Needless to say, when they left the port of Abadan, they had a large gift for everyone.

rhino horn, gemstones, pearls, coral, agate, spices, pepper...... A box of gifts per person (Wu Zetian's is a big box), expensive, colorful, fragrant, such as a piece of ambergris given to Wu Zetian, the size of a basketball (other people gave a small piece), ignited

Later, after giving gifts to everyone here, Princess Taiping over there sent someone to send them back to the Shendu directly, so as not to drag down their trip!

The heavy gift is also free shipping, the service is considerate, and everyone is satisfied.

Wei Sili said regretfully: "You didn't do the best way to play!" ”

"How?"

"Go swimming!" Wei Sili is a pity for the authentic.

He has been to the Red Sea, or a vacation organized by Wei Xi, everyone is in the same system, you will not guard against me, I will guard against you, go to the sea every day to swim, fish, fish, I don't know how happy I am.

Since it is an inland sea, the Red Sea is not alarmed, and everyone enjoys the sunshine, sea and sand, hey, these guys don't know how to live!

He recounted his experience, and the guys weren't interested.

Just kidding, showing her body in public to swim, well, I don't know how Princess Taiping put on a swimsuit, and suddenly many people's eyes turned red!

Think about it, although Wei Xi is open, he won't let other men see the scene of Princess Taiping wearing a swimsuit, he and her are going out to sea by boat, sealing a sea area to enjoy personal space!

……

Next stop is Baghdad!

Speaking of which, this is the most boring stop, a desert city between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which only has a view of the river, not as much as the sea view.

It also did not have a later capital, and the architecture was nothing remarkable.

Truth be told, the scenery in the desert area is tasteless.

But this stop was very necessary, because there was a large army led by Wei Xi waiting for them in Damascus in front of them, and this stop in Baghdad was to give them rest and recuperate, so that they could appear in front of the army in the best possible manner.

So everyone lived a leisurely life for a while, facing the Tigris wind by the river, reading, drinking, tasting, and at sunset, watching the sky stratus clouds dye, from a piece of red, and layer by layer to gray, and finally with the sky turned gray, and when the sky was completely dark, the lights on the riverbank were lit up, and the heart was quite quiet.

Later, when I returned to Shendu, everyone actually said that the best time was in Baghdad, which actually made Wei Sili, the head of the accompanying group, speechless!

……

Finally arrived at Damascus, a city in paradise.

If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus will be in it, and if heaven is in the sky, Damascus will be as famous as it!

The renovated railway station, with a pillar structure with oriental characteristics, and the train slowly enters the station.

The red carpet was spread straight out of the royal carriage, and at the end of the carpet, Wei Xi was wearing gorgeous armor and greeted Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping and a group of ministers.

There were armies all around, and the entire station was flooded.

Wu Zetian stepped out of the carriage, and in full view of everyone, Wei Xi knelt down on her knees, bowed, and said loudly: "Minister Wei Xi, welcome the holy driver!" ”

He gave Wu Zetian enough face, Wu Zetian was naturally very happy, and asked Princess Taiping to help him up and said: "Don Ma, you have done a good job, you have worked hard!" ”

"It's the grace of His Majesty's appropriation, and the teaching is good!" Wei Xi's attitude is kind and humble, and he is extremely respectful to Wu Zetian!

"Load! Load! The ministers thought to themselves.

How easy is it for this kid to "live Cao Cao", he is unruly, the imperial court edict does not go out of the Yumen Pass, and the political power and military power of the vast land are grasped with one hand, with an army of millions, and he does not listen to the announcement.

But in front of everyone, there is a different face, how honest he is.

……

They left the station and rushed to the palace on the hill of Salitia, where Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping sat in an open-top carriage, and Wei Xi led the cavalry to protect them.

Soldiers were deployed all the way through the streets, and a large number of people greeted them, all in Chinese, shouting "Welcome Your Majesty!" Welcome Your Majesty! ”

Welcome! Welcome! Put out the welcome mat!

The four-wheeled open-top carriage is specially made, pasted with local tyrant gold, very dazzling, pulled by nine white horses, moving quickly, and a group of female soldiers riding horses tightly surrounded.

Along the way, martial law was imposed on all the people, and the people who went to welcome them were selected, and the politically unreliable people could not even go out into the streets, and at the commanding heights, they were controlled by soldiers with sniper crossbows, and they were extremely well protected.

This is a public appearance on the big street, and the rest of the cities either don't have so many people to welcome it, or they have a high security system for the Han people, and now in Damascus, Wei Xi has to be careful, his enemy is not hundreds of millions but more than 10,000, and the two people and women in the carriage are his most important family members, and they must not be negligent.

Arrived safely at the hill palace of Salitia, a Romanesque building with a less luxurious appearance.

But when you walk through the gate, everyone will be attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them: a large courtyard with high stone walls, colorful and colorful; The marble and mosaic floors shine brightly; The beautiful fountain is full of spring water, and all kinds of flowers compete for freshness; The corridor is covered with brocade and mirrors·····

Ahh

The accommodation of other people is also arranged in an elegant and comfortable environment, and everyone is very satisfied!

……

Not to mention, the big row feast, people's stomachs that had become light immediately accepted the overnutrition.

The Arabic cuisine is quite good, the grilled lamb chops are golden in color, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of juicy; The fresh small grouper sent from Lebanon is grilled to the outside and the inside is juicy, sweet and fragrant; There are also skewers, where the lamb is chopped and crushed into balls and grilled, which is quite delicious.

Their kind of tahini with chickpeas is a common side dish. In Syria, this dish called chickpeas is a commonly used nut, with its ground powder and sesame sauce together, at first glance it looks white, I thought it was a dish of cheese, in fact, the chickpeas are ground into bean paste, plus sesame paste, olive oil and oriental spices mixed together, the taste is sour with a little salty, the fragrance is very strong, very appetizing, and has the effect of buffing everyone's combat effectiveness.

Everyone eats happily, the wine is on it, it is brewed by Wei Xi's industry, it is extremely refreshing, everyone toasts frequently, for a while He Wu Zetian has a long life, and he congratulates Wei Xi for a long time, and then he congratulates Princess Taiping is beautiful and moving, Wei Xi respects everyone is in good health, and he works for the emperor.

……

The banquet stopped for a long time, and Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping and Wei Xi sat on the verandah of the palace overlooking the panoramic view of the old city and watching the sunset over the old city of Damascus.

The city of Damascus under the sunset is full of thousands of buildings, which can be called the palace of the nine heavens, and the crown of all nations!

Many years later, Princess Taiping and Wei Xi did not forget the sunset that day, because Wu Zetian said something to them.
