Ji Yan's whole body was buried in the sea water that had just passed his buttocks, holding his breath, he wanted to see if he could swim through a method similar to muscle memory at the moment, so he was in this water, his feet off the ground, and he fluttered blindly with his teeth and claws.

He himself knew what he was doing.

But Wang Xi didn't know, from Wang Xi's point of view, that is, Master Ji was annoyed because he had no fish to eat, and he couldn't think of looking for a short view, so he shouted "Master Ji" while trying to lean towards Ji Yan.

Although Ji Yan heard Wang Xi's shouting, he decided to ignore him first, he estimated that if he told Wang Xi, Wang Xi would definitely stop him, or stand by his side to protect him, so that he would have no way to know whether he could swim or not.

So Ji Yan pretended not to hear, but still stuck his head in the water, and kept paddling his arms and legs in the water in an irregular manner.

But his muscles didn't seem to have any memory at all, and he tossed in the water for a long time, not a foot of swim out, but he drank a few sips of the bitter seawater.

Slowly, Ji Yan's hands and arms seemed to have found all the tricks, he put his fingers together, his fingers were at right angles to his palms, he was hunched over, like a lobster, and his limbs kept shaving.

He miraculously floated.

Ji Yan is excited, he can swim!

It's just that this swimming style seems to be different from the breaststroke and freestyle that I have seen before.

But don't worry about that for now, just be able to swim.

At this time, Wang Xi also walked to Ji Yan's side with great difficulty, and grabbed Ji Yan's sleeve tightly, for fear that he would not be able to think about it again. Wang Xi gasped, patted his chest, and said, "Master Ji, don't think about it." Fish, there will be. ”

Ji Yan didn't care what Wang Xi thought, he was very happy, and said excitedly: "I won't look for a short-term view, come, let's continue to catch fish." ”

Wang Xike didn't do it, he didn't agree, saying that Ji Yan was soaked, and he had to catch a cold again.

Ji Yan was dragged back to his camp by Wang Xi, took off his wet clothes and hung them, and covered himself with a thin quilt.

Wang Xi was very attentive, he deliberately went to the room and asked them to get fish for this wayward master to eat.

Ji Yan wanted to give Wang Xi some fish to eat together, but Wang Xi's head shook like a rattle and resolutely refused to eat it.

After a full meal, Wang Xi brought a bowl of ginger soup from the room and watched Ji Yan finish drinking it before leaving.

Ji Yan was full of food and drink, his whole body was warm, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

In the middle of the night, Ji Yan was sleeping sweetly and was woken up by Wang Xi.

It turned out that Mei Yuning and others had come back with the captives, and they were making the adults want to interrogate them, so they had to ask Ji Yan to translate.

The clothes had been dried, Ji Yan hurriedly put on his clothes, and followed Wang Xi out of his tent.

On the way, Wang Xi told Ji Yan that the two merchants he invited had also arrived, and Wang Xi specially woke up the man and cooked a delicious meal for the two of them.

Ji Yan expressed his gratitude to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi also said that Zheng He had not slept until now, and had been dealing with official affairs.

After hearing this, Ji Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is not easy for adults to be sincere.

This is exactly what it is, with great power comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes less sleep.

Ji Yan followed Wang Xi and trotted all the way, and in a moment came to the door of a tent with the door wide open and the interior was brightly lit.

The two turned over and entered the account.

Ji Yan saw that inside the tent, Zheng He was standing in the center, and in front of him was Hideo who was kneeling with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and Mei Yuning and two stout sergeants were standing behind Hideo.

Zheng He saw that Ji Yan was coming, pointed at Hideo and said, "You have interrogated this leader before, but you haven't asked anything, have you?" ”

Ji Yan bowed and replied, "Yes, he won't say anything. ”

Zheng He nodded and said, "Then you ask him, he has killed Chinese." Then he said to the two sergeants behind Hideo, "Let him speak." ”

The two sergeants took the cloth out of Hideo's mouth as ordered.

Hideo returned to the territory of Japan, as if he had changed as a different person, of course, perhaps because he passed by Zheng He's fleet barracks on the way to escort him, which gave him some irritation.

As soon as the cloth was taken out, he stared at the blood-red eyes, almost frantically shouting: "I have killed, of course I have killed, as long as I grab your Chinese ship, not a single one will be left alive, if it is not for the last time I listened to the words of the second boy, even the batch of Chinese who transported the glass, none of them could run." ”

This thief really understood Chinese, and when he was captured in the Ryukyus, he only spoke Japanese at that time, so much so that Ji Yan thought that he didn't understand Chinese, which was really treacherous.

Mei Yuning and the soldiers who escorted the captives heard him shouting these arrogantly, and they were all furious at this moment, and their hands were on the hilt of the sword, just waiting for Zheng He's order, and they were about to cut off the head of the dog thief on the spot.

Hideo then shouted hysterically: "Why do you Chinese drive warships and run to our Japanese land with so many soldiers and horses!" Sooner or later, one day, we will kill you all! ”

Mei Yuning was really angry, and directly stretched out a kick and kicked Hideo to the ground.

Hideo fell to the ground and glared at Mei Yuning viciously.

Zheng He didn't say anything, just looked at the captive with disgust.

