see the rebels.
The country is embroiled in war."
Zhou Jun: "So, you plan to help both parties?"
Mu Sheikh: "I plan to stay out of the civil strife in the Dashi Kingdom. However, there is a group of people in the Dashi Kingdom who I have had contacts with in the past. They are in danger during this war, and I plan to help them."
Zhou Jun: "Who?"
Mushaykh: "Just a few months ago, the Abbasid cavalry raided the Grand Mosque in Fars Province and conducted a large-scale search for scholars and believers loyal to the Umayyad royal family."
Zhou Jun: "How are they doing now?"
Mushaykh: "Some were arrested and executed, while others were hiding and looking for opportunities to escape."
Zhou Jun: "Can they escape?"
Mushaykh: "According to the letter, the Abbasid army had guessed that these people would flee to the west, so they blocked the western border of the province. Therefore, those who were hiding had no idea about their next move to the west.
There will be disagreements about where to evacuate.”
Zhou Jun nodded and motioned to Mu Sheikh to elaborate.
The latter said: "Except for those who want to surrender, there are others who suggest escaping south to the southeast of Fars, near the coast of Makran Province, and from there take a boat to Tianzhu."
Zhou Jun: "Is this route feasible?"
Mushaykh: "The coastline to the southeast of Fars is very long, and there are several natural ports there. Escape to Tianzhu by boat is a pretty good way."
Seeing Mu Sheikh's solemn expression, Zhou Jun asked, "You don't seem worried about this route?"
Mushaykh: "If I were the leader of the Abbasid family, I would naturally be able to guess the escape route to the south for the fugitives. In fact, according to the fugitives' letters, the patrol force in the south of Fars is very weak.
It seems that the enemy has no intention of preventing them from escaping by boat."
Zhou Jun understood Mu Sheikh's worries: "So, do you think that the enemy deliberately lowered the defense strength in the south in order to make the fugitives take it lightly and choose to flee south. Then, the enemy can intercept the fugitives halfway?"
Mu Sheikh nodded: "Yes, that's what I thought. I also told the fugitives these thoughts through letters, but they replied to me and said..."
Zhou Jun: "Let me guess, they replied to you that even if they have such concerns, there is no better way at the moment, so they can only go south to try their luck."
Musheikh: "Yes, they did say that in the letter, so I pointed out another escape route for them."
Zhou Jun: "Another escape route?" Mu Sheikh: "Go eastward from Fars Province, enter Khorasan Province, then cross the national border and enter the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhou Jun was surprised when he heard this, and then said: "Khorasan Province is the headquarters of the Abbasid family. If you let them go to the Tang Dynasty from there, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
Mu Sheikh: "Your thoughts are the thoughts of the vast majority of people. Almost everyone will think that entering Khorasan Province, which has become the source of rebels, at this time is a dead end. But sometimes, the most dangerous
The safest place is the safest place, this saying has its truth."
Moving the wine glass in front of him, Mu Sheikh dipped his fingers in the water and said while writing: "First of all, the Abbasid family's army is gathered in the west of Fars Province and is fighting the Umayyad army. Khorasan
The province already lacks rear defense; secondly, the rebels will focus on the southern part of Fars Province to prevent fugitives from escaping by boat, and entering the Tang Dynasty from Khorasan Province will become a blind spot; finally
, and the most important point..."
Mu Sheikh looked at Zhou Jun: "Zhou Jian is based in Anxi, has good relations with the Anxi Protectorate, and holds the power of Changxingfang."
When Zhou Jun heard the words "Changxingfang", he immediately guessed what Mu Sheikh was thinking: "Do you want to use the caravan as a cover to disguise these fugitives as merchants and cross the border into the Tang Dynasty?"
Mu Sheikh nodded: "When the rebellion broke out in Khorasan Province earlier, a large number of farmland and pastures were burned. A considerable part of the rebels' food supply depended on the mutual trade with the Tang Dynasty. Taking advantage of the caravan trade,
Coupled with the Pingyin issued by the Anxi Protectorate, we can safely bring those fugitives from Dashi to the Tang Dynasty."
Zhou Jun pondered for a moment, analyzing the plan from beginning to end, and then took a deep look at Mu Sheikh.
This old man who once served as the imam of the Grand Mosque usually remains anonymous, low-key and unknown, but he has an extraordinary side in planning, which is really surprising.
At this time, Zhou Jun asked Mu Sheikh the most critical and difficult question: "This matter is extremely risky. If you are not careful, you will get burned. Why should I take this risk?"
As if he had guessed that the other party had already asked this question, Mu Sheikh leaned forward and said: "Among these escapees, there are mullahs from the sect blessed by Allah, as well as well-known scholars from the Holy Land Institute. If Zhou Jian can save these people, in the future
If you want to realize your ambitions, you can get the full support of these people.”

Zhou Jun thought he was acting cautiously, but unexpectedly, Mu Sheikh actually said the words "realize his ambition."
Zhou Jun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that there were flaws in his words and deeds?
In fact, he was overthinking this.
Mu Sheikh recognized Zhou Jun as a prophet sent by the True God. The so-called "realizing ambitions" naturally refers to completing the mission of the True God.
Zhou Jun carefully considered his words: "I am just an official of the Tang Dynasty. If I rashly interfere in the affairs of other countries, it may not be conducive to the relationship between foreign countries and the Tang Dynasty."
Mu Xieh shook his head and said: "Zhou Jian is from the Tang Dynasty and is an official of the imperial court. If you are involved with Dashi in the future, it will naturally be inconvenient. But now there is a person who can be the link between you and Dashi.
bridge."
Zhou Jun: "Who?"
Mu Sheikh: "Draw the moon."
Zhou Jun stopped moving.
Mu Sheikh looked around and made sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said: "As the illegitimate daughter of the Caliph, Hua Yue is a member of the royal family. She not only occupies a place in the dynasty, but is also in charge of the Hidden Gate.
I have a group of capable people under my command. In the future, no matter what Supervisor Zhou plans, Hua Yue can attract support."
Fei Weng, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally interjected: "It's just that although you two are the master's servants, one day, once Hua Yue's background is revealed, the relationship between you may change."
When Fei Weng said this, he paused for a moment, and then said to Zhou Jun: "I see that Zhou Zuorang is very good at Hua Yue on weekdays, and she is your maid, so why not go with the flow and bring her into the room earlier..."
Mu Sheikh stared at Fei Weng and coughed lightly. Fei Weng suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped talking, showing regret for his mistake and stopped talking.
