Raf and his crew returned quickly. Besides hurrying along, they also gathered information along the way. These people were becoming increasingly adept messengers. What if someone asked them about their situation after they returned? They couldn't just say they encountered nothing along the way, could they? If that were the case, the reward wouldn't be very high.
Although the two knew that they could not be die-hard traitors, after all, they had relatives at home. Once the news spread to the south, the whole family might be dragged out and beheaded. But now they had to live and report what they should report. If you don't report it, once others report what you should report, it will be useless even if you know the news.
So now when the two of them do things, they always feel a little difficult, and they don’t know how to do it. They always look before and after when doing something. On the one hand, they are afraid that their families will be retaliated against, and on the other hand, they are afraid that they will lose the opportunity for promotion. In short, their life can be said to be extremely painful.
It took four days for the two to finally return to His Royal Highness's military camp. It seemed that the soldiers were even stronger than when they left. It could be seen from the soldiers' mental outlook that they were much darker than before. In the past, in the Arab Empire army, you could not go out for training if you were told not to. But now, if you try, if you don't go in within the specified time, those Fuso people will beat you so hard that you can't see stars in the daytime. They will not care what your reasons are. If you have physical problems, they will even bury you alive.
Before these two people came back, no one else came back, which meant that those who delivered the letter had failed. Of course, it was also possible that they had not returned yet. After all, the places everyone went to were far and near, so it was unreasonable to judge that they had failed now.
After the messenger left, His Royal Highness the Prince was extremely nervous. After all, he had never communicated with these officials before, and they were not even familiar with him. He was just an ordinary website address. Those people might have heard of his name but had never met him. It was a bit ridiculous to expect them to surrender just by writing a letter.
So His Royal Highness didn't know how to face this outcome. If no one surrendered, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty think he was useless? If that were the case, then he would be finished. He had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but if the Tang Dynasty suddenly thought he was useless, would they still treat him the same way?
You have to know that although the treatment he receives now is not worthy of the title of a prince, it is far different from when he was escaping. At least he has five or six maids around him. Although all of them were robbed, it is still much better than having a bunch of masters serving him. It is like returning to the palace. Everything is the same except that there is no splendor of the palace around him.
After receiving the news about Laf and Sambik, His Royal Highness the Prince was very happy. He immediately ordered his men to reward the two men and report the news to General Sima. Although General Sima was just a small staff general, everyone in the barracks knew that this guy was actually His Royal Highness the Prince's emperor. You can disobey His Royal Highness the Prince's orders, but you cannot disobey this guy's orders.
His own martial arts skills are amazing. During the training last month, he had demonstrated his strength in the military camp, which scared the people of the Arab Empire. They had never seen such a brave man, so some people who wanted to make trouble dared not say a word.
Then he brought in 1,500 Fuso soldiers. The skills of these Fuso soldiers were also very good, especially they would shout and yell at every turn. If a cold weapon battle really came up, the two sides would probably be about the same.
The most hated people in the military camp now are these Japanese soldiers. They serve as training instructors and never let you idle almost all the time. They want to use all your strength. If you want to be lazy for a while, it is absolutely impossible.
General Sima was sleeping in his tent. When he heard the noise outside, he immediately sat up with some dissatisfaction. Matsumoto Yasuken, who was guarding outside the tent, was also anxious. The general finally got some sleep, but you guys just have no eyesight. If you don't serve the general well, it will be the dereliction of duty of us Fuso soldiers.
The guy immediately took out his stick. If he hadn't seen His Royal Highness the Prince, he would have been beaten up. You damn Arabs, you specially come here when our general is sleeping. But seeing His Royal Highness the Prince so happy, Matsumoto Yasuken knew that something important was going on, so he didn't dare to stop him. The reason why General Sima used him was because this guy knew how to advance and retreat. If he didn't know at all, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"General, one of the messengers I sent out has finally returned. His name is Atez..."
His Royal Highness the Prince began to report his work very excitedly. It was indeed a bit ridiculous for a prince to report to a general, but it was the fact, and the people around him did not feel anything wrong. If the prince was down and out, he was no different from an ordinary person. If the general was strong, it was normal for him to give orders to a prince.
It took nearly an incense stick of time for His Royal Highness the Prince to finish reporting the matter. Sima Jun's face was a little uncertain. This person should be testing us, but since he wrote a letter, we should fight for it. The only one who should be unhappy is his position.
If this guy was closer to us, we could immediately order him to bring his men over to surrender. Unfortunately, he is still two or three days away from us, and there are two other cities in between, and those two cities have not yet expressed their stance. If we rashly order Atez to take his men on the road, they are likely to be attacked in the middle.
"Wait two days, then send someone to look for the two cities closest to us. If you see the messenger's head, then let your men practice and take these two cities for me. By the way, let Atez's people join your camp..."
