Chapter 354: The Fleet Arrives in Persia
On the sixth day of October in the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from Guli Port, thousands of sails are like clouds, in the cheers of the crowd on the shore and the earth-shattering gongs and drums, one after another tall buildings and ships sailed out of the harbor. On the main deck of the "Tian Yuan", Wang Hou and everyone waved to the shore. On the shore, Prince Froze stood at the side of his father, King Shamidi, and saw the fleet off.
The flotilla soon entered the vast sea. Wang Hou held the side of the boat, watched the scenery on the shore gradually drift away, and remembered that it was only a month before and after Guli, but too many changes had happened: first Hu Jun killed and injured the Mei brothers, and then he and Qiao Lin were ambushed and thrown into the sea, but the internal force was completely recovered unexpectedly, and he escaped, sparing Prince Froze regardless of his previous suspicions.
I wanted to go to Lianhua Farm to get a few days of leisure, but because of Cortana's silk scarf, there was a dispute with the preaching village, defeated the chief, and rescued Xinlian's little sister "Holy Daughter", the two things caused a lot of trouble, but fortunately, with the help of Prince Froze, the dispute was settled. Immediately after the stampede of the Uncovered Assembly, which resulted in 300 casualties, in order to save Cortana, he went to the Zoroastrian altar 800 miles away, and was finally cured by chance.
After returning to Guli, he told Zheng Zongbing the truth about Chen Xiong's destruction of the Wusha Conference, Zheng Zongbing was also very angry, he had said before that this was not within the reach of the forces of the Bolin State, but he didn't expect him to run to a neighboring country and incite Zoroastrianism to stir up trouble, I have to say that Chen Xiong's resourcefulness is indeed outstanding, and he caused such a big consequence with a few people. And he did this to take revenge on Guli and add trouble to Zheng Zongbing.
Zheng Zongbing weighed it, the so-called "wronged head, debtor owner", did not want Guli to send troops to exterminate Zoroastrianism, so he persuaded the king of Shami to think long-term, write down this account for the time being, and wait for the appropriate time. King Shamidi had a good relationship with Zheng Zongbing and reluctantly agreed.
"Helper, are you still looking at Xinlian?" Jolene didn't know when she was standing beside her. Wang Hou retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "Xinlian? Who is it? "Liar!" Qiao Lin snorted, turned her head away, and sighed softly, "I want to go back to Adan with my sister, she insists on going back to Ceylon, I don't know when I can see you again?" ”
Princess Celestia had set out for Ceylon three days earlier, and Wang Hou and Jolene had sent them on the road. Wang Hou has a deep respect for the holy monk, if he hadn't met him, not only would the recovery of internal strength be far away, but it would be even more difficult to escape the catastrophe! Although when I calmed down, I felt that the Holy Monk's actions might be because of Jolene, but in any case, he was of great favor to himself.
The palace maid drove the carriage, and several people did not take the carriage and walked slowly. The eldest princess and Qiao Lin talked softly, and Wang Hou walked side by side with Tiesaro and asked, "Since the holy monk has come to Guli, not far from Persia, why don't you go and see the Dharma Zen staff?" "The Dharma Zen rod is a sacred object of Buddhism, only people who are related to the Buddha can get it, and others get it not only useless but harmless. The old man is approaching, so let someone who is destined to get it. There was no joy on his face.
Wang Hou's heart trembled, and he said for a while: "The holy monk is a generation of high monks, so he won't reach the limit so quickly, right?" I also hope that the holy monk can go to Daming to travel. Tesara pronounced a Buddha call: "Amitabha! 'All actions are impermanent, all dharmas have no self, nirvana is silent, and all leaks are suffering' all dharma causes are born and extinguished, impermanence and selflessness, birth and death are continuous, why should we die of old age and sorrow? Lao can meet the donor several times, and it can be regarded as fate. The benefactor is a genius, but there are still many calamities, and you need to be careful...... Amitabha! ”
Wang Hou was silent for a while. Seeing that ten miles were sent, the eldest princess stopped: "General Wang, let's go here; Jolene, remember my words, don't be willful on the road. Wang Hou always had an indescribable awe of her, perhaps because of the impression of being robbed on the emerald blue island, and bowed deeply to the eldest princess and Tiesaro.
Tie Salo saluted in return, turned around and walked forward, the red monk's robe was swept up by the wind, and the thin back was left to Wang Hou, which was moved and emotional.
Seeing off the eldest princess and the holy monk, because they had already resigned to Master Ali and the others, Wang Hou and Qiao Lin did not return to Lianhua Farm, but went straight back to the harbor.
According to Tie Salo's arrangement, Xiao Na stayed in Lianhua Farm, and Master Ali taught her martial arts, and her body was full of hot and cold true qi, and it only took one year to become the second master of the farm, second only to Master Ali. Nine years later, because she was able to suppress the flames, with the help of the Red Right Envoy, she was enshrined as the leader of the Zoroastrians. In the dark, it is true that "everything that has happened before is cause and effect." ”
Before leaving, Wang Hou has always wanted to visit the King of Daci, if there is no him, all the Mei brothers will be killed, and under the deterioration of the situation, Hu Jun will inevitably escape the blame, and the only way to apologize is to die; At the same time, if he hadn't caught the Zoroastrian fake monks in the chaos, the stampede of the Uncovered Assembly would have become impossible to detect. But after the stampede, His Holiness did not know where to go.
