Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1787 Talking
On the way here, Su Cheng asked people to prepare a banquet.

The dishes are not important, because Su Cheng knows that bearded guests have better wine, so he specially asked people to fetch a few altars of good wine from his collection.

The bearded man took a deep breath and said with emotion: "That's the smell, to tell you the truth, your wine here is really the No. I miss it."

When he was away at sea, what he missed most was the aroma of this wine.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Since I miss you so much, what are you waiting for? Let's go first!"

The bearded man didn't say much, he directly picked up the wine glass and drank it, because he really missed the wine in Su Cheng's house very much.

Su Cheng picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "Thank you for this glass of wine. You took the risk to lead the fleet out to sea and returned smoothly!"

After hearing this, the bearded man quickly waved his hands and said, "What you said is too far-fetched. I owe you such a big favor in the first place. By the way, the fleet still has to go to sea, right? I have to go to the Western Regions, too. It's nothing, if you trust me, I will lead the fleet to sea again."

Back then, the bearded man wanted to lead the fleet out to sea once, return Su Cheng's favor, and then go out to sea to continue looking for a new route.

Sometimes he also thought that just leading the fleet out to sea once would not be able to return all of Su Cheng's favors.

But he was full of curiosity about the unknown route, and couldn't wait to explore it.

On the way back, he kept thinking about this question.

Later, he made a decision. If someone else asked him to lead the fleet to the Western Regions, he would refuse. If Su Cheng asked him to lead the fleet to the Western Regions, he would agree.

But after returning to Chang'an, he saw the train and heard that Goguryeo and Tubo had been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. He was overwhelmed and admired Su Cheng's talent and heart, so he took the initiative to lead the fleet to sea again.

Su Cheng couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, because before going out to sea, the bearded man said that after going out to sea this time, he would open up a new sea route.He also knew in his heart that the Bearded Man was full of adventurous spirit, eager to open up new sea routes and search for new continents.

Although he didn't know why the bearded man suddenly changed his original intention, he could still see that the bearded man was still more eager to open up new routes.

If the bearded man can lead the fleet to the Western Regions again, that would be a good thing. Li Shimin, Wang Yuanhui and others must be very happy to hear that.

However, Su Cheng didn't immediately agree. He pondered and asked: "Brother Zhang, do you think Liu Xiaochuan and the others can take care of themselves now? Can you lead the fleet to the Western Regions?"

The bearded man pondered: "Although Liu Xiaochuan is young, he is very clever, and he is hardworking and studious. He has made great progress in the past few years. In my opinion, he can indeed stand on his own!"

"However, the situation at sea is changing, and the journey to the Western Regions is far away, and I am not familiar with the route. Let alone Liu Xiaochuan, even I can't guarantee that I will be able to return smoothly."

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "When I selected someone, I saw that he was very hard-working and adventurous. However, he can grow so fast, not only because of his hard work and studious, but also because of your careful teaching."

On this point, the bearded man is not humble, because he feels that he owes Su Cheng a lot of favor, so when teaching Liu Xiaochuan, he can be said to teach him everything.

The bearded man smiled and said: "That's what it should be. This kid is not only smart, but also has a very good character. Since you want to train and reuse him, then I naturally have to teach him well."

Su Cheng smiled and asked: "Hero Zhang, to be honest, if Liu Xiaochuan leads the fleet out to sea, how sure do you think you can get back?"

The bearded man pondered: "To be honest, I have a lot of confidence, even less than if I personally lead the fleet to go to sea. Going to sea actually depends on luck. As long as his luck is not really bad, there should be no problem."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I know, you have been looking forward to opening up new shipping routes, and you don't want to lead the fleet to sea anymore, do you? Now that Liu Xiaochuan can take charge of his own affairs, let him lead the fleet to sea."

The bearded man drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "To be honest, I really want to open up a new sea route and learn about this world. However, if you don't feel at ease, it's okay for me to lead the fleet to the Western Regions."

It seems that the bearded man just wants to repay him, so he wants to lead the fleet to the Western Regions again.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Since they can already learn to be a teacher, then let them go to the sea. This time, let Liu Xiaochuan lead the fleet to the Western Regions! In fact, I want Brother Zhang to stop and have a rest. Live in Chang'an or Luoyang for a year or so, and enjoy a peaceful life."

Hearing that Su Cheng told Liu Xiaochuan to take the fleet to the Western Regions, the bearded man suddenly felt a sense of relief, and was inexplicably a little excited.

The bearded man shook his head and said, "I don't want to stay in Chang'an or Luoyang to waste time. My destiny is the sea. Sailing in a boat on the endless sea to fight against wind and waves is the greatest joy in life."

"So, instead of staying in Chang'an Luoyang, it's better to lead the fleet to the Western Regions."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhang and I, why are you so polite? If you think Liu Xiaochuan is reliable in leading the fleet, then you can go and work on yours. If you think it is unreliable, then I will trouble you to lead the fleet again." Go for a run."

Seeing what Su Cheng said, the bearded man stopped being polite, and murmured: "To be honest, I have already taught everything that needs to be taught. Even if I take Liu Xiaochuan out to sea again, it will not improve him much."

Su Cheng laughed and said: "Since Brother Zhang said so, let's make a decision and let Liu Xiaochuan lead the fleet to the Western Regions!"

The bearded man said seriously: "However, I have to remind you that the fleet will inevitably be risky when going out to sea. I think it is better to separate the fleet."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket, that's what I thought too, split the fleet into two, Liu Xiaochuan led the fleet to the Western Regions, and left a part of the fleet and experienced seamen to train newcomers. "

The bearded man laughed and said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. It's a wonderful idea. It turns out that the Duke has already thought about it, but I'm worrying too much!"

Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "Hey, I should thank Brother Zhang for reminding me. Is Brother Zhang determined to open up a new route? Duke Wei has always been worried about you!"

The bearded man nodded and said: "My son is on the river, and the dead are like a husband. Time doesn't wait. I want to measure the world by myself. I want to explore the sea. When I open up a new sea route, I will definitely lead the fleet to go there. "

"Actually, my second brother doesn't have to worry about me. The most important thing in a person's life is to be happy to his heart's content. Otherwise, it's meaningless to live to be a hundred years old."