Ji Yan took a step forward and said righteously: "My Ming envoys were graciously invited by your king, just as the envoys of your country have also visited my Ming, this is called an exchange of courtesies. We came to Japan, not to set fire to murder, not to commit adultery and plunder, but to do everything as the Lord pleased, and to respect your customs and feelings, and to be a mighty and civilized teacher. Only an indiscriminate murderer like you would think that we are here to do evil. ”

It's just that Hideo at this time couldn't listen to what Ji Yan was saying to him, and lay on the ground, like an earthworm, squirming and scolding constantly.

Ji Yan then pointed to Hideo who was scolding loudly, and said to Zheng He: "This is what Xia Guan said, the symptoms after being brainwashed, he is already a terminal illness, and there is no cure." ”

Zheng He watched all this silently, and never spoke, probably thinking that talking to such a miscellaneous person was dirty his mouth.

With a grim expression, he gritted his teeth and pointed at Hideo's mouth at the two sergeants behind him.

Seeing this, the two sergeants immediately plugged the foul mouth that was spraying feces with a cloth.

Then Zheng He didn't say anything, and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Everyone followed Zheng He out of the camp, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside, the waves were crashing on the shore, and the breeze was blowing, as if they had returned to the world. Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if the air in the tent just now was filthy, and had been polluted by the breath exhaled by the murderer.

Zheng He turned his back to everyone, silently looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and after half a pillar of incense, he said slowly: "I know that you want to kill this person now, but he is still useful for my mission to Japan this time." After that, he turned around, faced everyone, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Zheng He is willing to guarantee you with the head of the master, and he will definitely let them pay for their blood debts." ”

And all of them saluted and obeyed.

Zheng He waved his hand tiredly and said, "Everyone has worked hard today, let's go back to the camp to rest." ”

Mei Yuning naturally returned to the military camp to which Jinyiwei belonged to where she was originally located.

Ji Yan returned to his camp in a solemn mood, Ruan Zhong and Lin Anhe saw him come back, and immediately came up to express their gratitude first, and then described the military camp and fleet vividly.

But after experiencing everything just now, Ji Yan really had no intention of laughing with the two of them, he only felt that his whole body was several times heavier, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep without waking up at the moment, so he only casually coped with two sentences, saying that he would take the two of them to visit again tomorrow.

Ruan Zhong, Lin An and the two of them were running around the world, and they were naturally sophisticated, and when they heard that Ji Yan had already said this, they suppressed their excitement first and lay down.

The next day, the wind and the sun were beautiful.

After a night's rest, Ji Yan felt much lighter and his mood was much better.

He led Ruan Zhong, Lin An and the two to have breakfast in the camp and walked around, and then the three of them stood on the shore to admire and comment on these amazing Daming treasure boats.

While discussing the different sizes and models of ships, Ji Yan saw Feng Che and other interpreters appear on a ship, and at this moment they were standing on the deck lazily stretching and basking in the sun.

Ji Yan remembered that he was going to ask them what happened to them in the Satsuma Domain, so after instructing Ruan Lin and the others not to wander around in the barracks, after seeing the treasure boat, he went back to the camp and stayed, and went back as soon as he went, and then found a leaf boat and rowed to the boat where the interpreters were.

By the time Ji Yan landed on the deck, the interpreters had already returned to the cabin.

Ji Yan walked into the cabin, and the atmosphere inside was originally very lively, but when he saw him coming, he immediately cooled down.

It was Feng Che who spoke first, and he greeted:

"Ji Tongyi, we have already heard that you broke the Ryukyu Japanese this time, and you also captured all the thieves alive and brought them to the tent of Lord Zheng, and made a great contribution."

Ji Yan waved his hand modestly and said: "This is a mistake, everyone is an official of the imperial court, and it is the same to ask for the country's life, Ji Mou is just a ......"

Without waiting for Ji Yan to finish speaking, Feng Che unceremoniously interrupted him and said, "We are also on an errand under the account of Lord Zheng, so let's not be polite, and ask Ji Tong to tell us how to find the thieves' nest and how to use the plan to capture them." Let me wait for the generals of the defeated army to learn and understand the translation. ”

Ji Yan was also good-tempered, didn't say much, and patiently told them about his encounter with Mei Yuning, Ruan Zhong, Lin Anhe and other four people in the Ryukyus.

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said seriously: "This is all that has passed." ”

After hearing this, Feng Che said with a smile on his face: "Listening to Ji Tongyi's words, I understand, it seems that Ji Tongyi is just a little luckier than me, I thought that Ji Tongyi is so powerful." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, everyone echoed it again and again.

Ji Yan originally wanted to say that he actually had another plan, that is, after the boat was ready to leave, he would light a fire outside the house at night, in the direction of the sea breeze, and send the lit smoke to the courtyard.

However, he was too lazy to answer them at the moment, and he no longer wanted to ask them what happened to the Satsuma Domain, he just wanted to leave the cabin as soon as possible, away from these people who could only talk about things and talk on paper.

The mud can't hold up the wall.

He smiled and replied, "I am indeed very lucky, but have you not heard a famous sentence once spoken by a sage?" ”

Feng Che didn't know why, and asked, "Which sage?" What famous sentences have you said? ”

Ji Yan looked serious, and said word by word:

"Luck is also part of strength."

With that, he got up and left the cabin where the interpreters were, without looking back.
