If there is no accident, Mo Zhai knows that these orders may be the last orders he issued as a "Mo family giant".

He planned that after the affairs of Sishang were settled, he would hand over his position as a giant to the poultry at the official gathering of the Mo family.

Because if he retires from the position of the giant, there will be a shortage of one of the places of the Seven Enlightenments, and he can be filled in accordance with the order.

And because Wei Yue's previous ideas were criticized, and this time the big victory in the water, Shi's ranking may be higher, but in order to appease some factions within the Mo family, it is not good to directly make Wei Yue's identity too embarrassing.

In this way, when Yu Huali officially takes over the position of the giant, the candidate for the next giant can also be decided. The next giant must be nominated at least from the Seven Enlightenment Harms, and the appropriate identity is now one of the three alternate Seven Enlightenment Victims, which requires him, the giant at this time, to make some foreshadowing.

As he had anticipated, after these orders and invitations were issued, even though it was clear that there might be many dangers, the one hundred and fifty non-ink travelers present were still not afraid, and agreed one after another, and quickly divided into two divisions: the north and the west.

This time, the Mo family also made a bloody investment, and the part that traveled westward was all issued with copper arquebuses, which were originally intended to equip the cavalry, to shoot a round to open the impact gap before the impact, but now they were given priority.

In addition to the bronze handcuffs for each person, there were also three hundred horses, and those who were lacking could also buy some from various countries, and this time it was necessary for the monarchs of all countries to send people to participate, and the number of people and horses was expected to be more than now.

and more than 200 arquebuses, 100 iron swords, plus some iron pots used as trade and display of Zhuxia's wealth on the way.

Goods such as silk will be replenished in the rest of the country.

Led by the westward journey, it was Suo Lushen, a disciple of Bird Slippery.

This is recognized by the Mo family as the best candidate to lead the team on this westward journey.

Before Solu joined the Mo family, he was a well-known "giant cunning" in the Central Plains. In other words, before joining the Mo family, Suo Lushen was a well-known "fraudster" in the aristocratic circles of the Central Plains, and a "scum" in the eyes of the upper class.

He is also from an orthodox aristocratic background, and if it is really counted as older than the branch of King Wu of Zhou, Suo Lu is one of the seven surnames of Yin Shang. After the division of the Duke of Zhou, he migrated to the Lu State and became a huge family in the Lu State.

Before Suo Lushen joined the Mo family, he mostly cheated and seduced among nobles, and he exercised his "chivalrous" way in his own way.

He was a genius who could speak the dialects of various countries, and he could become familiar with any dialect in just a month.

He is extremely cunning, and he can succeed every time he defrauds, and the nobles who were originally deceived thought that they had earned it, and they have never missed, and no one has ever retaliated.

He is proficient in rhetoric and good at debating, but he is not as good at reasoning or drilling into the horns of the bull as he is in the 54th Debate, he is quick and resourceful, and he is decisive in the face of problems, and he is often able to turn danger into a disaster.

In addition, after learning Mojia culture with Yu Huali, he was also proficient in the classics of the Mo family, and he was born in a down-and-out aristocracy, and received an excellent education when he was young.

It belongs to the nobility that can not only wear short brown straw shoes to do righteousness, but also be able to wear swords, be proficient in etiquette, and play with silk strings with nobles.

Good at shooting, good at fencing, and fond of music, these skills are his means of fraud, and they are also the basis for him to be able to defraud in the aristocratic circle.

He has traveled to many places, from the country of Lu to the state of Qin, and many times he has been driven into a desperate situation, and has developed an instinct to escape danger.

These all make him the undisputed candidate to lead the team this time.

Before this mission, Suo Lushen was mainly doing liaison and transportation work in the Mo family's stronghold in the Central Plains city, and he was at ease.

He is very charismatic and talented, otherwise he would not have become famous all over the world for his knowledge after studying under Bird Slippery.

In addition, he belongs to the kind of person who has a reputation and knows that he is a fraudster, but many nobles still can't help but befriend him, and it is appropriate to be in charge of liaison and transportation.

