Tang Ming was very depressed, he thought that he could get into the carriage and travel safely and comfortably, but he didn't expect Zhu Yong, a cheeky guy, to squeeze in. As a result, tragedy struck, the carriage was originally a wooden structure, with very limited load-bearing capacity, and it broke down after running wildly along the way.

And it was so completely broken, he couldn't fix it if he wanted to, there was no way Tang Ming had to continue riding, and most of the blisters on his buttocks were torn upside down, and it hurt so much that Tang Ming grinned all the way to death.

I finally got to Lingshanwei, it was already dark, I thought I could finally rest, but I didn't expect Li Ba, this kid, to continue to move forward with another order, until he came to the beach and sent someone to take a look, and then rushed to Lingshanwei's beach.

More than 30 people rushed at night, naturally they couldn't go fast, and they stopped and stopped along the way, I don't know what Li Ba was looking for at the beach? Tang Ming asked him several times, but he didn't get a response, and only said that he would know that there would be no follow-up later.

"How can there be light on the sea, as if it were several ships?" Zhu Yong, who was bored and looking around, suddenly pointed to the sea not far away and said suspiciously.

Li Ba looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that there were really a few boats parked, his face was happy, and he hurriedly urged everyone to speed up. When they arrived at a small beach, several small boats were already docked on the shore, and more than a dozen people with torches heard the movement and shouted loudly: "Is it Lord Li of Weihaiwei Baihu?" ”

"It's down there!" Li Ba replied loudly when he heard this, and rode his horse to meet him.

"The Governor has been waiting here for a long time, so let's go on the boat with the miscellaneous family to meet the Lord." A sharp voice sounded a little impatiently, squinted at Li Ba for a moment, and then turned around and boarded the boat first.

If there is bitterness, you have to swallow it in your stomach, what else can Li Ba say, so he has to be polite, and when everyone gets on the boat, he quietly comes to the little eunuch who just spoke, holding twenty taels of silver in his hand, and secretly stuffing it into his hand.

The little eunuch tossed in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, gave Li Ba a look that you understand, and walked away alone.

Tang Ming had been paying attention to Li Ba since he got on the boat, and the movements between the little eunuch and him had already been fully seen, so he came to his side and asked quietly, "Didn't the emperor say that I was not allowed to take a boat to Suzhou?" Why did you suddenly change your mind? And is this Lord Zheng He's fleet? ”

A few questions in a row made Li Ba roll his eyes, and he was already dissatisfied in his heart, which naturally had no good tone: "This is indeed the fleet of the Inspector, as for why he suddenly changed his mind and let you take the boat, the emperor's thoughts, your eldest brother, I don't dare to figure it out, and when you get on the treasure ship, you can personally go to the Inspector and ask the old man if you understand." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Ming got out of the basket halfway through, the carriage broke down and the horse was not fast, and the group would have used this time to get here. Early this morning, Li Ba received a secret letter from Zheng He in Caizhou Mansion and ordered him to hurry to Lingshanwei to join him.

The time had already been calculated, but in the end, the trip was delayed because of Tang Ming and Zhu Yong, the two living treasures. When he arrived at the place, he was blackmailed, thankless, and he had to carry something, so it was strange that he could still be in a good mood.

Tang Ming saw that he was depressed and no longer bored, and the ship soon arrived at the treasure ship, Li Ba and Zhu Yong did not get Zheng He's permission, so they could not board the treasure ship, so they could only go to the fleet with their men to settle down.

The little eunuch seemed to have a good impression of Tang Ming, there were people talking and laughing along the way, and he was very polite to him, and sent Tang Ming to the door of Zheng He's study and opened the door for him. Zheng He sat behind the desk when he heard the sound and looked up: "Why did you come at this time, if you delay Your Majesty's big business, you are the only one who asks." ”

After a pause, Zheng He instructed his little eunuch: "Pass my order, and the whole army will set off overnight and rush to Suzhou as fast as possible." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." The little eunuch knelt down and took the order, and did not forget to close the door of the study when he left.

Tang Ming waited for the door to close, and was about to kneel down and sing a promise, but Zheng He suddenly waved his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "It's free, look at your kid's bitter face, and if you don't want to, you will be exempted." Miscellaneous people have heard that you ride a horse with blisters all over your buttocks, so if you have something to say, go and rest! ”

That's all it takes, but your old man called me in a hurry, and now if you don't say it, forget it, and you're going to send me away like this as soon as you come. Tang Ming looked at the chair and hesitated, but he still didn't dare to sit down, not because he didn't dare, but his butt hurt too much, he was afraid that as soon as he sat down, he would get those blisters, and it would be another torture.

Holding his fists and bowing, Tang Ming said depressedly: "The kid has a lot of things that he doesn't know, and I ask the Inspector to relieve his worries, otherwise the kid may not be able to sleep peacefully tonight." ”

"Ask!" Zheng He put away the smile on his face and said seriously.

After pondering for a while, Tang Ming cautiously asked: "Earlier, the emperor ordered me to go to Suzhou to recognize my relatives, and I was not allowed to take the waterway, but now the Governor has come to pick up the boy, I don't know why?" And the white-faced man who stole the grain turned out to be a member of the Heavenly King Sect, why did he come to woo the kid and allow me to hold a high position, I wonder if the Inspector knows what kind of sect this Heavenly King Sect is? ”

There was silence in the study, the atmosphere was a little dull for a while, Zheng He stared at Tang Ming, as if he was caught in a memory, and only after a long time did he sigh and said: "The emperor suddenly decided to recover Nanjing in advance in the past two days, and some plans had to be suspended first. As for the Heavenly King Sect? This is the Jianwen traitor in the folk Yu Party organization, you can not be tempted, when your life hangs by a thread, you can still refuse, the emperor is very appreciative of your performance, and the father-in-law can now tell you the truth, you have passed the emperor's test from now on, with your talent, I believe that it will not take a few years to promote you to serve by his side. ”

Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, grandma's, this imperial power technique is so powerful, as the saying goes, it is not an exaggeration to accompany the king like a tiger. Based on his experience in these days, it can only be regarded as a test in his eyes, but fortunately, he was prescient and was not tempted by Huang Zhan's old guy, and invisibly saved his own life.

And when he learned that Huang Zhan was Jianwen's remnant party, Tang Ming naturally understood the story inside, so he naturally didn't dare to ask any more, and after saying goodbye to Zheng He, he went to find the military doctor on the ship to put some medicine on his poor ass. Why did Zhu Di send troops to Nanjing in advance, Tang Ming didn't bother to guess this, he only knew that after he recognized his relatives in Suzhou, he might go to Beijing with Zhu Di's army.

Historically, at this time, the Jingshi had just gone through the war, and the people there should still be living very hard, should they make some preparations when they were in Suzhou, don't be arrested by Zhu Di to do hard work, it will be worth the loss.
