Cheng Chusi directly looked impatient, and stared at the three Hu merchants closely, making the three of them tremble.

Before coming up, the old shopkeeper Cui also warned and threatened the three of them. No matter how noble the nobles are, how bad their personalities are, they can answer whatever they ask, and they will be beheaded if they don't serve well.

Therefore, after seeing Cheng Chusi faintly angry, he didn't even dare to keep his most important trade route map privately.

"Back to your lord, we only have a map of our hometown and Tang Dynasty in our hands!"

"Bring it quickly!"

Cheng Chusi immediately said with joy on his face.

Let the three Hu merchants feel relieved, their lives should be saved.

"Returning to your lord, the map is for our business and is very precious to us, so it is kept in the inn and kept by our cronies for safekeeping."

"Hurry up and bring it to me!"

Cheng Chusi stared again and said loudly. "Don't worry, this is the map, I just borrowed it for a while, and I will return it to you when I use it up."

"Please Xiao Lang wait a moment, I'll go to the inn to get the map!"

The three Hu merchants were overjoyed, as long as they could catch up with Cheng Chusi and these little nobles, let alone borrow a map, even if they offered half of their goods, they would be willing.

"If you have maps of other countries, you can also bring them!"

Seeing the eagerness of the three Hu merchants, Cheng Chusi hastily added.

"Yes Yes……"

After that, the three of them ran out.

Afterwards, Wesson was left alone in the house.

Facing Cheng Chusi and the others, Wei Sen looked embarrassed and regretted in his heart, he would have left with Ariani if ​​he had known.

But Cheng Chusi and others turned a blind eye to Wei Sen.

It's just that the Wei family is in charge, even if it is the Wang family's steward, they can kill their confidantes in front of their face.

Fortunately, Ariani Voight returned soon.

In his hand, he was holding a piece of yellowed leather paper.

After stretching it on the table, a simple map from Datang to Dashi appeared in front of Cheng Chusi and the others.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi's eyes lit up.

Immediately, they took it and compared it with the map they brought with them.

Starting from Chang'an and going westward, it is the West Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Dashi, all of which can be matched.

In the middle, there are more than a dozen small countries, none of which are shown in the blueprints drawn by these masters.

However, it is enough to prove that the map drawn by the Master is correct.

"Hurry up, Li Chongyi, draw another one according to this one, and I will fill in this piece on the Master's map!"

Cheng Chusi said excitedly.

On the side, Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian and others also had joyful expressions on their faces.

They took out pens from their pockets and began to draw carefully.

Seeing this, Wesson, shopkeeper Cui, and Ariani Walter and other merchants were taken aback for a moment, and then they couldn't help being curious, and then began to look seriously at the maps in the hands of Cheng Chusi and others.

Ok?

Suddenly, several people's eyes widened.

"Several young men, there is no place the size of a palm in this area, but our Datang?"

"Isn't that written with the words Datang?"

Cheng Chusi replied angrily.

On the other side, Li Chongyi and the others glared fiercely at Shopkeeper Cui, Wei Sen and the others.

They are most annoyed by this kind of people who disturb them indiscriminately!

However, at this moment, shopkeeper Cui, Wesson and the others only had eyes on the maps on the table, and did not notice their expressions.

He kept looking at the table, and the more he looked, the more shocked he looked.

On that map, Datang didn't even occupy [-]% of it.Even the Great Food Kingdom has a land area that is as large as the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, outside of Datang, there is a wider land.

……

Chapter 397

In this way, what His Majesty said a few days ago that you can let the big families go to fight against the vassal states outside the Tang Dynasty is also because of this?

Thinking about it, Wesson and Shopkeeper Cui looked thoughtful and thoughtful.

Soon, the three Hu merchants also came back in a hurry, each carrying a map.

As long as they can catch up with these little nobles in Chang'an City, they will no longer have to worry about it in the future.

Therefore, in order to satisfy Cheng Chusi and others, these three Hu merchants took their own trading road maps from Persia to Datang, or from Sogdia to Datang, and from Linyi to Datang, and they were The most detailed and complete one.

This made Cheng Chusi very satisfied just by looking at it.

As for the map, although it has been greatly worn out, these merchants are very familiar with the countries along the way on this paper.

Therefore, if there is something that they don't understand, Cheng Chusi and the others will catch these Hu merchants and ask them carefully.

Finally, feeling that there was no more useful information to be squeezed out from these Hu merchants, Cheng Chusi and the others put away the map in their hands with joy on their faces.

"You have merit for offering pictures. If you encounter any difficulties in Chang'an City, especially if there are any bullies who dare to bully you, you can come to this teahouse and look for the old shopkeeper. I will wait for you once!"

