344. Two years of Nanyang Covenant

It didn't take long for the White Lotus to walk in dressed as a woman, wrapped in red makeup, and wearing a jewel on her head.

At this time, Du did not forget to ask curiously:

"Didn't this bustard kick you out when he saw that you were a woman?"

White Lotus smiled and said:

"What I have is silver, and who doesn't like it, and he's willing to drive me out?"

Du did not forget to say:

"Yes!"

Then he looked carefully, sat down opposite the white lotus, and asked:

"You still wear such a thick outfit, aren't you afraid that I will paint you ugly?"

The White Lotus said:

"Light makeup is always appropriate, you know?"

Du did not forget to say:

"Okay, then I'll draw you as a Shih Tzu!"

The White Lotus immediately said:

"No, I'm not a Shih Tzu, and I don't want to be a Shih Tzu!"

Du did not forget to say:

"It's just a description, what are you excited about, don't talk to you, I'll start drawing!"

Then he strokes and gets up.

After a while, when the cherry mouth of the white lotus was drawn, Du did not forget to ask:

"Do you prefer thick or light lips?"

The White Lotus then said:

"Why don't you just dress up like me and draw it, do you still need to ask?"

Du Cheng said:

"Okay, that's what you said, don't blame me for the ugly painting. ”

It didn't take long for Du to make a painting and hand it to the white lotus, and when the hundred lotus saw it, he pointed to the lips and eyes on the portrait and said:

"People's eyes are so big, you have painted them smaller, and the lips are too thick, ugly, repaint. ”

Du Buyi smiled and said:

"You made me draw it yourself, and now you blame me, okay, I'll draw it again!"

Then I drew another one.

After seeing it, the white lotus said dissatisfiedly:

"You see my nose is so good-looking, you actually painted my nose bigger, you are looking at your eyebrows, are my eyebrows so ugly?"

After a lot of tossing and turning, it wasn't until it was almost dark that Du Buyi finally painted a portrait that satisfied the White Lotus.

At this time, the White Lotus Sect called a woman named Xi'e Qinglou to come in and asked the woman:

"Do you think I'm beautiful, or the person in the portrait is beautiful? Tell me the truth, or I'll ruin your face!"

Then he took the Tai'a sword and compared it on Xi'e's face, so frightened that Xi'e was nervous for a while and didn't dare to speak, and after a while, he eased up and said:

"The portrait woman doesn't look like you at all, you are as beautiful as a fairy, but the portrait woman is not good-looking at all, it's better to be fine!"

When the white lotus heard this, she angrily slapped this Xi'e and said:

"Get out of here!"

Du did not forget to smile at this time and said:

"You asked me to paint it like this, it's already beautiful, and it's weird for someone else!"

The White Lotus directly tore the portrait in her hand and said:

"Forget it, you can draw a new picture with me, I won't pick it this time!"

After a while, after Du Yifu painted a portrait of the White Lotus, the White Lotus took the portrait and called the Xi'e who had been beaten by herself just now, and asked:

"What do you think of this portrait now!"

At this time, Xi'e said:

"It's good-looking, as beautiful as you, girl. ”

The White Lotus gave a silver ingot to Xi'e, and said:

"Then you get out!"

Du Buyi laughed out loud on the side and said:

"Look, you still don't believe me, I said it's good-looking!"

白lotus says:

"I won't fight with you!"

Then he said:

"I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

Du did not forget and said:

"Of course I'm hungry, I've been tossed by you all afternoon!"

The White Lotus then came over and took Du Yifu's hand and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to something to eat, and I'll compensate you!"

Then he asked the old bustard to send some wine and food, and by the way, he also called Du Buyi to call the two girls named Xiao'e and Xiao'er just now to come up and accompany the wine.

Seeing that Du did not forget that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding the two women, the White Lotus asked:

"Brother Du, are you dissatisfied with them?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"No, I don't have you anymore, how can I mess with them!"

The White Lotus then said:

"Brother Du, but I just want to be a brother with you, don't you really need a woman to serve you as a big man?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course I understand that you treat me as a brother, don't you understand me?"

The White Lotus asked:

"What do I know about you?"

After Du Yi didn't forget a glass of wine, he said:

"Forget it!"

Then he said to the two women beside him:

"Get out, we don't need to be served!"

After the two of them went out and closed the door, White Lotus said with a smile:

"Where has the once suave Du Gongzi gone?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It's dead, and now only Du who accompanies you White Lotus is here!"

The White Lotus then asked:

"Really dead?"

Du did not forget to say:

"Yes!"

White Lotus sentence:

"Well, I believe you!"

Then he stood up and said:

"Let's go back to the inn, I really can't stand the smell of rouge gouache here!"

Du did not forget and said:

"You're here yourself!"

The White Lotus said:

"Yes, I used to like to come to Qinglou because I was curious, and now I understand what is going on, so I don't like it anymore, I came today to let you relax, after all, I'm afraid that you, as a man, won't touch a woman for too long, and you can't hold back, since you're not interested, let's go!"

Then the two went back to the inn.

By the next day, the White Lotus pulled Du Bu Bu up early in the morning and said to Du Bu Bu Cheng:

"Didn't you mention that Wang Zhi, why don't we play all the way and find him all the way!"

Du Yi asked curiously:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me care about the rights and wrongs? I think we might as well take a boat to Suzhou and go south to Nanyang to play, after all, I haven't been there yet!"

