After leaving the country of Dunsun in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, Feng Yi led his delegation south to the country of Gorofusa, which was located in the Strait of Malacca in later times, and its geographical location was very important.

In the southwest of the Malay Peninsula, the city of King Gorofusha was full of people, and when a fleet from the great powers of the Central Plains entered the Strait of Malacca at the end of the first month, it caused a great shock to the local indigenous tribes and states.

Although the locals have heard about the legends of the Jin people from the mouths of merchants from all over the world, it is the first time to really see the envoy from the Central Plains.

Compared with the busy and important waterways of later generations, the Strait of Malacca, although it has the appearance of a golden waterway, is still far from real prosperity. In addition to Wei Shuo, many people, including Liaodong, have not yet realized the importance of the Strait of Malacca.

In recent years, Funan has relied on the strength of the country and has deeply oppressed its subjects. The king of the country was very happy about the arrival of the envoy of Liaodong, Feng Yi, and he believed that if the country could get the support of Liaodong, it would definitely be able to occupy a place in the trade between the east and the west, so as to get rid of the bullying of Funan.

"Welcome guests from a big country!" The king stood in front of the palace to greet Feng Yi and his party in person.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your hospitality!"

Feng Yi did not show arrogance and rudeness when he held himself up, but showed the demeanor of the children of the family everywhere, making those who came into contact with him feel like a spring breeze.

"Sure enough, it's a Shangbang character, and his demeanor is shining!"

The king looked at Feng Yi and the others wearing gorgeous Hanfu and sighed, "Dare to ask your envoy, I wonder if you Liaodong can expand the silk trade with our country?" These silks are highly sought after in the West! ”

"If the king is intentional, it is not a problem, I am sent to Nanyang on the order of General Liaodong Zhenbei, the purpose of which is to establish stable trade relations with various countries. However, the king should know that Funan dominates the South Seas, and their presence greatly hinders the communication between Liaodong and the countries of the South Seas. ”

"Therefore, Liaodong hopes to change the current extremely unreasonable situation in the South Seas, so as to open up a new situation in the South China Seas trade, if a new Silk Road can be opened up from the sea, and a maritime trade channel that has flourished for thousands of years will be better."

"Oh? Is the ambassador telling the truth? ”

The king of Gorofusha was overjoyed when he heard this, and of course he knew that once the maritime Silk Road was realized, the Gorofusha country, which was at the throat of the sea lane, would benefit from it, and perhaps they would soon become rich. As long as there is money. It is not impossible to strengthen the armament and unify the entire Malay Peninsula in the future.

"What? Is your country also interested in joining the trade circle initiated by Liaodong? Feng Yi asked quietly.

"Naturally willing, my country is narrow and has few people, and it all relies on geography to earn commercial taxes, if the Nanyang maritime trade is really developed, my country will naturally profit."

Hearing this, Feng Yi's eyes flashed, and a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. If Liaodong has an attitude of subduing and suppressing Dunsun and Funan, then this Gorofusha country is a complete conquest. As the king said, his country is weak, but it occupies the choke point of the sea.

It's just that the current maritime trade has not yet fully emerged, and all countries have not yet noticed the country, and if Liaodong wants to hold the east-west trade in the future, it must take the Gorofusha country into its own hands.

Although Feng Yi had long regarded the country of Gorofusha as a place that must be conquered, he did not reveal anything on the surface.

I saw that he deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "But as far as I know, the strength of the Gorofusha country is extremely weak, not to mention competing with the Nanyang powers such as Funan, Dunxun, and Zhenla, I am afraid that even the natives on the other side of the strait may not be able to deal with it!" Without strong strength, how can you ensure that the interests of Liaodong will not be infringed upon by Funan! ”

"Your envoy is reasonable, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"

"This ......" Feng Yi hesitated for a moment and continued: "There is indeed a plan to help the king get rid of the constraints of Funan, but I am afraid that the king will suspect that he has ulterior motives, so I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Oh? Is it? It's okay for you to speak, Xiao Wang listens! ”

