Han Shang didn't know what Qin Wen was looking for him, so he asked Qin Wen with some hesitation, "Family Master, do you have anything to do with me?"

Qin Wen waved his hand for Han Shang to sit on the chair next to him, and then said straight to the point: "I'm going to go to those countries in the west, do you have a map or something like that?"

Han Shang didn't expect Qin Wen to suddenly prepare to go to a Western country, so he hesitated, took out a few drawings of different sizes from his storage bag, and then gently placed them on the table and said, "My subordinates haven't been to those countries in the west, but these are the maps of Western countries that I collected. ”

"Some are bordered by the wasteland, and some are and are a separate country, because the subordinates have not really gone to the field to explore, so it is not clear whether these maps can be used normally, please look at the head of the family, as for the translation, the subordinate in the westernmost country of Jiaguan on this continent, has set up a separate shop, the main customers are for those caravans from Western countries, so the interpreter is in the shop to bring it. ”

Qin Wen didn't expect Han Shang to think things so thoughtfully, so he nodded slightly and said: "It's been hard for you this time, let's take a look at these maps first, let me have an impression of the western continent first, and save my eyes when I go, is this the country of Jiaguan you are talking about?"

Qin Wen had already gotten up and came to the table at this time, casually spread out a map, pointed to a direction marked on the map to the east and asked, Han Shang looked at the place Qin Wen was pointing to, and nodded slightly: "This is indeed the country of Jiaguan, and the west of the country of Jiaguan is an endless wasteland, but these wastelands are much better than the desert here, and there is no problem for monks to pass through." ”

"The forces that rule these wastelands are mainly mountain bandits. Since they were unable to plant and graze, they made a living by robbing caravans, and generally speaking, they did not harm the lives of the caravan monks, and some of them also left the caravans to trade in spiritual objects that they kept their capital in accordance with the rules, so that they would not be exhausted. The caravanserais' financial routes were cut off, so that no one came to do business. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, if the mountain bandits killed the caravan monks every time, it is estimated that some small caravans will gradually die out, and the mountain bandits will eventually fall into a situation where no one can rob them, but this time he is not forming a caravan to go there, and he may not be able to deal with the mountain bandits.

Therefore, Qin Wen did not ask about the details of these mountain bandits, but pointed to the area drawn with dotted lines on the other side of the wasteland and said, "What is this place? Why is there no country on it?"

Han Shang looked at it and said, "This is the border of the wasteland, and it is an ocean. If you pass through here, it will take you by boat for nearly a month to reach the country on the other side, which is also a continent, with dozens of countries distributed on it, and most of the languages of the countries are clear, but there are some differences, but there are a few interpreters in our caravan, and basically the languages of these countries are not difficult for them. ”

Qin Wen said with some curiosity: "It's going to be a waste of a month on the sea. It's two months to go back and forth at sea, so don't they have a spirit boat? Isn't it safer and faster?"

Han Shang shook his head and said: "Those countries in the West, including here, although they are very sharp in refining magic weapons, but they have not been able to build a spirit boat so far, only their monks above the holy level have the ability to control flying magic weapons, and I have also asked the monks of those caravans for the specific reason, they are mainly a little confused about the control circle of the spirit boat." Therefore, even if you can make the shell of the spirit boat, you can find the spar, but you can't make the spirit boat fly. ”

Qin Wen nodded understandingly, since those countries in the west did not have a spirit boat, it would be more beneficial to their own security. After all, he was carrying a spirit boat on his body, and when he was attacked by a group of monks with a similar realm, he could take out the spirit boat and leave at any time.

Next, Qin Wen looked at several other maps, the countries marked on those maps are some words that Qin Wen has not seen, although Han Shang is not very proficient in these words, but he has also been in contact with the caravan monks of those countries, and the translation of these country names has also told him, he explained to Qin Wen which is the most powerful Jesar Empire, which is the largest country in the territory of the Xili Republic, which is very yearning for the Great Qi culture, and every time he comes here, he has to bring back a large number of imitation porcelain of the Lulan Empire.

