Afifa translated, and although the pale Jebal no longer spoke, his eyes were still fierce.

Li Zhi pulled Afifa back two steps, and the long sword that left him fell again, and his other arm was also separated from his body.

At this time, Jebal couldn't suppress his screams, and because of the unbearable pain, he desperately slammed his head against the remnants of the carriage, and that's it, still didn't make a look of begging for mercy.

Li Zhi glanced away from him, and the latter saw that the knife in his hand had fallen, and the man's head had been filled with blood and fell into the carriage.

The hand covering Afeifa's eyes was released, Li Zhi said a few words, and Afeifa nodded frequently: "I know it's right to do this, brother doesn't need to explain!" ”

By this time, more than half of the 300 sergeants had fallen, and many more had already scattered and fled.

For the escapees, Ah Ming and the others ignored it, Xin Jingshan, who had not done anything, disappeared somehow, and Si Xiangwen and Xing Yichun were picking up a few live mouths and throwing them aside.

Only Ah Ming's body flickered, like a god of war, mighty and domineering, and his eyes swept everywhere with a terrifying deterrent power.

Under the scorching sun, the smell of blood had already filled the entire street, and the corpses were scattered everywhere, and the blood was still gurgling out.

Almost all the people who appeared at the scene were in a state of sluggishness, even ordinary people could see that each of these men around Afifa was a strong man with a score of one to a hundred.

Originally, there was an opportunity to make noise, but he also closed his mouth tightly at this moment, because I don't know who revealed that the beautiful woman present was actually the first eldest princess of the dynasty.

Those who are familiar with the identity of their own people are beginning to realize that perhaps a great civil war is about to start in the country.

Without the persistence of a common faith and a deep common culture, the empire has been divided and scattered since its founding.

Even the same ethnic group is difficult to unite together, and it is full of bloody and brutal political struggles, and they are self-conscious, and develop a lonely, self-centered, and difficult to cooperate with others.

These seem to be innate, not entirely acquired, and can be corrected, so they are very stubborn.

It was the Islam founded by the great Muhammad that gave the Arabs a common faith, and the Koran thus became the unifying ideological bond of the Arabs.

However, the short-term common belief is due to the mutual tilt between factions, and they have a long-term business tradition, after all, they do not have the long-term vision of politicians and philosophers, but they have a little more short-sighted businessman's inherent thinking.

At this moment, Princess Afifa was far away from Brin in Mascus, and carried out a bloody killing against another faction, which means that even the most arrogant person can think of terrible consequences.

Today's Arab Empire is far from reaching its future rise and greatness, and is still in the embryonic stage of breaking down the strict barriers between different faiths, nationalities, and tribes and establishing a unified Islamic state.

Arabs from different tribes live together, and it will take a long time for them to integrate into each other, so that the ties that bind them together will gradually develop from blood ties to geographical ties.

Many peoples from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean have been able to successfully develop from a culturally backward nation to a more advanced national integration and unity through natural and forced assimilation and integration with the Arab nation.

However, at this time, the dynasties pursued policies that discriminated against foreigners, and suffered all kinds of political, economic, and religious injustices.

In this way, the rich or powerful compete to show off their luxury, enjoy themselves, and spend their money; Many more are converting to avoid heavy taxes and change their social status, because they have lost almost all their privileges and have become the ruled class.

In such a harsh reality, the contradictions and conflicts between ethnic groups are the main cause of the division of the empire, and how can a massacre between people with such sensitive identities as today escape the crisis of large-scale war.

So, unconsciously, many people have turned around and left, just to rush home as soon as possible to report this serious situation, which is also the most direct public reaction before the war.

It's just that all of them ignore one point, that is, the existence of Li Zhi and other Tang Dynasty people, and they are the kind of extremely strong people who are at the peak of the cultivation world.

As soon as those officials approached before, some people expressed their dissatisfaction with Li Zhi in a vague manner.

Li Zhi's reaction was the most direct: "We are the most honored guests of your imperial family, and at the same time I am also the son-in-law of Emperor Merrick, you are actually questioning that I should not resist the enemy who threatens my own safety?" Well, as you wish, I am willing to give up this marriage and slaughter that Abbasid, even if war breaks out between the two countries! ”

Afifa translated back the original words word for word, and Li Zhi's strength made almost everyone tremble, they knew how terrifying the consequences would be if they continued like this.

There were already people who gritted their teeth before the other party expressed their dissatisfaction, but before they could attack, Xin Jingshan, who had disappeared for some reason, suddenly fell down from the second floor, carrying one person in each hand.

Pouton threw the two of them to the ground, and not far away was Issa, who was also banned.

Xin Jingshan whispered a few words to Li Zhi and Afeifa, and held a clay pot high in his hand.

