    Li Min was stunned at that time. He looked at the few people who came in together and found that the other person was really special. The leader among them was not bad. He looked to be more than forty years old. He was very tall and had an ordinary appearance.  Fair and clean, wearing a green robe, with a short beard under his chin, he looked like a gentle middle-aged scholar.

    But the person behind the middle-aged scholar was different. On the right was an extremely strong man. When he saw this person, Li Min first thought of Aunt Tiger in his house. The two were about the same size and equally strong.  , but this strong man has a big beard on his face, so you can¡¯t tell what he looks like?  He was wearing a large robe, but it couldn't cover the bulging muscles on his body. He walked with a strong wind, and people within ten meters could feel the vibration of the ground.

    On the left is a bald head. The exposed skin on his neck, arms, etc. are all covered with scars. There is even a long scar on his face, from his left ear to his nose, almost covering his entire face.  Divided into two, it looked indescribably ferocious.

    In addition to these three people, there are four other people guarding behind them. Although these four people are not as strong as the bald man in front of them, they look more sinister than the last. At first glance, they are good materials for the underworld.

    Although the other party looks a bit more ferocious, the guards around Li Min are all experienced in many battles, so they should not have such a big reaction, not to mention that when they came in, they didn't even have weapons on them. They were ten  Several guards even drew their swords, which seemed too abnormal.

    "Your Highness, these people are very dangerous!" the guard leader whispered to Li Min.  These people are all elites selected from various armies.  Everyone climbed out from the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and had an instinctive alertness to danger. As soon as these people came in, they immediately felt as if they were back on the battlefield where blood and flesh were everywhere, and then they instinctively pulled out  Knife alert.

    When the middle-aged scholar at the head saw the reaction of Li Min's guard, a hint of vague disdain flashed in his eyes, but he turned to Li Min.  However, he bowed to the ground and saluted: "Common man Lu Qing, pay my respects to His Highness the King of Qi!"

    As the middle-aged scholar saluted, the people behind him also bowed to pay homage to Li Min.  But his attitude was not as respectful as that of the middle-aged scholar. The strong man even looked up and down at Li Min with his head raised, and his eyes seemed a bit unkind.

    "Haha. Please get up quickly!" Li Min asked the surrounding guards to step back. No matter how dangerous the opponent is, this is Prince Qi's Mansion. In addition to the guards around him, there are hundreds of guards outside the palace. There are only seven of them, and there are not any  Weapons, unless the opponent is like those characters in later martial arts novels, even the most powerful person cannot hurt you.  However, although the guard stepped aside, the knife in his hand was not sheathed.  They were still staring at each other with a wary expression. As long as they made any move, they would fight to the death to protect His Highness King Qi's safety.

    "Thank you, Your Highness!" This Lu Qing seemed very dignified. Although he was just a businessman, his words and deeds were neither humble nor overbearing.  And he is not lacking in etiquette. He is obviously a man who has seen the world.  However, the people behind him were much worse. After standing up, they all looked up and stared at Li Min, without any sense of superiority or inferiority.  Although the other party behaved a little rudely, Li Min didn't care much about this etiquette.  The guards around them were on 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 Min asked casually. He asked Lu Qing and the others not just to see each other, but to explain something.  .

    "Your Majesty, the grassroots are originally from Jiangling. They have been wandering on the sea just to make a living. Now they call the sea their home. This time they came to Dengzhou to sell silk." Lu Qing returned home very happily.  Appropriate.

    "Making the sea your home?" Li Min was startled after hearing this, thinking that Lu Qing was so arrogant that he actually regarded the extremely dangerous sea as his home. This person was either very familiar with the sea, or he was bragging.

    "Lu Qing, you dare to call the sea your home. You must be very familiar with the sea?" Li Min felt that the other party might be bragging, but it was hard to tell, so he wanted to test him.

    "Your Highness, I have lived on the 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. Even when facing the prince Li Min, his words are not clear.  Showing pride from time to time.

    "Okay, then let me ask you, where have you been since you have been wandering at sea for so long?" Li Min really wanted to kill the other party's arrogance, but he definitely didn't know as much as the other party about sailing on the sea, but  This is not a problem for him. He just wants to compete with each other on geography to see who of us is afraid of whom?

    "Your Highness, the grassroots people have been to many places, including Java and other countries in the south; Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and Japan in the north; and the grassroots people in the west.I went to Tianzhu, and then went around a peninsula from Tianzhu to Persia. I heard that after passing through Persia, I could reach the Qin Dynasty in the ancient books. It was a pity that the grassroots people were unable to go westward at that time.  Lu Qing said in the same tone that showed humility but was actually arrogant.

    Li Min was also shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that this Lu Qing was really talented. He had even been to Persia, which was thousands of miles away. In this era of inconvenient transportation, he could definitely be called an amazing navigator.  .

