Chapter Four, Reunion
I have heard that they are extraordinary friends; they acquired considerable wealth at the auction. I obtained the details of their acquaintance for twenty gold coins
Thus, Ade and the homeowner entered the house together. Ade introduced himself as Ahmad, while the homeowner introduced himself as Abu Niyah, claiming to be Ahmad's servant. He brought out a spread of food and drink from the kitchen and served them with a wine jug. After chatting for a while, the woman, wanting to assert her authority as the mistress, unleashed her fury on the servant Abu (who was actually the master Abu), saying: "How can you go out when the master might be returning home? If I were your master, I would punish you with a whip!" Abu was taken aback by such treatment, his face changing with anger, yet he still tried to endure. Ade attempted to stop the unfortunate woman from continuing her unreasonable behavior, but after a few drinks, she became increasingly irrational, insisting that Ade demonstrate the master's authority by whipping Abu. Again, she shouted at the servant Abu (who was actually the master Abu): "How can you go out when the master might be returning home? If I were your master, I would punish you with a whip!" Abu, shocked by this treatment, turned red with anger but continued to endure. Ade could no longer tolerate the woman's harassment, exclaiming, "Fool, shut up!" He picked up a wine jug and struck the woman on the head with great force. Unexpectedly, the jug, which appeared to be made of aluminum, was actually silver and quite heavy, causing the woman to collapse onto the table and die instantly. The two exchanged glances, both astonished that things had escalated to this point.
I see, what is the relationship between him and Abuniyah
Abu, who is the most famous beauty here
I am about to faint, I am about to faint... The price of Ab's Hansi at the auction has already exceeded twenty times, yet there are still people bidding.
Before her, the only princess of the Ottoman Empire, Zümrüd, appeared utterly disinterested in the prospect of marriage. She was the sole radiance in this vast palace room, where flowers dared not bloom carelessly in her presence. As Zümrüd's hand brushed over the vase, countless buds of roses simultaneously unfurled, yet Zümrüd did not glance at them. Her gaze swept over the flowerbed, over the dressing table, and finally rested upon a sword mounted on the wall. This sword was antique and exceptionally sharp, with inscriptions on the hilt that danced like dragons and phoenixes, yet Zümrüd did not recognize it—"Longquan"! As Zümrüd's hand brushed over the vase, countless buds of roses simultaneously unfurled, yet Zümrüd did not glance at them. Her gaze swept over the flowerbed, over the dressing table, and finally rested upon a sword mounted on the wall. This sword was antique and exceptionally sharp, with inscriptions on the hilt that danced like dragons and phoenixes, yet Zümrüd did not recognize it—"Longquan"! It was indeed the Longquan sword lost by Adé!
Adé spoke first: "Dear friend, I apologize for my presumptuous arrival, which has caused you such great distress. I cannot tolerate this woman's rudeness. I am immensely grateful for your assistance, and I shall bear all consequences myself, ensuring that you are not implicated in any way."
As the two individuals exited the marketplace, the sky had already darkened. Suddenly, they became immensely wealthy, and their emotions can be easily imagined. After a night of hustle, they purchased a palace in the city, with the eastern side belonging to Ade and the western side to Ai Bu
"Of course, Dandand is the most beautiful Zumurud, the only beloved daughter of the Sultan of Baghdad, our Arab moon!" Usually composed, Abu became incoherent when speaking of beauty, "It is said that when she raises her left hand, peach blossoms bloom, and when she raises her right hand, roses bloom..."
No need to say more, my friend, I will listen to you completely!" Abe tightly embraced Ad, "Now let's go buy furniture and servants!