Now he is only about thirty years old, in the prime of life, but he has incomparably rich experience.

From a down-and-out aristocrat to a fraudster wandering in the upper class to a man who is bent on benefiting the world, such an identity change is not possible for ordinary people, but he completed such an experience in less than thirty.

Judging from the aesthetics of this time, he is really beautiful, eight feet tall, with handsome eyebrows and a pair of radiant eyes, even if he wears the short brown of the Mo family, he still does not hide his beauty.

With a mouth and tongue, in some matters that do not involve righteousness and Dali, they often use funny and sharp language to make the debate 54 helpless.

A hand of swordsmanship, with the archery skills learned by following the birds, never miss a mistake in the world, and some robbers hiding in the wilderness of Daze can also talk, once captured by the robbers but can be called brothers and sisters with a mouth and the robbers are happily released.

Such a character, whose heart is like a cat and fox, is ambitious in all directions, like a cat of raccoon flowers, who seems to snort and sing softly and wants to grind with human ears and temples, and in a blink of an eye, he will show sharp claws and scratch blood.

But this cat-and-fox-like figure, in front of Mo Zhai and Bird Slippery, was docile like a yellow dog when the nobles were hunting, and sat on the ground honestly, with a serious expression.

Not only in front of Mo Zhai and Yu Huali, but also in front of any of the Seven Enlightenments and even the twenty-five elected committee members, he was like this, because his legendary life like Don Juan in the troubled times was nothing within the Mo family.

The disciples trained by Mozi himself, some have tried to assassinate the king, some have killed people at every turn, each has its own wonderful, and he, the "great cunning of the East", is in front of these disciples, and the excitement of his life is just at the level of being qualified to talk and laugh.

At this time, Suo Lushen obediently knelt down at the bottom of the bird's slippery, and Mozi said with a smile: "You are leading the team to the west this time, which is in line with your temperament. I want to come to your heart in all directions, and you like to travel. ”

"I have tasted that every man may have his own strengths, and that the world should be in charge; Jun his duties, the world has everything; All of them like it, and the world is prepared; There are many strengths and weaknesses, and everything in the world is in charge. So this time it's the best fit for you to lead the team. ”

Solushen bowed his head and saluted, "What the giant said is extremely true. This time I will live up to my mission. It's just that this time I look at the list of leading the team, there are people who are good at crops, good at cattle and horses, good at businessmen, and stonemasons and the like. ”

He rolled his eyes, and turned to the bird and said: "Sir, in fact, I believe what is suitable for saying, and I think most of our Mo family also believe it, this time to verify it, not only to prove that the suitable words are not false, but also to show the world, right?" ”

Yu Huali smiled and nodded, and Mozi said: "This time, it is thousands of miles away, and there is something you need to do on the way." It is appropriate to say that two thousand miles out of Qin, there are people who live in pursuit of water and grass, and there are horses like Mu Tianzi's eight horses, when the time comes, you want to find a way to get a few, and send people back first, thinking that they are hybrid. ”

"This is a big deal, you have to use your strengths."

Since Mozi said this, Suo Lushen understood, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, Giant, I will definitely not violate the righteousness of the Mo family, and I will definitely do this." ”

He said in his heart, since he said that he used my strengths, it must be by the art of tongue, or to make friends with the women and nobles of those tribes, or to instigate personal grudges between nobles to lead one party to take me as a friend and believe, as long as it does not lose the righteousness of the Mo family.

I also think that now that the Mo family is short of good horses, if he can get a few stallion mares, it will really be regarded as a meritorious achievement for the benefit of the world.

Besides, if you go here, you will carry a lot of iron pots, which are rare in the Central Plains, and they are two thousand miles away from Qin? When the time comes, the cattle and sheep will be boiled and fried, and the horses will always be exchanged.

