Chapter 165: Waiting
The night was dark, and the palace was dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in such a late night, a palace still shines with infinite golden light, exuding a solemn atmosphere.
At this time, in the palace, there were several Central Plains people wearing exotic costumes sitting casually.
The leader is still the lean bald old man with open breasts.
When the old man saw that the messenger he had sent out a few days ago had returned, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Did Zheng He ever have any suspicions?".
The messenger first took a sip of tea to quench his thirst for many days, and then his eyes lit up with excitement, "Big brother, little brother is out of the horse, how dare he Zheng He doubt it."
"What did he say?" The bald old man was a little uneasy, so he asked again.
"Big brother, then Zheng He heard that you are going to return to the imperial court, and immediately praised you as a hero, and said that he would have a few glasses of wine with his eldest brother in the future, hahaha."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately laughed.
Then, when the laughter stopped, the messenger leaned his face forward, and said excitedly while gesturing, "Let me tell you, there are so many treasures on Zheng He's ship, little brother, I really have never seen or heard of it. His deck, which is much larger than our entire palace, is actually full of huge treasure chests, and there are so many chests that they can be described as layered, even if I ask my little brother to count the hours, I'm afraid I can't count them."
At this point, the man stretched out his hand and gestured the size of the treasure chest.
After that, he continued, "Big brother, I also saw a few treasures in the treasure chest, and the things there are really... That's a lot of money. I saw several scrolls of bamboo slips inside, and the bamboo slips seemed to have some wind sword technique written on them. Also, there is a bronze sword in some boxes, and this sword, under the sun, is faintly emitting golden light. Big brother, it seems that these people have really reaped a lot of benefits on that immortal island."
As soon as these words came out, even the few people who were listening on the side already had a golden light in their eyes, not to mention the bald old man who did all kinds of evil.
The old man smiled slightly at this moment, he was obviously very satisfied with such a result.
So, he said loudly, "The twelfth of next month is the day Zheng He died!" ”
………………………….
………….
Yongle 5th year, June 12th.
Today, the sky on the sea is gray and misty, which can be described as extremely poor.
For some reason, when the fleet had passed through a sea area, a thin fog appeared in front of it.
But although the fog was thin, it still made the person in charge of the ship waste a lot of strength so that the ship could sail along the main road.
In fact, today, the imperial court originally wanted to take advantage of the good day at three o'clock in the afternoon to formally accept the submission of the thieves.
But now, three o'clock past noon, not only did the royal division of the imperial court not reach the coast, but even the shadow of the port could not be seen.
At this moment, at the bow of the treasure ship shaped like a giant beast, Ma Shouyi, who was dressed in bright silver armor, was frowning and said worriedly.
"Lord Zheng, will it be unlucky if it goes on like this?"
Zheng He was dressed in a red official uniform today, wearing a black official hat, and a royal sword at his waist in his hand, with a majestic and majestic atmosphere.
When he saw General Ma talking like this, he just said calmly, "It's okay."
After speaking, his eyes, which were bluer than the sea, stared straight at the mist in front of him, as if he had seen the crowd behind the mist.
…………………
After a while, I saw a gust of wind blowing, and gradually blew away the mist that permeated the eyes of the soldiers, until the green mountains in the distance and the coast in the distance were exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
Since the fleet was still a long way from the port, all the soldiers standing on the deck could only see the green hills in the distance and the green grasslands surrounded by green mountains.
In fact, the port called Palembang has also had a fleet of ships that have made long stops before.
And Shi Wuwei, who was also on the deck, recalled the original scene when he saw the green grassland in the distance.
He vaguely remembered that at the beginning, Su Wushi had a competition with the man with the giant sword on the edge of this grassland.
And it is precisely because of the results of this competition that a series of tragedies will occur on the fairy island.
At this moment, except for the people in the rivers and lakes on the Qianshan Crossing, everyone on the rest of the fleet was already fully armed and stood at their respective deployment posts to observe the movements around them.
The undercurrent of the seabed pushed the huge ship on the surface of the sea to slowly approach the port.
But now, in the eyes of the soldiers, although the distant harbor can see the crowd of people, these people, who are only the size of ants, cannot see their faces.
But at this moment, although some people's eyes were focused on the group of pirates who were once extremely rampant in the distance, the man on the treasure ship waved his hand in front of everyone.
Later, a soldier beside the man saw him make such a gesture, and immediately understood.
Immediately after, I saw him take a deep breath, and his originally lean chest suddenly swelled to the extreme.
In the end, this person blew the breath in his chest into the huge horn in his hand.
"Woo~~~~~".
An extremely long horn sounded.
Yes, the sound of the horn was only sound, but the sound of the horn, which had not been dispersed for a long time, made the hearts of the 20,000 soldiers on the ship tense.
They knew very well what the trumpet meant.
They know very well that the souls of those who died in Java two years ago will rest in peace today.
They knew very well that these thieves who had committed heinous crimes in this sea area would be punished as they deserved.
……………
At the same time.
When the bald old man in the harbor, and the only one on a white horse, heard the long sound of the horn, the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
He knew that these stupid Da Ming Sailors had already taken the bait.
And the corners of his mouth are laughing at the other party's ignorance and admiring his own wisdom.
In fact, he once bribed many soldiers of the Ming army.
Therefore, he knew very well what this long horn sounded and what it meant.
He knew that the so-called Zheng He had ordered the fleet to dock quickly.
And he knew in his heart that these fleets of the other party would not be able to dock at all, because the other party would be annihilated in this sea by all his men and horses.
The fifteen thousand brothers beside him had all put their arrows on the bows in their hands, and as long as Zheng He's fleet came within their firing range, that is, within one hundred and fifty paces, what was waiting for the Daming sailors would be the shining silver arrow feathers in their hands.
