On August 30, the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet arrived at Kezhiguo. Kezhi (now the area of Cochin in southwestern India), across the sea from Ceylon, leads to Guli, east is a mountain, the other three sides are surrounded by the sea, the people are quite pure, and most of the houses are built with coconut trees. The climate is usually hot, the year is only divided into the rainy season and the dry season, there is little rain in February and March, often heavy rain in May and June, it begins to clear in July, and it does not rain after August. Due to its unique geographical location, it has always been an important waterway and an important port.

The fleet stayed here for only a short time, and two days later set sail north, and finally sailed into the port of Guri on the morning of the sixth day of September. Because he wanted to anchor here for a month, like the previous times, Zheng He wanted to take officials and envoys to the palace to live, and two days ago he invited Wang Hou to go with him, but Wang Hou had no good impression of the strange prince in his heart, so he naturally did not want to go, so he still used his casual habits as an excuse to politely decline Zheng He's invitation.

At this time, Zheng He was ready, and when he passed by Wang Hou's door, he saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed, knowing that he was practicing again, and asked: "General Wang is really diligent, we are going to the palace, you really don't want to go with you?" ”

Wang Hou had already finished his work, and although his appearance was different from that of Ceylon, he was too lazy to go out, so as not to run into the strange prince and add to the trouble. Hearing Zheng He's question, he hurriedly jumped out of bed and responded with a smile: "I heard the chief soldier say that this place is only more than ten miles away from the palace, and if you really want to have something, you can also report it to the chief soldier in time." ”

Zheng He nodded and said: "It's okay, the fleet is here, now it is handed over to Li Xing, the commander of the right capital, to be specifically responsible, and if the general has something, he can order him to handle it." There are less than 2,000 people living in the palace, including the envoys of various countries, so the large army is still here, and I will send people every day to find out the situation. ”

After a pause, Zheng He remembered something, and said: "Last time, General Wang and I talked about the Wusha Conference, and now I don't know the specific time, wait for the shore to inquire, if this is the case, it is a rare opportunity." The main purpose of the Uncovered Conference is to give alms and propagate the Dharma, and I will send someone to ask General Wang to listen to the propagation of the Dharma, which may be of great benefit to you. ”

Wang Hou responded with a good voice. On the emerald blue island, Wang Hou heard some information about the Uncovered Conference from the mouths of Tiesaro and the eldest princess, and knew that this conference was not only a grand event of Buddhism, but also a four-part conference of monks, nuns, good men, and believers, and Tiesaro said twice that he could meet again, so he naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

As he spoke, the treasure ship was already moored. There was the sound of drums outside, presumably from the country of Guri. "General Wang, then let's talk about it like this." Zheng He patted Wang Hou's shoulder, turned around and walked towards the group of people waiting at the top of the stairs, and dropped a sentence, "The weather has been good these days, and Tang Jing and Nanhai Gong should sail smoothly over there." ”

Wang Hou watched Zheng He stride away, remembering that they had been separated from Yan'er on August 28, and that nine days had passed until today, and he wished them a smooth voyage. Turned back into the room, closed the door, and saw through the porthole that there was a sea of people outside, and many officers and soldiers carried down the whole box of Wenqi fabric from the ship, presumably a gift from the Yongle Emperor; At the same time, there were large quantities of goods such as porcelain and silk, which was official trade. After these people left the port, the Tea Horse Gang, the Salt Gang and other gangs also unloaded the goods, some of which were brought from the Ming Dynasty, and some were sold from countries along the way, preparing to use a month's time to carry out private trade with the Guli Kingdom.

In the crowd, Zheng He, who was wearing a red robe, became more and more conspicuous. Wang Hou saw the person who was parallel to Zheng He, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sturdy figure, and a vigorous walk, it was Prince Froze, and he saw that he was spreading his hands forward from time to time, saying something to Zheng He. Because of the distance and the noisy sound outside, Wang Hou couldn't hear his words, but judging from the gestures, he was obviously dissatisfied.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a rough-looking woman came in and said happily, "Helper, you really, didn't go down?" Wang Hou withdrew his gaze from the porthole and asked, "Qiao Lin, why didn't you go to the palace?" ”

Nine days ago, when the two of them left for Ceylon, Jolene asked Wang Hou about his plans after arriving in Guli, and he didn't plan to live in the palace at that time. After getting on the "Tian Yuan", although they were on the same third floor, they never met. Wang Hou practiced every day, and he didn't even bother to get out of the door, so naturally he wouldn't go to the stern of the boat to look for her, and Qiao Lin didn't come over for some reason.

Qiao Lin entered the room, closed the door with her backhand, and sat down on the chair, with a sullen look on her face: "Elder Liu is right, that Froze, it's really weird, you and I made a move with him that day, but he was still entangled, came to me every day, and sent his subordinates to spy on me." I'm afraid of causing you trouble, these days, I didn't come to you, just now he invited me to go to the palace, I won't go. ”

Although Qiao Lin said bluntly, Wang Hou immediately understood that Qiao Lin had been entangled by the strange prince in the past few days, and it seemed that after the strange prince was rejected by Qiao Lin again just now, his anger did not subside, and he was probably complaining to Zheng Zongbing. Fortunately, he had already told Zheng Zongbing about Froze in advance, presumably Zheng Zongbing would not believe him anything. "The conditions on the ship are certainly not as good as those in the palace, and besides, people are kind enough to invite you ......"

