Hou Ye's idle life did not last long, the fleet had already reached the sea area of the stick country, and did not directly enter the stick country but stopped the fleet at sea. When such a fleet first arrived, it still made the emperor and ministers of the stick country nervous for a while.

Thanks to Tang Ming, he asked Fei Xin to reveal his identity early, which saved him from a misunderstanding. But he only said that he was a businessman, a businessman with the identity of a marquis, and this time he came with a large number of materials to make a big deal with the stick country.

After the officials who received Tang Ming learned the news, they quickly went back to tell the emperor, and after the courtiers and the emperor discussed together, they agreed to meet Tang Ming.

At first, the emperor and ministers of the Bangzi Kingdom were still skeptical about Tang Ming's identity, but when they learned that Tang Ming had three treasure ships in his fleet, they no longer had doubts. With this treasure ship, it is definitely a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, if Tang Ming is really not the Hou Ye, he will definitely not be able to own these five treasure ships.

The most direct manifestation of a country's strength lies here, especially those wanderers. It's like Tang Ming at this moment, if he is not the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, but comes from a small country that is weaker than the Stick Country, then it would be strange if someone from the Stick Country would take care of him at this moment.

In the end, Tang Ming was still stained with Zhu Di's light, and he himself did not deny this, he wanted to do so from the beginning.

The fleet only allowed Tang Ming's ships to enter, and the others had to be docked in place, and they had to be supervised by the Stick Country. This is a normal practice in etiquette, Tang Ming has no objection to this, and sits alone on a treasure ship to dock with the officials who lead the way.

The capital of Bangzi Country is Seoul, which is still some distance away from the sea, so Tang Ming did not immediately go to meet the emperor of Bangzi Country, but stayed at the post house at the dock to rest overnight and set off tomorrow.

The stick country belongs to the sub-kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, and its emperor is at most on an equal footing with a prince in the Ming Dynasty. And Tang Ming, as a Hou Ye, although he is only a nominal Hou Ye, he is still treated very well here.

Even the officials who received him were important ministers of the court, not cats and dogs sent casually. He is a little old man, he should be about 50 years old, and his height is about the same as Tang Ming, but he is very thin, so thin that he only has skin and bones.

A long horse face looked very obscene, especially those small eyes, which emitted a fine light when looking at Tang Ming. This kind of old man is the most difficult to deal with, Tang Ming's first feeling about him is this.

"Tang Hou, please rest here for a while, and then go and arrange dinner!" The old man claimed to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his name was An Deshan.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although Tang Ming was very unaccustomed to the old man's appearance, he still politely replied politely: "Lord An is polite, please feel free!" ”

An Deshan withdrew from the room on his own after giving up his hand again, Tang Ming's youth was much beyond his expectations, and his beard had not yet grown, and he was definitely not more than 16 years old. Such a big boy is actually Hou Ye, if this person is not a genius, then his Hou Ye must be hereditary.

can look at the five treasure ships in his fleet, this is definitely a family with a huge power in the Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely no harm in befriending this kind of person. An Deshan thought very thoroughly, he wanted to get benefits from Tang Ming, so it was essential to take the opportunity to curry favor.

Originally, he was going to ask someone to get something to send to Tang Ming, but now he changed his mind and ordered his entourage to go to a nearby restaurant to order food, but he left the post house by himself and disappeared into the vast night in a sedan chair.

Tang Ming wanted to go out for a walk after taking a bath with Li Ba, this is the first time he has come to this stick country, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of the time to go shopping? Besides, if he wants to do business here, he naturally has to understand the customs here first, and being prepared has always been Tang Ming's criterion.

During the voyage on the ship for a few days, he always lived on dry food, and Li Ba had already faded out of his mouth, and when he heard that the Hou Ye was going to take him out for a walk, he was happy to crack his big mouth to his ears.

Eight guards followed, leaving two in the post house, and six followed Tang Ming to prepare to go out together. As soon as the group stepped out of the post house, they met Ande Mountain, who had gone and returned, and the old man politely asked Tang Ming where he was going, and even said that it was his fault, and he did not fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

In order to apologize to Tang Ming and contact his feelings, the old guy took the opportunity to invite Tang Ming to the banquet. The old man said that this banquet was because the subordinates of their Ministry of Rites wanted to know Tang Ming, and specially arranged to invite Tang Ming to go anyway.

Tang Ming had no intention of attending such a hypocritical banquet among officials, but when he thought that he was a newcomer, he would not be too offended by others, and besides, taking this opportunity to meet a few more people would also be of great benefit to his future plans.

agreed to An Deshan's invitation, and sat in another sedan chair to go to the banquet with him. An Deshan did not put the banquet in the hotel, but took Tang Ming all the way through the street, and only got out of the sedan chair in front of a big mansion and invited Tang Ming to walk in with him.

In Tang Ming's opinion, the tall mansion gate was no different from some palaces, but there was a plaque above the gate with three big characters written on it. It's a pity that Tang Ming doesn't understand the words of Stick Country, and he doesn't know what is written on it?

When you enter the gate, there is a large courtyard in front of you, why do you say big? Because this courtyard can be compared with a small park, except for two rows of corridors, it is full of rockeries and trees, small bridges and flowing water, and some flowers and plants.

Seeing this, Tang Ming's first feeling was that the owner of this house was definitely not a mortal, and then he saw that the corridors on both sides were decorated with golden splendor, and there were guards with knives patrolling and guarding. There were many maidservants and servants.

Such a scene is almost as fast as Zhu Di's palace in Nanjing, this is obviously not what An Deshan said, what subordinates set up a banquet to entertain him, the marquis. Tang Ming, who was unfamiliar with the place, had to raise his vigilance, and secretly gave Li Ba a look, asking him to be ready at any time.

An Deshan is not the owner of this house, which Tang Ming can see from those servants or guards. Although the guards were very respectful to him, they were not so reserved when they met their masters.

The puzzled expression on Tang Ming's face, An Deshan naturally knew, he didn't say anything Tang Ming didn't ask, and still followed him silently. This made An Deshan look at Tang Mingling, he was indeed a person who had seen a big scene, and there was no person in a high position with this calm kung fu alone, and there was absolutely no Tang Ming's performance at the moment.

Walking through the long corridor and coming to a three-story wooden building in the backyard, An Deshan finally stopped, turned around and confessed to Tang Ming, and entered the wooden building alone. (To be continued.) )