Last night was the Christmas of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, according to the previous legend, standing on the beach on the night of the fifth day of the tenth month, you can see the Buddha light in the northwest direction? As a result, the seaside was overcrowded, and the northwest direction was full of golden light. However, Wang Hou was more concerned about whether he could meet the Dharma King Daci, but he did not find out, guessing that he may have returned to Wusizang, or perhaps he had gone to Persia to explore the Dharma Zen staff. If it's the latter, maybe it'll happen again. Wang Hou also wanted to visit Hu Jun at Lianhua Temple, but after knowing that he was in retreat with the wall, he had to give up.
Qiao Lin and Wang Hou looked at the sea in the distance, thinking about their own thoughts. I don't know how long it took, Qiao Lin rumbled in her belly, woke up, and touched Wang Hou: "I have a good relationship with Brother Jammy, and after we arrive in Persia, we will live in the palace, okay?" ”
Wang Hou knew that the eldest brother Jami she said was Jami, the son of Kurumus, at the Beijing Martial Arts Conference, he was in the same group as Jolene, Froze and himself, and his martial arts were called "Bin Dao", and from time to time he made some small movements around his neck and knees, and the moves were weird, but Jolene defeated him with only ten moves. Although Jami lost, he especially admired the ten-year-old princess Jolene, and Jolene also treated him as a big brother, and at that time he wanted to get rid of the entanglement of Prince Froze, so he used Jami to alienate Froze.
"Did the little princess suffer in Guli this month and want to go to the Persian palace to live a luxurious life?" Wang Hou teased. Jolene looked away, and sighed softly: "Time flies so fast, a month in the blink of an eye, there are only three months left, and we are going to separate." I think that during this time, I can live in the palace and not let others disturb me, and I can accompany you well......"
These words, if they were a Ming woman, even if they were like the Lily Fairy, they would not be so straightforward. Wang Hou panicked for a while, and couldn't help but think that Yan'er and the others should arrive at Mugudushu before September 10, and according to the itinerary, they might stop at Mugudushu at this time, or maybe send the envoys of Bu Rawa back to China.
"Helper, it's noon, and I'm already hungry." Qiao Lin saw that Wang Hou was distracted, shook his hair, and pulled his sleeve, "Persia is not allowed to drink, while we can drink now, let's drink two more glasses!" ”
☆☆☆☆☆ Hurumus, also known as Persia, the history of the Ming Dynasty records that it is a large Western country, from Guli to the northwest direction, 25 days to arrive, "the southeast barbarian states and the Atlantic merchant ships, the Western Regions Jia people, all come to trade, so the treasure is overflowing." It can be seen that traders from all over the world gathered here, forming the prosperity and prosperity of Persia.
The climate of Persia is divided into cold and summer, with a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and ten thousand trees withering in autumn, frost and no snow, more dew and less rain. Although the land is poor, the price of grain is very cheap because of the abundance of grain sold here. "Many people are fair-skinned and magnificent, and women cover their faces with veils." The king and his subordinates all followed Islam, and their medical skills were the same as those of China.
On the afternoon of the first day of November, after twenty-five days at sea, Zheng He's fleet arrived at Persian Harbor. Previously, Persia was part of the Timurid Empire, and after Timur's death (1405), the empire quickly collapsed and its rule was reduced, and soon Persia was ruled by the Black Sheep Dynasty.
King Carla personally came to the harbor to greet Zheng He, Zheng He has been here for the third time, the two have not seen each other for several years, at this time the reunion of old friends are full of emotion, greetings, hand in front, out of the harbor, the king pulled Zheng He on the dragon chariot. Because the palace is only twenty miles from the harbor, there are many hikes. Jami accompanied Qiao Lin and Wang Hou, followed by a team of nearly 100 envoys, and at the back were more than 400 soldiers carrying boxes of brocade, colorful silks, saros and other gifts.
Along the way, Wang Hou saw that the houses on both sides of the avenue were mostly made of stones, walnuts, pomegranates, jujubes and other fruit trees were planted on the field in front of the door, cows and horses could be seen leisurely gnawing grass in the forest, and the clear "bleating" cry of the sheep came from afar, as if returning to his hometown.
Entering the royal palace, the palaces inside are all made of granite, and the highest house is as high as four floors, which looks dignified and magnificent; The shallow grass in the courtyard is mostly planted with palm and citrus trees, which contrast with the blue sky, white, gray-brown roof. The ceremonial officer in charge of the reception had already led everyone to rest, and Qiao Lin was originally arranged in the Adan Pavilion, but she insisted on persuading Wang Hou and Jammie to transfer to the Chinese Pavilion, next to Wang Hou's room.
In the next few days, Jami came to visit when he was fine, and at the martial arts conference, he saw Wang Hou's martial arts with his own eyes, so he came to ask for martial arts; Wang Hou also has questions to answer and knows everything. Jolene was already a martial artist, in addition to listening to the discussion between the two, she also encouraged Brother Jammie to ask the helper for tricks, and she applauded on the side.
Time passed quickly in such comfort, and more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Jami also paid close attention to the news of the Dharma Meditation Staff and brought the latest news, but November 17 was approaching day by day, and everything was still calm and there was no news.
Wang Hou has experienced too many things since he hit the sea, but at this moment he feels more and more uneasy, and has a premonition that a storm is coming. Sure enough, on the morning of the 15th, Zheng He came to Wang Hou and told him something.
