Back at the treasure ship, Zheng He had already made a pot of good tea and was waiting, "Come on!" Freshly soaked Tieguanyin. The matter is settled, right? I went to the government, and they finally gave me some thin noodles and promised to send troops to save people, I don't think they would lie to me. ”

"The king of the tower is out of the horse, how can there be anything that can't be solved? The people sent by the government only need to clean up the battlefield. Ding Erniu told the story of the incident vividly.

Zheng He was fascinated when he heard it, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, "It's a pity, if I go, I will definitely be able to kill a few evil people from the Demon Sect." ”

"Lord Zheng, if you go out in person, that sect leader will definitely be obediently tied up, and I don't need to do anything else." Ding Erniu slapped a sycophant at the right time.

This sentence is really useful, Zheng He laughed, "Tomorrow we will go to visit the king, you are also tired, rest early!" ”

……

"Master Zheng, thank you for removing my confidants." As soon as the king saw Zheng He, he warmly shook his hand and said gratefully, "This morning, the local officials came to report that the evil demon sect had been uprooted by the King of the Iron Tower. ”

Zheng He said modestly: "It is our traditional Chinese virtue to solve problems for our friends, and Your Majesty is really too polite. ”

While the guests and hosts were talking happily, a maid ran in in a panic and said to the king in tears, "Your Majesty, it's not good! I was playing in the garden with the prince when suddenly a big bird flew from the sky and knocked me to the ground and snatched the prince out of the cradle. ”

"What did you say?" The king fell to the ground with a shake of his body, he was more than half a hundred years old before he had this only child, and he loved the two-year-old prince as a treasure in his heart, how could he accept this bad news? Such a blow was fatal enough for him.

"Hahaha!" There was a smug laugh in the sky, and the tower rushed to the door, looking up to see that it was a vulture, with a red burden on its claws, flying behind the mountain.

"Is the burden of the prince red?" Eiffel Tower asked.

The palace maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!" ”

Without saying a word, the tower jumped over the palace wall more than a foot high and chased in the direction where the vulture flew away.

The vulture's body is large, its wings are two or three meters long, and its flight speed is certainly not slow. The iron tower chased closely below, a few years of Taurus Gong is not in vain, just now this time the chase over five mountains, and wading through two rivers, at least more than a hundred miles, but he did not feel tired at all, but the pressure in his heart was greater. To tell the truth, since going to sea, the tower has experienced many tough battles, but this time is the most dangerous, in case the vulture claws loosen and the prince is thrown down, then even if he has great ability, it will be useless, fortunately the little prince is already asleep, otherwise his cry will be troublesome to annoy the beast.

Running on the field of a flat river, there was a faint sound of waves crashing on the shore in his ears, but the vulture suddenly disappeared. The tower was taken aback, and accelerated its pace to chase after it, and found that there was no road ahead, and it turned out to be on the edge of the cliff. He looked over and saw that the cliffs were densely packed with caves, and below was the rough coastline.

"See, there!" The tower almost screamed in excitement, and the vulture stretched its wings out and swooped down like an arrow from a string towards a cave.

Tower's heart rose to his throat again, and the beast returned to the cave, and perhaps it would ...... He didn't dare to think about it, he saw a large number of vines on the edge of the cliff, and jumped down the cliff before he had time to think about grabbing it. About ten zhang down, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", the body of the tower first bounced up, and then fell down at a faster speed, the original vine to the end, actually collapsed hard.

Seeing that it was about to fall into a deep valley, the iron tower was in a hurry, and the iron horn stabbed fiercely at the cliff, and the rock drew a brilliant spark from top to bottom, and the rapidly descending body gradually slowed down. He slid cautiously down the cliff forty or fifty feet, then plunged his horn deep into the rock, and with one hand he grabbed the gap in the stone, and his body came to a steady halt in the air, just a little more than a foot from the vulture's burrow.

There was silence in the cave, what happened to the prince? Iron Tower was nervous, reminding himself not to act recklessly, if he frightened the beast, the consequences would be unpredictable.

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the cave, "Why hasn't that stinky woman come back yet?" Since the last time I ate human brain, I thought it was better than monkey brain, and I was talking about that taste every day. Today I finally caught a child and came back, and after waiting for so long, I didn't see any trace of it, where did I die? You have to teach it a good lesson when you come back. ”

"Alas! Forget it. The vulture sighed and was full of helplessness, "This is a shrew, every time I haven't opened my mouth, she cries, makes trouble and hangs herself, making her family uneasy." As the saying goes, endure for a while, take a step back and open the sky, for the sake of this home on the verge of shattering, I still continue to endure! Oops, why are you so sleepy? It opened its mouth and yawned, "While there's still time, get some sleep and wait for it to come back for dinner." Soon there was a thunderous snoring sound in the cave.

