Chapter 396: Unclear Intentions

Six days later, Tang Ming returned to Ryukyu Island in the morning, leaving all the things that needed to be dealt with to Fei Xin, but he sneaked back to his home in Nancheng by himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Watanabe Village couldn't find Tang Ming any trace after the fleet docked, and she couldn't imagine that Tang Ming didn't even take a step in the days since the return trip, and hid in his house all day, and claimed that no one was allowed to disturb him.

Watanabe Village thought that it would be fine in two days, but she couldn't imagine that Tang Ming's hiding would be a full six days, and finally returned to Ryukyu Island, and as soon as the boat landed, his people were gone. This is an iron determination to avoid her, Watanabe Village felt very aggrieved in his heart, stomped his feet and turned around and returned to the boat, anyway, she was determined by Tang Ming, and now she is in his lair, she doesn't believe that Tang Ming can hide for a while and hide from her for a lifetime.

On the flat and clean cement road, the carriage on which Tang Ming was sitting walked smoothly, and he was accompanied by Ji Gang, who returned power to Fei Xin. At this moment, he was hesitating with a bitter face, and he seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't open his mouth.

It has been half an hour since he got into the carriage, and Tang Ming has been looking at Ji Gang who is hesitant like this, until this moment he really can't stand Ji Gang's big man like a mother. squinted his eyes and said: "Just say anything straight, I've been looking at you like this from just now to now, when did you Ji Gang become a girl!" ”

"Master Hou......."

Ji Gang was still stumbling, and when he saw that Tang Ming seemed to be really angry, he hurriedly said: "Zhu Yong and Li Ba have lost their traces, and I haven't seen them send anyone to contact me since the last time they repelled the pirates." I have sent out many people to search for them in the past ten days, but there is still no trace of them, and they seem to have suddenly disappeared from the sea after that day. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ming's brows were about to twist into hemp ropes, Zhu Yong and Li Ba were not worry-free materials, as soon as they left their sight, they immediately came to trouble. Complaining in his heart, Tang Ming was still very worried that something would happen to these two guys.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked Ji Gang, "The weather in the waters around Ryukyu Island has not seen any typhoons or abnormal phenomena these days, right?" ”

Tang Ming wasn't worried that those two guys would be killed at sea, with their five converted pirate ships, even if they encountered an enemy ten times stronger than them, there would be no problem at all in escaping. He was afraid that Zhu Yong would encounter an unpredictable natural disaster, and under the power of nature, the chances of them surviving were very low.

Ji Gang thought about it seriously for a moment, shook his head and reported to Tang Ming: "No, Ryukyu has been calm during this time, and not even a single rain has fallen. But Li Ba and the others didn't know where they went under such circumstances, so I was so worried. ”

As soon as he heard that there was nothing abnormal about the weather, Tang Ming was immediately relieved, waved his hand and said, "As long as they don't encounter irresistible weather anomalies, don't worry about them." I'll ask Fei Xin to look for this later, he is very familiar with this area and should be able to find some clues soon. ”

Hearing Tang Ming say this, Ji Gang was suddenly relieved, and after a moment of silence, Ji Gang suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly told Tang Ming: "Master Hou, there is one more thing!" The angels came two days ago, and now they are staying in the south city, they have been waiting here for two days, should we go and see first? ”

"Angel!"

Tang Ming frowned, then nodded, and after the carriage entered the southern city, it stopped directly in front of the gate of the post house. At this time, a carriage happened to be parked in front of the inn, and two little eunuchs were waiting for an old eunuch to get into the carriage. The arrival of Tang Ming's carriage immediately attracted their attention.

As soon as Tang Ming got out of the carriage, he was seen by the old eunuch at a glance, and a shrill voice suddenly sounded: "Oh, it turns out that Weihaihou is back, and the miscellaneous family is about to go to the dock to find you, so it's okay to save me this old bone bump." ”

Tang Ming followed the prestige, it turned out that he was still an old acquaintance, and the palm-print eunuch beside the emperor put on a smiling face and greeted him with a haha: "I heard that the angel was coming as soon as I arrived at the dock, so I didn't rush here." It turned out to be Grandpa Sun, who could let your old man run in person, could the emperor have something important to tell him? ”

The old eunuch laughed, and after a while, he took out a holy decree from his bosom and handed it directly to Tang Ming, saying, "I don't know what is going on, everyone is an old acquaintance and doesn't do those troublesome etiquettes, you can see for yourself!" ”

Tang Ming was not polite, he stretched out his hand to take the holy decree and nodded to the old eunuch before opening the holy decree, but there was no verbosity in it, only let Tang Ming return to Nanjing as soon as possible. Putting away the holy decree, Tang Ming politely asked the old eunuch: "Does Grandpa Sun know what the emperor ordered to return to Nanjing?" ”

Eunuch Sun smiled strangely, shook his head and said: "The miscellaneous family really doesn't know what the emperor is doing, the miscellaneous family only heard that the imperial city over there in Beiping seems to be about to be built, and the emperor has been in a good mood recently, so it won't be a bad thing to order the marquis to go back!" ”

"The imperial city of Beiping is about to be completed?" Tang Ming snorted secretly, his face full of disbelief.

According to his estimates, it will take at least two years for this imperial city of Beiping to be completed, that is, after Zheng He's third voyage. The speed at which the Imperial City was built was more than a year ahead of schedule, which shocked Tang Ming.

Seeing Tang Ming's look full of surprise, Eunuch Sun said teasingly: "Hou Ye doesn't know, since the Treasure Shipyard turned losses into profits under the management of Hou Ye, the emperor no longer needs to worry about it. It is also possible to spare energy from there and invest in the imperial city of Beiping, where the speed of construction can be so fast due to the large increase in craftsmen and financial resources. Hou Ye is also indispensable in this matter, maybe the emperor ordered you to go back to Nanjing this time, maybe you want to reward Hou Ye! ”

Hearing this, Tang Ming also suddenly realized, but Zhu Di was in a hurry to call himself back, it was definitely not as simple as rewarding himself, and he had no clue what was going on now. Zhu Di asked him to return to Beijing as soon as possible in the holy decree, Tang Ming did not dare to slack off, and after a little discussion with Eunuch Sun, he decided to return to Beijing immediately in the afternoon.

Tang Ming was in such a hurry to leave, in fact, most of the reason was because of the trouble of Watanabe Village, and he decided to leave Ryukyu Island so soon because he deliberately wanted to avoid it.

When they returned home, Ding Ding and Chen Jialan didn't have time to be happy that Tang Ming was back, but they learned that he was leaving for Nanjing, which made the two very disappointed, and Ding even offered to follow Tang Ming. Tang Ming refused, he didn't know what Zhu Di wanted him to do when he went back this time, and he naturally couldn't let Xiao Ding follow him when the situation was unclear. (To be continued.) )
