Chapter 306: Eternal Monument

Wang Hou and Qiao Lin looked up and saw a stone tablet standing in the distance, nearly a foot high, standing straight on the rock. After approaching, Wang Hou carefully looked at it, the stele is about five feet wide, made of granite, with Indian red, the head of the turtle is on the stele base, the border is surrounded by high reliefs with the sea lang, the stele body is engraved with two lines of big gold characters, the text says: "The country goes to China more than 100,000 miles, the people are salty, according to the same wind, carved in the stone, forever show the world." ”

Qiao Lin saw Wang Hou staring at the stone tablet silently, she didn't know the Chinese characters, and asked, "Helper, what is written?" "It is written above, Princess Jolene is beautiful, kind-hearted, and the number one ...... in the world" Wang Hou didn't finish speaking, and suddenly felt a stiffness in his back, and turned his head to look, it turned out that Jolene shook out his wand and put it against his waist.

Seeing this, Zheng He remembered what Wang Hou said to the Lily Fairy that day, "I treat Qiao Lin like my own sister, and I never dare to have the slightest distraction, and the fairy can't joke next time." I can't help but think of my childhood, when I was happy with my brother and sister.

Zheng He's ancestor was originally a nobleman under the command of the king of Yunnan in the Yuan Dynasty, and was very respected in Kunyang, Yunnan. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), the Ming army launched a southern expedition to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan. Later, at the age of fourteen, he was arranged to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, and gradually became a close confidant of Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Zheng He sighed secretly: It should be said that he is an unfortunate person, but he is very lucky to meet the current saint.

Seeing Zheng He facing the vast sea, thoughtfully, Wang Hou stopped laughing with Qiao Lin, walked to Zheng He's side, and asked softly for a while: "Chief soldier, what do you remember?" Bringing us here, is there any allusion to this stele? ”

Zheng He came back to his senses and said slowly: "Thirteen years ago, that is, in the sixth year of Yongle, I was ordered by the Holy Lord to go to the West for the second time, and once again came to Guli, I established a friendly relationship with the king of Shamidi, and felt that although this place is far away from China, the customs and customs are very similar, so I erected a stele here as a commemoration, which is the first stele I set up overseas. ”

Only then did Qiao Lin understand the meaning of the inscription, glanced at Wang Hou, and muttered in a low voice: "There is no here, Da Ming is good." Zheng He sighed lightly: "The princess is right...... However, to evaluate whether a place is good or bad, it depends more on whether the local people are rich in life and whether the folk customs are simple. ”

After a pause, Zheng He looked at Wang Hou: "When I was in Ceylon, you mentioned Froze to me, and I was worried that after I arrived in Guli, I would be troubled by him, and I was too careless about this matter, I didn't expect him to dare to do this secretly!" I think you handled last night's incident very appropriately, neither compromising nor letting things go. The general don't have to worry, the tradition of Guri has never been that of a prince taking over the throne, and if Froz had understood the matter a little, he would definitely have stopped and would not dare to repeat the incident. ”

"Actually, at the beginning of last night, I was also very angry, and it didn't subside until Froze told the reason for the incident, and it was not wrong for him to like Princess Jolene......" Speaking of this, Wang Hou stopped, it turned out that Jolene's wand was against his waist again, and when he saw Zheng He looking over, Jolene snorted and took the wand. Wang Hou continued, "If it weren't for Hu Jun's instigation, I don't think Froze would have taken the extreme action like last night, and the culprit of the matter was Hu Jun." ”

Zheng He asked, "General Wang thinks it's safe to deal with Hu Jun?" Wang Hou hurriedly said: "He is the former subordinate of the general army, how dare I make irresponsible remarks?" …… If the chief soldier wants to ask for advice, I think it's better to call the Wudang Seven Heroes to negotiate together, okay? But I told the Strange Prince that I would not tell anyone what happened last night. ”

"That's what I wanted, so let's go back." Zheng He nodded, stared at the stele for a moment, and then reluctantly turned around. Wang Hou didn't know at this time that the next time Zheng He came here would be twelve years later. In the sixth year of Xuande (1431), he was ordered to go to the West for the seventh time, and in the eighth year of Xuande (1433), the sixty-two-year-old Zheng He finally became ill due to overwork on the way back, and the ship traveled to Guli, where he unfortunately died. This stone monument that "shows eternity forever" witnesses more than glory and vicissitudes.

The three of them got on the "Tianyuan", and Zheng He asked Li Xing to invite the seven sons of Wudang and the lily fairy to come over. The effort was not big, eight people rushed over, and when the Lily Fairy saw Wang Hou, she couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Helper, are you disguised again?" Wang Hou touched his face and asked, "Is it ugly?" ”

The lily fairy shook her head: "I don't think you look like Yi Rong, why haven't you seen you for a few days, you haven't turned black but turned white?" Wang Hou glanced at Qiao Lin and said with a smile: "The fairy hasn't heard of it, what is a foil?" Jolene didn't understand what "foil" meant, but she heard the lily fairy's voice: "The helper is so bold, princess, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?" ”

"What? Why teach him? Jolene became more and more confused. Fairy, Mr. Zheng called you over to discuss business. Wang Hou hurriedly forked his way, and according to Zheng He's meaning, he briefly told the events of last night, but he didn't mention the strange prince at all, only that Hu Jun colluded with others.

