Liu Yong smiled, the two chatted a few more words, and Jia Gang retreated. Jia Gang set sail today, and Liu Yong has to wait for another three days.

However, the three days passed quickly.

The fleet set sail again, and just like the people of the Canton Prefecture, the people of Khomeini Harbor came to see the big ship set sail, and not only today.

Liu Yong's Yongshi attracted onlookers on the day it first arrived, and people came here every day to watch it for nearly a month while it was moored in the port.

The Eternal slowly left the harbor, and the people of the small town waved to the Eternal on land.

Liu Yong stood at the stern of the boat and waved to everyone.

The fleet began its return voyage again, heading straight for the Strait of Malacca.

Liu Yong has already decided that the object he wants to investigate is Singapore. At that time, it was called the Lion City. Of course, Liu Yong is not very familiar with the new Lion City Island, which means that he does not know the history of the Lion City Island yet. In the era of the early millennium AD, he was not very clear whether there was no one to live in and whether there was anyone to manage the Lion City Island.

For this reason, when he was going to go here, he asked the first mate Li Kui about the island at this time, and the Lion City Island is a small island.

The first mate really went to this island and told Liu Yong.

It turned out that at this time, the Lion City Island belonged to the Buddha of Muri, also known as the Srivijaya Kingdom, and they ruled the Malay Peninsula. From the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the later Ming Dynasty, they often went to pay tribute, that is, they have been in contact with the Chinese mainland in the north.

As for this kingdom, Liu Yong still heard about it when he was the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. But it is a pity that he did not experience the tribute of this kingdom.

Since the Lion City Island at this time belongs to this kingdom, and this kingdom worships the northern road very much, this also gives Liu Yong a certain confidence.

He felt that he had decided to pay a visit to the king. But he had to go to the Lion City Island at this time first.

After learning of the situation, Liu Yong ordered the fleet to go straight to Lion City Island without stopping.

At this time, the fleet was not bound by cargo ships, and the speed was very fast, and after more than ten days, it caught up with Jia Gang, who was one step ahead. A few days later, they left Jia Gang far away.

After a little more than a month, they arrived at the island of the Lion City. There was no harbor there, so there was no way for the Eternal to dock near land. His fleet could only sink anchors and anchor in the deep sea a few hundred meters from the island.

Liu Yong and the others could only set up a small boat to row to land.

Lion City Island is a small island, but it is enough for Liu Yong's family.

When you go ashore, you can't get any inhabitants.

Liu Yong, Su Erniang, Yun'er, and the first mate and two deputies, together with a hundred soldiers, poured into the jungle on the shore. It's not unlike Liu Yong's imagination, it's just a tropical forest.

Walking through the forest and seeing a small village, Liu Yong asked people to go in and ask how to get to the town. The language spoken by the locals has some Hindi meaning, which happened to be understood by Muhammad Jr.

After asking for the way, the group headed for there.

It's not far to a small town, but that's not the main city yet. Liu Yong saw that it was still early, so the team continued to move forward. Fortunately, there was a carriage in the town, and Liu Yong bought one for him and his two ladies to sit on. By noon we were in the main city.

If you want to say that it is a city, it is not as small as a small county town in the Great Song Dynasty. It is equivalent to the size of a small county town in the Great Song Dynasty.

A street, some houses of different heights on both sides, the houses are better than the thatched houses in the town, and the architectural style is a combination of India and the Great Song Dynasty, but the wind song of the Great Song Dynasty is stronger.

There were troops in the city, and when they saw Liu Yong's team coming, they blocked them out of the city.

Liu Yong hurriedly asked Little Muhammad to negotiate, and after learning that Liu Yong was a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, he warmly received him. led Liu Yong and a few others into the city, and the hundred soldiers stayed outside the city.

Entering the city, the soldiers directly led Liu Yong and others to the yamen to meet the local officials.

As soon as the officials heard that Liu Yong and the others were businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty, they warmly welcomed them.

Liu Yong felt that his status was very high. I have to say that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are still very popular here. Not just welcome, but respected.

At noon that day, the mayor arranged a big meal for Liu Yong and his party. Although the food is not very good, it still has some taste of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Yong and the others can be regarded as having a meal.

The words spoken by the mayor are very miscellaneous, including Malay mixed with some Indian words, and he can even speak a few words in the Chinese of the Great Song Dynasty.

With Muhammad, communication is less troublesome.

Liu Yong told the mayor that he wanted to meet the king.

The mayor immediately wrote a letter of recommendation and gave it to Liu Yong, and gave Liu Yong a companion order, telling him to take twenty soldiers to the king. Liu Yong is very grateful.

In the evening, the group stayed on the island of Lion City for one night. The next day, he got into a carriage provided by the mayor and went north out of the city to meet the king.

The island of the Lion City is an island, and the king lives in the city of Golden Horse on the Malay Peninsula. They were also to cross the sea by boat. But it's also very close. There was a large ship that carried the man and the wagon to the other side. Liu Yong took out the pass order and went all the way north.

Truth be told, it's sparsely populated, and there's a lot of woods, so you have to walk a long way to see a village.

Then they rested and ate some of the food cooked by the villagers.

After walking for about ten days, I arrived at Jinma City.

This city is also equivalent to the size of the county seat of the Great Song Dynasty. There are walls and moats. Liu Yong handed over the letter of recommendation and the pass order from the mayor of Lion City Island and successfully entered Jinma City. He did not go directly to the king, but first handed the letter of recommendation. Then he went round the city with all the people. The building is still relatively good, but it is not very prosperous because there are fewer people selling things.

It seems that the absolute monarchy here is still very serious. Occasionally, slave trading can be seen on the streets.

A small city, to put it mildly, eat a bag of melon seeds and go.

There is nothing to see, just to an ordinary small city, where it turned out to be the capital of a kingdom, Liu Yong was really convinced.

But he also knew that this kingdom of Srivijaya was just a small country.

Then the group found an inn and stayed. This is already the best hotel, but the largest room is only about 20 square meters. The facilities in the house are not very complete.

It seems that if you want to live comfortably, the palace is about the same.

The palace is not in the city, but in the east of the city, a separate city within a city. It is also surrounded by high walls, and it is heavily guarded, showing the dignity of this royal family.

After lunch, the group went back to the inn to rest.

Most of the people here are Malays, short and thin. Liu Yong is a tall man here, half a head taller than their tallest person.

When they saw Liu Yong on the street, they thought he was a giant.
