The prince said: "The king called me alone, lamenting the cruelty of Su Ganra, speaking of the eldest prince is still sad, the king himself is not in good health, this time sent Prince Hani to Beijing to pay tribute, to participate in the completion ceremony of the Forbidden City, just to exercise him, planning Prince Hani to pay tribute back, and set up as the prince." ”

Zheng He's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there an official edict to prepare for the establishment of the reserve?" The prince said, "No, the king and I are just discussing, saying that we will wait for Prince Hani to return from the tribute and see the performance of this trip before making a final decision." ”

Zheng He's eyes slowly dimmed: "That's not easy to do, although I have 20,000 horses in my hands, it may not be difficult to attack the capital, but the saint has repeatedly told me that I will be good for all nations and create a great cause of the Ming Dynasty, so I can't interfere in your state affairs for no reason, without the edict of the prince, I can't help you, otherwise it will be a nameless teacher and difficult to convince the public." ”

Hearing this, Prince Hani became more and more anxious: "Chief soldier, if you don't help me, I will have a home and can't go back, and I have a grudge...... Can't report. The prince burst into tears: "The power of the army is in the hands of the queen's nephew Danhan, who is the queen's confidant and will not initiate a mutiny." But Prince Hani's current situation, you also know the chief soldier, Su Ganra will definitely not let him go. ”

When Zheng He heard that the military power was in the hands of the queen's nephew, he calmed down a little, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In this way, it is still uncertain whether the capital is now the situation of their confession." However, the king of your country was enshrined in the second year of Yongle, and we were ordered to send an envoy to come here on behalf of the saint, and we should welcome the fleet, not to mention that Prince Hani is still on the ship, how can he still give us food and closed doors, we will have reason to ask for guilt...... I'll send someone to the capital to see who will greet you. ”

Several people thought that this method was good, so they decided that Tang Jing would take people to the capital tomorrow to inform them that the Ming fleet had arrived at the port, and if it was received by the king, it would mean that the rumors of the assassins were false, and there was another hidden secret; If it is Su Ganra or someone else who is interviewed, there is a chance that the rumors are true, and then we will see the opportunity to act.

Seeing that it was already dark, the meal had been prepared and delivered, and no one was drinking. At dinner, Wang Hou had been thinking about his thoughts, and after eating, he said his thoughts to Zheng He: "Chief soldier, I want to go to the capital tonight to investigate the situation, if there is anything to gain, tomorrow Tang Du will be commanded, and it will not be too passive." ”

Zheng He thought for a moment and asked, "That's fine, but it's not a small risk to go to the capital now, how many people are you going to bring over?" "I only go to find out the situation, and when there are more people, it is easy to attract attention; I wanted to go alone, but I didn't know the place well, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, so I wanted a small entourage of the prince to accompany me. ”

Zheng He knew that he had thought it through, so he didn't say more, but only told him to be careful, and Wang Hou thanked him and asked Prince Hani to call Abu over. Liu Hanyan heard that the nerd was going to visit the capital at night, and he and Zhou Qingzhu shouted that they were going to go, Wang Hou smiled and said: "You didn't listen to the prince master, the eldest prince likes to indulge in lust, if he sees that you are beautiful like a flower, then it will be a big trouble." ”

Liu Hanyan said: "Can you be serious, when is it, and still have a hippie smile." "Yan'er is right, our current situation is not good, if Prince Hani is not on the ship, Zheng Zongbing may not stay here and move to the next station, temporarily avoiding the conflict. But in the current situation, it's not easy to go, and it's not good to stay. On the surface, we are not in danger, but if we do not handle it well, the impact is great...... Therefore, Yan'er must be obedient and obedient, and reply to the 'Tianzhu' and other helpers for my news. Wang Hou first put away his smile and said it strictly, but when he talked about the back, he couldn't help but joke.

Li Zhixian clapped his hands and said: "Helper, your analysis just now just answered our previous confusion, that is, why did the prince's uncle Su Ganra choose this time to start?" In addition to the fact that the prince will be established when he returns to China, there is also the fact that before this, the palace may be more concerned about the arrival of the Ming fleet, and Su Ganra's choice of this time will disrupt the situation and increase his chances of success......"

While he was speaking, Abu was called, and Wang Hou got up and said goodbye to the people. It was dark and drizzling, but fortunately the road was smooth, and Abu was familiar with the road conditions, so the two of them hurried to the capital with torches. In less than half an hour, he saw the wind lanterns hanging high on the wall of the capital city from a distance, Wang Hou called Abu, extinguished the torch, tied the horse to the woods by the roadside, and quietly approached the city wall.

Outside the city wall is a moat more than ten zhang wide, and you can vaguely see guards walking back and forth on the moat wall. Wang Hou pulled Abu to the right, avoiding the brightest part of the city gate, and came to a darker section. Abu asked softly: "General, are we going to swim ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and the whole person was paddling on the water surface of the moat, followed by a light body, with the sound of wind in his ears, he crossed the city wall like a cloud and mist, and fell lightly to the ground.

