Bidding farewell to the monk Yixiu and politely refusing the fast meal offered by the monks in the temple, Mei Yuning and Ji Yan left Anguo Temple.

The two of them walked like a fly, rushed back to the post house before dark, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the members of the Ming Dynasty envoys were busy packing their carriages and horses.

After asking, I learned that Zheng He had ordered the envoys to leave early tomorrow morning and return the same way.

The two then went back to their respective rooms and packed up.

On the second day, the luggage was equipped, the carriages and horses were ready, and the group passed through the outskirts of Osaka and returned to Half Moon Bay, where the fleet was stationed.

Nothing to say all the way.

Back at the Half Moon Bay camp, Zheng He immediately summoned the experienced sailors in the fleet to discuss.

It was determined that the weather conditions are good now and that you can sail at any time.

Therefore, the decision was made so happily, and the whole army immediately packed up and returned to the ship as fast as possible.

It's May, the situation in the East China Sea is changing day by day, and if it drags on any longer, it will be the typhoon season, and at that time, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not dare to go to sea.

After the envoy team led by Zheng He saw the retort and received the decree that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to clean up the thieves throughout the country, they began to pack up and return to the court, which was also based on this judgment.

More than 100 years ago, the invincible Mongol army tried to capture Japan under the order of Kublai Khan, and organized more than 5,000 large and small warships, but as soon as they landed in Japan, all the ships were destroyed in the typhoon in August, and there was no hope of support, and the landing troops became living targets and prisoners and slaves of the Japanese.

The Japanese called the typhoon that saved their nation "kamikaze."

Therefore, without further ado, the camp tent was collected in Crescent Bay, and all the personnel returned to the ship for the night, and directly anchored and returned to China at dawn the next day.

Compared with the time when Ji Yan and others set off, the sea in May has changed its appearance, and as the temperature rises, the sea water is also alive, and the wind and waves are blowing along the way, and the bumps are endless.

Fortunately, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty envoys are looking for experienced sailing veterans, and after all, there is still a month before the typhoon season, so although the ship is a little harder, it has been sailing for several days, and nothing has gone wrong.

Ji Yan was in his own separate cabin on a Fu ship full of brocade guards at the moment.

Originally, Zheng He asked Ji Yan to return to China on a treasure ship with him, but Ji Yan refused.

The nominal excuse is that he is still the interpreter of Jinyiwei, and taking the treasure ship does not comply with the regulations, and he should still take the lucky boat with other Jinyiwei lower-level personnel, such as the captains.

Actually, the reason was that he thought of the errand he had received before he went to sea.

But although he is in the fortune boat, he is now a celebrity in front of the adult, so no one dares to slack off and enjoy the treatment of a single room.

Ji Yan also specially asked Mei Yuning to also be on this ship, because thinking of the end of this trip to Japan, I don't know when I will meet this strange "friend" again, Ji Yan is also stunned in his heart, so he specially arranged for him to return on the same ship.

He has always been in contradiction, he comes from modern times, knows that Zheng He is a national hero and will leave his name in history, and he follows him out of his heart, and is willing to follow the integration to do something for the country and the nation.

But the errand that night the shadow gave him, and the lingering ghost haunted him, keeping him awake at night.

He could only take one step at a time.

In fact, he had already decided in his heart at this moment that he would go back this time and start investigating the true identity of the black shadow, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and he still needs to complete his errand now.

He sorted out his thoughts before writing, and during this mission to Japan, he had a total of four direct contacts with Zheng He, namely, reporting on his trip to the Ryukyus, interrogating Hideo, the leader of the Ryukyu Japanese Bandits, visiting the emperor and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and watching the execution.

The others are nothing, Zheng He is loyal and patriotic, and in the face of the Japanese side, he is neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and well-founded, and has completed the mission of the mission. The difficulty is that when he watched the execution, perhaps it was the trembling roars that evoked some memories of him, some gaffes, some words that could be made a fuss by people with bad intentions.

Ji Yan recalled everyone who could see that scene, and felt that there should not be another inner ghost, so he decided to take a risk and not write this part.

Having made up his mind, he began to write.

At this moment, he had already finished writing the Ryukyu Report and the Night Trial Hideo on two pieces of paper in chronological order, and was writing about the visit.

Although it was daytime, the wind and waves were not small, and a gust of sea breeze blew, setting off a huge wave, and this lucky boat also struggled with difficulty, and finally turned over the waves.

The jolt just now did not cause any damage to the ship, but the words that were being written in the cabin did, and he had just finished writing the two pieces of paper that had been placed aside, and they were soaked in ink.

Now it's paper not paper, words are not words, it's a mess.

Fortunately, there was no other loss, so he could only burn the two sheets of paper, which had been smeared black and could not see anything, with a fire fold.

