"Welcome, my lord, please come in. It's a great honor for you to come to our watch shop." Haitli nodded and bowed, facing a distinguished guest with a flattering face, and continued to be polite.

This distinguished guest is a local nobleman in his 50s, with a neatly trimmed beard, wearing silk clothes and a huge turban. He is followed by two servants and five or six guards.

Haitli has been in the court for many years, and his special skills are to flatter others and serve the powerful.The most important skill in this is to watch people serve dishes, like today's visitor. Judging by his clothes and the arrogance of his servants and guards, he is obviously a top rich man.

"Please sit down! I wonder what you always call me?" He asked as he personally carried a large armchair and placed it in front of the square table in the lobby of the store. He also asked Lingling to make a pot of crisp tea and fill the teacups. Fill it with tea and place it in front of the distinguished guest, asking him to take whatever he wants.

"This is the patriarch of the Sejia family, the famous Master Lahesejia!" A personal servant immediately introduced.

"It turns out to be the elder of the Sega tribe. Please sit down and I will present the best products in the store right away." Haitli quickly brought some of the best watches and a clock in the store to the stage and asked Lahe to Sega is the same as the sample.

Soon Lakhsega picked out a golden pocket watch and a porcelain clock. After choosing, he left immediately without even asking the price, leaving only two servants and a bodyguard to settle the money and carry the goods.He himself took the rest of the guards and left in a hurry.

Haitli's main purpose in Peshawar was to get information. Finally, a big shot came. He originally planned to talk to him, but he didn't expect that this gentleman was in such a hurry that he almost didn't have time to talk to him.

He was unwilling to do so, so he kept a backup plan.

Before the servants left, Haitli quickly took out a small brass key, gave it to the servant and said: "This clock needs to be wound every day. When winding, use this key to turn the clock." The small hole under the hands of the desk clock is enough, but remember not to tighten the spring too much every time, otherwise it will be bad if the spring breaks. In that case, you need to send it to the shop for repair, remember!"

The servant was arrogant and agreed casually. He only asked Haitri to pack up the clock and pocket watch carefully and send them back to Sejia's mansion.

......

"Ah——! Help! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

A series of screams came from the cave where soldiers were hiding in the city wall, "Ahurama, please spare my life! I have surrendered!"

The one who screamed was Zabad, who put on the robe to test because he was not convinced.Gu Fei was also panicked and kowtowed to Zhang Bai repeatedly, begging for forgiveness from his master.Zhang Bai was unmoved and just observed quietly.

Finally, even Father Sauter knelt down and said, "Please Ahurama atone for your sins. Zabad is a rough man and ignorant, but he is my only son. Please show your respect." He said this and other people beside him The beggar also knelt down to beg for mercy.

Zhang Bai originally wanted Zabad to suffer the same pain as the Pasha, but when he heard that he was Sawtel's son and saw that everyone was helping to plead for mercy, he knew that he must not go too far.

He nodded to his father, came to Zabad, and gently touched the robe. The robe immediately relaxed and was absorbed into the nine-story tower by Zhang Bai.

The beggars were completely convinced. They watched the red robe appear from scratch and disappear in an instant.Seeing the way Zabad was being strangled by the shrunken robes, no one had any doubts about Zhang Bai's identity.

"Thank you Ahurama for your kindness!" Father Sawtelle quickly bowed down again.Zhang Bai didn't show off anymore this time, but took action to help his father up.He actually doesn't like to be superior, and the situation just now was really out of helplessness.

"Father Sauter! There is no doubt about your piety. I am just a small punishment for Zabad. Let's all sit together! I want to talk about things in Peshawar." In his At the signal, all the beggars sat on the ground around the fire.

The beggars knew almost everything about Peshawar, and they quickly figured out the general situation in the city.

Everything started when Zhang Bai's spaceship left Peshawar.That day, the spacecraft suddenly disappeared from the Indus River. No one knew how the ship disappeared.

That night, there was a grand banquet for guests at the Sejia family's mansion, and almost all the nobles, except the royal family, attended.

The next day, rumors spread that the emperor had sent a navy to launch a surprise attack on the Sasanian coastline from the sea.But within a few days, a bigger event came and overshadowed this rumor.

The Roman emperor sent his younger brother as an envoy to the Kushan Empire.The messenger came by sea. It is said that he set out from Egypt, bypassed the Arabian Peninsula, and passed through the Indus River before arriving at Peshawar.

The messenger brought terrible news. Rome was deploying troops in Syria, preparing to join forces with Sassanid to completely destroy Parthia.The Kushans either chose Rome or chose to be enemies of Rome.Under the heavy pressure of Rome's national power, Vesudeva II remained unchanged and continued to play his delaying tricks, neither falling out with Rome nor refusing to help Parthia.

The nobles were very dissatisfied with this and asked the emperor to clarify his attitude. Most of them hoped to have good relations with Rome.This was both because of Rome's prestige and for maritime trade with Rome.

Soon, news suddenly came from Parthia that Sasanian suffered a disastrous defeat in the war with Parthia. King Ardashir was killed in battle, and his son Shapur ascended the throne as the new Sasanian king, named Shapur I.

For a time, the wind direction suddenly changed, and Vesudeva II, who withstood the pressure of Rome, became a wise monarch praised by thousands of people.

Two days later, another news came, saying that the Parthian king Artabanus IV also died during the war, and the throne was passed to a new king, his son Artabanus V, and King V took the throne. After that, he quickly defected to Zoroastrianism.

At this time, the nobles were excited again. It was well known that the original leader of Zoroastrianism was Ardashir. Although it was rumored that he was dead, the people still associated Zoroastrianism with Sassanid.

Things then turned into Parthia surrendering to Sassanid, and the situation was completely reversed.Vesudeva had difficulty in defending her words and immediately went into procrastination mode again.

However, a few days later, Emperor Vesudeva II suddenly died. This news was too sudden and had a great impact on people's hearts.At that time, people were in panic, and everyone was looking for news, and Father Sauter and the others were no exception.

He bribed a eunuch through an informant in the palace to get information.It was learned that when the emperor died, he died peacefully, without any signs of injury or poisoning.Another thing is that the prince will be crowned soon.

Sure enough, within a few days, the prince came out of the wat and actually ascended the throne.There is nothing difficult to understand when the king dies and the prince ascends the throne.However, there seemed to be no end to the rumors, and the news of the former queen's death once again shocked the nation.

Even more bizarre is that the former king and queen reportedly died together on the same day.

Kushan does not have the ancient barbaric tradition of empress being buried, and it would be unreasonable to say that the empress committed suicide.Various rumors spread, and the most surprising one was that the new king came out of the wat and killed the old king and queen. The succession was actually a coup.
