Under the walls ahead, two groups of soldiers are clashing. In the blink of an eye, one of them was slashed to the main force, and only a few remnants struggled to escape, and the other team of victors quickly chased after them. Behind the victorious soldiers, several men in armor and ornate helmets rode on horseback, led by one looking around with a smug smile on his face.

Hu Fei quickly lowered his head and hid his figure on the wall, and after a while, he carefully poked his head out and looked over again, and saw that the person had turned his gaze away, so he bent down to the staircase and went downstairs lightly.

In the downstairs hallway, an Indian man in his twenties and thirties was whispering to a few people, and when he saw him coming down, he asked with his eyes. Hu Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I see that the third prince has a lot of momentum, and his troops are also the strongest, so I'm afraid the chance of winning is the biggest." Brother Mohammed, you better find a way to leave as soon as possible. ”

The man lowered his face and glanced at the others. Only then did he say to Hu Fei in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "I have to go, good friend, what should you do?" ”

"I'll have to go back and report to the top to find out what to do, maybe I'll have to ask you for help. About that incident......" Hu Fei didn't continue, just stared at the man.

The man understood what he was referring to, and nodded solemnly: "I will do it." ”

Hu Fei smiled and made an Indian salute, then quickly picked up a traditional white turban produced in Agra (note: the capital of the Mughal Empire), wrapped it around his head, opened the small door, looked out in the left and right directions, closed the door with his backhand, and hurried into the street with his head down.

He walked next to the buildings on both sides of the road, avoiding a few patrolling soldiers, and walked through the deserted neighborhood in the direction of the embassy.

When he set off, he never thought that he would encounter today's situation, and every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, they set out from Liujiagang (now Taicang) and passed through Fuzhou, Jilong, Luzon, Champong, Jiugang, Manlaga (Malacca) and other places, in order to save time, they did not go to Ceylon, Kezhi and other places according to the navigation notes of their predecessors, but went directly north to Punggara (now Bengal), arrived at the port of eastern India, and from there traveled west along the Ganges River, and finally arrived at Agra, the capital of India. The trip went smoothly. Although there were a few storms on the road, they were not big, and everyone made it safely. It was only when I arrived in Agra that I realized that the reality was very different from what I imagined.

The reigning King of India had been ill for some time, and the envoy had only met twice in a hurry for a few months after the arrival of the mission, and it was only a matter of rhetoric, and no actual business or trade had been discussed. If it was a peaceful period, it didn't matter if he waited, and listening to the waiters in the embassy, the king's condition was not too critical. It's just that I didn't expect that the illness of the Indian king actually caused the four princes to be suspicious of each other, and they clashed over the throne. In the past two days, it has developed to the point of swords and soldiers. The mission was uneasy, and if it was involved, it wasn't fun. This place is too far away from Daming, even if there is a case, the imperial court will not be able to rescue, let alone send troops to take revenge.

Of the four princes. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it is good, he is modest, erudite and polite, and has always been very polite to the king of Wenjun and his envoys, but the current situation is not very favorable to him. The third prince has the most troops and the most ruthless heart, and if he wins in the end, no one will find it strange. That's a big deal!

Hu Fei remembered the ugly look on his face when the third prince heard that King Wen believed in the Buddha at the two banquets, and he couldn't help sighing. However, King Wenjun was used to being respected in Daming, and he didn't like to drink the wine that others toasted, so he asked his entourage to drink on his behalf, but he didn't expect that this happened to be a taboo for others. The people in the mission couldn't say anything about King Wenjun, so they could only help Yuanchang, but the third prince of India didn't look like a person with a big belly at all.

The more Hu Fei thought about it, the lower his mood became. He began to regret that he had come to join the mission. Even if he refuses, the emperor will be angry, and Hu Neijian will be angry, so what? They're not going to cut him head, are they? He just went about his little life. Originally, he gave up revenge, and fame, fortune and status were not important. There's nothing wrong with being a little common man.

Hu Fei touched his chest, and a warmth flowed through his heart. Although he was wearing a white robe that the locals loved to wear, inside was the clothes Chunying had made for him. The stitches and threads were all made by his fiancée. When he thought of this, he felt like he had courage again.

It's just dangerous. He hasn't reached the end of his life yet, and he won't let himself be in trouble. He will return to Daming safely, and from then on he will guard Chunying with peace of mind, live his own small life, and never go abroad again!

