I didn't hear him persuade me again, but I caressed my back one by one, and the arm around my waist seemed strong and gentle, so that I hugged him tightly. Many days and nightmares have been buried by time, and the loneliness of days and nights after the memories have been reset, and I have been flooded into my heart like a tide. I just wanted to hug this person and cry bitterly, and then I suddenly went to look for his lips, and he immediately responded, only then can I really feel him.

The palm around his waist tightened more and more, and suddenly he was pushed to the ground, and he also overturned, kissing deeper and heavier, and his breathing was staggered and disordered. But as he moved from his lips to his neck, reason drove me to speak: "Why? ”

He walked to the lips of my collarbone and paused, and looked up from me, his dark eyes as quiet and dark as twilight, and faintly dancing with flames. After half a ring, I saw him leaning over, only a few steps away from me, and his breath was spit on my face: "Because I'm not sure." I closed my eyes, he knew that I was more than myself, and my eyes and words were not hidden from him. He knows what I'm asking!

A sentence flashed through my head, and I forgot which book I read it from.

If it weren't for the parting of the parting, then I can understand that you and I are still alive when we get together after parting.

In fact, Zheng He's statement has already touched me, but I don't dare to think about it, because the more I think about it, the more desperate I feel. But as long as my Ah Ping is still alive, then I have lost my memory this year, how can he not come to me?

Now it seems that I don't really have amnesia, I'm afraid that the medicine given to me at the end of the parting is not too serious, otherwise it wouldn't have been just the name of "Zheng He" crashing into my brain and pulling out the original memory. It's like getting lost and can't find the way home, but once there are clues to the past, you can automatically search and recall it.

I didn't dare think about him until he appeared, but the moment I saw him, I knew that this man was so hateful that I wanted to beat him up! If he hadn't planned it, how could I see him again in this life? Therefore, on the thirteenth day of June in the fourth year of Jianwen, he must have carried out an earth-shattering arrangement, and sent me away the night before. What's even worse is that the words he whispered in my ear at parting made me desperate to death!

I was very uncomfortable, and I should have been happy, but my heart seemed to be leaking a piece, through the wind and cold. With trembling hands, he stroked the hair that he draped over his shoulders, and the first time he raised his head, he saw that his hair had turned gray and white.

"How so?" There was a hidden pain in his hoarse voice.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he didn't answer and asked, "Am I ugly now?" ”

I looked at him silently, the silhouette of the person in front of me was deeper than before, and his temperament was more restrained, because this gray hair looked vicissitudes, but it did not damage the appearance, and it could not match the ugliness.

Shaking his head, "It's not ugly." ”

His eyes flashed, and then he drooped to look at the hair I was holding on his fingertips and said slowly: "It turned white overnight after I lost you later." My heart trembled, and my eyes were fixed on his dark eyes: "Tell me, how did you arrange it at that time?" ”

I want to know everything from the ground up, and I don't leave anything behind.

Ah Ping told me that his plan was for me to evacuate from the palace to a safe place like the two children, but he knew that with my temper, he would not leave, so he and Chen Ergou planned to trick me out of the palace on the last night.

The next morning, the Jinchuan Gate Incident occurred, Xu Zengshou was defeated and killed by Ah Ping in Zuoshun Gate, but Li Jinglong, who guarded the Jinchuan Gate, opened the city gate and surrendered to Cheng after seeing Zhu Di's cover.

I was shocked, that Li Jinglong was promoted by Ah Ping, from a young general to a big general, but at the last moment, he still rebelled. After that, there was a fire in the palace, which was put by Ah Ping himself, and he had to jump into the fire with "me" in front of Zhu Di. Knowing that he couldn't be okay or he wouldn't be here, he still clenched his fists and felt very nervous, it was true that he had secretly dug a secret room under the burning palace.

His vision and planning are deeper and wider than mine, I will only find Chen Ergou to plan, but he has already asked Chen Ergou to secretly train a group of guards to learn his method of digging and stealing holes, so he will get twice the result with half the effort. And in the secret room under the palace there is a death row prisoner who has been prepared early in the morning, and it is carefully selected, and it is almost the same as us in terms of body shape and clothing.

This is actually the same as my original intention, but there is an additional scene where Zhu Di saw him "buried in the fire" with his own eyes, in order to make this "fake and true" more real. And he said that Zhu Yuanzhang also left him a brocade box when he was dying, warning him not to open it until he was in the most danger, which was a map and a razor.

Zhu Yuanzhang's predecessor was a monk, and he always attached great importance to monks after he ascended the throne, believing that monks were auspicious blessings. So he asked Ah Ping to shave his hair and become a monk if he encountered an irreversible danger, and the map contained two parts, one part was under the imperial city. No one would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would have an underground imperial city built under Jinling City in his lifetime, and the secret passage we walked through was only one of the branches. The other part of the map is the nautical route map, which is exactly where we are at the Atlantic Ocean at the moment.

