Dugu Lanruo's eyes were full of doubts.

Liu Mu was still talking to himself:

"Then, we went around here and headed all the way north to stay in the Ivory Coast for a while. Elephant hunting is cruel, but there are plenty of high-quality fruits here, so it's okay to taste them. If you're lucky, find an elephant cemetery and pick up some tusks, this is fine, God won't strike me with thunder. ”

Willow's finger continued north, then through the Strait of Gibraltar: "Here there is a small overseas territory of the Visigothic kingdom, which the Roman emperor called one of the three barbarians. ”

"I'm going to buy it. Hahaha. Liu Mu smiled proudly: "I know, in the past ten or twenty years, they have changed countless kings, although the longest one is said to have been a king for ten years, but it is not the only king, and the rest will be changed in one or two years, I think a box of pearls is enough." ”

Dugu Lanruo's face completely cooled.

Dugu Lan allowed Liu Mu to have a little secret, but she didn't allow such a shocking big secret to share it with her.

What Liu Mu mastered, even the barbarian kingdom tens of thousands of miles away knew when the king would change, and how many such things were changed.

These are not open secrets, Persian merchants, Arab merchants, Roman merchants. These people have provided Datang with countless intelligence about the Mediterranean, from military to human, almost everything.

But what Liu Mu said, Datang did not collect.

"Husband......." As soon as Dugu Lanruo opened her mouth, she heard a different taste, and it was obvious that Dugu Lanruo was very unhappy. Liu Mu immediately leaned against Dugu Lanruo's side: "Madame has anything special to want, I'll find it for Madame." ”

"Nothing." Dugu Lanruo changed her mind when she spoke, and she didn't plan to ask for some details. only said: "This big family is on the ship, so naturally safety comes first." ”

"Yes." Liu Mu felt that Dugu Lan would change her words until the words came to her lips.

If Dugu Lan wanted to ask something, Liu Mu would not have thought of it, and she didn't plan to ask any further.

After a short stop and replenishment in Colombo, the fleet embarked on an ultra-long voyage to the sea.

There are hardly any islands to be seen along the way, and there are no seabirds.

But there have been giant whales, sharks, and super-large schools of fish.

Yanagi's fleet did not reload the cargo ships, and it took about 11 days to complete the long-distance voyage of 5,890 miles with an average speed of about 25 kilometers per hour.

There were several small deviations from the route, a rainstorm, and a crew overboard.

Socotra.

"Setting up a Nether Monument ......"

Before the people got off the boat, Dugu Lanruo ordered loudly.

Liu Mu was stunned, and the territory was not occupied like this, and the distance of tens of thousands of miles was just passing by here to directly set up a boundary monument, so in the future, should troops be sent to guard it, or not to send troops.

"Order!"

Before Liu Mu came back to his senses, Gao Hu, who was guarding the captain, roared, and then led people off the ship to find the stones, preparing for the stonemasons to carve the monument.

"I said, madam, this place is far, far away from us." Liu Mu persuaded on the side.

"Didn't you say that if Rome repairs the ancient canal called Suyi, our ship can go straight to Shanghai, then this island at the mouth of the sea can be used as a temporary repair place for the people of the Tang Dynasty, or there is a more suitable place."

Liu Mu held his chin and thought as he said: "The ancient Suez Canal began to be dug 1,400 years ago, with many interruptions and several desertions. The last time it was really effective was during the Han Dynasty, and now this river needs to be cleaned up. ”

Liu Mu is still a little unfinished, the second time in history the ancient canal was opened in 640 AD, that is, a few years later.

In fact, the Romans were already renovating the Suez Canal.

Unlike modern times, the ancient Suez Canal was only dug for about 100 kilometers to connect the Red Sea with the Nile, with a few more turns to bypass the waterfall.

Liu Mu didn't know how big a ship the ancient canal could support, and the 10,000-ton giant ship definitely didn't need to think about it. So is it possible for fifteen hundred battleships to pass.

"Well, there's a place worth occupying." Liu Mu drew a picture, which is the mouth of the Red Sea, which was later called Djibouti.

Liu Mu remembers that it was two hundred years later, after the full rise of the Arab Empire, that it was actually inhabited.

What's more, it is also a good thing to occupy a piece of land on the coast and then build a fortress, which is not in a hurry, you can occupy the territory first and then spend ten or twenty years to build a fortress.

The escort fleet divided six to check the location given by Liu Mu, and Dugu Lanruo took Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er to the island to watch the strange scene that Liu Mu said, the strange tree.

There are people on this island, and there are villages. This discovery not only did not dispel Dugulan's desire to occupy this island, but also strengthened his firmness.

Among the entourage were people who were proficient in ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian.

These people were all Tang people and students of Oscar Badi.

A piece of silk, very ordinary silk. This kind of clothes made of silk are not to mention Dugu Lanruo, even Xiao Ling'er's maids can't wear them, they are too ordinary, so ordinary that they damage Liu Mu's face.

A piece of silk was given to the village chief as a gift.

The village chief took out a one-foot-square turban and compared it, shouted for the elders' house robes and clothes, and then piled countless things in the open space outside the village.

If Dugu Lan is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, even if she has cultivated in the Taoist Temple, she has also seen treasures.

I saw that the items piled up in the open space outside the village were all being smoked.

Xiao Ling'er's maid fainted very angrily, and the explanation to the villagers was that it was because of the heat, but the medical officer knew very well that it was overly stimulated and fainted.

"Weighing more than two stones, pure white ambergris." Xiao Ling'er came to Dugu Lanruo's side after distinguishing what the piece in front of her was, and whispered: "Such a piece is placed in Chang'an, and it is worth ...... Immeasurable, priceless. ”

Dugu Lanruo suppressed the excitement in her heart and said slowly:

"There are still a lot of pieces of ambergris, and those are frankincense. Persian merchants sold it to Chang'an at a very high price, and hundreds of incense search teams around the South China Sea found countless spices, but did not find frankincense, but did not expect to find it here, and the quantity is so huge. Send for some of the rest of the belongings. ”

Under Xiao Ling'er's personal command, everyone in this village transformed from a semi-savage to a civilized person in two days.

They had Tang's linen clothes, and Tang's bowls, plates, and combs......

There are even a few smart people who have learned to use chopsticks.

The iron pot has become another treasure on the island.
