The blue sea and blue sky, the white clouds are long, and a few seagulls are flying up and down on the sea. Where the water and the sky meet, a fleet of ships is coming. At the head of the pack is a large three-story ship, with a quaint design that exudes atmosphere, with huge sails raised and breaking through the sea with the wind. Wearing a bright yellow flag embroidered with a coiled dragon is a gift from the emperor today.

On the bow of the ship stood a young man with a lofty appearance, dressed in a dark purple plain brocade robe, with a silver vermilion gold ribbon tied around his waist, and his sideburns were like clouds, and a few strands of hair were mischievously attached to his cheeks under the blowing of the sea breeze. A pair of sharp and clear eyes burst out of a compelling cold light, making people dare not look directly. The tall figure is like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Looking at the Tanggu Wharf that was getting closer and closer, Zhu Junyang's cold and hard facial lines softened slightly. It's finally back! His first voyage finally returned triumphantly. The one-and-a-half-year trip to the sea has given him more experience and thinking.

Although the journey was not peaceful, and experienced the plundering of pirates and the attack of storms, but with the joint efforts of thousands of people in the fleet, they finally returned to their homeland safely. He believes that these rare experiences will become a valuable asset in his life, shape his more perfect personality, and achieve his future glory!

A sixteen-year-old boy has a slightly immature face, but his eyes flashed with maturity and wisdom. also has a cold and handsome face, compared to more than a year ago, his body has added a bit of momentum, a convincing spirit.

"I'm Zhu Junyang...... It's back! The young man sighed and spit out a few words lightly.

The white-faced bearded old man behind him stepped forward and said in a slightly shrill voice: "King Yangjun, this trip to the West went quite smoothly, and I successfully brought back the seeds of several crops mentioned by the emperor, but I don't know if we can grow them in our Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Junyang looked at the land that was getting closer and closer with his star-like eyes, but his original anxious mood became more and more peaceful. He said slowly: "That's the matter of the household, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Chief Manager Liu Fusheng smiled, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were squeezed out: "Little Junwang, don't you want to plant the seeds you have brought back with great painstaking efforts, and plant them with your own hands, and watch them germinate, grow leaves, blossom, and bear ...... fruit?"

Zhu Junyang's face turned cold, and suddenly a kind of pressing pressure surged towards Liu Fusheng. Rao is Liu Fusheng's self-proclaimed No. 1 master in the country, and he is still forced into a cold sweat by the power of taking care of him. He hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize and said: "The old slave lost his words, please atone for the kings of Yangjun!" ”

Zhu Junyang, who is sixteen years old, after the experience of this voyage, feels that he is a man who stands up to the sky, and he has expressly forbidden titles such as "Little County King". Last time, a guard was called incorrectly, and was thrown into the sea by the angry King of Yang County to feed the sharks. Since then, the thousands of people accompanying him have known the title of "Little County King", which is his reverse scale and cannot be touched.

Quietly raising his eyes to peek at his master's cold expression, Liu Fusheng was beating a drum in his heart. Since the birth of King Yangjun, Liu Fusheng has been by his side, and has seen his cute and funny appearance when he was a child, and has also witnessed him slowly grow from a cute and soft boy to a tall and handsome teenager. Most of the martial arts of King Yangjun were taught by him. More than ten years of companionship have created a relationship between them as a teacher, a friend and a servant. But the master and servant are the master and the servant after all, even if it is him, he can't take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Zhu Junyang looked at Manager Liu, who bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, he had been with each other for more than ten years, even if it was a small animal, he had feelings. It is impossible for him to treat Mr. Liu as a chicken that is a monkey, which will inevitably chill the hearts of a large number of people. If you want your subordinates to be loyal, you must give both grace and might, and this principle is still taught to him by President Liu.

"I know it's wrong, and I'll automatically go and get the punishment when I return to Beijing!" King Yangjun's good mood seemed to be broken by the episode just now, and the frost and snow seemed to stain his eyes again. The commander of the guards behind him, looking at Manager Liu, who secretly wiped the cold sweat with his cuffs, adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and installed the mast with his eyes and nose and heart.

"It's coming! Here it comes!! "When I saw hundreds of huge ships on the dock, it was like a frying pan. The entire wharf entered a state of martial law, and the one who came to pick up the ship was the commander of the personal guard army sent by the emperor, which was about the same level as the commander of the imperial forest army who protected him by the side of King Yangjun. The commanders of his personal army have been assigned to the king of Yangjun, which shows how much favor the emperor has for this young county king.

Looking at the crowd on the dock, Manager Liu said with relief: "Master, the emperor has sent someone to pick you up!" It seems like...... It is the emperor's personal guard. ”

The commander of the Imperial Forest Military saw his "sworn enemy" Bao Qinming at a glance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he echoed: "It is indeed a pro-guard!" Bao Qinming, that guy is also here!! ”

Zhu Junyang's expression was indifferent, as if the people and things on the shore had nothing to do with him. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "My mother's concubine...... Is it still in Tanggu at this time? ”

Manager Liu hurriedly said: "Yes! In the letter received, it was said that Princess Jing lived quite happily in Tanggu, and in late autumn, the prince personally came to pick up the princess and return to Beijing. The beginning of spring has just warmed, and the princess has come to Tanggu again, temporarily living in the courtyard of Lord Wu's youngest son in Tanggu......"

