Chapter 80 is beginning to show its edge
Qi Bin didn't know the danger of this mission, he just hugged Yang Pingfan's thigh recently, Yang Pingfan instilled in him every day, intentionally or unintentionally, the information that Daming was full of gold mountains overseas, plus he did make a lot of money during the trip, so as soon as he saw the request from above to attack and suppress the bandits, he thought that there was oil and water to fish, so he signed up for the first one.
The two of them took two boats, one was Chen Zuyi's scout ship and the other was Qi Bin's warship, and left the fleet in a two-ship formation, preparing to attack in the northwest direction.
The destination of Zheng He's fleet was Ceylon, which was not far from here, Su Yu was already tired of being on the fleet, and he also attacked with him, and Yang Pingfan, as a guard, followed suit.
Before leaving, the indigenous girl who was rescued by Chen Zuyi woke up.
She was very frightened around her, she didn't eat or drink, she made a lot of noise, she spoke the local language, although the fleet was equipped with a lot of Western interpreters, but no one could understand this strange language, and because of the communication deadlock, a person who no one expected to stand up.
She is Yang Pingfan's maid Li Huamei.
Since Yang Pingfan rejected Li Huamei's intention last time, the little girl has become silent, buried herself in work, and didn't even look directly at Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan felt ashamed, and threw all kinds of treasures of filial piety below to her, but only in exchange for her silent tears.
Although Li Huamei didn't take the initiative to speak, she followed behind Yang Pingfan like a shadow, making Yang Pingfan even more embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. At this time, hearing the words of the indigenous girl, Li Huamei stood up from behind Yang Pingfan with the courage to speak a piece of local language in the same tone.
The others were amazed, and after half a ring, their expressions were solemn, and they said to the others, "It's complicated"
"What do you mean by that?"
The slave maid, who also spoke Sanskrit, could probably guess what she meant, saying that it was a group of white-skinned, high-nosed, yellow-haired men who attacked their town. ”
"Isn't that weird?"
Yang Pingfan's mind didn't turn around for a while, and he was kicked by Su Yu.
"Now that it is the Yongle year, and the great geographical discoveries will not begin until more than a hundred years later, do you think it is reasonable for a group of white men sailing ships on the coast of the Indian subcontinent?"
"Uh...... Ah San, I remember that the upper castes are all Aryans, and they are also white, maybe they are bored and rowing out. ”
Su Yu glanced at Yang Pingfan with the eyes of Xiaobai, "The nobles of the high caste are all serving as the emperor of the soil at this time, who do you think will be idle enough to row out and rob a seaside town, or the kind of town that has no oil and water?"
Hey, listening to Su Yu's analysis, Yang Pingfan suddenly felt that there was something strange in it, "Dr. Su, I also think there is a problem when I hear you say this, so tell me, what is the problem?"
"It's hard for me to say the specifics right now, I have to see a real person to make plans, and hopefully it's not the worst outcome. ”
After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Li Huamei, "I'm curious, how can you know Sanskrit as a teenage girl?"
"This is not Sanskrit, I have met a few Tianzhu people, and their Sanskrit is not like this" Chen Zuyi's eyes were full of vigilance.
Li Huamei lowered her eyelashes and said without humility or arrogance, "It's really not authentic Sanskrit, it's Sanskrit with a local accent, and it also mixes a lot of Siamese language." The slave maid ancestor is an official of the Yuanren City Shipping Division, so he is proficient in this language, his father once served in the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of Western affairs, and he is also proficient in this language. ”
The more Li Huamei spoke, the lower her voice became, presumably she was frightened by Chen Zuyi's fierce spirit, and she looked more and more pitiful, Su Yu felt pity, stepped forward and pulled her into her arms, rubbed her hair and whispered comfort, the two of them bit their ears and said for a while, Su Yu added: "Oh yes, that girl's name is Sima Ni, and she also told us a piece of news-
She said that the gang had come ashore on the pretext that there was no food or water, and that her people had welcomed them warmly, and had traded with them with gold and silver, but that a few days later they had suddenly attacked and plundered the whole town, leaving no chickens and dogs.
Chen Zuyi was attacked by hundreds of people, and I asked her, and she said that it might be someone from the town who escaped and moved in to help. ”
"Flutter Mother!"
Chen Zuyi burst into foul language in his hometown, and he was detained in a basin, and he was so angry that he was thunderous.
Yang Pingfan groaned: "If what Ximani said is true, then we can bring her with us, and then we can clarify the misunderstanding." ”
Su Yu nodded yes.
Yang Pingfan looked at Li Huamei, "We are going to exterminate pirates, it is more dangerous, you stay in the fleet." ”
Unexpectedly, the soft and weak Li Huamei plucked up her courage this time, and looked at Yang Pingfan with a firm gaze: "No, the slave maid wants to go with the immortals." ”
"It's not going out to play"
"Only the slave and maid know the local language of Himani!"
——
On the way to the place of the accident, Chen Zuyi came over and said that according to the general pirate style, after doing a ticket, he would run away, but according to the inspection on the shore before going down, it was found that this group of people seemed to lack everything, grabbed everything, and did not even let go of pots and pans, so I felt that they belonged to the insatiable kind, and it was very likely that they would continue to wander near the coastline, waiting for an opportunity to continue to loot, so I suggested that we search along the coastline, maybe we can make a big discovery.
The former pirate professional's speech, everyone on the ship had no objections, and decided to act according to Chen Zuyi's method, but there was still one thing to do, first send Xi Mani back to clarify the misunderstanding.
The group took Ximani ashore, and when they saw that their home was destroyed into ruins, Ximani couldn't help but kneel on the ground and hugged her head and cried, Li Huamei went over to hug her and whispered comfort.
Su Yu looked at the surrounding scene on the side and pulled Yang Pingfan's sleeve, "Do you know? This situation reminds me of the Japanese three-light policy during the Anti-Japanese War" Yang Pingfan nodded in agreement.
Xi Mani is also a strong girl, she quickly adjusted her mood, and led everyone deep into the inland, just a few steps, a few feather arrows flew out of the woods on the side of the road, and were blown aside by the strong wind blown by Yang Pingfan, Xi Mani shouted a few words in the local language, and a few local warriors covered with branches and turf jumped out on the side of the road, their faces were covered with various colors of oil paint, and they looked at them vigilantly.
Xi Mani said a few words, the warriors looked everyone up and down, muttered a few words in a low voice, and Li Huamei said, "He let us go with them." ”
Yang Pingfan nodded, followed first, and the group walked for most of the day, and one of the leading warriors said a few words to Xi Mani, who turned to Li Huamei, to the effect that he didn't trust everyone, and asked everyone to wait here, and he sent someone to invite the elders to come over.
Everyone understood each other's precautionary psychology and nodded in agreement.
