Chapter 399: Showers Hit Basho
The raindrops hit the banana leaves outside the window, clicking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wind gusted, slipping in through the half-hidden doors and windows, with a rare coolness in the hot weather of the South Seas.
The tropical climate of the South Seas, in August and September every year, is the time when the wind and rain are the most, although the baptism of wind and rain, the weather is very cool in these months, but with the muddy and rugged roads and dense jungles of the South Seas, people would rather not see the wind and rain.
And Ye Yingwu was even a little glad that there were not many storms in the days when the Ming Dynasty concentrated its forces on advancing towards Zhenla, otherwise I am afraid that even if the Xuanwu Army and the Divine Guard Army had the ability to reach the sky, they would have to stagnate in the muddy environment with hidden killing opportunities everywhere.
The warm delicate body of the beautiful woman in her arms writhed gently, with fine beads of sweat on her snowy skin, although it was stormy outside, but after all, Nanyang was still much hotter than Jiangnan, it was originally afternoon, the hottest time of the day, the two of them were obsessed again, and they would naturally sweat.
Zhao Yunshu was lying lazily on Ye Yingwu's chest, his hair was directly scattered, his starry eyes were half-closed, with a confused look, and the flush on his pretty face had not yet faded.
Ye Yingwu said softly: "While it's still early, hurry up and sleep for a while, when Hui Niang finishes teaching Wei'er to study, I don't know how to make a fuss, I guess I don't have a chance to rest." ”
"How can you sleep with such a loud rain." Zhao Yunshu snorted softly, with a seductive charm, which made Ye Yingwu's heart pinch a little. I didn't expect that when I was young, I was invincible in the willow alleys of Flower Street, but today I am going to plant it on this little girl.
Sure enough, she looks beautiful, and everything else can be practiced the day after tomorrow.
However, apparently Zhao Yunshu didn't realize that he was provoking Ye Yingwu's thunderous fire, he just sat up slowly, his graceful and beautiful figure stretched in front of Ye Yingwu, and Ye Yingwu's throat suddenly rolled involuntarily.
Zhao Yunshu also noticed his husband's ill-intentioned eyes, and reluctantly picked up the bedside cherub and put it on, covering the spring light with a fatal temptation. And Ye Yingwu's eyes lost their gaze, and naturally drifted downward.
Obviously self-aware of his husband's virtues, although Zhao Yunshu slept lazily, he still sat cross-legged obediently, and then pulled the thin jacket to cover this guy's gaze. Ye Yingwu suddenly snorted in disappointment, and honestly lay on the bed without moving.
"Whoever plants a banana tree in front of the window, the shade fills the atrium, and the shade fills the atrium." Looking at the rain outside the window, the girl reached out to support her snow cheeks and couldn't help muttering.
Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, then sat up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Ye's heart is full of feelings. Shu'er, the rain hits the plantains, washes away the dust, and leaves a piece of verdant, why is it sad? ”
Zhao Yunshu shook his head: "It's just that when I saw the scenery in front of me, I inexplicably remembered the words of Yi'an Jushi・・・・・・
"Sad pillow on the three more rain, a little bit of rain, a little bit of rain!" Zhao Yun jumped slightly and pushed open the door and broke in. His Royal Highness King Ming and the princess are resting inside, and at this time, I am afraid that the only one who has the ability and ability to knock on the door and come in is this little devil, "Sister Hui Niang just taught me to read this poem today!" ”
Zhao Yunshu sighed and shrunk into Ye Yingwu's arms, Ye Yingwu pulled the quilt and wrapped his wife tightly, even if his wife was seen by his sister-in-law, he was the one who suffered, Ye Yingwu hugged Zhao Yunshu and glared at Wei'er: "Girl, who let you in?" ”
Zhao Yun pinched his waist slightly and said confidently: "You don't close the door in broad daylight, and there is not even a standing guard at the door, can't anyone come in if they want to!" ”
"Wei'er, you go out first." Zhao Yunshu hid in the futon and said in a low voice. Although she has been with Ye Yingwu for a long time, Zhao Yunshu is not the little girl who can't stand holding hands and is shy to hold hands, but the little daughter's attitude will only be revealed when she is with Ye Yingwu, in front of Wei'er, she still tries her best to maintain the image of a majestic big sister, otherwise in the future, no one will really be able to suppress this little demon king.