The prince is still safe now! The tower burst into tears with excitement, and the piercing snoring sound was as beautiful as heaven at the moment. "Sleep! The deeper you sleep, the better. He prayed in his heart, cautiously approaching the cave.

"Huh? Who's at my doorstep? "At this time, another vulture flew in the sky, dressed in a fancy way, and although it looked ugly, it could still be seen that it was a mother." Ha ha! It turned out to be a buffalo! Great, there was steak to eat tonight, and I remember that there seemed to be half a pack of cumin powder in the kitchen, which just came in handy. Laughing as it pecked at the back of the tower's head with its long, hook-like mouth.

"Want to sneak up on me? There are no doors! The tower sneered, steadied himself with his left hand, and waved his right hand back.

The she-vulture quickly dodged when she saw that the situation was not good, but the fierce fist wind still swept on her wings, and the feathers in the air were raised in the sky. It wailed into the cave and tore open its throat and shouted, "Dead ghost, still not come out to help? Your daughter-in-law will be beaten to death. ”

The male vulture was sleeping soundly, and was so startled by this sudden cry that he trembled, and quickly got up, and said to himself, "Isn't it just to sleep for a while?" You don't need to be so fierce! Hey? No, it doesn't seem to be scolding me for being lazy, I should have suffered a loss outside, and I went home to move the rescuers. This is not good, their toes can only be kicked by themselves, and they must not be cut by others, this mother-in-law is no longer a thing and it is not the turn of outsiders to meddle in things, although this unknown man has taken a bad breath for me, but it is my bounden duty to protect my daughter-in-law, and I must fight it back with interest, otherwise I will not be able to live this life. ”

The male vulture came out of the bedroom sleepily, and saw his daughter-in-law sitting at the gate with wings and moaning, which can make it very bad, now there are more males and fewer females, and it is quite difficult to find a warm quilt. "Daughter-in-law, are you alright?" It asked with concern.

"What are you still grinding there? Go and avenge me! ”

"Revenge is certain, which guy doesn't know whether to live or die?"

"It's the buffalo outside."

"Buffalo? You're not kidding me, are you? This place does not reach the heavens or the earth, how did he come here? The male vulture looked incredulous.

"You mean I'm lying to you? Wouldn't it be clear if you went out and had a look? "The she-vulture is on fire.

"I'm going, I'm going......"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you can't satisfy me, then I'll go to the old king next door to help." The she-vulture showed off her killer skills.

It's the damn old king again, the male vulture lungs are about to explode, this is his weakness, every time he is pinched to death by this shrew, there is really no way at all, so he has to accompany the smiling face and say: "Don't be angry, I'll find you back in the field." By the way, I've prepared a barbecued pork with human meat, why don't you go eat some first? ”

"Don't say it's human flesh, I don't have an appetite for dragon meat now." The she-vulture said through gritted teeth.

It seems that tomorrow I will go to Lao Wang to have a good talk, dare to dig into my corner? It's tolerable, it's unbearable! The male vulture flew out angrily, and sure enough, he saw a buffalo lying on top of the hole, peeking into the cave sneakily, which made it very funny, "Haha! My daughter-in-law didn't lie to me, what it said was the truth, which also proves that it still likes me, and moving Lao Wang out is just a shield. At this moment, its heart was sweet, as sweet as honey.

The male vulture was very cunning, and knew that the tower was supported by his hands in mid-air, so he stretched out his claws and grabbed at his wrist. "My claws can tear wood apart, and this buffalo will surely fall down the valley if I catch it, and then there will be fresh beef to eat, and although it does not have the charming smell of carrion, it is better than not having to eat it at all!" The more it thought about it, the more excited it became.

With a slight force in his right hand, the tower broke off a stone from the cliff and smashed it out with his backhand, and the stone was as fast as a meteor, hitting the head of the male vulture with precision, and the guy suddenly blossomed and fell into the valley.

The tower jumped decisively at the entrance of the cave, grabbing the rock at the edge of the cave with both hands. The female vulture had been lying in ambush here for a long time, and when she saw the tower climb up, she pecked her long beak fiercely, thinking that she could open a hole in his head, but this time it miscalculated, and only heard a crisp sound of "dang", and its sharp beak seemed to peck at an iron plate, and the corners of its mouth were cracked, and it stomped its feet in pain. The tower climbed up with both hands, and its upper body was already in the hole, and reached out and grabbed its neck with its left hand.

