Two hundred and ninety seventh chapter hero's end

Since the rainy season, the Seljuk, located in Central Asia, does not have the climate of the southern world with continuous rain and no sun for months, but once you encounter the sun, although it is short, it is always a kind of heavy rain that makes people feel bad. Facing the dazzling sunshine after the rain, the horse's hooves are constantly trampling on the bumpy road that is rained by the rain. Morrissey's mood sitting on the horse's back is probably only described in tragedy. Since he escaped from Mulu City, Allah Allah seems to have no longer blessed him, especially

It was on the way to Baghdad from Apiverd to Baghdad, after the encounter with Zhang Qing, his mother, his women, and his children, except for Oriandin, who were still even more by his side, were all captured by the Song army. Two months later, they are probably in danger. Morrisey covered his chest, which was still aching with one hand, and pulled the reins with the other hand, as he sat down the horse, and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, while constantly swaying his unhealed body.

This place is called Malagai, which is not very large in the territory of the Seljuk Turkic State. It has emerged because it is close to a lake called Urumier in Persia. The city of Malagai, which has a fishery, seems a little behind in other aspects. Rather than saying that this is a city, it is better to say that it is a relatively large and convenient town with very convenient transportation. The wooden walls and gates cannot stop any army's attack.

Morrissey did not go to Baghdad, but chose to come to the Marague area in the opposite direction. Because when he was heading to Baghdad, he encountered many refugees heading north. He heard those refugees say that a large number of warships of the Song Empire appeared on the surface of the Tigris River. Basra, Baghdad, and even Sumore had all fallen. Therefore, Morrissey had to temporarily change the route and go north. Perhaps in the north, his country might have such a bright future. Maybe you will ask, it's time.

Why didn't Morrissey go back to his new capital, Constantinople? Because Morrissey himself seemed to have realized a problem. The Song army warships had appeared on the surface of the Tigris River. So would there be no Song army warships on the surface of the Youlates River? Moreover, the upper reaches of the Youlates River run through the entire Seljuk. Even if he advances to Constantinople, he may collide with the Song army on the surface of the river. Therefore, Morrissey had to drag his unhealed body to the city of Maragai.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty Sultan's health has been getting worse day by day. Since the last encounter with the enemy's ghost cavalry, His Majesty Sultan has been seriously injured. Moreover, Empress Dowager Guerhan has been captured by the Song general named Zhang Qing. At that time, His Majesty Sultan was already in a state of despair. If he was not the Sultan of this country, he would have left long ago." While the doctor who was accompanying the army checked Morrisey's health, Sabulahei said to Oriandin outside the room.

Oriandin held the sword on his waist with one hand, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his big hand tightly, and said to Sabulahei: "We can't do this anymore. We must use the fastest to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, and before the enemy surrounds us, we return to Asia Minor and Constantinople, where we still have at least 100,000 elite troops waiting for us, and the Song people have been expeditioning here without a base for the people, but we are legitimate royal family. As long as we work hard to govern, we can definitely fight the enemy to the end."

"What should I do with Empress Dowager Guerhan, Princess, and Princess? Will I leave them alone?"

"After so long, I'm afraid they are already in danger. Forget it, just think that they all sacrificed their lives for the country and returned to Allah." Oriandin lowered his head and said to Sabulahe without seeing any expression.

Sabulash did not take Oliandin's words, and both of them seemed to be in silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but Doctor Jun walked out of the room. After seeing this, Oriandin hurriedly stepped forward and asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is my father doing.”

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Sultan's old injuries have not healed. He has been in heavy rain and has been bumping all the way. He has been having a high fever, his whole body is twitching, and he is accompanied by constant vomiting. This should be acute meningitis, and his mind is a little unclear. However, this city may not have such suitable medicinal materials, and the medicines we accompany the army may not be able to cause the illness of His Majesty the Sultan. Therefore, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you should prepare for the funeral of His Majesty the Sultan." After speaking, the Seljuk doctor who accompanied the army gently stroked his chest and left the place that was changed to a temporary palace.

"O... Allah... Allah..." As soon as the imperial physician who was accompanying the army left, Morrisey's weak voice came from the room.

"His Highness Oriandin, he heard our conversation," said Sabulash.

Without taking over Sabayashi's words, Oriandin pushed open the door and walked into the room quickly. Looking at his father lying on the sickbed, he now had no majesty that a sultan should have. His deep eye sockets, gray head, and a haggard face, as if a withered tree was about to leave the world anytime and anywhere.

"Father." Oriandin walked forward quickly, knelt gently beside his father and gently pulled his hand.

"Allah, forgive my sins..."

"Father, don't do this. We still have a chance. We haven't lost yet." Oliandin comforted Morrisey.

Morrisey raised his hand tremblingly, touched Oliandin's face and said weakly, "Oliandin, my son, I am no longer able to do it. Allah is calling me, Oliandin, I am going to be free, but you have to bear all the sufferings I have left behind. I am not a good father."

"No, Father, I am proud of you as my father." Oriandin held back tears filled with eyes and said to Oriandin strongly.

"My son, from today on, you will be the Sultan of Seljuk. Lead our people to live well. I want to go to Allah." After Morrisey said this, the hand that caressed Oriandin's face fell heavily. A king of a great empire ended his life in aggrieved manner. Perhaps he didn't know that after his death, there was not even a decent coffin, only a lake surrounded by the breeze, and as a torch fell, this raft carrying the king with the most military achievements of Seljuk slowly drifted to the center of the lake. The fire reflected his desolation. As for the achievements and demerits of Sultan of Morrisey, it was probably only future generations to comment on.

"Your Majesty Sultan, what will we do next?" Sablahei asked Oriandin, who had just become the Sultan of Seljuk.

Without a solemn and precise ceremony of the throne, and without the cheers and applause of the people, Oriandin was appointed as the new sultan of the Seljuk. His Majesty Oriandin, who had just ascended the throne and became the Sultan of the Seljuk, said to his imperial general, Sabulash, "I have already said that we must return to Constantinople as quickly as possible, and there are also the elite army of more than 100,000 in our country, and all the towns on the west bank of the Youlates River, so we must rush across the Youlates River and return to Asia Minor before the Song people surrounded us, General Sabulash and ordered the army to be decorated, and we will leave immediately."

The fast horse galloped, and the swaying left, Oriandin followed his army with all his heart, and took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to quickly pass the source of the Youlate River and gallop towards Constantinople. When the Song army's naval cruising at the source of the Youlate River reacted, Oriandin had already taken his army away with his army.