Wei'er suddenly pouted: "Don't think I don't know what you two are doing, at that time, the father and emperor in the palace dragged so many aunts Hu Tianhu Emperor every night, and those aunts had to go outside the palace gate to thank them when they got up in the morning the next day." ”
Ye Yingwu's face sank, Wang Qinghui had already rushed in, as if she had expected what kind of scene was in front of her, Hui Niang quickly copied Wei'er, and reached out to cover her eyes: "Can you see anything in the child's house!" ”
"Hui Niang, take Wei'er out." Ye Yingwu said lightly, obviously His Royal Highness the Ming King, who was decisive in killing, was already a little angry at this time.
Hui Niang saw that Ye Yingwu didn't plan to settle accounts with her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching the two girls leave, Ye Yingwu let go of his arms, Zhao Yunshu silently pulled Ye Yingwu's coat from the hanger, and didn't care about himself, so he waited for Ye Yingwu to change his clothes first: "Husband, Wei'er is still young, don't be like her." ”
Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned: "When did you meet this little girl in general?" ”
"You're angry." Zhao Yunshu's voice was full of sorrow, and his head was lowered, "After all, although Wei'er has no intention, he is comparing that person with you, he ・・・・・・"
With a chuckle, Ye Yingwu quickly cleaned up by himself, and then took Zhao Yunshu's shirt over: "It's better to always think about the past, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, just say it, why bother with it." What's more, you didn't let your sisters kneel outside the palace gate every day to thank you, at least they weren't so mediocre. ”
Turning around and taking advantage of Zhao Yunshu's defenselessness, he took a sip of incense on her cheek, Ye Yingwu said: "Don't use that person, that's your father, and it's also the father-in-law of a certain old Taishan, although he had all kinds of mistakes during his lifetime, after all, he turned into dust, and his soul returned to the ground, so naturally he would not have anything to do with a dead person, not to mention that as the monarch of the former Song Dynasty, I would like to thank your father for giving up the country." ”
"You have a reason for both horizontal and vertical." Zhao Yunshu said hatefully, "The gloomy look on my face just now almost scared me to death, and I was embarrassed to say it." ”
Ye Yingwu stood up and stretched, and glanced at her obliquely: "Lady, how long are you going to lie in bed?" It just so happened that Xiao Yangzi sent a good thing at noon, let's go and see it. ”
――――――――――――――――――-
"Big brother, are you sure this is food? Why does it smell so bad. Zhao Yunwei stood next to the table, covering her nose and pointing at the strangely shaped fruit on the table. This girl is still young, and obviously she didn't take what she just happened to heart.
Zhao Yunshu gently dragged his sister a little helplessly, and looked at Ye Yingwu: "Husband, don't play tricks on Wei'er, this ・・・・・・ is definitely eating?" ”
The huge fruit on the table was covered in thorns and emitted a faint stench that would not have been thought to be edible by anyone who saw it for the first time. Not to mention Ye Yingwu's so-called food.
Rolling his eyes, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That's because you haven't eaten it." ”
Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu had already picked up the sword and slashed it down.
The huge durian was split by the waist, and the strong smell made all the three girls present retreat. And when they sent this fruit, they deeply realized the "smelly place" of Xiao Yangzi, and they hid so much that they couldn't even see their shadows. Ye Yingwu slowly and leisurely dug out the flesh piece by piece, the light yellow juice and strong stench made people look like they had no appetite at all.