These plans were originally strictly guarded by Ah Ping, and he would quietly leave after making sure that Zhu Di had approved that all of us would be buried in the fire, and then go to meet Chen Ergou to find me. But unexpectedly, when he arrived at the agreed place with Chen Ergou, he found that we were nowhere to be found, and the people who were originally sent to secretly protect me had disappeared.

This accident made Ah Ping, who was originally a valley, confused, and he sent people to search all corners to report that there was no news, and even judged that Chen Ergou and I did not reach the agreed point.

So he turned white overnight, and the anxiety and heartache were beyond words. For two whole months, Chen Ergou finally found him, but Chen Ergou was terminally ill and only had one breath left, he said that he took me out of the tunnel and was about to go to the agreed place when he met Yan Jun, who had to hide me in a carriage caravan at that time, and wanted to get me out after passing the customs in a fool's way. But unexpectedly, he was still detained by the Yan army, and I quietly hid in the caravan carriage and left.

Ah Ping immediately ordered people to search for the horse caravan, and after searching for nearly a month, he finally found it, but he heard that the leader of the caravan said that he had left me in a fishing village. The fishing village is not difficult to find, but when I arrived at the fishing village, I went out to sea with the fishing boat.

According to the people in the fishing village, there are two times a year when they go out to the deep sea to catch big fish, and the return voyage is in March and April, and the most is from six months to August and September. At that time, Ah Ping had not heard from me for three whole months, and he had no patience to wait, and remembered the navigation route map given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang. So, he led a group of people on a long voyage, just to find me.

This search is nine months and eight days!

Ah Ping's tone didn't fluctuate much when he said this precise number, but I could deeply feel the bitterness and pain contained in it. However, when I remembered the past because of Zheng He, I had no memory of this past, and I didn't remember how I got to the fishing village and why I went to sea with me. But if you talk about fishing boats, you can match the words that Aunt Qin rescued me from the fishing boats, and it seems that I may have really spent most of the year at sea with the fishing boats.

According to Zheng He's statement, Zhu Di still didn't believe that I was dead, so he sent Zheng He to the West to find me. I'm afraid that if I want to break my brain, I can't imagine that a eunuch named Ma He next to Zhu Di I met back then was actually the famous Zheng He in history, and Zheng He went to the West to find me.

My mind finally calmed down from the excitement, and I leaned against Ah Ping's chest and asked softly, "Do you have any arrangements now?" How are we going to get out of Zheng He's ship? ”

At this time, I was only dragged off the deck by Yan Qi and taken to a hidden cabin, but unexpectedly I heard Ah Ping say: "We are no longer on Zheng He's ship. I sat up from his arms in astonishment, "What did you say?" ”

He lifted me up by the waist and walked to the hatch, looking out through the window, but seeing that it was dark outside, something was wrong, Zheng He's big official ship was bright at night. After walking around the outer ring of the cabin, I was shocked to find that not only did the ship not light up, but only the shadow of the black pressure could be seen, and it was much smaller than the official ship.

It's really not Zheng He's ship! But...... How did I get on this boat? Of course, it must have happened when Yan Qi put on a sack to block his vision, what I can't figure out is how to do it without knowing it, and even if this ship is not lit, it is huge, and it is impossible not to be discovered.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he turned his eyes to him in surprise and blurted out, "You can't be the ship of death, right?" His face was calm, but he said, "I am a man, not a ship." ”

Choked, he understood what I was talking about, and deliberately misinterpreted. But after a pause, he nodded at me, which made me even more surprised, "How did you do that?" "According to Aunt Qin, this ship has been described as mysterious and strange, and even the ghosts of the sea have come out, and I was so frightened that I felt shivers down my spine.

I saw Ah Ping raise his eyebrows, "Isn't there a map of the navigation line left by the emperor's grandfather?" ”

I was puzzled: "Isn't that just a route map?" ”

Not really. Ah Ping said that the map circled every whirlpool and hidden reef beach on the navigation line, and that one area of the sea was foggy at night, and when the fog was smelled, people who fell asleep at night would sleep more deeply, and those who were awake would hallucinate. So there were those strange events that Aunt Qin said, in the process of which Ah Ping would send people on the boat to search, from large and small fishing boats to merchant ships, and later even the official ship sent by Zhu Di arranged for Yan Qi to sneak up quietly.

In this way, it seems that the navigation chart left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Ah Ping is Zhang Baotu, which directly made him the overlord of the sea.
