Liu Tan was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately stood up and asked, "Found it? Where is it?"

Chen Ajiao also stood up with a look of concern on her face.

Miao Rui said, "It is said that it is on a small island. I didn't understand it clearly. The news first reached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Tan no longer cared about the Seventh Prince and immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look, Mother..."

He turned to look at Chen Ajiao, and heard Chen Ajiao say very firmly: "I'm going too."

The two of them walked all the way to the Prince's Palace. Liu Ju was also stunned when he saw Chen Ajiao.

Liu Tan quickly explained, "I was just in my mother's palace. How come there's news so soon?"

Liu said, "It was a message sent back by a carrier pigeon."

Liu Tan: "Hmm? Didn't you say that Father didn't bring the carrier pigeon?"

Liu Ju explained, "Father didn't bring it with him when he went to Qi, but he did bring it with him when they went out to sea to facilitate communication."

Liu Tan didn't pursue the question of the pigeons but simply asked, "Where are they?"

Liu Ju frowned and said, "Their location... is very strange. The message sent by my father included a map of their voyage. Alas, it's a good thing you discovered Wei Guan, such a good seedling. Otherwise, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a sea map this time."

Liu Tan was stunned: "Huh? Who is that?"

Liu Ju looked at him in disbelief: "Didn't you lead them on a trip to the Western Regions to create a new map?"

Liu Tan finally reacted: "Oh, oh, oh, it's him."

He couldn't help but wipe his sweat in his heart. To be honest, Liu Tan had hardly remembered Wei Guan since he was taken away by Emperor Wu of Han. At this moment, when he suddenly heard Liu Ju mention him, he was unable to react for a while.

He coughed lightly and said, "He's still somewhat useful. Let's take a look."

The sea chart sent was drawn on silk. After all, the paper was not big enough, and Emperor Liu Che might also be worried that the carrier pigeons might not deliver the chart in place, or that the chart might fall into water during a break, which would make the paper less convenient.

Of course, the most important thing is that the silk is thin enough, at least the silk used by Liu Che was very thin.

Liu Tan looked down at the map. The map was actually very simple, with only two marked points on it, and the rest were directions and distances.

Liu Ju carefully observed Liu Tan's expression and asked, "Can you... tell?"

Liu Ju is now almost worried to death. They have finally got news about Liu Ju and know his location. Now the only thing they need to do is to rescue his father.

As a result, he had no idea where this picture was pointing to!

Liu Tan compared the maps and said, "Wait a minute, I need to draw a map first."

Just based on the direction and two points on the map, he couldn't tell where Liu Che and his men were. The only thing he knew was that they were definitely no longer in the Han mainland and seemed to be on an island.

As for which pirates they were, Liu Tan guessed that based on the direction they set out from Qi, they should be either the Korean Peninsula or Japan.

Of course, if it was the Korean Peninsula, Liu Che should not be unable to return, after all, the Korean Peninsula is adjacent to the Han Dynasty, or the Rong people's territory north of the Yan State.

But Liu Tan always felt that the direction did not seem to be in Japan. Both the Korean Peninsula and Japan were to the east of the Qi port, but this map looked like it was to the south.

Liu Tan was unsure and could only draw a picture on the spot.

And what he drew was the outline of the coastline of the flower-growing country in later generations.

In fact, the coastline of the Han Dynasty's map at that time was not very clear. Only the area from Yan State to Qi State and then to Yangzhou in later generations was relatively complete. Further south... that area was basically within the scope of Baiyue, and did not belong to the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Tan's map not only includes the coastline of the Baiyue region, but also includes islands such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Drawing a map is not an easy task, but fortunately Liu Tan only needs to draw the outline based on his memory and then determine a basic direction. He does not need to draw it in great detail.

Even so, it was enough to surprise Liu Ju and Chen Ajiao.

As they watched, they looked up at each other at the same time, and became more and more curious about Liu Tan's origins.

Could it be that they were truly gods descended from heaven? Otherwise, how could they possibly know so much about the Baiyue region? Even the islands outside the Baiyue region knew about it. These great men only had a few fragments of records, at most a rough location, nothing more.

When Liu Tan started drawing the map, he had already thought about what might be exposed.

But now is not the time to worry about that. It is a matter of human life and it should be exposed.

If it were four years ago, he might still worry about being exposed and being arrested as a liar or a heretic.

Now... he has a family that treats him very well, loyal subordinates, and through his own efforts, his "godlike" personality is almost known to everyone, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Anyway, even if someone wants to use this matter to attack him, he has his mother and brother to support him. When he brings Liu Che back, he can also complain to his father.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan became more motivated - when he saw Liu Che, he would definitely file a complaint!

