Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan came down from the main deck, Zhuang Zhaoxue and the four of them were still playing mahjong, Liu Hanyan saw that Li Zhixian had won the money, so he knocked her off the table and sat on it himself. Wang Hou watched from the side for a while, and the things he had worried about before came out again, and he didn't feel a little upset, and got up and went back to his room.

Liu Zhaohui was not in the room, probably helping Zhang Luo with his father on the ship. As soon as Wang Hou entered the room, Li Zhixian followed, and Wang Houqi said, "Hey, don't you watch them play cards?" "I see you've been thinking about it all these days, what are you thinking?"

Wang Hou couldn't help but rub his hands, Li Zhixian's face suddenly turned crimson, remembering that night in Taining, Fujian, in order to try to unravel the "hatred of the acupuncture hand", the atmosphere instantly became embarrassing. After a moment of silence, Li Zhixian asked again: "Brother Wang, why are you so worried these days?" ”

Wang Hou breathed a long sigh of relief, and responded: "You came just right, I have been thinking about things in my heart for the past few days, that day in Yuwan, I was confused by two things, what I thought about the most was that if we were not spared poisoning that day, the consequences would be unpredictable, that Chen Xiong was so terrible, he actually designed a serial scam, it seems that everything is under his control, this person does not get rid of, there will be a greater disaster, but he does not know where to hide now, we have nowhere to go." ”

Li Zhixian listened quietly, and Wang Hou continued: "That day, Taisang was easily let go, no matter what, he is also an accomplice, although I know that Manraka is unwilling to expand the conflict, but by letting go of those people in Siam, isn't he indulging them?" Do they have to be out of control to punish them? Liu Chu's predecessors asked me to sail the rivers and lakes and promote morality, is this kind of forbearance good or bad? ”

"Brother Wang, the first thing you are worried about, there is no doubt that Chen Xiong must be eliminated, you have an old Chinese saying, 'If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and your aunt will treat him.'" He can escape once, but he can't escape for a lifetime after all, why should you bother about it. The second thing, I think it is precisely Chen Xiong's cleverness, he can drag the prince of Siam into the water, just to provoke strife, the bigger the trouble, the better. Didn't Liu Yi say that day, Chen Xiong has always been thoughtful in doing things, if Taisang's people are detained, Siam will definitely attack Manraka, so Zheng Zongbing and Prince Mahara let Taisang go, not indulgent, but it is not yet time to punish. ”

Wang Hou's heart froze, and he secretly said that what he said was reasonable, and it seemed that he was still thinking a little extreme. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "Sister Li, if one day our Ruthless Gang becomes bigger, I want you to be the deputy gang leader and assist me in dominating the world." Li Zhixian blushed, knowing that he was joking, so he hugged his fists: "This military division first congratulates the gang leader for being ruthless and invincible, dominating the rivers and lakes!" ”

Wang Hou snorted, moved out a chair for Li Zhixian to sit down, sat opposite him, and asked, "Sister Li, I know that Sister Jin didn't have a mother when she was three years old, and her stepmother often beat and scolded her...... You haven't told me about your situation yet. "Is the gang leader really going to promote me to be the deputy gang leader, and then I will start to understand my life experience?" Li Zhixian smiled, remembered something, the smile finally condensed on his face, sighed lightly, and slowly revealed his life experience.

It turned out that after Lee Ji-hyun was a famous family in Joseon, his father Lee Jun was a general under the Joseon king Yi Sung-gye. In the 21st year of Hongwu (1388), the king of Goryeo sent the capital commander Yi Sung-gye to attack Liaodong, and Yi Sung-gye took the opportunity to stage a coup d'état. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), Yi Sung-gye deposed the king of Goryeo, established himself as the king, and changed the name of the country to Joseon, and set the capital at Liuyang (now Seoul, South Korea). On the one hand, the Joseon Dynasty took the initiative to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it did not forget to expand northward, and had many wars with the Jianzhou Jurchens, forcing the Jianzhou Jurchens to move to the southwest.

Li Zhixian's father was killed in a war with the Jianzhou Jurchens, Li Zhixian has received a good education since he was a child, is well-read, and is smart and beautiful, but because of his father's death, the family is declining day by day. Especially after Li Chenggui was forced to abdicate to his second son Li Fangguo, Li Zhixian, as the daughter of an old minister, was selected as a beauty to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately was saved by Wang Hou in Tianjin.

Wang Hou didn't know that she had such a life experience, so he was stupid when he heard it, and said for a while: "Who else is in Sister Li's family?" Li Zhixian lowered his head: "There are still mothers and brothers at home, and I don't know if they are doing well now." ”

"Then when we go back, I'll accompany you back to your hometown." Listening to Wang Hou's words, Li Zhixian's face was overjoyed, and then he shook his head and said: "It's too far to go to us, after the king changed, the country has been in turmoil, if you go, maybe you will be in danger...... When I was chosen to be sent to Daming, I knew that there was no hope of going back in this life, and now I am very content. ”

Wang Hou knew that what she said was the truth, and if she went back like this now and was discovered by others, it would be a capital crime, but he still comforted: "Sister Li, you have now learned the disguise technique, and your martial arts are not bad, if you want to go home then, let's discuss it again." Li Zhixian hummed, the two didn't know what to say, and after being silent for a while, Li Zhixian got up and went back to the next room.

