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

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian immediately thanked Lu Wan, then sat down and ordered, and then Cen Changqian smiled at Lu Wan: "May I ask your surname, sir?" Looking at the appearance of the gentleman, he must be a perennial boat runner, right? ”

Lu Wan wears clothes similar to Hu Fu, the top and bottom are separated, the collar and cuffs are relatively small, which is more convenient for action on the ship, this kind of clothing was only worn on the ship at first, but later Li Su's naval uniform also adopted this style, so this became popular, many crew members not only wear it on the ship, but also wear it ashore, and even some young people who are not crew members feel that this kind of clothes is convenient, and they also begin to wear it in daily life, but looking at Lu Wan's age and bearing, he must be a perennial runner.

Lu Wan was not surprised at all after hearing this, and nodded immediately: "The surname of Lu is indeed begging for a living at sea, this time I just went to Tianzhu to do some things, but I don't know the surnames of the two little brothers, but are they students who have traveled to Tianzhu?" ”

Cen Changqian doesn't need to say it, he knows that he is a scholar at a glance, and although Wang Fangyi is more like a martial artist, his words and deeds are extremely educated, and he knows that he is well educated at a glance, and with Lu Wan's eyes, he can naturally see it at a glance. Moreover, with the spread of newspapers and other media in recent years, Confucian students from all over the Tang Dynasty have also opened their eyes and traveled overseas together to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, so Lu Wancai misunderstood Wang Fangyi that they were traveling students.

Wang Fangyi and the two glanced at each other after hearing this, their trip this time was very secretive, and they didn't even know about Li Zhen and Li Yun in advance. So they couldn't reveal their identities, so they nodded and said, "Mr. Lu's guess is good." We are indeed students of Chang'an, and we went out to travel this time. Then prepare for the scientific expedition. ”

Lu Wan was also very interested after hearing this, don't look at him as a pirate, but he is known as a gentleman among pirates, because he likes to read since he was a child, and even from his heart, he has always thought that he is half a scholar, so when he sees Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian, he will feel more cordial.

At present, Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian briefly introduced their names, anyway, they are not very famous now. Don't worry Lu Wan knows them. In addition, they were also very interested in life at sea, and Wang Fangyi asked at the moment: "Mr. Lu lives by the sea, he must have been to many places, I don't know if I can talk about it for the later students, if Brother Wang and I travel to those places in the future, we should be prepared." ”

Lu Wan happened to feel that he was bored drinking alone, and now he was very happy to meet Wang Fangyi and two young people, plus he was also a talkative person. Therefore, he told some of the places he had been to in his sailing career, especially about the customs and customs of various places, Lu Wan could be said to know everything about it, which made Wang Fangyi and the others fascinated.

At the time of joy that I said. The dishes ordered by Wang Fangyi and the others also came up, and the three of them simply put the wine and food together, and everyone chatted while eating. Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian will accompany Li Ke to Africa and the Americas next. So these two continents are also most interested, so in the next tense. The questions they asked Lüvin were also about these two continents.

For the Americas, Lüvin naturally has more say than anyone else. However, he did not tell about his exploration of the American route, otherwise it would be a bit of a show-off. As for Africa, Lu Wan really hasn't been there, but he has many friends in the slave hunting association, and from their mouths, Lu Wan can easily get information about all aspects of Africa, and now he is talking about it, which is enough to make Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian amazed.

Just when the three of them were eating and chatting, feeling that they were all friends with each other, 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 of the other, one in front of them was a palace attendant, and behind them were two plainclothes men, these two big men looked around on the second floor, and when they saw Wang Fangyi and Lu Wan sitting together, they were all immediately happy.

I saw two plainclothes men whispering a few words to the palace attendant in front, and this attendant was also relieved, and immediately stepped forward and said to Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian: "Two gentlemen, according to the Pope's order, I invite two of you into the palace, and the one is also waiting for the two gentlemen in the palace!" ”

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian didn't expect Li Zhen and Li Yun to summon them into the palace, but they also knew that it must have been His Royal Highness King Wu who mentioned them in front of his two younger brothers, so they sent the attendants of this palace and the two guards of His Royal Highness King Wu to find them.

Lu Wan didn't expect that the two young people he just met would be personally summoned by Li Zhen and Li Yun, it seems that he has lost his eyes, and the identities and origins of these two young people are definitely not simple.

