Leaving the ship where the interpreters were, Ji Yan returned to his tent, Ruan Zhong and Lin Anhe were sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him, and when they saw Ji Yan entering the tent, the two of them immediately got up and greeted them, and after expressing their gratitude again, the two of them were about to say goodbye to Ji Yan.

Ruan Zhong still couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "Brother Ji, you are really righteous this time, otherwise I, Ruan Zhong, and others would not be blessed to enter our Ming military camp to have a look in this life." In the future, brother, if you encounter any difficulties, but if I can help, brother, you should speak as soon as possible. One day, if you go to the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong, go to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to report my name, and all the seniors there can also help you. ”

When Ji Yan heard Ruan Zhong mention the word "Maritime Chamber of Commerce", his heart moved, and he asked, "Your Maritime Chamber of Commerce, is it easy to find it in Qingzhou Mansion?" ”

Ruan Zhong said with a smile: "It's not difficult to find, you can just find the Qinghai Guild Hall when you go, we often drink and talk over there." ”

Ji Yan silently wrote down the name in his heart.

Lin Anhe also smiled at Ji Yan and said, "Brother Ji, not only did you help us, the merchants who ran the Ryukyus, but also treated me so kindly, and I don't know how to thank you." With that, he took out the usual Hongwu Tongbao from his arms and stuffed it into Ji Yan's hand.

Said with concern: "I see that your luggage is only a few thin coarse cloth clothes, this is not much money, brother, you accept it, it is a little bit of our two incompetent friends, you go buy some clothes." ”

Ji Yan refused at first, but he couldn't withstand the persuasion of the two several times, and finally accepted this heavy and consistent copper coin.

Before leaving, the two also specially told Ji Yan that this Hongwu Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty is particularly popular overseas, because of the sufficient copper content, good workmanship, and exquisite design, it is a common currency in Japan, Ryukyu, and North Korea, and merchants especially like to receive it.

Seeing off Ruan Lin and the others, Ji Yan felt empty in his heart.

At this moment, he may be the only "lonely person" among the tens of thousands of people in this military camp, Zheng He needless to say, he is entangled in a bunch of affairs, Wang Jinghong is still in the city at the moment discussing with Japanese officials the specific arrangements for Zheng He's meeting with the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Mei Yuning is on an errand in the Jinyi Guard Camp in Zheng He's army, and he himself has already thrown off the other interpreters in the morning, and even Wang Xi must be waiting by Zheng He's side and has his own things to do.

But Ji Yan thought about it, this is also the first time since he came to the Ming Dynasty that he has completely idle, he has his own time, and he doesn't have to cook and eat by himself, he can treat this period of time as a rare vacation, treat this military camp as a high-end sea-view hotel, and his own camp tent as an invincible sea-view king's suite. When I think about it, I think what meaningful things should I do during such a precious period of time?

The answer is sleep.

This person's spirit has been tense for several months, and suddenly he can completely relax for a while, and he will be very sleepy, as if our body can adjust itself and want to make up for all the sleep that we haven't slept before.

Ji Yan slept when he was full, got up when he was hungry and went to the room to find something to eat, and then lay down or sleep, and lived like a pig.

On the morning of the third day when Ji Yan became a pig.

He's in his own circle, oh no, snoring in the tent.

Ji Yan only felt that a person was shouting his name while shaking himself vigorously, trying to turn himself back into a human being.

He opened his bewildered eyes, and Wang Xi's big head came into view.

In just a moment, Ji Yan changed back to the state of a human being, and he knew that Wang Xi must have come to him because Zheng He had something to see him.

Ji Yan immediately got up, poured cold water into his mouth and rinsed his mouth, and then washed his face by the basin.

Wang Xi over there was not idle, and while Ji Yan was busy, he explained to Ji Yan the purpose of running to Ji Yan's circle to wake him up.

Wang Jinghong has returned, and the envoy is going to ask him to come over and attend the meeting on the itinerary of this envoy.

Wang Xi and Ji Yan entered Zheng He's camp one after the other, and there were already many people standing on both sides of the tent, one side looked at the military generals, who had tested the civil officials, and Zheng He was standing behind a simple desk facing everyone, and Wang Jinghong was standing on Zheng He's left hand.