Cheng Chusi said to Ariani Walter and the Hu merchants with great satisfaction.

Since the maps of these Hu merchants are used, they will accept the feelings of these Hu merchants.

Gratitude must be repaid, and revenge must be repaid!

Although they are big dudes in Chang'an City, they still have basic morals.

Hearing Cheng Chusi's words, the four bearded Hu merchants immediately burst into tears, and bowed down to Cheng Chusi and the others with joy on their faces.

"Thank you, sir!"

If there were these nobles, they would at least have saved one more life in Chang'an City.

Afterwards, Ariani Walter turned his eyes and said quickly again: "I don't know which country the nobles want to attack, we can help guide the way!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help being surprised.

"Who wants to attack those small barbarian countries?"

"Which nobles recorded the routes of these countries in such detail?"

Ariani Walter and the others looked puzzled.

With such a detailed map, ordinary people would not waste so much effort to draw it, unless they want to attack some country!

At the same time, Wei Sen and Cui shopkeeper, who were on the side, were also shocked, and their faces suddenly realized.

As His Majesty said, various families can attack those small countries at will, and it doesn't necessarily have to be their big families.

Su Guogong and Wei Guogong, these important officials in the court, also have their own families behind them. The trilogy in the hands of these dukes is combined with the families behind them, and they are also an army that can destroy the country.

Thinking about it, he quickly looked at the maps on the table again. Although he couldn't take them away, he must remember that it must be a great achievement to go back and dedicate them to the Patriarch.

"Stop thinking about it, we don't have the time to attack these barbarian countries!"

Cheng Chusi snorted coldly and began to chase people away.

"If you have nothing to do, then go away, yeah, there are other things!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, several Hu merchants hurriedly resigned.

And Wesson also left quickly.

"Old shopkeeper, go and call those Hu merchants on the second floor to me!"

Afterwards, Cheng Chusi once again asked the old shopkeeper to call up all the Hu merchants in the teahouse, and asked them one by one. Suddenly, more than ten countries were added to the map.

It was not until it was confirmed that all Hu merchants from different countries in Chang'an City were questioned one by one, that Cheng Chusi and others returned to Lijiazhuang with satisfaction.

"Master, it's my shallow knowledge. I didn't expect that there is such a large territory outside of Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as they entered the main room, Cheng Chusi and others presented their perfected map to Li Xuan with joyful expressions like presenting treasures.

"You don't need to admit it, my master knows it!"

Li Xuan glanced at it, and said helplessly, "I don't know that these little bastards just drew a map, how come they act like they are attacking a barbarian country?"

"hey-hey……"

Being despised by Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and the others didn't mind, they still kept smiling.

Perhaps Li Xuan didn't realize the importance of this map to Datang.

However, they, who were born in a family of martial arts, know that as long as they dedicate this map to His Majesty, they will definitely be rewarded with great rewards.

"I didn't expect that there are so many Hu merchants in West Market, even Persia and Dashi!"

Looking down at the map, Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Master, I don't know, but the West Market is the place with the most Hu merchants in Chang'an City. Hu merchants from various barbarian countries will go to the West Market to trade when they come to Chang'an City!" Cheng Chusi said.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan responded with satisfaction, and began to draw his big map.

"Master?"

On the side, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others all looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"Why are you still here? What else?"

Li Xuan seemed to be aware of it, looked up at the few people, and said with disgust on his face.

"Master, can I show this map to Aye?"

Cheng Chusi said with a slightly awkward expression.

"Your painting, you can show it to whoever you want!"

Li Xuan said indifferently, "However, you have been able to find so many national routes for my master, and finally did a personnel matter. After a while, you can find the housekeeper, and each of you will bring a bottle of liquor back home."

"Thank you, Master!"

Cheng Chusi and the others were overjoyed.

"get out!"

Li Xuan waved his hands in disgust.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi and others hurriedly bowed their hands to Li Xuan, and then ran out with joy on their faces.

After finding Li Chang, each of them took a bottle of white wine and headed for Chang'an City.

……

On the Hejian County King's Mansion.

Li Chongyi carried the liquor in one hand and the map in the other, and entered the gate, just about to bypass the main hall and sneak towards his side courtyard.

However, before he took two steps, he felt a chill in the back of his head.

I couldn't help but subconsciously turned my head to look, and suddenly my hairs stood on end, and my face was full of horror.

"Ah! Aye..."

"Nie Yi, what did you do to your heart? So panicked?"

Li Xiaogong grinned and stood behind Li Chongyi with a sneer on his face.

"Aye, why are you here? The child clearly saw no one."
