Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 217 There is no way out
Xue Shouli was walking on the streets of Bukhara, followed by two Xue family children. The three bought some cakes at a snack shop, and each ordered a bowl of mutton soup.

The city of Bukhara was very peaceful, no different from usual, no tension at all in the restaurants or on the street.

It was originally rumored that Ju'er Khan was ten feet tall and would eat a pair of virgin boys and girls for a meal, but it was also regarded as a joke.

Xue Shouli took a sip of the mutton soup sullenly, and then regained control of himself not to laugh out loud on the spot. The king is already ready to win the battle immediately, and the people here still don't know anything about it.

"This Dihkan, go straight to the north, pass through Santiao Street, and you will be the residence of the clerk of Beicheng!"

Xue Sili tossed two copper coins, and the boy from the restaurant enthusiastically showed them the way.

The North City clerk is Prince Hamid's secret confidant, and this is the information provided by Salah.

The secret letter written by Salah will also be handed over to the clerk before he will hand it to Prince Hamid.

"Thank you! Thank you, little brother! Ali Hamduli! (All be to Allah!)"

Xue Sili wiped his mouth, and thanked the boy from the food shop with a smile all over his face.

He looks like a mixed race of Eastern Iranians and Turks, and he is proficient in daily religious blessings. He looks no different from the Bukhara people who believe in Allah.

"Ali Hamdu Lier!" The little guy was flattered and responded to these rural dihkans who came from Juzhan and planned to buy some real estate in Beicheng.

"Let's go! Be careful!" Xue Shouli said to the brothers beside him, and then looked up in the direction of Alka Forbidden City.

One hundred and fifty years ago, it was from there that the order was issued, and a hundred thousand warriors rushed into the country of Rahana.

From then on, their Xue family could only go far away, from the Xue family of the king of Bahana to the Xue family of the descendants of the Anxi army.

"Si Li, Tong Li, you two stay outside and let me deliver it alone. After the matter is successful, I will ask someone to hang a piece of red silk cloth at the door.

But if you don't see the red silk cloth at this time tomorrow, go back to Bahan immediately. "

As he said that, Xue Shouli took a deep breath, "One day, we will come back, and we will come back to get back everything we had from the people in Alka Forbidden City."

. . . .

Late at night, in the castle, Prince Hamid was holding a piece of parchment, his whole body trembling with anger, his fingers turned white from the extreme force.

The content on the parchment was a top-secret message that he passed to him secretly in the Forbidden City of Alka.

Grand Wazir Bal Ami quietly entered the palace yesterday evening and proposed to his father Nasr II that the Gulam Guards stationed in the south of Bukhara and the Gulam Guards stationed in Samarkand The Mu Guards are exchanged with each other, and it is necessary to form a practice that they will be exchanged every three years.

Although it is the Great Salar who controls all the Gulam Guards, in fact, Prince Hamid can control only the Gulam Guards stationed in Bukhara. After all, even if he is the Great Salar, But also obey the Emil.

Therefore, the Gulam Guards in Samarkand and other cities are not so close to him. Most of the middle and upper-level officers in these Gulam Guards are directly appointed by Emir Nasr II. Take orders from the Emir.

The Gulam guards in the southern city of Bukhara, led by his brother-in-law Hussein, are the elite of the entire Gulam of Bukhara.

They are the guarantee of Prince Hamid's survival. Without the protection of these Ghulam, he would not have known how many times he had been executed.

This is not changing defenses, this is killing Hamid!
"Father! Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to do this? I have been a well-behaved crown prince for 20 years. Why do I lose my life in the end?"

Prince Hamid's eyes were red and he muttered in a low voice. In his heart, the father who took him to hunt on horseback and accompanied him in Hutubai (Tianfangjiao ceremony) when he was a child has disappeared.

Instead, there was a terrifying existence that could kill him at any time.

"His Royal Highness, General Hussein and Secretary Lahore came through a secret passage and said that there is an extremely important matter that we must meet with you!"

Just when Prince Hamid felt infinite dissatisfaction with King Nasr II, the personal attendant outside the door reported softly.

"Quickly ask them to go to the secret room, just say that I will be there in a while."

Prince Hamid quickly picked up his mood, and wiped the wet corners of his eyes that almost slipped out of tears with the corner of his clothes.

Both Hussain and Lahore are his most confidant ministers, and they must have something very important to come together at this moment.

"Honorable Khan of the Khans, the emissary of His Majesty Ju'er Khan, Xue Shouli from Juzhanti, has met Prince Hamid!"

Prince Hamid was horrified when he saw the man in front of him who looked similar to him but spoke fluent Turkic and claimed to be the messenger of Juer Khan.

He looked at Hussein and Lahore suspiciously, not understanding how they would bring Ju'er Khan's envoy to this secret place.

"Has the Juzhanti Juzhanti been lost?"

Hamid asked softly, the messenger claimed to be from Juzhanti, does that mean that Juzhanti is gone.

"His Royal Highness looks surprised? Adulal's 200 troops have been completely annihilated, and Salah Hakem took only [-] people to take office. Do you expect him to hold the battle?"

Xue Shouli smiled faintly, and asked Prince Hamid back.

"You are lying! Juzhan mentioned that I have been there, it is stronger than Samarkand, even if there are only a few thousand defenders, it is not so easy to be breached! Where did you come from?"

Prince Hamid shouted loudly, with a stern look on his face.

"His Royal Highness, you should read the secret letter from Sarah Hakem first! After reading the letter, His Royal Highness will no longer follow you, entangled in the question of whether it still exists or not."