As soon as Ade returned home, Aibu excitedly recounted a rumor to him, a rumor that was spreading at a rate of a thousand miles a day throughout the Islamic world, and it was believed that soon the entire world would know—Zhumulde mocked her fiancé on their engagement night, and her fiancé, having suffered an indelible blow to his pride, decided to break off the engagement
For several consecutive days, Abdu spent his time in excitement. In addition to spending lavishly, Ad's plan gave him a goal to strive for. However, Ad was not very happy. From the public places where people were eager to talk, he learned that war was imminent, and the blockade at the northern border was exceptionally tight. To cross the border, one would have to be a soldier going to their death. "There will be a way!" Ad comforted himself. Yet, war was not the most talked-about topic; the most sensational topic was the marriage of Zumuld. The son of the governor of Damascus, a cousin of the Sultan, had proposed to the Sultan, who expressed his approval. Ad was not very happy.

The son of the governor of Damascus, a cousin of the Sultan, had proposed to the Sultan, who expressed his approval, and the two would be married within a few days. Many confident young men were greatly disappointed, and people everywhere were troubled by this.
The smooth resolution of this matter was something neither Ade nor Abu had anticipated. Having narrowly escaped death, it felt as if they had returned from another world. Upon exiting the palace, Abu sincerely expressed his gratitude for God's grace, while Ade, filled with joy, quietly discarded the lock-picking tools he had hidden on him, such as iron wire and a saw, behind Abu. "Of course, the premise of grandiose statements is one's own safety!"
Strangle him
No matter who it is, anyone who first sees Baghdad will be moved to tears—imagine yourself with the wings of an eagle, gazing down at the earth from the vast sky. In the boundless desert, a glimmer of green light shines brightly; that is Baghdad, the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, described in the Old Testament of the Bible as a paradise on earth—Mesopotamia. (Once the resting place of Noah's Ark, Mesopotamia is a Greek term meaning the land between the two rivers). That is Baghdad, the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, described in the Old Testament of the Bible as a paradise on earth—Mesopotamia. (Once the resting place of Noah's Ark, Mesopotamia is a Greek term meaning the land between the two rivers)
Well, in that case, it really cannot be blamed on you. However, Zumu'er, when we arrived at the place you mentioned, we only caught a jackal! We thought you were possessed, especially since that jackal was comically holding a stick, trying to dig itself out! If what you said is true, then this person is either exceptionally wise and brave, or a transformed jackal!
Adé did not want the woman's face to be humiliated in public, nor did he want to be looked down upon himself, so he replied, "Of course you will come with me"
The owner of the caravan is a young Ottoman man, kind and warm-hearted, who cares for Ade as a truly noble person should, yet refuses to reveal his name. All of this is enough for Ade to overlook his true appearance and refer to him as "the most handsome man in the world." He took meticulous care of Ade for two months, ensuring that Ade fully regained his health before arriving in Islamabad
Wow, is she a human or a ghost
What excited Adé was that, beyond the immense hatred between Christians and Muslims, he finally discovered the history of his own family. In the 10th century, powerful Norse Viking pirates descended southward, and a Viking named Rollo repeatedly attacked the French coast. The King of France, unable to resist, granted Normandy to Rollo, who became the first Duke of Normandy. In 1066, King Edward of England passed away, and William the Conqueror crossed the English Channel, achieving a great victory in the Battle of Hastings and declaring himself King of England
The prosperity of Baghdad left a profound impression on Adé. In fact, apart from Hangzhou, there are few places that can compare to the prosperity of Baghdad. Merchants and travelers from all over the world gather here, and the streets are filled with dignitaries and scholars holding thick volumes of books. Young women occasionally dance gracefully in the streets, while soldiers march with a vigorous stride. People discuss matters from all directions in the bathhouses, mentioning Venice, Damascus, Jerusalem, and Tehran. This is the political and economic center, the focal point of the world stage.

Oh, your qualifications are quite good, seven or eight years should be sufficient
I once told you that my name is Ade. Believe me, only my family would call me that, "the most handsome man in the world." My friend, please tell me your name no matter what, so that I may have the opportunity to repay your kindness
On the night of the engagement, a disheveled and drunken fellow barged into my room. I quickly realized it was my cousin. Just as I was about to invite him to sit down, a cat leaped onto the windowsill and knocked over a vase. He was startled and fell to the side of the bed. After seeing it was just a cat, he still clutched his chest, his face pale, and he gasped for breath for quite a while. I couldn't help but recall the bandit who had kidnapped me in the Indian desert. He faced immense danger without fear, having killed three formidable beasts in succession. Most people would have become kings after such feats, yet I buried him in the sand for his disrespect towards me. Compared to him, my cousin was truly laughable. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but I meant no disrespect towards him. However, he made a big fuss about the incident, showing no regard for my reputation. Who, then, is the one who has erred?
