Just as Wang Lun left the dock and returned to the city, on the fishing boat coming from the north, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a capable expression was looking at the twenty or thirty huge ships moored on the dock, thinking about it.

At this moment, the sentinel boats cruising on Jeju Island had already approached these dozens of fishing boats, and the man came back to his senses when he saw this, and shouted in a somewhat stiff Chinese dialect: "Islander Zhao Xian, I am from the same clan to deliver fish to the adults!" ”

This aboriginal who can speak Chinese has been here three or five times, and the little leader of the patrol post has some impression of him, and Ou Peng once ordered that these islanders be allowed to enter the city to trade, and the people on this sentry ship did not embarrass Zhao Xian, but said: "Today is not as usual, don't rush, follow me and land!" ”

Zhao Xian nodded again and again, claiming that it was, and after seeing the sentinel ship sail to the front of the fleet, Zhao Xian loudly told the same clan behind him in the local language, and was busy for a while, and then sat down to rest. At this time, the eyes of the other islanders on the boat were full of admiration and admiration, and some fishermen hurriedly handed over water for this great hero of his clan to quench his thirst and moisten his throat.

I saw Zhao Xian take the water, but he didn't drink it first, just walked to the stern of the boat and respectfully handed it to a sick young man. This person is like Zhao Xian, he is a little short, but the arms stretched out to catch the water look delicate and fair, which is completely different from the dark-skinned fishermen around him.

The man took the water but didn't mean to drink it, just motioned for Zhao Xian to sit over, obviously having something to say. Zhao Xian was very deferential to this person, and there was no nonsense at the moment, so he sat directly next to this man.

A smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, and he said to Zhao Xian: "Fortunately, we have you, otherwise we would have the disaster of extermination!" ”

Zhao Xian was a little surprised when he heard this, not that he was surprised by the content of these words, after all, people have been saying similar things to him these days. To his surprise, the noble man in front of him was communicating with him in half-baked Chinese, and Zhao Xian subconsciously glanced back at the others on the boat. Immediately, he also replied in Chinese: "The prince thinks too highly of me, if these troops from the Song Kingdom have the heart to destroy my race, they can't be defeated by just a few words!" Not long ago, the Goryeo sailors proved that there were 3,000 dead and wounded, almost the same as our islanders! ”

The man who was called the prince of the world nodded and sighed: "Three thousand people of Goryeo were wiped out in one battle, if it is not good for us, I am afraid that you and I will not have the place to talk here!" I grew up listening to stories about my voyages, and I was very curious about this country. It's just that they are so close to me this time, and I am suddenly a little scared! ”

Zhao Xian was shocked when he saw this, and he was busy trying to comfort this prince, but he was stopped by the other party, only to see that this young descendant asked very solemnly: "Only you have been to the Great Song Dynasty, and now you tell me, why are these Song people here?"

"When I met with a revered lord of honor, I listened to him. He was a subordinate of the Generalissimo Jinghai of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was sent by the Emperor of the Song State because of the uneven sea frontier! Zhao Xian thought about it and said again. Rest assured, I can feel their kindness! ”

"What kind of kindness?" Shizi asked.

"It's a feeling of intimacy, completely different from the momentum of the Korean people. The Koreans recently destroyed our name, although they retained the name of the star lord and the son......" Speaking of which. Zhao Xian was silent, as if he realized that he might have committed a taboo.

Seeing this, the prince smiled bitterly and said, "You are the most daring person in my clan. Now that the future of my whole clan is pinned on you, and these armies from the Song Dynasty only recognize you, my father and son no longer have the ability to control your life, what else can you not say? Besides, you watched me grow up, and you taught me Chinese, so what are you afraid of? ”

Zhao Xian didn't even dare to say it, and after shirking it for a while, he hesitated to tell the truth: "I don't want to completely arouse our resistance, the tribute that should be handed over has doubled compared to before, because the rights of the star lord and the prince have not lost too much, so you will not resist, if you don't take the lead, the clansmen will have no way, and the Koreans can ask us for everything to a greater extent through you!" Timber, fish, prey, and even women...... But we don't see any of this from the Song people, who encouraged us to sell them everything we could in exchange, who had such a powerful fleet, and soldiers who were very proficient in the water, but who bought fish from us, and exchanged them for precious grain, as well as the goods we requested, would they not know how to fish? I don't think so, they're releasing a kind of goodwill! ”

"Where does this kindness come from?" The prince was puzzled.

