"I can convince Your Majesty that your Majesty will write a letter to the Byzantine Emperor to mediate the conflict between you and the Byzantine Empire. I hope you can work together to deal with the great cannibals. I wonder what you think?" Li Xiu squinted his eyes and glanced at Missia and Bahra in front of him, and said in a gentle tone.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Bahra couldn't help but feel happy. If the Tang Dynasty was willing to mediate, it would be a way to repair the relationship with Byzantine. However, he couldn't help but look at Misia next to him again, because he didn't know who Li Xiu would give this opportunity? After all, from the beginning to now, Li Xiu has not clearly expressed his support for one of them.

"Duke of Yan, Byzantium is even further away from your Tang Dynasty. Do you think that just a letter from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can make the Byzantines give up their hatred for our Persia?" At this moment, Missia, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised her head and asked.

"Indeed, Byzantium is too far from our Tang Dynasty. Most Byzantines may not have heard of our Tang Dynasty. But I believe that if the Byzantine emperors really have vision and vision, they will definitely pay attention to the suggestions of our Tang Dynasty. In addition, this matter cannot be solely based on our Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is the sincerity of you Persians. After all, the alliance is good for you, otherwise you will all become sacrifices to the great cannibals in the future!" Li Xiu nodded first when he heard this, and then said very seriously.

"Duke Yan is right. His Majesty's letter from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can only give us a chance to Persia. The most important thing is whether we can seize this opportunity. If Duke Yan can give us this opportunity, I, Bahra, are willing to ask the general to go on a mission to Byzantium in person to fight for the alliance between the two countries and fight for the great food together!" Bahra is worthy of being a businessman and is very good at seizing opportunities. He immediately expressed his opinion to Li Xiu.

"I... I am willing to take the initiative to go on the mission to Byzantium, and ask Duke Yan to hand over this opportunity to us!" Missia immediately became a little panicked when she heard Bahra's words, and hurriedly remedy it.

However, as soon as Misia said, Arda next to her showed anxiety, and it was too late to stop her, because Misia's words had no sincerity at all. She was just repeating Bahra's words, which not only would not have any effect, but would have a bad impression of Li Xiu of them.

"Haha, I have already understood the idea of ​​your two families. I will also persuade Your Majesty as soon as possible. At that time, not only will there be letters to the Byzantine Emperor, but there will be a batch of supplies to support you. You can go back and wait for the news!" Li Xiu chuckled again at this time, as if he didn't care about Missia's words.

"Duke Yan, you haven't told us whom His Majesty's letters and support materials to be given to? I'm here on behalf of the King of Persia. I hope Duke Yan can think carefully!" Seeing that Li Xiu did not make a clear statement, Misia was also a little anxious and said first. In fact, she also realized that she had lost her composure just now, but she became more and more panicked. She didn't realize that her words seemed a little impatient, and might even anger Li Xiu.

Seeing Misia so disobediently, Arda next to her finally couldn't help but save her and said, "Duke Yan, don't misunderstand, we..."

"Okay!" Before Arda finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiu's displeasure, "I still have a lot of sympathy for you Persia. I will also plead for you. As for how your Majesty decides, it's not that I can control it, so you should go back and wait for the news!"

After Li Xiu said that, he waved his sleeves and picked up the tea bowl to show his visit. Bahra knew the etiquette of the Central Plains, and he knew that he had successfully gained an advantage, so he stood up very simply and said goodbye to Li Xiu with a smile. Although Misia was a little unwilling, she was persuaded to leave by Arda in the end.

After watching Misia and the others leave, Li Xiu couldn't help but sneer. He had known Missia, a group of Persian envoys, first, but he was a little psychologically biased towards them. However, Misia's performance today is really disappointing. Whether it is eloquence or ability, Missia is far from comparable to Bahra.

The most important thing is that behind Bahra is the warlords who hold real Persian power, while behind Missia is only a group of nobles who have lost their military power. With the current situation in Persia, those who hold real power are naturally worthy of winning over. No wonder Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were both more inclined to Bahra before, and now Li Xiu has finally experienced it personally.

