Chapter 518 8.37 Departure

The next morning, the gates of Memphis slowly opened. In the eyes of countless merchants, all the carriages of the Hash Caravan had been arranged in a long line and stood in the middle of the street.

The merchants' eyes were either envious or jealous, but at this time, the scale of the Hash Caravan was no longer as miserable as when they entered the city.

His horse team was still the same 50 people, but only three days after entering Memphis, Heath Branch, a successful businessman from Constantinople, appeared on his right.

On his left stood the seven Academy of Sciences scholars led by Mergwen Waldorf.

As for the end of the team, there were fifty Tang soldiers led by the "Tang Envoy" Concubine Xue.

At this time, old Hash really experienced what "good luck" meant.

Just after entering Memphis, he was extremely nervous. He didn't know whether he could swallow the delicious candy that was already bitten in his mouth.

But he knew that he had to take a gamble.

If he wins this bet, it means that he can achieve the goal he has been pursuing all his life. He will be able to obtain enough funds to build a large chamber of commerce, and then leave the "horse gang" business, which is neither safe nor stable.

Loki can continue to join his team, which is a complete surprise to Hash.

Regardless of whether this person is real or fake, even if he is the real "God Killer" Loki, he is lost in the desert alone and escorted back to Memphis by himself. Shouldn't he wait for his vassal to come to "rescue" like other emperors?

The more than 100 carts of goods in his horse team can almost be said to be taken back from the cavalry of the "Crescent Trading Company" by his bravery. Hash knows that if he has a little kindness to Loki, this gift is enough to pay it off.

He no longer has any need to follow his team into the desert.

However, what he didn't expect was that he not only continued to join his caravan with the title of "guard", but he also used some unknown method to merge the "Tang envoy" who was waiting to receive the goods mentioned by the Crescent Moon Trading Company into his team.

Hash knew that when a matter was so complicated and chaotic, there were only three things that a "lower-class citizen" like him could do:

1. Avoid eye contact

2. Avoid verbal contact

3. Avoid all contact.

In short, it was "a turtle heard thunder and fell to the ground and pretended to be dead".

Anyway, the Tang envoy had made it clear that she was no longer interested in the more than 100 carts of goods, and she had "never heard of" the dispute between herself and the Crescent Moon Trading Company.

This sentence was enough for a caravan merchant like Hash who was still fighting for gold coins.

Old Hash had walked this road all his life, and he knew where his mission was.

People are born different.

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and from the moment they are born, they live a life that is completely different from that of ordinary people.

They don't need to worry about gold coins, and don't need to change their social class. They just need to stand in line honestly and obey the family's instructions for marriage and funerals.

They will always be a superior consumer.

Hand the gold coins to the servants who kneel down and smile.

For example, Mergwen Waldorf on the left.

She walked into the desert with empty hands. She spent money, manpower and effort. Even if she got nothing, she still had to do it.

There is no way, this is the "duty of servants".

Old Hash knows that his upper limit in life is still not to get rid of being a "servant".

Not to mention his lifetime, he can't become Mergwen even if his life is extended three times, so he can only find a way to get closer to "Heath Blanche" on the other hand.

Although the "Chamber of Commerce President" and the "Caravan Boss" are all "servants who kneel down and smile", at least after becoming the Chamber of Commerce Boss, he can be less tired. When he is older, he doesn't have to endure the pain in his joints and force himself to withstand the wind and sand to continue rushing into the dangerous black desert.

At the end of the caravan stood Concubine Xue and the Tang soldiers accompanying her.

The most prosperous time for Tang envoys was still the period of the "Kaiyuan Prosperity" 70 years ago. In the early days of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's reign, he used many ways to demonstrate the powerful national strength of the prosperous hall.

Sending Tang envoys to drift along the vast ocean to various continents was the simplest means.

During the Xuanzong era, each Tang envoy's fleet had more than 10 ocean-going ships, and the total number of people in the entire fleet reached thousands.

They would walk all the way, handing over business cards and gifts from the Tang Dynasty in the East (usually tea, porcelain, or silk) to various countries along the way. At the same time, they would collect the rare goods and toys from various countries along the way into the fleet, and wait until the return trip to transport them back to Chang'an City for the people to enjoy.

This was only at the beginning of the Kaiyuan period.

At the end of his reign, he sent tens of thousands of scholars to the ends of the earth to draw the "General Map of the World", vowing to draw all the hidden corners of the entire planet into a detailed atlas.

Unfortunately, this huge investment project ended in failure due to the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion".

The original plan was to have 292 volumes of the world map, but only 30 of them were successfully completed, which is only 1/10.

The scholars who failed to complete the drawing on time either died at the hands of the ancient gods or temporarily shelved the action due to lack of funds and lack of supervision.

During the Yuanhe period when Emperor Xianzong of Tang came to power, the decline of national power made the appearance of the "Tang envoys" traveling different from before.

Despite this, Concubine Xue's superior, the "old procuress", still knew that in order to attract the attention of the Illuminati, Concubine Xue, as a Tang envoy, still had to dress up as this position should be.

Concubine Xue's team still had a scale of 2,000 people and more than 20 ships of different sizes.

Even this time when she crossed the killing and entered the city of Memphis, she was accompanied by 200 elite Tang soldiers for a long time. This time when she entered the desert, she did not choose to bring all the casual troops with her, but selected 50 elite soldiers to complete the task of infiltrating the Illuminati.

Squinting her eyes and looking at the back of "Heath Blanche", Concubine Xue did not know what method he used to infiltrate this team, but this Visigoth youth obviously had his own methods. Since Loki entered the city, she and Heath have been completely strangers.

With the existence of Heath as a secret stake, plus "Loki", an unexpected helper,

It won't be too difficult to complete this operation.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the first ray of sunlight began to appear in the deep blue sky, and the sunrise in the endless sea of ​​sand has begun.

Facing the rising sun, Lao Hasi and all the porters, laborers and knights around him from the Arab Empire knelt on the spot. They stretched out their arms and recited the prayers that every adventurer in their hometown must recite when going out.

"Praise the red sun, praise the fire king!"

"Mohammed Has is the name of this team!

Archbishop Susas is the only true God in our hearts!

Today, your believers will throw themselves into the flames!"

"If there is an accident on the road, we will turn into firewood to illuminate future generations!"

Dingling Dingling Facing the dazzling morning sun, when the door was fully opened, Has led the first horse out of the town, and this huge horse team finally walked into the endless sea of ​​sand.