Abu stopped Ad's intention to surrender: "I swear by the name of Allah, this ignorant woman brought death upon herself. Our best strategy is to figure out how to bury the body without being discovered"
The owner of the house was quite surprised to see a stranger entertaining a woman in his home, but his good upbringing allowed him to give Ade the opportunity to explain. Ade quietly said to the owner, "Please lower your voice; if you understood my situation, you would surely forgive my actions"
Hearing that this shrewd businessman, Aibu, is so captivated from thousands of miles away, Ade not only developed a considerable curiosity about Zumuld.
Aibu, my friend, you are a truly noble Muslim. For the past two days, I have been anxiously waiting in your home, flipping through the Quran repeatedly, but it does not mention hetushu.com. In times of great trouble, everyone seeks their own escape! There was not a trace of hesitation in Ade's voice as he turned to the judge and said loudly: "Your Honor, all of this is because of me; I am the one who killed the person. Please arrest me and let my friend Aibu go!"
How is your situation
"It's entirely up to you," Zhumuerde shyly replied, "but how is this going to work?"
The time for parting has come on the streets of Islamabad
I have my own ways!" Sudan smiled and walked away
Thus, the two individuals became the best of friends in the world
Oh, friend from afar, whom I do not know, my possessions shall belong to you! The scenery outside is quite beautiful, but I can no longer appreciate it!" Aibu muttered to himself as he gazed through the iron bars. He had confessed his crimes unreservedly before the judge; in Islamic law, burying a body is a capital offense, and there was no need to implicate Ade as well. Thus, the judge sentenced him to hanging, and on the morning of the second day, Aibu was led to the gallows.

Are we being too extravagant? Abe is very sensitive to extravagant behavior
Two individuals conspired for half a day and decided to dispose of the woman's body in the river at night, as the current was strong and the body would not be discovered in the city. Since Ade was an outsider, it was decided that Abe would carry out the task. They wrapped the unfortunate woman's body in bedding, and Abe carried it towards the riverbank, claiming to the patrol that he was going to sleep by the river. In the local context, due to the hot weather, this was a plausible excuse
Adel had no choice but to abandon the idea of a quick fix and focus on studying and memorizing those peculiar techniques
The judge and the onlookers were astonished by this scene, and a loud cheer erupted from the crowd. The judge could not dismiss such applause lightly; he brought the two individuals before the Sultan, indicating the difficulty in identifying the perpetrator, and emphasized the noble friendship between the two. The Sultan greatly appreciated this and pardoned the two individuals, also taking the initiative to comfort the family of the deceased
Let me go
Regarding cheap silk fabrics, we are afraid it will be difficult to obtain high-quality silk. However, it seems that there is no specific cloth here for dressing wounds; cotton yarn will suffice
Unexpectedly, the woman truly followed Ade closely without leaving. After walking around the city for half a day and seeing that the woman was still behind him, Ade felt quite troubled. Suddenly, he noticed a rather luxurious residence ahead, with a lock on the door, so he stopped and said: "This is my home! It seems my servant has gone out to buy groceries, so you might as well come back another time!"
"Damn it, why are there so many people visiting? Do I look good sticking out my tongue?" The rope was already around Abe's neck, and he felt quite dissatisfied with the court profiting from his death, but as the protagonist, he clearly had no voting rights
Except for the last sentence, Ade was truly moved
Regarding this magician, he initially did not intend to teach Ade. However, later, Zumuld quietly interceded on his behalf, allowing Ade the opportunity to understand the mysteries of the advanced elemental magic of Islam. Nevertheless, Ade could only grasp a few basic principles, and he learned that portals are a form of time-space magic that Christianity excels in, which no one here understands. However, the effects of high-level wind magic are the same, capable of moving a person thousands of kilometers in an instant.