"Mr. Lu, we need to go to the palace for something, if we have a fate, let's drink and chat in the future!" Wang Fangyi and the two stood up and said, and then they were about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, I saw Lu Wan stand up and stop them and said, "Two brothers, please stay!" ”

"What's the matter, what else does Mr. Lu have to say?" Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian asked with some confusion.

I saw Lu Wan step forward and said: "In Xia Lu Wan, in fact, this time I came to Zhongjing, and I asked to see the two popes, but unfortunately I was blocked out of the palace today, and now the two brothers want to enter the palace, can I say a word to the two popes on behalf of the brothers?" ”

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

"Hehe, yes, it's Lu!" Lu Wan also said with a smile. Since he discovered Australia and the Americas, the name Lu Wan has become a frequent visitor in newspapers, and newspapers often find him for interviews, so Lu Wan is very well-known in Datang and various parts of Taiwan, and it is not surprising that Wang Fangyi can recognize him at once.

"Haha, great, I didn't expect that Brother Wang and I were lucky enough to meet Captain Lu, and we had a good conversation, in fact, it was an honor, but since Captain Lu wants to meet the two popes, then just enter the palace with us, and then we can introduce you to our lord!" Cen Changqian was also very excited. Li Ke is about to start developing his own career overseas, an excellent navigator like Lu Wan is very rare, and he must also want to make friends with him.

Lu Wan was also a little surprised when he heard this, and when he was about to ask Cen Changqian who the lord was, Wang Fangyi found that the other people on the second floor were already paying attention to the three of them, in this case, he naturally couldn't tell Li Ke's name, so he glanced at Cen Changqian and Lu Wan, and then the group got out of the restaurant, and there was already a carriage from the palace waiting for them outside the restaurant.

Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian pulled Lu Wan into the carriage, and then ordered the palace attendants to lead the way, and then Wang Fangyi said to Lu Wan: "Don't hide it from Mr. Lu, our lord is His Royal Highness King Wu, who came to Tianzhu secretly this time, and is now talking about brotherhood with the two popes in the palace." ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu!" Lu Wan was also very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Ke to be here, and he didn't expect that the two young people he met inadvertently turned out to be Li Ke's subordinates, and seeing that they could be summoned into the palace alone, they must be very trusted by Li Ke.

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

Lu Wan only reacted at this time, and he was also a little excited to see Li Ke in his heart, and immediately told him about his plan to go from the Mediterranean Sea to the other side of the Americas, and also told him that he needed Li Zhen and Li Yun to sign the letter of subjectivity, but Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian were both shocked and excited after hearing it, they didn't expect Lu Wan to have such a big plan, and they could just meet it.

"By the way, I don't know how sure Captain Lu is about this voyage, and how long will it take to come back?" Cen Changqian said very curiously. He was only twenty years old, although he was very talented, but he was at the most enthusiastic age of young people, and some newspaper reports made him very yearning for such a thing as sailing, and if it were not for the fact that his family did not allow it, he really wanted to sail to sea.

Hearing Cen Changqian's words, Lu Wan smiled slightly and said: "The sea is changing, no one dares to say that there is 100% certainty, but according to the world map provided by His Royal Highness King Qi, out of the Mediterranean Sea to the west, is the Atlantic Ocean, this ocean is much smaller than the Pacific Ocean, and the width is not even half of the Pacific Ocean, so as long as you choose the season to go to sea, you should have more than eighty percent certainty of reaching the other side of the Americas!" ”

Hearing that Lu Wan had such confidence, even the calm Wang Fangyi's eyes lit up, if it weren't for his duties, he would also want to experience the excitement of exploring unknown routes, but unfortunately this time they had important things to do, so they could only follow Li Ke around Africa, and then return to Taiwan, if they wanted to go to the Americas, it would be safe to take the route that had been fixed in the Pacific Ocean.

After knowing Lu Wan's identity, Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian became more enthusiastic, and immediately asked Lu Wan about their exploration of the routes between Australia and the Americas, which was also Lu Wan's pride, so he also spoke in great detail, especially the difficulties encountered in the exploration of the Americas, which made Wang Fangyi's hearts beat when they listened.

Just when the three of them were talking, their carriage had arrived in front of the palace gate, according to the rules, the carriage was not allowed to enter, so the three had to get off the carriage on foot, and when they arrived at the door of the main hall, the attendant who was looking for them entered the palace to pass through, but Li Ke and the three of them were also very surprised when they heard that Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian actually brought one person into the palace, and immediately ordered the three of them to enter the palace.
