Ji Yan told Mei Yuning that his identity was a traverser, and the true content could be said to be 100%, and there was no element of deception at all.

It's a pity that judging from Mei Yuning's reaction, she didn't believe Ji Yan at all, obviously thinking that she had been deceived.

After all, they said that they would tell each other their secrets, and she could be said to have told Ji Yan what she was doing, the errand she was going to kill her head.

That's a lot of trust.

Ji Yan, this bastard is talking to himself about what "crossing" or "hundreds of years later", Mei Yuning thought to herself I have the heart to listen to you bragging here, why don't you go under the overpass to listen to the story.

It's really bearable, it's unbearable.

Thinking like this, Mei Yuning clenched her fists, glared angrily at Ji Yan, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, frowned and said, "Ji Yan, let me ask you again, who are you?" Why do you want to record the deeds of the Righteous Envoy, I advise you to think clearly and answer again. ”

What can Ji Yan do, he is also very helpless.

Obviously, what he said was true, but no one believed it.

Ji Yan could only clear his throat, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Alas, it is estimated that the wind and waves on this sea have been too strong recently, and my brain has entered too much water, so I have been talking a lot lately." ”

He continued: "I am the Jinyi Guard's experience secretary, and it was my superiors who asked me to record all the whereabouts and conversations of the envoys. ”

Mei Yuning heard that he finally began to speak properly, his clenched fists loosened, and asked, "Your Shangguan?" Experience in the inspection of the school Liu Xun? ”

Ji Yan replied: "He did participate in it, but I guess such a major matter is not something he can decide. I don't know who's behind it at the moment. ”

Mei Yuning's eyes rolled smartly, obviously thinking quickly, and after a while, she suddenly realized that she said to Ji Yan: "I think I know who the mastermind is." ”

Ji Yan was a little surprised, she knew so quickly?

So he asked eagerly, "Who is it?" ”

Mei Yuning snorted, and then sneered: "Who else can command the Jinyi Guard, the chief eunuch Zheng He who investigates the envoys and the chief eunuch Zheng He, apart from the current emperor, who else can there be." ”

Mei Yuning then analyzed to Ji Yan: "My father and I also said that although Zheng He is a eunuch and has been with King Yan since he was eleven or twelve years old, but handing over 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers to Zheng He to lead him to the sea, this is really not like Zhu Di's personality and style, how can he trust others?" ”

Mei Yuning paused, and then said, "So Zhu Di arranged for the people of the Jinyi Guard to keep a close watch on him. ”

Ji Yan listened to Mei Yuning's analysis, and it seemed that he was the head of the way, which was such a truth.

But he vaguely felt that the mastermind behind the scenes was not Emperor Zhu Di, at least not the black shadow that night.

The black shadow exuded a sinister and cunning aura, it was really hard to believe that it was an emperor who was born as a prince, and the emperor needed to raise a house slave whose tongue was pulled out?

It doesn't seem to make sense.

However, Ji Yan didn't interrupt Mei Yuning's train of thought, because he didn't want to explain his secret errand too clearly, he felt that there were some things that he still knew, and he would explain to Mei Yuning in detail when he investigated and found out in the future.

Ji Yan thought about it for a while, and didn't hear Mei Yuning's rest of the analysis, at this time, Mei Yuning also noticed that Ji Yan was distracted, so she stopped and asked, "Did you think of anything again?" ”

Ji Yan straightened out his thoughts, nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know if the emperor is behind the scenes, but I already know one more thing, that is, I am not the only person in the fleet who is recording the deeds of the envoy. ”

Mei Yuning nodded lightly after hearing this, and strengthened her guess, she said disdainfully: "While clearly entrusting important tasks, while secretly sending people to monitor, hum, this is in line with his style of acting as an emperor." ”

Ji Yan listened to Mei Yuning's evaluation of Zhu Di, his heart was actually very complicated, according to his understanding of history, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di should be regarded as a good emperor, went to the West, conquered Mongolia, dredged the canal, repaired the "Yongle Canon", and moved the capital to Beijing.

However, when Mei Yuning talked about her uncle the emperor, she was full of contempt, disdain, and disgust.

This can be said to be the paradox of fate.

Because Mei Yuning's family has a very close relationship with Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, it is estimated that they also have a good relationship with the old ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, but after Zhu Di became the emperor, his treatment of other Jianwen ministers was quite cruel and vicious.

Thanks to the fact that her mother is the daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, Zhu Di estimates that she still has some concerns, otherwise after the end of this martyrdom, their family would have suffered a catastrophe.

Ji Yan couldn't help but think of his colleagues in Jinyiwei who described to him the tragic scene when Jianwen's old ministers were raided and exterminated, and he still shivered in the somewhat sultry weather in May.

Ji Yan looked at Mei Yuning in the moonlight blankly, her eyes were like a clear spring, her skin was like condensed fat, her breath was like a quiet orchid, and there was a heroic spirit in her beauty.

Mei Yuning was born in the twentieth year of Hongwu, and was only sixteen or seventeen years old at this time.

Ji Yan thought that she told all this to herself, but she was entrusting her life, only to feel a surge of blood, shortness of breath, and unsettled, he looked at Mei Yuning intently, and said softly: "Don't worry, although I am not talented, even if I fight for this life, I will definitely protect you." ”

Of course, Mei Yuning didn't know the tens of millions of twists and turns in Ji Yan's heart just now, and he was a little confused by his confession for no reason, and his cheeks were crimson and his eyebrows were red at the moment.

She could also feel Ji Yan's hot eyes staring at her, so she didn't dare to look at the other party directly, so she could only tilt her head to the side and say softly in disgust: "Who needs your protection, you don't know any martial arts at all." I think you're trying to rely on me and let me protect you. ”

Mei Yuning saw that Ji Yan was still looking at herself stupidly, and she didn't reply, so she could only change the topic, and she asked again: "Then what are your plans after you return to Beijing?" ”

Her approach worked.

When Ji Yan heard her say this, his mind was much clearer, and he hurriedly cleared his throat to cover up the gaffe just now, and said: "On that day in Heianjing, Lord Zheng He also asked me about my future plans, and I have confessed my heart to my lordship and am willing to continue to follow. ”

Mei Yuning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that he could be considered back to normal, so she nodded and said, "If Zheng He really wants to go to the West, I think I will go with him." ”

Ji Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time, thinking that he was fortunate to be back to normal.

He was worried that if he annoyed Mei Yuning, it was estimated that a human tragedy of domestic violence would soon be staged in this cabin.

The sweltering heat of May could not last, and it began to rain outside the window.

In the midst of the storm, a fortune ship full of brocade guards was sailing with difficulty.

Looking up, the huge fleet led by Zheng He, more than 200 large and small ships, were all fighting hard against this wind and rain.

The sound of the wind, the rain, the waves, the sound is terrifying.

The entanglement of nature and human beings is now drawing a moving picture in the East China Sea.

In front of the dimness, a light yellow light could already be faintly seen, which was the direction of home.
