"Two little brothers, please sit down!" At this time, Lu Wan also found that the entire second floor was full, and he had a good impression of Wang Fangyi and the two, so he stretched out his hand to invite them to sit down.

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian immediately thanked Lu Wan, then sat down to order food, and then Cen Changqian smiled at Lu Wan: "May I ask what your name is, sir? From the appearance of the gentleman, he should be a person who has been on the boat all year round, right?"

The clothes Lu Wan wore were similar to Hufu, the top and bottom were separated, and the collar and cuffs were relatively small, which made it easier to move around on the ship. At first, this kind of clothes were only worn on the ship, but later Li Min’s navy uniform also adopted it. That's why this style became popular. Many sailors wear it not only on board, but also when they go ashore. Some young people who are not sailors even find this kind of clothes convenient and start to wear them on a daily basis. However, depending on Lu Wan's age and demeanor , must be a person who runs a boat all the year round.

Lu Wan was not surprised at all when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said: "My surname is Lu, and I am indeed seeking a living at sea. This time I happened to be in Tianzhu to do some business, but I don't know the names of the two young brothers, but when I came to Tianzhu Are you a traveling student?"

Needless to say, Cen Changqian, one can tell that he is a scholar at a glance, and although Wang Fangyi is more like a warrior, his words and deeds are very well-educated. out.Moreover, with the spread of newspapers and other media in the past few years, Confucian students from all over the Tang Dynasty have also opened their horizons, and they have traveled overseas together to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge. That's why Lu Wancai misunderstood Wang Fangyi and the others as traveling students.Capital Datang 630

Wang Fangyi and Wang Fangyi looked at each other after hearing this. Their itinerary this time was very secret, and even Li Zhen and Li Yun didn't know about it beforehand, so it was hard for them to reveal their identities, so they nodded immediately and said: "Mr. Lu guessed." That's right, we are indeed students of Chang'an, and we will go out for a trip this time. Then we will prepare for the scientific examination."

After hearing this, Lu Wan was also very interested. Although he was born as a pirate, he is known as a gentleman among pirates, because he liked to read since he was a child, and even from the bottom of his heart, he always thought that he was a half-educated man. , so when I saw Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian, I felt very cordial.

At that moment, Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian briefly introduced their names. Anyway, they are not very famous now, so there is no need to worry about Lu Wan knowing them.In addition, they are also very interested in life at sea.At that moment, Wang Fangyi asked: "Mr. Lu lives in the sea, so he must have been to many places. I wonder if I can tell the late students. If Brother Wang and I go to travel to those places in the future, we should be prepared."

Lu Wan just felt that drinking alone was boring, and now he was very happy to meet Wang Fangyi and Wang Fangyi, and he was also a talkative person.Therefore, he told about some of the places he had visited in his sailing career, especially the customs and customs of various places. Lu Wan can be said to be familiar with it, and Wang Fangyi and Wang Fangyi were fascinated by it.

Just as they were talking happily, the food ordered by Wang Fangyi and the two of them also came out, and the three of them simply put the food and wine together.Everyone eats and chats.Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian will accompany Li Ke to Africa and America next, so they are most interested in these two continents, so in the next time.The questions they asked Lu Wan were also about these two continents.

For America, Lu Wan naturally has the right to speak more than anyone else, but he did not tell the story of his exploration of the American route, otherwise it would appear to be showing off.As for Africa, Lu Wan has never been to it.But he has many friends in the Slave Catching Association, from their mouths.It was easy for Lu Wan to obtain information about various aspects of Africa, and now that he is telling it, it is enough to make Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian amazed.

Just when the three of them were eating and chatting, and felt that they were close friends, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and then the three of them went up to the second floor, one in front and two in the back. An attendant, and behind them are two big men in plain clothes. These two big men looked around on the second floor, and when they saw Wang Fangyi sitting with Lu Wan, they were immediately overjoyed.

I saw two plainclothes men and the palace attendant in front whispered a few words, and the attendant was also relieved, and immediately stepped forward and said to Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian: "You two gentlemen, by the order of the Pope, I invite you two Enter the palace, that one is also waiting for the two gentlemen in the palace!"

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian did not expect that Li Zhen and Li Yun would call them into the palace, but they also knew that His Highness King Wu must have mentioned them in front of his two younger brothers, so they sent this royal palace attendant and two guards of His Highness Wu Wang come to them.

Lu Wan didn't expect that the two young people he had just met would be personally summoned by Li Zhen and Li Yun. It seemed that he had misjudged himself. The identities and backgrounds of these two young people were definitely not simple.

