Li Su was stunned at the time, looked at the few people who came in together, and found that the other party was really a little special, the one led by them was not bad, he looked like he was more than forty years old, he was very tall, although his appearance was ordinary, but he was also white and clean, wearing a cyan robe, with a short beard under his chin, he looked like a middle-aged scholar.

But the person behind the middle-aged scholar is different, on the right is a strong giant, when he saw this person, Li Su first thought of the tiger aunt in the house, the two are about the same size, and they are both the same strong, but this strong man has a big beard on his face, and he can't see what he looks like? Wearing a wide robe, but it couldn't cover the bulging muscles on his body, he walked vigorously, and anyone within ten meters could feel the vibration of the ground.

On the left is a bald head, and the exposed skin such as the neck and arms are all scars, and even there is a long knife mark on the face, which cuts from the left ear to the nose, almost splitting the entire face in two, looking indescribably hideous.

In addition to these three people, there are four other people guarding behind him, although these four people are not as good as the strong men and bald heads in front, but their appearance is also more vicious than the other, and at first glance they are good materials for the kind of underworld.

Although the other party looks a little more vicious, the guards around Li Su are also experienced in a hundred battles, so they shouldn't have such a big reaction, not to mention that when people came in, they didn't even have a weapon on their bodies, and their dozen or so guards even pulled out horizontal knives, which also seemed too abnormal.

"Your Highness, these people are very dangerous!" The leader of the guards whispered to Li Su. These people are the elite selected from various armies. Everyone crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and there was an instinctive alertness to danger, and as soon as these people came in, they immediately felt as if they were back on the battlefield of flesh and blood, so they instinctively drew their swords and guarded.

The middle-aged scholar at the head saw the reaction of Li Su's guard, and a faint disdain flashed in his eyes, but when he turned to Li Su. But he bowed to the ground and saluted: "Grass people Lu Qing, meet His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

As the middle-aged scholar saluted, the people behind him also bowed down to see Li Su. It's just that his attitude is not as respectful as that of a middle-aged scholar, and even the strong man raised his head and looked Li Su up and down a few times, and his eyes seemed to be a little unkind.

"Huh. Hurry up, please! Li Su asked the surrounding guards to retreat, no matter how dangerous the other party is, this is the Qi Palace, in addition to the guards around him, there are hundreds of guards outside the palace, the other party only has seven people, and there are no weapons, unless the other party is like those characters in the martial arts novels of later generations, otherwise even the most powerful person will not be able to hurt himself. However, although the guard stepped aside, the knife in his hand was not sheathed. Still staring at each other with a wary face, as long as they make any changes, they will fight to the death to protect the safety of His Royal Highness King Qi.

"Your Highness!" This Lu Qing seems to be very generous, although he is just a businessman, his words and deeds are neither humble nor arrogant. And there is no lack of etiquette, obviously a person who has seen the world. However, the people behind him were much worse, and after standing up, they looked up at Li Su one by one, without any sense of condescension and inferiority. Although the other party was a little rude, Li Su didn't care much about this etiquette. The guards around them were on the alert, so no one came out to accuse them.

"Lu Qing, where are you from, where do you live now, and why did you come to Dengzhou?" Li Su asked casually, he asked Lu Qing and them to come, not just to see each other, but to explain some things.

"Your Royal Highness, the grass people were originally from Jiangling, just for their livelihood, they have been drifting on the sea since then, and now they take the sea as their home, and this time they came to Dengzhou to sell silk." Lu Qing went home very decently.

"The sea as your home?" Li Su was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking that this Lu Qing was so big that he actually regarded the extremely dangerous sea as his home, this person was either extremely familiar with the sea, or he was bragging.

"Lu Qing, you dare to take the sea as your home, you must be very familiar with the sea?" Li Su felt that the other party might be bragging, but it was difficult to say it, so he wanted to test him.

"Your Royal Highness, I have lived on this sea for most of my life, so I am naturally very familiar with the sea." Lu Qing looks very humble on the surface, but in fact, he has a sense of arrogance in his bones, and even when facing Li Su, the prince, his words show pride from time to time.

"Okay, then let me ask you, where have you been to after being adrift at sea for so long?" Li Su really wants to kill the arrogance of the other party, but he definitely doesn't know as much as the other party about sailing on the sea, but this doesn't bother him, so he just fights with the other party to see who we are afraid of?

"Your Highness, there are many places where the grass people have been, Java and other countries in the south; Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and Wa kingdoms in the north, the grass people in the west went to Tianzhu, and then bypassed a peninsula from Tianzhu and reached Persia. Lu Qing said in the same humble but arrogant tone.

