Chapter Eighty-Six: Whereabouts Unknown
Hearing Zhang Bai's persuasion, the king felt more comfortable, his face relaxed a little, and he no longer sat upright. Blinking his eyes to the pancake roll on the plate, the large hole in the pancake roll like an eye, also glared at the king. It's really big-eyed and small-eyed, looking at each other two fools.
Zhang Bai suddenly understood, and immediately took a clean knife and fork, chopped the pancakes and meat filling into seven or eight small pieces, and then inserted a piece of the fork and sent it to the king's mouth, flattering: "The kid doesn't know how to take care of the king, please forgive your majesty." The king smiled and opened his mouth to smile.
Mu Jing couldn't stand it anymore, "This is too servile, isn't it?" She rolled her eyes and disappeared in place with a sigh of anger.
Zhang Bai snickered in his heart, feeling that Mu Jing was pedantic. God knows how difficult this giant baby king is to deal with. Whether it is Brother Ma or Qingchi, he doesn't listen to what he says, let alone answer. Even Mu Jing spoke to him, but only responded politely.
He only listened to Zhang Bai.
Zhang Bai saved him and was still the commander of the spaceship. Second, Zhang Bai showed him the identity of his family's disciple, and Ardaban mistakenly thought that he was a noble child, and felt very close and recognized it. Again, Zhang Bai is from modern times, he has watched some Qing court dramas, and he knows how to shoot the monarch's sycophants better than others.
So he learned from the same, all kinds of flattery had no bottom line, and he felt that he was already a hardcore traitor.
In fact, this king is not bad, but the king's frame is big, and he is sure that he has been a good boy since he was a child, and he has honestly learned the king's stinky problems.
Although he has many problems, how can he help the great Chinese culture is broad and profound, including the long-standing court sycophants. Zhang Bai performed so according to the plot of the film and television drama, and Aldaban felt very useful, and in just one day, he became almost inseparable from him.
"Your Majesty, although I would very much like to spend quality time with you, but your main force is by the river, should we join General Dadhebon as soon as possible?" Zhang Bai asked.
The king had no idea about this, so he was silent, and sat upright, unmoved.
Zhang Bai rolled his eyes in his heart, and said with a smile: "Dadeheone is the most loyal general to you, quite prestigious, and a good hand at marching and fighting. You need to maintain a good relationship with him, and since you have come, it is better to meet with him, and I am willing to accompany you, what do you think?"
As soon as the king heard that Zhang Bai was going with him, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Very good, let's go now, you can help me prepare." "The preparation he said was to tidy up and dress up.
Zhang Bai sighed, where is the packing here to prepare!
He finally understood why there were so many rebellions in the capital Tai Xifeng. To tell the truth, what do you say about this king's character? He is too ungrounded, and if he were a local nobleman, he would be very disappointed in him. Therefore, it is necessary to enlist the support of Dad Hebone.
From the point of view of enlisting the support of the local aristocracy, this is already the last hope.
"You are Your Majesty, what is there to prepare for meeting a courtier? But there is one thing that is very important, and it must be determined in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to answer if the general asks. Zhang Bai said, "I need to inquire about someone, do you know Samad Suraj?"
"Do you know Suraj?" Ardaban exclaimed, "he is an excellent civil servant, very knowledgeable, and very capable of managing business and diplomacy, but I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
"Didn't you send him to Guishan?" Zhang Bai said tentatively.
"Don't I remember. The king said, "Could it be that his father sent him?"
What are you going to do? Zhang Baixin said, find you a wife!
Anyway, he had a father? The king's father must also be a king, right? Two kings? He asked, "Is your father still alive? Haven't you already ascended the throne and become a king?"
"My father, King Aldaban IV, has passed away, just two months ago. ”
"It's... It's really unfortunate that I would like to ask your Majesty what your imperial name is...?"
The king smiled: "You foreigners, you really don't understand the rules, I have the same name as my father, he is the fourth, and of course I am the king of Ardaban V." ”
......
At noon, after eating another meal of burritos, the fleet found a dock to dock, and Zhang Bai and Ma Ge set off with the king in their arms.
Before leaving, Zhang Bai made a layout. Let Qingchi command Zero, and let Mu Jing look at the Apostle. The Roman physician Titus was in charge of the Pasha as he was imprisoned.
Then, he ordered Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan to follow on foot with the mercenaries, while himself and Ma Ge protected Ardaban V left and right, and the group went straight to Dadhebourne's military camp.
The previous conversation with the king made Zhang Bai have a very bad premonition. Ardaban IV had died two months earlier, the day Surakiart left Peshawar.
There are some faint coincidences between the two events, and the situation is still chaotic, but the letter from Suraj is an invitation to bring him to Ctesiphon with a spaceship, which can be concluded to be a pure fake.
Zhang Bai silently cleared his thoughts, and now in this fog, there are two things that can be clearly determined: First, after leaving Peshawar, Suraj must not have seen Ardaban IV, because according to time, he is dead. Second, there is a high probability that the invitation letter was not sent by Suraj, and if this conclusion is true, someone must have sent the letter pretending to be him. Some of the confidential contents of the letter, such as the situation of the spaceship, Zhang Bai's original plan to raid the Sassanid capital, etc., must have been fully grasped by this person.
So who is this man? The best case scenario is the dead Al Hilal, and if that is the case, all the secrets are largely not leaked. In other cases, it was the worst-case scenario, such as the Ziracs, Hetris, Parthian nobles, and even worse, the emissaries of the Blood Cult. It seems that there is a chance that Pasha will have to be interrogated again to learn more about the situation.
What was even more surprising was that he thought that King Aldaban IV was a young man, so he would go all the way to marry Princess Kushan. After doing it for a long time, it was the father who helped his son find a daughter-in-law, and it was his son V who asked to marry the princess.
The fifth is indeed a young man, just sixteen years old this year, to be honest, Zhang Bai has a big eye this time, but he really didn't see it. The beard of the fifth king, coupled with the unsmiling appearance all day long, Zhang Bai always thought that he was at least thirty years old, but he was only three years old from himself.
But come to think of it, no wonder it's so easy to deceive!
The group walked across the plain between the river and the military camp, and Zhang Bai took advantage of the king's swagger to walk in front and secretly released the pigs. He put Piggy on his shoulder and watched from afar.
"Squeak!" Piggy quickly gave a warning, his front paws pointing in the direction of ten o'clock.
A group of heavily armed heavy cavalry was rapidly approaching.