Someone knocked on the cabin door outside the cabin and asked quietly, "Ji Tongyi, are you okay with the wind and waves just now?" ”

Ji Yan replied a little panicked in the house: "It's okay, you bother." ”

As soon as he finished answering, he heard a group of people outside cheering and shouting, "Look over there, it's Lu Ting!" A group of Lu Ting is coming! ”

The man then asked outside the house, "I met Lu Ting at sea, Ji Tongyi, do you want to come out and have a look?" ”

Ji Yan was a little curious, what was this Lu Ting, so he put away the written record and walked out of the cabin door.

As soon as he went out, it turned out that Mei Yuning was telling him to make a joke about him at the door, and he was a little flustered in the house just now, so he didn't hear his voice.

But he knew what Lu Ting was, it was just a group of dolphins that happened to swim by their boat, and there was such a strange name as Lu Ting.

Then another wave struck, lifted the bow of the boat, and then lowered, and then set off a wave that soaked the clothes of the people who were watching the dolphins swim by the deck.

There was no way to think about it, so I could only go back to the house and change my clothes.

At dinner that night, Ji Yan didn't see Mei Yuning, and he was wondering, but when he returned to his house, he found that something had happened.

Mei Yuning was in his cabin, and he had a new set of clothes beside him, which seemed to have been brought to Ji Yan. But this is not important, the important thing is that Mei Yuning has a record about Zheng He written by Ji Yan in her hand!

Mei Yuning saw Ji Yan enter the door, first motioned for him to close the door, and then took the letter, her brows furrowed, her voice was still a little trembling, and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to record the whereabouts of the adult? ”

Ji Yan didn't answer him, he stretched out his hand to grab it, trying to snatch back the letter in Mei Yuning's hand, but Mei Yuning had kung fu and dodged it as soon as he turned over.

If you don't look at the expressions of the two, the two of them are now playing a game of eagle and chicken.

One is desperately grabbing, and the other is hiding.

It's a pity that the space in this cabin is small, Rao is Mei Yuning's kung fu, and it is also a dojo in a snail shell, which is difficult to open.

At this time, a gust of sea breeze passed by, the boat swayed with the waves, Mei Yuning's feet were unstable, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Ji Yan saw an opportunity and forced Mei Yuning into a corner.

Seeing the opportunity, he quickly grabbed the target with his right hand, but he didn't catch it, to be precise, he didn't grab the letter he wanted to catch, but grabbed Mei Yuning's chest.

Ji Yan has been single for two lifetimes, and he doesn't know much about the structure of women's bodies, but he has been a man for both lives, and he knows a lot about male bodies.

As soon as he grabbed his hands, he knew that this was definitely not a boy's chest.

Before he could react, a fierce and powerful right hook hit Ji Yan's left side of the face, and he hit him with gold stars in his eyes and fell a little.

However, Mei Yuning's punch did not make Ji Yan amnesiac.

So he remembered what had just happened.

Ji Yan covered the beaten left side of his face with his hand, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide like a goldfish, and he looked at Mei Yuning in surprise, and after a while, he said in a daze: "It turns out that you are a woman?" ”

As soon as Ji Yan's words came out, he really wanted to slap himself with a big mouth, yes, Mei Yuning didn't look like a man in all aspects, he should have thought of it a long time ago, no wonder he couldn't find a daughter-in-law after being single for two lifetimes.

Mei Yuning's face was flushed, her hands were crossed on her chest, her chest was undulating, she was breathing heavily, and she didn't know if she was tired from catching chickens just now, or tired from punching Ji Yan, and she was looking at Ji Yan with complicated eyes.

Ji Yan was a little embarrassed by Mei Yuning's staring, thinking that she wouldn't kill me just because I found out that she was my daughter.

He raised his hands and said with a sad face: "Well, since the two of us are on the ship with secrets, so let's exchange them and tell each other each other's true identities." ”

Mei Yuning was silent, and after a while, she only heard her take a long breath, and finally made up her mind, looked at Ji Yan, and said, "Can I trust you?" ”

Ji Yan said calmly: "Of course, although I am not a humble gentleman, I can still do what I say." ”

Mei Yuning lowered her head again, bit her lip, and hesitated for a while.

In the end, she raised her head and said with a wry smile: "Do you know who this emperor Zhu Di who is sitting on the dragon chair now?" ”、

Ji Yan thought for a while, made a pause gesture with both hands, and said, "Stop for a moment, can I ask another question first?" ”

Mei Yuning was a little surprised and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Ji Yan looked at Mei Yuning with a serious expression and asked, "As a beauty, can you first talk about your mate selection criteria?" ”

When Mei Yuning heard this question, she couldn't cry or laugh, and she asked rhetorically, "You just want to ask this?" Is this important? ”

Ji Yan replied eagerly: "Important! It doesn't get much more important than that! ”

Mei Yuning pondered for a moment, as if she was a little shy, she didn't look at Ji Yan head-on, turned her head to the side and replied softly, "Just ...... Let's just fall in love. ”

Ji Yan was full of suspicion and asked puzzledly: "Round head?" What is this standard? Isn't it okay to be square? ”

Mei Yuning didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, her face was gloomy, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she said to Ji Yan: "Can you be normal?" ”

Ji Yan smiled: "You are wrong, I am the most normal today, and what is abnormal is the previous me." ”
