The order went down, and the boat continued to transport supplies and personnel, and the soldiers who had rested first had already set off towards their destination.

After arriving, after checking it, there was no problem, some people cut down trees, set up camp, and some people looked around for water, everything was so orderly.

For three days in a row, everyone just probed nearby, and found no people within a radius of ten miles, so they didn't continue to search, just cultivated, after all, there was no landing for four consecutive months, everyone had different problems, and fresh water and charcoal needed to be replenished.

Three days later, more than 3,000 people, except for a few people, were resurrected with full blood, cutting down trees and burning charcoal, and carrying fresh water, which was not a small task, and the ship was huge, which meant that there were many supplies needed, and the ship set off with full load, at least enough for the crew for half a year.

If the food is saved, it can be longer, and the sea can also replenish a part of the fish, and the fresh water, the island can be replenished, and a part of it can be replenished on rainy days, only coal, although a lot is prepared, and there is a boat to spare, but out of the Central Plains, there is basically no replenishment, so it must be made on the shore to make charcoal, try to save.

Five days later, Expedition 1 through 5 set sail again, but this time along the coastline, looking for people, or the nearest city.

After another three days, they finally found a populated city and a small city, and found out that this was a place called the kingdom of Ptolemy, which was being attacked by the Romans in the east of them.

Interrogated. It took a long time to study the map before I was able to determine the location, and now it should be in Africa. It should have deviated from the course and then ran ahead of Africa.

And Rome, Liu Renliang knew that it was Daqin, and under Feng Daiwen's explanation, he also knew that it was a place no smaller than Datang.

Li Chongyi changed into envoy clothes, played a guard of honor, and went to visit the small city, and the city lord of Yimo was very happy to learn that they were from the far east, the origin of silk.

Not only did he warmly receive Li Chongyi, but he also decided to personally send them to Tunis, the capital of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

It's just that when he went to meet Liu Renliang, he was stunned by the huge steel warship, which was completely beyond his imagination, lying across the sea like a steel giant beast, silently telling its force.

Liu Renliang also received them warmly, there were accompanying merchants on the ship as interpreters, and Yimo was given ten pieces of silk and 100 pieces of porcelain, which seemed very happy and satisfied, not only allowing Liu Renliang and others to enter the city at will, but also helping to buy food and other materials.

Then Li Chongyi took 800 guards as messengers and went to pressure the big city with gifts, but Yi Mo was afraid that others would not be able to tell clearly, so he personally took the only 300 guards in the small city to escort them.

As for Xiaocheng, he was not worried at all, if Liu Renliang and the others needed it, they would have attacked it a long time ago, but he had seen the Tang Dynasty warriors who were full of steel knives and armor.

Compared to his poorly equipped and leather-clad soldiers, who did not think they could withstand an attack, and were able to make ships out of steel, one can imagine how rich they were.

For the legendary country of silk, it is known for a long time, it is said to be a golden land, the trees are wrapped with silk, even the slaves are made of fine porcelain, he is just a small city lord, if he can act as an agent for some goods in the future, he can make the family rich, and it is not a very easy thing to recruit warriors when he has money.

Recalling Li Chongyi's promise, as long as the wharf is built, in the future, when the Tang merchant ships come, they will let him act as agents for some porcelain, silk, tea, and the honey-like frosted sugar, thinking of these, Yi Mo couldn't help but grin.

All the way forward, Li Chongyi didn't see a big city, but there were a lot of castles, but for the Tang Dynasty team, which was obviously an elite team, these castle owners didn't dare to let them in, but after hearing that it was the envoy of the Silk Country, he sent someone to send some supplies.

And Li Chongyi is not ambiguous, they have given gifts, whether it is tea, or frosted sugar, this is the latest product, the new goods that have only come out in recent years, these small castle owners, have not been obtained, after tasting, they are all very happy, thinking that this is the best gift, not inferior to silk things.

Many people asked if they could buy it, Li Chongyi told them with a smile on his face that now they are bringing gifts for their king, if they want to buy, they can go to the small town of Imo, all the goods are on the ship, and after they have visited the king, they will leave for China, and there will be a chance to come in the future.

After half a month's journey, Li Chongyi and his entourage finally arrived in Tunis, which also made Li Chongyi understand that the Ptolemaic dynasty was only a small country.

Under the lure of Li Chongyi, Imo also told the truth, they are just a small country living in this remote corner, but they have a long history, but they have been decaying for hundreds of years, and now Eastern Rome is letting the division attack them in order to unify the continent, if it is not now because of the winter, I am afraid that the country has been destroyed.

And he is close to the Tang Dynasty, but also wants to save the family in the name of the Tang Dynasty, as for whether Li Chongyi wants to establish diplomatic relations with Ptolemy, he doesn't care, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty should be a more powerful country than Eastern Rome, there is no need to give face to the Romans, maybe he can keep Ptolemy, then he will make a great contribution, so it is unknown to be an earl.

And Li Chongyi also knew this in his heart, and decided to just do a perfunctory thing, it is best to explore the map of this continent, as well as the strength of the country.

The countries on this continent are fighting for life and death, and the more they die, the better, as long as it doesn't affect themselves, everything is none of their business.

At sunset, Li Chongyi, known as King Ptolemy XXXVI, was greeted into the city.

Ptolemy XXXVI was a middle-aged fat man, perhaps because he was attacked by Rome, he had been terrified, and there were only a few sparse hairs on his head, and he repaid great enthusiasm for Li Chongyi's arrival.

Li Chongyi was born in the royal family, not only dignified, but also thoughtful and elegant, which makes people feel good, and gorgeous clothes, decent decoration, and elegant temperament make Ptolemy, these untidy nobles who have few sets of decent clothes look ashamed and dwarfed.

Compared to them, they are more like undeveloped savages, and even the guards of the Tang Dynasty are more gorgeously dressed than them.

The specially selected guard of honor is all tall and good-looking warriors, wearing mighty and improved Mingguang armor, like silver armor, shining in the final sunset, whether it is the steel shield on the arm, or the obstacle knife in the hand, it is not ordinary at first glance, the helmet on the head is not put down the mask, revealing a handsome and strong face, compared to the rough appearance of the West, the Eastern warriors are more delicate, so that many onlookers secretly swallow their saliva, and the bold ones also throw flying kisses.
