Chapter 178: Merit and Fame

Zhang Bai pretended to add wine to Alexander, and said softly: "I appreciate Cicero more, 'Infinite money is the driving force of war.'" ”

"Do you know Cicero?" Alexander was stunned, Cicero was a famous Roman philosopher and orator, but not many people outside of Rome knew about it at the time.

Zhang Bai not only knew Cicero, but also knew Cicero's famous sentences. It really surprised Alexander: "You are really surprising sometimes!"

"Well, I'm not going to hide it from you. The perennial harassment of our borders by the Persian tribes has not only blocked my trade routes to the Han Dynasty, but also the source of my slaves, and my ambition to emulate Alexander the Great. ”

Zhang Bai sighed, "Your ambition is really in the way! If it was just a matter of trade routes and slaves, it would be easy to solve, but your ambition has spread all the way to India, and it is difficult for everyone to deal with it!"

"Ambition... What an interesting way to say. Alexander snorted and laughed.

"It seems that we have a lot to talk about, so it is better to make an appointment at another time and place! ”

"Okay, go to your infirmary. ”

"Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, there's not a single doctor in the infirmary!"

"Got it, let them go right away, the kid is verbose. ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Bai lowered his head and chuckled softly playfully.

......

Master Lahe, who was chatting and laughing with the sodator, received a secret report from the attendant, "But the family's business is done." ”

Master Rahe nodded and waved him down. He saluted to the house: "But the master, you continue to have fun, I have some family affairs here and have to leave the table for a while, it's rude." ”

But he returned the courtesy: "Since Master Sega has stepped down, don't work too hard." ”

"I'm used to toiling, take your time, thank you for your concern. With that, Rah left his seat, went to a secluded place, summoned the attendant of the secret report, and carefully inquired about the scene of the house. When he learned that the Thorn Wind was erasing the traces and restoring the mansion to new state, he couldn't help but say hello.

"Sir, there are two more things to report. The squire whispered, "It's about the Roman envoys." ”

"Say!"

"Just now, the Roman envoy was talking to two people in a row. One was the Sassanid Grand Vramatar, and the two drank together, but not in the seats, but at the stone railing at the edge of the room. It was not clear what they were talking about, and at first the Sassanids were clearly rejected, and then Hazar Path personally visited the Roman envoys, and this time it seemed to be very harmonious. ”

"Big Vlamatar has left the table to visit in person?" Rahe was a little surprised.

"Yes, sir. ”

"Keep talking!"

When the Romans and Sassanids had finished talking, they returned to their seats, but soon left alone, and came to the edge of the room, behind their seats. This time, it seemed to be just him, but he did talk to the little valet who served the wine for a while. ”

"Mantai, Boogie manservant?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"Something is strange. It is impossible for the Boogie valets to understand the Roman language, yet the two of them have spoken more than a sentence or two, although they look respectful, but the expressions of the Roman envoys... How do you say that? It seems to be the happiest time of the day. ”

Phuket manservant refers to the male servant between the ages of 11 and 16 in the family, and the name is Phuket in Segar Province, because of his young and physical strength, he is often used as an occasion to show his head, such as serving drinks and running errands.

These half-grown children were bought everywhere and raised as slaves, Arabs, Central Asians, blacks, and Armenians, but there could never have been Romans.

"What would happen to a servant?" Rah still didn't understand.

"I'm not afraid of him making trouble, but after Gu Fei's matter was discovered, you let us pay attention to the child in the red robe, although this one is not wearing a red robe, but it is indeed a child. The squire replied.

Rahe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded approvingly: "Well said, bring this kid to me at once, and go to the back hall! ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"There is also a matter of the family, continue to investigate. ”

"Yes!"

Rah returned to the banquet hall and looked at the seat of the house with a gloomy look as if he were looking at a dead man. He didn't notice Rah's eyes, but the Shilong Daoist behind him did.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they understood.

Instead of returning to his seat, Rach went straight back to the back hall.

Minar was toasting with Emir Taha, several palace ministers, and Xianbei envoys, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Rahe had returned, so he called one of his chamberlains, whispered in his ear, and told him to report to Rahe.

......

Zhang Bai returned to the kitchen, and a group of Phuket prepared the third round of wine and food. He saw the Crying Bag Boogie, although everyone was wearing veils, but this Crying Bag had a feature, that is, there was a small mole above the left eyebrow, which he recognized immediately.

The kitchen was noisy and busy, and Zhang Bai mixed in with the crowd, preparing to move a tray like a big table together, with all the wine, meat and fruit on the tray, and the whole thing was extremely heavy.

At this moment, two guards with knives suddenly entered the kitchen, and no one dared to stop them, but they watched in horror. The two walked directly towards Zhang Bai, surrounded one after the other, and said sharply: "You, come with us and go to see Master Lahe." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Bai asked.

A person next to him fainted in fright, and Zhang Bai squinted at it, it was a crying bag. He laughed secretly in his heart, it was really cowardly. On the surface, he made a frightened and cautious look, and shouted yes to the guards.

......

In the back hall, Lord Rah heard a message from his son Minnar that Taha, the prince of the emir, had agreed to any action of the Sega, and he would not interfere.

Another good news today, it really went well today. It was time to move on to the next step, and he sent one of his attendants to the Blood Cult to report to them.

Then he sat upright in the hall and waited for the child to be interrogated. Not long after, two guards walked into the back hall with a boogie.

The child was wearing a veil and couldn't see his face clearly, so Rach asked the guards to take it off. Zhang Bai did not resist, and the veil was removed, revealing his smiling Han face.

"Hello Master Rahe! Zhang Bai bowed with his fists in accordance with Han etiquette.

Rahe was startled, and after thinking about it, he remembered that this was not the disciple of the god Sharama, who had seen them at a family banquet in the palace when Vesudeva II was celebrating the princess's recovery.

"Why are you?" Rah was unsettled, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, this was the first time that the whole plan had been carried out so far.

"It's me, Master Rah is so busy that he doesn't notice me. ”

"You're dressed well, but you've been invited, aren't you?Ahurama is coming, just let me know, why wear the clothes of these servants?" Rah sneered at him, wanting to try his hand at the white pounds.

"The master said with a smile, you have arranged a good game, and you have contacted so many top masters, where do I dare to be your opponent and enter your banquet. How dare you show up casually?" Zhang Bai smiled.

It seems that this kid knows some background, and he is worthy of being the leader of Zoroastrianism, and he will definitely get it in time now, but there should be no chance. Thinking about it, Rahe asked, "Then what is the purpose of your visit, and where is your master?"