"I think the king should know that it is impossible for your country to fight against Funan alone, unless you find a force that is not afraid of Funan as a backer. But looking around the world, in addition to Liaodong, who else in the entire Nanyang dares to Funan? As long as the king is willing to let Liaodong station a small number of troops, not only can he deter the countries of Nanyang, but even Funan will not dare to easily get involved here. ”

"Huh? This? I...... I...... I'll think about it! ”

Feng Yi's suggestion frightened the little king of the country of Gorofusha, although he was disgusted with Funan's domineering, but he did not dare to openly invite Liaodong, which had contradictions with Funan, to enter the country. Although Liaodong is not afraid of Funan, after all, it is too far away from Nanyang, and once something happens, it will definitely be beyond the reach of the whip.

Seeing that his suggestion was rejected, Feng Yi was not angry, he knew that the opportunity was not ripe at the moment, and after Liaodong defeated Funan in the future, it would not be possible for the Gorofusha Kingdom to refuse.

……

In the fifth year of Jianxing, in 317 A.D., at the beginning of the first month, in a beautiful Yayuan, surrounded by guards wearing fish scale armor and hanging ring swords, hundreds of guards surrounded the entire garden with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The majestic guard sergeant clutched the handle of his sword, scanning the passing guests back and forth with a sharp gaze. Anyone who tries to get close or has bad intentions will be killed by the guards.

The locals in Liaodong all know that if they can send out the guards to escort them, their identities must be at least at the level of each Cao chief or above. Hundreds of guards were dispatched at once, and they knew with their toes who were playing in the park, and many of them felt that they were avoiding this place.

Through the fences, I saw Wei Shuo's family playing happily with Qinghe's family. The naughty little Wei Zheng was even more happy all over the garden, spilling his silver bell-like laughter everywhere.

In addition, last year, Wei Shuo's wives and concubines added two more children to him: the second son Wei Jun (from You Weiwei) and the eldest daughter Wei E (from Pei Yinger). It's just that these two little ones are still milk babies, and they can only be held by their respective nurses for the time being. At the same time, Gao Juan and Song Yingying are also pregnant, and they should give birth in a month or two.

Wei Shuo and Pei Ying'er, Gao Juan, You Weiwei, and Song Yingying's four wives and concubines sat around and laughed Yan Yan, and everyone's topics seemed to be centered on children, sometimes speaking softly, sometimes heartily chuckling, looking happy. It's just that in a gazebo next to it, Princess Qinghe sits alone.

Princess Qinghe is interested in Wei Shuo, which is an open secret in the Wei Mansion. It's just that because of his identity, Qinghe has not been able to get what he wants. Although Qinghe always felt a little heartache every time she saw a happy scene at a party with the Wei Mansion, she still couldn't help but come to the Wei Mansion.

After joking with Pei Ying'er and the others for a while, Wei Shuo found an excuse and slowly paced under the pavilion, next to Princess Qinghe.

"Princess, why are you sitting here alone? How is your mother? Wei Shuo asked softly.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank General Wei, if you hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to reunite with my mother." Sima Yan'er turned her head when she heard Wei Shuo's voice, looked at Wei Shuo, smiled politely, and said lightly.

"The princess is serious, it's just a gesture, but you can't disclose the identity of your family, and I hope that Princess Haihan will be there."

"Life for decades is like a dream." Sima Yan closed her eyes and read slowly, "Sometimes I really want to be an ordinary person, so that there won't be too many taboos, and I can be with my beloved forever." ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yan glanced at Wei Shuo and saw that the other party was looking at her, her face suddenly became hot, and two blush flew up her cheeks.

Wei Shuo knew in his heart that Sima Yan was very affectionate to him, and he was not a hard-hearted person, how could he be indifferent? It's just that the reality forced him not to rashly include it in the Wei Mansion, but fortunately, it was not without a chance in the future, but he didn't know how to say some things to Sima Yan, so he could only wait in silence.

Pei Ying'er and the others looked at Wei Shuo and Sima Yan, who were talking happily in the pavilion, thoughtfully, but at the moment, no one dared to come forward to disturb, only secretly glanced at them a few times. In private, the relationship between the general and the princess can be written into a novel, and the deeds of the two will be compiled into various wild histories in the future. (To be continued.) )
