At this point, he suddenly changed the topic. "This is the route I originally prepared for you, but now that Qiuci City is in a state of war, you have to bypass Qiuci City and go through it from the side. Look at the map. There should be a small path here. You will see the desert after you pass through it. After a few days, you will reach India. When you get the information in India, you will return and wait for me at the port of Tang Empire a year later."
Before Xuanzang could say anything, Li Shimin asked, "Feng Zi, why did you ask Xuanzang to go to the port?"
Zhang Feng smiled faintly, "Lao Li, did you forget about the steamship I mentioned before? It will be ready in a few days. When Xuanzang is at the port, the steamship will be able to pass through. "
As he spoke, he picked up the map on the table and handed it to Xuanzang. "Xuanzang, this is a map that I drew for you. With your speed and the help of your guards, it will take you at most a year to return. Don't worry."
Xuanzang took the map excitedly. His emotions were indescribable. He bowed to Zhang Feng and said, "Thank you, Master."
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "You are welcome. This is what I should do."
The more Zhang Feng acted like this, the more excited and grateful Xuanzang was. He felt as if his heart was about to fly to India. "Master, I cannot thank you enough. Please allow me to thank you when I return."
After that, he bowed deeply to Zhang Feng and Li Shimin and left.
Zhang Feng looked at Xuanzang's back and sighed in relief. He turned around and sat down on a stool. He took out a cigarette from his waist and slowly lit it up. His face was full of enjoyment.
"Feng Zi, your acting just now was not bad."
Li Shimin turned around and looked at Zhang Feng playfully.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Feng took out the cigarette butt and rolled his eyes at Li Shimin. "I wasn't acting just now. It was all for the people of the Tang Dynasty and India."
Li Shimin waved his hand and casually found a chair to sit on. "It's not an act, okay?"
Then, he turned to Zhang Feng and asked mysteriously, "Feng Zi, do you think Xuanzang will listen to you?"
Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what was going on. He wasn't a hundred percent sure about this, but it was still a good thing to have Xuanzang on his side. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "It's hard to say. Xuanzang is a very compassionate person. He's also very loyal to his principles. It's hard to say if he'll send a message …"
At this point, he suddenly revealed a sinister smile. "That's why I told him to arrange for guards. As long as we bring these guards into India, even if Xuanzang doesn't send any information, these guards will still be there. Do you understand?"
Li Shimin nodded. How could he not see through Feng Zi's little tricks?
In fact, he had noticed something strange just now. It was one thing to be apprenticed to a master, but he still acted as if he appreciated him. Wasn't this a bit of a show? Fortunately, that silly monk Xuanzang couldn't see through it.
He looked at Zhang Feng and said seriously, "Feng Zi, how do you plan to arrange for the guards?"
Guards?
Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he wanted to arrange for the guards in the mansion. After all, these guys were veterans and loyal. They wouldn't betray him in India.
But now, he changed his mind. He was about to go to Jiangnan. These guards couldn't be used for other purposes.
After thinking about it, he turned to Li Shimin. "Lao Li, you should have some guards. Do you want them to protect you?"
"Me?"
Li Shimin shouted subconsciously.
He originally thought that Feng Zi would ask him to take care of it. Why did he push the responsibility to him?
But on second thought, it seemed more reliable.
What kind of good guards did Feng Zi have? The guards in the mansion were veterans who had retired from the army. Most of them were injured, not to mention going to India. They would probably die on the way.
With this, he might as well send someone to the barracks to find some active soldiers. That seemed more reliable.
After thinking about it, he nodded. "Okay, I'll take care of the guards."
Zhang Feng nodded slightly and took a deep breath of his cigarette. He said cautiously, "This matter can't be known by too many people. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the news is leaked."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhangsun Wuji, who was sitting at the side. Li Shimin followed Zhang Feng's gaze and looked over.
Sensing the strange gaze, Zhangsun Wuji shuddered and quickly waved his hand. "You still don't trust me? I'm an honest man. "
Li Shimin immediately looked at him with disdain. Others might not know this guy, but how could he not know? Don't be fooled by his sanctimonious appearance. In fact, he was full of evil tricks. But to be honest, he still had talent and wisdom. Most importantly, he was loyal. Otherwise, how could he become such a high-ranking official? So, he still trusted this guy.