"When I met with the Lord of the Song Kingdom, he took a good piece of paper and wrote four Chinese characters on it, and the Star Lord was shocked at first sight, saying that this is not exactly the same as the one engraved on the cliff on the island. Later, after listening to this adult's explanation, I learned that the road is called 'Xu Shi over here', which means that a long, long time ago, a person named Xu Shi made a stay on our island, this person is very famous, the first emperor sent overseas to find fairy grass for a thousand years before the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Xian said very hard, after all, many words were newly learned, and Shizi had even more difficulty listening to them, but he could faintly feel from the words that his clansmen might have some kind of blood relationship with the adults from the Great Song Dynasty, which made him suddenly a little proud.

"Can you tell me what my father and this lord talked about that day?" The prince said to Zhao Xian very sincerely.

"That lord stated in advance that he was only a subordinate of the generalissimo Jinghai, and the star lord proposed to meet the generalissimo, and the lord agreed to report it at that time, and then everyone said some kind words! The lord asked the star lord about our situation, and when he heard that there were more women and fewer men in our clan, he expressed his willingness to intermarry with my islanders and marry forever, but the star lord did not express his position at that time, and the lord did not force him, and he gave a lot of gifts when he left. ”

Zhao Xian didn't hide it, he and the prince in front of him had a bit of a taste of being a teacher and a friend, but this small country similar to a tribe didn't pay so much attention, otherwise a high position of the third prince would not be able to escape.

"Father is still worried about Goryeo!" Knowing his father, Mo Ruozi, only heard the son of the world sigh softly, "A hundred years ago, our clan suffered a great blow, tens of thousands of people died (the last volcanic eruption on Jeju Island in history), it was easy to recover some vitality, and the Koreans came to bully again, and now while the generalissimo of the Great Song Jinghai is here, it is not easy to make friends, and I only care about hesitation, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity when the time comes!" ”

The prince talked about the fault of the star lord, Zhao Xian was really not good at interjecting, fortunately, at this time, the fishing boat under his feet had arrived at the dock, Zhao Xian hurriedly asked the prince to get off the boat first, and then ordered the islanders who came with him to lift the goods and enter the city first, he deliberately left behind and accompanied the prince.

"When will we be able to build such a big ship?" Because there was no one else around, the prince sighed in the local language this time. Looking at the giant ships on top of thousands of materials, Shizi couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.

"Don't talk about us, even Goryeo is rare to build such a sea ship, the world doesn't know, ordinary sea ships, sink when they enter the water. But the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty, even if there are several cabins leaking, can still sail safely! So the ships of the Song Kingdom were large and safe, where was Goryeo their opponent? Zhao Xian said. I saw a bigger ship in the Song Kingdom more than ten years ago, but unfortunately the Song officials handed me over to the Koreans to send me back to the island on my behalf......"

After this exclamation, Zhao Xian didn't speak again, he lowered his head all the way and didn't know what to think, the prince didn't interject, just kept looking at the surrounding environment, the two followed the team to send fish for a while, and finally found a majestic city tower appeared in front of him, Zhao Xian is okay, he has seen some of the world, but the son of the world has lived in a stone cave since he was a child, lived in a grass house, where has he seen such a majestic building, he was amazed when he saw the giant ship just now, and he couldn't help but sigh at this time: If you can stay in it for one night, you won't lose anything in your life! ”

At this time, the city tower of the four gates of the new city has been repaired, but the city wall has not yet started, it is the prince who misunderstood it, Zhao Xian saw that he smiled, there was no interface, and he only cared about the prince to the city. At this moment, I suddenly saw a fast horse galloping not far away, and immediately a big man was very familiar, Zhao Xian saw him coming towards him, hurriedly said hello to the prince, hurriedly rushed forward, and said: "Mr. Li catches the head, the villain is polite!" ”

"Lao Zhao, we heard that Taishou said, please come to the house in the evening, what do you think?" Then the knight got straight to the point.

Zhao Xian subconsciously glanced at Shizi, saw him nodding slightly, and immediately said: "My lord, how dare you disobey!" There is Lao Li always catching the head, and he will reply for the villain, I will definitely visit at night! ”

The knight nodded when he saw this, rode away, and the prince looked at his distant back and said, "What a big man, his horse is even more majestic, much stronger than the mount of the Goryeo general I saw earlier!" Only how can this person look different from other Song people? ”

"I heard that the Song Kingdom is tens of thousands of miles away, and the residents don't know tens of thousands, and there are many people from other Fan countries who have settled in him, maybe this is from Fanren!" Zhao Xian explained.

"What does he do?" Shizi asked.

"His surname is Li Mingyun, and he is the chief catcher in this city, that is, he hunts down thieves, and he has five hundred catchers, all of whom are in the city, because I have come many times, so I know him!" Zhao Xian replied.

"He is a fan, he can be a head catcher and manage five hundred subordinates, it seems that this Song country is not strict with Fanren!" Shizi sighed thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
