"Welcome, my lord, please come in, it is a great honor for me to have you in our watch shop. Hetri nodded his head and looked at a distinguished guest with a flattering face.

The guest was a local nobleman, in his fifties, with a well-trimmed beard on his chin, a satin garment, a large turban, followed by two servants, and five or six guards.

Hetri has been in the court for many years, and it is his ability to serve the powerful and powerful. One of the most important skills is to watch people put dishes on their plates, like today's visitors, to see how he dresses, to see the arrogance of his servants and guards, who are obviously the richest of the best.

"You may be seated! I don't know what you call it?" he asked, bringing a large armchair with his own hands, placing it in front of the square table in the lobby of the store, and letting Lingling make a pot of crisp tea, filling the teacup with tea, and placing it in front of the distinguished guest, asking him to take it as he pleased.

"This is the patriarch of the Sega family, the famous Lord Rahsega!" a personal servant immediately introduced.

"It turned out to be the Elder Sega, please sit down, and I will present the best goods in the store immediately. Hetri quickly brought some of the best watches and a table clock in the shop to the table for a sample of Rahsega.

Soon Rahsega found a golden pocket watch and a porcelain table clock, and then departed, without even asking the price, leaving only two servants and a guard to settle the money and carry the goods. He himself took the rest of the guards and left in a hurry.

Hetri's main purpose in Peshawar was to find out the news, and finally a big man came, and he planned to talk something, but he didn't expect the old man to act in such a hurry, so that he barely had time to catch up with the words.

He was unwilling, so he left a backhand.

Before the servants left, Hetri quickly took out a small key made of brass, gave it to the servant, and instructed: "This clock needs to be wound every day, and this key should be used when winding, and the small hole under the hands of the table clock should be twisted, but remember not to wind it too tightly every time, if the spring is broken, it will not be good, in that case, it will need to be sent to the shop for repair, remember!"

The servant was arrogant, and casually agreed, and beckoned Hatri to pack the clock and pocket watch, and send them back to Sega's mansion.

......

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

A series of screams rang out from the cave in the wall, "Ahurama, spare my life!

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

Finally, even Father Sotel knelt down, "Please Ahurama atone, Zabad is a rough man and ignorant person, but he is my only son, please raise your noble hand." When he said this, the other beggars next to him also knelt down and pleaded.

Zhang Bai originally wanted Zabad to suffer like Pasha, but when he heard that he was actually Sotel's son, and saw that everyone was helping to intercede, he knew that he must not go too far.

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

The beggars were completely convinced, and they watched with their own eyes as the red robe grew from nothing and disappeared in an instant. Seeing Zabad strangled to death by his shrunken robes, no one still had any doubts about Zhang Bai's identity.

"Thank you Ahurama for your kindness!" said Daddy Sotel bowed down again. Zhang Bai didn't pose again this time, but took action to help his father up. He doesn't really like to be on top, and the situation just now is really out of helplessness.

"Daddy Sotel, there is no doubt about your piety, and I have only a small punishment for Zabad. All of us, sit together! I want to talk about Peshawar. At his signal, all the beggars sat on the ground around the fire.

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

It all started when Zhang Bai's spaceship left Peshawar. That day, the spaceship suddenly disappeared from the Indus River, and no one knew how the ship had disappeared.

That night, the Sega family's mansion had a feast, and almost all the nobles, except the royal family, attended.

The next day, there was a rumor that the emperor had sent a navy to attack the Sassanid coastline from the sea. But a few days later, an even bigger event came, overshadowing the rumor.

The Roman Emperor sent his younger brother as an emissary to the Kushan Empire. The messenger came from the sea, supposedly from Egypt, bypassing the Arabian Peninsula and crossing the Indus River to Peshawar.

The messenger brought terrible news that Rome was preparing to join forces with the Sassanids to destroy Parthia once and for all. Kushan either chose Rome or chose to be the enemy of Rome. Under the weight of Roman prestige, Vesudeva II remained the same, continuing to play his delaying tricks, neither turning against Rome nor refusing to help Parthia.

The nobles were very dissatisfied with this, and asked the emperor to make his attitude clear, and most of them wanted to make peace with Rome. This was both because of Rome's prestige and for maritime trade with Rome.

Soon after, news came from Parthia that the Sassanids had suffered a crushing defeat in the war with Parthia, that King Ardashir had been killed, and that his son Shapur had been enthroned as the new Sassanid king, called Shapur I.

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

Two days later, another news came that the Parthian king Artaban IV had also died in the war, and that the throne had passed to the new king, his son Aldaban V, and that the fifth king had taken refuge in Zoroastrianism soon after his accession to the throne.

At this time, the nobles were boiling again, and the original leader of Zoroastrianism was Ardashir, which was well known, and although it was rumored that he was dead, the people still associated Zoroastrianism with Sassanid.

The matter then became the surrender of Parthia to Sassanid, and the situation was completely reversed. Vesudeva was speechless and immediately switched to procrastination mode again.

However, a few days later, Emperor Vesudeva II died suddenly, and the news was too sudden and too devastating to people's hearts. At that time, people were panicking, everyone was listening to the news, and Daddy Sottle was no exception.

He bribed a eunuch through the inner response in the palace to learn information. When it was learned that the emperor was dying, he died peacefully, with no signs of injury or poisoning. There is another thing, that is, the crown prince is out of wat and will soon ascend the throne.

Sure enough, within a few days, the crown prince was really on the throne. The death of the king and the accession of the crown prince to the throne are not incomprehensible. However, the rumors seemed to have no end, and the news of the death of the former queen once again shocked the people.

What is even more bizarre is that the former king and queen are said to have died together on the same day.

Kushan does not have the ancient barbaric tradition of the queen's burial, and it is not quite like the queen's suicide. As a result, various rumors arose, the most surprising of which was that the new king went out of Wat and killed the old king and queen, and the succession to the throne was actually a coup d'état.
