Chapter 191 Drunk and burning the midnight oil

In the medical clinic in Peshawar, Zhang Bai and Alexander had a pleasant conversation.They lit their oil lamps and prepared to talk all night long.

However, Zhang Bai had to worry about the situation of the pagoda. He explained the situation to Alexander, went to the next door room, asked Yu Ji and Daolao to restore the sound transmission, and hurried to the pagoda under the cover of night to meet Jin Chi and Lingling, and also Contact Hateri to take care of the monastic community and the crying bag.

The two set off immediately. Apart from Maximinus's guards and the white-robed monks, only Zhang Bai and Alexander were left inside and outside the hospital.

"You can tell me your plan now," Alexander urged impatiently in the room.

"Okay" Zhang Bai closed the door, sat down and said, "My idea is to let Persia rule itself, but nominally surrender to Rome. I can guarantee that Parthia and Kushan will surrender, but it's hard to say for Sassanid."

"Sassan will not surrender. You don't know yet. Sassan wants to exchange Seleucia and Ctesiphon for Kushan. Their great Vlamatar has already talked to me." Alexander said with a sneer.

Zhang Bai immediately reminded: "This is pushing you into a pit of fire. Parthia will be destroyed. The nobles there will not completely obey Rome, but will obey Sassanid. This is because of religion. So Rome gained the opportunity to resist. Seleucia, Sassanid gained Kushan, that is, vast and rich India.”

"That old fox thinks I'm a fool, and I didn't promise him anything."

"My plan is to marry the Parthian king and the Kushan princess to form an alliance to hold back Sassanid. In view of Sassanid's relatively strong military, I hope Rome can join this alliance and make you the leader of the alliance, the crown of the Roman emperor. You can add the glory of a Heavenly Khan to it." Zhang Bai moved the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty here to seduce Alexander.

"Khan of Heaven" Alexander was indeed a little moved. "The name is good, but a bit false. I still hope to personally lead the army to the Indus River, just like Alexander the Great. This is my dream."

"Actually, that's no problem. You can station troops in several places in Persia and declare Rome's suzerainty. For example, you can build one at the outlet of the Indus River. In this way, your ambition can be considered completed."

"This is good, this method is good." He was so stressed that his eyes sparkled.He suddenly changed his mind and said: "In other words, what we need is a large but weak Persia, not a powerful Persia that fights everywhere."

“Exactly right”

"So, a fragile alliance seems most suitable... It's a pity that you miscalculated. You probably don't know what happened last night."

Zhang Bai was shocked when he heard this. He was thinking of Laheshejia and Taoist Shilong. How could he possibly know this if he was under great pressure?

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Bai asked tentatively.

"What happened in the palace, last night, the new emperor of Guishan, Chuhu, was assassinated."

"What?" Zhang Bai stood up in shock. He had never expected this. "Who did the assassination? Have you caught the murderer?"

"We haven't caught the murderer. We don't know who is behind it. Now your alliance is gone. What are you going to do?"

Zhang Bai didn't answer, his brain felt like it was boiling.

Who has the motive to assassinate the king? It stands to reason that the one who wants to kill the wat the most is himself. Is there any benefit to killing the wat? He suddenly thought of the new owner of Sega at the main table last night, Minar Sega.

"There is another news that you need to know. The biggest suspects in assassinating the king now are the Que family." Alexander continued.

"How could it be the Que family, and what is it for?" Zhang Bai was shocked again.

"Because last night, almost overnight, the entire Que family, men, women, and children, disappeared. There are rumors outside that it was the Que family who avenged the old emperor and killed Chu Hu, and then fled."

"How is this possible?" Zhang Bai said in disbelief. How could such a large family all disappear overnight.

"Then who do you suspect now?" Zhang Bai asked.

"The emperor's position cannot remain vacant forever. I will be suspicious of whoever comes to power in the future."

"You can just do it, then who will come to power in the future?"

"There is no one left. Vesudev II only has two children, a boy and a girl. After searching the entire family, I can't find even a branch. The only Vesudev left is Princess Tolan in your hands."

When Zhang Bai heard this, his heart moved, and he felt that something was vaguely inappropriate, but he really couldn't remember it.

"But I didn't kill the emperor, so..." Zhang Bai suddenly saw Alexander looking at him with a smirk on his face, and suddenly understood.

"You are saying that someone wants to regard Princess Tuolan as a scapegoat and accuse her of regicide. It just so happens that Tuolan fled and the entire Que family disappeared. Tuolan cannot get rid of this blame even if he wants to." Zhang Bai suddenly realized.

"What kind of pot are you talking about... you can say whatever you want." Alexander was stunned for a moment, and then said bluntly: "You are still too young, where did you come from? I suspect that the entire Que family has suffered a disaster and died cleanly. .”

After all, he was a Roman emperor, and he was worthy of being a man at the pinnacle of politics. Zhang Bai couldn't help but feel a little convinced.

Although he also thought that the Que family might suffer disaster, he did not dare to imagine the tragedy of annihilation.Moreover, Alexander's speculation was so firm, and he obviously did not think it was unusual. From the perspective of extensive knowledge and political experience, he was indeed far inferior to Alexander.

He agreed: "It is indeed very possible. Otherwise, if a group of people fled and disappeared at the same time, this operation would be a bit difficult."

"It feels like in this situation, in addition to targeting the princess, there seems to be an intention to target you as well. The mastermind behind the scenes seems to know you. Have you ever offended anyone?"

"Why do you say that you are targeting me and offending people? Apart from Sasan, there is probably only the Blood Hades Sect."

"It seems that you know nothing about the situation in the East Prince's Mansion," Alexander said with a more serious expression: "Today's East Prince's Mansion is no better than before. Your master, Gui Kuzi, is already the head."

"What Taoist Master Bailong is that?" Zhang Bai said in shock. He had a very good impression of Bailong.

"He disappeared. It was then that I decided to leave Kunlun Mountain and return to Rome to fight for the throne."

"However, Gui Kuzi did not sincerely want to be my master. He just used me as a cover. He is actually the underworld envoy of the Blood Ming Sect." Zhang Bai said excitedly.

Alexander stared at Zhang Bai in surprise, and suddenly burst into laughter. Then he took another sip of wine, sighed, slumped on the chair and exclaimed: "It seems that my guess is right, Gui Ku Zi is blood." The internal agents of the Ming Sect, Bailong and Xukong, should be in trouble."

Zhang Bai was stunned when he heard this, "Even Elder Xukongzi..."

"Be careful. All the things you did in the East Palace, including Nanhua's escape, wounding Xuanshi Zheng, colluding with the Blood Hades Sect, and the Kushan and Parthian rebellions, I'm afraid all these things will be blamed on you. It's on your head. This bastard won't let you go."

There is another Shilong Taoist, Zhang Bai thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud.

"Gui Kuzi will hunt me down to the end in order to kill people and silence them. I understand," Zhang Bai said bitterly, "No wonder I have to be hunted down even after I have fled to India. So that's the truth."
