The old woman Papar's real name was difficult to understand, so everyone in the room called her Nile.
Ever since Nie Le touched Zhou Jun and Hua Yue's faces with her hands, she sat aside with a smile. No matter what others asked her, she would always smile and not answer.
Zhou Jun only learned from other people's conversations that Nile was the Grand Imam of the Papal Tribal Alliance and had served as a religious advisor to the Umayyad royal family. He had a close relationship with Ms. Zapata, who was also an advisor at the time.
relatively close.
After this episode, Wu Ji, the leader of the Papar tribe, became obviously much more honest. Not only did he no longer speak rudely, but his attitude towards Hua Yue and Zhou Jun also became much more respectful.
Seeing everyone gathered, Nessel said: "Today we are gathered here to meet a survivor of the royal family and decide whether she can shoulder the responsibility of restoring the country and whether she is qualified to receive our
Allegiance.”
Before anyone could speak, Hua Yue turned to Nessel and said, "Father, I made it very clear in my letter. I came to Dashi to find you not for the throne, but to verify that matter with you."
Nessel frowned when he heard this, grabbed Huayue's arm, pulled her aside, and whispered: "We will discuss that matter in detail later..."
Huayue: "My biological father abandoned me and my adoptive father deceived me. How could you think that I would still have any loyalty to this kingdom?"
Nesser was stunned and said in a deep voice: "You are the only remaining princess of the Umayyad royal family. The blood of the royal family flows in your body, so you should take on the responsibility..."
Huayue interrupted Nessel: "I came to Dashi this time, firstly, to ask you to prove the matter, secondly, to get back my mother's relics, and thirdly... you have been kind to me in nurturing me. If
If you agree, you can return to Tang Kingdom with me and spend the rest of your life peacefully."
Nessel: "Return to the Tang Kingdom? What on earth are you thinking about?! In Dashi, you were the only princess in the empire, but in the Tang Kingdom, you are just a female slave!"
Huayue's amber eyes were slightly brightened by anger and excitement. She said coldly: "In the Tang Dynasty, although I was a female slave, at least I had a home and a family who cared about me and took care of me! No.
Like here, I am forced to deal with the consequences of that hypocritical and cowardly king!"
When Nessel heard this, he was furious and raised his hands in the air as if to strike.
When he saw Huayue's stubborn and resolute face, Nessel's palm finally did not fall.
After a long time, Nessel let out a long sigh and said: "First, let me say it again, your mother's death was only due to a serious illness and had nothing to do with your biological father or the palace fight; second, your mother's death was due to a serious illness.
I have always carried the relics with me, and you can take them away at any time; third, I am the governor of Umayyad and a brother of the Caliph with a different surname. I was born in this land and will die here..."
Huayue stared at Nessel, her eyes slowly becoming foggy, and she said softly: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."
Nessel: "Ask."
Hua Yue: "My biological father abandoned his wife and daughter and ordered you to take care of us. After that, you and your mother became a false couple and called me your daughter. I ask you, have you really been able to take care of us for so many years?"
Do you think of us as family, or are you just following the orders of the Caliph?"
Nessel slowly closed his eyes, sighed and said: "I can swear to Allah, I will always treat you as a real family member."
Tears in Huayue's eyes fell down her cheeks, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and she said to Nesser: "Father, thank you... In this cruel kingdom like an ice cave, you are the only one who has given me and
Mother is someone who brings some warmth."
At this time, Museh came over. He first looked at the father and daughter, and then said to Hua Yue: "I just chatted for a while with Romuska, the commander of the Egyptian Army. He once led the army in Al
He is stationed in Pozhong and knows every fort in the province, and even his quartermaster has a defense plan for any fort in the province."
Hua Yue was stunned when he heard this and asked: "What about the fortress where the Tang army prisoners were imprisoned?"
Mushaykh: "As long as he can know the specific location of that fortress, Romuska can find the corresponding defense map, and then understand the terrain, barracks and secret passages of the entire fortress."
Hua Yue was delighted: "In this case, Erlang wants to rescue those Tang army prisoners, wouldn't it...?"