"Mr. Lu, we have something to do and we need to go to the palace. If there is a chance, we will have a drink and chat in the future!" Wang Fangyi and Wang Fangyi stood up and said, before turning around and leaving.

But at this moment, Lu Wan stood up to stop them and said, "Two brothers, please stay!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Lu, what else do you want to say?" Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian asked with some doubts.

I saw Lu Wan stepping forward and said: "Here, Lu Wan, in fact, this time I came to Zhongjing, and I just wanted to see the two popes, but unfortunately they were blocked outside the palace gate today. Now the two brothers are going to enter the palace, can you On behalf of my brother, report to the two popes?"

Hearing the name Lu Wan, Wang Fangyi's eyes lit up sharply, and he asked eagerly, "Mr. Lu, are you the Captain Lu who led the exploration fleet and discovered Australia and America?"

"Hehe, that's right, it's Lu!" Lu Wan also said with a smile.Since he discovered Australia and America, the name Lu Wan has become a frequent visitor in newspapers, and newspapers often approach him for interviews, so Lu Wan is well-known in Datang and Taiwan, and Wang Fangyi can recognize him at once. As expected.

"Haha, that's great. I didn't expect Brother Wang and I to be lucky enough to meet Captain Lu, and we had a good chat. It's actually a great honor. But since Captain Lu wants to meet the two popes, why not come to the palace with us?" That is, I can introduce our lord to you at that time!" Cen Changqian also said very excitedly.Li Ke is about to start his own business overseas. An outstanding sailing talent like Lu Wan is very rare, and he must also want to make friends with him very much.

Lu Wan was also a little surprised when he heard this, and when he was about to ask who Cen Changqian was talking about, Wang Fangyi found that other people on the second floor were already paying attention to the three of them. Ke's name was mentioned, so he winked at Cen Changqian and Lu Wan, and then a group of people went down the restaurant. There was already a palace carriage waiting for them outside the restaurant.

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian pulled Lu Wan into the carriage, and then ordered the servants of the palace to lead the way. At this moment, Wang Fangyi said to Lu Wan: "To tell the truth, Mr. Lu, our master is His Royal Highness Wu Wang, who came to Tianzhu secretly this time. , and is now talking about brotherhood with the two popes in the palace." Capital Datang 630

"His Royal Highness King Wu!" Lu Wan was also very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Ke to be here, let alone the two young people he met by accident. They turned out to be Li Ke's subordinates. Being able to be summoned into the palace alone must be very trusted by Li Ke.

"Mr. Lu, I don't know that you are asking to see the two popes, but what is the important matter?" After the excitement, Cen Changqian asked again.

It was only at this time that Lu Wan realized that he was excited to see Li Ke, so he immediately talked about his plan to go from the Mediterranean to the other side of the Americas, and also told him that he needed Li Zhen. He also told about the signing of the letter of credence with Li Yun, but Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian were both shocked and excited when they heard it. They didn't expect that Lu Wan had such a big plan, and they could meet by chance.

"By the way, I don't know how sure Captain Lu is of this voyage, and how long it will take to come back?" Cen Changqian asked very curiously.He is just 20 years old. Although he is very talented, he is at the most passionate age of young people. Coupled with some reports in the newspapers, he is very yearning for sailing. I really want to go out to sea in a boat.

Hearing Cen Changqian's words, Lu Wan smiled slightly and said, "The situation at sea is changing, and no one dares to say that there is [-]% certainty. However, according to the world map provided by His Royal Highness King Qi, when you go out of the Mediterranean Sea to the west, you will find the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean is much smaller than the Pacific Ocean, and its width is even less than half of the Pacific Ocean, so as long as you choose the season to go to sea, you should be more than [-]% sure to reach the other side of America!"

Hearing Lu Wan's confidence, even the calm Wang Fangyi's eyes lit up. If not for his duty, he would really like to experience the excitement of exploring unknown routes. Unfortunately, they have important things to do this time, so they can only follow Li Ke. Travel around Africa and then return to Taiwan. If you want to go to the Americas, it is safe to take the fixed route in the Pacific Ocean.

Knowing Lu Wan's identity, Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian seemed even more enthusiastic. Now they asked about Lu Wan's exploration of the route between Australia and America. The difficulties they encountered while exploring the Americas made Wang Fangyi's heart skip a beat even more.

While the three were talking, their carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace. According to the rules, carriages were not allowed inside, so the three had to get out of the carriage and walk. When they reached the gate of the main hall, the person who was looking for them The attendants had just entered the palace to report, but when Li Ke and the three heard that Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian had brought one person into the palace, they were also very surprised, and immediately ordered someone to let the three of them enter the palace.
