"We're going home!"

I jerked my head up and saw the monkey's eyes full of serious joy, not joking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The monkey probably didn't expect it to attract so much attention from me, and his face was quite proud.

"You're surprised, aren't you? We didn't expect that either. Did you know? Zheng Gonggong led the fleet from the first time in Yongle three years to the current Yongle twenty years, this is the sixth time to go to sea, the first five times to the Western Ocean, to a very country, but also encountered some storms, but always only our victory, we have never been defeated.

We followed my father-in-law to open up a route, establish diplomatic relations with Fanbang, raise the national prestige of our Ming Kingdom, and make all nations submit, do you know what glory and merit it it is?"

The monkey said excited, his eyes were full of pride, and I couldn't help nodding my head, but soon his eyes dimmed and he was silent.

I pondered and asked, "What happened to this trip?" What happened to you?"

The monkey sighed and said, "Gonggong Zheng has spent all his efforts on sailing, this time, it was to open up a new channel to take this unfamiliar route, but I didn't expect it to be so unsmooth." ”

"How?"

The monkey clasped his hands, pinched his fingers vigorously, and said, "The night before we met you, we encountered a strong storm that we had never seen before. Dragons suck water, have you ever heard of it? It's a tornado on the sea, stirring up all the sea water to the sky!

Think about it, that's a lot of energy! Wherever you go, whatever you do, you will be ruined to the point that there is nothing left of the scum, and we have lost dozens of ships at once.

Later, he encountered a sea monster and lost half of his generals and ships. That happened again last night, so many people jumped into the sea for no reason, and if it weren't for you, we would probably be wiped out.

You don't know, we counted the number of people overnight last night, and guess what? It's nearly half gone!

Let's tell you the truth, everyone was frightened, morale was very low, everyone knew that you were right, it was time to return, but we also know how much Gonggong Zheng wants to carry out this voyage to the end, so as long as Gonggong doesn't speak, no one dares to mention the stubble of the return voyage. ”

The monkey said to me very solemnly, "That's called disturbing the morale of the army, you know?"

I quickly nodded in agreement, and he continued with great satisfaction: "Yesterday, as soon as you said that it was time to sail back, you also saw the attitude of your father-in-law, and we all sweated for you, worried that the guild would have a dispute with you over this matter. Unexpectedly, my father-in-law didn't say a word, and ordered to return early this morning.

Don't mention how happy you are, you are really our great benefactor! You say, "Why are you so bold?" Dare to say anything. The monkey looked at me with his cheeks tilted, his eyes full of adoration and yearning.

I was amused by his appearance and explained, "Gonggong Zheng is a smart person, and I believe that he will make a wise choice when he calms down."

The monkey leaned over to me and asked, questioningly, "Do you really think so?"

I nodded, "Well, what else?"

The monkey scratched his head and said blankly, "I don't know." ”

After a while, the monkey suddenly looked out of the door and whispered to me mysteriously: "Actually, everyone is talking about it in private, saying that this trip to sea is very strange and unlucky. But those who are soldiers must obey orders, and the father-in-law said that he wants to advance, so there are swords, mountains and fires in front of us, and we must rush forward, and we must not retreat, otherwise we will be deserters. Who wants to be a deserter? Shameful! ”

Oh, I didn't expect the soldiers trained by Gonggong Zheng to have such a high consciousness, which really impresses me!

The monkey smiled at this time and said happily, "But now it's okay, it's back, and I can finally go home."

But then he was full of gloom, and frowned: "Engong, you said, we won't encounter any strange things on the way back, and there will be any more chaos, right?"

"No, it won't." As I ate, I replied in the affirmative.

Afraid that he would not be at ease, I added again, "Don't worry, if something strange happens again, I will be the first to save you." ”

"Really?" The monkey couldn't believe his ears and immediately rushed to confirm.

I smiled and nodded, and he immediately got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me, "Engong, your great kindness and great virtue are unforgettable for my monkey." ”

I hurriedly reached out to help him up, "What are you doing here?" Get up. ”

"Yo, what's this for?" A rough voice sounded, and I looked over the monkey's shoulder to see that Ma Huan was standing at the door with a beard on his face.

The monkey hurriedly got up and saluted: "If you go back to Tongshi (Tongshi, that is, turning Ze), Engong said that he would be the first to save me if there was something in the future!" ”

Something? I didn't expect this man to be a civil servant! I smiled and narrowed my eyes to greet him.

"Eh, then which is it, you have to go to the back, if you want to save me, you have to save me first, Engong has saved me several times, I'm ahead of you, right, Engong?"

Without waiting for me to speak, the monkey became anxious and said aggrievedly: "You also said that Engong has saved you several times, so why shouldn't it be my turn?" You don't bring such a bully! ”

Look at this monkey is really anxious, even the green tendons on his temples are protruding, and his eyes are full of grievance and anger.

Why can't you help but be funny? Didn't he see that people were joking with him?

Ma Huan went up and slipped on the back of his head, "Hey, boy, look at your appearance, can your grandfather and my manly husband rob you of this in order to save his life?" It's so funny. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the monkey and said to me with a smile: "This kid is good at everything, he works quickly, and his hands and feet are diligent, but he can't help but tease. ”

"Who is the child? I hate people saying I'm a kid the most! The monkey said angrily, stalking his neck.

"Yes, yes, you're not a child, you're an old man who has been out of the sea a few times and seen the world!" Ma Huan was patient, and talked to him there with a smile.

The monkey was not convinced, and wanted to argue, but was stopped by a look from me, so he had to stand aside with his pouts and sulk, like a bulging toad.

"Master Tongshi, do you have something to do with me?" I looked at Ma Huan and teased.

"Ouch, what's the matter? You can torture me, I can't stand it, if you can afford me, just call me Ma Huan. Don't look at the monkey young, but the qualification is old, this is the second time I have followed Master Zheng to the sea, and this is the third time. ”

As he spoke, he winked at me. I would have realized that he was deliberately coaxing the child. Sure enough, the monkey was very helpful when he heard this, and his face immediately smug.
