[Today's 20th update, 10th update]

In the room, Zheng He sat on the top, and Wang Hou and Hou Xian sat opposite each other. Hou Xian said in detail about the fire of the three halls, the night of the eighth day of the fourth month of the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421) was thunder and lightning, and the three halls of Fengtian, Huagai, and Jinshen were struck by lightning and caught fire, causing a catastrophe, resulting in the Forbidden City, which was built for 13 years and completed less than four months, was burned to pieces, and many people were buried in the fire. After the fire, the Yongle Emperor was extremely shaken, and first blamed himself for his harsh rule, which caused the wrath of the heavens and the people.

The civil and military ministers did not know whether to comfort the saint, or whether they were dissatisfied with Zheng He's fleet going to the Western Ocean, and they all admonished him that the cause of the fire was caused by Zheng He's repeated trips to the Western Ocean and the mobilization of the people. Of course, Emperor Yongle didn't believe it, but it can be seen that the ministers all said this, and in order to calm the anger of the people, he had to send an edict and order Zheng He to rush back quickly.

Hou Xian left Beijing with the holy decree and his entourage from the ninth day of the fifth month, arrived in Chang'an, traveled all the way along the Silk Road, traveled more than 20,000 miles, and finally arrived at Adan.

After listening to Hou Xian's story, Zheng He was silent, and asked for a while: "Lord Hou, the holy decree only says that the class teacher will return to the court, does it say that he will go to Nanjing or Beijing?" Hou Xian hesitated slightly, glanced at Wang Hou, and listened to Zheng He say again, "Lord Hou, you also know General Zhaoyi, this way, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid there would be a lot of chaos, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Hou Xian was originally Zheng He's subordinate, and when he heard this, he no longer hesitated, and cocked his thumb: "The question asked by the chief soldier just now is worthy of being by the saint's side for many years, and he knows what the saint is thinking. Yes, the fire of the three halls, although the saint was worried, but he never doubted the move to the West, the saint often said that for the stability of the north, he used most of the treasury to make life miserable, and you with more than 200 ships, make nearly 40 friends and neighbors, this is a feat of immeasurable merit! ”

Wang Hou said secretly: When I said this in Changle Taiping Port, I heard Zheng Zongbing say that since Emperor Yongle said so, why did he rush back? Directly listening to Hou Xian said again: "You also know that the saint is most worried about the remnants of the northern forces, and he originally thought that after you go back, he would personally conquer Tatar for the third time, but this fire broke out, so the saint decided to go on a personal expedition to the north in advance, so he was in a hurry to order you to rush back." Hou Xian's voice became smaller and quieter, and he suppressed his voice and said, "The Holy Lord ordered you to anchor the treasure ship in Changle, Fuzhou, in case Annan and the Japanese invaders took advantage of the Northern Expedition to cause chaos!" ”

Zheng He nodded, pondered for a while and asked, "Lord Hou, do you know how the dragon body of the saint has been recently?" Hou Xian's face changed, and he couldn't help but glance at Wang Hou again, and his voice was lowered: "Don't hide it from the chief soldier, since the Holy Lord hit the three halls, he often doesn't sleep well and coughs badly...... I heard that Wudang Zhang Zhenren was also asked to prepare the elixir, Zhang Zhenren Shenlong is in the sky, and some people saw him appear in Changbai Mountain in April, looking for a thousand years of wild ginseng...... When I left Beijing, I heard that the elixir was still a few tastes. ”

Hearing Hou Xian say this, Zheng He's eyes were even more worried, and he got up and paced back and forth in the room. Others don't know, but Zheng He knows that the Holy Lord has been fighting immediately for many years, and he has fallen ill, and the fire in the three halls has aggravated his condition...... We must rush back to Daming as soon as possible and persuade the saints! Even if you go out on his behalf, you will feel at ease! After making up his mind, Zheng He said with a resolute gaze: "Without further ado, tomorrow morning, the fleet will rush to Mugudushu, and after the rendezvous, rush back to Daming at full speed!" ”

Zheng He summoned the commander and told him to rush to the harbor immediately, and ordered Li Xing to prepare fresh water and food today and set sail tomorrow. At lunchtime, Zheng He's decision was told to the king of Amand, and he asked him to send more men to help the fleet with fresh water and food. King Amander was surprised, but when he heard that it was the Ming Emperor who ordered him to go back, what else could he say? In addition to asking the general to bring people to help, he could only be comforted with words such as "Be careful on the road, and look forward to Zheng Zongbing coming to Adan again".

Taking advantage of the gap between their conversations, Wang Hou asked Hou Xian: "Lord Hou, I want to ask you about someone, I don't know if you know." Seeing him nodding, he continued, "He is Zhu Ziping of the Martial Arts Conference, I don't know where he is now?" ”

At the martial arts conference, Hou Xian witnessed the whole process, and naturally knew that they were brothers, so he responded: "I left the capital on the ninth day of the fifth month, and I heard that General Zhaoyong left the capital at the end of March and went to Jianzhou Zuowei to visit Brother Meng's Timur. He looked left and right, and lowered his voice again, "When the Holy Lord heard about this, he was very happy, because seven years ago, the Holy Lord went north to conquer Warat, and the fierce brother Timur accompanied the army to personally march and made great achievements, and now with the addition of General Zhaoyong, there will be more generals." ”

Wang Hou's blood boiled when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly to the north, so that he could kill the enemy side by side with Brother Ziping. Liu Hanyan and the others heard that the fleet was going to leave tomorrow, and while they were excited, they remembered that they were going to part with Qiao Lin, and they were reluctant, and wanted to say a few more words to Qiao Lin, but they didn't know where to go, and they didn't come to eat lunch.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Jolene came out of nowhere and entered Wang Hou's room, her eyes swollen like peaches. Liu Hanyan was stunned and asked, "Elder Qiao, who are you?" …… Who bullied you? Isn't it your elder brother? ”

