[Today's 20th update, 13th update]

A few days ago, Wang Hou told Zheng He about his plan to go to Yunnan. Zheng He pondered for a long time and said: "According to General Wang's arrangement, I don't need to bother to speak, it is already March now, and I don't know if the Holy Lord has already conquered in person." After I arrived in Changle, I wanted to rush to Beijing to face the saint, and I wanted to invite General Wang to accompany me, because with your martial arts, if you can follow the saint to fight in person, you will definitely shock the Tartars...... However, since General Wang has decided to go to Yunnan, I want you to stay there for half a year. ”

Wang Hou didn't understand Zheng He's intention to stay in Yunnan, and asked, "Zheng Zongbing wants me to stay in Yunnan for half a year, but what are your orders?" ”

Zheng He said in a deep voice: "General Wang must also know that the Holy Lord urgently ordered me to come back, ostensibly because of the fire in the three halls, but in essence, he wanted me to guard the southeast, and I was worried about the safety of the Holy Lord, and I was anxious to face the Holy Saint. Therefore, I hope that after General Wang arrives in Yunnan, it is best to stay in Yunnan Mansion for half a year, and with you there, I don't have to worry about any chaos. There are 22 guards in Yunnan, with 120,000 guards, and the general has a holy jade wrench, which can be mobilized in times of crisis. ”

Only then did Wang Hou understand Zheng Zongbing's intention: let me stay in Yunnan, which can not only echo the fleet stationed in Changle, but also ensure the safety of the Western Regions, forming a fleet to sit in the southeast and south, and Yunnan Prefecture to support the south and the Western Regions, this situation will inevitably make the Northern Expedition of the Yongle Emperor less worried!

Somehow, Wang Hou remembered what King Daci said when he was in Persia, "At the Beijing Martial Arts Conference, when the poor monk was about to return to Wusizang and bid farewell to the Holy Lord, he made a request to me, that is, he hoped that I could play a role in the stability of the Western Regions...... Presumably, General Zhaoyi also knew that the Mongol forces had been disturbing the peace of the people in the north, and the emperor's second personal expedition had failed, which became his biggest concern. He was ready to go on a personal expedition for the third time, but he was worried that the southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions would take the opportunity to cause chaos. "Now, I haven't seen His Holiness for nearly half a year, and when Persia parted, I thought that if I had time, I could go to Usizang, and it seems that there is plenty of time now.

Wang Hou said his thoughts, and said: "Since Zheng Zongbing has arranged it like this, I am duty-bound, but the general soldier still has to work hard, please take care." ”

"Compared to the work of the saints, what is our hard work? General Wang just said that he wanted to go to Wusizang, and I have no objection, after you settle down in Yunnan Mansion, you will decide whether to go or not, and you will make your own decision then. However, I would like to remind that if Annan wants to invade, it must start from Yunnan, and there will be no major chaos in Wusizang for the time being...... I also have a personal matter, and I want to ask General Wang for help. ”

Wang Hou hurriedly said: "If Zheng Zongbing has any dispatches, please feel free to say." Zheng He got up and walked to the bookcase, opened the top drawer, took out a brocade bag from it, and said solemnly: "In June of the ninth year of Yongle, I came back from the West for the third time and went to Jinning Prefecture, Yunnan Prefecture...... That's where I was born, and I was in front of my ancestors' tombs until I returned on the auspicious day of December. I can't go back this time, and I don't know when I will go next time, maybe I won't be able to go in my life...... Therefore, I would like to ask General Wang to go to the ancestral grave on my behalf, and the soil in this bag is what I brought back from Western countries, and it is also to comfort my father's soul in heaven. Please help me with my wish. ”

Approaching the bag with both hands, Wang Hou recognized that this was the Yi Niang who accompanied Zheng Zongbing to visit him before Changle left last year, Yi Niang staggered out this little bag from the house, and said straightly, "Sanbao, Yi Niang is old, I may not be able to wait for you to come back...... Yi Niang also has nothing good to give, this bag contains what I heard a few days ago that you are coming, the sand dug in the Xianying Palace, it can bless you to come back safely. ”

Wang Hou solemnly put the bag into his pocket: "Zheng Zongbing, please rest assured, I will definitely fulfill this wish on your behalf." Zheng He hummed heavily, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Hou's shoulder, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

The people who traveled with Wang Hou were also decided: the four women, the Lily Fairy and Mo Gong were ruthlessly helped. The other six people in Wudang could not make the trip because the master did not arrange it in advance, and even Mo Gong was Song Tian who could bear the consequences of being scolded by the master, and heard Wang Hou say that he would accompany him to Wudang Mountain at that time, so he agreed to let Mo Gong go to Yunnan. Because of the newlywed Yan'er, Liu Zhaohui and Zhuang Zhaoxue stayed on the boat and stayed in Changle for a few days with Sect Leader Liu.

Seeing that the fleet had entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He ordered Tang Jing to take a warship to send Wang Hou and his party to the north, land from Leizhou, and go to Yunnan for about 2,500 miles from there. After Wang Hou's seven people resigned to Zheng He, Nanhai Gong, Liu Sect Leader and others one by one, they got on the warship. Soon the ship docked, Tang Jing had already prepared seven horses, and the seven of them waved to watch the warship sail away.

On the avenue, the seven people suddenly gave birth to a long-lost sense of intimacy, overseas for more than a year, back to this land, are excited, turned on the horse, along the official road to the northwest gallop.