The seven sons of Wudang have taken turns to lead people to set up an ambush in the harbor in the past few days, but they have gained nothing, and they are all excited when they hear that they have caught Hu Jun at this time. The second child, Yu Di, was upright by nature and said: "It's not simple, hand him over to the Mei family brothers to deal with, one life is worth one life, not counting the injury to the boss of the Mei family, he still earns it." ”

Lao Qi Mo Gong also said: "The second senior brother is right, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is grievance to repay grievances, Hu Jun has no favor to the fleet, so he owes the Mei family brothers, and naturally has to pay ......" The lily fairy knew that Hu Jun was Zheng He's old subordinate, so he glanced at Mo Gong and signaled him not to say any more, Mo Gong saw it, and quickly stopped.

Zheng He looked at the boss Song Tian and asked, "Song Daxia, what is your opinion?" "Zheng Zongbing, if this matter is not controlled by Gang Master Wang in time, it will be difficult to predict the outcome, and it is very likely to bring great trouble to the fleet. Therefore, what Hu Jun did was of a bad nature and cannot be easily forgiven, Sixth Senior Brother, what do you say? With Song Tian's generous temperament, he also felt that he couldn't let go of Hu Jun.

The sixth Yin Cheng didn't speak, he vaguely felt that Wang Hou was hiding something, he had analyzed it before, Hu Jun had been isolated from the world for fifteen years on the island of refuge, how did he get acquainted with that Guli thief when he came out? Although Wang Hou just said that he was poisoned by the other party in the seafood restaurant last night, and when he came out, he found a thief, chased him into the forest and caught Hu Jun, but Yin Cheng knew that things would definitely not be so simple, but Wang Hou didn't want to say more, so he naturally didn't want to ask more. At this time, I listened to the senior brother ask for his own opinion, and replied: "As the senior brother said just now, if the matter is not controlled by the Wang Gang Master in time, it will be unimaginable, so it is even more necessary to listen to the opinion of the Wang Gang Master." ”

Wang Hou saw that everyone was looking at him in unison, and said in a deep voice: "When I was kidnapped by Tiesaro to Emerald Blue Island, I was kidnapped by Hu Jun and taken to the island of refuge, although I only got along with Hu Jun for more than a day, I felt very deeply: he is a person with great feelings. Because of this, after catching him for the first time, Zheng Zongbing did not punish him, but also gave him silver taels and clothes, and released him. Unexpectedly, he didn't want to repent, but he actually intensified his efforts and committed irreparable mistakes to the Mei brothers, and he had to give an explanation to ......

"What's the explanation?" The second Yu Di saw that Wang Hou was silent, and asked anxiously. Wang Hou suddenly showed a determined expression: "I was kidnapped by him and taken to the island of refuge, not only did I not embarrass me, but I also got a blessing in disguise, and I learned a lot from him, and I am still very grateful to him until now...... Mr. Zheng, I have a reluctant request, can you give me a chance to fight with him fairly. ”

Zheng He pondered for a while: "General Wang, Hu Jun was originally my old subordinate, and the person he has always hated is me...... He's now your defeated man, and there's no point in fighting again, so let's be a referee, and I'll have a good fight with him! If I lose, as long as the Mei brothers don't pursue it, let him go; If he loses, it can be said that the old account is just old and a new account is added, and he can only be blamed for his life. It's been fifteen years, and I wanted to let him go...... However, with his character, it is not surprising that he has come to this point. ”

Song Tian was the first to ask, "This is not big, right?" Zheng Zongbing, you are the leader of the fleet, how can he be qualified to do something with you? Let our brothers fight for you. Zheng He arched his hand and said: "Thank you Song Daxia and all the heroes, the grievances between Hu Jun and me have come to an end. ”

Yin Cheng asked, "Hu Jun was captured, does anyone else in the fleet know?" …… If the Mei brothers knew the news, I am afraid that they would be in a hurry to see them, and it would be difficult to control them. From Wang Hou and Zheng He's words, Yin Cheng felt that they didn't definitely want to kill Hu Jun, otherwise they would be killed directly, so why would there be an extra fight? Because of this, he was worried that the Mei brothers would cause a commotion after they found out, so he reminded him.

Zheng He nodded: "What Yin Liuxia said is that when General Wang took Hu Jun on the boat, could anyone else see it?" "At that time, he and I were both drenched, and people who are not very familiar with him will definitely not recognize it, and I told Li Xing not to leak the news." Wang Hou thought for a moment and said, "That day, I promised the Mei brothers that I would catch the murderers and give them justice, but, but ......."

Wang Houyi said a few "buts" in a row, he wanted to say that his internal strength was completely recovered, and he was absolutely sure of winning, even if Zheng Zongbing went to war, he could also ensure his safety, but in this way, it was finally difficult to say, and he hesitated: "However, I am on the island of refuge, and Hu Jun once told me that he is cracking the island' Inevitable' formation, the formation of the momentum and the formation of the method of fusing together, to create a set of swordsmanship, I have never seen him perform, for the martial artist, if years of penance to create a swordsmanship, before death did not even have the opportunity to perform, is it too cruel? …… So, I think I'll be able to learn his evil sword technique! ”