"You still say," Qiao Lin interrupted Wang Hou's words, and continued, "As long as I am with the helper, I will not go anywhere." What about you? If it were a Ming woman, even if she dared to say this, she would definitely be ashamed, but Qiao Lin boldly looked directly at Wang Hou, waiting for an answer.

Wang Hou was stunned: "Me? What am I? Jolene lowered her head and said, "You don't want to join me, right?" I know you don't like people. ”

Seeing that the more she spoke, the more bold she became, Wang Hou sweated on his forehead, rubbed his hands, opened his mouth to say but didn't know what to say, and was stunned. "I've loved heroes since I was a child, just like the Saint of Adan, a big hero like that......" Jolene whispered her thoughts. It turned out that Qiao Lin practiced martial arts with her sister at a very young age, and she had an extraordinary obsession with martial arts, so that when she grew up, her martial arts were rarely matched in the Adan Kingdom, and even her sister was often defeated under the magic wand.

At the Beijing Martial Arts Conference, she successfully entered the second round of the competition, and originally thought that she could get a good ranking, but she met Wang Hou, because Dao Feng was injured by the Tongba Emperor Division, Wang Hou had no intention of fighting with her, and within three moves, he sent her to the ring with a folding fan.

Qiao Lin didn't expect that she would be defeated so simply, she was not convinced at first, and then when Tumba and Wang Hou finally competed, she sat not far from the stage, saw the fight between the two with her own eyes, and was shocked by the "illusion" of the Tumba Emperor, and was even more impressed by Wang Hou's martial arts that could rise and rise again in the air, and she realized that she was not wronged at all when she was defeated by this person.

After Wang Hou won the victory, when everyone came forward to congratulate, she also stepped forward and replaced his "magic fan" with a magic wand, only to know that it was just an ordinary fan, and she was defeated by this ordinary fan.

After the martial arts conference, Qiao Lin never saw Wang Hou again, boarded the treasure ship from Nanjing, she paid attention many times, and never found Wang Hou's figure, I thought that I would never see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet unexpectedly in Taiping Port in Changle, Fujian! And from Liu Hanyan's mouth, Qiao Lin learned that Wang Hou had always carried a wand with him. Although Wang Hou's purpose in doing this was to figure out the peculiarities of the wand, it made Jolene have infinite reverie, and the hero complex could no longer be suppressed.

In the days that followed, Jolene couldn't move freely and couldn't get along with the hero in her heart, but she was thrilled to know that he wasn't far from her, even though she couldn't see him. It wasn't until the fleet came out of Sumatra and divided into two teams that she finally took the plane to the "Tianzhu" and got along with the Desperate Gang day and night.

After saying this, Qiao Lin was relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, stared at Wang Hou intently, and stopped talking. Wang Houhe had thought about this, at the martial arts conference, Qiao Lin stuffed the wand to herself, which really surprised him, in the concept of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, the blade is more important than life, but this princess of the Adan Kingdom wants to exchange the blade for a very ordinary folding fan.

Because he was busy seeking medical treatment for Dao Feng, he didn't care about returning the wand to her, and it wasn't until Dao Feng recovered that he had the opportunity to study this blade, I don't know what material it was forged, the thickness of the thumb, full of toughness, shaking open up to two feet, shrinking less than four inches, glowing with silver, and cleverly made, through the trigger mechanism, to achieve free expansion and contraction.

Later, after she went up to the "Heavenly Pillar", she actually proposed to join the Heartless Gang, as the princess of the Adan Kingdom, she not only had no fight, but she had a hot fight with Yan'er; He also gave everyone very precious gems. Despite this, Wang Hou never thought about "liking himself", on the one hand, he thought that Qiao Lin's martial arts were good, and he and Liu Hanyan sympathized with them; On the other hand, he already has Liu Hanyan in his heart, and Li Zhixian's shadow looms, where can he hold more?

At this time, after listening to Qiao Lin's bold confession, Wang Hou didn't know how to answer, held back for a long time, and asked a sentence that was not painful: "Qiao Lin, last time I heard you say that the wand is forged from sea mud, you have so many treasures there, even sea mud can make such a magical weapon?" ”

Qiao Lin glared at him for a long time, and then stood up angrily: "Liar, you really, don't like people?" Wang Hou was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said "I like it", how can he be right? Isn't saying "I don't like it" to make Jolene sad? At this moment, a voice outside the door asked, "General Wang, are you there?" ”

Like grasping a life-saving straw, Wang Hou replied repeatedly: "I am here, Li Du commands, please come in, please come in, is there something wrong?" The right commander Li Xing pushed open the hidden door and replied: "General Wang, lunch is ready, do you want someone to send it here, or do you go over to eat?" ”

Wang Hou looked at Qiao Lin with an inquiring gaze, and only heard her say, "Let someone send it over." ”
