The eighth century is supposed to belong to the era of Baghdad!

At that time, Baghdad was the didu of the Arab kingdom, and it was also the most prosperous city in the world, under the influence of Rome and Greece, Baghdad at that time could be said to be the center of world trade, and the great King Lacido laid the foundation for the prosperity of Baghdad, until the middle of the eighth century, the emperor Caliph Harun ruled the Arab Empire, expanded the city of Baghdad, and built mosques, schools, libraries, observatories, post houses, and markets, making Baghdad at that time reach the peak of the world both economically and culturally. Even Chinese merchants from thousands of miles away came here to trade with silk, porcelain and tea!

The bearded captain is very proud of mentioning Baghdad, that attitude is understandable, just like Yan Xiaoyi will be complacent if he mentions the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but the prosperity of Baghdad is really not in the eyes of Yan Xiaoyi and the three of them, although it is very lively, but it is also the extent of the market, of course, it is not that Baghdad is not good, but the times are different, Yan Xiaoyi and the three of them have all seen the prosperous metropolis of the later generations, Yan Xiaoyi has been to Shanghai several times before, and stood on the overpass to look at the subway station, The only thought is how there are more people coming in and out than men use to pass on their ancestry!

Of course, although they don't care in their hearts, the three of them won't show it, otherwise wouldn't they cause trouble for themselves?

Bidding farewell to the bearded captain, the three of them entered Baghdad from the port!

The market is very lively, most of them are selling some local handmade products, the most popular is silk from the ancient countries of the East, and some items exported from Rome and Greece, it is particularly surprising that there are still watermelons for sale, don't think it is strange, watermelons were discovered in the fourth and fifth centuries, and they are far from popular in this period, so it can be said that they are luxury fruits, which shows that Baghdad was indeed very prosperous at this time.

Benjamin said: "We can go and exchange the gems for some points, and besides, since the points have been obtained, can the sandalwood boat be sold?" After all, it's hard to move without money, and I think we should get a set of clothes as soon as possible. ”

Benjamin's proposal was agreed, and those gems were taken by Benjamin to the market to find other players to exchange for points items, Yan Xiaoyi was to sell against the sandalwood boat, and Yuxiang Ruizi was to find a place to live, of course, you have to find a clothing store, if it weren't for the fact that there are a large number of foreign merchants in Baghdad, and there are many strange people, they would have to be sent to the gallows as infidels.

Yan Xiaoyi said: "We can actually act separately and gather at the clothing point when the time comes." ”

Benjamin and Yuxiang Ruizi didn't have any opinions, and the three of them went their separate ways after making up their minds.

Yan Xiaoyi took the sandalwood boat directly to the zilu trade market, most of the import and export trade here, merchants from other countries, and there are no stalls here, just find an open space to shout, of course, if the transaction is successful, the necessary taxes still need to be paid, Yan Xiaoyi is afraid of trouble, and he is lazy to shout like others, so he directly threw the sandalwood boat to the ground, and set up a sign that reads: Sandalwood!

Sandalwood has always been very popular and rare, of course, later generations have been cut down and naturally more expensive, there are many in this era, but the price is not low, the reason is that the minerals of this era are also very rich, the main currency of Baghdad at that time was gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and then engraved with Arabic on it, if it is put in the 21st century, gold coins are directly collectibles, how can they be used for trading, so, because of the rich relationship of minerals, the value of gold coins in this era is also low.

Yan Xiaoyi's sandalwood boat was popular, and it was soon full of people, but this kind of thing that cost 1,800 gold coins was still very expensive, and finally the three businessmen partnered to buy the sandalwood boat from Yan Xiaoyi's hands for 11 gold coins, as for how to disassemble the boat and divide it, it was none of Yan Xiaoyi's business, anyway, he had the money to take it.

After getting the sandalwood boat, Yan Xiaoyi went to find Yuxiang Ruizi and bought three sets of Arab costumes in the clothing store, a wide robe, a white turban, and Yan Xiaoyi also deliberately bought a dagger inlaid with gems and inserted it around his waist for decoration.

At this time, Benjamin also stumbled into the clothing store, and Yan Xiaoyi hurriedly beckoned: "Come and try on clothes." ”

Benjamin gasped and said, "What clothes to try, hurry up and follow me, I'm recruiting the crew to chase the slave ship!" ”

Yan Xiaoyi and Yuxiang Ruizi looked confused, Benjamin had to grab his clothes, put them on his body, and pulled the two of them out and said, "Do you know that One Thousand and One Nights is composed of many stories?" ”

"Nonsense!" Yan Xiaoyi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't treat common sense as a brain teaser, okay!" ”

Benjamin said: "Then did you know that there are real stories and real people in One Thousand and One Nights?" ”

"Huh!" Yan Xiaoyi said: "I really don't know this!" ”

Yuxiang Ruizi said: "According to historical records, Ali Baba and the forty thieves should be a true story, whether there is Ali Baba is not known, but during the reign of King Lacido, there is indeed a group of robbers who claim to be forty thieves, they are ferocious, murderous, often around Baghdad, and finally King Lacido personally led the army to set up an ambush to encircle and suppress the forty thieves!" ”

Benjamin nodded and said: "That's it, I met a player in the market, he got a clue, or rather, he is likely to have received a plot mission, King Lacido ambushed the forty thieves last night, but, the leader of the forty thieves, Harisan, escaped with some remnants, the player heard the news, Harisan escaped on a slave ship, he naturally wanted to chase, but to recruit five crew members!" ”

Yan Xiaoyi said: "Why are there five ......?"

