Lu Wan entered the hall, then secretly looked up and saw a young man in his thirties on the main seat, with short beards under his jaw, and a bit decisive in his mightyness.

I know, it must be the legendary King Li Ke of Wu.

On the left side of Li Ke was a slightly fat young man who was only in his twenties. He had a faint smile on his face and looked extremely kind. He should be King Jiang, the protective pope Li Yun of India.

Opposite Li Yun, there is a strong and sharp-eyed young man, who looks a few years younger than Li Yun. Although he is wearing casual clothes, he cannot hide his murderous aura. Naturally, he is determined by killing.

The famous Li Zhen. However, in addition to Li Ke and the other three, there was a young man sitting next to him, and he looked like he was a minister of Li Zhen and Li Yun.

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian saluted Li Ke and the other two first, and then Lu Wan stepped forward to report: "Lu Wan, a wise man, pay homage to His Highness the King of Wu, and pay homage to the two popes!"

With Lu Wan's loud report, Li Ke, Li Zhen and Li Yun were also stunned. Then Li Ke was the first to react and said, "Lu Wan, you are the one who explores the new routes between Australia and America.

Captain Lü?"

"Your Highness, it's Mr. Lu!" Lu Wan bowed and replied.

Hearing Lu Wan's answer, not only did Li Ke look happy, but Li Zhen and Li Yun also looked at Lu Wan up and down a few times, and their eyes also showed a bit of appreciation. Wang Xuance next to him was also very surprised.

, he also looked at Lu Wan a few more times, but he was also very interested in Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian.

"Hahaha~ Today is a day worth celebrating. I didn't expect that when I came to Tianzhu, I could not only meet the seventh and eighth brothers, but also the famous Captain Lu, which really made me very happy." Li Keda

He smiled and said, "Seventh brother. Why don't we hold a new banquet? Let's have a treat to Captain Lu. In addition, Xuan Ce, Fang Yi, Chang Qian and the other two should also get to know each other well."

"Not bad, I have heard of Captain Lu's name for a long time, but unfortunately I have never met. I didn't expect Captain Lu to come to the door today. This is really something worth celebrating!" Li Yun also smiled.

Then, at the command of Li Zhen, a banquet was arranged in the hall. A group of six people took a seat in the host and the host. Then Li Ke spoke first and introduced Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian to everyone. Then Li Zhen also introduced Wang Xuance to Li Ke and the other four.

Then, then

After three rounds of wine, everyone gradually became more and more talked. Whether it was Li Ke, Li Zhen, and Li Yun, they were all very interested in Lu Wan, especially when Lu Wan explored the route twice and found two

The legendary journey of the continent has become a story that the Tang Dynasty and all over Taiwan are talked about, so they want to hear the true story of Lu Wan’s experience today.

Lu Wan had encountered this situation countless times. Although he felt a little restrained when he first faced the three brothers of Li Ke, he had seen Li Yan more than once before, so he quickly got used to it.

He talked freely and told his experiences over the years. Although Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian had heard some of them before, they still listened with relish.

After Lu Wan finished talking about his return from America, he then talked about his establishment of a global ship. Then he explained his previous plan, and finally stood up and walked forward: "Caomin begs the two popes to come.

A letter to the country. So that the grass-roots fleet can get official help from the Eastern Roman Empire, so that they can be more confident in completing this route exploration!”

"Haha, Captain Lu, you are polite. Although my eighth brother and I are not strong at sea, we also know the significance of discovering a new route. Besides, if it were the sixth brother, we would definitely support it strongly, so naturally we didn't refuse.

The truth is, so wait a moment, and I will order someone to prepare a letter of nationality for you!" Li Yun responded immediately.

"Thank you Pope!" Although Lu Wan had known that Li Yun and Li Zhen would agree, he was relieved to hear the other party say it in person. With this letter of nationality, they should be able to keep open in the Mediterranean.

However, after hearing Lu Wan's plan, Li Ke showed a contemplative look on his face. After a while, he asked: "Captain Lu, your fleet will reach the Mediterranean Sea and then go west to the Atlantic Ocean. You probably think

How much time does it take to get to America?”

"This..." Lu Wan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "According to the calculation results of the Academy of Navigation, they concluded that the width of the Atlantic Ocean is less than half of that of the Pacific Ocean. Now that we cross the Pacific Ocean, at most, we only cross the Pacific Ocean.

It takes fifty days, so theoretically, it should take less than a month to cross the Atlantic Ocean. However, because we don't know much about the sea conditions of the Atlantic Ocean, this time will definitely be longer than in theory, but it won't be the longest.

For more than two months, with the performance of our ship, we are absolutely competent."

