The crisis was lifted, the army continued to march, and after two hours of arduous trekking, the Mount Ceylon finally arrived, and the golden roof of the temple was clearly visible when it looked up.

Zheng He encouraged the sailors: "Later, I will rush up the mountain in a hurry and capture the king of Ceylon alive, as well as the national teacher." ”

The morale of the sailors has been greatly boosted, and they have suffered so much today, they must kill a few more enemies to relieve their hatred.

"This place is so close to the Buddhist temple, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers to protect the king, I will go to find out the situation first, you are here to wait for my news." After the tower explained clearly, he touched the mountain.

Turning over a hill, there was a "buzzing" sound in front of it, and the tower looked up to see a large swarm of wasps, their size was large, almost as thick as an adult's thumb, and a large black area covered half of the sky.

The two hornets on the periphery were chatting happily.

"Let's go and attack those Chinese sailors, as long as we complete the task, we can eat the honey sent by the national teacher after we go back, when I think of those fragrant and sweet honeys, I drool now." The smaller wasp wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said happily.

"Yes! I've only eaten once when I'm so old, and I remember that time I killed an old monk, and I heard that he was still the master of the national teacher! Another hornet said, "After Baozhu replaced the old monk as the national teacher, although he was much more generous than before, but the monk has more porridge and less porridge, only the queen bee is qualified to eat honey every day, and we worker bees can eat it once a year is already good." I thought day and night that I hoped that the national teacher could give us more tasks, and today I finally looked forward to it, in order to be able to eat a big meal, I didn't even eat lunch! ”

"So you think the same way I do! Let me ask you a question, do you know why we are working for the national teacher? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because his honey is delicious!"

"I know you don't know, I heard my grandfather say that the ancestor of the national teacher was a beekeeper, and our clan has served his family for many years!"

"You're so powerful, you even know such a secret thing."

"Of course, is my Bai Xiaosheng's name called in vain?"

"The national teacher's skill in bee taming is so good, why did he give up his ancestral inheritance and become a monk instead? I heard others say that monks can't marry wives, so he's not afraid of breaking off? "Although this guy is much stronger than Bai Xiaosheng, his brain is obviously not as clever as it.

"You are really naïve, when a person is powerful and powerful, are you still afraid that you will not be able to marry a wife?" Bai Xiaosheng looked disdainful, "As far as I know, the national teacher has at least five wives and more than a dozen children. As for why he became a monk, this is a long story, listen to my grandfather's grandfather......"

"Your grandfather's grandfather? At that time, your father was not even born, where did you come from? ”

"Awl, you're really not enlightened, my grandfather's grandfather told my grandfather, and then my grandfather told me, is that wrong? You always like to interrupt people, I won't say it. Bai Xiaosheng was angry.

"It's my fault, don't get angry." The awl quickly apologized, "It's a big deal, I'll take one less bite of honey and let you have a bite." ”

"That's pretty much it." Bai Xiaosheng nodded with satisfaction, "My grandfather's grandfather said that the national teacher has been a bad stomach since he was a child, no matter what despicable and dirty things he does, and his heart is also very vicious, the people in the village see him like seeing a plague god, and they all avoid him." But then again, his brain is indeed flexible, beekeeping can only support his family, not soar, so he cut his hair and worshiped the old national teacher as a monk. This guy didn't know anything about meditation and chanting, and his mind was how to please the master, and finally won the favor of the old monk and promoted him to the first disciple, and then he commanded us to kill the confused old monk, and he succeeded in ascending to the throne. ”

"This is really a murder and arson gold belt, and there are no corpses when you build bridges and repair roads!" The awl sighed with emotion, "Xiaosheng, I will also tell you a secret, attacking people's eyes is the most effortless, do you know?" ”

"I don't know! I'll stab wherever I caught, and I'll leave when I'm done. ”

"Look at your stupid ......," the awl scolded, and the two hornets laughed and flew away with the group.

"It's that bald donkey who is playing tricks again, and if I don't break him into pieces, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Iron Tower cursed in his heart, now the situation is critical, you have to go back to inform them quickly, although the sailors are experienced in a hundred battles, invincible, but the number of wasps is large, fast action, and sharp poisonous needles, and it is not a wise choice to fight with them.