It was getting dark. Hu Fei rushed into the embassy, and the members of the mission, who had been waiting for a long time, closed the door immediately, and the deputy envoy, who was second only to King Wen in the mission, hurriedly greeted him from the house: "How is it?" Have you heard any news?! ”

Hu Fei told what he saw, and the envoy sighed repeatedly: "No, it seems that the third prince really wins!" Let's hope he won't hurt us foreign envoys! ”

There was a loud bang in the house, and the angry voice of King Wen was heard: "Don't think I salute that thing that has no king and no father!" It's just that if you drink a glass of wine from him, you dare to give me a face! He is still sick, so he thinks about usurping the throne! Now I don't even let my brothers go! Such a brute, why should I give him a good face! Hu Fei smiled bitterly, and hurriedly followed the deputy envoy into the house to persuade King Wen Jun.

The deputy envoy said cautiously: "The prince is angry." Although the three princes behaved badly, if he really became the king, we and other envoys would naturally salute the king. The emperor has not done a single thing to do. (good-looking)"

King Wen just breathed out from his nostrils and sneered. Ever since he arrived in this country, he has been in a bad mood.

Hu Fei knew his thoughts very well, and persuaded in a low voice: "Lord, now there are no Buddhist temples in this country, and the people do not respect the Koran. It is to believe in the gods of the country, which has a history of hundreds of years, and it is also mentioned in the notes of the predecessors, why should the prince be obsessed? ”

King Wen just kept a straight face and didn't pay attention to it, but looking at his expression, it seemed to be a little loose. Thinking about it, he also understands this truth, but he has come with a lot of hard work, but it is such a result, how can he not be angry?

Seeing that he was shaken, Hu Fei hurriedly stepped up and said, "Lord Wang." The Deputy Envoy, who was originally in this civil strife in India, did not do the business of the mission, but the third prince, who had the highest chances, seemed to be a radical person, who believed in Allah's true God and could not tolerate other religions. Ever since he heard that the prince wanted to find the relics of the Buddha, and the lords did not want to follow his true god, he had been depressed. The villain was worried that after he won the throne, he would deliberately embarrass the prince and adults. Besides, there is chaos in the city, and if there is a mistake that hurts the prince, everyone in the mission will be to blame! Lord Wang, my lord, why don't you take a break for a while? ”

King Wen Jun seemed taken aback: "How dare he do this?!" We are the Ming Mission! The deputy envoy also said, "Not so, right?" Although there has been chaos in the city these days, no one dares to come here to spread wild, and it should be fine. Besides, since the third prince is intended for the throne, he naturally has a plan in his heart, and we have never taken care of his evil deeds, how can he attack us because of a trivial matter? Although the Ming Dynasty is far away, it is also a big country known to the world. He didn't have the courage to risk the anger of our Emperor Tianwei to come to us. ”

Hu Fei shook his head and said: "Although the reputation of the Ming Dynasty is far away, it is too far away, and the treasure ship has always been at the port of Banggara, and Lord Xiong has also taken his soldiers to stay in the military camp twenty miles away from the city, and he has never entered the city. If there is a case, where will there be time for rescue? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to pass on the truth. After the incident, the third prince just put the blame on the other brothers, and there was no proof of death, even if he knew that he was the ghost, what could he do? ”

The deputy envoy pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you have to deal with?" ”

Hu Fei said: "A few days ago, I sold the five catties of fine tea I brought, and the buyer was an Indian tea merchant. He followed us all the way from the port into the capital, only saying that he wanted to learn Chinese so that he could do business with the Ming Dynasty. He was a ruler in his family because of his belief in Lord Shiva. was regarded as a thorn in the side of the three princes, and the whole family was guilty of a crime a few years ago. He was separated from his family when he fled, and now that he has inquired about the whereabouts of his relatives, he dares to sneak back to the capital incognito to investigate, and has prepared a large boat on the bank of the Zhumena River in the north, intending to pick up his relatives in the middle of the night today. I told him that if we went with him and arrived at Punggara, we would let them get on the boat and leave. I had asked him to send someone to report to Lord Xiong, and Lord Xiong would lead his troops to meet us by the river. ”

King Wen Jun was taken aback: "What?!" Why didn't you ask me what I meant with my deputy envoy and make an appointment with someone?! ”

The deputy asked another question: "How big is their ship?" Can we accommodate so many of us? ”

Hu Fei lowered his head and said: "The little one knows that this matter is a little reckless, but when he made an appointment with someone, he also said the time. After the hour had passed, and before we had arrived, the brother Muhammad was about to depart. I made an appointment with someone, but the prince and the lord refused, I just lost a little silver, and Lord Xiong's camp was also close to the riverbank, so it was no big deal to walk a little way. But if the prince and the lord agree, this agreement may allow the people of the mission to escape. This is a life-threatening matter, so the villain dares to dare to meet others. After a pause, he continued: "That man's boat is big, and it is no problem to accommodate twenty or thirty people." Moreover, it is now summer, and the snow on the snowy mountains in the north melts and merges into the Zhumuna River, which is more water than in winter, and the boats go faster, as long as they go down the river, into the Ganges, all the way to the east, you can reach Punggara. The treasure ship we were on when we came here is still waiting there. ”

The deputy envoy hesitated to make a decision. King Wen Jun also frowned and said: "Although you are thoughtful, but we haven't done anything serious here, how can we just run away like this, wouldn't it damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?" "They all had the idea that the Indians would not harm foreign envoys.

