Zhao Jia, General Xu, and Hu Yanqing chatted while eating, and when they talked about the Song people who had lived alone on the barren island for several years, Zhao Jia couldn't help but feel a little interested, and wanted to see each other in person.

Zhao Jia and Hu Yanqing were also very curious about Niutou Port, and they were not in a hurry to go to the Song man who had lived alone on the island for a few years, but visited Niutou Port under the leadership of General Xu.

Niutou Port is a new port, and it has not even been officially opened to the outside world, so the scale of the port is not large, and the large port like Guangzhou Port or deep-water port is not comparable at all, and the facilities on the wharf are also very simple, but this is a new port after all, and the throughput of the ship is not large, so the current scale is enough, and on the high ground behind the wharf, there are some tall warehouses built, the whole warehouse is made of cement, very strong, in addition to storing materials, It can even be used as a fortress in wartime, and in the warehouse, a staggering amount of supplies is stored, including food, weapons, cloth, etc.

Seeing that Niutou Port was so well prepared, Zhao Jia was more confident in this trip to Europe, at this time General Xu took them to a military camp, because the entire Niutou Port is under military management, and most of the people here are soldiers in the army, so the residential area here is actually a military camp, and at this time, I saw General Xu open his mouth and introduced: "Little prince, this is where the port personnel live, and the Song people who have lived on the desert island for several years also live here." ”

"Oh? Take me to him! Zhao Jia immediately said when he heard this, he was still very interested in this person, especially how the other party had survived on a deserted island in the past few years, and he was even more anxious to ask the other party in person.

When General Xu heard this, he immediately agreed, and took Zhao Jia and Hu Yanqing to the easternmost courtyard of the barracks. Then I saw him come forward and knock on the door, and immediately heard a sound of footsteps inside, and then the courtyard door was opened, revealing a face full of vicissitudes, and I saw that the other party was about fifty years old, with gray hair and dark skin. Except for being a little tall, the others look almost the same as the natives of Nanyang, but the other party's eyes are very bright, and he has a long beard under his chin, which looks a little polite.

Dong ...... Mr. Dong! You're alive! Before Zhao Jia could speak, suddenly he only heard a surprise cry from behind him, and then a tall figure rushed out, hugging the other party and shouting excitedly.

"You...... You're Gruth! The other party was startled at first when he saw the person rushing over, and then shouted in the same surprise. However, his voice was very dry, and his accent was very awkward, as if he had just learned to speak.

Zhao Jia didn't expect that one of the guards beside him would recognize this Song man who had lived on a desert island for several years, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were still very familiar, which made Zhao Jia even more strange. The escort who rushed over was named Gruss, and it is said that Grus was originally a knight who protected Agnes, and later Agnes became his concubine. Gruss and the others were reluctant to leave, so they became Zhao Jia's side's guards. Usually they take turns on duty, but today only Gruth and other guards protect Zhao Jia.

"Mr. Dong? I think I've heard Agnes say that? Zhao Jia also suddenly thought of something at this time, and said to himself at the moment, but this seems to be a long time ago, so for a while, he really couldn't remember what the identity of this Mr. Dong was.

"Ge...... Grusth, Princess...... Where is it? "After the surprise. The middle-aged man known as Mr. Dong asked again in his strange tone, in fact, he had more questions to ask Gruth, but it was very difficult for him to speak now, so he could only pick out some important and simple questions to ask.

"The princess is here, and I will come to see you soon!" When Gruss said this. Only then did I finally remember that Zhao Jia and they were still here, and then turned to Zhao Jia and said, "Little Wangye, this is Dong Zhong and Mr. Dong who took us out of Europe and came to the Great Song Dynasty thousands of miles away, but unfortunately when we just arrived in the Tianzhu Sea, a big storm caused us heavy losses, Mr. Dong was unfortunately swept into the wind in order to save Her Royal Highness the Princess, originally we thought that he had already died in the sea, but we didn't expect him to be alive, if the princess knew the news, she would definitely jump up with joy!" ”

"Dong Zhong? You're that teacher in Agnes! Zhao Jia finally remembered at this time, he remembered that Agnes had mentioned to him that there was a Great Song merchant who was the first to arrive in Europe, but was unfortunately detained by the Romans, and was later saved by Agnes's father, which made the other party very grateful, so he has been taking care of Agnes very much.