These days it's not just Liu Qumao who's causing him trouble. There are always some people who, for some unknown reason, want to make things difficult for him. Liu Tan is simply fed up with it!

Motivated by the desire to file a complaint, Liu Tan drew very quickly, but it still took him nearly two hours.

After finishing the drawing, he asked someone to place the map delivered by carrier pigeon on the map he had drawn.

Because Wei Guan also drew the map according to the scale, and the silk was so thin that you could even see the ink lines on the map below.

Liu Tan pointed to one of the spots and said, "This should be the place where my father set out to search for immortals. It was placed in Donglai."

Donglai is actually the ancient name of Yantai, and there are about thirty-two islands to the east of Donglai - of course, this is data from later generations, and even Liu Tan is not very clear about how many islands there are now.

After determining Donglai's location, it will be easier to look at the other location where they are now.

Liu Ju watched the dot land on a blank space, and his expression froze. "Father, are we really in the Immortal Realm?"

There was no island there as Liu Tan had drawn it, unless they were still drifting on the sea, but the silk clearly stated that there was an island there.

That's just a bit of information, because of the pigeon's carrying capacity, there's no more.

Liu Tan's expression was blank. After a long moment, he said in disbelief, "This isn't right. How could it be here?"

After hearing this, Liu Ju immediately asked, "You...you know this place?"

Liu Tan said, "I know, but... it's basically impossible."

Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ajiao, who was standing beside him, asked, "Could it be... put in the wrong place?"

Liu Tan pointed at the words and said, "The words are correct, they should be correct, but..."

Before he could finish his words, someone came and reported, "Your Highness, there's new news!"

This time it was delivered by carrier pigeon. Liu Tan simply used a red pen to write down the location marked on the silk on paper, and then went to look at the new news.

The starting point of this map was the same as the previous one, so Liu Tan simply continued to use the map he had drawn before. However, after putting it on top, he was confused - the point marked on the newly delivered silk was actually closer to the mainland than the point on the previous one!

What's going on? Are they already on their way back?

Not only him, but Liu Ju also thought so. In the next few days, the news received every day showed that the ship was approaching the mainland little by little. However, Liu Che's ship did not choose to land at ports such as Xuwen and Hepu, but circled the entire coastline and still headed towards Qi.

As the news came in bit by bit, Liu Tan felt something was wrong. Now the red dots could almost be connected into a route map, and in the middle, Liu Che and his men perfectly avoided Yingzhou Island, which was later known as Taiwan Island.

After drifting for such a long time, people would generally choose an island to rest as much as possible. Moreover, Yingzhou Island is rich in resources and can be used for replenishment.

Liu Tan looked at the map and couldn't help but find Liu Chen and said, "This situation doesn't seem right. I've never seen this kind of movement before. Is there something wrong with the information?"

Liu Ju frowned slightly and was about to say something when he heard someone report, "Wei Man wants to see you."

Liu Ju thought there was new news, so he let Wei Man in.

When Wei Man came in, sweat all over his face, he said, "Your Highness, there's something wrong with the order of those messages!"

Liu Tan seemed to realize something: "There's something wrong with the order? How could there be a problem with the order?"

Wei Man took a breath and said, "To be honest with you, Your Highnesses, homing pigeons sometimes get lost. Some lesser-quality homing pigeons might not be able to return. The pigeons Your Majesty took with you are of course the best, so even if they get lost for a while, they can still be found. However, they are a little slower because they are lost, and this is when errors occur."

Liu Ju hadn't expected this either, and asked in surprise, "Then how do you know which pigeons are lost and which are not?"

Wei Man said, "We raise these pigeons ourselves. They don't eat or sleep well in the wild, so the condition of the pigeons can be seen during long-distance flights. I was negligent before, and I hope your two highnesses will punish me!"

Before Liu Ze could say anything, Liu Tan said, "Let's put aside the issue of whether to punish or not. Go and sort out the order of the information first."

Fortunately, they have always had a dedicated person to manage this place, who has recorded the time when each message came in. If Liu Tan had come to check it himself... he would have long forgotten which message came first and which came later.

After Wei Man discovered his mistake, he was smart enough to sort out the order of the information and record it directly.

Liu Tan asked someone to compare the sequence of the messages and then he realized that the whole order was messed up. No wonder he felt strange before. Why were these locations sometimes in the south and sometimes in the north, or they turned around and separated from the east and the west? It all looked like a mess.

However, after sorting everything out, Liu Tan looked at the marching order of the red dots in silence for a while.

Liu Ju looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Tan said with some melancholy, "What kind of boat did Father use? How did he drift to Luzon Island?"