Zhu Junyang frowned and said, "The mother concubine is willful again!" The spring is cold, Tanggu is near the sea, and the cold and humidity are heavier, which is not good for the body of the mother. ”

The letter said that since the princess came to Tanggu, she has had a close relationship with Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang's goddaughter is good at cooking medicinal food, and she actually cured General Fang's old illness with good hands. Calculate, Mrs. Fang should give birth next month. The princess summoned the little girl from time to time, and used her medicinal diet several times, and from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, she never fell ill. ”

"Nonsense! The mother's body has its own doctor, how can she casually let a little girl recuperate? If there's a slip-up...... Who can take this responsibility? The mother concubine is too, how can she trust her casually? Zhu Junyang's feelings for Princess Jing are the deepest of the three brothers, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and a trace of worry flashed in his star-like eyes.

Manager Liu hurriedly comforted: "What the master is worried about! The medicinal food prescribed by the little girl was strictly checked by the accompanying imperial doctor, and it was determined that it was beneficial to the princess's body before agreeing. Moreover, the cooking of medicinal food and the process are supervised. Moreover, the princess's body is indeed much better. Don't worry! ”

Zhu Junyang's brows stretched slightly, he thought for a moment, and said, "According to this, this little girl is quite capable!" Why didn't you take her with you when you returned to Beijing? Conditioning your body doesn't happen overnight! ”

Manager Liu hunched his waist and explained: "That little girl is from Dongshan Village, and her parents are reluctant to let their young daughter leave their side. The princess is kind and kind, and she can't bear to separate their flesh and blood. Besides, the little girl is General Fang's goddaughter, for the sake of the general and his wife, it's not easy to force others, right? ”

Dongshan Village? Hearing this place name, Zhu Junyang's brows furrowed again. Dongshan Village is not a good memory for him. The most embarrassing moment of his life happened in Dongshan Village. I think of the despair of being surrounded by the sea, the pain when I choked on the water, and the black and white eyes I saw when I was rescued...... Memories that were thought to have been forgotten have become clear again.

"That's right! You've seen that little girl, master, too! Manager Liu quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the little county king, and continued, "Speaking of which, she can also be regarded as your savior!" ”

A lifesaver? Sure enough, it was her! Zhu Junyang didn't know what it was like in his heart. The little girl who was thin and small, but had big eyes full of aura, not only saved him, but also relieved his mother's pain...... Before he went to sea, he seemed to be gracious and rewarded the little girl with a bag of silver, cough cough...... Now it seems that he was reckless.

Just as I was thinking about it, the fleet had already docked one after another. The royal fleet returned and the rest of the ships had to get out of the way. Therefore, at this time, there was not a single ship in sight at the dock except for the fleet.

After the boat docked, Zhu Junyang took the lead and got off the boat. After more than a year of drifting at sea, I really don't want to stay on the ship for a moment. It's nice to be down to earth!

Commander Bao hurried up to meet him, led hundreds of his subordinates, and saluted the king of Yang County. The momentum is quite spectacular.

Yu Xiaocao watched from a distance, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: What a wicked class society! It's good to be powerful! Look at the situation of others, all eyes are on it!

Although martial law was imposed on the wharf, there was no restriction on those who did small business, and after strict inspection, the Yu family's noodle stalls and pickled vegetable stalls were allowed to continue to operate. Originally, with such a large fleet, it was not a matter of time or a half to unload cargo. If there is no one to sell food on the docks, the porters must not work hungry!

There is also a small episode in it, the leader of the pro-guard army was attracted by the strong fragrance of Xiaocaojia's braised vegetables, and asked for a bowl of fried noodles and a plate of braised pig's head, and ate it with a mouth full of oil. Commander Bao has a close relationship with one of the personal guards of the Emperor Taishang, and he has long heard his brother say that every time the Emperor Taishang goes to Tanggu, he will eat the braised vegetables of the Yu family on the dock, and he can remember it for a lifetime.

Commander Bao was born in a family of military generals, and he boasted that he had never tasted any food, how could the crude food on the dock enter the eyes of the emperor, and how could he make his brother remember it deeply? Therefore, when he received this errand, he thought that he must try the braised vegetables on the dock, whether it was exaggerated by his brother.

It's better to smell than to taste, the pork head meat is soft and glutinous and fragrant, fat but not greasy, fragrant but not oily! For those of them who drink and eat meat in a big bowl, stuffing a piece of braised pork in their mouths and serving it with a mouthful of strong noodles is not to mention how refreshing it is! Commander Bao, who was not very hungry, ate two large bowls of noodles and a large plate of braised vegetables in one go, and then left with his stomach in his hand. He thought that before the end of this errand, he must pack more braised vegetables to take away. His grandpa would love it!