"Tower King, why did you come back so soon? Did you find anything? Zheng He asked.

"I didn't see it, but I found a large swarm of wasps, and I quickly lit a fire and smoked them." The tower has already thought of a countermeasure.

There were many trees around, and the sailors picked up axes and cut them down, and in a short time dozens of fires were built, and smoke rose everywhere. Ding Erniu took out a packet of pink powder and sprinkled it on the fire, and suddenly the smoke was thick, and there was a pungent smell of garlic. Everyone squatted down, covered their mouths, eyes, ears and noses with wet towels and hid in the smoke.

The hornets flew into the sky, only to see thick smoke billowing and the smell was unpleasant, and they were dizzy from the smoke, so they quickly turned around and fled.

"I'm not afraid of anything, just the smell of garlic." The awl pinched his nostrils and said with a palpitation.

"Tower King, you have so many ways, I don't think there should be anything in this world that is difficult for you." Ding Erniu admired it so much that he threw himself to the ground.

"Less sycophants! I also learned about it through books, and when you have time, you should read more books, and don't dance with knives and guns all day long. "The tower doesn't forget to teach him a lesson every chance he gets.

Ding Erniu smirked, letting him read was almost killing him.

"Erniu, why did you bring the realgar?" Iron Tower knew the character of this kid, so he had to change the subject.

"You asked me to prepare some necessary items in the wild, I thought there might be poisonous snakes in the mountains, so I brought a large bag of realgar powder, who knew that the snake didn't see it, but it drove the wasps away." Ding Erniu scratched his head and said with a smile.

"This kid is really careful, if only he could have a little more ink in his stomach, his future will be limitless." The tower secretly praised himself, and quickly took a sack and chased after the hornet, these things are the secret weapons of the national teacher, and they can't be kept to continue to harm people.

After chasing four or five miles, the tower came to a cave, and there were three beehives more than one meter long and as thick as the wellhead hanging from the cave wall, and the hornets scrambled to drill into it. In a few moments, thousands of wasps seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving only a few hundred standing guard outside.

The tower unhurriedly opened the sack and put it on the hive, gently broke it and put it into the bag, and then tied the mouth of the bag tightly with vines.

"Dare to make trouble in my territory, are you tired of it? Give it to me, brethren! The awl buzzed and rushed towards the tower, followed by its proud nest protection team.

"Ouch!" The awl seemed to hit an iron plate, and he fell to the ground with Venus in his eyes. Its accomplices weren't much better, and the death of the needle wasting was their only fate.

"It's very comfortable, I didn't expect these guys to tickle." With a smile on his face, the tower grinned and put the other two hives into sacks, and a fire reduced them to ashes.

……

"Rush!" Zheng He gave the order for a general attack, and the sailors rushed towards the hill, expecting to be stubbornly resisted by the enemy, but strangely the road was unimpeded. When I reached the top of the mountain, I saw that the temple gate was closed, and there was no one around.

Zheng He waved his hand, and several tall sailors carried it hard, and the door slammed open.

Ding Erniu was about to rush in, when a large group of monks came out, and the old monk at the head said angrily: "The national teacher said that the Chinese army would come to snatch our Buddha tooth, I didn't believe it, but it turned out to be true." We will not give in, and if we want to get the tooth of the Buddha, we will step on our corpse. ”

Zheng He said with a smile: "Don't listen to the lies of the national teacher, he lied to you." We in Huaxia never rob other people's things, but only help friends selflessly. ”

"You...... You're not going to lie to us, are you? ”

"Absolutely not!" Zheng He's words are conclusive.

"Great!" The monks were so excited that they burst into tears, under the bewitchment and coercion of the national teacher, they had already made the worst plan, but they didn't expect to face a benevolent and righteous teacher, and all their worries were groundless.

"Then what are you doing up the mountain? Don't say you're here to enjoy the scenery, we're not fools. The old monk asked suspiciously.

"Your king invited us to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic, did he arrive?"

"Visiting relics? No one informed us at all, and the king did not come. ”

"We've been fooled, hurry back to the treasure ship." Although he had already expected this ending, Zheng He was still furious.