Oh, what exactly is going on? Sudan felt that his daughter had been wronged, and his tone softened.
In response to Aibu's invitation, Ade was eager to accept. Thus, the two good friends sold their possessions, procured goods and camels, and decided to embark on a new journey to the west. Aibu decided to purchase a large quantity of silk, as silk was continuously transported from the Silk Road and was still available here, but in West Asia, it was indeed a rare find. Ade was an expert in selecting silk. The two worked closely together, forming an excellent partnership.

It seems that compared to Zumuld, Abu prefers to save money. Ade, while waiting for opportunities, teaches Abu various principles. Abu is very intelligent and soon begins to prepare for business. Ade is not as enthusiastic as he is; he wants to learn something and often visits the library in Baghdad to understand different cultures and histories, hoping to find instructional books on magic. For a month, he has found nothing regarding magic, but has learned quite a bit about history.

The woman said, "Why not just break the door open!" As she spoke, she picked up a large stone and forcefully smashed the lock. Ade could not stop her and had no choice but to follow her into the house
However, just as they were nearing the riverbank, a patrol team grew suspicious, as by that time it was almost autumn, and there were fewer people going to sleep by the river. The bedding was forcibly opened, revealing the corpse, and Aibu was arrested
After listening to Aibu's story, Ade gained a deeper understanding of his friend. The small caravan organized by the two quickly began to thrive due to Aibu's shrewdness and Ade's intelligence and bravery. Aibu was adept at collecting specialty products, while Ade had unique insights into many jewels and artworks, particularly in identifying Eastern items. In every major city they visited, they managed to earn a considerable profit. During their journey across Central Asia, Ade gradually developed a profound understanding of Arab culture. The girls in Islamic culture typically wear veils; in front of strangers, they would rather appear bare than remove their veils, which is quite different from other places. Ade finally understood why the girl who was stolen was so attached to her veil. The girl's breathtaking beauty left a lasting impression on Ade; although her choice to conceal herself was somewhat excessive, the shock and harm he caused her were not insignificant, thus balancing the scales.

From time to time, young women notice Ade's handsomeness. Although Ade's attire is not extravagant, there is no doubt that he possesses a striking appearance. The hardships he has endured have left a unique radiance on his face, making him appear exceptionally resolute and mature
Fool, how is that possible? I am an Arab!
At that time, during the Ottoman Turkish rule over the Arabs, the Turkish nobility was predominant, and Arabs were regarded as the subjects, facing some degree of discrimination. In reality, as long as one had the capability, it would not affect their future; the Ottomans revered warriors and would never look down upon others based on their ethnicity or status. However, royal marriages were different; considerations of status and lineage were somewhat necessary, which is only natural. An Ottoman princess, of course, would not be accessible to an Arab like Abu; in fact, apart from her father, it is unlikely that any man could see Zhumulde without a veil.

I no longer wish to stay here, my friend. Let us go to Baghdad to engage in business together. If you truly are a wanderer, you could be my best assistant
You will offer a maiden to the wind demon every month, and then sign a contract with him; it will only take a year.
O Lord, what should I do? Zhumuerde was filled with anguish. A maid rushed in in a panic: "Your Highness, His Majesty is coming!"
Damn it! My hair is all split ends!" Ade cursed, not knowing when the nightmare would end. Several wounds had begun to fester, which was quite serious. At that moment, the crisp sound of camel bells rang out again from afar, which for Ade was like celestial music.
Impertinent! Of course, she is a person; Miss Zumuld's wit and beauty are unparalleled on this continent, and even Allah must acknowledge it
Wow, just one year! But how can one obtain those young girls
Zumu Erde truly has the qualities of a star! Upon seeing the crowd bustling in the streets, many appearing as if they had come back to life, Ade couldn't help but find it amusing. Meanwhile, Zumu Erde was forced to confront his father's wrath and the accusations from a large part of the Islamic community.
