[Today's 20th Update, 9th Update]

The next day, Wang Hou was still sleeping, he was woken up by the knock on the door of ping-pong, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn. When the door opened, it turned out to be Jolene standing outside the door. "Why are you up so early? Little princess. Wang Hou asked, stretching his waist.

"I can't sleep, you're not around, I'm not used to it, what should I do?" Jolene pushed Wang Hou away, walked to the side of the bed, and fell straight on the bed. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Wang Hou called softly, "Qiao Lin...... Joleen! "What's the reaction. Scalp at a glance: If Yan'er sees this fight, she can't argue, no, you have to call her up quickly.

Wang Hou thought for a while, turned to the door and said, "Yo, General Protector, why are you here?" Morning! Looking back, I saw that Jolene's body moved, and she didn't sit up. Then he said, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are here too, please sit down and please ......" Before he finished speaking, the back of his head sank, but he was hit by a pillow.

Jolene sat on the bed and stared at him. Wang Hou asked cautiously: "Qiao Lin, didn't you say last night that there is a 'girl in the bed' in the city whose scones are very delicious, and you want to take us over in the morning?" Jolene sneered and said, "What 'girl in bed', that's called 'Bint Soha', I slept late last night, and Elder Yan hasn't gotten up yet." "Didn't you say last night that 'bint Soha' means 'girl in bed'?" "What did people say? People say that it's called 'plate, medium, young, female', and it's a girl in bed, it's really ugly. ”

Wang Hou laughed and said, "Then what are you still doing on the bed?" Hurry down. The words reminded Jolene, and her eyelids gradually closed again. Wang Hou hurriedly said, "Qiao Lin, don't you like to watch martial arts?" I told your senior brother last night, I have time to talk to him, why don't we go to him now? "What else are you talking about...... In the past few days, he has to accompany Zheng Zongbing, and he heard his father say that he will go to sea this afternoon. ”

Wang Hou remembered that the fleet was going to dig sea mud, and it seemed that the general of the protector was going to accompany Zheng Zongbing to the sea. But there has always been a puzzle in my heart: since the sea mud contains gold and is very precious, how could the Adan Kingdom allow Zheng Zongbing to excavate? He asked, "Jolene, is your father not opposed to the digging of sea mud?" ”

"Against? What are you against...... Qiao Lin opened her eyes, asked curiously, and said, "The sea mud is at a very deep seabed, it is difficult to dig, I heard my father say that only the treasure ship can be dug up, and Zheng Zongbing will not be disadvantaged, give us half of it." Wang Hou nodded secretly, no wonder the Lou boat was called a treasure ship, it turned out that there was this reason.

"I'm so sleepy, don't talk to me, I'm going to sleep." Qiao Lin was about to fall asleep, Wang Hou hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said hurriedly: "Qiao Lin, I have something for you." ”

The words seemed to have an effect, and Jolene suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Really?" What's good? Wang Hou was afraid that she would fall asleep, so he said casually, seeing this situation, he had to put his hand into his pocket, pretending to pick it up, and there was a soft thing at the tentacle, and his heart moved and took it out.

When Jolene saw it, she said angrily, "What are you doing?" Broken things! People don't want it! What Wang Hou was holding in his hand was a ball of fishing nets. When he and Qiao Lin came out of the Shore Seafood Restaurant, when they caught the thief, they were covered by this fishing net, the fishing net was very tenacious, Wang Hou's internal strength was only recovered fifty percent at that time, and he couldn't break free, and he was sealed by Hu Jun, thrown into the sea and almost died, and Qiao Lin was almost insulted by Prince Froze.

Later, Wang Hou let go of Froze, captured Hu Jun and searched for this fishing net from him, knowing that it was made of heavenly silk, which could cover a square circle of one zhang, and the weight was extremely light and could be held with one palm, so he put it away. I thought that if I ran into Chen Xiong in the future, maybe it would come in handy, but I didn't expect Chen Xiong to die under the "Dharma Zen Staff" in the end.

At this time, when Jolene saw the fishing net, she naturally remembered what happened that night and became angry. Wang Hou coaxed: "Qiao Lin, don't underestimate this fishing net, it is made of silk, bad people use it, they will only use it as a cocoon, and good people use it to prevent accidents." If you take it with you, you will think that I am protecting you at all times. ”

Although Qiao Lin didn't understand what "cocooning and self-restraint" meant, she felt that Wang Hou's words sounded reasonable, and she was about to reach out to pick it up, but she heard someone at the door praise: "Well said!" 'Bad people use it, they will only cocoon themselves, and good people can use it to prevent accidents. General Wang was very philosophical. ”

The two looked for prestige, and it turned out that Zheng He walked in. Wang Hou stuffed the fishing net to Qiao Lin, and hurriedly turned around and bowed his hand. After sitting down, Zheng He asked: "General Wang's words just now reminded me of the words of De Neng that day when I talked with the general in Sumatra Harbor?" ”

Of course, Wang Hou remembered that the buffalo gladiatorial fight that day, he helped the second prince win with the "Ten Flavors of Heavenly Fragrance Needle", after that, Zheng He sighed that the real viciousness was not the martial arts weapon, but the person who mastered the martial arts weapon. When a bad person is used in a bad place, he is doing evil.

