Li Yan was stunned at the time. He looked at the people who came in together and found that the other party was really special. The one in the leader was pretty good. He looked more than 40 years old and had a very tall figure. Although he was ordinary, he was fair and fair. He was wearing a green robe and had short beards under his jaw, and looked like a gentle middle-aged scholar.

However, the people behind the middle-aged scholar were different. On the right was a huge giant man. When he saw this person, Li Yan was the first to think of Aunt Hu in the mansion. The two of them were about the same size and both were as strong. However, this strong man had a big beard and couldn't see clearly what he looked like. He was wearing a wide robe, but he couldn't cover the bulging muscles on his body. When he walked, he was full of wind, and people within ten meters could feel the vibration of the ground.

On the left is a bald head, with scars on the exposed skin of the neck, arms, etc., and even a long knife mark on the face, which cut from the left ear to the nose, almost dividing the entire face in two, looking indescribable.

In addition to these three people, there were four other guards behind them. Although these four people were not as strong as the strong man and bald man in front, they looked more ferocious than the other. At first glance, they were good materials for gangsters.

Although the other party looked a little more ferocious, the guards around Li Yan were all experienced and had no such great reaction. What's more, when they came in, they didn't even have a weapon on their bodies. The dozen of their guards actually pulled out even the horizontal swords, which seemed too abnormal.

"Your Highness, these people are very dangerous!" The leader of the guard said to Li Yan in a low voice. These people were all elites selected from various armies. Each of them crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and had an instinctive alertness about danger. As soon as these people came in, they immediately felt as if they were back on the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying, so they instinctively drew their swords to warn.

The middle-aged scholar in the head saw the reaction of Li Yan's guard, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but when he turned to Li Yan, he bowed to the ground and said, "Caomin Lu Qing, pay homage to His Highness the King of Qi!"

As the middle-aged scholar bowed, the people behind him bowed to pay homage to Li Yan. However, his attitude was not as respectful as the middle-aged scholar. Even the strong man raised his head and looked at Li Yan up and down, his eyes seemed to be a little unkind.

"Haha. Please get up quickly!" Li Yan asked the guards around him to retreat. So what if the other party is dangerous? This is the Qi Palace. In addition to the guards around him, there are hundreds of guards outside the hall. There are only seven people and no weapons. Unless the other party is like the characters in later martial arts novels, even the most powerful person will not hurt him. However, although the guard retreated aside, the knife in his hand did not return to sheath. He still stared at the other party with a cautious look on his face. As long as they had any abnormal movement, they would fight to death to protect His Highness the King of Qi's safety.

"Thank you!" Lu Qing seemed very arrogant. Although he was just a merchant, his words and deeds were neither humble nor arrogant. He was not lacking in etiquette. He was obviously a person who had seen the world. However, the people behind him were much worse. After standing up, they looked up at Li Yan one by one, without any sense of superiority and inferiority. Although the other party was a little rude, Li Yan was not very concerned about this etiquette. The guards around him were also warned, so no one came out to accuse them.

"Where are you from Lu Qing? Where are you living now? Why did you come to Dengzhou?" Li Yan asked casually. He asked Lu Qing and the others to come, but not just to see each other, but to explain some things.

"Your Highness, Caomin was originally from Jiangling. He started drifting on the sea for his livelihood. Now he regards the sea as his home. This time he came to Dengzhou to sell silk." Lu Qing returned home very appropriately.

"Take the sea as your home?" Li Yan was stunned after hearing this, thinking that Lu Qing had a very big tone and actually regarded the extremely dangerous sea as his home. This person was either extremely familiar with the sea or was bragging.

"Lu Qing, you dare to regard the sea as your home. I guess you are very familiar with the sea?" Li Yan felt that the other party might be bragging, but it was hard to say it out, so he wanted to test him.

"Your Highness, I have lived on this sea for most of my life, so I am naturally very familiar with the sea." Lu Qing looked very humble on the surface, but in fact he had a sense of arrogance in his bones. Even when facing Prince Li Yan, his words often showed a sense of pride.

"Okay, then I'll ask you, where have you been wandering on the sea for so long?" Li Yan really wanted to kill the other party's arrogance, but he definitely knew the other party's boating, but this would not be a problem for him. He might as well compete with the other party in geography to see who is afraid of who we are?

"Your Highness, Caomin has been to many places, such as Java in the south; Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and Japan in the north, and Caomin from the west, and then bypassed a peninsula from Tianzhu and arrived in Persia. I heard that after passing through Persia, you can reach the Qin Dynasty in ancient books. Unfortunately, Caomin was unable to travel west at that time." Lu Qing said in the tone of humility and actually arrogant.