Wang Jinghong saw Ji Yan coming, nodded with a slight smile, and said hello, Wang Xi led Ji Yan into the account, signaling him to stand at the bottom of the civil official, and then bowed and retreated out of the account.

Ji Yan glanced at the civil and military generals standing on both sides, and he didn't know any of them, yes, he was not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting before, after all, he was just a small official with no rank and no taste.

Zheng He looked at Ji Yan and stood up, pointed his finger at Ji Yan, and said: "This is the Ji Yan Ji Tong Translator I just mentioned to you, Ji Tong Translator is brave and strategic, understands Fanbang affairs and Japanese, so I also invited him to participate in this meeting." ”

This is even a simple introduction, when Zheng He said, the other people present also turned their eyes to Ji Yan at the same time, and in front of everyone, our Ji Yan felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, Ji Yan thought that Zheng He would introduce other adults to him later, but he didn't.

Zheng He directly turned the topic to the main topic of this meeting, and he said aloud: "The specific schedule for our mission to Japan to meet the Japanese king has been negotiated by the deputy envoy Wang Jinghong and the Japanese side with my consent, and the following ...... will be followed." ”

Wang Jinghong bowed and replied, "Yes." Then he turned to everyone and said, "The Japanese side only allows no more than 200 of our attachés to go to Heiankyo, so most of the men and ships will be stationed here and wait for our return." ”

After saying this, Ji Yan saw that the general's side was a little restless, and it was obvious that they were not very satisfied with this result, but they did not dare to attack in front of Zheng He.

Wang Jinghong didn't pay attention to this restlessness, cleared his throat, and continued: "Before tonight, the envoy and I will sort out a list of two hundred attachés, which will be sent to your tents at that time. Tomorrow morning, we will depart from this place, and we will go to Osaka on the first day, and then from Osaka, and we are expected to arrive in Heiankyo in two days. ”

The meeting was very efficient, and after Wang Jinghong finished speaking, there was no objection, or someone had objections in his heart but it was useless, and it was directly over. After everyone finished saluting, Ji Yan was about to leave with the others. Wang Jinghong left him.

"Ji Tongyi, you can stay for a while."

Zheng He approached Wang Jinghong, whispered a few words to Wang Jinghong, and then left the big tent with the other adults.

Only Ji and Wang were left in the tent.

Wang Jinghong smiled and said, "Congratulations to Ji Tongyi for making the first contribution to Japan. He paused for a moment, and then said: "The list of two hundred envoys, Ji Tongyi, you are naturally among them, I don't know if there are any other people who recommend them?" ”

Ji Yan didn't hesitate and blurted out: "Captain Jinyiwei, Mei Yuning." ”

After that, I regretted it a little, as if I was too anxious.

Wang Jinghong looked at Ji Yan meaningfully, then smiled and lowered his head and began to write in a booklet on the desk.

Ji Yan really wants to explain at this moment, but it's not what you think, Lord Wang.

However, Wang Jinghong didn't say anything, so Ji Yan didn't know how to open this mouth first.

After all, an explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth.

After Wang Jinghong finished writing, he held the pen in his right hand, looked up and said: "Okay, I also heard the envoy mention that you and this Captain Mei, one scholar and one martial artist, have a very tacit understanding of running errands together during the trip to the Ryukyus. Anyone else? ”

Ji Yan thought about it, in this mission, except for Mei Yuning, he can still be named with that group of interpreters, but after experiencing the previous incident, hehe.

Ji Yan waved his hand and replied, "No, no one else needs it." ”

Wang Jinghong was slightly surprised, but it was only a flash, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you can ask Captain Mei to come now." ”

Ji Yan took a step forward, made a gesture, and said, "Xiaguan still wants to ask a question first." ”

He has always had a small question in his heart since the beginning of his trip to the Ryukyus, because Zheng He is more serious, he doesn't dare to ask, so he just took advantage of this reason to ask the good-tempered Wang Jinghong.

Wang Jinghong was really a little surprised this time, and asked, "Oh? What's the problem? ”
