Chapter 140 The rich and handsome Arab send gold (I wish everyone a happy new year)
The gate of the city guarding the city was opened. Mansur visually measured the height of the door opening, ordered everyone to get off the camels and horses, and led the horses into the city.
Li Siye stood on the main road to greet them, his face was serious, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. The team he brought out were so heroic, and the reward of five hundred kilograms of gold was considered a solid reward.
Mansour walked up to Li Siye, crossed his arms and saluted: "Li Shijun, I am here to fulfill my promise. Five hundred kilograms of gold have been delivered. Please check it."
He raised his arm and waved: "Bring the thing up."
Four warriors in black used long sticks to carry a large redwood box inlaid with gold to Li Siye. They bent down and put the box down, smashing the dust on the hard brown soil.
A man stepped forward to open the copper lock on it and lifted the lid of the box. The golden light immediately blinded Li Siye, and even his body staggered slightly. Fortunately, his concentration was so good that he was not knocked down by the gold.
.
There were pieces of gold cakes stacked in the box. Each piece was three inches in diameter and one inch thick. It was as round as the moon in the sky, with golden silk underneath. After a brief visual inspection, he found that there were two hundred cakes on each layer.
, this box is stacked on about a dozen layers, and five hundred kilograms is only a lot more.
Mansour nodded with satisfaction. Giving away the gold seemed like a kind of enjoyment to him. Those who received the gift were either excited or grateful, but few received it as calmly as Li Siye in front of him.
"The thank you gift has been delivered. We will return immediately. Goodbye."
Mansoor waved his black cloak and turned around, his posture indescribably chic. The Hu women who were guarding the city looked blankly in their eyes. This was a real wealthy and handsome man. Suhrab rode a mottled white camel.
He can be called a rich man. Mansour has a team of thirteen pure white camels, thirteen black horses, and thirteen yellow camels. He usually does not give gifts in his life, but gives gold cakes. This young man from the Arabian Peninsula is truly
Explains what a trench is.
Li Siye suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
Mansour stopped, turned around, spread out his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mansour's life is worth more than these hundreds of kilograms of gold. I will have more valuable gifts to give you in the future."
"No, that's not what I meant. You are a guest. I want to invite you to the thatched cottage for a drink."
"I'm a *** and don't drink. But how can such a small Congling Shouchuo accommodate a guest as big as me?"
"Nani?" Teng Mu, who was standing behind Li Siye, opened his mouth in surprise. How could such a rich man be so incapable of speaking?
Li Siye smiled knowingly. Could this be caused by cultural differences? No, Arabs now only have religion and no culture. He saved Mansour two days ago and the other party gave him money. It was not because of
The kindness of a drop of water means repaying it with a spring of water, but it is a return of value. He should repay how much he thinks his life is worth.
Apart from that, Li Siye didn't value him much. He was just a strong man who could fight. There were countless such strong warriors in Dashi. Even if he frightened more than twenty people with a Mo Dao
Assassin is not enough to make him feel amazing.
"The temple is small and the demons are strong, but the pool is full of bastards. Although my place is a little small and a little crude, the people here are all capable, no worse than your camel-riding men."
There was a translator next to Mansour who was proficient in Chinese dialect, and he immediately translated these words to Mansour. The guy turned around and glanced at Li Siye in surprise, then straightened his nose and forced out a smile.
"Okay, I promise to be a guest in your thatched cottage."
Li Siye extended his hand to invite him, and Mansour strode towards the thatched hall. The followers behind him followed closely, standing in two rows on both sides of the road.
He asked someone to arrange the desk table, spread the sheep felt, and he sat at the main seat. Since Mansour did not drink wine, even if the other party did, the low-quality Sanlejiang from Congling Shouzuo Winery would still be a shame in front of others.
What a joke. He could only ask Yu Gou, the only tea maker in Congling, to make tea to entertain the other party.
After all, he is a big foodie, and apart from entertaining him with things he doesn't know about, other things are really not in his eyes.
After he sat down, he realized that he had nothing to say, because behind Mansour stood two attendants in white clothes, one was a translator and the other was a scribe similar to a document. This scene was formal.
Like the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he really didn't know what to do because he had never experienced it.
Li Siye had no choice but to sit upright, as if he could not show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty otherwise. After all, he was also an official of the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Mansour came to Datang this time, but for what reason?"
Mansour pointed to the people outside and said calmly and calmly: "These people you see look like an official caravan, but in fact they are a secret envoy team. I am the envoy to Datang this time.
Envoy. I just met your Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty at the Daming Palace in Chang'an last month."
He then asked in a pretentious manner: "Do you know why I went to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Siye thought for a moment and then asked: "Is it for the purpose of sudden riding?"
Mansour gave him a thumbs up: "It's hard to imagine that a mere guard at the Tang Dynasty's frontier fortress could have such a sharp vision."
Li Siye smiled and said humbly in his heart, "It's really an honor. I just learned history well in my previous life."
"Everywhere, 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 a hero of Tuqishi, but he was born at the wrong time. He is not willing to be attached to the Tang Dynasty or any of us, and he will eventually go to the Tang Dynasty.
Destruction. A villain with a head and two ends of a rat will definitely not last long. He has ambitions like an eagle, but does not have wings like an eagle. It is a pity."
"I went to visit the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of Dashi just to put Sulu into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness. This goal has been achieved. If nothing unexpected happens, this summer the Governor of Khorasan, Roshan Homi, will personally lead an army of 200,000 people.
Let’s start a decisive battle with Sulu. With the protection of Allah, we will surely win.”
Li Siye felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. I dare you to show off your strength in front of me. He replied abruptly to Mansour: "Your caliph has sent people to assassinate you, how can you still run errands for him loyally?"
Allegiance.”
Mansour narrowed his eyes and replied solemnly: "I am not running errands to serve the Umayyad Caliphate, but to promote the will of God, uphold the legacy of the Prophet Muhammad, and spread the glory of God."
Li Siye could only respond with silence. He could not argue with a person who always made excuses for God.
Mansour stood up and said to Li Siye: "We might as well go to the city wall. We have been to Congling twice and have not fully appreciated the scenery of Congling."
Li Siye happily agreed and invited Mansour to the earth wall at the top of the city.