    Although Li Min admired in his heart, he could not admit defeat. He wanted to use this incident to shock the other party, so he made a regretful expression, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity. Even if you can't go to Daqin, if you  Further west, across the peninsula occupied by Dashi, you can reach the African continent. Not only is it one of the origins of Kunlun slaves, but it is also rich in gold, rhinoceros horns, ivory and other items. If you can go there, you will definitely  You can make a lot of money.¡±

    "Hmm~" Hearing Li Min's words, Lu Qing and the others were stunned, and the more they listened, the more shocked they became. After Li Min finished speaking, Lu Qing hurriedly asked: "Your Highness knows about Dashi? He also knows about the rich area.  Kunlun slave¡¯s continent?¡±

    "Haha, what's so strange about this? Not only do I know things about the West, but I also know everything about the East that you haven't gone to!" Li Min said with a proud look on his face when he saw that he had achieved the effect.

    "The east? Isn't the east just Liuqiu?" Lu Qing asked with a puzzled look. Apart from going to Tianzhu and Persia, their horizons could only be limited to East Asia.

    "Tch~, what is Liuqiu? After Liuqiu, you will reach the Pacific Ocean. This is a vast and boundless sea. With today's sea ships, it is estimated that it will take several months to cross it. After crossing the Pacific Ocean, you will reach North and South America.  The two continents put together are nearly ten times larger than the area of ??our Tang Dynasty, and there is simply gold everywhere on it, a real golden continent." Li Min said with a longing look on his face, although he was talking about gold, but he  What he was thinking about was the chili there. Thinking of the deliciousness of the chili, his mouth almost watered.

    Seeing Li Min, a dignified prince, almost drooling when he mentioned that American continent, this allowed Lu Qing to imagine the wealth there.  At the same time, he thought about how arrogant he was just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He always thought that he had almost turned the whole world around, but it wasn't until today that he discovered that he was still far behind. Look at King Qi,  Although he is young, his knowledge is several times greater than his own.

    "Your Highness has extraordinary knowledge, and the common people are convinced!" Lu Qing reached the ground, and then he really let go of his arrogance and began to face the teenage His Highness King Qi in front of him.

    "Wherever, I am just talking on paper. I am not as good as Mr. Lu who travels all over the country. I hate that my status prevents me from taking risks on the sea and seeing many overseas scenery with my own eyes. It is really a pity in life!" Although Li Min  He was proud of himself, but he did not forget to praise the other party. After all, he thought that Lu Qing was also a talented person, and if he could put it to his own use, it would be a rare help.

    Hearing Li Min's compliment, Lu Qing naturally hurriedly said a few words of humility, and then the two of them talked about this matter at sea. One had rich geographical knowledge, and the other had extraordinary experience at sea. The two naturally talked happily.  However, the strong man and the bald man behind Lu Qing were not interested in these. He stood there with a dissatisfied look on his face, almost wanting to interrupt the conversation between Lu Qing and Li Min, but he backed down temporarily.

    Just when Li Min and Lu Qing were talking more and more speculatively, suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the palace, and then the door of the palace darkened, and a tall and strong body walked in. Li Min didn't need to look at him to know that the entire Qi Prince's Mansion, except for  Except for Aunt Tiger, no one can have such a figure.

    Holding the tray in her hand, Aunt Tiger strode into the palace, turning a blind eye to Lu Qing and others next to her. She walked up to Li Min and said, "Your Highness, this is the chicken soup the princess made for you. Please take advantage of it while it's hot."  Drink it!¡±

    Although Aunt Tiger didn't show anything strange, when Lu Qing and the strong man behind him saw Aunt Tiger, they all shrank back inconspicuously, especially the strong man, who had the face just now.  Li Min's dissatisfaction can no longer be seen, replaced by a forced calmness.

    Li Min was still wondering just now. It's not time to take medicine yet, so why is Aunt Tiger here?  Unexpectedly, he was getting chicken soup for himself, so he smiled and said, "Well, Aunt Tiger, thank you for your hard work. Just leave it here and I'll drink it soon!"

    "Yes, Your Highness!" Aunt Tiger agreed, poured down the chicken soup, picked up the tray and walked out of the hall. However, just as she was crossing paths with Lu Qing and others, Aunt Tiger, who had her back turned to Li Min, suddenly had lightning-like eyes.  After scanning Lu Qing and others, especially when he saw the strong man and the bald man, his fists suddenly tightened, and a few crisp joint sounds reached the ears of the strong man and the bald man, immediately frightening the two of them and turned pale.  He lowered his head seriously and stood behind Lu Qing, not daring to say anything anymore.?Odd color.

    Seeing the reaction of the two people, Aunt Tiger smiled with satisfaction and strode out of the hall.  It wasn't until Aunt Tiger's background disappeared that the brawny man and the bald man looked at each other with a wry smile. It seemed like they would suffer a lot in the future.
