"If you listen to the voice, you know, I'm a person who is peeing."

Ji Yan was about to turn around and see who was coming.

"You... Don't turn around yet. The man shouted in a panic, his voice seemed to be a little helpless and a little annoyed.

"Why did you run into the wilderness alone...... "The man said in a smaller and smaller tone, until at last it was inaudible.

The stone hanging in Ji Yan's heart fell, thinking that it seemed that this person was quite real, and directly said that he only saw me.

It's good that I didn't see him connect with Liu Xun.

Without any worries, Ji Yan relaxed, and he didn't plan to answer the person in a hurry, so he finished dealing with his own affairs first, packed up his clothes and pants unhurriedly, and then turned around and said:

"My surname is Ji Mingyan, Ji is a plan of strategy, Yan is a word of speech and demeanor, but a person from Nanjing, seeing the flowers and plants in this wilderness is too lonely, so come to accompany them and apply some fertilizer to them."

Ji Yan had also seen the person clearly at this time, only to see that this person was not too tall but not short, probably about half a head shorter than himself, slender, the top of his head was the most common man in the Ming Dynasty with a net scarf, but he was ingenious with light blue instead of black, wearing a blue and white silk shirt on the top, a plain belt waist, a pair of black trousers on the lower body, and a pair of exquisite treasure boots.

This young man's face was gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he was holding a short sword, the sword was about seven or eight inches long, and the sword was out of the sheath at this moment, and he was looking at Ji Yan vigilantly and nervously.

Ji Yan saw that he was delicate and gorgeously dressed, and then looked at his somewhat overwhelmed expression, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and guessed that this person might be a "show boy" raised by a nearby dignitary or a prince and nobleman, and he was bored to come to play near this West Mountain.

It was already dark in the wilderness, so I was a little scared when I saw it.

Well, it must be like that.

Since the soul pierced the Ming Dynasty, such a "son" Ji Yan has seen a few from afar, and he and his colleagues usually gossip in private, which adult is good at this mouth and so on, so although he doesn't know much about this special profession, he is not ignorant.

As far as he knows, these show boys basically just play some kung fu and play with their "officials".

So what if someone comes with a short sword.

Ji Yan was full of pride at the moment because he had successfully teased Liu Xun, so he swaggered and continued to approach him without care, thinking of getting closer and laughing with him.

Ji Yan raised his hands and walked towards this person with a smile while making a gesture of "surrender", and said with a smile: "I'm not a bad person, I dare to ask Gongzi's name, why did I come here?" ”。

Who knows that this person is not the same as Ji Yan expected, not an embroidered pillow that he does not like.

Seeing Ji Yan approaching, the man didn't say a word, he stepped forward quickly, his body was slightly sideways, and before Ji Yan could see what was going on, the bright short sword was already on his left chest.

The man's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said unhappily: "I asked you with kind words, but I didn't expect to be looked down upon by you, ask again, who are you, what are you doing here and running alone in this mountain?" ”

Ji Yan secretly screamed that it was not good, although he was not a weak scholar who was powerless, but he only had a slightly stronger body than ordinary people, seeing that this person was obviously a practitioner, he knew that the current situation was not something he could deal with by force.

After all, firstly, he was barehanded, and others had swords in hand, and secondly, Ji Yan had never learned any martial arts.

Ji Yan smiled and said: "There was a lot of offense just now, I was a person from Nanjing, and I was a member of Zheng He's Zheng Daren's fleet to accompany the interpreter, because I was about to accompany the envoy to the vassal state in the near future, and I don't know when I would be able to return to the country, so I thought about coming to this place to pay tribute to my parents." ”

As he spoke, his hands were still held high, and the corners of his eyes were slightly slanted, and he gestured to his waist.

"There is a waist card as proof."

The man was still staring at Ji Yan vigilantly, and at the same time he reached out and took out Ji Yan's waist card, and after inspecting it, he saw that there was newly glued mud on Ji Yan's knees and trouser legs, and a small fire that had not been extinguished not long ago. I believed Ji Yan's words.

The man was finally no longer so nervous, the short sword in his hand slowly fell, although his eyes were not completely relaxed, he still frowned slightly, but the murderous aura was gone, and he retreated more than a foot.

First of all, the man said: "Offended, in Xia Mei Yuning, like Your Excellency, he is on an errand in Jinyiwei, and he is currently serving as a lieutenant in Nanzhen Fusi, and he has also been assigned to work under Lord Zheng's account, because I heard the news that there are spies of the Japanese in this mountain, so I thought of coming over to check it out." ”

The two north and south town Fu Division yamen under the jurisdiction of Jinyi Wei have different division of labor, the North Town Fu Division is in charge of arrest and prison, and the edict prison that Ji Yan has experienced is under the jurisdiction of the North Town Fu Division.

The common business process of the Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of investigation and intelligence collection, and the common business process is that the people of the Nanzhen Fusi investigate the intelligence openly and secretly, confirm the intelligence and evidence, and then the people from the Yamen of the Beizhen Fusi go to arrest, arrest, and interrogate the punishment.

The two yamen are interdependent, but at the same time they check and balance each other.

Although Mei Yuning was still very wary of Ji Yan and deliberately kept his distance, at this time Ji Yan also knew that he was by no means an official show boy, but Ji Yan was more interested in this captain of Nanzhen Fusi than before.

Ji Yanxian made a deep gesture, expressed his apology, and said: "Where is it, just now, because I missed my deceased parents, so I drank some wine when I came, so that I was immoral after drinking, and I was offended, and I hope that Mei Gongzi will not take it to heart." ”

Following Mei Yuning's words, Ji Yan continued: "I've been here for more than an hour, and I haven't seen anyone else coming. I'm about to go down the mountain at this moment, since you and I are both serving in Lord Zheng's fleet, why don't we go down the mountain and return to the camp together, I don't know what Gongzi Mei thinks? ”

After listening to Ji Yan's words, Mei Yuting arched his hand while retreating, and replied: "No need, there are other errands in the next place, so I won't continue to bother and leave." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the mountains, in the opposite direction to the camp.

Ji Yan looked at Mei Yuning's departing figure in a daze, a little stunned, and said loudly to his back: "The green mountains don't change, the green water flows forever, Mei Gongzi, I believe we will meet in the future." ”

That Mei Gongzi didn't look back, as if he hadn't heard Ji Yan's words, he walked straight to himself, and soon disappeared into the woods.

Ji Yan stood motionless and watched Mei Yuning go away, a little lost, but also quietly sighed in his heart that he was a little lucky, after all, if it wasn't for the one he sang with Liu Xun before, it might not be so easy to fool around when he met this Captain Mei today.

It was already late at night when he returned to his residence, Ji Yan casually found something to eat to satisfy his hunger, because he didn't have a few clothes in total, so he patted the dust on the clothes he was wearing today, and then lay down to rest, ending this tired day.

The second day was the day Zheng He set to leave, Ji Yan didn't have anything to prepare, he didn't have much luggage, and the money was basically spent in the past few days, so he just packed a few clothes and the like that he brought from his home in Nanjing.

I got up early in the morning and had nothing to do, so I went to Zheng He's camp one step ahead of time with my luggage.