"Ahem!" The she-vulture rolled her eyes and said, "Buffalo, we haven't provoked you, so why should we disturb our peaceful life?" ”

"Didn't provoke me?" Tie Ta said coldly, "You two brutes actually catch children to eat, it's simply intolerable, and people and gods are angry." If I don't clean you up, what face will stand between heaven and earth? The palm crushed its throat and threw it backwards into the valley.

The red burden lay quietly in the depths of the cave, and with a move of the tower's right hand, the burden seemed to be slowly sent over by an invisible hand. The little prince hasn't woken up yet, the tower is really convinced of him, it's dark outside, but he is still asleep, this little guy is amazing! Mount Tai collapsed in front of the same color, very general's demeanor.

The tower bit the burden in his mouth, grabbed the rock with both hands and climbed up, although it was more than a hundred feet high from the top of the mountain, but it was not a big problem for him.

Finally climbing the cliff, the tower put the prince on the ground, and found that his mouth was wet, could it be rain? He looked up and saw that the sun was high and the weather was clear, and then he looked under the burden, and there was a large wet patch, it turned out that the little prince had peed. He didn't repent of his mistakes, and he was grinning happily!

Tie Ta really couldn't cry or laugh, and complained: "Little brother, I tried my best to save you, but you gave me urine to drink, it's too uninteresting." Suddenly, he laughed happily again, "The boy's urine is a great supplement, and this trip has not been in vain." ”

In the palace, the king, who had fainted several times, woke up again and asked with tears in his eyes, "Has the King of the Iron Tower returned?" ”

"Not yet." Zheng He comforted, "You don't have to worry, the King of the Iron Tower will definitely be able to save the prince back." "That being said, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart, after all, the vulture is flying in the air, and no matter how big the tower king is, he can only do it in a hurry below, and there are many uncertain factors during the flight, it seems that the little prince is more than lucky!

At this moment, the hearty laughter of the iron tower came from outside, "Feed the little prince something, he is hungry." ”

When the king heard this, he was so excited that he ran out without wearing any shoes, snatched the little prince in the arms of the tower, looked left and right and found that it was intact, then he relieved his heart, and said gratefully: "Thank you, King of the tower." You have not only saved him, but also the future of our country, and I have already decided to go to Huaxia to pay tribute at the right time. ”

Zheng He was ecstatic in his heart, this is an unexpected gain! It turned out that the visit of the Great Ming Naval Division to Kurumus was not just as simple as strengthening commercial and trade relations, but also had a political mission. The Persian nation has always been unruly, and King Kurumus is still living in the dream of the Persian Empire across Europe and Asia, and is lukewarm to the distant Chinese Empire, which makes the current emperor very unhappy, and the decree said: "Those who are far away are still guests, and Zheng He is ordered to go to the seal." The meaning is very clear, that is, to call Hurumus a tribute.

It was a top-secret task, and at the same time a difficult one, and the first meeting with the king today almost ended unhappily, and Zheng He was worried about it, and he could not imagine that the sudden appearance of a vulture would turn the situation around.

The king was so sincere, Zheng He and Tie Ta both smiled happily, and finally fulfilled their mission.

Before leaving, Zheng He came to Farah's shop again.

"The king of the tower is the great benefactor of our family, these Persian carpets will be given to you, the things are not valuable, talk about the heart." The bearded boss pushed back the silver handed over by Zheng He.

"If you don't take money, then I won't buy it." Zheng He said solemnly, "Our Chinese army will never ask for a stitch from the common people, you are making me make mistakes!" ”

"Oh well! I'll take it. The boss reluctantly took a silver ingot, "I'll only charge a cost price." ”

Zheng He smiled and stopped insisting, refusing other people's kindness three times and twice, it would be too much to say. He stuffed the largest carpet into the tower, "I am useless, and you can't refuse the boss's heart." ”

Tieta gladly accepted, although he did not have high requirements for life, but he was not a fool, and he didn't use such a good Persian carpet, did he really go to sleep on the straw?

Under the big tree outside the store, Farah secretly wept and looked resentful, "Can't you really stay?" ”

"I really can't!" Ding Erniu said categorically, "My ideal is to follow the Daming Sailor to spread the flower of friendship all over the world. ”
