Zhang Bai didn't know where Master Su Raj lived, but he came when he heard that the palace was in Dongcheng.

They looked around for Suraj's residence, but they couldn't find it.

The big families in Dongcheng are crowded, and the nostrils of the gatekeeper are facing the sky, and they don't know what to inquire about. As a last resort, he went to the market in Seleucia, the western city, and inquired, Suraj was a big merchant, and maybe he was known more here.

The Seleucian market was the economic core of the two river basins at that time, and the two river basins were the economic core of the entire Near East and the Middle East.

There are no palaces, no princes and nobles, only a continuous stream of handicraft shops, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, shipwrights, charioteers, and clothiers, fursmen, and livestock. Of course, there are also those who sell food, such as bakers, who are the most respected among them.

Zhang Bai didn't have the local currency in his hand, so he wanted to find a money shop and exchange the gold coins brought by Guishan for some local coins.

He, like Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan, are both experienced businessmen, but Chen Cao doesn't know. He felt that Zhang Bai was young and should not know how to do business, and he was afraid that something would happen to him. asked Zheng Sui to protect Zhang Bai tightly, and he grabbed everything in his head, and he took care of all the things to ask for directions and inquire.

Zhang Bai didn't want to expose the details, so he had to let Chen Cao do it, he only watched from the side. It didn't take long for the coin to be replaced.

Chen Cao's family had been in business for generations, but it was only in his father's generation that he stopped when he encountered war. Since childhood, he has been familiar with some foreign Chinese, including Persian.

He spoke to the locals and could understand them on both sides. As he exchanged money, he inquired about Suraj's residence.

But I asked a lot of people, but no one knew.

It stands to reason that Master Suraj is a big businessman, and he also has a head and face in Guishan, so why can't he find it?

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

So they found a restaurant, where the food is not as good as Chinese, and there are only two kinds of dishes. One is a thick naan-like pancake with vegetables, like a thickened old Peking chicken roll. The other is roast mutton, called kababu, which tastes very fragrant.

After ordering meat and naan, there was no alcohol in the shop, so the owner filled his kettle with water and ate while drinking.

This road is flying in the sky, the scenery is good, and the rest is good, but the diet is too monotonous, and there is no wine. Chen Yu was okay, Zheng Sui's beard was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he could only drink water when he finally came to the national capital.

"It's not as good as at home!"

A few people frowned, thinking about the idea here, Zhang Bai was thinking about whether to let the pig out, but he couldn't let him search the whole city, right? Even if he only searched the palace, the palace occupied a lot of land, and besides, Su Raj was not in the palace?

"Excuse me, are you from the Han Kingdom?" asked a person next to him.

At first glance, this man is in local Hellenistic clothing, but his face is somewhat like that of a Central Asian, with a tall figure, full black hair, and turquoise eyes.

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

"My name is Solomon Pasha, and I am an Armenian, and I am in the slave business here. The Pasha introduced himself, "Do you look like you're looking for someone? I can ask for you." ”

It turned out to be a slave trader.

"Oh, is it?" Zhang Bai was surprised and delighted, why didn't he think of finding a local tour guide?

"We are looking for a man named Samad Suraj, a wealthy businessman from Peshawar, and we are his friends. Do you know Suraj?"

"The old man named Suraj, I do know that there is one who I used to know in business. Pasha said.

"Oh, great, where does he live?" Chen Cao Zheng Xuan was excited, but Zhang Bai was watching coldly.

"Well, that's not what you said, I said

Su Raj is not from Kushan, he is from Kangju, and he is the former prime minister of Kangjuguo. It's not easy to see him... Well..."

Zhang Bai said with a smile on the side: "You're welcome, it's the guide money, right? We are all reasonable people, please say the number!"

Because it looks like a child, and the dress is always casual. Pasha didn't pay much attention to Zhang Bai at first, thinking that it was an entourage or something. At this time, as soon as Zhang Bai spoke, he paid attention.

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

Zhang Bai had long seen Pasha's identity, this was an immortal cultivator.

Seeing Pasha's surprised look, Zhang Bai put his left hand into his sleeve and took out a lustrous pearl, which was a spirit pearl. He took the orb and shook it unhurriedly in front of Pasha's eyes.

Obviously, Pasha's eyes are no longer his own. The spirit bead is dangled to the left eyeball and followed to the left, and the spirit bead is dangled to the right eyeball and followed to the right.

"All you have to do is bring us into Lord Suraj's mansion and introduce us to him, and this pearl will be yours. Zhang Bai smiled wickedly and continued to shake the spirit bead.

"No problem, no problem, are you a mage from the Han Kingdom? How can you have a magic pearl? This is too rare to have my God. With this, I, Pasha, can help you with everything. ”

Chen Yu and Zheng Xuan also looked at this pearl, showing strange expressions, the two of them have been in business for a long time, have extensive knowledge, and have been generals and seen the world, they really can't see how great this pearl is.

Zheng Xuan straightened his stomach and said with a split face: "This pearl is not bad! There are some bigger ones near the South China Sea than this, and the value is not low, so there is no need to make such a fuss!"

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

Zheng Xuan blushed inexplicably, saw Chen Cao laughing beside him, and waved his hand to let him calm down.

Zhang Bai took the opportunity to ask Pasha about the situation here, and under the light of the spirit beads, the slave trader said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

Pasha specialized in the slave trade between Rome and the Near East, and used to run around the Roman army, but once the Romans were victorious, he immediately went to buy prisoners of war, and when they were sufficient, he transported them farther away in search of wealthy and powerful buyers.

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

The Suraj he was talking about was the prime minister of the small Central Asian country of Kangju a few years ago. He began assisting the King as a young man and served for more than a decade.

When the king died and there was civil strife in the country, he fled to Ctesiphon, and with his ability and fame, the king immediately met him. But I don't know what's going on, the king has never given him any official position, and Suraj himself lives in seclusion, and few people have seen him.