Mozi saw that Suo Lushen was overjoyed, and he didn't say anything, he glanced at the bird slippery, nodded at the bird slippery, the fowl slippery's expression turned solemn, and he took out a piece of silk silk from his arms and handed it over: "This is a simple map of the extreme west road drawn from the two masters according to his memory, but it is rough, and he can't remember the specifics, and he doesn't know how the two masters measured the twists and turns of the coast." ”

"This thing must not be passed on, it must not be lost, and if it really encounters a crisis, it needs to be torn apart and swallowed. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Solu saw the solemnity of what Mr. and the giant said, and after saluting, he took it and said, "Respect the order of the giant." ”

He opened it and saw that it was labeled "Illustrated Chronicles of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the painting was a little simple, but Solu was still shocked when he saw it.

He naturally read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" after the tampering, but it mostly used vague words such as thousands of miles and thousands of miles, and he couldn't intuitively feel how big the world was.

But this volume of "Atlas of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", which needs to be hidden, can intuitively feel the vastness of the world.

It is simply painted from the west of Qin, there are Qiang, Yueshi, Wusun, and then to the west, the city-states are marked, and after that, there is a big lake like the moon and the name of the sea, where the Cypriot tribes and the Steki tribes are marked.

Continuing to the west, there is a huge lake, as if it is as big as Qi Yue in the east, and the Caspian Sea is marked on it.

To the north are the Sarmatians and Scythians, to the south is the Persian kingdom, and then to the southwest is the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, which seems to have been occupied by the Persian extermination on the map, and to the northwest are the Greek kingdoms mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

To the south of Qiang and the city-states is Kunlun, separated by snow-capped mountains. Further south, there are countries called Magadha, Cusaro, etc.

If this picture is true, even if it is simple and crude, it is shocking enough. From Beihai to Cangwu, it is getting smaller and smaller on this map, not to mention the land of Sishang that the Mo family occupies now.

After the thousands of miles of the original text were turned into intuitive diagrams, Suo Lushen's sweat trickled down, and he sighed: "The two suitable masters are really heavenly beings, otherwise how can they walk tens of thousands of miles and draw such a map?" Although it is simple, how can it be drawn without a journey of 100,000 miles? ”

"Sir, giant...... Do you think this picture is true or false? Could it be that Persia is bigger than the Jin, Qin, and Qi kingdoms combined? This ......"

Mozi shook his head and said, "I don't know." That's why I want you to check it out. It's just that if you travel far, you still have to look at this picture and try. If it is true, I am afraid that the world will tremble. ”

"This trip all the way to the west, the vast grassland desert, it is difficult to distinguish between north and south, east and west. The magnet Si Nan taught before, and the art of pulling the stars to find the north, you will also know. In short, if this picture is true, it may be difficult, but the more true it is, the more you have to look at those vast places. ”

Solushen bowed again: "That's exactly how it should be. After three years of this trip, I will definitely die as an ink artist. It's just that this picture is too shocking, if it is true, I am afraid that the world will be shocked. ”

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "That's exactly the case, the more you have to investigate and verify it." I'll do my best. ”

After that, the silk map was carefully put away, and Mozi sent a few notebooks wrapped in cowhide and said: "What you see and hear along the way, you have to write it down." You are a good talker, and it would be best if you could learn to speak all the way. ”

"In a few days, you will set out with the envoys who are going to various countries, this journey is extremely dangerous, and you cannot ...... life or death."

Suo Lushen took the paper with the cowhide and laughed: "The giant is serious, as an ink man, how can the order of the giant not be respected?" Moreover, the world is so big, I should be happy, life for decades, should travel 100,000 miles, for life is happy. Now that you have entered the Mo family, how can you worry about life and death? ”

"The giant has no worries, and I will be famous all the way. In the past, I was a great cunning in the East, and everyone in the world is the same, is it possible that I will be deceived in the West? ”

He laughed and took it, and then retreated after saluting, and his heart was full of pride, thinking that the journey of tens of thousands of miles had never been walked before, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, thinking that this was a man's pride. Fighting with a sword and a gun for 100,000 miles, I don't look for the seal of the prince and uncle, just to see how big the world is.