In the period that followed, it became a significant time for Ade and Aibu. First, the mayor came to visit, expressing his willingness to fully support Aibu's business launch, and many aspects were designated as official plans. They discussed everything from the printing of textbooks to various market share issues. Within a few days, Ade and Aibu became well-known figures in the area, recognized by both commoners and nobles. Subsequently, high-quality paper was produced, and the Sultan expressed great appreciation for their contributions, personally summoning them and appointing Ade as a temporary judge to manage the city's civil matters. Ade realized there was no room for him to decline and readily agreed. After donning luxurious garments, people referred to him as Judge Ahmad. Ade was eager to head north but dared not show his feelings, feeling quite frustrated. After donning luxurious garments, people referred to him as Judge Ahmad. Ade was eager to head north but dared not show his feelings, feeling quite frustrated.
Wait! A loud shout came from the crowd, and both the judge and Abdu raised their heads, trying to locate the bold speaker, who was none other than Ade
The two individuals met here, both taken aback. The "most handsome man in the world," with a pale face, showed a hint of redness, as if he had grasped a lifeline, casting an urgent glance towards Ad.
"That person is undoubtedly a noble hero, Father!" Zhumuerde reported everything he had learned from the pursuer to his father. After listening to the stories of Ade and Aibu, the Sultan fell into deep thought. Seeing his daughter hold in high regard the one who had once harmed her, the wise Sultan found his answer. After pondering for a moment, he said to his daughter: "Since you are not satisfied with this marriage, I intend to marry you to the bandit who has stolen your heart. Are you willing?"
That's great, when will I be able to learn it
A beautiful woman stopped Ade and said loudly: "Young man, are you coming with me or am I going with you?"
... ... ''
Is there a quick way to learn it
However, the most handsome man in the world did not reveal his name, but instead gifted Ad a bracelet as a memento, "My friend, may you always call me 'the most handsome man in the world.' Only you in the entire world will refer to me this way, and from now on, this shall be my nickname. When you see the bracelet, think of me! Take care, and may God bless you!"
This fertile land was once occupied by Greece, Rome, and Christianity. In the year 632, Muhammad passed away, and his father-in-law, who was also his disciple, Abu Bakr, became the new Sultan (meaning leader). Two years later, Abu Bakr died, and Umar ascended to the throne. In just ten years, he conquered Egypt, Persia, Phoenicia, Syria, and Pakistan, establishing Damascus as the capital. Subsequently, the religious spiritual leader transformed into a hereditary vast empire. They established present-day Baghdad near the ruins of the ancient city of Nineveh along the Tigris River and formed cavalry units from Arab horsemen. They set out to spread the joy of Islam to the world. By the year 700, they reached Europe and named the Strait of Gibraltar, continuing northward, unstoppable along the way, with a powerful army advancing towards Paris. However, in 732, they suffered a devastating defeat, as the Frankish leader Charles Martel saved Europe by driving the Muslims out of France. The Muslims retreated to Spain, where they established the Caliphate of Córdoba. Thus, one hundred years after Muhammad's death, the world order temporarily stabilized, but conflicts continued to erupt along all borders with Christianity, making it impossible to openly advance north of France.
Adel walked out of the library deep in thought, completely unaware that someone was following him. The person trailed him from a distance and only ran off after seeing Adel return to the palace. Moments later, he was kneeling respectfully in the splendid harem of the Sultan, kissing the ground before a pair of jade feet: "Your Highness, the person claims to be Ahmad. He has been lingering in the library for several days and seems to be a studious fallen noble. He is staying with the merchant Abniye from Islamabad, and their palace is still being painted."
The tracker recounted everything he had learned, respectfully retreating in a posture that was almost prone on the ground
"What are you doing here, along with my friend from the library? Is it not enough for me to die alone?" Abe did not expect Ad to appear like this, and could only manage a bitter smile. His head was still caught in the noose, and smiling seemed somewhat laborious.
