Li Hong now has two heavy, golden tokens in his hand. One was given by Aviye in front of him, and the other was naturally given by Hassan three days ago.
The reason why the two people gave the tokens was exactly the same, that is, if Li Hong encountered any obstacles on his way back to Tang Dynasty, he could show his token and use it unimpeded.
But Li Hong obviously didn't believe what Aviya and Hassan said. He killed the Sultan and helped them disintegrate the Hashemite family, and then allowed them to send him back to his country safe and sound
Let’s dream! This is simply impossible, and Li Hong himself never thought that he could return to Datang smoothly.
It would be good if Hassan and Aviye did not pursue and block him, and even if these two people really did not chase and block him, other nobles who watched the show after the civil war between them would probably be inspired by them to respond to him. On the road to Datang, let's pursue and intercept them.
Weighing this heavy token in his hand, if this era was not still the era of cold weapons, Li Hong would even doubt that Hassan and Aviye would have hidden traces in these two golden tokens. Locator.
But fortunately, since Li Hong dared to do this, dared to make deals with Aviya and Hassan openly, and dared to take on the task of dismantling the Hashim family, he naturally had a backup plan to return to the Tang Dynasty. , that is Kordo, another nobleman of Dashi.
They laughed tacitly with Aviye. Both of them felt proud that their plots had succeeded. Seeing that the other party's hard-to-gnaw bone was finally taken down by themselves, they felt indescribably happy. .
A grand dinner at the palace. In the eyes of Li Hong and Aviye, this was the last time they could sit together and drink and chat in peace.
Yeyue was baffled by Aviye's proposal to follow Li Hong back to the Tang Dynasty. After all, Aviye had never told herself or Li Hong clearly that he would marry him to the Tang Dynasty.
Although his father still didn't let go this time, didn't acting like this mean that he had allowed his relationship with Li Hong
Although the shameless man now held his struggling little hand without any scruples in front of his father, his father's face only showed a hint of embarrassment in his stiff smile, but didn't he really object?
It is up to Li Hong to decide when to leave. This is what Aviye told Yeyue. If Yeyue wants to go to Tanglou these days, there is no problem. She even doesn’t have to say goodbye to herself when leaving. Today’s dinner will be considered. It was father and daughter saying goodbye.
"What on earth did you say to my father? Why did he suddenly agree that I would go back to the Tang Dynasty with you?" Yeyue and Li Hong just stepped out of Aviye's palace and immediately grabbed Li Hong's sleeve and asked.
"I guess your father didn't want to see us suffering from lovesickness while living apart from each other, so he just opened up a little bit." Li Hong wanted to put his arms around Yeyue's slender and soft waist, but Yeyue slapped her with one hand. opened.
"Liar, that's definitely not the case. What did you do to my father? What did you promise to my father? Why did he agree?" Yeyue kept chattering and did not stop talking about this topic all the way out of the palace.
As soon as the two of them reached the door of the palace, they saw one of Saleh's servants standing respectfully at the door waiting for them.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please come over to discuss matters." The servant first saluted Yeyue, and then saluted Li Hong.
Li Hong glanced at the man, and then glanced thoughtfully at Ye Yue, who was thinking strangely with his head tilted to the side. He only heard Ye Yue say: "Is it my brother Wang who wants to give it to me?" How about farewell?"
"I remembered it when you mentioned this. Did your brother Wang give you 90,000 dinars?" Li Hong suddenly remembered the bet he had made with Saleh a few days ago and looked at Ye Yue. She said with her beautiful eyes exposed.
"I didn't ask for it." Yeyue replied angrily. She didn't know what trick this guy used against Brother Wang, but he actually made Brother Wang send him 90,000 dinars inexplicably, but in the end, he was beaten by him. Refused.
Under the leadership of the servant, the carriage drove slowly into the palace. It did not stop at the stone door where it was supposed to get off the car and walk in. It drove straight into the door of the meeting hall of the palace.
This was the first time Li Hong saw Saleh's princess. Although she was covered with a veil, from her slim figure and her eyes, she could still tell that Saleh was very beautiful. Obviously, this princess was also a big girl. beauty.
Yeyue saw Li Hong staring straight at Wang's wife, and secretly pinched Li Hong's waist: "Hey, you want to die, why are you staring at my brother's princess?"
"I wonder why she's not as good-looking as you? Why can't any of the women I've seen in Dashi compare with you?" Li Hongtian shamelessly praised his beauty in front of Saleh and the princess. Sweetheart.