"Theoretically, it's less than a month, but in reality it may take two months. This time difference is too much, right?" Li Zhen asked in confusion.

Lu Wan replied with a wry smile: "Your Highness doesn't know that the speed of the ship is affected by many aspects, such as the performance of the ship and the quality of the crew, but there are actually only two most important factors, namely the wind direction and the ocean currents.

However, we know very little about the sea conditions of the Atlantic Ocean and do not know where to find a smooth route, so we can only try our luck. If we can find the best, if we can't find it, we can only choose a worse voyage.

, but the speed is not guaranteed, so although the Atlantic Ocean is narrower than the Pacific Ocean, if you want to cross it, it will likely take more time."

Speaking of this, Lu Wan paused for a moment, then said, "There are many other dangers, such as the Atlantic Ocean, which is actually the same as the Pacific Ocean. It is very likely to encounter a typhoon. If the fleet unfortunately encounters it

Then you can only leave it to fate. There are also unknown reefs under the sea, icebergs that may be encountered in the waters far away from the equator, etc. No matter which one you encounter, it may cause the entire fleet to be wiped out."

After listening to Lu Wan's last words, Li Ke and others were all silent. Although they all took a boat to leave the Central Plains, they all took very mature routes and rarely encountered any dangers. But now they listened to Lu.

Wan only realized after finishing his talk that he had to take such a big risk when opening a new route. It is no exaggeration to say that every time Lu Wan and his friends left the port, they were equivalent to handing over their lives to God, as long as God was unhappy.

, you can take their lives at any time.

"I have heard that the sea is unpredictable, especially in unknown seas, which can be said to be dangerous everywhere. I used to be a little suspicious, and I always felt that the sea looked so calm and produced various seafood, so I couldn't see it no matter how I looked.

It seems that there is any danger, but now after listening to Captain Lu's words, I realize that there are so many dangers hidden under the calm surface of the sea!" Li Ke also sighed at this time, but in his eyes

Deep in the air, there was a feeling of uneasiness in restlessness.

At the end of the banquet, Li Yun asked someone to send the letter of nationality prepared for Lu Wan, which made Li Ke highly praised their efficiency. Lu Wan was even more grateful and solemnly put the letter of nationality behind him.

Then he said goodbye.

However, when Lu Wan first left the palace, he was stopped by Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian. They asked Lu Wan where he lived and had time to leave. Finally, in his private name, he asked Lu Wan to gather before leaving.

Of course, I also wanted to make friends with these two high-ranking Kings of Wu, so I agreed immediately.

That night, Li Ke and his entourage were arranged by Li Yun and Li Zhen to rest in a side hall in the palace. However, when the moon was on the willows, Li Ke lay on the bed and couldn't sleep because he saw him today

Queen Lu Wan, a very bold idea also arose in his mind.

If Lu Wan's fleet wants to go to Eastern Rome, it must pass through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. On the west side of the Red Sea and the canal is the North Africa region with the highest degree of development on the African continent. After arriving at the Eastern Roman Empire, they still have to go to America.

This is also the place he will go next. So why don’t he walk with them? This will not delay his investigation of Africa and America, and can also experience the excitement and fun of exploring new routes.

As soon as this thought sprouted, it was like a thriving seed, taking root in Li Ke's heart, and quickly occupied Li Ke's entire mind. It could not be driven away no matter what. It was even so late.

I was still tossing and turning on the bed, without any sleepiness.

Finally, Li Ke simply sat up from the bed, walked to the bedroom window, looked up at the bright moon outside the window, and thought about his experiences over the years, and then compared Li Yan with him, which made him very

A sad discovery is that compared with his own brother, his achievements over the years are simply not worth mentioning.

As a brother, but his younger brother is better than him. This feeling is not good. Even with Li Ke's generous temperament, he cannot completely let go. That's why he wants to be like Li Yan, Li Zhen, and Li Yun.

He built a piece of land with his own efforts to prove that his brother is no worse than his younger brothers!

"If you want to achieve something, how can you need Liulang to arrange everything for me? Li Ke, Li Ke, now there is a chance that you can do what you want. How can you let it go in vain?"

Li Ke suddenly spoke to himself, and at the end of his speech, his face showed a bit of decisiveness, and he looked a bit like Li Shimin.

Under this moonlight, Li Ke finally made up his mind to no longer visit according to Li Yan's arrangements, but to go on the road with Lu Wan and his fleet according to his own ideas, although this may happen to the unknown

The danger, but for Li Ke, it was all worth it.

Moreover, he had the opportunity to go to the Eastern Roman Empire in person. Thinking of the ancient civilization that the ancient people called the Great Qin Dynasty, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little expectation in his heart.
