Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they also understood this, but this was the result they least wanted to see.

Because Zhang Zhongjian can be said to be a man in the martial arts world, a man in the grassroots, or a master in the world, he will never be considered a man in the court no matter what.

However, Su Cheng was a completely resident of the court.

Even though Zhang Zhongjian was a hero and once famous, he was just a hero in the end. No matter how heroic or heroic a person was, he could not monopolize the sea route to the Western Regions.

But Su Cheng can do it!

Not to mention that Su Cheng himself already has a huge family business and has extremely high abilities, Su Cheng can also gain strong support from the emperor and even integrate a group of noble families in Chang'an, so Su Cheng is fully capable of monopolizing the sea route to the Western Regions.

Next is the game with Su Cheng. The game with Su Cheng is not that simple. Su Cheng is a powerful figure, and Chang'an can be said to be Su Cheng's territory.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't care whether the aristocratic family members followed him. Compared with the nobles in the court, he looked down on the people of the aristocratic family. The nobles in the court at least pacified the world. What about the aristocratic family members, except for the stinky and interests in their eyes?

They have no idea how vast the world is!

As he drove all the way to Sujiazhuang, Zhang Zhongjian was filled with emotion. This change is so big, and Sujiazhuang has become more broad and prosperous.

In fact, he could feel the changes in the Tang Dynasty along the way, especially the changes in the roads. The cement roads had been rapidly spreading on the main official roads.

But it was not as shocking as Sujiazhuang had given him.

Looking at the building shining in the sun, Zhang Zhongjian asked with a shocked look: "What is that?"

Someone actually had glass inlaid on the upper floor, which was so shocking!

Although he knew that Su Cheng had found the secret recipe for glazing and could make glazing, he was still shocked to see the entire building inlaid with glass. The preciousness of glazing has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even Zhang Zhongjian was shocked, not to mention following his brothers, and they opened their mouths in surprise, as if they saw a mountain of gold.

At this moment, they only had one thought in their mind, aren’t they afraid that someone would steal the glass?

Zhang Zhongjian grabbed a past scholar and asked, "Luojia asked, what is that?"

"I don't even know this. I'm the first time I arrived in Chang'an?" The scholar asked with a smile. Obviously, he was no longer surprised by this, and he explained it very skillfully.

"That was a library established by Duke Rong. It is open to everyone for free. Everyone can go in to read. The collection of books is very rich and is still increasing. It can even be said to be the richest place in the world! It is a holy place for scholars!"

Library? A place where everyone can read books for free? And it is the most abundant place in the world?

Zhang Zhongjian was shocked by the glaze on the upper floor just now, but now he was shocked by the significance of this library.

I never thought that there was such a library in this world, with the best book collection in the world and free of charge to everyone. This is really a holy place for poor students!

In addition to being shocked, Zhang Zhongjian was a little surprised, feeling that only Su Cheng could do such a thing.

It's so interesting! There are such interesting people in this world!

"Let's go, Rong Guo Duke's Mansion!" Zhang Zhongjian drove his horse straight to the Duke's Mansion.

Su Cheng was about to go out when he saw dozens of people galloping towards him, followed by several heavy carriages.

The first person was the very eye-catching bearded guest. Although the bearded guest has become much darker, has lost a lot, and has become much more vicissitudes, his unique beard and unique temperament are as eye-catching as fireflies in the night.

"Duke Rong, I'm back, I haven't seen you for a long time!" said the bearded guest laughing.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The hero is back, congratulations!"

The bearded guest turned over and dismounted and smiled and said, "What are you going to congratulate? It's the Duke who should congratulate him. He successfully verified the Duke's guess. The world we live in is really a ball. This is incredible and amazing!"

What are you going to congratulate on this? Su Cheng had known that this world is a ball, but he didn't know what it was like. He had seen what the ball was like.

But you can't say this, otherwise it will be really scary. Su Cheng smiled and said, "In fact, people have always been full of yearning for the sea and fear, because the sea is so big that it is difficult to explore."

"So, since ancient times, the sea has been full of mystery. Zhang Daxia's voyage can be said to be pioneering, epoch-making, and will be recorded in history and admired by future generations!"

The bearded guest smiled and said, "I was young and frivolous when I was young. I wanted to do something big, want to become famous all over the world, and want to be recorded in history forever. But later, I have already seen it."

"I don't dare to be interested in this history, but I like to explore the unknown. So I am very grateful to the Duke for his help and tips. Otherwise, we will have no direction at all and we will not be able to return smoothly."

"This journey is really difficult. If it weren't for the Duke's navigation manual, I really don't know how many brothers could save me back."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I've been caring about you all the time. It's great to be able to come back smoothly. Today I'll welcome you and celebrate it well!"

The bearded guest smiled and said, "Okay, what I miss most during this long journey is the wine from the Duke's Mansion. I must drink it happily today. I brought you some gifts, which are some local specialties along the way. They are worth nothing, and they are quite novel."

"I don't have anything else here, so I definitely have enough good wine!" Su Cheng looked at the carriage behind, then looked at the bearded guests and the others, and asked with a smile: "Have you not Zhang Daxia ever been to the Duke of Wei's Mansion? The Duke of Wei and his wife have always been worried about you!"

The bearded guest smiled and shook his head, saying, "I often go there for several years and there is no news. They don't need to worry. I just need to know that their couple is living well."

Su Cheng turned around and ordered the servant, "Go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to report a letter, and say that Mr. Zhang is here!"

The bearded guest smiled and said, "No, I'll drink it first and then go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion."

This long voyage was too thrilling and exciting, and he also gained the most. After returning, he kept his mouth shut, but in fact he really wanted to share it with others.

The person he wanted to share most was Su Cheng, not Li Jing and his wife, because he felt that only Su Cheng knew best in this world.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Let's go and send a letter first. Anyway, it won't delay us from drinking, otherwise I'm afraid that Aunt Li will call you when she finds out later!"