As soon as Yan Xiaoyi asked, he understood, because he happened to open the album easily!

In the collection, the treasure of the forty thieves ranks third in the collection, up to 3 points, but there is a limit to the number of places, only the top five can get points if they find the treasure, of course, follow this clue, find the treasure of the forty thieves is a large amount of points, and there is a chance to meet Alibaba, if you can get the story task, there are additional points.

Benjamin said: "The other party requires excellent strength and can get a ship, of course, the latter point is the point, because he can't afford to buy a ship to chase forty thieves." ”

Yan Xiaoyi said: "I understand, it means that he uses "technology" to enter the cadre shares, and everything else is ours." ”

Benjamin said, "You're not satisfied? ”

Yan Xiaoyi thought for a while and said: "I'm not very satisfied, I feel like we're just coolies, but I have to say that this temptation is hard to refuse, after all, with those three hundred points, the hope of winning the event is very great!" ”

Since Yan Xiaoyi can't refuse the temptation, there is naturally nothing to say, even if he is dissatisfied, he has to participate in it!

A moment later, Yan Xiaoyi met the player in the market.

"I'm Mebson!" Mebson's attitude was very arrogant, pointing at Yan Xiaoyi and saying, "If you can find me a ship to go to sea, I will take you to find the treasure of the forty thieves!" ”

Yan Xiaoyi has the urge to slash this idiot with a sword, although he knows the whereabouts of the forty thieves, but in fact, if he doesn't have a boat, he will never find the forty thieves, and Yan Xiaoyi has a lot of gold coins in his hand, he can charter a boat, and even buy a boat directly, and he can only sail with Yan Xiaoyi, so the two sides should cooperate with each other equally, but this guy has an attitude of charity, which makes Yan Xiaoyi immediately want to use his head to cut off his head.

"Patience, patience......" Benjamin hurriedly pulled Yan Xiaoyi aside and said: "Normal people can't deal with stupid people, so, don't pay attention to that stupid person, at least he knows the whereabouts of the forty thieves, if you are angry, you take a deep breath, wow, how beautiful this world is." ”

Yan Xiaoyi took a deep breath and suppressed the unpleasant feeling, and Mebson urged over there: "Hey, if you can't go, hurry up, don't delay time, I don't know that time is money!" ”

Yan Xiaoyi suddenly became angry again.

Benjamin was speechless, and said helplessly: "We can find the treasure of the forty thieves first, and after we find the treasure, I don't mind if you beat him up, if you can, I also want to kick his feet, but for now, I still have to be patient, and I ...... patient."

"I'm here for everyone's benefit!" Yan Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, the guy I will definitely beat doesn't even know his mother!" ”

Benjamin could only smile helplessly.

And after Yan Xiaoyi was willing to pay, things became much simpler, although Maebson had no money, he was also a rainy day, he had already found the ship, and there were some crew members.

When the four of them arrived at the port, Mebson pointed to a middle-aged man with a beard and a hat almost pressed to his eyes, and said, "This is Captain Qasim, the same one he found out that the remnants of the Forty Thieves had infiltrated the slave ship and fled Baghdad, and the others were his crew, and he could take us on a voyage, but first we had to buy a ship." ”

Yuxiang Ruizi pulled Yan Xiaoyi and whispered, "Why are these people so fierce? ”

Yan Xiaoyi whispered: "They are all seafarers, and they can't circle and fork at sea, they can only hold it after sailing for a long time, and they have endocrine disorders after holding it for a long time, can they not be fierce?" ”

Benjamin rolled his eyes on the side, and also suppressed his voice: "When, can you say something reliable?" ”

"No problem!" Yan Xiaoyi took out the money bag and said, "I have money, but I don't know where to buy a boat." ”

Kassim immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I know there is a ship for sale, please come with me." ”

Teach Casim and Benjamin about buying a boat, don't say it, NP's efficiency is high, and a boat was prepared in less than half an hour, of course, the boat was a little broken, but then again, if it was really a good boat, Yan Xiaoyi's little money was probably not enough!

Board the ship, set sail, set sail......

Yan Xiaoyi is a mess, but Kassim is very sophisticated, and he takes care of everything.

However, Yan Xiaoyi still thought of a question and said, "Where should we chase?" ”

"Basra!" "That's the city of the harbor," said Qasim, "and all slaves will be transported there, no one!" ”

Of course, when it comes to how to find someone in Basra, then this Mr. captain doesn't care.

And the time of the voyage from Baghdad to Basra, the system gives 3 hours, which is not very long, but it happens to be in the evening.

"Actually, you can go and sleep for a while, so that you can refresh your spirits!" ”

This proposal can be regarded as being recognized by everyone, after all, they really can't help much on the deck, but no one noticed that when Yan Xiaoyi and the others turned around and entered the cabin, Kassim's small eyes hidden under the bib suddenly revealed a fierce light!
