Wu Tunhu nodded. Although this guy was from Jiangnan Wudi, he also had a passionate and chivalrous heart.
Especially what was said in the letter sent by Li Dexuan a few days ago: A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people.
It even made him gather a group of chivalrous brothers to have a hearty drunken party, as if he had finally found the ultimate goal of his life.
During these days, every brother devoted himself to the work of seeking information with full enthusiasm.
I went deep into every corner of Chang'an City where foreign merchants were present to inquire about all kinds of news and gossip about the south of Jiaozhi, and now I finally got results.
If this thing is presented to the court, and the court gets such a good treasure that can be cooked three times a year, it will definitely benefit countless people in the Tang Dynasty.
And they, a group of chivalrous men who have been in the world for many years and still have no reputation in the world, will definitely go down in history and be famous throughout the ages.
"That businessman, are you willing to guide us?" After being excited for a long time, Li Dejiao sat back and took a big gulp of wine.
"Don't worry, brothers have asked this merchant to stay for a few more days. I came here specially to report the good news to you, eldest brother."
"Just to see what we should do next, whether to send a few brothers ahead and follow the Cochin merchant south, or..."
Li Dejiang pondered for a while, picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine rippling in the glass and shook his head.
"...It's not appropriate. We are thousands of miles away from Lingnan, and the journey is difficult. If there is any eventuality, how can Li bear it?"
We, a dozen brothers, should advance and retreat together."
Wu Tunhu nodded, looking at the eldest brother who was the leader of their chivalrous gang and said.
"What the eldest brother said is, how about I go back and persuade the merchant to stay in Chang'an first, and then I can make plans after my brother can leave the Duke Wei's mansion."
When Li Dejiang thought about how many months he would be under the ban, he thought that he and others might be able to reach Linyi State in the south of Jiaozhi within a few months.
Although Li Dejiang was very afraid of being tutored in physics by his own father, when he thought of the words "A great hero serves the country and the people."
The blood was mixed with the wine, and he started to drink it directly. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and struck the case.
"No, it's not too late. For the sake of the people in the world, how can we delay such a major event..."
"Tell all brothers to prepare their luggage, mounts and weapons.
At noon five days later, wait for me at the old place ten miles away from Qixia Gate."
"Brother, will you offend your uncle by doing this?" Wu Tunhu said a little guiltily.
"What are you afraid of? What I am doing for my brother is not wanton and reckless behavior, but also for the country and the people. The most he can do is get angry.
As long as we get the rice seeds that can produce three crops in one year, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will regard us as heroes, and my father will understand."
"Wait a moment, I will write a letter, and you will send it to Duke Lu's Mansion for me today. Remember to hand it over to Cheng Sanlang in person."
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do it, little brother."

Hearing that Zhong Li De had sent someone to deliver the letter, Cheng Chubi was a little curious and a little happy.
A generation of knights who are determined to travel around the world are imprisoned in the mansion by the father of the military god and cannot leave. It must be said that this has a strong comedy effect.
Wu Tunhu, who was not very good at martial arts, was not tall, but had a strong body and a dark face, walked into Cheng Chubi's house under the guidance of Cheng Da.
Cheng Chubi took this passionate and high-spirited letter from Wu Tunhu's hand and looked at it carefully.
In the letter, he first expressed how much he was inspired by Cheng Chubi's famous saying.
The second step is to tell Cheng Chubi that he has found out that the country is in Linyi State south of Jiaozhi.
There really is the kind of rice that Cheng Chubi said can produce three crops of food in one year.
Therefore, he decided to personally lead his brothers to the land of Lingnan, hoping that Cheng Sanlang would wait for their good news.
These knights, who have wandered around the world and performed chivalrous acts for many years, are truly great chivalrous people who are willing to serve the country and the people.
Cheng Chubi read the letter in silence, feeling really helpless to complain.
It seems that this Virtue Award-winning brother’s life-long ambition includes not only his mother but also a group of brothers.
No one can understand him, so much so that even his peers, whom he has only met a few times, are regarded as confidants by him.
However, Cheng Chubi had to admit that people with such a tough personality were indeed more likely to succeed.
Cheng Chubi slowly put down the letter, and couldn't help but feel a little ache in his stomach. This guy really wanted to go to Linyi State, south of Jiaozhi, to get the treasure.
For Datang, this was indeed a good thing, but the problem was that the journey was difficult and dangerous, and he was unable to provide enough help.
Cheng Chubi thought about it, patted his thigh and made a decision. "Brother Wu, when are you going to leave Chang'an?"
"This..." Wu Tunhu didn't expect Cheng Chubi to ask such a private question, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Don't worry, I'm on the same team as your eldest brother, Brother De Jia, and we will definitely not leak any secrets.
I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Wu Tunhu gritted his teeth and saluted Cheng Chubi, the new noble man in the court, before speaking.
"Thank you, Cheng Taichang. Brother Li has given us orders to leave Chang'an in a few days."
"Well, that's okay, I'll just go back and go directly to find Brother Dejiao." Cheng Chubi nodded and asked Cheng Fa to send this man out.
Only then did he start to carefully calculate, and one of the things he could do to help was medical services.
One is my understanding of the environment in the Southwest. Of course, the environment in the Southwest in later generations was much better than it is today.
So what he can do... Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly summoned Cheng Guang, Cheng Liang and the other six people to give instructions.
"Go, buy me mugwort leaves in large quantities. If they are not for sale now, you can go and pick them yourself. I will be of great use."
In addition to asking them to purchase plants that can repel mosquitoes, make essential oils, and then process them into mosquito repellents.
Cheng Chubi began to prepare first aid kits himself, which was probably where Cheng Chubi could help.
He also dug out the "First Aid Manual" that he had prepared for Cheng Liang and others who were accompanying the army on the Tuyuhun expedition.
Cheng Ji, the master distiller of essential oils, has started a new journey of distilling essential oils since the spring of this year.
This year, Cheng Chubi bought two more sets of distillation equipment. The three sets of distillation equipment work together, greatly increasing efficiency.
As for the prepared essential oils, they will be sealed in dark Western glass bottles and transferred to the underground kiln dug in Cheng Chubi's yard.
In order to prevent the three younger brothers from misbehaving, Cheng Chubi even placed the entrance of the underground kiln in his bedroom.
Not only is an astonishing amount of essential oil stored there, but there is also strong acid produced in order to provide Chai Shao, the old driver, with quick-acting heart-saving pills.
It is also carefully stored in this hidden and safe cellar.
