The Chenla Empire was located in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, relatively close to Nanzhao.

This country is very small, and its strength is quite weak, so it is naturally very willing to accept Datang as its suzerain state.

As long as they have the protection of the Tang Dynasty, they don't have to worry about their country being invaded by other empires.

"Sinbad, to be honest, I still have some connections here. If you need help, just ask."

Although he didn't know what the purpose of these guys was here, Mu Jiuge was still very interested in the goods they brought, which could be said to be their specialty.

"Haha, Mr. Mu is overly worried. Our caravan is coming with the official mission this time, but our journey is slower."

Naturally, it is impossible for him to reveal important things to the other party, but he can still talk about such things that everyone knows.

Of course, he had his reasons for saying this. Although they were discussing as friends, Sinbad still felt the need to remind the other party.

Don't be tempted by them. Their caravan is not just a merchant, but is protected by an official mission. Once something happens in the Tang Dynasty, the consequences can be imagined.

"Official mission?"

Mu Jiuge was very surprised. It seemed that this guy was not as simple as he thought.

Those who can accompany the envoys on missions must at least be powerful in the local area. Otherwise, they would not have such qualifications at all.

But what troubles Mu Jiuge now is that even in later generations, the Zhenla Empire has not done anything extraordinary.

After all, this country is different from the Ocean Empire in that it has not actively launched a war and has always remained safely within its own territory from beginning to end.

Even if dynasties change in the future, their original intention remains unchanged. They take the initiative to become a vassal state of a powerful empire and retain the inheritance of their own country.

Now this guy is always thinking about himself, which makes Mu Jiuge somewhat change his original intention and doesn't want to trick him to death.

"Yes, our Chenla Empire came here mainly to pay tribute, and I came here to do business. After the official mission is settled, we can consider business issues."

Being able to follow the official envoy here is definitely an honor for him, and there is no need to hide anything.

"I see. I wonder if your envoy was successful in meeting the Holy Spirit?"

Mu Jiuge showed a look of surprise and asked again casually.

"Probably not. We are not very far away from the official envoys. Secondly, after this long journey, even if the envoys arrive here, they will find an official post to rest for a while before going to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"

Sinbad answered very firmly, as if he was very confident about such a matter.

"I wonder if the king of your country is Bafa Varman?"

The discussion on this topic ends here.

But he had not yet achieved what he wanted. After recalling the records in the history books in his mind, he asked uncertainly.

After all, the last time someone from the Ocean Empire came, he also used this trick.

If the mountains are not high, there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons.

Mu Jiuge's words were spoken in an understatement, but in Sinbad's ears, it was undoubtedly like a thunder, which shocked him.

It is hard to imagine that an ordinary citizen or merchant in Chang'an City, who is extremely far away from his own country, can say the name of his king. It is really hard for him to believe that this is true.

In particular, the Chenla Empire was a small country with a small land and sparse people. It was not favored by surrounding countries at all. It can even be said that their popularity was very low.

No one would take the initiative to pay attention to their country. After all, the geographical location is extremely remote and there are no hot treasures.

To put it bluntly, this time official envoys took the initiative to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. It is still unclear whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew about their small country.

"Mr. Mu, I would like to ask, how do you know the name of our king?"

Sinbad swallowed his saliva with difficulty. If the people of the entire Tang Dynasty knew the name of their king, they would not believe it even if they beat him to death.

"You should know that when the business reaches a certain scale, the people below will help you do the work you need to do."

"At this time, I am free and have more time to think about business matters or observe the market."

"It just so happens that I am very interested in the culture of your Chenla Empire. I have paid attention to it before. If there is an opportunity, I may expand my business there in the future."

"As for the name Bafa Varman, when I first learned about your country's culture, he was already the king, so I asked this question."

Such rhetoric has been planned in my mind for a long time. Of course, telling lies without blinking an eye is commonplace.

"Mr. Mu, it turns out that you are really a friend of our Zhenla Empire."

After hearing this story, the smile on Sinbad's cheeks became brighter and brighter, and he quickly stood up and saluted Mu Jiuge again.

He took the initiative to approach me before, which may have made me have some concerns.

But now, he has understood that he was overly worried about everything.

Since Mr. Mu is willing to understand the culture of his country, it is his greatest kindness to them.

An empire that is dozens of times more powerful than its own country would actually take the initiative to understand a small and weak country. This character is very admirable.

"Mr. Mu, if you really plan to expand your business to the Chenla Empire, then you must inform me Sinbad in advance and let me show my friendship as a landlord. Don't worry, the door of the Chenla Empire will always be open to you.

.”

Sinbad was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and the last trace of worry in his heart completely disappeared at this moment.

"Haha, don't worry, no matter how much time passes, my friendship with you, Sinbad, will never change."

You know that after the other person hears your words, he will definitely become this kind of virtuous person and completely let down his guard.

"Mr. Mu, I really hope that you can come to our Zhenla Empire as a guest. I can even introduce you to our king. I believe that our king will be happy to meet you."

Regarding Mu Jiuge's words, Sinbad nodded heavily. He was worthy of being his friend. The words he said really warmed his heart.

"Chief, there is news from outside that our carriage has been repaired and can leave at any time."

At this moment, the vendor who had been guarding the goods outside ran in to report.

Apparently no one came out to replace him for so long, which made him very dissatisfied, and he secretly glanced at the table from time to time.

"Master Mu and I hit it off as old friends and had a great conversation. We will take a rest here after the shift. I will inform you when we set off."

Such lack of understanding of the rules made Sinbad very dissatisfied, and he directly reprimanded him.

"Yes, yes, I will inform them right now."