The tower wanted to expose the conspiracy of Baozhu to kill the old national teacher to the monks, but after thinking about it, it was not worth wasting time for a dying person.

Out of the Buddhist temple, standing on the top of the hill and looking into the distance, the entire city of Ceylon can be seen at a glance. "Look there!" The tower pointed to the sea in the distance, only to see countless small boats frantically rushing towards the Daming Navy, and the treasure ships used artillery and trebuchets to return fire, one hit at a time. From time to time there was a flash of fire on the sea, and one by one the boats sank into the sea, and occasionally a few ships broke through the line of defense, and were immediately turned into hedgehogs by the sailors with bows and arrows.

"Moths to the fire bring about their own destruction." Zheng He snorted coldly, "The enemy's main forces are all at sea, and now that the palace is definitely empty, we will go and kill them by surprise." ”

"Yes!" The sailors rushed towards the palace along the official road, all in high spirits, and marching so fast that it was hard to imagine that they had been tired all day. When he was about to reach the palace, a gap more than two feet long suddenly appeared in front of the official road, and the raging flood roared and poured over, and a stone bridge fell to the side of the road.

"That bald donkey really didn't lie to us, and this may be the only time in his life that he has told the truth." With a smile on his face, the tower ran to the top of the hill and poured down more than a dozen big trees, built a simple wooden bridge on the road, and the troops passed safely.

There were really not many guards in the palace, and the iron tower used its horns to top a few holes in the city gate, and then slammed it hard, and the heavy city gate collapsed like paper paste.

The sailors shouted and killed the enemy, and after suffering so much today, there was finally a place to vent.

……

"To be able to defeat the Huaxia Fleet today, you have the greatest credit for the national teacher, and you can choose any of the three treasures." At this time, the king and the national teacher were drinking in the palace to celebrate.

The national teacher looked proud, "People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, and if you can get so many treasures in Huaxia, even if you die, it is worth it." ”

"It's not easy to want to die? I will surely fulfill you. Suddenly, a majestic voice came in, and then the door was slammed open, and the Chinese sailors appeared in front of the two like divine soldiers, led by Zheng He and the iron tower.

The king's face turned pale in an instant, and he said in horror, "You...... Aren't you supposed to die? How did you get here? ”

"Hahaha!" Zheng He looked up to the sky and smiled, "You want us to die? It's not that easy! I'm here to capture you personally. ”

The national teacher roared, pulled out a ring knife from under the table, and rushed towards Zheng He.

Did this guy get into the water in his brain? How did he become a national teacher with his IQ? The tower shook his head, grabbed it and picked him off the roof, and then stopped looking at it, as if he had killed a mosquito.

With a "bang", the bald head of the national teacher hit the ground first, and the red and black on the ground were a mess, as if a watermelon had been broken.

The king knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Lord Zheng, King of the Iron Tower, I was wrong, don't kill me." ”

"Of course I won't kill you, I will hand you over to the emperor, and he will dispose of you." Zheng He shouted, "Someone! Arrest his whole family. ”

"Yes!" Ding Erniu responded loudly and led the men and horses to carry it out.

The sailors pressed a group of prisoners back to the port, by this time the battle was over, the boats of the Ceylon sailors had been lost, and the corpses of many Ceylon soldiers were floating on the sea, and the remnants of the soldiers who had survived fled to the shore, and everywhere there were wails of crying fathers and mothers.

Ding Erniu led the sailors to wait for the rabbits on the shore and beat the water dogs, and the Ceylon soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

"Woooooo When the king saw this scene, he could not help but weep bitterly, for his own momentary greed, but he brought endless pain to the people of Ceylon, how could he be so stupid!

Zheng He escorted the king's family, ministers, and generals to the capital for trial, and set up a stone tablet on the Mount of Ceylon, telling the world about the righteous battle of the Ming sailors.

The greedy king was duly punished, and the merchant ships were no longer bullied by others, and the merchants all applauded: "The Huaxia fleet has removed a great scourge for us this time, and it is worthy of being a mighty army and a righteous army!" ”