It's just that foodies are foodies after all, Hui Niang has carefully approached it, just glanced at the delicate flesh, as an experienced person, she already feels that she vaguely understands something. Regardless of the taste, such a soft and delicate flesh must have the best taste among fruits.
Seven hundred years ago, the delicacy of durian was not well known, and even many Nanyang people avoided it, if it wasn't for Ye Yingwu who drew a picture and asked for this thing by name, I am afraid that those Zhenla officials who have the heart to pat on the back will not know that His Royal Highness King Ming likes to eat this.
Ye Yingwu led by example, he took a bite first, and then dug out a piece of pulp and handed it to Hui Niang, who hesitated for a moment, and then pinched her nose and took a bite.
"Is it delicious?" Ye Yingwu couldn't care about the juice in his hands, and asked with a smile.
Hui Niang nodded solemnly, and Wei'er finally couldn't help but pounce.
Ye Yingwu was a little helpless, washed his hands in the basin, and walked to Zhao Yunshu's side: "Tomorrow I will go to the border of Zhenla and the lord of the Delhi Sultanate, Shu'er, you are here to take a good look at Hui Niang and Wei'er." ”
Zhao Yunshu looked at the wind and rain outside, and was a little surprised: "I'm afraid the rain won't stop today, is it so anxious?" ”
"The rain clouds are coming from the west, and the weather should be clearer further west." Ye Yingwu said with a smile, "Hurry up and solve the matter of the West, and we can go home." With such a hot and humid weather in Nanyang, sooner or later you will get sick. What's more, if you stay in the south again, you don't know what kind of excitement Kublai Khan is going to make again, so you should hurry back and settle down. ”
Slowly standing up and looking at the wind and rain outside the corridor side by side with Ye Yingwu, Zhao Yunshu smiled and said, "Okay, husband, why do you have to make excuses." If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up when Sister Wanniang gives birth. ”
Ye Yingwu touched his nose a little embarrassed, in fact, this is what he really cares about, and at the same time, it is not the most concerned thing for the government and opposition officials and the people.
"Husband, rest assured," Zhao Yunshu leaned into Ye Yingwu's arms, "The concubine is here." ”
"Hmm." Ye Yingwu responded solemnly and reached out to hug the girl tightly.
――――――――――――――――――――――――-
"The Nanyang sailors found gold in Baguio, Luzon?" Ye Yingwu looked at the piece handed over by Liang Yanwu, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "This Zhang Gui and Wang Da still have a little brain after all." ”
Liang Yanwu didn't hear what Ye Yingwu said, but he had been by Ye Yingwu's side for a long time, so he naturally knew that he didn't have to ask what he shouldn't ask, so he immediately said respectfully: "Your Highness, Luzon has discovered gold mines, so that the imperial court does not have to worry about the construction of Baguio Port, and even the entire Nanyang can benefit from this." Tobe was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Ye Yingwu nodded: "It's not too early, the lord of the Delhi Sultanate has also arrived, let's go over, so as not to be thought that people are taking a fight." ”
The guards of the Hundred Battles have already spread out in front, and there are still brigades of Ming soldiers on guard in the distance.
In the open space in front of us, a platform had been erected, and the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the green scimitar flag of the Delhi Sultanate were hunting and dancing side by side in the wind.
The sky was gloomy, as if there was a heavy rain that was common in the South Seas at any time, and in addition to the usual heat and dryness in the wind, there was finally a hint of coolness. Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, after today's alliance with the lord of the Delhi Sultanate, it is equivalent to determining the relationship between the allies of the two countries, and the consistency in dealing with the Mongol Tartars.
And this Nanyang matter can finally come to an end.
Although Ye Yingwu is not afraid of the heat, after all, the sultry climate of the South Seas is still very unsuitable for people like Jiangnan, who are relatively northern, and thinking about it now, it is late autumn in Jiangnan, and it is the cool time, Ye Yingwu is even more looking forward to it.