One day, a group of complainants arrived at his residence and rang the bell outside the court. Ade was feeling frustrated about being unable to leave the country when he was taken aback by the sight of the defendants and the group of complainants. Among them was a Jew, a black slave with one eye injured, and two furious local youths. The unfortunate individual who had incited the public's anger was none other than Ade's benefactor—"the most handsome man in the world," who was now, in this moment of outrage, the most unfortunate man in the world.
Ad pushed his way through the crowd, squeezing in from the outside
Do you have any wishes before you die
Thus, I am actually half a Nordic Viking and half a Han Chinese, a true marvel; how did they come together?" Ade could hardly believe the strange marriage of his parents, yet he himself is the evidence of this miracle
Ademan wandered aimlessly on the street, contemplating how he could earn himself a hearty lunch. His pride prevented him from speaking to his benefactor, and of course, he could not expect much from the already not very wealthy caravan owner, even though he was originally a traveling merchant.
More than half a year has passed, and the small caravan has transformed into a large one. Ade and Aibu traversed the entire steppes and deserts of Central Asia, encountering bandits and various strange occurrences along the way. However, one day, they finally arrived in Baghdad
In response to his daughter's greeting with indifference, Sudan expressed his anger: "Why did you humiliate your cousin, your fiancé, causing me to lose face and my reputation to be tarnished?"
Oh, it sounds like you have seen it before
The woman was quite indiscreet; upon entering the house, she rummaged through everything at will, eating whatever food she found and opening bottles to drink the wine. Ad was restless, not wanting to be accused of being a fraud. Just as he was hesitating, the door outside opened, and the owner of the house returned, furious upon seeing the broken lock, and stormed into the courtyard. Ad quickly shouted, "It's me!" and steeled himself to go out to meet him.
After listening to Ade's account, the homeowner found it amusing and expressed understanding, saying, "How about this, I will act as your servant. We can discuss anything after she leaves. Rest assured, the secret will be kept, and the man's face and dignity will not be lost."
First eliminate the army, then take care of the navy
Soon, due to Ade's talents, people formed a favorable impression of him. Abe's career also flourished, and the mayor had a very fine daughter. Encouraged by Ade, as soon as Abe spoke, the mayor agreed. Thus, Ade moved to the official residence and focused on government affairs. In his spare time, he learned magic from a well-known magician in the city.

Although you are penniless and not a Muslim, I feel that you are the most trustworthy person in this world
The blood of the lion restored much of Ade's strength and greatly increased his courage. However, having the courage of a lion alone was not enough to traverse the vast Indian desert. The desert severely tested Ade's patience; he was covered in wounds, dressed in tattered rags, resembling a grotesque creature. After half a month, he had consumed scorpions, venomous snakes, various sizes of mice and lizards, and the prickly yet juicy delicacies of cacti left an indelible mark on his memory. His thoughtful actions spared him from perishing under the sun in the desert. Nevertheless, Ade had transformed into a state that was neither human nor ghostly, his clothes were in tatters beyond wear, so he tore them into strips to fashion a head covering.
Ad: "... ... Once I learn to create portals like Pasi, I will open Aunt Yun's shop here—Zhi Jin Ge—Baghdad branch, sounds impressive, right?"
However, Abu was not sad. He said, "Ah, what? She is getting married? My grandmother... Hey, what are you two doing! Don't think about slacking off! If you can't make the parts shown in the drawing, there will be no lunch!"
My friend, we need such a large house. I see that the production of silk here is lagging behind, and the paper and printing technology is also underdeveloped. I will help you produce exquisite paper and print books on-site. Soon, silk will also be woven here. This place is close to Damascus and Jerusalem; when war breaks out, we can weave cloth to sell in that area.
It seems that Abu is going to be sad
In the face of her father's anger, Zumurud felt deeply wronged. She knelt before Sultan, mustering her courage, and spoke loudly in her defense: "Father, you have entrusted me to a man who is ostentatious in manner and timid as a mouse; I would rather die than live with such a person"