Hu Fei was bent on persuading people to leave, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Although we have not discussed the regulations of commerce and trade with the king of India, the three princes are really worrying, we are helpless here, and Lord Xiong is far away, if we annoy the third prince, even if we talk about commerce, we can't take advantage." It is better to retreat to the port first, with the protection of the Ming sergeant, we can leave at any time, and negotiate with the Indians at that time, and we will have more confidence. ”

"You're right." King Wen Jun said, "Let's see the situation, if it's not good, let's go." Then he remembered another thing, "Didn't the Indian king repair the mausoleum of his concubine and find a few craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty?" Poor one, he has been away from home for decades, if the third prince is in power, he doesn't know how he will toss the people below. The deputy envoy sent a few men to find them, and brought them with them, so that they could go together as they went, so that the people of my Ming Dynasty would not be harmed by the tyrant. ”

The deputy envoy looked a little reluctant, but he still agreed, and turned to look for someone. Hu Fei was very disappointed by King Wenjun's answer, and after thinking about it, he decided to pack his luggage first, just in case, the people in the mission who were familiar with him also followed his advice to pack their luggage, and even the entourage around King Wen was also affected.

I thought that this party would be like the previous nights, in the clash of swords and shouts, but I didn't expect that before the moon climbed into the middle of the sky, a group of soldiers suddenly came, shouting outside the embassy, alarming the entire Ming mission. King Wen asked his entourage in a panic: "What's the matter?!" ”

An attaché of the mission went around the outside and came back to report: "Those soldiers are coming for the English mission in the neighboring embassy, and they have nothing to do with us. ”

King Wen Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Only Hu Fei smelled the smell, quickly rushed to the window to take a look from afar, and shouted: "Not good!" They're going to set fire! Everyone was suddenly shocked, and ran to the window to look, and sure enough, they saw a fire burning outside the wall, and there were several screams in the neighboring hall, and they couldn't tell whether it was the voice of the envoy or the waiter in the hall, and they couldn't help but feel an uproar.

The deputy envoy immediately decided: "Quick! Pack your important luggage and go! He called Hu Fei again: "The tea merchant you said has left?!" Hu Fei hurriedly said: "It's not yet time!" "Okay, then rush to the place where they parked the boat at once, and let's leave first!"

Everyone hurriedly went back to the room to get their luggage, only the person who had packed it in advance was a little calmer, but King Wen had the most things, where could he pack them? He himself saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the soldiers outside seemed to be able to rush in at any time, and he didn't know what kind of crime he would suffer in the chaos, so he ordered his entourage: "Don't clean up, escape first!" The crowd panicked and took a few things and left.

Hu Fei had already looked at the terrain before falling asleep, and led everyone from the backyard, first went to the stable to lead the horses, passed through the grove, and turned into the street after a short time. A group of more than 20 horsemen quickly marched towards the north. Behind them, the entire embassy was already in a sea of fire, mixed with bursts of swearing, and even English swearing.

King Wen glanced back in a hurry, and was surprised: "What do you say?" Why burn the embassy?! An attaché next to him said: "At dinner, I seem to have seen a prince's entourage go to the neighboring hall, but the little one has never seen it clearly-the prince beware!" ”

said that it was too late and that was fast, before his words fell, King Wenjun's horse had tripped over a stone on the road, his whole person was upside down, and he was about to fall to the ground, Hu Fei followed behind the horse, and when he saw this, he hurriedly reached out and fished him, and pulled him from mid-air to his horse, saving his life. King Wen Jun panted on the horse, and with the help of Hu Fei, he finally sat upright, his face was already pale, and he reluctantly said to Hu Fei: "More...... Xie ......" was immediately frightened by the rockets coming from a distance, and his face turned blue.

"The safety of the prince is important, please sit tight, the villain is going to speed up!" Hu Fei whipped the horse's buttocks with his backhand, and the horse neighed and quickly rushed forward, making the old man of Wenjun dizzy, but the rocket was left far behind.

Hu Fei stared straight ahead, constantly reciting Chunying's name in his heart, however, as the shouts of the pursuers behind him gradually approached, he began to wonder if he could really drag himself out safely?

(Hu Fei is bubbling...... Something went wrong with the computer, and I almost thought I couldn't catch up...... ）！ ~！
