Brunei Port belongs to Brunei City, Brunei City is the capital of Brunei, although the Zhiyuan ship sailed into the port, but did not dock in the port, because they did not understand the berthing conditions of the port, so they did not dare to berth rashly, Deng Shichang then sent a small boat, let Zhong Xinyuan take the members of the mission, with China's five-star red flag, landed in the port.

Of course, there are ten marines with him, after all, this is a British protectorate, and troops must be brought in case of accidents, Brunei is too small, so small that the British have not stationed troops on it, so the boat went ashore unharmed, and there are many Chinese in Brunei, these Chinese do not believe in Islam, they saw someone carrying the Chinese flag ashore, very happy, and flocked over.

Zhong Xinyuan asked the Chinese to lead the way to the royal palace of the Sultan of Brunei, the road is full of tropical scenery, blue sky and white clouds, coconut trees, golden sand pavement, the men on the road are wearing Muslim robes, women are wrapped in black robes that only show their eyes, the tallest building on both sides of the road is the domed mosque, there is a rule in Brunei: all buildings cannot exceed the height of the mosque.

The port of Brunei is not large, so everyone walked for about ten minutes to the Sultan's palace, in front of the palace stood a dozen guards, each with a long sword hanging from his waist, but the long sword was hidden in a scabbard made of blue and black shark skin, and only the thick hilt could be seen. When those guards saw Zhong Xinyuan and the others coming, they drew out the long sword at their waist and rushed over, pointed at everyone with the long sword and said, "In front is the Sultan's palace, what are you going to do?" ”

Marine Corps Captain Liu Wu casually snatched a long sword and said in surprise: "Is this the legendary Malay sword?" It's so handsome! "The Malay sword is a famous sword produced in the Malay region, and it is characterized by a curved blade that resembles a snake.

The guard was furious when he saw that Liu Wu had taken away his long sword, and Liu Wu hurriedly returned the sword to him, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it's so interesting to see your sword, I didn't hold back for a while." ”

At this time, Zhong Xinyuan asked the interpreter to say: "We are the special mission of Mr. Lin Yuan, the chief consul of the People's Republic of China, and we have something to see the sultan. ”

The guards turned and went in to give an inform, and in a short time they came back and said, "The Sultan has agreed to consult you, please come in, but these people cannot follow." ”

The crowd then followed the guards into the palace, perhaps because Brunei was used to peace, or perhaps because the guards didn't know the Marines' guns at all, so they asked the Marines to bring their guns in. The palace is small, not comparable to the Forbidden City Palace in China, and the royal palace of the Sultan of Brunei is more like a large garden than the majestic Forbidden City Palace, with a stone paved courtyard lined with tropical flowers and plants, many of which are blooming with colorful flowers.

When they came to the door of the reception room, the attendant asked everyone to take off their shoes, and the marines had a hard time taking off their marine boots, so they waited outside, brought a black robe and put it on the Wan'er girl who was traveling with them, and Zhong Xinyuan and the members of the mission entered the palace to meet the Sultan.

The Sultan, a middle-aged man in his forties, was a little surprised to see Zhong Xinyuan and asked, "Is there anything that Mr. Lin Yuan sent you to find me?" ”

Zhong Xinyuan said with a smile: "Eid al-Fitr will be in a few days, Mr. Lin Yuan asked us to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with you." ”

The Sultan nodded and said, "Very well, you and your retinue should go to the inn to rest first, and we will celebrate with you on Eid al-Fitr." ”

Zhong Xinyuan said with a smile: "In addition to celebrating Eid al-Fitr together, we also brought a large order, hoping that the Sultan will agree." ”

The Sultan frowned and asked, "Order?" What is an order? ”

The interpreter hurriedly explained: "It's that we want to buy something from you." ”

The Sultan thought for a moment and said, "Our Brunei is just an ordinary small country, and the people are fishing and farming, so what can we sell to you?" ”

Zhong Xinyuan smiled: "There is oil in the sea near you, we can cooperate in the development of oil here, and we can also build a power plant for you, so you don't need to light candles during the festival." ”

The Sultan laughed and said, "Go and rest first, it's time for the prayer, and I'm going to the mosque to pray to Allah." ”

Zhong Xinyuan pointed to his clothes and said with a smile: "I am also a believer in Allah, won't you invite me to do the faint prayer together?" The Prophet Muhammad once said: 'The best of you is the one who entertains the Muslim brothers'. Muhammad, whose full name is Muhammad, was a prominent political and religious leader who was considered by Muslims to be an Islamic prophet and the last messenger sent by Allah to the earth.

When the Sultan heard Zhong Xinyuan move out of the prophet's words, his face was embarrassed for a while, and he said, "Okay, but you don't seem to be all Muslims, right?" ”

Zhong Xinyuan said with a smile: "Friends who are not Muslims can go and rest first." ”

The Sultan reluctantly smiled and said, "Okay, you come with me, and the other friends go and rest first." Zhong Xinyuan then took the Muslims in the mission to do the prayer, and the others went to rest.

The post house is next to the palace, and few diplomatic envoys come to Brunei, so the post house is empty, and everyone enters the post house, and they all feel a sigh of relief, it turns out that Lin Yuan asked them to pay attention to abide by local customs, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so everyone is cautious, and now no one looks at them can be regarded as relaxed.

At this time, Miss Wan'er said to Liu Wu: "Brother Wu, how did you snatch that guard's sword from you all at once today?" Is it okay to teach me? ”

Wan'er's eyes were full of envy and admiration, and she saw that Liu Wu's face was hot, and she said in a slurred voice, "Okay...... Okay, go find something to use as a sword......"

At this moment, the two of them only heard a man's laughing voice behind them: "You two young people, don't think about falling in love." ”

The two looked back, only to see a slightly fat middle-aged man standing in front of them, this person was a person in the mission, there were a lot of people in the mission, and they couldn't remember everyone's name, but this man's words made the two of them uncomfortable for a while, Liu Wu said with a little hostility: "Why don't you go to rest?" ”

The man smiled and said, "I can see that there will be a war here soon, and you, as the captain of the Marine Corps, are the main force!" Don't think about the little girl. ”

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "There is going to be a war here?" What kind of battle are you fighting? Brunei doesn't even have an army. ”

The man laughed again and said, "Do you dare to make a bet, in the next 36 hours, there will definitely be a war." ”

Liu Wu looked at the strange man in front of him and said, "Who are you?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Young man, aren't you a Marine?" Why haven't you heard of me? ”
