Chapter 224 Is this person so smart?Since the caravan members haven't left yet, there's no need to bother passing a few words back and forth. After Yun Shu found out the location of the people in the caravan, he went to visit them in person the next day. The leader of the Liu family caravan was an uncle from a branch of the Liu family. Three generations ago, he and the right prime minister had the same great-grandfather. Liu Xingsong had never expected that he had drifted on the sea for nearly a year just because of this business trip. After returning, he quickly brought the novelties bought by the caravan from overseas to Beijing. I am really too tired to work hard, so I want to rest in my house in the capital for a month or two. As a result, Princess Saint Ann came directly to the door! Why would such an important person come to see him in person? Could it be that... she took a fancy to the big skirts and high heels they brought back and wanted to ask him if he had more? But there is no need for Your Highness to come here in person! Liu Xingsong was puzzled, but the moment he heard the news, he jumped up from the recliner, hurriedly tidied his clothes, and ran quickly towards the front yard: "I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" "I didn't even say hello before I came here. What crime can you commit?"
Yun Shu waved his hand casually, without any politeness, and went straight to the point: "I heard that you are the leader of the Liu family's seafaring caravan?" "It's the common people!" Yun Shu acted casually, but Liu Xingsong didn't dare to follow suit. After he stood up, he still maintained a bowing posture and turned in the same direction as Yun Shu walked. Yun Shu's mouth twitched, he nodded and then asked: "You have been sailing on the sea for nearly a year, and I believe you have visited many places. I wonder... is there a map?" "Your Highness, I did draw a rough map of this, but..." "Just what?" Seeing Liu Xingsong's embarrassed expression, Yun Shu raised his eyebrows: "Can't you show it to me?" "Of course not!" Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see it, so how can she say no? Fearing that Yun Shu would misunderstand him, Liu Xingsong quickly explained: “But there might be something wrong with the picture I drew! I was clearly heading west at the beginning, and I didn't deviate from the direction at all, but for some reason... I ended up returning to Tiansheng! So I wondered if I had actually lost my way at sea. If that was the case, then the map I drew would naturally be..." "It turns out that the world is really round!" "Wha, what?" Before he could utter the last few words, Princess Saint Ann clapped her hands and said excitedly, "The world is round." Liu Xingsong was stunned on the spot: "The sky... forget it, but how can the earth be round?" "I do not know!"
Yun Shu had a look on his face that said, "Who should I ask if you ask me?" "I also read in a book before that the world is actually a ball and we all live on it. That's why you keep walking in one direction but end up walking back to where you started." Liu Xingsong: “???” How could they possibly live on a ball! Wouldn’t it be possible to fall down if you’re not careful? The sky is round and the earth is square. The sky is round and the earth is square, so the earth must be square! But then again, if this place is really square, how did he get back to Tiansheng? Liu Xingsong was so confused that his mind was almost twisted into a ball. He even wanted to try to ask Princess Saint Ann what book she was reading. But Yun Shu had already quickly passed over this topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Take out your map and show it to me. I have never been overseas before!" "This is it!" Her Royal Highness the Princess had already spoken, so Liu Xingsong could only suppress his doubts for the time being and then invited Yun Shu to his study. "Your Highness, please take a look." He carefully spread out the map he had drawn when he was bored on the ship for nearly a year in front of Yunshu. Liu Xingsong first pointed to the area near the center of the map: "This is Dasheng." Well, although the map drawn by Liu Xingsong basically only has an outline, and this outline is not accurate at all, But Yun Shu could still barely judge based on its general shape and position that the map of this world was indeed very similar to her world. That would be easy. Yun Shu propped up his head and pointed to a general area: "I remember that the travelogue I read before also said that the people in this place have very white skin, blond, red, brown, and black hair, and their eyes are also blue, green, and strange. They are completely different from us?" "Yes." “And this place.” Seeing Liu Xingsong nodded, Yun Shu pointed to another place: "I heard there's something with a hard, thorny shell and a really bad smell, but it tastes okay?" "...That's right." Liu Xingsong responded: "According to the locals, it seems to be called 'Du Er Yan'." "Where do you bet?" The ancient name of durian seems to be transliterated like this. Yun Shu was a little unsure, but it didn't matter, after all, this was not the point. I tried to pick out the more famous specialties from various places and asked about them. Yun Shu's finger finally landed on an island not far from Tiansheng: "I heard that there are a lot of silver mines on this island?" "Silver mine?"
Liu Xingsong was stunned. He really didn't know this! If there are so many silver mines, then this island should be quite rich, right? But when their caravan passed by, the chattering little dwarfs they saw on the island looked like they had just come out of a cave! Could it be... because I just came out of the mine? Hiss...When I think about it this way, it is really possible! Otherwise, how could a normal person end up in such a miserable situation? Besides, the travelogue that Princess Saint Ann read was obviously very real, and all the things mentioned above matched up. It doesn't make sense that this silver mine is fake, right? Princess Saint Ann is of such a high status that she came to see him in person today. I'm afraid she has her eyes on these silver mines. If he had said everything was fine at the beginning, but when he got to the silver mine, he said he didn't know... If the princess or even His Majesty suspected that he wanted to embezzle the money, he would be doomed! Liu Xingsong wiped his sweat and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, that seems to be the case!" Huh? So smart! Many of the inducing words she prepared before coming here were not even put to use yet, as this person had already given her the answer she wanted. Yun Shu stood up and nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder Sixth Brother praised you! You are indeed a good person!"
