The square was full of swords and guns, the flags covered the sun, the murderous Chinese sailors had surrounded the palace, and Zheng He rode a tall horse and an iron tower to stand at the front of the team.

Where has Su Ganra seen this kind of real sword and real gun formation? He said in a frightened voice: "Lord Zheng, King of the Iron Tower, I think this must be a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding? Su Ganra, do you still want to quibble? Your crimes are already known to passers-by, and at the request of the people of Sumatra, we have come to crusade against you with the army of justice, so come out and surrender quickly! Zheng He said solemnly.

"Crusade against me? What crime have I committed? I'm a prince by nature, and I'm just taking back what belongs to me, is that also wrong? Su Ganra tried his best to argue.

"Not bad! You used to be a prince, but you are in the past, and you are no different from other people in our eyes. Zheng He looked disdainful, "You used such despicable means to seize the throne, we will neither agree nor recognize it." ”

Su Ganra's face was pale, and he was speechless in place, and suddenly he was happy again, and said eagerly: "Lord Zheng, I have prepared a great gift for Emperor Huaxia. In the past, the king paid an annual tribute of five hundred taels of gold, but now I will give you a thousand taels, no! Five thousand taels. As long as you recognize the legitimacy of my throne, it is nothing more than a trivial matter for you. ”

Zheng He smiled contemptuously, "Su Ganra, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Huaxia is a big country, you will only claim justice and eliminate harm for the people, and anyone who does not abide by the order will end up in a dead end." Now that the old king is dead, and his son Suhani is the rightful heir to the throne, I warn you not to be delusional anymore, and if you still care about the lives of your subordinates, come out and surrender quickly, otherwise the army will pass by, and there will be no armor left! He waved the horsewhip in his hand forward, and the 20,000 sailors shouted in unison: "The army passes everywhere, and there is no armor left!" The army is everywhere, and there is no piece of armor left! "The sound is deafening and magnificent.

Su Ganra's legs were so frightened that he almost rolled off the city tower.

"What a useless straw bale." The mage cursed in his heart, and hid behind him and whispered, "Let Zheng He give us a day to think about it, and then drag them down first." ”

Now that the palace has been besieged, there is a fart for a day! Su Ganra almost couldn't help but scold his mother, but he never dared to disobey the mage's words, so he had to boldly say, "Lord Zheng, you give me a day to think about it, and I will come out and surrender by this time tomorrow." Now that Suhani is in my hands, the big deal will be burned and they will all be destroyed. ”

"This guy is already a turtle in an urn, so why not give him a little time to think about it? I believe he can't play any tricks either. The tower said lightly.

"Well, listen to you! Ding Erniu, continue to besiege the palace until they surrender. Zheng He readily agreed, it was not a good thing to be able to solve the problem peacefully, and at this moment his heart was very happy, and he finally got out of this evil breath.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the treasure ship for tea, and leave it to them here." "For Ding Erniu's ability, Tieta still trusts it very much.

In the palace, Su Ganra was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Now you can't buy Zheng He with gold, what should I do?" ”

"You don't have to worry, I have my own countermeasures." The mage still looked unfazed, and said unhurriedly, "Since I met you three years ago, I know that you are a man with great ambitions, so I have decided to assist you in regaining the throne. In the past two years, I have spent a lot of money and secretly asked someone to dig a tunnel in the palace, and now it has been proved that my decision was correct. Tonight we will escape from the tunnels with Suhani, and we will only need to go back to the mountains, where the terrain is complicated, there are many caves, and I have long stored a large amount of grain, grass and weapons, as well as five thousand soldiers and horses recruited in your name, and it will be no problem to hide there for a year and a half. After all, this is not China, I don't believe that Zheng He can stay here for the rest of his life, and after they leave, Sumatra will still be our world. ”

Su Ganra was surprised and delighted, he couldn't imagine that the mage had done so much preparation work without telling him, but it was a pity that he could only drink and have fun, which really disappointed his hard work. "Thank you, Mage, for not being by my side, and now I'm a prisoner." The attitude is very sincere, without the slightest hypocrisy.

"Humph!" The mage snorted angrily, "In the past, when I asked you for money, you pushed back and complained about why my expenses were so big, but now I understand!" I didn't spend a penny on myself, it was all for you. ”

"I'm sorry, I blamed you." Su Ganra said gratefully, "Master, you not only showed me the direction of my life, but also saved me from danger many times, you are simply my reborn parents!" ”

"It's not too late to make amends! I'm sure you'll be a good king. The mage patted him on the shoulder and said, thinking to himself that if you die, how can I be the emperor! I'm helping myself.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Tie Ta and Zheng He rushed to the palace, thinking that Su Ganra was about to become a prisoner of the order, both of them had an indescribable excitement, not that they had not seen a big scene, but that this guy was indeed not a thing, and it would be intolerable if he was not brought to justice.

