Chapter 397 Comparing Maps
"Returning to the nobleman, the villain came to the Tang Dynasty to do business, and he did not bring the map of the Great Food Kingdom!" Ariani Walter replied quickly.

In fact, according to Ariani Walter's status in the Great Food Kingdom, he couldn't get a map of the Great Food Kingdom at all.

"You came all the way to Datang to trade, how long does it take you to travel from Dashi to Datang?"

Li Chongyi asked again.

"Returning to the nobleman, the villain set off from the Dashi Kingdom with a lot of goods, and came to the Datang, at least two months!"

Ariani Voight replied.

"Two months? Even if you walk eighty miles a day, that's five thousand miles? How far is the Great Food Kingdom from the Great Tang?"

Now, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others could not help but subconsciously opened the map in their hands and began to study it carefully.

On the side, Ariani Walter, Wesson and the others were stunned, looking curiously at the map in the hands of Cheng Chusi and the others.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Cheng Chusi, who was looking at the map for a while, quickly raised his head and stared closely at Ariani Walter.

"You bird man, from Dashi to my Tang Dynasty, such a long distance, you have to go through Tuyuhun, Tubo Kingdom, and so many countries in the Western Regions on the way, if you don't have a map in your hand, how can you walk over? "

"Forgive me, my lord. The villain really doesn't have a map of the Great Food Kingdom. When I come to Datang from the Great Food Kingdom, I will trade with the kingdoms I pass by, and then draw maps along the way!"

Ariani Walter's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a panic.

At the same time, subconsciously looked to the side of Wesson.After these Hu merchants came to Datang, they would find a big force as their backer, otherwise they would not be able to leave Datang, and all the money and goods they brought would be robbed.

The Wei family, which is related to the royal family, is Ariani Walter's backstage in Chang'an City.

"Hmph, don't look at him, Yeye and the others want to kill you, even if the head of the Wei family comes, they can't stop them!"

Cheng Chusi snorted coldly, "Hurry up and give Jeyna all the maps of your Dashi Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Wei Sen's expression froze and his face was full of anger, but remembering what the Patriarch told him, these dudes are all idiots, even if they win the quarrel, they will lose, and maybe they will be beaten in vain.

"Return to your lord, the map we are waiting for is on the inn attendant."

Ariani Walter trembled and hurriedly replied.

"Hurry up and get it, I want to borrow it!" Cheng Chusi said.

"If you have any other maps, bring them together, yeah, there will be a lot of rewards!"

"Yes!"

Ariani Walter responded quickly, and walked out quickly.

"Li Si, take someone to escort this Hu merchant, go back quickly!"

On the side, Li Chongyi suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Ariani Walter paused, and quickly turned around to salute Li Chongyi.

Li Si in the room hurriedly cupped his hands to Li Chongyi, and followed.

"Treasurer Cui, go and call those Hu merchants on the third floor!"

Afterwards, Cheng Chusi said to the old shopkeeper again.

This time, the old shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, he quickly responded and walked out quickly.

Soon, the three merchants on the third floor were called up.

As soon as they entered the door, the three Hu merchants also looked bitter, and hurriedly bowed their hands to Cheng Chusi and others.

"The villain Aragorn, Marcie, Bohr and others have met some nobles!"

"Where did you all come from? Do you have a map on your body?"

This time, Cheng Chusi didn't delay and asked directly.

"Return to the nobleman, the villain is from Persia."

"The villain is from Sogdia."

"The villain is from Linyi."

Regarding Cheng Chusi's words, these three Hu merchants dare not hide anything.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have a map in your hand?"

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.