This southern tour lasted more than two months, the battle was fought, and the national prestige was also promoted, as His Royal Highness the King of the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to do this, and it was time to go back.
The drum sounded, Ye Yingwu exhaled softly, and walked along the steps towards the high platform.
The so-called alliance is actually that the officials under him have already negotiated various terms, and then they are waiting for the two lords to come over to say hello and make friends. After all, this is an alliance, which is different from the original negotiations between the Ming and Mongolia, the two countries have no territorial disputes, and there are no other contradictions, but they have the same goals and demands in dealing with the enemy, so it is not easy to work at all.
Regarding the signing of the terms, Ye Yingwu really did not interfere, and directly let Zhang Shijie, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the biggest official of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang except Ye Yingwu, be directly responsible. What's more, it's good to use this matter to experience those staff members who will have to be the pillars sooner or later in the future.
"Your Highness." Zhang Shijie walked down the steps quickly to greet Ye Yingwu.
Although Zhang Shijie is in Nanyang, in fact, Ye Yingwu and him have not met, and today is the first meeting between his brother-in-law and brother-in-law in several months. Compared with the time in Nanjing, Zhang Shijie is tanned, and he looks a lot stronger, after all, he was originally the secretary of the military department, and he did not move in the yamen every day, but now he came out to coordinate various military and political affairs in Nanyang, and he went around such a big circle from Annan to Zhenla, it is impossible not to be fit.
Ye Yingwu nodded at Zhang Shijie, he entrusted many affairs of Nanyang to Zhang Shijie, in addition to Zhang Shijie's own ability, in the final analysis, this is his own brother-in-law, and he can use it at ease. The exchange of a smile between the two is enough to make each other understand everything.
"Everything is arranged, please rest assured Your Highness." Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice at the moment, and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Yingwu.
"Brother-in-law, it's hard work." When Ye Yingwu walked by Zhang Shijie's side, he whispered, and then strode onto the high platform. Zhang Shijie glanced back at Ye Yingwu with some astonishment, but immediately showed a relieved smile.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" The Ming soldiers standing on the side of the high platform bowed down at the same time.
At the same time, there was also the sound of mountains on the other side. A middle-aged man dressed in ****** strode onto the high platform, and when he saw Ye Yingwu, his eyes sank slightly, obviously he didn't expect that the Ming King who swept across the South Seas would be so young.
However, as the head of a country in the Delhi Sultanate, Balban is also a man of many storms, and he will not lose his mind for this small detail. After all, for him, the most important thing is to hold on to the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty and solve the most powerful opponent of the Ilkhanate, as for whether he can challenge the Ming Dynasty one day, Balban can't even think about it.
Because he thought to himself, with the national power of the Delhi Sultanate, it was almost impossible to sweep the South Seas. And Da Ming did just that, and it was almost effortless to be light-hearted.
Ye Yingwu smiled at the bearded man with a white cloak and arched his hand: "But the lord of Balban? I am the son of tomorrow, and I will be fortunate to meet it. ”
The person in charge of the translator standing on the side hurriedly translated Ye Yingwu's words.
Balban showed a flattered look on his face, the Delhi Sultanate inherited from Tianzhu, he still knew about the distant and legendary Celestial Empire, and now seeing that the king of the Celestial Empire was so polite to greet him, this was something Balban would never have imagined, and a sense of honor and joy suddenly rose in his heart.
All the people of the Delhi Sultanate, along with their lords, pressed their hands to their chests and paid their respects with ****** courtesy to the conquerors of the South Seas who stood opposite from the Celestial Empire.
Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves and looked at the document of the alliance that was respectfully placed on the table by several soldiers, because it was forbidden to drink alcohol in the ******'s teachings, so there was no blood as the wine of the alliance, anyway, this kind of symbolic thing may not have much to do with it.
What really binds the two countries together is the two pieces of tissue paper on the table.
Or rather, a common interest and a common enemy. (To be continued.) )
