Chapter 242: The King and the Eight Kings

"What's wrong? What's wrong, or has King New Koshari arrived? Qu Ping saw Zhao Chengzhang hurriedly trotting all the way over and asked.

Zhao Chengzhang gasped and said, "The Queen of the Three Buddhas came to express her gratitude to us, she came yesterday, and she has been waiting for the prince to come back!" ”

Qu Ping sped up and carried Han'er off the boat and said, "Are you still waiting for me?" Won't you just receive her? ”

"She's a drunkard, she doesn't mean to drink, there must be something else, I want to tell you personally."

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, so I have to hurry up and meet her." Qu Ping said.

When Tyran heard that Qu Ping had finally returned, he hurried out of the cabin lounge and ran into Qu Ping on the deck.

Qu Ping congratulated Tailan first: "Yo! Your Majesty, come and go, slack off! ”

Tailan drank water and did not forget to dig the well, she said embarrassedly: "The prince said this, it is too outward, but you also watched me grow up and single-handedly sent me to the queen's throne." ”

Qu Ping smiled: "The queen is serious. ”

Tailan greeted Xiao Lu and Han'er, who came up later, and ordered his subordinates to bring up a few boxes, saying, "This is a gift for the prince and his wife, and it is not very valuable, please also ask the prince and his wife to smile." ”

Tyran will always be grateful for the clothes Xiao Lu gave him, it was she who made her dare to face her heart.

Qu Ping took the gift and said, "It's too polite." ”

"Didn't I have one?" Han'er raised her head and asked.

Tyran smiled and took an item from the servant behind him, and opened it to reveal a bracelet of tortoiseshell and opal, beautifully crafted.

Tailan squatted down and gave it to Han'er and said, "Do you like it?" ”

Xiao Lu took it and helped Han'er put it on her wrist, and Han'er said, "It's good-looking, it's just a little heavy." Thank you sister! ”

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Lu knew that Tailan had something to tell Qu Ping, so she took Han'er back to the cabin to rest first, leaving space for them to talk and not disturb them.

Qu Ping asked Tailan, "Is there anything wrong with Your Majesty?" Is there any difficulty in the palace? The ministers do not obey? ”

Tyran hesitated for a moment and said, "No." It's just that...... The day of the appointment between the prince and the king of the new Koshari is approaching, and the interests of the Sriwijaya and the new Koshari are entangled, and I think it is necessary for me to take this opportunity to sit down and talk together. ”

"That's it. I don't know what you want? Qu Ping asked.

"As long as he returns to Java, the two countries can live in peace," Tyran said. ”

New Koshari has been invading southern Sriwijaya in recent decades, often harassing and causing headaches. The main reason is that the interests of the Sriwijaya Strait are too tempting, and powerful enemies are like possessing it, or at least being able to get a piece of the pie.

But now that the Great Song Dynasty has set up a military base in Srivijaya, the surrounding pretenders can be stopped.

Qu Ping said: "Since the Song Dynasty has set up a base in the Three Buddhas, it is a relationship with the Three Buddhas. Your proposal is also the result I want. ”

Tyran got a satisfactory answer, and said, "Then thank you Lord Wang!" I ask the prince to allow me to stay on the ship for a few more days, and then I will go back after meeting with King New Koshari. ”

Qu Ping said, "Are you so sure he's coming?" ”

"If I were him," said Tyran, "I would definitely come." Because I don't want to be beaten! ”

Qu Ping laughed. Now the Great Song Dynasty ship is hard and hard, enough to laugh and be proud of the four seas and sweep through the United States!

Two days later, one afternoon, the torrential rain was pouring down, and it was still unabated from the morning to the present. The heavy rain's partner, the wind, did not rest, and the wind and rain combined to beat the ship's board. The sails had long since been retracted, the people on board had taken refuge in the cabins to avoid the rain, and there was not a single pedestrian in the harbor.

The boat swayed from side to side in the waves, and it would be very dangerous to sail overseas in such a strong storm.

"It's the rainy season there, and it's windy, rainy and wave-heavy at this time of year. ”

"It's not going to be a typhoon, is it?" Qu Ping's question caused many people to worry about the future itinerary.

Tyran said, "Probably not...... What does Marquis Zhao think? ”

Zhao Chengzhang can be regarded as having many years of sailing experience, he said: "This time it shouldn't be like this!" ”

It's good if it's not a typhoon.

This way from Hangzhou, every time I take shit luck, just split every typhoon hit, so far the voyage is thrilling.

Even the huge Song ship swayed in the wind and rain.

Han'er hid in Xiao Lu's arms and said, "I'm afraid." ”

"Han'er is fine, don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are here!" Xiao Lu hid Han'er's head in her arms, trying not to let her hear the sound of the wind hula outside.

Tyran wondered what she called "Mom and Dad," but she didn't ask.

A mile away on the sea, three 20-meter-long "big ships" were moving with difficulty, and the strong wind caused the ships to sway from side to side, and several times they looked like they were about to capsize.

The people on the boat rowed the oars as hard as they could, and at the same time struggled to maintain the balance of the hull.

A middle-aged man of more than 40 people on the ship, dressed in a cloak and struggling to command the crew. He raised his head and put his palm over his forehead to prevent the rain from obscuring his vision.

He saw the Song ship three hundred meters away, the huge hull, with a big flag hanging on the top of the mast, the flag struggling in the wind and rain, and he could vaguely recognize the big "Song" written on it.