"Little ...... Rajah? Dong Zhong heard Gruth call Zhao Jia at this time, and immediately looked at him with a very surprised gaze, after all, he was just an ordinary maritime merchant before, and he usually had contact with some low-level officials at most, and even Zhizhou was rarely seen, let alone a prince.

Seeing Dong Zhong's surprised look, Gruth immediately gave him a general introduction to Zhao Jia's identity, and told him about the current situation of Agnes, but when Dong Zhong learned that the young man in front of him was actually the son of Zhao Yan, the king of Yue, and also took Agnes as a concubine, he even had a child, which also made him even more shocked for a while.

Zhao Jia also saw that Dong Zhong had a lot to say at this time, but because he had not communicated with people for several years, which led to the deterioration of his language ability, he couldn't say some things he wanted to say, but this was also in a hurry, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Agnes, she had always been haunted by Dong Zhong's death to save her, and now if she knew that Dong Zhong was still alive, she would definitely be very happy.

Gruth immediately rushed to report to Agnes, but after a while, he saw Agnes hurrying with his son Zhao Hua's small hand, and when he saw Dong Zhong in front of the door, Agnes couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Sir!" ”

"Princess!" Dong Zhong also shouted excitedly when he saw Agnes, he was entrusted by Agnes's father to send her to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he was blown into the sea by a storm when he was in the Tianzhu Sea, which made him always worry about Agnes's safety, and now seeing that Agnes was fine, he finally put his mind at ease.

When the old people met, they naturally had a lot to say, but Dong Zhong's language ability had yet to recover, so it was a little difficult to communicate, and this was not a place to speak, at the moment Zhao Jia invited him to his residence with Agnes, and then asked people to prepare a banquet again, General Xu and Hu Yanqing agreed that this was related to Zhao Jia's family affairs, so they left first, so this banquet became a family banquet, and Zhao Jia and Agnes jointly entertained Dong Zhong.

"Sir, weren't you blown away by a storm that day, and I remember how you survived and how did you get here, and I remember that the sea was so far away from here?" As soon as she sat down, Agnes asked impatiently, since the death of her father Henry IV, Dong Zhong has been playing the role of a father in her life, so she has a deep affection for Dong Zhong, and now there is a joy when father and daughter are reunited.

"I ......" Dong Zhong opened his mouth to explain how he survived, but he couldn't say it, at this time Zhao Jia hurriedly asked someone to bring a pen and paper, so Dong Zhong simply wrote down his experience over the years.

It turned out that Dong Zhong was swept out of the boat by the storm, and soon fell into the wind and waves, fortunately he grabbed a large wooden barrel, which saved him from drowning, and when he tied himself to the barrel, he was stunned by a huge wave, and he didn't know where he was blown away, and when he woke up again, he was already floating on the vast sea, and he couldn't even see a boat.

In this way, Dong Zhong drifted on the sea for four days, during which he almost did not eat a drop of water, and finally he was extremely thirsty, and even wanted to drink seawater directly, although he knew that he would die faster by doing so, but he did not want to endure that extreme thirst anymore.

But at this moment, Dong Zhong suddenly found that there were several small islands in front of him, which finally made him desperate to have a little desire to survive, and when he drifted to the island along the current, he finally found fresh water and survived, but it is a pity that although these small islands not far away have water and animals, but only no human beings live, he should be the first resident here, fortunately, the food on the island is abundant, so he survived on the island, and finally even he forgot how long he lived on the island.

Originally, Dong Zhong thought that he would die alone on the island, but just some time ago, he found that every night, the southwest of the island, that is, the sky here on Niudao is relatively bright, obviously there is a fire, originally with the location of that small island, you can't see Niudao, so he didn't know that there was a huge island here, but seeing this firelight made him judge that there should be a lot of land here, and he was worried that this fire was a forest fire. But then he found some household garbage from the ocean current in the southwest, such as rotten wooden boards, glass bottles, and some wooden boards also had Chinese characters on them, which made Dong Zhong finally excited, because he knew that there were likely Song people to settle in the southwest.

With the above judgment, Dong Zhong decided to take the risk, he set up a raft and went into the water, and prepared enough food and water, and floated to this side with the help of the wind, but it took several days to reach Niutougang, and he was finally rescued, and what he didn't expect was that he would meet Agnes and them here.