Mu Sheikh: "Don't get too happy first. I want to remind you of a few things."
Huayue: "What?"
Mu Sheikh: "First, why did Romuska hand over the fortress defense map of the Dashi Province into the hands of a Tang man?"
Huayue hesitated for a moment and replied: "Erlang has always had a grudge against the Abbasids. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Romuska should help Erlang."
Mu Sheikh: "The Tang State and the Abbasids have already negotiated peace. How could Romuska believe the Tang people?"
Huayue was stunned.
Mu Sheikh: "Second, Zhou Lang has 200 soldiers in his hands. This is the only strongest force that the Tang Dynasty mission can rely on. If they are ordered to rescue the prisoners, there will suddenly be so many fewer people in the mission.
It will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Court of Justice, and secondly, the appearance of so many faces from the Tang Dynasty in Aleppo Province will definitely attract the attention of the defenders, thus alerting the enemy."
Huayue frowned.
Mu Sheikh: "There is also a third question. Even if the Tang army prisoners in Aleppo are rescued, how can such a large group of people escape from the big food with obvious goals?"
Huayue looked at Mu Sheikh: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Mu Sheikh: "This is Dashi. If Zhou Lang wants to save the captives of the Tang army, it is far from enough to rely on himself. He must have foreign aid. And those foreign aids are the old Umayyad tribe here. As for how to persuade them,
These people, it's very simple, as long as you become the princess of Umayyad, they will naturally obey your orders."
The face of the painted moon is uncertain.
Mu Sheikh: "Besides, if you return to the Tang State like this, the identity of the Umayyad royal family will be a disaster after all. If you are exposed, the Abbasids report to the Tang State, and Zhou Lang is recalled to Chang'an for questioning, then
All his efforts will be in vain."
Seeing that Hua Yue was deep in thought, Mu Xiech left, walked to Zhou Jun again, and said in Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Zhou Zhoulang, when things here are settled, do you really plan to take the princess back to Tang Dynasty?"
Zhou Jun: "The Umayyad Kingdom is now weak. If Hua Yue stays, it will still be in danger. I plan to take her back to Anxi and place her in a relatively safe place. When the world is stable, she can move freely."
Mu Sheikh: "But does Hua Yue herself really want to go back?"
Zhou Jun: "What?"
Mu Xieh: "Hua Yue's father is here, and her mother is buried here. Dashi is her hometown. If she leaves here, even if she stays in the Tang Dynasty safely, even if she is free from illness and disaster, she will really be able to
Are you happy? And will you regret it?"
Zhou Jun: "I said that her identity is sensitive and it would be dangerous to stay here."
Mushaykh: "The Umayyad royal family has long been dead and wounded. The Abbasids are now busy fighting the rebels and have no time to care about whether there is any remaining blood in the kingdom. Besides, the Egyptian Legion and the Papar Legion
If you are willing to be loyal, the princess will have two major helpers in her hands. Although she will not win, she will have no worries about protecting herself."
Zhou Jun stared at Mu Sheikh and remained silent.
Mu Xieh: "I generally understand the feelings between Zhou Duhu and the princess, but have you ever thought that if Hua Yue stayed in Dashi, she would be a princess, but if she stayed in Tang, she would just be a female slave.
If the Protector really thinks about her, should he choose a path that is more suitable for her?"
Hua Yue also came over at this time. Seeing this, Mu Sheikh left the space for Zhou Jun and Hua Yue. He walked to the side and found Nessel.
Turning his attention to Zhou Jun and Hua Yue who were chatting, Mu Sheikh asked Neisser: "What if the Caliph Merwan had the courage to defy all opinions and bring Hua Yue's mother into the palace to hold a ceremony?"
With a formal wedding, maybe there won’t be so many tragedies in the future.”
Neisser: "The Caliph expressed regret more than once when he talked with me, but the resistance from secular and religious sources is not that easy to break through."
Mu Sheikh looked at Huayue's back and said meaningfully: "I would say that the Caliph doesn't have the courage, but her daughter may be able to do it."
Nesser followed Mu Sheikh's line of sight and looked at the couple in the room. He opened his eyes wide and understood something in an instant.
