Chapter 208 Scare you to death

The servants of the Duke of Wei's Mansion hurriedly ran to report the news and alarmed all the yamen. Li Shimin then received the news.

When Li Shimin heard that Su Cheng was beaten by the Duke of Wei, he was so scared that he rushed over because the Duke of Wei was sick and his mind was sometimes a little abnormal.

But Li Shimin, who came, saw Su Cheng talking loudly. When he heard Su Cheng talking endlessly, not only Li Jing and the others were fascinated, but even Li Shimin was fascinated.

He didn't expect that Su Cheng would be so knowledgeable about navigation and even know how to build ships!

Hearing Su Cheng say that an island overseas was full of spices and burned them as firewood, he was so shocked that he almost made his eyes stand out.

When he heard that there was a silver mine overseas, which contained tens of millions of taels of silver, he wanted to send a ship to grab it immediately.

Even though he was the emperor, he was drooled by greed.

He heard that Su Cheng had land as vast and rich as the Tang Dynasty overseas, and no one lived there, so he was so greedy.

Born as a human being, who still thinks there is too much land?

Born as an emperor, who still thinks that there is too much territory?

Unfortunately, it seems that Su Cheng’s meaning is quite far away.

What Li Shimin is most interested in is that Su Cheng actually knew the map of the whole world, what would the world look like?

Li Shimin wanted to continue listening with relish, but he had to cough twice.

If you don’t cough twice, this silly boy will tell others like a bamboo tube pouring beans!

How precious is the sea chart I just drew? Why did I give it to the bearded guest for free? Li Shimin felt so distressed, and I really wished I could give Su Cheng a hard head.

What a spendthrift!

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Chaobian, do you still remember me?"

The bearded guest had met Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin was still young and was just an unknown young man. The bearded guest had already become famous all over the world.

"Your Majesty is rich in the world and rule the world, of course I remember!" The bearded guest said calmly, without any excitement at all when he saw the emperor.

"In a blink of an eye, the bearded guest who was famous all over the world was already old. Since he came to Chang'an, it would be better to live in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, so that he could enjoy his old age." Li Shimin smiled.

"If someone stays there, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not be at ease." The bearded guest said calmly.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "How can I be uneasy? You underestimate my mind too much."

The bearded guest said in a deep voice: "Although I am old, I still have ambitions. I only want to enter the sea to cut the wind and waves in this life, and be happy for the rest of my life."

Li Shimin glanced at Su Cheng and smiled and said, "What do you think of my son-in-law?"

The bearded guest smiled and said, "When I first met, I thought it was an ignorant and vain man who was so arrogant. Later I realized that not only was the most talented in poetry but also the best in martial arts. Now I feel that this son is unparalleled in national talent!"

These words sounded very proud, and even made Li Shimin feel a little embarrassed. No matter how much Su Cheng praised his poems, he was fine, but martial arts, cough.

Seeing Su Cheng smiling aside, Li Shimin was quite speechless. How thick-skinned do you have to smile?

"This kid is really capable of a great task after he tempers it. Now, he just doesn't have a good idea when he speaks." Li Shimin said with a smile.

The bearded guest said solemnly: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. Today, I have benefited a lot, especially the chart drawn by Mr. Su is very important to me. I have also accumulated a lot of treasures overseas. I will take them to Mr. Su to express my gratitude."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I'm disrespectful. If Zhang Daxia really plans to travel to Fusang, he can come to me. I will help you."

The bearded guest clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Gao Yi!"

Li Shimin, who was standing beside him, was very reluctant to hear that, "Why are you doing for the bearded guest?"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Boy Su, can you draw a map of the whole world? Have you been to it? What exactly is this world like? Is it really a round sky and a place?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Let me say so, if you start from here and identify a direction that remains unchanged and keep moving, one day you will return to the starting point."

Everyone was stunned and Cheng Yaojin shouted: "How could he return to the origin? Did the Jade Emperor set up a Bagua formation in the whole world? My old Cheng said that no one has reached the border of the world since ancient times, so that's how it is!"

The others almost laughed when they heard this. How could it be that the Jade Emperor set up a maze array?

But why do you return to the starting point if you keep going?

Unless it is a circle, it is not right, it is impossible to be a circle, unless it is...

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, and the bearded guest all shook their heads and said, "This is impossible!"

Cheng Yaojin was confused: "How is it impossible? Boy Su said so. It must be the Jade Emperor who set up the gossip formation. If you don't believe me, please ask Boy Su?"

Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Old Fairy Cheng is right, when did Boy Su miss it?"

Li Ji said speechlessly: "Su Cheng means that our world is a ball."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were stunned for a moment, then laughed.

A series of demonic laughter echoed in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's tears were almost coming out of laughter.

"Boy Su, are you stupid? Our world is a ball? We are all standing on the ball? Are you not afraid of falling? Hahaha..."

Li Shimin also laughed and said, "Su Cheng, what you said is too irritating. I once led a large army to fight south and north. Although the terrain is different, each has its ups and downs, the world is generally flat."

You ignorant people still have the nerve to laugh at me? You are obviously fools, but you actually think I am a fool?

Su Cheng quickly explained: "This world is big, so big that it is beyond your imagination. In addition, there are ups and downs on the land, so of course you cannot detect the arc."

The bearded guest smiled and said, "Where is the sea, the sea is flat!"

Li Shimin, Li Jing and others nodded together and said, "No, the sea is flat!"

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "No, the sea can prove that it is not flat!"

The bearded guest asked with a puzzled look: "What do you mean? I have been circulating across the sea for so many years, and the sea is indeed flat. You have to know that water can flow, how can it be uneven?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zhang is often on the sea, I wonder if you have noticed that when a boat sails far away, the masts that will eventually disappear must be the masts, right?"

The bearded guest was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully and then his face became solemn after a while: "Yes, as you said, the mast disappeared in the end."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "That's it. If there is a small island with high mountains, then the last thing that disappears must be the top of the mountain, because the sea is not flat."

While talking, Su Cheng gestured.

Everyone was stunned. The bearded guest, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji and others were all extremely talented, but they could not speak up.