Wang Hou looked at her departing figure, thinking that every time she encountered a knot in her heart, she always came to help her untie it, but she already had smoke in her heart, and she couldn't think about her anymore; I can't help but recall the blind date with her on the night in Taining, Fujian, and what Yan'er said later: "Today, I won't blame you for your healing for Sister Li, even if you marry them all in the future, I won't be angry, but if you dare to bear me, I'll die...... It's nice to say, Sister Azhu treats you so infatuated, can you not want her? If you take Sister Jin to find Dr. Huashen, the blind can see that she will not marry you in this life, otherwise she will go to sea with you? You are like Sister Li again tonight, she is a smart person, she will not know such a result...... They are all miserable people, you are not allowed to bully them, or we will beat you to death together......" and his heart was as troubled as he was.

In the following days, the fleet was not all smooth sailing at sea, and was often disturbed by torrential rains, and it was not until the afternoon of April 20 that the country of Sumatra was seen from afar. Sumatra, which means "Golden Island", has been producing gold since ancient times and has a tropical rainforest climate.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of Zhu Di's reign as emperor, he sent an edict to Sumatra to enthrone himself; In the second year of Yongle, he sent an envoy to bring Zhijin Wenqi, Rong Jin, and Saro to recruit his chieftains, and he was named the king of Sumatra; In the third year of Yongle, Zheng He went to the West for the first time and rewarded him again. Since then, during the Yongle period, Sumatra would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.

When the fleet sailed into the port, Wang Hou felt that the atmosphere was very strange: before, in Champa and Manraka, it was already full of people who welcomed the crowd, but at this time it was in the afternoon, and the shore was quiet. Wang Hou immediately overturned his idea, such a huge fleet of ships, if the coastal defense did not know, then if the enemy invaded, wouldn't it be captured?

As soon as the ship stopped, an order was heard: all personnel on board were on standby! Everyone speculated that something must have happened. The effort was not big, Tang Jing ran over, saying that General Zheng had invited General Wang over to discuss important matters. Wang Hou chuckled in his heart, didn't ask more, and hurriedly got off the "Tianzhu" with Tang Jing.

There were four people sitting in the chamber, Zheng He, Nanhai Gong and two others. Seeing Wang Hou coming in, Zheng He introduced: "General Wang, these two are Sumatra envoys who accompanied the ship, this is Prince Hani, and this is Prince Hani's master. After the two sides met, Zheng He continued, "You also know the situation in front of you, General Wang, we guess that there has been a change in Sumatra, but it is not clear what the specific change is. So please come, I want you to pick a few candidates for martial arts, pretend to be Prince Hani's entourage, and go to investigate, but you must ensure Prince Hani's safety...... General Wang, is there any difficulty? ”

Wang Hou pondered for a moment and replied, "If you just go to find out the news, it is not difficult, but to ensure the safety of Prince Hani, the responsibility is very heavy, and it is not trivial. Zheng Zongbing, why don't you just let the officers and soldiers of the fleet escort Prince Ha? Or do you want me to go and find out the news alone? ”

Zheng He glanced at Prince Hani and said, "This...... I've also thought about it, for one, that you need to have a general understanding of what's going on before you can take action accordingly; Second, Prince Hani is anxious, and I can't persuade him, and besides, if you go alone, you are not familiar with life, and you are very prone to danger, and I am not at ease. ”

Wang Hou no longer hesitated, got up and said, "Commander Tang Du, you go to the 'Heavenly Pillar' and call my four elders and Miss Zhuang to come over and bring the disguised medicine." I'm going to take a trip to the treasure ship 'Tianmen', and I'm going to ask someone to come over...... Prince Hani, we will be able to set off in half an hour at most. ”

Tang Jing responded and left. Wang Hou said again: "Prince Hani, you should have brought a dozen retinues, right?" Let's see if we can find someone who is similar to you, and after a while, our people will make it easy for you. Also, how far is this place from the royal palace? Please prepare a fast horse for Mr. Zheng, and I will be back in a while. With that, the man was already out of the room.

On the treasure ship of "Tianmen", the seven sons of Wudang and the lily fairy were discussing something, and when they saw Wang Hou coming in, they were all stunned, and the sixth Yin Cheng hugged his fists and said: "Wang Gang Master, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you in a hurry?" Wang Hou smiled: "I want to ask Mo Qixia for a favor." ”

Lao Qi Mo Gong was stunned: "How can I help?" Wang Hou smiled and said: "I came to borrow someone from Mo Qixia, and now I don't know what happened in Sumatra, I want to escort the envoys who accompanied the ship back, so I came to ask the lily fairy to go with me, and bring the 'flower mist' in case of accidents." ”

After Mo Gong understood what was going on, he was about to speak, and the lily fairy chirped: "The helper is with the beauties every day, and he learns to be flamboyant, what does it mean to borrow someone?" This fairy is not available! ”
