"Call a few interpreters!"

Like being chased by a dog again in the noisy suona drum music through the music house back to the hotel, Li Shun hurriedly asked a group of interpreters to call, and only after waiting for everyone to arrive did he close the door of his room, and ordered the forbidden army to guard and not let anyone in.

"Master Li, what happened?" Several interpreters were frightened by Li Shun's repeated actions.

"What are you going to see on these two sheepskins?" Li Shun took out two sheepskins from his pocket, which Princess Fangcai had given him.

"Master Li, this is a map!" The parchment map was laid out, and an interpreter looked at it and said in the affirmative.

"This official also knows that it is a map, I am asking where this map is, what is written on it, the important thing is here......" Li Shun pointed to the place that the woman pointed to.

A resting merchant took the sheepskin map and looked it upside down several times, and then said with certainty: "My lord, this place is Seleucia, the capital of the former Seleucid Empire, also known as the city of Susa......"

After the words of the resting merchant were translated by several interpreters, Li Shun roughly understood, so he pointed to the second sheepskin written on it that the woman gave him, and said, "Translate the above words!" ”

So a few interpreters began to watch the discussion around the sheepskin, especially the two merchants who rested with each other, and after arguing with each other for a few words, they reached an agreement to read out the contents of the sheepskin, and the content was translated by several Hu merchants from Dawan and the Western Regions into a broken Central Plains dialect.

After listening to the contents, Li Shun sat on the chair with his mouth wide open and sat for a long time, and then drove a group of interpreters out of the room, and ordered the forbidden army to take care of them carefully, and no one was allowed to leave the hotel.

He was mistaken, the beautiful princess Althea did not take a fancy to him, but hoped to ask the emperor of Great Qin to send troops to help her recapture her homeland of Susa, and if possible, kill Antiochus III to avenge her father......

"Someone, get the world map!" After sitting for a long time, Li Shun instructed the accompanying officials to fetch the world map he carried.

Although Chen Xu's world map is not very detailed, at least the approximate location of the land and sea is correct, and the location of the junction of the Asian, African and European continents in the Middle East is also clearly marked.

Comparing the map, Li Shun slowly searched for the sheepskin map in his hand, and finally roughly confirmed the location of the country of Susa, which was in the southwest of the Rest Empire, near the northernmost tip of the Persian Gulf.

This country called Susa looks small, but there is only a strange place name called Babylon near Chen Xu's world map, and there is no word Susa.

That is to say, this is a very small country, when Chen Xu taught him to look at the map when he first set off, he said that there are hundreds of large and small countries in the West, a city is a country, and the names marked are only a few of the largest countries, as for the rest of Chen Xu himself is completely unclear, he can only let Li Shun and others inquire all the way on the road to collect intelligence, as far as possible to complete the world map, and when it comes to rest, the world map has been carefully relabeled with place names only one-tenth, Most of the place is still blank.

After some research, Li Shun put away the map and two sheepskins, and then instructed the mission personnel to start packing up and preparing to leave.

In any case, this is a very dangerous move.

Once the secret agents of the Anxi Empire find out that the princess and the people of the Great Qin Mission secretly met and passed on the secret letter to kill the emperor, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the group, so Li Shun also felt that he should not covet women today to secretly meet this princess and cause this big trouble.

At Li Shun's urging, after a day, all the salutes were packed, the seeds of melons, fruits and vegetables collected, as well as the dried meat, grain, and drinking water purchased for eating and drinking on the road, were all bundled, plus the three thousand gold coins arranged by Antiochus III and the gifts given by some princes and nobles were also packed, and the entire mission was full of thirty camels, which was as eye-catching as a huge caravan.

On the third day, Li Shun formally submitted his resignation to Antiochus III, who led a group of nobles and ministers escorted by hundreds of soldiers to personally send Li Shun and others out of the capital, and once again reiterated his arrangements and positions, he would definitely send envoys and caravans before the summer came, and he would arrive in Daqin before the summer next year at the latest, and jointly build a good friendship between Daqin and Anxi.

Regarding Antiochus III's attitude, Li Shun naturally said that after returning to Great Qin, he would definitely bring Antiochus III's words to the First Emperor, and at the same time, he would eagerly look forward to the arrival of envoys and caravans in Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin.

After a simple farewell ceremony, Li Shun and the others rode on horses and camels, unfurled the banners of Daqin and the mission, and ran as fast as dogs.

A puff of smoke and dust had risen, and the envoy had already left Apamea for seven or eight miles.

If you're not happy, you can't do it, and Conspiring with Antioch's wife to kill her husband is not a letter, even if you think about it, you will feel the urge to lose your head.

"Messenger, wait~~"

Just when the mission left the capital for more than ten miles, Li Shun breathed a sigh of relief and let the envoy team slow down slowly, suddenly a team of camels carrying goods came from the direction of Wangcheng, and a tall man wearing a felt hat sat on the first camel, still calling loudly while chasing.

it, could it be that Antioch found out?

Li Shun's face turned pale, he reached out and felt a grenade from behind his buttocks, and asked nervously, "What is he shouting?" ”

"Master Li, this person has something to ask for your help!" A group of interpreters who followed the side came out and spoke.

"Yu~~" As soon as Li Shun took the reins, the entire mission team slowly stopped, and soon the camel team followed.

"Ask them something?" Li Shun still clutched the grenade and looked at the pack team with vigilance.

Soon a few interpreters came forward and reported after some inquiry, this caravan was originally from Daxia, and he had been going back and forth between Daxia and Anxito for many years, and a month ago he also trafficked a porcelain bowl from Daqin to the capital Apamaia, because he was afraid that the gold would be robbed by robbers on the road, so he had stayed here, and learned that Daqin's mission had returned today, and wanted to go back with him, and at the same time, in order to get the protection of the mission, he was willing to pay the price of ten gold coins.

Li Shun looked the caravan up and down, there were more than a dozen sturdy camels, more than a dozen people accompanying them, and there were indeed a lot of goods tied to the camels, most of them were Persian blankets, as well as wooden boxes and water bladders, everything looked the same as ordinary caravans.

"Let them come along!"

Li Shun slowly relaxed his vigilance, put away the grenade, and nodded.

This kind of thing has been encountered many times on the way here, and many caravans are willing to travel together to ensure the safety of the road, especially the mighty and strict forbidden army of Daqin, which is well-equipped to resist the attacks of large beasts and hundreds of robbers, and is completely the best choice for home travel to go out to protect the aura, and spending money to avoid disasters is the favorite thing of all merchants.

What's more, the price of ten gold coins is not small, and you can buy more than ten pieces of silk when you return to Daqin.

The leader of this Great Xia caravan is named Bagira, tall and strong, with a very long scimitar hanging from his waist, and the other ten or so retinues are also dressed similarly, walking in the arid desert all the year round, with rough and dark skin, and the body is relatively strong, and there are several women in the team with hats and black veils, according to Bagjira, he bought several female slaves in Apamaya and prepared to bring them back to Great Xia.

Li Shun didn't study Bagjira's words too much, anyway, it was a stop, not to mention that Bagjira has been going back and forth between Daxia and Rest all year round, and he is more familiar with the situation on the way, and on the way, he can also help find a place to stay, rest, replenish food and drink, and it is also mutually beneficial to take what they need.