Jolene shook her head and sat down on the bed, not saying a word or looking at anyone. Li Zhixian persuaded: "Princess Jolene, don't be sad, how can there be a banquet in the world that will not be dispersed?" We will also be separated after we return to Daming, and Sister Jin and I will go to the Peach Blossom Sect...... Besides, you are still young, if you have the opportunity to go to Daming in the future, we will accompany you well, okay? Don't cry, your eyes are swollen from crying, and you're dead. ”

When Zhou Qingzhu saw it, he said in a straight voice: "Qiao Lin, if you want to be reluctant to us, go back with us, just like the last time you left Sumatra, didn't you sneak to our ship?" Wang Hou hurriedly stopped: "Ah Zhu, don't talk nonsense, this is the same as last time, this is Qiao Lin's country, and she is a princess, how can you do whatever you want?" ”

Qiao Lin wowed, hugged Zhou Qingzhu and cried, Jin Minhui reached out and patted her on the back, whispering comfort. When Liu Hanyan saw this, he also had tears in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say.

Before dawn the next day, Adan arranged for the soldiers to carry large opals, various kinds of yagu, large pearls, corals and other jewels, along with rare birds and beasts such as unicorns, lions, flower deer (i.e., zebras), leopards, camels, and chickens. The harbor was heavily enforced, and there were no idle people except the soldiers, and the common people did not know that the fleet had only arrived yesterday, so they were in a hurry to leave.

In the morning, a team of people came slowly, the two in front of them were King Amand and Zheng He, and the breakup was imminent, so the two naturally wanted to bless each other. He was followed by the Protector General and a group of officials. The six members of the Ruthless Gang walked at the back of the line, Liu Hanyan and others accompanied Qiao Lin until dawn last night, at this moment, in order to let Qiao Lin and Wang Hou say a few more words, the other four people deliberately walked in front, leaving them far behind.

Wang Hou saw Qiao Lin staring straight ahead, ignoring himself, and said with a smile: "Elder Qiao, the burden on your shoulders is not light," seeing that she didn't answer, he continued, "I think I can't help six people ruthlessly, but I come from all over the world, and now, you have to shoulder the responsibility of developing your own gang in Adan, and I am waiting for your good news." ”

Qiao Lin turned her head to look at Wang Hou, suddenly pulled his arm, and said in a low voice: "Liar, you will lie to me...... You wait, I can't spare you, my father said, in less than two years, Zheng Zongbing will come here for the seventh time, and then let me go to Daming again, you must wait for me! After that, his hand secretly worked hard, pinching Wang Hou fiercely.

Wang Hou bared his teeth, but he couldn't cry out for pain, and heard her say again: "Liar, don't lose the star sapphire I gave you." I couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered that when I was at the main altar of the Lotus Sect, Qiao Lin gave several people gems, and the eldest princess commented on them one by one, which said that the star sapphire is famous all over the world, in addition to protecting oneself and bringing good luck, it also has the advantages of other gemstones, such as loyalty, loyalty and love. Knowing Qiao Lin's intentions, he smiled and said, "Of course you won't lose it, Qiao Lin, don't lose the silkworm fishing net I gave you." ”

Jolene wiped away her tears and laughed loudly, "Of course not! Didn't you say yesterday that if you take it with you, you will think of you and protect it at all times? Zhou Qingzhu looked back at Qiao Lin, not understanding why she was crying and laughing at the same time.

Of course, Jolene didn't know that a year later, Guri seized Suo Island, and the Adan Kingdom rose up to resist, and the two sides fought extremely hard in the waters near Suo Island, and it was with the protection of this silkworm fishing net that she was able to save her life. Three years later, Qiao Lin didn't see the Daming fleet coming over for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, so she went to Daming alone to find Wang Hou. And Zheng He's seventh trip to the West was nine years later, in the fifth year of Xuande, when things were already wrong.

Everyone got on the boat, and the flotilla was in the sound of drums and horns, the iron anchor slowly rose, and the cloud sails gradually opened. The five members of the Ruthless Gang stood on the main deck of the "Tian Yuan" and waved to Qiao Lin and the others on the shore. Holding on to the side of the boat, Wang Hou also had a sense of reluctance in his heart, after all, he and Qiao Lin have lived together for so long, although they are commensurate with the helper and elder, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Scenes from the past come to mind.

At the martial arts conference, Qiao Lin waved the silver-gray stick in her hand and asked, "I'm here, wand, don't you use it, blade?" "I'll use this magic fan to meet the princess." "Where did your magic fan come from? How is it the same as mine? "You, where do you come from, where do I come from?"

Jolene blushed: "You, learn from me?" The magic wand pointed at Wang Hou's chest, Wang Hou let go of the way with "there is a skill to divide the wind", and the folding fan was concocted in the same way, pointing at the other party's chest, and suddenly remembered that she was a woman, and quickly withdrew his hand and came back. Jolene said, "You, what are you doing?" ”

When the martial arts conference was won, Princess Qiao Lin walked towards Wang Hou: "You, martial arts are very good, learn from you." Wang Hou smiled and said: "Your magic wand is very powerful, you are free, borrow it from me and use it for two days." Without hesitation, Jolene handed over her wand: "Give it to you, your magic fan, give it to me." Wang Hou was startled, his folding fan was extremely ordinary, if this was really given to her, wouldn't it be a joke. She reached out and gave him her wand, snatched the folding fan from her hand, unfolded it to look at it, shook it again, and laughed softly, "You, liar." He took the folding fan and turned around and left.
