Standing in front of the wooden door of the woodshed, Gu Fei suddenly felt that his surroundings were getting dark, and day turned into night in an instant.

The wooden door in front of him suddenly disappeared, and what he saw was a vast plain and river. The river was very wide, several times wider than the Indus River.

The river flows calmly into the distance, where it seems to be the sea.Under the dim moonlight, following the direction of the river flow, on the right bank is a large piece of strange boulders, square and square, each piece is similar in appearance and arranged neatly.

Gu Fei didn't know where he was, and he couldn't remember why he was here.He accidentally glanced at his feet, and his legs were so frightened that he was actually floating in the air, with nothing under his feet.

"Ah!" He shouted on the spot. With this shout, his whole body instantly lost his balance and fell down.

......

The door of the woodshed was easily opened by Zhang Bai with his right hand, and he pulled in the janitor child and Gu Fei.

At this time, the child was so frightened that he didn't dare to do anything except whine and make a sound similar to begging for mercy.Because when he saw Gu Fei's appearance, he felt a fear he had never seen before.

At this time, Gu Fei's eyes were staring forward in horror, and he tried his best to open his eyes wide without black eyeballs, only the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.

His limbs were clawing and flailing here and there, looking like he was about to drown after falling into the water. Unable to maintain his balance, he was lying on the ground twisting.His mouth was opened wide, as if he was shouting wildly, but no words came out.

Gu Fei was like a devil struggling in hell, rolling silently on the ground. The janitor boy was afraid of being caught by him, and huddled into the corner regardless of the vines entangled around him. He was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Zhang Bai ignored Gu Fei, walked straight to the child, and asked pleasantly: "Don't be afraid, I am a Zoroastrian, he did bad things, so I punished him with divine power, this has nothing to do with you. So as long as you don't How about yelling and I can let you go right away?”

The child immediately nodded desperately and burst into tears on the spot.Zhang Bai's right hand that tightly held the child relaxed, and the leaves and other things stuffed in his mouth quickly disappeared.Soon the child regained his freedom and spit out the remaining leaves from his mouth.

"What's your name? How did you join the Sejia family?" Zhang Bai asked.

"My name is Buji. I was born a slave and was bought by the masters."

"What about your parents?"

Boogie shrugged, "I don't know them."

It turned out to be a poor little slave. Zhang Bai couldn't bear it, so he said, "I don't want to embarrass you. If you tell me about Gu Fei, I will let you go. I will also give you silver coins, okay?"

Buji nodded and said: "Butler Gu Fei is the personal guard in the outer courtyard of Sejia Mansion. There are many such guards here, and they are all fierce. This Gu Fei is often not in the house. As soon as he comes back, something will happen... I know it. These."

"So who is Gu Fei's boss? In other words, who sent him out, or who will he see first when he comes back?"

"Who are you meeting? Of course I am meeting the gentlemen. The person who has met Gu Fei the most should be Mr. Minar, the eldest son of Mr. Lakhsega. They all believe in Zoroastrianism, and several Sasanians have come recently. The master orders the waiters who serve tea and snacks every day."

Sassanid?Zhang Bai was shocked when he heard this. The Sasanians began to move again. Did they come here because they thought Parthia was difficult to deal with and were preparing to intervene in the Kushan Empire?

"Do you know the names of those Sasanian leaders?" Zhang Bai asked.

"I don't know, I just heard people call him Big Flamatar."

Who is the Great Flamatar?There is a word "大" in it, which doesn't seem to be a person's name.Zhang Bai asked a few more questions, but the child seemed to know nothing.

He comforted Buji for a few words and then turned to deal with Gu Fei.

"Gu Fei, I'm Minar, what are you doing?" Zhang Bai approached Gu Fei, whose eyes were white, and asked softly into his ear.

"Is it Mr. Minar? I have already caught the counterfeit." Guffey was suddenly able to speak, and he no longer struggled desperately to scratch around. He rolled his eyes with terrifying white eyes and hurriedly reported to his master. He said: "What is that counterfeit hiding in the beggar's den, secretly discussing with this old guy Sawtel? You should send out the guards quickly and catch him."

"Where is the Great Flamatar?" Zhang Bai asked softly again.

Gu Fei was startled. He seemed to feel something and began to struggle again.However, in his consciousness, the horror of falling into the clouds again made him forget to resist, confused his thinking again, and replied: "He is in the outer house arranged by the Sega tribe."

"What does Big Flamatar do? What is his name?"

"The Great Vlamatar was the Grand Steward of all Sassanid. I don't know his name."

Grand Steward of the entire Sasanian state?So wouldn’t it mean that he is not the prime minister?For one country to visit the capital of another country, this is almost the highest level of diplomacy besides mutual visits between kings.

Zhang Bai became confused again, what happened in Peshawar?The Roman emperor and the Sassanid prime minister gathered together. If he had not sent Artabanus V away in advance, the top officials of all the big countries in Central Asia to the Indus Valley would have clocked in.

Thinking that as Ahurama, the leader of Zoroastrianism, he also represents the emerging power of Parthia.

In addition, the largest wealthy family in the Kushan Empire, Sejia, as well as the forces of the Eastern Prince's Palace such as the royal family and Taoist Shilong, cannot forget that the Blood Underworld Sect is still looming.

Peshawar doesn't look like a capital city at all. It's like a pot of porridge. Historically, after the demise of Parthia, Kushan, a powerful country of a generation, was also destroyed. It seems not unreasonable. It encountered too many and too powerful foreign enemies.

Zhang Bai continued to torture for a while, and Gu Fei's situation was basically clear.He had nothing to do with the Romans. He was actually a Sasanian spy who had been ambushing Kushan for a long time.He himself is just a small fish among them. Behind him is the entire Serga family that has taken refuge in Sassanid. This is the real big fish.

Interestingly, the reason why the Serga family took refuge in Sassanid was because Ardashir was the original leader of Zoroastrianism.

However, after his death, Zoroastrianism actually split into two parts. A part of Zoroastrianism represented by the Parthians recognized Zhang Bai as the successor of the religious robe; Zoroastrianism, mainly Sasanian nationals, were unwilling to accept it. If they failed, of course they were not willing to let a foreigner of unknown origin succeed to the position of leader, so in the Sassanid country, they promoted that the successor was the current king of Sassanid Shapur.

As a result, the internal struggle within Zoroastrianism became life-and-death.

Zhang Bai had a headache. His original plan was to balance the three kingdoms of Parthia, Sassanid and Kushan. By marrying two weaker country alliances, similar to the Sun-Liu alliance to fight against Cao Wei, he could deter Sassanid and maintain peace.

But he never expected that first Rome would intervene, and then the Zoroastrian Church would seize the throne, reaching such an irreconcilable point.

The entire strategy is no longer implementable and must be adjusted immediately without delay.
