Yao Guangxiao got what he wanted, so he left quickly, and Tang Ming was left behind by Zheng He, who was full of doubts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In fact, Zheng He at this moment was not only puzzled, he was shocked. He himself relied on Zhu Di's power and spent ten years collecting nautical charts, whether it was in the hands of pirates or those merchants who came from outside the territory, Zheng He almost never gave up any nautical charts he knew, but even so, he collected nearly ten years of nautical charts, still not as good as Tang Ming's.

This had to surprise him, how did he come to this chart, and today he had to break the casserole to ask the end. And this Tang Ming has been bitten by Zheng He for half an hour, he doesn't know where he offended Zheng He, and he can't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

But Zheng He only stared at him and didn't speak, Tang Ming really couldn't bear this kind of torment, and couldn't help but guess: "Father-in-law, your granddaughter is still waiting at home, don't you want to go and see her!" ”

"Granddaughter?"

Zheng He was slightly stunned, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, only then did he remember that when he went to sea, Chen Jialan was already pregnant, and it would be almost a year, and the child was born as a girl. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he was still happy in general, and the old Zheng family was also a successor.

"The child is still healthy, why didn't Uncle Zheng come with him today?" Only then did he think of Zheng He, the old housekeeper, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, Uncle Zheng's age was not young, a person in his sixties, Zheng He was very afraid that he would have an accident when he was traveling, and he would not even have a chance to meet this old man who had accompanied him for most of his life.

Tang Ming smiled, Zheng He really cared about the little guy in the family, so he was worried for a long time just now, and seeing Zheng He's face sad at this moment, he knew that he was worried about Uncle Zheng, so he explained to him: "Father-in-law, you can rest assured, Uncle Zheng's body is still very tough now, and now the little girl in the family is almost all staring at him, and whoever moves is in a hurry." However, after the father-in-law went back, he had to persuade Uncle Zheng well, so that the old man should not spoil the child too much, it is not good to get used to it in the future. ”

As soon as he heard that Uncle Zheng's body was tough, Zheng He immediately felt at ease, it was not too late for the little guy to wait for the next time to go back and see, he was almost bypassed by Tang Ming just now, but fortunately he knew it. With no longer talking to Tang Ming's ink, he said bluntly: "We'll talk about the family affairs slowly when we go back, and now you have to tell me the origin of this map." ”

Zheng He took out the chart given by Tang Ming from his arms, and threw it on the wooden table in front of him. When he went to sea, he didn't know that this chart was so against the sky, so he didn't care much about it at that time. It wasn't until he was trapped in an unknown sea area and flipped through the charts that he accidentally saw Tang Ming's map and realized its preciousness.

Zheng He searched through all his charts in that sea area but found nothing, only Tang Ming's chart recorded it, and it was from this moment that he began to pay formal attention to this chart. And the more Zheng He walked, the more surprised he was at the accuracy of the charts, and the charts he collected in the past ten years were simply rubbish compared to Tang Ming's.

Tang Ming, who had been guessing for a long time, never imagined that Zheng He would bring up the old matter again, and he had made it clear from the time he sent out the chart that he was not allowed to ask about the origin of the chart. At that time, Zheng He had also seen nautical charts, but he was only surprised by the fineness of the nautical charts, but he did not expect that the nautical charts would be so detailed. Therefore, he readily agreed to Tang Ming at that time, but he didn't ask where he came from.

But now that he knows the preciousness of this chart, Zheng He naturally won't let Tang Ming go again, and his heart has decided not to ask about the origin of this chart today, Tang Ming won't want to get out of this gate.

After carefully looking at Zheng He's expression, Tang Ming already understood that he couldn't dodge this time no matter what, but he couldn't directly admit that this chart was actually a satellite chart from later generations. I guess if I say that, I'll be in even bigger trouble. Fortunately, Tang Ming had already found a good excuse for himself at that time, and at this moment, he could use it to prevaricate Zheng He, a curious baby.

In order to increase the credibility of what he was going to say, Tang Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said with a painful face: "Actually, the origin of this chart is not that I don't want to tell my father-in-law, but that the ancestor has clearly warned that this chart is not allowed to be given to others, let alone know its origin." Even boy, I don't know where this chart came from, but I know that this was given to me by the ancestor to keep it, and the other boys really don't know anything. ”

Hearing this, Zheng He tightened his eyebrows, his eyes had narrowed into a small slit, and the cold light in his eyes poured on Tang Ming's body without any reservations. seemed to be observing the changes in Tang Ming's face, and the life-and-death struggle at sea for a full year made Zheng He's momentum at this moment so powerful that it was chilling.

But in such a vision, Tang Ming gritted his teeth and insisted on keeping his heartbeat, and his training in the past year was not dry. Not to mention Zheng He, even when facing Zhu Di, he was already able to talk nonsense with his eyes open without his face blushing and his heart beating. Although Zheng He's eyes were extremely sharp at the moment, Tang Ming could still barely cope with it.

Sure enough, after Zheng He's observation was fruitless, he had to believe what Tang Ming said just now, but he still didn't give up and asked: "Does your master also like sailing, and the first time I met you was on that barren Weihai Island." I think that your master should also be a person who has a passion for the sea, otherwise there would never be such a vast and delicate chart. ”

Master Gao is just talking nonsense, Tang Ming knows whether he likes sailing, but Zheng He has found a good excuse for himself, Tang Ming naturally pushed the boat and said: "The master does like sailing, the kid has followed him for more than ten years, and since he was sensible and remembered, about half of the time has been running on the sea." That's why the kid is very familiar with the sea area near Daming, but he has little understanding of the inland of Daming. ”

Zheng He nodded, he completely believed Tang Ming, in his mind, only people who had a soft spot for the sea would bother to draw sea charts. Perhaps Tang Ming's ancestor was a man who had been sailing the seas since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he had such detailed charts.

Solving the doubts that had been entangled in his heart for nearly a year, Zheng He instantly felt more relaxed, the only pity was that Tang Ming, the ancestor, did not know that he was still alive, if he could discuss the matter of sea navigation with him, he would definitely let himself know and understand more about the sea.

Although the idea is good, the reality is cruel, Zheng He finally faced the reality, let Tang Ming go, and turned around to be busy directing the unloading of the cargo of the nearly 1,000 ships. (To be continued.) )
