Qingyang Shuo chuckled and said, "Young master, you don't need to think too much. Shuo has no hatred against the country or family to avenge. Although the Qingyang family's status and surname are sensitive, it is also a matter of ancestors. Shuo has been attached to the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and did not want to participate in the world's disputes.
However, my little daughter Xier has an out-of-character personality, so she had no choice but to ask the young master to take care of her."
Liu Zheng was a little strange: "Sir, actually I have always wanted to ask..."
Qingyang Shuo smiled brightly: "Most of the descendants of the Qingyang family fled to Nanyang. In Shuo's generation, only Shuo and Xi'er are in Longyan."
Liu Zheng nodded and said nothing more.
Qingyang Shuocai continued: "The trip to the Western Regions is of great importance. If it is true as the master said, Xie Tianyao's 500,000 troops were all defeated in the Western Regions, then we will know the mystery and terror of the Western Regions."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Last time I went to Loulan, I didn't feel like this."
Qingyang Shuo smiled and said: "Loulan has an advantageous geographical location. It is connected in all directions and is a prosperous city. With the integration of many ethnic groups in the world, it has lost some of the heresy and mystery of foreign races."
Liu Zheng was slightly surprised.
This Qingyang Shuo really has a unique vision.
In fact, Liu Zheng had compared it in his mind before. In fact, strictly speaking, the territory of Loulan is actually the center of the world today!
That's right.
The Longyan Dynasty is not the center. The center has always been Loulan.
The Longyan Dynasty in the east, the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire in the west, the Mughal Dynasty in the south, and Tsarist Russia in the north. As well as the Western countries that have begun the First Age of Discovery.
The world today is really exciting.
And the center of all this is Loulan!
Loulan is not only the center geographically, but also based on the transportation methods at this time, if Liu Zheng's silk journey is opened up, Loulan will really become the center of the world, whether it is economy, commerce, or colonization.
.....
Qingyang Shuo does not know the current world situation, but he has a keen eye. He is indeed able to judge the general trend of the world better than most people. Moreover, this general trend of the world is not limited to the Longyan Dynasty.
"gentlemen......"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Zheng is just worried that Mr. is physically inconvenient."
Qingyang Shuo laughed and said, "Master, do you think Shuo is already old?"
Liu Zheng said quickly: "Don't dare."
Qingyang Shuo said leisurely: "Shuo just wants to visit the Western Regions and see the customs and customs there. Don't you want to give Shuo a chance? Haha!"
What else could Liu Zheng say, he could only agree.
I was deeply moved in my heart.
...
Liangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Ping, who had not seen him for a long time, felt more and more that he no longer had a sense of existence.
"Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand..."
He sat in the study, gritting his teeth: "It's better to give this Zhou Mu to Liu Dahao!"
A group of subordinates were as silent as cicadas.
The feeling of powerlessness in Chen Ping's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Once upon a time, he was sent to Liangzhou by the prince to take charge of the seventy states of Liangzhou, and his reputation was unparalleled. However, at this time, Liu Dahao only occupied three states and counties in the seventy states, but he was in full swing, as if he was as powerful as him.
Chen Ping, the feeling of being on equal footing. Especially this Western Region Jiedu Envoy, Liu Dahao was even more famous, and he felt faintly overshadowed by him.
Liangzhou.
Since ancient times, it has been the gateway to the northwest. Because of its flat and vast terrain, it was once glorious. It was the ancient capital of several dynasties, and the Yongliang culture is world-famous. It is the famous Hexi Corridor and the starting point of the Silk Road.
However......
Now, Liangzhou is slowly starting to escape from his control. How can Chen Ping not be anxious?
Liu Chang smiled beside him and said, "Sir, having said that, I think the Liu family and his son are coming to an end!"
"oh?"
Chen Ping glanced at him.
Liu Chang smiled and said: "The greatest prosperity must inevitably decline. This is an eternal truth. Two hundred thousand... The Qingzhou Army is only three hundred thousand! What does this mean?"
"The Holy One dominates the world, but has not set foot in the Western Regions for more than thirty years. Why?"
"The Western Region is not a holy land! My lord, Liu Chang believes that this is our great opportunity!"
Chen Ping's spirit froze and his eyes shone: "How do you say this?"
Liu Chang smiled sinisterly: "Sir, officials from Beijing have come to Yinzhou to thoroughly investigate the corruption and perversion of the law by the Liu family and his son. Why don't we come and add some fuel to the jealousy?"
As he spoke, he put his mouth next to Chen Ping's ear and whispered a few words.
