"Chancellor!" Dahuang Ma Lu was excited, and shouted regardless of the faux pas: "Minister, I have seen him at the banquet of the Zhou court in the next place, he is the prince of the Nine Lives of the Zhou State!" ”

"Just... What are the nine lives? "Su and Ma Zi don't know much about the Central Plains official system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"He, he, he, he is the clan of the Zhou State, one of the few members of the Yuwen clan, with a noble status, and his father is like a minister in the Zhou State... Slightly inferior to the minister's status in our country..."Dahuang Malu didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only use this method to explain the identity of the other party.

"What did you say!!"

Rao is cultivation that Su I Mazi has experienced, and he was also shocked to get up and ask, Sima Da and the others have also come back to their senses now: No wonder the other people who came to the ferry obeyed this "Yu Langjun" so much.

"Minister, this Yuwen Langjun can't... You can't just leave! ”

"Yes, yes! Quick, quick, you and the village master Sima will go to Hakata immediately and bring this Yu... Wen, please come to the capital!"

"Remember, bring him in anyway!"

Su I Mazi immediately decided, his first thought was to personally rush to Hakata to greet this noble man of the Zhou State, but as the head of the Su I clan, he could not easily stay away from the capital, so he had to send his subordinates to rush there immediately.

The exchanges between the Japanese and the Central Plains powers have been hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Central Plains to the present, although there are not many exchanges, but the monarchs and ministers of the Japanese Kingdom all know that the Central Plains powers look at them in the same way as barbarians.

Even if they sent envoys to visit the Wa Kingdom, they were not interested, not to mention that the Wa Kingdom, Baekje, Silla, and even Goguryeo had long regarded the Central Plains and Southern Dynasties as Zhengshuo, and the Central Plains and Northern Dynasties were also quite dissatisfied with this.

It's just that over the past few hundred years, the national strength of the Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains has been declining, and it seems that it will not be able to keep the country in more than ten years, so the attitude towards the Zhou State is being reversed by the Wa Kingdom, Baekje, Silla and even Goguryeo.

But even so, the Zhou State was still not interested in them, and this time the Great Wilderness Malu sent an envoy to the Zhou State, and he did not see the Zhou court send an envoy to accompany the Wa State, let alone a person of noble status to the Wa State.

But now there's one!

There is a great wilderness Ma Lu to testify, the identity of this Yuwen Wen can be confirmed undoubtedly, Su I Mazi knows that if this Zhou clan can be invited to the capital to meet the king, then it will be a great thing in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

If the Zhou clan can be persuaded to let the Zhou court strengthen its ties with the Wa state, then the two countries can organize fleet exchanges, which can bring in a large number of ferrymen and bring more advanced skills and culture from the Central Plains, isn't this the goal pursued by the Su Wu clan?

There is also a goal, that is, to recover the Renna region on the peninsula, which is the foothold of the Japanese state on the peninsula, but it was captured by Silla more than 60 years ago, if you can get the help of the Central Plains Zhou State, reorganize the troops and horses to regain the lost territory, it is a great achievement.

Without further ado, Sima Da and the others immediately set off for Namba, where they took a boat west to Hakata in Kitakyushu, a distance of several days each way, and the time it took for Sima Da and the others to escort the Buddha statue from Hakata to the capital had already passed for more than half a month.

And Yu Wenwen's ship is about to be repaired, and it will be too late if it doesn't hurry up!

。。。。。。

"The north wind blows, the autumn breeze is cool, whose wife guards the empty house, I will help you if you have difficulties, I live next door and my surname is Wang..."

Yu Wenwen is in a very good mood, and he does not hide that his wives are guarding the empty room, humming the song of the old king next door, standing on the bow of the boat to feel the cold north wind, today's north wind rises, it is a good day to go with the wind.

It's mid-December, and the four boats that survived last month's storm have now been repaired, with their broken hulls replaced with planks, sturdy mainmasts, and new sails.

A number of Japanese sailors were also recruited, especially a few of them who were familiar with the sea routes to the Central Plains, and this fleet of four ships was replenished with dry rations and fresh water, and today sailed on the north wind.

The sea route is dangerous, but he can only go home by sailing across the sea to the southwest, and he has to move forward bravely with hope, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is.

Even if it is a long and thorny road, I will overcome thorns!

Looking at the endless sea, Yuwen Wen was full of pride, and the boat he was on and three others set off from Hakata Port to the south by the north wind, and once again embarked on a journey across the Black Water Ocean.

Later generations sent Tang envoys to the Central Plains, the route was divided into the north road and the south road, the north road was along the west bank of the Korean Peninsula north, and then along the south bank of the Liaodong Peninsula west, across the Bohai Bay to the Shandong Peninsula.

The South Route is a route that passes through the Goto Islands of Kyushu and heads south along Tanegashima, Yakushima, and Amami Islands in the south, crossing the sea to the northwest and landing at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

If you want to be safe, you can only take the northern route, and after returning to the Shandong Peninsula, most of them will be "twisted" by the magistrate Yecheng, and God knows how long it will take to get out, so Yu Wenwen is determined to take the risk.

It saves time and effort by taking advantage of the north wind to go all the way south, but even so, according to the sailors of the Japanese Kingdom who have traveled this route, even if the wind is smooth, it will take about 30 days to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Of course, if the wind is stronger, it is not possible for the fleet to arrive in Hangzhou Bay, but it doesn't matter, when it reaches the mouth of the Yangtze River, it can be regarded as a successful crossing of the sea, so Yu Wenwen can't help but be unhappy.

"Lang Jun! It looks like a ship is coming to us! ”

Hearing Tian Yilong and others say this, he turned to starboard and went northeast, only to see that a boat was not too far away and was heading towards them by the north wind, Yu Wenwen took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the bow of the boat, but saw someone on the bow of the boat shouting something.

One of the old men seemed to be Sima Da and the others, and the person next to him seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, Yuwen Wen always felt that something was wrong when he looked at this formation.

"Guogong, it seems that someone from the Japanese country wants to approach the fleet, do you have to wait a while, maybe the person sent by Mr. Sima said not necessarily."

Shopkeeper Cui asked cautiously, there is no need to hide the title of Yuwenwen now, he saw that Yuwenwen seemed to have some agreement with Sima Da and others of the Wa Kingdom before, so he was afraid that the ship in front of him came for this matter.

"No need, full sails, leave immediately!"

"Guogong, I'm worried..."

"Could it be that the shopkeeper Cui is nostalgic here?"

Seeing Yuwen Wenpi's smiling expression, Shopkeeper Cui hurriedly ordered the ship's boss to command the sailors to operate the sails, anyway, he had fulfilled his obligation to remind, and it was up to the other party to listen or not.

"Envoy, don't you really wait a minute?"

patted Tian Yilong on the shoulder, Yuwen Wen smiled and said: "No need, this official always feels that something is wrong, so don't wait, so as not to have anything, in case any of the Japanese officials want to invite me to the capital as a guest, do you say to go or not?" ”

Yu Wenwen felt that his previous crow's beak could be fulfilled, so he was very cautious, and now he had set sail, and he was never allowed to be tied up by anything, seeing that the ship could no longer shorten the distance between the two sides, he made his entourage shout in unison on a whim:

"If you don't send it, there will be a period later!!" (To be continued.) )