Wang Houying said: "I remember, that day, Zheng Zongbing also said that the people of the rivers and lakes often fight to the death with martial arts secrets and magic weapons, but they don't know that these things are lived by the virtuous, and those without virtue will only attract the curse of heaven and bring bad luck even if they get it, so once they participate in the competition, they have lost their qualifications." ”

Zheng He nodded and said: "Yes, take the Malin Qibao as an example, the Bolin Gang is an island country, there are countless reefs, and ships run aground repeatedly, if Chen Xiong sets up the Malin Qibao somewhere, it can make the ships avoid the reefs, how many people will be benefited!" But he only thought about using it to harm people, but instead he hurt his mind and did stupid things. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng He suddenly quipped: "It turns out that the little princess is also here?" I just saw that it was disrespectful and disrespectful. After a few casual conversations, he added, "We plan to stay here for two months, what arrangements does General Wang have?" Wang Houying said: "There is no arrangement, what does Zheng Zongbing command, just say." ”

Zheng He smiled: "I want to discuss with General Wang how to excavate sea mud, but there is no hurry for the time being, let you rest for a few days." Wang Hou guessed that Qiao Lin was here, and he might not be able to say something directly. Secretly said: "Little Beauty" I don't know if I followed, I haven't called it for a while, I can go to the beach with Yan'er this afternoon, if there is a little beauty here, digging sea mud may be of great help.

Zheng He changed the subject: "General Wang's martial arts last night are really staggering, not only do you need extremely strong internal force, but you also have to handle it just right, otherwise even the teacup will be shattered, it can be seen that your 'Four Connected Styles' is a big step forward than before." ”

Qiao Lin originally stood up and was about to leave, but when she heard Zheng He say this, she sat down again, looked at Wang Hou, and waited for him to say the following. Wang Hou did not hide it, and said again the use of the "four ways of communication". Before at sea, when he was idle, he often learned martial arts with Zheng He and the Ruthless Gang, so Zheng He and Qiao Lin knew a lot about the "Four Ways of Communication", combined with what they saw last night, at this time, they both felt that they benefited a lot from listening to him use the mental method.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Jolene said "ah": "No wonder I was hungry and forgot to eat breakfast." I'll go and see if Elder Yan and the others are awake, let's eat together. Just as he was about to go out, he caught a glimpse of a figure at the door and said, "Who?" ”

The figure at the door stopped, it was the ceremonial officer, and he said: "Little princess, it's a subordinate, it turns out that Zheng Zongbing is here, and someone outside the door asks to see Zheng Zongbing." ”

Zheng He asked, "Who?" The ceremonial officer bowed and said, "My subordinates don't know." Hearing him say that he came from the Ming Dynasty, he entered the palace with Guan Wen and Fu Jie, and was anxious to enter the Chinese Pavilion to see you, but was stopped outside by the guards, and he claimed to be Hou ...... Hou Xian. ”

Zheng He's face changed, he hurriedly stood up, and said hurriedly: "Invite him in!" Before he could finish speaking, the man had already left the room. It was the first time for Wang Hou to see him so flustered, he only felt that the name Hou Xian was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he was stunned and followed out.

The Chinese Pavilion is the largest embassy in the palace, heavily guarded, Wang Hou walked along the corridor to the gate, and saw Zheng Zongbing kneeling on the ground facing the east, and in front of him, there was a person dressed in a red yarn, with a white face and beard, and about fifty years old. Wang Hou suddenly remembered: It turned out to be Lord Hou who acted as an arbitrator at the martial arts conference!

Wang Hou was not mistaken, it was Hou Xian who came. At first, Hou Xian was just an ascetic, and thus became acquainted with the abbot of Guangjing, and the two had a close relationship, and then went to Nanjing as a general's groom, and soon won attention, and was promoted to join the army after the Ili War. He went to the West with Zheng He twice and was promoted to the rank of Master of Ceremonies and Young Eunuch.

Hou Xian held the holy decree of the Yellow List in his hand and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: I bow to the mandate of heaven, only Shao Hongtu, the antique system, Zhaojian two capitals, is the eighth day of April in the nineteenth year of Yongle Fengtian and other three halls fire, I am afraid, I don't know what to do...... Zhao Zhenghe immediately returned to the dynasty to return to heaven's will. Chin this! ”

Wang Hou was stunned when he heard this: The newly built Forbidden City caught fire on the eighth day of April last year? What does this have to do with Zheng Zongbing, why is he in a hurry to order him to return? was stunned, but he heard Zheng He kowtow and say: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After receiving the holy decree, Hou Xian took a few steps forward and helped Zheng He up: "General soldier, please get up quickly!" Zheng He stood up, his expression was grim, and he sighed for a long time: "Lord Hou, I have long known that those ministers can't do big things, and they don't want to do small things, they will only play right and wrong in front of the saints, there are so many halls in the Forbidden City, what's the fuss about the fire in the three halls?" I led a fleet of thousands of miles here, and I was about to find a treasure, but at this time I was ordered to go back! ”

"Don't mind, the chief soldier, this matter is complicated, and it is not clear for a while, so we will go in and talk in detail." Hou Xian comforted Zheng He, saw Wang Hou approaching, and said in surprise, "General Zhaoyi? So you're here too? ……”