Wang Hou let go of his hand, wiped the mustache on his lips and looked at Abu, Abu came back to his senses for a long time, turned around, and asked in a low voice: "General, we have already entered the city?" Hearing Wang Hou's hum, he asked again, "Is the general from Gu Nong Agung?" ”

Wang Hou didn't understand what he meant by "Gunon Agung", so he listened to Abu again: "In our mythology, the whole world is divided into the heavenly realm, the earth realm, and the underworld, and according to legend, in the middle of the sky, there is a sacred mountain, called Gunon Agung, which is the place where the gods live. ”

Wang Hou patted Abu's shoulder: "Hehe...... So sure, have you ever been to Mount Kinabalu? Abu showed trepidation: "I don't dare to go there, I heard the old people say that if ordinary people go into Gunon Agung by mistake, they will die there." "Abu, I see that you also have a foundation in martial arts, and when you are successful in martial arts, you will know that it is much easier to climb mountains and mountains, fly eaves and walk walls than ordinary people...... Alright, let's go to the palace now. ”

The city is quiet, there is a wind lantern hanging on the street not far away, and from time to time there is a uniform footstep, which shows that the soldiers are patrolling in formation, and it seems that the martial law in the city is much tighter than outside the city. Abu was already thin and weak, and had little weight in Wang Hou's hands, and the two of them swept forward quickly on the roof, and without much effort, they saw a brightly lit manor.

The royal palace of Sumatra is similar to the Manraka system, with a series of palaces with brown tiles and eaves hidden among the trees, and there is a guard standing every three or five steps in the garden, and several groups of men and horses are constantly patrolling back and forth, although there are many guards, but it is silent, and the atmosphere is very solemn.

The two of them looked down from the top of the tall coconut tree for a moment, and Abu whispered close to Wang Hou's ear: "It seems that the king was really killed, these guards usually wear white clothes and green skirts, but now they are all white, are we going to the mourning hall or to the king's usual sleeping palace?" ”

Wang Hou asked in surprise, "Where is the mourning hall?" Why is there no wailing? "We believe in Islam here, there is a saying, 'after death, it is better to spread gold and silver, than to be filial piety during life', according to the rules of Islam, the burial is not more than three days, the burial must be thrifty, regardless of the high and low are equal, no coffin, are wrapped in three feet of white cotton cloth. All people can't cry bitterly, the funeral ceremony is simple and quiet, so now the palace will be so quiet, otherwise so many people will definitely not be so quiet. ”

Only then did Wang Hou understand, no wonder the entire capital was like this, and he pondered for a moment: "Let's go to the mourning hall first." Abu pointed forward with his hand: "The mourning hall should be set up in the back temple, and we need to go around it." After the two of them decided, they swept up another coconut tree and quietly went around the back under the cover of the branches.

The back garden of the palace was also full of guards, all of whom were silent and rarely moved, and from time to time patrolling guards came over. Wang Hou waited for a long time, but still had no chance to cross the palace wall. At this time, the raindrops became heavier and rustled on the trees.

Wang Hou broke off a coconut leaf, the leaf was like a feather, more than a zhang long, held it in his hand, and waited for the opportunity. Finally, a gust of wind blew, Wang Hou threw the leaves out of the way, and the huge leaves with a strong wind fell far away on the ground within the palace wall, making a "bang" sound.

The guards were stunned at first, and then a few of them drew their scimitars and quietly outflanked them. Wang Hou took this opportunity to jump over the palace wall with Abu, exert force under his feet, and went directly to the nearest palace and fell down in the dark. The guards saw a coconut leaf lying on the ground and looked up, and one of them stretched out his foot and kicked it, as if he was not satisfied with the leaf.

Hiding in the dark, Wang Hou was a little determined, after all, the light could not shine on the roof, so he could move much more freely, waited for a while, and saw that there was no abnormality below, under the guidance of Abu, a few ups and downs stepped lightly on the brown tiles, crossed the four palaces, and lay down on a high raised eaves.

Eavesdropping is not the first time for Wang Hou. Although Abu had never had such an experience, he was alert by nature, and he followed Wang Hou's example and lay motionless on the tile. I heard a man's voice below say: "I am also very shocked and saddened by the death of Brother Wang...... Sister-in-law, people cannot be resurrected after death, and I have ordered a thorough search of every corner of the capital, digging three feet into the ground to catch the assassin, and hand him over to you to kill with your own hands. ”

A woman's soft voice said in a sad voice: "The assassin who killed His Majesty must be found, Brother Wang, this matter will depend on you." Didn't you say that the second prince was coming back today, why hasn't there been any news of him yet? The previous man's voice: "Since last night's incident, I have been busy tracking down the assassins, and I really forgot that Hani is coming back, it may be that the rain has been heavy in the past few days, and the fleet has been affected." Sister-in-law Wang, I will send someone to inquire early tomorrow morning to see if Daming's fleet has arrived. ”