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

Although Li Yan was amazed in his heart, he could not admit defeat. He was about to use this to shock the other party, so he made a regretful expression and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that even if you can't go to the Qin Dynasty, if you go west and cross the peninsula occupied by Dashi, you can reach the African continent. It is not only one of the origins of Kunlun slaves, but also produces gold, rhino horns, ivory and other things. If you can go there, you will definitely make a big profit."

"Yeah~" Lu Qing and the others were stunned when they heard Li Yan's words, and the more they heard it, the more shocked he became. After Li Yan finished speaking, Lu Qing hurriedly asked: "Your Highness knows the big food? Do you also know the continent that is rich in Kunlun slaves?"

"Haha, what's so strange about this? I not only know about the West, but also know the East that you haven't gone to!" Li Yan couldn't help but say with a proud look when he saw that his effect had been achieved.

"East? Isn't it Liu Qiu in the east?" Lu Qing asked with a puzzled look. Apart from being in India and Persia, their horizons can only be limited to East Asia.

"Tsk~, what is Liuqiu? After Liuqiu, it is the Pacific Ocean. This is a vast and endless sea. With the current sea ships, it is probably several months before they can pass through. After passing the Pacific Ocean, it is North and South America. The two continents together are nearly ten times larger than the area of ​​my Tang Dynasty. Moreover, there is gold everywhere on it. It is a real golden continent." Li Yan said yearningly. Although he was talking about gold in his mouth, he was thinking about the peppers there. When he thought of the deliciousness of the peppers, his saliva almost flowed out.

When he saw Li Yan, a dignified prince, almost even saliva flowed out when he mentioned the American continent, which made Lu Qing look like the rich above. At the same time, he also felt a little ashamed when he thought of his arrogant appearance just now. He always thought that he had almost moved the whole world, but until today he realized that he was still far from it. Look at the other King Qi, although he was young, his knowledge was more than several times that of his.

"Your Highness is extraordinary and the people are convinced!" Lu Qing once compiled it, and then he truly let go of his arrogance in his heart and began to face the teenage King of Qi in front of him.

"Where is there, I am just talking about war on paper. I can't compare to Mr. Lu's journey across the country. It's a pity that I can't take the risk of traveling on the sea or witnessing the many glory overseas with my own eyes. It's a pity in life!" Although Li Yan was proud of his heart, he did not forget to praise the other party. After all, he saw that Lu Qing was also a talented person. If he could take it back to his own use, it would be a rare help.

When Lu Qing heard Li Yan's praise, Lu Qing naturally hurriedly said a few humble words, and then the two talked about the sea affairs. One was rich in geography and the other was extraordinary experience at sea. Naturally, they had a great conversation. However, the strong man and bald man behind Lu Qing were not interested in these things, and stood there with dissatisfaction, almost trying to interrupt Lu Qing and Li Yan's conversation, but they retreated temporarily.

Just as Li Yan and Lu Qing were getting more and more prone to talk, a heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Then, a tall and strong body walked in at the door of the hall. Without looking at Li Yan, there was no need to see that no one in the Qi Palace could have such a body except Aunt Hu.

Aunt Hu held a tray in her hand and walked into the hall with big strides. She turned a blind eye to Lu Qing and others beside her. She walked to Li Yan a few steps and said, "Your Highness, this is the chicken soup made by the princess for you. You should drink it while it's hot!"

Although Aunt Hu did not show any abnormality, Lu Qing, including the strong man behind him, all of them shrank back with little clue when they saw Aunt Hu. Especially the strong man, who could no longer see the dissatisfaction with Li Yan on his face just now, and replaced it with a kind of pretending calmness.

Li Yan was still wondering just now that it was not time to take medicine, why did Aunt Hu come? Unexpectedly, she actually gave herself chicken soup, so she smiled and said, "Well, thank you Aunt Hu for your hard work, you can put it here, I'll drink it later!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Aunt Hu agreed, put the chicken soup down, picked up the tray and walked out of the hall. However, when she was intertwining with Lu Qing and others, Aunt Hu, who was facing away from Li Yan, suddenly glanced at Lu Qing and others with his eyes as lightning. Especially when she saw the strong man and the bald man, her fists suddenly tightened, and a few crisp sounds of joints reached the strong man and the bald man's ears, which immediately scared the two of them to the pale face. She lowered her head honestly and stood behind Lu Qing, and she no longer dared to have any strange colors.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Aunt Hu smiled with satisfaction and walked out of the hall with big strides. It was not until after Aunt Hu's background disappeared that the strong man and Bald man looked at each other with a wry smile. It seemed that they would suffer in the future.