Receiving Li Zhi's eyes, Afifa said to the officials: "Do any of you know what this is?" ”

After a few exclamations, someone shouted: "This is Greek fire!" A liquid incendiary that burns in water! ”

Another person continued: "In recent years, there have been frequent wars between our empire and Europe, and the enemy has invented this kind of Greek fire, which has caused great damage to our army!" ”

Afifa nodded: "This is what these two people secretly dropped in the shop on the second floor, and twenty-one have been found so far, do you still think today's incident is an accident?" ”

Greek fire was only the Arabic name for this weapon of terror, and the Eastern Romans themselves called it "fire of the sea", "fire of flow", "flame of liquid".

It was a chemical weapon made of liquid flammable materials that was sprayed out by a pipe, and the Arab navy was repeatedly destroyed by Greek fire.

It's a black, viscous grease from somewhere in Europe that floats and burns on water (it's actually oil).

Someone had the idea of using it as a weapon, and with the help of his own chemical preparation technology, he conducted many experiments and achieved success.

Recently, once a naval battle broke out, the Eastern Roman navy sent small ships equipped with Greek fire to attack Arab warships carrying siege equipment and soldiers.

In the last few naval battles, which had almost completely wiped out the Arab navy, the Greek fire, which had played a major role, had been given great attention, and the Arab soldiers who had suffered greatly were well aware of its great danger.

The appearance of these horrific weapons in the Rees Bazaar was clearly deliberately instigated to detonate them during the fierce battle between the Afifa side and Issa's side.

It is conceivable that more than two dozen Greek fires exploded at the same time, and the entire Rhys Bazaar would be reduced to ruins in a very short time.

The purpose of this is undoubtedly to take advantage of this conflict between the two sides and cause an irreparable civil war to begin.

But unexpectedly, this battle ended in a very short time, and the Greek fire, which had not yet had time to be properly arranged, was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

While the officials were chilling all over their bodies, Afifa was talking again:

"Fortunately, the unexpectedly quick end of the battle has caused the four men who arranged the Greek fire to be busy, so that our people can find the traces. Two of them have been killed on the spot, and you can tell who instigated them! As I would like to be clear, our people do not understand Arabic, and we don't know what they will confess afterwards! ”

She turned to look at Liqi, and beckoned Fu Chen to take one of them away before she stepped forward, patted away part of the other's inhibition, and injected a wisp of true yuan into the meridians in that person's body.

Zhenyuan's wandering momentum brought the man to howl in pain, and an official took the opportunity to ask.

The men who were sent to set up and detonate the Greek fire were all dead, but they could see death as home, but they could not endure the pain of slashing and chopping into the marrow like an axe.

After gritting his teeth and holding on for dozens of breaths, he roared and spoke: "We are members of the Saleh tribe, and we were ordered by the chief Saleh Hassan to set up an ambush here and detonate it with our bodies!" ”

While the officials were interrogating, Afifa was also translating in a low voice, so after half a cup of tea, Afifa ordered him to release the pain and confine him again.

Another person also brought it later, concocted it according to the law, and the result was the same, and there was a long conversation between the official and Afifa.

It was only then that Afifa translated to Li Zhi, and the reason why Hisham had not arrived for a long time was revealed.

It turned out that Issa had already sent people to set up a checkpoint between the Rees Bazaar and the Salem Palace in order to prevent people from rushing there to report the situation.

Hisham, along with a group of high-ranking officials and chieftains of various tribes, rested in the Salin Palace after drinking.

Originally, this plan was tonight or tomorrow, but I didn't expect Li Yiyi and his party to appear at the Rees Market in the afternoon, so that the Greek fire was not arranged in time.

And the people who came to disturb were also divided into two groups in a hurry, and the original first batch of people was not the five master-level people before, but more than 300 ordinary sergeants.

Therefore, under the surprise, not only were their master-level powerhouses almost depleted, but even the more hidden Greek fire was also detected.

It was only the arrangement of the Greek fire, which was not known to the Issa, and the Nasaleh tribe belonged to the same Abbasid sect as the Sasin, and were cousins of the Abbasid group.

Although the Sasin tribe did not appear this time, the reason for the provocation of the previous people was that in the name of this tribe, it was also inseparable.

Moreover, everyone in the Brin officialdom knows that Issa is a close alliance with the Sasin tribe, or that Issa is a clinging force of this tribe.

It hardly takes much analysis to clearly reveal the plot route, and this result makes Li Zhixin secretly discuss.

He was puzzled by such a simple and straightforward trap set, but it was clear that this was not the time to think deeply.

Because Hisham's side finally got the message, it was from Ahmed, who had hurried over.

This man's account, as in the previous interrogation, was stopped by the checkpoint set up on his way to the Salin Palace in a hurry.

After he pretended to leave, he found a few civilians and took a detour to the Salin Palace, and he saw a wolf smoke rising from the agreed Salin Palace, so he hurried back to report it.

But he was shocked to find that by the time he left, the Rees Market had already become a slaughtering site.

Not long after, Li Zhi's divine sense detected a fierce battle at the checkpoint several miles away, and he knew that Hisham and his party were about to arrive.

Only then did the officials sit on the ground in the store, but the weather on the street was too hot, and there was no place to shade the sun, so it was uncomfortable for the locals to stand for a long time.
