The fleet arrived at Hakata Bay, Hakata Bay was calm, Tachibana Mountain Castle was also very stable, the huge fleet rested in Hakata Bay for a day, Zhang Zhijie parted from the reluctant Tachibana Zhixue and others, set sail and left the Wa country to sail to the Ming Dynasty.

This time the voyage was the longest time the fleet was away, and it almost missed the monsoon, and many of the fleets that went to sea had already returned to Daming, but Zhang Zhijie's fleet had not returned.

This caused speculation from the government and the opposition, Emperor Zhengde issued several orders to inquire about the city ship, only from the returning fleet to get the news one after another, Admiral Zhang's fleet and the Wa State fought, captured the city of the Wa State, and finally came to the news that there were foreigners attacking Luzon, I heard that Admiral Zhang led the fleet to rescue Luzon again.

Then there was no news, not only Emperor Zhengde was in a hurry, Shouning Hou was also panicked, although there was no bad news, but most of the merchant ships that went to sea have returned, but Zhang Zhijie's huge fleet that went to sea has not returned.

Emperor Zhengde sent his cronies eunuch Lai Yi south to Quanzhou to wait for news, Lai Yi took the little eunuch to the south in a hurry, although he got a lot of hearsay news from the mouth of the maritime merchants in Quanzhou, but did not get any accurate letter.

Lai Yi, who did not get accurate information, was very anxious, and he had to go to the wharf in Quanzhou every day to look, and he was about to turn into a stone at the wharf in Quanzhou! Lai Yi is so anxious not that he misses Zhang Zhijie so much, he and Zhang Zhijie do not have any deep feelings, and they only have awe for Zhang Zhijie, Zhang Zhijie is like a mountain pressing on the heads of all internal officials.

The reason why Lai Yi is so anxious is because the emperor is in a hurry, since Zhang Zhijie went to sea, the emperor has been chattering every day, and he has been chattering for a year, and he has seen the date of return, but the little marquis has not heard from him for a long time, which makes Emperor Zhengde anxious.

Lai Yi was sent to Quanzhou by Emperor Zhengde to wait for news, if the little marquis returned smoothly, it would be fine, if the little marquis did not return, the consequences would be unimaginable! Although this matter has nothing to do with him Lai Yi, the emperor will still take care of this when he is angry, and the results of his struggle in the palace for most of his life will come to naught.

So Lai Yi is really looking forward to the smooth return of the little marquis, I heard that the wind direction is about to change, if you don't come back before the wind direction changes, then 。。。。。。

Thinking of this, Lai Yi couldn't even think about it, so he could only sigh deeply. On the dock, not only Lai Yi sighed, there was a delicate carriage not far from Lai Yi, and a beautiful girl was looking at the sea with a curtain and a sad face.

This girl is Qiaoqiao girl, since Zhang Zhijie went to sea, she often comes to the pier to watch the sea, even if it is a cold winter. Since turning the wind direction and returning to Quanzhou with a fleet of ships sailing to the sea, Qiaoqiao girl began to come to the dock every day, rain or shine, looking at the sea, and waiting for the return of the fleet with joy.

But every time there was disappointment, and then there were no more ships returning from the sea, and the heart of Qiaoqiao changed from disappointment to endless worry.

"Miss, it's almost noon, it's time to go back!"

The Qiaoqiao girl sighed faintly, bit her lip and looked deeply at the sea, and then reluctantly put down her face, and said softly on her lips: "Go back!" ”

The car moved slightly, and suddenly an excited voice came from the side: "There is a boat, there is a boat!" There is a ship coming from the sea! ”

Qiaoqiao girl couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the voice, she knew who this person was, he was the right-hand man beside the emperor in the capital, and he was sent by the emperor to wait for Zhang Zhijie.

Now he suddenly cried out excitedly, and the heart of the Qiaoqiao girl jumped up, and she said urgently: "Stop! Stop it! ”

The carriage immediately stopped, and the girl lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and leaned out to look out at the sea, and found that a black spot appeared on the distant sea, which was slowly growing at a visible speed.

There really is a ship back! Qiaoqiao's jade hand grabbed the curtain hard, the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must bless it, bless this is the smooth return of Admiral Zhang's fleet.

The black dots on the sea in the distance grew bigger and bigger, and finally the true form appeared, this was a huge fleet, hundreds of ships appeared on the sea, and finally attracted the attention of the people on the dock.

Such a huge fleet is only the fleet of Lord Admiral in the entire Ming Dynasty. Recently, there has been a lot of rumor about the delay in the return of the Admiral's fleet in the whole south, and Quanzhou is even more well-known, and even the emperor has issued several orders to inquire.

Now that such a large fleet has appeared on the sea, it is likely that the Admiral's fleet has returned. As the mighty fleet got closer and closer to the dock, the Qiaoqiao girl was excited with her hands on her chest, this was really Admiral Zhang's fleet back!

Admiral Zhang came back, a tear crossed her delicate cheeks, this is a tear of excitement and joy, these days she has been hanging day and night, every day to come to the dock to wait for rain or shine, and finally hope for her sweetheart back.

Lai Yi was also excited, such a huge fleet must be Admiral Zhang's fleet, but it can be regarded as coming back, and finally don't worry about his future! Lai Yi was so excited that he wanted to jump up.

The ships on the dock avoided one after another, and the mighty fleet slowly entered the dock to dock, and Lai Yi had already led the little eunuchs to meet the people of the city.

Finally returned to Daming, this time lasted a year, after several twists and turns, finally returned to Quanzhou. Zhang Zhijie glanced back at the endless sea, and then looked at the familiar Quanzhou Port with emotion, everything is still the same taste, no, it is busier than before!

A column of brocade guards rushed down from the boat according to the knife, Zhang Zhijie walked off the ship unhurriedly, and the people gathered on the dock, including the city ship, the sailor, the brocade guard, and one of them, Lai Yi, who was dressed in a unicorn suit, with a little eunuch was even more conspicuous.

It is not uncommon for the people of the city boss, the people of Jinyiwei, and the people of the sailor to be here, why are there eunuchs here? Zhang Zhijie was very surprised and said, "Huh? Grandpa Lai, why are you here? ”

The waiting officials saluted one after another, and Lai Yi came up and said with a smile: "Oh, little marquis, you can be regarded as back, the palace is about to turn the sky upside down, and the emperor doesn't know how many times he has asked?" The slaves and maids are waiting here for a long time! ”

Before Zhang Zhijie could reply, Lai Yi patted his thigh as if he remembered something, patted his thigh and turned his head to look at Gao Yong and said: "Gao Zhenfu, quickly send someone back to Beijing to report the news, the emperor is still waiting for the news!" ”
