Chapter 149: Serial Strategy
"You're good, but how do you do it?" Nanhua asked.
"It's too early to say how. We still lack a few conditions. First, we don't know who the sender is, so we can't do it. Second, the relationship between the Shilong Daoist and his disciples is not clear to us.
The only thing that can be determined now is that between those core disciples of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, it shouldn't be difficult to get separated. There is also the relationship between King Izutsu and the stone dragon. Of course, in my opinion, with the narrow-minded virtue of the Shilong Dao people, their relationship is not good. ”
"It's not easy to separate the king, is it? Shi Long will definitely protect him strictly. Yu Jidao.
"So we have to take it one step at a time, and the first step is to get a foothold in Peshawar to ask all parties and then come up with a plan that goes all out. ”
"The big stupa is a good place, but it's a pity that they occupy it. Nanhua said regretfully, "Su Raj's family is not too safe, and when I was the crown prince, I was very clear about our relationship with Su Raj. ”
"Don't worry, two masters, I've already thought about this matter. Zhang Bai seemed confident.
......
On the Zero, after many days of treatment, Daolao's injuries improved greatly. On this day, when I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I said was: "What about the beast? ”
When he learned that the beast had entered everyone's stomachs and that all the members were safe except for him, he let out a long breath and lay down for a while before sitting up. He hadn't eaten well for a few days, but now that he had recovered a bit, he immediately felt hungry.
Zheng Xuan, who was saved by Daolao, has been taking care of him by his side, and he was very happy to see him wake up before, but now when he heard that Daolao was hungry, he should have improved greatly, and he was even more happy, so he gave him porridge and water.
When the others heard that Dao Lao had woken up, they also came over to ask for warmth, especially Chen Cao, Huang Xian, and Hetri, who had known each other since Tessiphon.
Hetriel made a special way for him to marinate a piece of animal meat. When he was fighting the beast, Hetri ran too fast and felt ashamed, but he actually apologized, but fortunately Daolao didn't care at all.
Chen Cao and Huang Xi gave him half a piece of brocade, which was the last bit of possessions they had, and Huang Xi's silk brocade was given to Pasha for him to sell in Seleucia, and most of Chen Cao's silk was stored in Suraj's house by Nanhua and Zhang Bai, and put it together with Jianmu in the basement, and now I don't know what happened.
For Chen Cao, brocade is an extremely important thing, and like the safety of his entourage, it is related to the success or failure of his trip.
This time, what was given to Dao Lao was the last bit of stock he had in hand, and he was completely grateful to him for his righteous act of resisting the fierce beast in order to save Zheng Xuan.
Nanhua was also very generous, and gave him a hand shield and a leather armor, both of which were made from materials obtained from the beast. The hand shield is made of half of the hooves and is worn on Inara's left arm, which can be used to defend against attacks at any time. Leather armor is carefully cut from animal skins.
Seeing that the master was generous, Zhang Bai was not stingy. So he was ruthless and gave him more than 20 spirit beads to restore his strength.
All these gifts made Dao Lao a little embarrassed.
......
More than twenty days later, Peshawar.
In the market in the city, a new clinic was opened, which was in tatters, with no name or surname, and only two doctors.
Peshawar was originally very dependent on Nanhua to practice medicine, with only a few doctors and no decent medical clinic, this one was considered the best in the area, so the locals gave it the name "Roman Medical Hall".
It is so called because the owner of this place was a Roman doctor, who was actually Titus.
Titus was very excited to finally open his own medical hall, although all the expenses were paid for by Zhang Bai, and Zhang Bai also told him that this was a temporary measure to regain the throne of Kushan, but Titus looked at the medical hall and still looked at it very pleasing to the eye.
At this time, there was no decoration in the medical hall, and even the walls were not fully painted, and there were still some damages. But Titus didn't care, and he built two walls out of wood, in the shape of a cross, dividing the house into four rooms.
The one closest to the entrance serves as a lobby for patients. There are two rooms next to it, one for surgery, which can also be used as an operating room. The other room is internal medicine, which is for Yu Ji.
Then from the back door of the internal and external departments, there is access to the last room, which is used as a patient room.
There is already a patient in the ward, and this is Inalao. His body has been better for the most part, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, and Dao Lao has recovered in only about half a month, which can be regarded as a physical rebellion.
At this time, if he really needs to fight, he can already fight. So he pretended to be a sick man, so that he could continue his recovery and take care of Titus and Hugi.
There are three people along the way, usually Titus is in charge of the affairs in the medical hall, and when he acts in private, it is Yu Ji who is the leader.
Zhang Bai divided these people under him into four roads, except for Yu Ji, Daolao, and Titus. Nanhua Laoxian took Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan, and Huang Xian and stayed to watch the house. The reason why these are left is because they are easy to expose, Nanhua has lived in Peshawar for many years, and there are too many people who know him, while the other three are all Han faces, and the local language is not as fluent as the strong cultivators, so they are easy to recognize.
On the other hand, Hetri took Jin Chi and Lingling, and they also opened a shop in the market, ** Clocks.
For these clocks, Zhang Bai specially went to the dream world, found a few watch shops and jewelry stores, selected some cheap mechanical watches and cheap necklaces, and used them to change their faces. Then, I found a few old-fashioned mechanical clocks, which were difficult to find, and I found three in total, all of which were used as the store's signature products.
Hetri brought the shop a few more expensive tables, and arranged the clocks and watches in a neat and tidy manner. I also used small pieces of thin wooden boards to write the price, which was always a super high price that scared people to death.
In this way, Hetri dressed as a rich man, sat in the shop, and became the owner of the watch shop, and Jin Chi and Lingling became the guys who ran errands for him.
This way, openly and secretly Hetri is in charge, and the reason is simple, he has been the leader of the Parthian forbidden army, good at commanding, and Lingling is with him, Zhang Bai took a fancy to Hetri's fast escape, and he didn't want Lingling to make a mistake.
In the last way, Zhang Bai was alone. However, he still has Pigs, whether it is infiltrating and investigating, the manpower is quite enough, in short, it is convenient to carry Pigs by himself.
As soon as he returned to Peshawar, he went straight to Suraj's mansion.
Because there were still his goods in the basement there, there were a lot of building wood, and Chen Cao's brocade silk, which were very valuable.
In this operation, he spent a lot of silver coins in order to let the other two passers-by take down the shop, although these silver coins were sponsored by the Surin family, but they made a lot of money at once, which still made his heart bleed, and these goods in the basement should not be lost again, if that happened, he felt that he would be distressed to death.
Going to the Surakiart Mansion and tracking down the mystery of Surakiart's whereabouts is also a purpose.
After a trip to Parthia, he found that Suraj had not been to Ctesiphon. So where did he go? There was a letter in the name of Suraj, and who wrote it?
At night, he easily sneaked outside the walls of Suraj's mansion, and he was afraid of an ambush and did not dare to enter, so he released Piggy to scout with his clairvoyant eyes.
This basement is connected by a secret door, and it is quite hidden in itself, and even the servants of the house do not know much about it. After Zhang Bai set off for Parthia, Hou Nanhua also deliberately cast spells many times, adding several spells to hide the entrance.
It seems that nothing has changed here, including the inventory in the basement, Zhang Bai breathed a sigh of relief, everything is there.
It's just that Suraj's whereabouts have not been found, the mansion is quiet, and there is only a faint chanting sound in the night, which comes intermittently.
