Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2911
Changsun Jun ignored this and said, "No hurry, first find us a place to stay, unload the cargo, and then have a good rest."

"Okay, everyone, come with me."

Abdullah took Changsun Jun and others through the streets and alleys to a place in the east of the city where there are many warehouses.

This city of Damascus is full of merchants. Horses, carts, ox carts, and camels shuttle through the city non-stop. All kinds of livestock and human feces are covered on both sides of the street. The larger main road is okay, but those alleys are really smelly. Xun Tian, ​​this is still the case in the severe winter, but the situation in summer is unimaginable...

The most terrible thing is that these big cannibals don't care about such poor sanitary conditions at all. Even if they accidentally stepped on the steaming feces while walking, they just stomped their feet and didn't care.

Changsun Jun covered his nose all the way, the smell made him almost vomit.

In comparison, even those local prefectures and counties in Datang are much cleaner than this...

The longing for Damascus in my heart has completely disappeared, and I still had a hope to see the western name, but now I am in the scene, I suddenly feel that it is nothing more than that, I can't wait to finish the characters that my father gave me as soon as possible, and then set off on my way home.

Chang'an, which is spacious, thick, and full of feasting and feasting, is the place where nobles like him should stay. That Abdullah even said that in Damascus, "If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus must be in it; if heaven is in space, Damascus and Damascus must be in it." It is as famous", and even more bragging about "whoever the gods love, they will settle in Damascus"...

Can this be heaven?

If the "God" has seen the majesty of Chang'an Luoyang and the prosperity of Gusu Qiantang, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he will not be able to say such words...

After settling down, most of the day passed.

Changsun Jun took Abdullah to find a restaurant and dealt with it. He didn't want to eat those weird things, but he just asked for a leg of lamb with sour wine. Barely ate a meal.

At this moment, Chang Sun Jun was even more powerless to complain. The sentence "God loves whoever he loves will be settled in Damascus" is simply nonsense. In his opinion, the "God" will only get him if he hates him to the core. This Damascus suffers.

Just thinking about the delicious food in Chang'an, Changsun Jun is eager to return home, and he can't stay for a moment...

Wiping his mouth, he looked at Abdullah and asked, "Do you really have a relative who is a general?"

Abdullah swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded and said: "It's true, I'm not lying, is there anything you want to do, young master?"

Changsun Jun skillfully took out a jade pendant from his pocket, and put it in front of Abdullah: "I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. I came all the way, and met bandits and robbed me on the way. I got rid of it after a fight, but I also lost it." So, if you can help me meet Mu'awiyah, not only this jade pendant, but all the goods I'm carrying this time will be yours."

"..."

Subconsciously, Abdullah seemed to refuse.

What are you kidding?Today, Mu'awiyah is already the caliph of the Great Food Kingdom. He has just returned from the holy land of Mecca. It is said that he is worried that the loyalists of the previous caliph will come to assassinate him. Therefore, the entire palace is extremely tightly guarded. How can anyone see it? ?

But looking at the jade pendant on the table, it is the top-quality suet white jade, which can only be owned by the most noble nobles in the entire Dashi Kingdom.

And those light and gorgeous silks and porcelains as white as jade that were unloaded into the warehouse just now...

Abdullah swallowed hard, thought for a while, and said: "I can't decide on this matter, you give me this jade pendant, and then I will take it to meet my relatives to see if I can impress you." He asked him to find a way. You just came to Damascus, and you don’t know the situation in the city, and Mu’awiyah just took office as caliph, and the regime is not stable, so it’s not easy for anyone to see him.”

As for whether he can accomplish things with this jade pendant...he will not make a promise.

Anyway, this Damascus is his land, without his help, the Han man in front of him would have no chance of seeing Mu'awiyah at all.

He was determined to eat this Han man, not only the jade pendant, but also the silk and porcelain, he had to swallow it into his stomach...

Changsun Jun looked at Abdullah and said with a smile: "My family is a powerful family in the Tang Dynasty, with countless wealth. This time I came to Damascus at the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but lost the seal of the state letter halfway. This is a serious crime. So as long as You can help me meet Mu'awiyah Khalifa, not only this property, but when I return to Datang, you can walk with me in person, and when I arrive in Chang'an, I will double my gratitude, never Go back on your word."

