Zhang Bai didn't know where Mr. Suraj lived. He just heard that the palace was in Dongcheng and came here.

They asked around for Suraj's residence, but couldn't find it after looking around.

Rich families in Dongcheng gathered together, and the doorkeepers' nostrils were turned upward, asking questions without knowing anything.As a last resort, he went to the market in Seleucia in the west city to inquire. Suraj was a big businessman. Maybe more people here knew him.

The market in Seleucia was the economic core of the Mesopotamia at that time, and the Mesopotamia was the economic core of the entire Near East and Middle East. Its prosperity even surpassed that of the Central Plains, and its prosperity was very different.

There are no palaces and towers here, and there are no princes or nobles. There are only endless handicraft shops, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, shipwrights, turners, as well as cloth sellers, fur sellers, and livestock traders.Of course, there are also people selling food, and the baker, for example, is the most respected among them.

Zhang Bai had no local currency in his hand, so he wanted to find a money shop and exchange the gold coins brought by Kushan for some local currency.

Like Chen Zheng and Zheng Chuo, he was an experienced businessman, but Chen Zhu didn't know that.He felt that Zhang Bai was young and probably didn't know how to do business, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.So he asked Zheng Chuo to protect Zhang Bai tightly, and he took the lead in everything. He took care of all the inquiries and directions.

Zhang Bai didn't want to expose the details, so he left it to Chen Ye, who only watched from the side.It didn't take long and the coins were exchanged.

Chen Huo's family had been doing business for generations, but his father's generation stopped doing business when they encountered war.He has been exposed to foreign language since childhood and knows a lot of foreign languages, including Persian.

He spoke to the locals and was understood by both sides.While exchanging money, he inquired about Suraj's residence.

But I asked many families and no one knew.

Logically speaking, Mr. Suraj is a big businessman and well-known in Kushan. Why can't he be found?

The three of them were surprised, but there was no other way. Zhang Bai suggested that everyone eat and think of ideas while eating.

So they found a restaurant. The food here was not as good as in China. There were only two types of dishes.One is a thick naan-like pancake with vegetables, like a thickened old Beijing chicken roll.The other is roasted lamb, called kababu. The roasted meat tastes very fragrant.

I ordered meat and naan, but there was no wine in the store, so I asked the owner to fill his water bottle with water, and drank the water while eating.

We were flying in the sky all the way. The scenery was amazing and we had a good rest. However, the food was too monotonous and there was no wine.Chen Chuo was okay, but Zheng Chuo, a bearded man, couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing that he could only drink water after finally arriving in the capital, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Nowhere is as good as home!"

A few people were frowning and thinking about ideas here. Zhang Bai was considering whether to let Zhuzhu out, but he couldn't be allowed to search the whole city, right?Even if we only search the palace, the palace occupies a large area. Besides, is Suraj in the palace?

"Excuse me, are you from Han?" A person approached and asked.

At first glance, this person is wearing local Greek-style clothing, but his face looks a bit like a Central Asian. He is tall, with black hair and green eyes.

"We are indeed from the Han Dynasty. I wonder what this brother has to say?"

"My name is Solomon Pasha. I am an Armenian and I am engaged in the slave business here." The pasha introduced himself, "Do you look like you are looking for someone? I can help you find someone."

Turns out to be a slave trader.

"Oh! Really?" Zhang Bai and others were surprised and happy. Why didn't they think of finding a local tour guide?

"The person we are looking for is called Samad Suraj. He is a wealthy businessman from Peshawar. We are friends he invited. Do you know Suraj?"

"I do know that there is a gentleman named Suraj. I met him when we were doing business in the past." Pasha said.

"Oh! Great, where does he live?" Chen Yao and Zheng Chuo were excited, but Zhang Bai was observing coldly.

"Well! It's different from what you said, what I said

Suraj is not from Kushan, he is from Kangju, and he was the former prime minister of Kangju.It’s not easy to see him...well..."

Zhang Bai smiled on the side and said: "You're welcome, it's the guide money, right? We are all sensible people, please tell us the number!"

Because he looks like a child, and he always dresses casually.Pasha didn't pay much attention to Zhang Bai at first, thinking he was a follower or something.Only when Zhang Bai opened his mouth did he pay attention.

This child is not an ordinary person, he is a mage, at least a mage apprentice.

Zhang Bai had also seen Pasha's identity a long time ago. He was a cultivator of immortality.

Seeing Pasha's surprised look, Zhang Bai put his left hand into his sleeve and took out a lustrous pearl, which was a spiritual pearl.He held the spirit bead and waved it leisurely in front of the pasha's eyes.

Obviously, Pasha's eyes are no longer his own.If the spirit bead shakes to the left eyeball, it will follow the left eye; if the spirit bead shakes to the right eyeball, it will follow the right.

"As long as you bring us into Mr. Suraj's house and introduce us to him, this pearl will be yours." Zhang Bai smiled evilly and continued to shake the spiritual pearl.

"No problem, no problem. Are you a mage from Han? How do you have a magic pearl? This is so rare, my God. With this, I, the pasha, can help you with everything."

Chen Huo and Zheng Chuo also looked at the pearl with strange expressions. They had been doing business for a long time and had extensive knowledge. They had also been generals and had seen the world. They really couldn't see how extraordinary this pearl was.

Zheng Chuo was stunned and said: "These pearls are not that good! There are many larger ones near the South China Sea. Their value is not low, so there is no need to make such a fuss!" He wondered if these two people had never seen good pearls before. ?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bai and Pasha turned around at the same time, showing their faces of class struggle, and said at the same time: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

A critical hit!Zheng Chuo suddenly blushed for no reason, and Chen Huo laughed beside him, waving his hand to calm him down.

Zhang Bai took the opportunity to ask Pasha about the situation here. Under the radiance of the spiritual pearl, the slave trader told him everything he should and should not say.

Pasha specialized in selling slaves between Rome and the Near East. He often ran around the Roman army. Once the Romans won a victory, he immediately went to acquire prisoners of war. After a sufficient number, he would transport the slaves further away in search of rich people. Powerful buyer.

Ctesiphon was where he came most often, so he was very familiar with the local dignitaries.

The Suraj he was talking about was the prime minister of Kangju, a small country in Central Asia, a few years ago.He began to assist the king when he was young and served for more than ten years.

Later, when the king died and civil strife broke out in the country, he fled to Ctesiphon. With his ability and reputation, the king immediately met with him.But for some reason, the king never gave him any official position. Suraj himself lived in seclusion and few people saw him.