However, what satisfied Li Xiu the most was Bahra, the Persian envoy. He was not only proficient in Central Plains culture, but also an important figure in the Persian real power faction. The General Kawad behind him was the most powerful warlord in Persia. If he could really cooperate with Byzantine, he might really curb the rise of the cannibal.

Li Xiu had no special resentment towards the Great Cannibal, but he knew that with the expansion of the Great Cannibal, it would threaten the Tang Dynasty's future rule over the Western Regions, especially the Battle of Henglus more than a hundred years later, which led to the Tang Dynasty withdrawing from Central Asia. Of course, the Great Food was unable to move westward again. However, after the Great Food controlled Central Asia, it would affect the security of the Tang Dynasty's Silk Road, which was the greatest impact on the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the above that Li Xiu wanted to take this opportunity to set up more obstacles on the rise of the Great Food. It would be best if the Persians and the Byzantines could join forces to completely curb the expansion of the Great Food. Even if it could not be curbed, it would slow down the expansion of the Great Food. The Tang Dynasty only had some supplies and a letter from Li Shimin. It is believed that Li Shimin was very willing to do such a good deal.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu began to think about finding an opportunity to go to the palace again and talk about his thoughts with Li Shimin. Last time he suggested to Li Shimin that instead of wasting supplies to support Persia, it would be better to invite the King of Persia to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, because he thought that Persia could no longer turn the tables. However, after seeing Bahra today, he felt that his previous thoughts were a bit too simple. As a great empire that had existed for thousands of years, Persia might not be so easy to perish?

"Your Majesty, the Persian envoy is back!" But at this moment, a servant suddenly rushed to report.

"Huh?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard the servant's report, and then frowned and asked, "Which Persian envoy is it?"

"It's that woman!" The servant reported again.

"It's her!" Li Xiu frowned even tighter when he heard this. He had guessed that Missia had returned. He probably was unwilling to give up, so he ran back and wanted to say something.

"Let her..." Li Xiu didn't want to see Missia again, but when he spoke, he changed his mind. He said helplessly, "Forget it, let her come in. I want to hear what else she wants to say?"

The servants responded and after a while, Misia and Arda walked in again. However, Li Xiu keenly discovered that Arda was full of anxiety at this time. When he came in, he seemed to want to dissuade Misia, but Misia refused tactfully.

"Duke Yan, I hope you can carefully consider my opinion!" As soon as Misia came in, she immediately spoke again, her expression was very serious, and she seemed very serious.

"I have already said it very clearly. How to make a decision is Your Majesty's business, not what I, as a minister, can decide!" Li Xiu replied in a stiff tone when he heard Missia's words, and his expression on his face was a little unhappy. If it weren't for the sake of getting to know each other, he wouldn't have agreed to see them again.

Seeing the change of expression on Li Xiu's face, Arda seemed even more anxious. He whispered to Misia a few words and even wanted to pull her away, but Misia pushed her away. Then she strode forward and spoke again: "Duke Yan, I am not talking to you as a Persian envoy, but as the personal sister of the Persian king and the future Persian queen, I beg you for helping us with Persia!"

"Haha, the sister of the King of Persia? Do you think..." Li Xiu had guessed that Mi was originally from a difficult background, and he was not surprised to hear that she was the sister of the King of Persia. He was about to say something, but then he felt a little awkward, as if something was wrong?

"The sister of the Persian king, are you still the queen of the Persian king? Why can't I understand your relationship clearly?" Li Xiu said with a confused expression at this time. Although he had a vague answer in his heart, he was a little unacceptable in his emotions, because this was simply too lost.

"I am the only sister of the King of Persia, and naturally his wife in the future. Is there anything wrong with this?" Mi said with a look of course. It seemed that marrying her own brother was a very ordinary thing in her opinion.

"Your Highness of the Duke of Yan, most of our Persian royal family believe in the God of Light. According to our doctrine, the royal bloodline cannot be defiled, so most of them are intermarriages within the royal family. This is different from the customs of the Tang Dynasty. Please understand it!" At this time, Arda said with an embarrassment. He not only learned Chinese during this period, but also understood many customs of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he also knew that the Central Plains region was completely unacceptable to intermarriage between siblings, let alone mother and son, father and daughter.
