Ankara.

"Phew! Phew! ”

Zhu Zhanyan spit out the contents of his mouth, and looked at the "sumptuous" dinner in front of him speechlessly.

Today on a whim, he suddenly wanted to taste what the so-called Idali cuisine tasted like in this era, but let it be ......

How so? Meat is still good, after all, there are only a few ways to make meat in this era, and basically it will not be too unpalatable, but pasta is not.

How to describe it?

Zhu Zhanyan thought that it was probably the feeling that Marco Polo had let the dog chase on the way back after traveling to the East, and as a result, the second volume of the pasta recipe was lost......

"His Royal Highness." Jian Xiao walked in, and when she saw Zhu Zhanyan's expression and what she spit out on the ground, she didn't know how to react for a while.

"What's wrong? Something to say. ”

"Your Highness." Jian Xiao came back to her senses and lowered her head and began to report.

"The soldiers have been assembled and corrected, and the grain, grass and baggage have also been prepared, and the villain would like to ask you when you can set off."

"Hmm......" Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and thought about it, and only beckoned after a while.

"Sit."

Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then she woke up and sat down with Zhu Zhanyan's movements.

"Eat some, this pasta is not good, the meat can still be eaten."

"Regarding the departure, let's wait for tomorrow, it's not early today, even if you set off, you can't go far, it's better to let everyone rest for a night."

"Yes." Jian Xiao bowed slightly, and then unceremoniously picked up a leg of an unknown animal and tore it.

has been with Zhu Zhan Yan for a long time, and Jian Xiao also understands Zhu Zhan Yan's temperament.

Zhu Zhanyan's temper is actually quite distinct, he shows no mercy to the enemy, and he can deal with it as he wants, but he is very good to his own people, even those Ah San who were brought in as pioneers.

Therefore, in contrast, Jian Xiao still likes to follow Zhu Zhanyan, rather than being stationed in the Wa Kingdom for several years like Qian Yong.

However, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't like to let Jian Xiao follow him, because Jian Xiao is a very smart person, he has high hopes for Jian Xiao and doesn't want him to follow him all the time.

It's not that there are any other ideas, it's just that when everyone is around them, they will habitually not think and choose to follow their own orders, and Jian Xiao can't be such a person.

For Jian Xiao's future, Zhu Zhanyan has long had a plan, and in his planning, Jian Xiao must be one of the most important people.

Let's put it this way, in addition to the Suez Canal, which is already manned now, there are also the Turkish Strait and the Strait of Malacca, and in Zhu Zhan's plan, Jian Xiao will be stationed in one of these two places for a long time in the future.

"That's right, Your Highness." After a simple two-bite bite, Jane smiled and stopped.

"It's just that you let Mu Bin clean up the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, those people can't make any waves, it's more suitable for Mu Bin to practice, but isn't it inappropriate to let Qian Yong and Sanfeng go over?"

"What's inappropriate?" Zhu Zhanyan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"He is the next helmsman of the Mu family, maybe he doesn't have to be particularly good, but he is also better than ordinary people, but now he is not very qualified."

"You have to see what you should see, and it's not a problem to hide all the time."

……

Jian Xiao lowered his head slightly, in fact, this was not what he wanted to say.

Recently, with the control of the Ming Dynasty by King Wu, there have been more and more rumors.

Again, when a beam of light breaks through the darkness and shines on the earth, everyone sings about it, but after a long time in the sun, people begin to spurn it until the light disappears again and does not know when.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty, who blindly emphasized benevolence, and Zhu Zhanqi, who was decisive in killing, was the light in the darkness, and people saw hope in him, and saw the hope that he would no longer be bullied again and again by the grassland, the Japanese and Annan in the future.

But later, after a long time, people became accustomed to the comfortable life brought about by Zhu Zhan's decisiveness, and they began to be afraid.

Afraid that Zhu Zhan's killing will be decisive and non-stop, and will eventually let them or their fathers, husbands and children go to the battlefield where life and death are unknown, and I am afraid that Zhu Zhan will be murderous and finally aim the butcher's knife at them.

So they began to gossip, and even began to spit on Zhu Zhanyan, as well as the entire line of King Wu.

Jian Xiao knew very well that Zhu Zhan Yan was the pillar of King Wu's first line, if Zhu Zhan's pillar fell, then the newly completed building of King Wu would collapse in an instant.

Therefore, he was very worried, worried that when Zhu Zhanyan was in Shuntianfu, those remarks would have an impact on Zhu Zhanyan.

In Jian Xiao's eyes, Zhu Zhanyan left Daming "in a hurry" and came here, which was actually a manifestation of evasion.

"Your Highness, there are many people who say that you have done something wrong, at least you should not continue to wage war for such a long time."

Jian Xiao wanted to pick as few light words as he could, but he wasn't a politician and didn't know how to say those words, and they were actually light enough.

"Jane smiled presumptuously, I would like to ask you, do you feel that you are ...... Well...... Wrong? ”

"You're asking me if I feel like I'm doing something wrong, right?" Zhu Zhanyan heard Jian Xiao's off-string sound, and directly broke it.

Jane smiled and bowed her head, silent.

"Jane laughs, don't worry so much." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and began to explain Jian Xiao.

"People live this life, and if they want to open up a little, aren't the people saying that I did something wrong? And he said that sooner or later I would be punished, but you can see that I am very open-minded. ”

"If one day the report comes, it's natural that I'm doing something wrong."

"And what if you don't come?" Jian Xiao looked at Zhu Zhanyan in a daze, and subconsciously picked up.

"If I haven't been retributed, doesn't that mean I'm right?"

……

Jane smiled and almost opened her mouth, but finally held back.

He didn't need Zhu Zhanyan's explanation, because after that special experience back then, he had already seen it, and he never cared about other people's eyes.

It's just that he originally planned to explain Zhu Zhanyan, but he didn't expect to be dismissed by Zhu Zhanyan.

Looking at Jian Xiao, who was stunned in place, Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly and did not speak again.

He didn't believe in retribution, and even if he did, he didn't feel like he would be retributioned.

Since the original Han King became a vassal in one line, he began to conquer everywhere, and everywhere he passed was thousands of miles of red land, and there was only one Nanzhou Mansion that was an exception.

Those countries conquered by him are not only gone, but the people are basically gone, what retribution can there be?

If he wants to say that there is, then he can only be within the Ming Dynasty, or the union of the powerful, or the spontaneity of the people.

But does that count?

"His Royal Highness." Just as Zhu Zhanyan was thinking, Zhu Ling walked in.

"The grain and grass sent by Xiangzhou Mansion have arrived, but the person who sent the things ......"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanyan's brows furrowed.

It is quite rare to make Zhu Ling have such an embarrassed look.

Seeing that Zhu Zhan was displeased, Zhu Ling lowered his head and spit out a person's name.

"Second Sister Shi."