"Everything was fine last night." Ding Erniu patted his chest and promised, "We have surrounded this place as tightly as an iron barrel, not even a single bird has flown out, I think they will come out and surrender soon." ”

I waited for half an hour, but there was no movement. Zheng He asked Ding Erniu to shout inside, but no one answered.

"I'll go in first." The tower felt that something was wrong.

The once bustling palace was now deserted, with only a few maids running around like headless flies, and the tower asked them, "Where is Suganra?" ”

A slightly bold palace maid trembled and said, "We don't know either! This morning we were about to get up for the little prince, but we didn't expect his bed to be empty, so we went our separate ways to look for it, and found that the whole palace was missing except for a few of us, which was really strange. ”

"That rabbit must have slipped away, huh! I can't hide from the first day of the new year, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, if I don't catch you with my own hands, the name of my tower is written upside down. The tower sneered, stood on the city tower and shouted: "Su Ganla has run away, send someone to search for it." ”

The 3,000 sailors searched the palace from the inside out, and almost dug three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.

The iron tower went straight to the small hall that night in the imperial garden, only to see the magnificent hall everywhere placed with large swords and spears, swords and hard bows, at a glance it is a martial arts residence, but it is a vassal elegant in the corner of the wall to set up a bookshelf, neat two rows of books are full of dust, it should be a long time no one has touched, but a vase on the top of the bookshelf is spotless, bright and shiny.

The tower smiled slightly, turned the vase from side to side, and a "crunch" sound came, the wall behind the bookshelf opened, and a dark room appeared in front of him.

Ding Erniu was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, "King of the Iron Tower, how do you know that it is an organ?" ”

"Blind." Tie Ta said lightly, this kid didn't sleep all night, and he lost the prisoner, and his mood was a little low, and those words of instruction such as "use your brain more in everything" and so on.

The sailors rushed into the dark room in ecstasy, and in a moment there was a cheer, "There is a tunnel." ”

When the tower went in, the carpet had been lifted, and the table of the eight immortals had been thrown aside, and the iron plate under the table was uncovered to reveal a hole, which was just enough to pass an adult one meter square.

"Let me go and make meritorious deeds! I'm going to get them back. Ding Erniu took the initiative to ask for help, and first jumped down the hole with a torch, and the sailors also jumped down.

After a stick of incense, the sailors returned dejected. Ding Erniu said disappointedly: "The tunnel leads to a forest outside the palace, and the exit is not far behind our encirclement, leaving a lot of disorganized footprints on the ground, I am sure they escaped through the tunnel." ”

Zheng He laughed angrily, "I didn't expect this guy to use the golden cicada shell method to escape, I underestimated him." The order went down: go all out to search for Su Ganra, live to see people, and dead to see corpses. ”

"Yes!" The sailors were ordered to move immediately.

"The Sumatra Mountains are high and densely forested, and Suganra is familiar with the terrain, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to find him for a while, and the only thing I can do now is to wait patiently." Zheng He frowned.

"It's not enough to wait, you have to take the initiative." "That night I heard him talking to a man who called himself a mage, and he was quite respectful. Su Ganra is just a straw bale, all this must be the mage behind the scenes, I remember he said that he raised a group of bats, which is an important clue.

After dinner, the tower walked alone out of the city, with rolling mountains in the distance. After walking about twenty or thirty miles, he stopped at the foot of a hill, which was already very close to the mountain, where bats inhabited caves and liked to be nocturnal, and if they followed them, they would surely find the whereabouts of the mage.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, the air is filled with the faint scent of wildflowers, the cheerful song of crickets is in your ears, and the occasional chirping of night birds can be heard.

The tower lay leisurely under the tree with his legs cocked, biting a few sticks of hay in his mouth and looking around. "Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a plant not far away, and he was stunned when he walked over and looked at it, he didn't expect that there was still such a thing growing here, and there were so many of them, a plant more than a meter high, with small white flowers, like a small trumpet, and some seeds were scattered on the ground, which were already ripe.

"Do you want to go back a little?" The tower is being considered. Suddenly, there was a sound of wings flapping rapidly in the sky, and when I looked up, I saw a large group of bats flying in the moonlight, overwhelmingly rushing towards the trees, making a "squeaking" sound from their mouths, some of which landed on the trees, some on the grass.

The cheerful cricket chirping came to an abrupt end, and the night bird hid in its nest and covered its mouth tightly with its wings, and the silence was eerie.

After a while, there was a flute in the distance, like a cry, which seemed very mysterious in the silent night. As if commanded, the bats flew into the sky towards the sound of the flute.
