The guys in the Persian shop couldn't help but be vigilant when they saw someone coming to inquire about Li Xiaobao and others, and they shook their heads vigorously, indicating that they didn't know Li Xiaobao.

Umar mentioned the name of the older man in the Tang Dynasty trading house, and the man in the Persian shop said that he did not know this person either.

Umar took out a piece of paper with the names of the other men of the Tang Dynasty trading house, and he gave a series of names of many people, and the Persians still said they did not know each other.

Umar was so depressed that he had to take the men with him.

As soon as Umar and the others left, Li Xiaobao and the Persian shopkeeper walked out of the inner room together. The Persian treasurer asked, "Do you know all the people that the man was talking about?" ”

Li Xiaobao said: "He is right. ”

The Persian shopkeeper was puzzled and asked, "Then why don't you see them?" ”

Li Xiaobao said: "It's easy to know the names of those people, these people have a record in the government. ”

The Persian shopkeeper nodded and said, "I see! Be careful. ”

Li Xiaobao looked at the door in a daze. Seeing this, the Persian treasurer asked, "Do you want me to send someone to follow them secretly?" ”

Li Xiaobao had a lot of eyes, he shook his head and said, "Don't." If they were sent by the Romans, as soon as your people went out, they exposed their relationship with the Tang Dynasty trading company. ”

The Persian shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, nodded and said, "If they are really sent by the Romans, they must be secretly monitoring here." ”

Seeing that Li Xiaobao was still looking in the direction of the gate, the Persian shopkeeper knew what he was thinking and said, "But, what if these people are really your own people?" Isn't that a missed opportunity? ”

Li Xiaobao retracted his gaze and said, "No, if it's really our people, they will definitely come again." ”

As soon as he said this, a fellow saw through the crack in the door that the man who had just walked was among the people who had just left, and the man in the lead had returned, and he hurriedly said, "Here it is, here it is, here the man just now is here again." ”

The Persian shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Hide in quickly, and I will deal with him." ”

Li Xiaobao nodded, hid in the house, and hid behind the door to eavesdrop.

Soon, the man from the Egyptian caravan walked in again.

The Persian shopkeeper greeted him and said, "This guest officer, we don't know the person you are looking for, please inquire elsewhere." ”

The person who came said: "My name is Umar, and I am the guard of His Royal Highness the Northwest King of the Tang Dynasty. My prince and your Persian Emperor are good friends, and they have known each other since they were young. Your Majesty the Emperor's original trading house in Chang'an was at No. 11 Persian Mansion in Xishi. ”

He said some details about Hamid's stay in Chang'an, things that no one else could have known in such detail.

Hearing him say this, the Persian treasurer has already believed eighty percent. He involuntarily glanced into the room, and when Umar saw his movements, he had already guessed that Li Xiaobao was inside.

Li Xiaobao knew that there were some guards from Dashi around the prince, and he had also heard of the name Umar, but he had only been to the Northwest Palace, and he had not seen Umar at that time.

After Li Xiaobao heard about these situations, he already believed eighty percent in his heart, but he was already scared by the Romans, and those Romans were really bad, and he still didn't dare to show up for a while.

Seeing that there was no movement, Umar knew that Li Xiaobao still had some concerns. So, he talked about some of the situations in the Northwest Palace, from the direction of the neighborhood where the Northwest Palace is located, the situation at the gate, how many princesses the prince has, how many county kings and county lords, and the names of the white tiger, magpie and black panther and so on.

Hearing this, Li Xiaobao no longer had any doubts, so he opened the door curtain and walked out, he bowed and said, "I've seen adults." ”

Soon after, Umar and the others settled in the Persian trading community.

As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, and this is especially true of things between countries.

The Persians and the Romans had experienced hundreds of years of war and had a deep hatred for each other, but after the rise of the Great Cannibal, the Persians and the Romans were invaded by the Great Cannibal at the same time, so the two countries joined forces to deal with the Great Cannibal, and the relationship between the two sides became close again.

Therefore, the Persians were still very popular in Constantinople, and their safety was guaranteed.

In a room in the backyard of the Persian trading house, Umar asked, "How are they doing with the king's treasurer?" ”

Li Xiaobao shook his head sadly and said, "I don't know. ”

Umar asked, "What's going on?" When I was in Damascus, didn't I hear from you trading companies that he was in prison at the City Hall of Constantinople? ”

Li Xiaobao said: "It turned out to be. Later, I asked someone to find out what was going on, but I found out that they were no longer there, and I still don't know where they went. ”

Umar asked nervously, "Are they still alive?" "You must know that one of the missions he came here this time is to rescue Wang Huili and others, and if something happens to Wang Huili, he will not be able to complete the task.

Li Xiaobao said: "I don't know. But, maybe, should, maybe be fine. Umar said dissatisfiedly, "What do you call that?" What's going on? ”

Li Xiaobao said: "I have asked someone to inquire, and there should be news tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

In the evening of the next day, the news finally came that Wang Huili and the others were still alive, and the executing justice personally named them and transferred them to other prisons, where they were held, and they were trying to inquire. It is said that Grand Duke Stefan also intervened in this matter.

The Persian trading company where Umar and others are located is a branch opened by Hamid in Constantinople, they have been doing business here for many years, and their contacts are very extensive, and Li Xiaobao and others inquired about the situation through the Persians.

Umar took out a suitcase, which was full of Kaiyuan Tongbao banknotes, which, although not usable in Constantinople, could be exchanged for Persian silver coins when they were brought back to Persia.

Umar said: "You can collect the money first, and please worry about the affairs of the king's shopkeeper and others." ”

The shopkeeper of the Persian trading company wanted to find out the news, which naturally cost a lot of money, so he took it unceremoniously and said, "Please rest assured! I'll get the exact picture as soon as I can. ”

The Persians were indeed well connected, and news soon followed. It turned out that the mayor Marquis Marquis Martel was caught by Grand Duke Stefan in the matter of embezzling the property of the Tang Dynasty trading company, and the queen Kent Tanka instructed Marquis Marcel to solve the problem as soon as possible through the court governor. As a result, the Marquis of Martel had murderous intentions against Wang Huili and others.
