Along the way, they traveled through the central region of Europe, which was full of war and hustle and bustle.
There are all kinds of messy countries everywhere, and even a small town can be regarded as a country.
Fortunately, the power of Eastern Rome still kept all the forces in the chaotic central Europe in awe.
Moreover, those small gifts from the East also won the friendship of those forces.
Finally, they arrived at the Frankish Kingdom in the west of Europe without any danger.
"Master Li, in a few days, we will arrive at the capital of the Frankish Kingdom. I don't know what gift you need this time..."
"Well, it's still those things, that is, the vegetables, fruits, and grain seeds that are special to the Frankish Kingdom."
"As for what other good things there are, let's wait until we see them."
"Of course there is no problem. By the way, Mr. Li, could you please teach me two more songs? You know, if I learn a few more tricks, I will be able to please the King of Frank..."
Li Dejiang turned his head and looked at Conti, who was smiling obscenely, and almost burst into laughter...
You old boy, you are not trying to please the Frank King. You are clearly trying to please those barbarian girls who are too open-minded.
Li Dejiang waved his hand angrily. "Okay, I'll teach you later. It's important to hurry up."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Conti couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that Li Dejiang always promised a lot of money. He nodded repeatedly, turned around and shouted to speed up the team.
Having said that, Cheng's pipa is actually also deeply loved by these Western barbarians.
Fortunately, when I came here this time, I brought several handfuls and presented one to the Eastern Roman Emperor. As a result, they left Constantinople and continued their journey westward.
In the imperial palace of Eastern Rome, musicians had already begun to play with this thing, conscientiously practicing Cheng's pipa's classic etude "Little Star".
There are even some passionate and unrestrained Hu girls whose eyes are like blood-sucking mosquitoes when they play Cheng's pipa, which makes their scalp numb.
When Li Dejiang thought about those Hu girls who had a strong smell of semen, he couldn't help but miss his beloved wife and children at home, as well as his biological father and mother.
I don’t know how they are doing now. I really want to rush back to reunite with them as soon as possible so that I can tell them about my magical experience over the past year.
Counting it in detail, the number of countries he passed through from the Tang Dynasty to the Frankish Kingdom could be dozens if not a hundred.
It was really an eye-opener for people to see the customs that were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty, and to taste a variety of foods that were completely different from those of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, brothers Li Dejiao and Yiqian, who are used to tasting the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, feel that the food they have eaten along the way cannot be described in many words other than filling their stomachs.
This made Li Dejiao, a passionate ranger, start to cool down a little after being away from home for more than a year.
But when he thought about the intelligence and information he had acquired on his way west, as well as the various seeds he had collected.
What he saw and heard along the way made Li Dejiang feel that his trip was worthwhile.
After arriving at the royal capital of Frank, we had a nice walk, and I heard that there was a huge island to the west of Frank.
Well, whether to go or not, we will wait until we get to the Frankish capital and see what the brothers think.
I don’t know if Constantine III promised to help him and others pass the news back to the Tang Dynasty. Did he pass it back?
But it doesn't matter even if it's not sent back. If you don't wander around blindly on the way back and travel all the way quickly, you can return to Datang in at least half a year.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Brother Chubi will definitely be overjoyed with the good things in his hands.

Cheng Sanlang had no idea what was happening in the far west.
On the contrary, it was after letting Uncle Li and his family enjoy the night view of the Palace of All Nations that night.
Uncle Li gave himself a task, that is, it is best to speed up, try his best, and overcome all difficulties, regardless of the cost.
Well, that's probably what it means anyway, to build the Palace of All Nations as soon as possible.
At least we must ensure that the Supreme Emperor can safely move into the Wan Guo Yuan Palace before autumn.
Regarding Uncle Li's request, Cheng Sanlang naturally did not dare to violate it. He patted his chest with Li Ke and said that he would try to complete the task in the shortest possible time.
However, although the progress of the Wanguoyuan Palace must be accelerated, it does not mean that there is no need to work in other directions.
Uncle Li has given permission for the Han and Tang dynasties to start the repair and reconstruction work in the southern area of ​​Luoyang.
In exchange, the Luonan area and the southernmost markets, which were like ruins and completely uninhabited, with only bones and broken walls and rafters, were handed over to the Han and Tang dynasties.
#####
Because the Tang Dynasty had previously established its capital in Chang'an, the repair work on Luoyang City had been intermittent."
Nowadays, the population of Luoyang is mainly concentrated on both sides of the Luo River, and the repairs in the area near the river in the south of Luoyang have been completed over the years.
But after passing Nanshi and continuing southward, after passing Jiashan Square and Taohua Square, the original appearance of Twenty-Six Square in the south cannot be seen at all.
The originally tall square walls almost completely collapsed, and almost all the useful materials from the buildings inside had been transported away and became materials for the people and Luoyang officials to repair the inhabited square market.
Looking at this place, which is overgrown with weeds like a countryside, and occasionally seeing dilapidated ruins, Cheng Sanlang felt that he had gone to the real filming location of "A Chinese Ghost Story" today.
Li Ke's expression looked very ugly at this moment. He had never been here before. After all, there was no human habitation here, and it was in a mess.
His majestic prince has no interest in playing thrilling adventure games. If he has time, he might as well go to Sigongfang to seek warmth from a young lady with beautiful features and beautiful clothes.
Where does this come from? There are even wild animals roaming around, and from time to time you can even find pale bones wandering around in this broken place.
"Brother Chu Bi, just cleaning up these ruins and debris will probably take a lot of time, manpower, and material resources, right?"
Cheng Sanlang stood on top of the mostly collapsed square wall, with his hands on his waist, looking at the large ruins with high spirits.
Not to mention a ruin, even a mountain, Cheng Sanlang felt that it was in order to promote the prosperity of the real estate industry in the Tang Dynasty.
For the diversification, internationalization and standardization of the future capital of the Tang Dynasty, believe it or not, he dared to be a foolish old man who could move mountains.