He perked up and finally arrived. 110 Literature

Although Chinese characters are not commonly spoken in the local area, they are a highly officially recognized script. Sriwijaya and New Koshari usually speak their own indigenous language, but neither of them has their own written language. Only those who have seen the world know Chinese characters, but they cannot read them.

When the man saw Song Chuan, he shouted excitedly, "Row quickly!" In front is the Song boat! ”

Suddenly, a strong wave and a strong wind came together, and all three ships capsized in the sea, and all the people on board fell into the sea.

People came out of the sea one after another, looking for the man who had just spoken.

"King! King! ”

It turns out that man is the new King Koshari!

After a while, a head burst out of the sea, panting for breath as he searched for his companion.

"King! The king is out! ”

King New Koshari beckoned nearly fifty people in the sea and struggled to swim towards the Song boat, shouting for help.

The soldiers patrolling outside heard the call and reported to Qu Ping: "Lord Wang, there is a group of people on the sea who have fallen into the water and are calling for help!" ”

Qu Ping looked at each other, and a group of people fell into the water, which is not simple.

Qu Ping, Zhao Chengzhang and Tailan took the soldiers to the deck with umbrellas, and sure enough, they saw many figures on the sea two hundred meters away, struggling to swim towards this side.

The rain was heavy and the waves were heavy, and the people in the water swam quite hard, and they could have to go back a meter or two if they advanced three meters.

They had swum a hundred meters, and they had been so tired from paddling all the way that several of them had sunk into the sea and could no longer float.

Tyran could understand the voice of the sea calling for help, and she said, "Lord Wang, they are calling for help!" ”

Qu Ping had already seen it, and he ordered the sailors with good water qualities to quickly go into the water with ropes, one end tied to the boat, and the other end connected to the sailor.

Wu Zhishen took off his coat and took the lead to join the rescue team. Over the years, he has practiced diligently, and finally practiced a satisfactory water nature.

Dozens of sailors jumped into the sea and struggled to swim towards the people who had fallen into the water on the opposite side.

Zhao Chengzhang was puzzled: "In this kind of weather, who will go to sea by boat?" ”

Tyran said, "There are so many people, I'm afraid it's the new King Koshari, right?" ”

If it was the king of New Koshari, Qu Ping was a little worried about his life, if the other party died at sea, this game of chess in New Koshari might not be easy to play.

I hope that King New Koshari will have a great life!

Qu Ping said: "The new King of Koshari? Interesting. The king fell into the water and became the king, hoping that he would also have a long life. ”

After half an hour, the people of New Koshari who fell into the water were basically rescued on the boat, and the few who sank into the sea naturally had no way to rescue them.

When King New Koshari got on board, he first counted his own number, and there were only thirty-four people left around him, which was really miserable, and he also lost several generals.

Qu Ping asked the thirty-five people to help them into the cabin, and kindly found clean dry clothes for them to change into, and filled them with boiling water that had already been boiled and brought them to hand.

Now it's time to talk.

King Xinkoshari changed his clothes, respectfully bowed to Qu Xiang, and said in jerky Chinese: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, friend of the Great Song. I am King of New Koshari. May I ask who is the prince of Xiang and which one is the marquis of Jinghai? ”

It's great that King New Koshari can speak Chinese.

Qu Ping handed him a cup of hot tea and said, "I am King Xiang, the one on my left is the Marquis of Jinghai, and the one on my right is ...... She is the new queen of Sriwijaya. ”

King Xin Keshari didn't expect that King Sriwijaya was also here, and he felt embarrassed and ashamed of the way he fell into the water just now, and he was a little embarrassed.

Seeing his predicament, Tyran said, "Hello King New Koshari, I am Tyran, Queen of Srivijayaja. It's great that you're okay, and we're all worried about your situation! ”

When the king of the new Koshari heard her say this, he felt a little better, and said, "I am smiling." ”

Qu Ping asked, "How did the king come from the sea?" ”

King Shinkoshari smiled wryly, glanced at Tyran, and said, "By land, I am afraid of encountering Sriwijaya soldiers, and I am afraid of trouble." ”

"I see. If something happens to the king, the king will be very upset. Qu Ping said.

King Shinkoshari said: "Our country has always revered the Celestial Empire, but our envoy has done such a thing on your national treasure ship, even if the prince does not speak, Xiao Wang must personally apologize to you." ”

Qu Ping didn't expect the other party to be so polite, could it be that the envoy went back and told him about the terrifying power of the Great Song Dynasty, so the new King Keshari had to behave so obediently?

Qu Ping said: "The king is serious. ”

However, Xiao Wang was a little curious, and the prince of Srivijaya was ...... on the ship was killed, so what happened to this queen? As far as I know, the old king of Sriwijaya has no other heirs. King New Koshari couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

Qu Ping said with a smile: "Actually, this is Queen Tailan's plan to confuse the truth, it was the princess's servant who was killed, and the servant is the current Queen of Srivijayaja!" This king has also been kept in the dark for a long time! ”

King New Koshari couldn't help but re-examine this female doll, he didn't expect her to have such a scheming, it seems that his own competition with her in the future will be very interesting.

Qu Ping said: "If the new King Koshari can venture to come today, the misunderstanding between you and me will naturally be resolved. ”

When King Xinkoshari heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Lord Haihan." ”

"However, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity today to mediate the contradictions between your country and Sriwijaya. I don't know, does this king have this honor? Qu Ping said again.

When King New Koshari saw Tyran here, he knew that things wouldn't be so simple. He couldn't help but be cautious in his heart, and asked, "How does the prince want to mediate?" ”