Li Su was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that this Lu Qing was really a talent, and he had even been to Persia thousands of miles away, in this era of inconvenient transportation, he could definitely be called a great navigator.

Although Li Su admired in his heart, he couldn't admit defeat, he was about to use this incident to shock the other party, so he made a regretful expression, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, even if you can't go to Daqin, if you go westerly and cross the peninsula occupied by Dashi, you can reach the African continent, which is not only one of the production areas of Kunlun slaves, but also rich in gold, rhinoceros horn, ivory and other things, if you can go on a trip, you can definitely make a lot of money." ”

"Hmm~" Hearing Li Su's words, Lu Qing and the others were all stunned, and the more they listened, the more shocked they became, and when Li Su finished speaking, Lu Qing hurriedly asked, "Your Highness knows about the big food?" Do you still know that continent rich in Kunlun slaves? ”

"Hehe, what's so strange about this, this king not only knows about the West, but even the East where you haven't been to know it clearly!" Li Su saw that his effect had been achieved, and he couldn't help but say proudly.

"To the east? Isn't the east just the flow of seeking? Lu Qing asked with a puzzled expression, except for Tianzhu and Persia, their horizon can only be limited to East Asia.

"Cut~, what is the flow of searching? After the Pacific Ocean is the Pacific Ocean, this is a vast and endless sea, with the current sea boats, it is estimated that it will take several months to pass through, after crossing the Pacific Ocean, it is North and South America, the two continents together, nearly ten times larger than the area of my Datang, and it is simply full of gold, the real golden continent. Li Su said with a yearning face, although his mouth was talking about gold, but what he thought about was the chili pepper there, and when he thought of the deliciousness of the chili pepper, his saliva almost flowed out.

Seeing that Li Su was a dignified prince, when he mentioned the American continent, he almost drooled, which allowed Lu Qing to resemble the richness above. At the same time, thinking of his arrogant appearance just now, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, he always thought that he was about to turn the whole world, but it wasn't until today that he realized that he was still far behind.

"His Royal Highness has seen extraordinary, and the grass people are convinced!" Lu Qing arrived on the ground, and only then did he really let go of the arrogance in his heart and began to face the teenage King Qi in front of him.

"Where, this king is just talking on paper, not as good as Mr. Lu going south and north, hating my identity, so that I can't venture on the sea, I can't witness many overseas scenery, it's a pity in life!" Although Li Su was proud in his heart, he didn't forget to praise the other party a few words, after all, he saw that this Lu Qing was also a talent, and if he could collect it, it would be a rare help.

Hearing Li Su's praise, Lu Qing naturally hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and then the two talked about this maritime matter, one was rich in geographical knowledge, and the other was extraordinary in maritime experience, and the two naturally talked very happily. However, the strong man and the bald head behind Lu Qing were not interested in these things, and stood there with a dissatisfied face, almost wanting to interrupt the conversation between Lu Qing and Li Su, but they temporarily retreated.

Just when Li Su and Lu Qing were talking more and more speculatively, suddenly there was a heavy footstep sound outside the hall, and then the door of the hall was dark, and a tall and strong body walked in.

Aunt Hu held the tray in her hand, strode into the hall, turned a blind eye to Lu Qing and the others next to her, walked up to Li Su in a few steps and said, "Your Highness, this is the chicken soup made by the princess for you, drink it while it's hot!" ”

Although Aunt Tiger didn't show anything unusual, when Lu Qing, including the strong man behind him, saw Aunt Tiger, they all shrank back imperceptibly, especially the strong man, the dissatisfaction with Li Su on his face just now was no longer visible, replaced by a kind of forced calmness.

Li Su was still wondering just now, it's not time to take medicine yet, why is Aunt Tiger here? I didn't expect to send chicken soup to myself, so I smiled and said, "Well, Aunt Tiger has worked hard, you can put it here, I'll drink it in a while!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Aunt Tiger agreed, and after putting the chicken soup down, she picked up the tray and walked out of the hall, but just when she was staggered with Lu Qing and the others, Aunt Hu, who was facing away from Li Su, suddenly swept Lu Qing and the others with her eyes like electricity, especially when she saw the strong man and the bald head, her fists suddenly tightened, and a few crisp bone joints sounded in the ears of the strong man and the bald head, which immediately frightened the two of them into paleness, and honestly lowered her head and stood behind Lu Qing, never daring to have any different colors.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Aunt Tiger smiled with satisfaction and strode out of the hall. It wasn't until after watching Aunt Tiger's background disappear that the strong man and the bald head glanced at each other with a wry smile, and it seemed that they would have a hard time in the future. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