Abdullah's heart was pounding and his lips were dry.

Are all Tang people so rich?The value of this jade pendant is almost equal to that of the silk, and there are so many porcelains, and it has to be doubled...

"You are waiting for me!"

Abdullah couldn't hold back his desire for wealth anymore, put the jade pendant into his bosom, got up and trotted out of the restaurant, looking for his brother who was the general guarding the city.

In the dining room, the attendant said worriedly: "My lord, that jade pendant is very valuable. If this person is greedy and refuses to do anything after taking possession of it..."

Changsun Jun waved his hand and sighed: "It's just a jade pendant, even if it's ten pieces of silk and ten jade pendants, what's the big deal? This place is filthy, dirty and poor, and even the food can't be swallowed. With this wine, tsk tsk... I don't want to stay for a day. Let this Abdullah try it. If it doesn't work, let's find another way. Barbarians regard money as life, so many of us Silk and porcelain, there is always someone who can lead the line."

Naturally, I dare not say more.

This young man is usually pampered and pampered. He has traveled thousands of miles to Damascus, and he may have had enough of the crimes he suffered along the way. If he was not worried about the punishment of the Patriarch, he would have turned back halfway... Now that he has arrived in Damascus, how much will he give up? Money doesn't matter, as long as the task is done well, it will be regarded as the completion of merit.

Returning to the residence, Chang Sun Jun threw the bedding full of weird smells on the ground in disgust, and lay on the bed wrapped in the blanket he took from Qin Changgeng. Fortunately, his followers found some firewood and lit it in the fireplace , otherwise he could be frozen to death...

He fell into a drowsy sleep, and when he woke up, he saw that it was getting dark outside, and he was feeling weak.

No green salt to rinse mouth, no clean water to wash, no maid to comb hair... When the eldest grandson was pulling his hair to catch lice, there was a rush of footsteps outside, someone knocked on the door and came in, just going back and forth Abdullah.

Changsun Jun lifted his spirits and asked, "How?"

Abdullah looked embarrassed, sighed, and said: "My brother said that this matter is unusual, too difficult, and almost impossible. He wants to meet you."

Sun Jun has heard this kind of talk countless times throughout the day, so don't care about everything in front of it, just pay attention to the last sentence.

If it is impossible, why should I meet with myself?
Changsun Jun immediately stood up, put on his fur, and said, "Lead the way."

As long as he can see Muawiya complete the task his father gave him, he is willing to pay any price, but he just wants to return to Chang'an quickly and leave this damn Damascus...

Abdullah was overjoyed, seeing Changsun Jun's expression felt more relieved, as long as you are in a hurry, as long as you are in a hurry, we have to make a big deal...

*****
In a house in the city, Changsun Jun met the general who was said to be the Abdullah brother, Azmi.

Azmi is about thirty years old, with a curly beard on his face, his face is greasy as if he hasn't washed his face for half a year, his hair is wrapped in a white scarf, and the white catty has become dirty and pale yellow...

Although his image was not good enough, sitting behind the table with his back straight, and his bull's eyes gleaming like copper bells, he had the aura of a general in charge of the army.

Changsun Jun entered the room, bowed and saluted: "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty lost his official letter and was unable to meet His Majesty the Caliph, so he begged the general for help. After the matter is completed, there must be a reward."

Azmi hummed, and said, "Abdullah has already told you about your situation, and I know it in my heart, please sit down."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Changsun Jun jumped off.

The general in Damascus actually spoke fluent Chinese. Although his accent was as weird as Abdullah's, he could really understand it.

After a few breaths, Chang Sun Jun calmly sat opposite Azmi.

Azmi looked Changsun Jun up and down with a pair of eyes, and didn't speak. He looked at Changsun Jun until his heart trembled. Suddenly, Azmi said: "A group of Han merchants were robbed and killed in the sand dunes fifty miles outside the city this morning. And set fire to burn the corpse... You did it, right? Robbing merchants, killing people and taking goods, in Damascus, this is a capital crime, and it must be hanged!"

Changsun Jun almost jumped up in fright!