Four days later, they arrived in Nanning Province (present-day Nanning), and after another four days, they entered the territory of Guangnan Province (present-day Funing County and Guangnan County, Yunnan). Guangnan Province is located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, adjacent to Guangxi, beautiful natural scenery, is the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou Province, belongs to the hilly area of the mountainous plateau, is also one of the traffic arteries from Yunnan to Guangxi and Guangdong, about 900 miles away from Yunnan Province.

☆☆☆☆☆ on the evening of April 20, outside the city gate of Quang Nam Province, seven horsemen galloped quickly, and the gate army guarding the city saw the road guide shown by the seven people, and hurriedly bowed down to let them go. After the seven horsemen left, one of the gate soldiers muttered, "What! What is the origin of these seven people, they are all the guides of the military department! ”

"Shh......h Be quiet, you want to die? They are in a hurry, there must be something important, since you know that it is the guide of the military department, you dare to shout and reveal their identities, it doesn't matter if you die, don't bother us! "Hey, hey, hey...... It's going to be dark, and there are no outsiders, so I'm just talking casually, and you won't talk nonsense, right? ”

Before Wang Hou's seven people went ashore, Tang Jing issued a guide to the military department, and the road was unimpeded, and they entered Guangnan City and found a larger inn to live in. Entering the territory of Yunnan today, several people began to restrain their relaxed mentality a few days ago, Li Zhixian and Jin Minhui still did not change their previous appearances, Wang Hou changed their appearance again, and Liu Hanyan, Zhou Qingzhu, Mo Gong and Lily Fairy also made simple dresses.

During dinner, the seven of them drank and talked while keeping an eye on the conversations at the other tables, hoping to get information about the Alpine Snow Clan. After eating for nearly an hour, the diners in the restaurant gradually decreased, and no valuable clues were heard. After discussing with Wang Hou in a low voice, Li Zhixian took out the medicine powder and smeared Wang Hou's left arm, and then called the second brother and asked loudly: "Second brother, let's ask you about something, this friend of mine was accidentally bitten by a sea snake, I heard that someone here can cure snake venom, can the second brother tell me?" ”

Xiao Er glanced at it, and saw Wang Hou puffing his cuffs, revealing a swarthy arm, he was so frightened that he took two steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "What! How did it hurt like this? Wang Hou said in a dumb voice: "Little second brother, don't be afraid, I have already taken the antidote pill, and I won't be poisoned within a month." I heard that there is a tribe called Gaoshan here, Gaoshan, who can solve the poison of sea snakes, so I came to seek medical treatment, do you know where it is? ”

"Guest officer, put down your sleeves, don't scare our guests away." Xiao Er pleaded in a low voice. At this moment, a man came from the adjacent table and asked, "What are you looking for, is it the Alpine Snow Clan?" Several people were secretly happy in their hearts, and they all looked together, and saw that the man was about thirty years old, born with a sharp beak and monkey gills, and a pair of small eyes flashed with thief light from time to time.

Li Zhixian said: "It seems to be called this name, and the strong man knows?" The sharp-beaked monkey grinned, stretched out his right hand, and rubbed his thumb on the middle and index fingers: "Then you really asked the right person, this is a radius of ten miles, and few people really know...... But since you have come to seek medical treatment, you will have to pay a little more money...... Hey. ”

Li Zhixian understood the meaning of his words, took out a treasure note with a consistent face value, and stuffed it into his hand: "A little heart, please accept it." "Treasure banknotes are always equivalent to one or two pieces of silver, Li Zhixian's move can be described as generous, and the eyes of the little two on the side widened. The sharp-beaked monkey gills did not shirk, hehe put away the treasure money, glanced at Wang Hou's left arm, and said: "This son-in-law, it's late today, I'll come over early tomorrow morning and take you to see the Alpine Snow Clan...... However, tomorrow's tour fee will be calculated separately. ”

Although Wang Hou couldn't get used to his appearance, he knew that people who were greedy for money were not terrible, and it made sense to hear what he said, so he smiled and said: "Then it's troublesome, Zhuang and Shi, we will wait for you here tomorrow morning." ”

The sharp-beaked monkey gills didn't seem to hear that Wang Hou said the word "strong man" a little vaguely, originally his image had nothing to do with "strong man", hehe smiled, turned around and was about to leave. The lily fairy asked coldly, "Slow! You took our money, and if you don't come tomorrow, where are we going to find you? ”

The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks didn't care, took out the treasure money and raised it in his hand: "If you don't believe me, this will be returned to you...... Look for someone else to lead the way. As soon as the lily fairy raised her eyebrows, she was about to raise her hand and fly out of a hook kiss, but she was pulled by Mo Gong beside her, so she couldn't bear it.

Wang Hou took out another treasure banknote, and said with a smile: "Strong man, it's just a joke, why take it seriously?" What is this money, just ask for the fare, let's decide, tomorrow morning, we will wait for you here...... This is a deposit, and it won't be a disadvantage to you. The sharp-beaked monkey snorted twice, took the treasure money, ignored the crowd, and turned out of the restaurant.

After he left, Li Zhixian took out the usual treasure money and walked in front of Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, I can't lose you, this is for you." Xiao Er's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand, Li Zhixian forced it into his hand and asked, "Do you recognize that person just now?" ”
