"Your Excellency Ahurama, someone outside the house is asking to see you!" a guard reported from outside.

"Who wants to see me?" asked Zhang Bai.

"This ......!" the guard hesitated.

Zhang Bai was a little strange, and at this time Mu Jing also woke up, her hair was a little scattered, and her worried face was reflected in the sunlight outside the window, bright and pure. Looking at her, there seemed to be a stone in Zhang Bai's heart that fell to the ground.

He got up and left the bed, and when he saw that he was not dressed properly, he said to Mu Jing: "Look at our appearance, it is quite inconvenient to be seen by visitors, or you should avoid it for the time being." ”

Mu Jing nodded, rubbed his eyes, and hid his figure. Zhang Bai hurriedly sorted out his clothes, put on his teaching robes, and then asked the guards to invite guests in.

The visitor was a young man, somewhat familiar but not very recognizable. With a young face, a smooth jaw, a cleanly shaved beard, a pair of blue eyes like water, and a strong and well-proportioned body, the whole person looks luxurious and calm. He was dressed like an ordinary local merchant, wrapped in a thick futon-like turban, and looked like a vendor in a Seleucian market.

However, the peddlers could not enter the palace.

Zhang Bai couldn't remember who this was, so he had to ask: "May I ask this guest, who are you?

The visitor was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Zhang Bai blankly, and actually laughed out loud after a while.

This confused Zhang Bai, and he couldn't help but be slightly angry, so he asked again: "Since you can enter and leave the palace, if you are not a nobleman, you have something important to discuss." We are meeting for the first time and we would like you to inform us of your name as is customary. ”

The man laughed again, and replied aloud, "It seems that I am dressed so well that you don't even recognize me." I'm sorry to take the liberty of visiting, I have to try if my new outfit is successful. ”

This voice is all too familiar, is it...... King Aldaban V?

"You're Bibi...... Your Majesty?" Zhang Bai felt that his brain could not turn around, the king was wearing a merchant's clothes, and he had a shaved beard, and he changed his face, what was this for?

"It's me, you asked me to accept the marriage, but I don't know the other party's situation, so I'm going to investigate it myself before making a decision. The king replied calmly.

Zhang Bai understands that this is to serve a private visit, and prepare to practice true knowledge. actually married his future wife, who really deserves to be the king of Parthia, and this can be done.

But the old problem arises, if the king really leaves the capital, then the situation in Parthia, which has just stabilized, is likely to have problems again.

"Your Majesty, your trip is not proper! The situation in Ctesiphon has been decided, what you should do is to make great efforts to govern the country, recuperate from the people's livelihood, and at the same time train soldiers to master the power of the army. It is not wise to leave Beijing at this time. ”

Ardaban didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he replied, "I understand what you said, but it doesn't reassure me. Do you do nothing to recuperate and recuperate? Train soldiers, you can easily say, as soon as I train soldiers, the nobles will definitely question my intentions, and then recommend their own soldiers to the ranks I train. Shall I help them train their soldiers?"

Zhang Bai was said to be stunned, he did underestimate Aldaban V a little.

He is not an emperor who can be a puppet with peace of mind, judging from the contact of these days, Ardaban is a thoughtful, daring, and unflinching in the face of crises, especially the unchangeable poker face for thousands of years, which makes it impossible to detect his thoughts.

In short, there are actually no other shortcomings except for the slow response of Mu Ne.

"I want the princess of Guishan to be a sensible woman who is loyal to me. "If, in such a difficult and dangerous situation, I am allowed to marry a power-hungry and cunning wife, I will never recover. ”

The king's concerns were indeed true, Zhang Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, and found that the truth was better than he had hoped.

Because the king was willing to marry anyway, he raised his head and replied happily, "You mean, first of all, on the premise that the harem is peaceful." Indeed, you wish to further consolidate the stability of your country and your throne through marriage and alliance and with the help of Kushan's military might. ”

"You are quite right, the premise must be the tranquility of the harem, and the second must be the army. The king made a point of confirming it.

Zhang Bai still hesitated, the king's plan seemed to be a bit of a joke, but it was undeniably reasonable. Moreover, Zhang Bai understands the appearance and character of Princess Tolan of Guishan, so he feels that although this matter is a bit of a problem, he has a great grasp of success.

"Just promise him!" Mu Jing's voice came from the transmission: "I can stay in Parthia and help him manage the country temporarily, as long as I find a substitute, I can fool the past, I will figure out a way to do this." ”

"Parthia is very unstable right now, and the approach you are talking about is risky. Zhang Bai retorted in the transmission: "I don't think it's necessary to take this risk. Actually, you just want the king and the princess to be together? I mean, like in a storybook, the princess and the king are together and live happily ever after, right?"

"Yes!" Mu Jing replied crisply.

It's just the nature of a little woman, Zhang Bai is a little helpless, if Mu Jing insists so much, he can't bear to brush it off.

He had no choice but to suggest to the king, "Shall we consult a few men in advance and let them remain in Ctesiphon, or else your throne will be in jeopardy." I can't let what we did happen in vain, so I propose that we move somewhere else, like the Apostle, and gather all the people we have brought, and we vote. ”

"You always have a new trick, what do you mean by voting?" asked the king, "I think it's funny!"

......

At noon, after having dinner with the king, the two hurried out of the palace in a carriage.

The Apostle was still anchored in the middle of the Tigris River, and Marco's troops, as well as Solomon's soldiers, who had been asked by Zhang Bai, were guarding the Apostle on the north and south sides of the river.

Before leaving the palace, Zhang Bai had already transmitted the message to all the members who could be notified, and those who could not receive the transmission were quickly notified. Now in the Apostle cabin, the important members of the Pirate Air Regiment are gathered.

The number of members of the group has unconsciously expanded several times, and the routes are different. In addition to Zhang Bai and the king, there were Mu Jing and Ma Ge who joined from the Yingshan Daiyue Temple, Jin Chi who was taken in in the Sunshine Valley, Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan, and Huang Xian, three generals from Shu Han, Pasha, Ziracs, and Hetri who defected from Zoroastrianism, Dao Lao who defected to the Blood Evil Sect, and finally there was a Roman philosopher and surgeon Titus.

In total, there were thirteen important members, most of whom were immortal cultivators, and only Aldaban, Huang Xian, and Titus were ordinary people.

It happened that the Twelve Apostles and Jesus added, "How did it make it look like the Last Supper?" Zhang Bai said to himself secretly, feeling a little unlucky! But we still have two members of Lingling and Nanhua who were not present, there are fifteen people in total, not counting the Last Supper.

He looked around at the crowd and said aloud, "You have seen His Majesty's new clothes, and His Majesty's wish is to disguise himself as a commoner and go with us to Peshawar." But in this way, the capital was empty, so someone had to stay behind to help the king temporarily disguise his deeds and govern the country on his behalf. ”

Zhang Bai announced in public and asked: "Let's discuss it together today, and if we encounter an issue that is difficult to decide, we will vote according to the old rules." ”