Qin Wen wrote down the names and approximate locations of these countries, and the three of them chatted like this for an afternoon, until the monk on duty came to tell them that the dinner was ready, and Qin Wen asked Han Shangdao: "When are you going to return to the country of Jiaguan this time?" I am going to go with you, and at that time you can arrange the matter of interpreting. ”

Han Shang thought for a while and said: "Normally, I wait for the caravan to come back from the city of expulsion, and then go to the western country with the caravan, so that the resettlement points of each country have to go through again, and it will take more than three months at the least, and the time consumed is too long, this time it is better for us to go alone, after sending you out of the country of Jiaguan, I will come back and wait for the caravan, it is estimated that the time is enough." ”

Qin Wen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, since you don't follow the caravan to the Expulsion City, then let's start going to the country of Jiaguan tomorrow." After speaking, Qin Wen walked out of the main hall with Han Shang and Fang Li, and came to the banquet hall, seeing that the monk had invited Su Ruo over, Qin Wen walked over with a smile on his face.

Sitting at the main table with Su Ruo at the same time, Qin Wen first picked up his wine glass and said a few words of encouragement to the caravan monks, and then sat down and started the dinner party specially prepared for these caravan monks, after three rounds of wine, Qin Wen turned around and whispered to Su Ruo: "I have all the preparations for going to the west, let's get up early tomorrow and leave." ”

Su Ruo didn't expect Qin Wen to be ready so quickly, thinking that she was about to go to a place she had never been to before, she was a little excited, but she and Qin Wen didn't understand the language over there, she said with some apprehension: "We don't understand the language of that place, how can we communicate with the locals after we go?"

Qin Wen smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already asked Han Shang to find a good interpreter, when the time comes, we can go directly, if you want to see the scenery along the way, let's go on foot, if you feel too tired, just sit in the spirit boat, and then you can bring some local specialties back to the Ziyun Mountain Range." ”

Su Ruo nodded a little excitedly, Qin Wen looked at Su Ruo's smile under the light, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Su Ruo also came into contact with Qin Wen's gaze at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of the public, and lowered his head slightly with a red face, Qin Wen looked up and saw that the people at his table were watching him at any time, and he couldn't help coughing, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes.

At this time, Fang Li and the others at the table were busy covering up, and the dishes were picked, and the order began to make a noise, and they all shifted their eyes from Qin Wen and the others, and when they saw this scene, Su Ruo was also amused and laughed.

The next morning, Qin Wen got up early, did not alarm the monks in the courtyard, but under the send-off of Fang Li and Zhao Wu, he took Han Shang and Su Ruo to the road to the country of Jiaguan, the customs and customs on this road are similar to the country of Huichuan, they did not stop much, sometimes they used the spirit boat to hurry, basically it took about ten days to come to the shop in the country of Jiaguan.

The two Xuanshi realm account rooms were leisurely sipping tea in the shop, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of them, and then looked outside the door Han Shang walked in, so he hurriedly got up, and just stood up, they saw Qin Wen behind Han Shang again, these two account rooms were suddenly a little at a loss, they were all from the Qin manor in the city of expulsion, and naturally recognized Qin Wen, but since he came here, he has not seen him again, one of the clever account rooms, hurriedly moved the chair behind him, bowed to Qin Wen and said, "Qin Ye, why are you here today?" ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to go to other places, let Han Shang take me here to have a look, are you still used to being here?"

The two bookkeepers replied busily: "Habit, habit, Qin Ye is running all the way, and it is not very convenient for people to rest here, so let's go to the backyard to rest first, and my subordinates will let people prepare two clean quiet rooms." ”

Qin Wen nodded lightly, and Han Shang led the way through the counter in front and walked to the backyard, the backyard was a wide three-in, three-out large courtyard, and several Xuanshi upper-level monks on duty were patrolling, and in one of the gatehouses, Qin Wen also saw the magic circle monks on duty.

It seems that although it is daytime, Han Shang is still relatively strict with the precautions here, Qin Wen couldn't help but bow slightly, most of these monks have seen Qin Wen, and they are busy bowing forward, Han Shang led Qin Wen and the two directly to the main hall in the courtyard, let Qin Wen sit down on the Taishi chair, and then waved his hand to the account room and said: "You go and find Xue Yan now, I have something to arrange for him." ”

The account office didn't know what Han Shang was looking for Xue Yan to do as soon as he came back, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly agreed, and then hurriedly walked out of the main hall, and by the way, asked the monk on duty to make a pot of tea for Qin Wen.

After about half a pillar of incense, Qin Wen saw a thin middle-aged monk walking over, with a happy smile on his face, he should always have this expression, the middle-aged monk had never seen Qin Wen, after entering the main hall, he first gave Han Shang a salute and said, "Steward Han, do you have anything to do with me?"