Yeyue was so irritated after hearing these words, Saleh curled his lips in disdain. Fortunately, Saleh's princess did not understand Tang dialect, so Yeyue's veiled cheeks did not appear to be... Too angry.
"You and your sister-in-law Wang go for a walk in the garden. This time we are going to the Tang Dynasty. Your sister-in-law Wang is very reluctant to leave you. Let's talk to your sister-in-law for a while." Saleh looked at his princess dotingly. He said calmly as if he were holding hands and talking.
Yeyue nodded lightly to Saleh, and then walked to the garden behind with Saleh's princess, accompanied by her servants.
As Li Hong and Saleh watched the two women's figures disappearing away, their ears could hear the faint laughter of the two women, as well as the inaudible words.
Saleh directly stopped Li Hong at the entrance of the palace, which surprised him. He originally thought that considering Aviye's suspicion, Saleh would choose to go to the tenement building to meet him secretly, but he did not expect that Saleh would dare to Directly, he connected himself to his father's palace under his nose.
However, when Li Hong watched Yeyue's figure and the princess's figure disappear around the corner, he somewhat understood why Saleh dared to stop him at the entrance of the palace. It was obviously a good excuse to see Yeyue off.
Li Hong did not ask why Saleh dared to stop him at the gate of the palace, and why he knew the news that he would return to Datang in the near future. After all, he had released the news himself.
Everyone knows that they cannot stay in Dashi for a long time, so if the nobles of Dashi still stand still and continue to waste time with themselves, I cannot afford to waste time with them.
So it is better to spread the news that he is going back to the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the nobles with ulterior motives, including Aviye who wants to suppress the nobles, will obviously not watch as a free thug like him does nothing for them. Do anything and leave.
As for the agreement between Hassan and himself, Li Hong believed or didn't believe it, but no matter what, he had to leave Dashi. Anyway, the current conflicts between the nobles and the royal family in Dashi have been caused by the two chiefs of Khawalij and The death of the second prince of the royal family has become more intense, and the head-on conflict has begun. Large-scale conflicts are just a matter of time, and there is concern that the Hashim family will benefit from it.
"Have you seen Hassan?" Saleh asked, looking into Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong did not deny it. He nodded to him calmly and admitted that he had met Hassan.
"Is he still eating?"
"Of course in Dashi, since Malik has been killed, he has no way out. The conflict with your royal family has broken out, so he can only continue forward." Li Hong said easily.
"If I asked you to help my father..."
"Forget it, this is your feast. The strong dragon can't overpower the local snake. Besides, Hassan's strength is not something that only 3,000 people like me can do and then escape unscathed, right?" Li Hong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Saleh, who was hesitant.
"So you choose Sudan."
"Isn't it good for you?"
"But you have received the most gifts from him, more than the other nobles combined. Only the Sultan and his father have the closest contact with you during this period. They will go to the tenement house to visit you every now and then. You do this , Aren't you afraid of having a bad conscience?" Saleh said looking at Li Hong with some contempt.
"Are you making trouble? Sultan and his father go to the tenement building the most and give the most gifts. Their purpose is nothing more than to use me. Is there any friendship here? Just like between you and me, if it weren't for Yeyue, do you think I'll help you get rid of a competitor and then sneak back to the Tang Dynasty with everyone shouting and beating you?"
"But Hassan is stronger than Sudan. It's Hassan I'm afraid of, not Sudan." Saleh was silent for a while, and then he spoke his mind. This was probably his last chance to persuade Li Hong. , so he stopped beating around the bush and continued: "As long as you can help me become the King of Food, I can give you the territory east of Jiling City. Coupled with your relationship with Yeyue, by then our two countries will We will live forever, you will be the emperor in Datang, and I will be the king in Dashi. As long as the two of us join forces, the whole world will be ours."
Li Hong looked at Saleh who was serious about his business without saying a word with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. He didn't expect that this guy's ambition was so great!
Even a gluttonous monarch cannot satisfy his appetite, yet he still wants to dominate the world! According to the strength of Dashi's military, Li Hong didn't know whether Saleh's performance was arrogant or confident.
But in any case, Saleh's ideals are obviously much greater than that of himself, the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty who is content with the status quo. After all, compared with him, he is like a wealthy and secure monarch without ideals.
Fortunately, he is not a monarch who is content with the status quo. He also knows that being content with the status quo is a sign of imminent backwardness and decline, so he also knows how to continue to strengthen his own strength at home so that he can always remain stronger than anyone or any country. OK.