Xue Shouli handed the secret parchment letter to Prince Hamid's attendant. Prince Hamid's eyelids twitched, and he had a vague premonition.

Sure enough, after reading the secret letter, the expression on Prince Hamid's face was wonderful, a little angry, but also a little bit excited. Of course, it was more distrust.

"Your Majesty Ju'er Khan may have found the wrong person. As the crown prince of Saman Persia and the heir to this great dynasty, I have nothing but respect for Emir's father.

Besides, Amir was only bewitched by treacherous ministers, as wise as he is, one day he will see through those traitors' slander against me. "

Xue Shouli sneered twice, and spread his hands at the two people around him.

"General Hussein, Secretary Lahore, it seems that His Royal Highness doesn't trust me very much, and he can say things that he doesn't even believe himself.

But it's normal, because many people don't have the vision that can see through everything like His Majesty Ju'er Khan.

But I want to remind the two of you and His Royal Highness, if you wait until the raised butcher knife falls, and try to resist again, it will be too late. "

After Xue Shouli finished speaking, Prince Hamid did not speak or express any dissatisfaction, but Hussein stood up and tapped his fingers on the table.

"If, I mean, if everything Ju'er Khan predicted is correct, and we are willing to accept Ju'er Khan's help, then why should we believe His Majesty the Great Khan is telling the truth?
No amount of treasure can compare to the temptation to capture Bukhara? "

"Good question! This shows that General Hussein is aware of the danger." Xue Shouli nodded.

"But if you can understand the territory that Ju'er Khan ruled, there will be no such worries.

Because Ju'er Khan has already owned more than half of the Kara Khanate, including Suiye and Shule, as well as the entire Khotan Jin Kingdom and Pullhana Kingdom, the vast territory is far better than that of your country.

However, there are only two to three million subjects living in such a large country. If Bukhara is captured again, where should we find people to maintain the rule?

Moreover, Buglahan Saktu was not defeated, he fled to the farther north, to put it bluntly, the enemy of Juer Khan is Buglahan Saktu, and Prince Hamid. "

Xue Shouli didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious. In his heart, Prince Hamid was not qualified to be Ju'er Khan's enemy.

Furious, Hussein pulled out the scimitar from his waist, "Although you are the emissary of Ju'er Khan, if you say such things again, I will show you the wrath of the Samans! "

"Let go of the messenger, my general, words cannot hurt a true king!"

The flushed Prince Hamid almost squeezed out these words through his teeth, because he already believed in the sincerity of the deal.

"Please forgive Your Highness, I didn't mean it, it's just because in my heart, Ju'er Khan's talent is roughly better than all the monarchs in the world."

Xue Shouli straightened his collar and gave him a good blow, so of course he had to comfort him.

The arrogance of Prince Hamid on the opposite side has faded a lot, and the negotiation can continue.

"The prince should believe what I say, because it is more than [-] miles from Shule to Bukhara, and more than [-] miles from Shule to Suiye. Such a long distance is very unfavorable to the rule.

What His Majesty Ju'er Khan needs is wealth that can reward the warriors. As for the territory, we already have enough.

Besides, are the [-] Gulam guards in the hands of His Royal Highness all lambs?We can do whatever we want? "

Prince Hamid stared at Xue Shouli, and nodded slowly after a while, but then frowned again.

"Ju'er Khan may be out of reach for Bukhara now, but what about in the future? After the population multiplies, you will still come to attack Bukhara!"

"Hehe!" Xue Shouli imitated Zhang Zhao's expression and laughed meaningfully a few times.

"His Royal Highness is already at this time, and you still want to talk about the future with me? If you don't have the support of Ju'er Khan, do you still have a future?

The [-] guards in the Forbidden City of Alka ensure the safety of the Emir, but how long can the [-] Gulam guards under the prince protect you?Can they break through the Forbidden City of Arka?Will they even fight blood for you?

I am afraid that after Grand Wazir Baal Ami and others cut off your military power, the present of His Royal Highness will no longer exist, so what is the future? "

"Your Highness, the envoy is right. According to His Highness Emil's behavior, we may lose the present soon, and those who follow you will die without a place to bury them!" The secretary who has been silent Guan Lahore couldn't help but speak.

However, Prince Hamid, who was sitting in the seat, still frowned and did not speak. His father Nasr II was too aggressive towards him. Even at this moment, it was difficult for Prince Hamid to make up his mind to resist.

He even had some expectations in his heart, maybe his father Nasr II would not approve this deployment plan.

"I came here a certain way, and I heard that His Royal Highness Emir Nasr II is in very good health, and it is said that there is no problem in living another 30 years.

Your Highness has been the crown prince for 20 years, even if His Highness the Emir trusts you, the prince may wish to think about it, what will it be like to be the crown prince for another 30 years?
Is there a crown prince of 50 years in the world?
By then, both General Hussein and the Lahore clerk will be in their sixties, and most of your cronies will be old or even dead.

They followed His Highness the prince all their lives, but in the end they didn't even enjoy a day of wealth. I'm afraid they will die in peace, right? "

This is the big killer, Prince Hamid's face turned pale in an instant, the crown prince of 50 years!It sounds terrible.

By then he will be almost 70 years old, and he even suspects that even if he simply lives, he may not be able to live for 30 years.

Hussain and Lahore turned even paler. Why did they follow Prince Hamid?
It's not because His Royal Highness the prince will become emir one day, so that their wealth can go one step further.

But if after 30 years, no one is there, you are still rich!
"Your Highness, please make a decision! We have no other choice!" The two knelt on one knee at the same time and said in unison.