The White Lotus said:

"Since you are so good to me, I have to think about you, I don't want you to have something in your heart, let's go to your friend Wang Zhi and persuade him to stop harming the residents, and then go to Nanyang by sea?"

Du did not forget and replied:

"Lotus, thank you for thinking of me!"

So after the two of them packed their luggage, they found a boat and went directly to Shandong by sea.

Two months later, Du Buyi and White Lotus traveled all the way to the coast and arrived on a group of small islands around Penglai Island in Shandong, where Wang Zhi was training at this time.

Seeing that Du Buyi and White Lotus came to the island, Wang Zhi hurriedly invited the two of them to sit in a house on the island and talk about the old days.

After some conversation, it was found that Wang Zhi was not only training troops now, but also doing trade between Fusang and Daming, but unfortunately, Daming's strict ban on the sea caused Wang Zhi's trade to use these Japanese robbers as a shield to threaten the officials of the coastal state capital, and these officials secretly allowed some people to trade with Wang Zhi and others.

After listening to it, Du Yi said:

"I didn't expect Brother Wang to be so difficult now!"

汪直 says:

"Yes, there's no way, in order to survive, you have to feed so many people!"

Du did not forget to ask again:

"Could it be that Brother Wang, you can only secretly trade with Daming?"

汪直 says:

"Yes, if we don't trade with Daming, who can we do with!"

Du Bu Bu suddenly remembered and said:

"It seems that the Nanyang states don't have a ban on the sea, why don't you go to them?"

Wang Zhi said:

"We don't know those countries in Nanyang, even if we go, people won't pay attention to us!"

Du did not forget and said:

"If they agree to trade with you, will you stop invading the Ming coast?"

Wang Zhi replied:

"That's impossible, if it's true that the Nanyang countries will trade with us, I, Wang Zhi, can guarantee that my subordinates will not invade the Ming Dynasty for at least fifteen years!"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"Is it true?"

汪直 says:

"Of course it's true, when did I Wang Zhi tell a lie, besides, if we buy the ivory and spices of the South Seas and take them back to Fusang to sell, it will be much more profitable than smuggling porcelain and silk in Daming!"

Du did not forget to look at the white lotus on the side, and then said:

"I and the white girl are planning to go to Nanyang to play, if Brother Wang, you believe me, from today onwards, don't disturb the coastal residents of the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely let the Nanyang countries come to trade with Brother Wang within a year!"

Wang Zhi immediately said:

"Brother Du, what you think is too simple, the countries of Nanyang are all afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and we are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, how can they trade with us?"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"I believe that if you try, you will succeed!"

Wang Zhi said:

"Well, from today onwards, my Wang Zhi's subordinates will not disturb the coastal residents of the Ming Dynasty, I know that Brother Du, you will come back from Nanyang!"

Then he continued:

"If within two years, Brother Du, you haven't come back from Nanyang, then in order to survive, we will have to raid the Ming coast again. ”

Du did not forget to reply:

"Okay!"

Then say goodbye to the White Lotus, and return to the ship.

At this time, a boatman asked Du Buyi and the White Lotus:

"Are you really going to the South Seas?"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"Yes!"

The boatman then said:

"But the South China Sea is perennially stormy, and ships are the most prone to accidents!"

Seeing this, the White Lotus said to the boatman:

"What are you afraid of? Can I double the money for you? I have the money anyway!"

Then he took out a bag of silver from his bosom and handed it to the boatman.

After the boatman got the money, he said happily:

"Since both guests are so bold, what are we afraid of!"

So he said to the boatmen who were resting around him:

"The guest has added money to us, everyone hurry up and set sail, let's go to Nanyang!"

After the boat sailed, Du Buyi returned to the cabin room with the White Lotus to rest.

Du did not forget to look at the sea outside the window and said to the white lotus:

"Lotus, we've had to be on the sea for at least a few months this way, can you endure the hardships?"

White Lotus replied with a smile:

"I liked to ride boats when I was a child, and now I can live on the sea, of course I'm happy, the sea is the most beautiful!"

After a while, it was dark, and the white lotus pulled Du Buyi out and sat on the bow of the boat to enjoy the moon, after all, this way to Penglai Island, the two of them were like this night in the bow of the boat to enjoy the moon until they were sleepy before going back to sleep.

Du did not forget to point to the moon in the sky, which was close to fifteen, and said to the white lotus:

"Have you heard the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi?"

The White Lotus replied:

"I only heard that Hou Yi Nai was a king in ancient times, and for the sake of the people of the world, he raised a bow and arrows to shoot down the nine suns in the sky that almost roasted the people to death at that time, and became a generation of heroes, and I really haven't heard of anything with Chang'e!"

Du did not forget to say:

"What you said is recorded in the history books, I think what I want to tell you is a legend!"

The White Lotus then said:

"Okay, tell me!"

Du Buyi didn't forget to talk about Hou Yi and Chang'e Fairy, they were originally a couple at the earliest, but later Chang'e made a request to Hou Yi, that is, if Hou Yi could breathe down the ten suns in the sky at that time, Chang'e would agree to marry him.

So Hou Yi began to practice archery hard, until finally nine suns fell for Chang'e Musk, and then Chang'e was actually taken by the Emperor of Heaven.

White Lotus immediately asked:

"Then it must be the Emperor of Heaven who separated the two of them, right?"

Du did not forget to say:

"Yes, so the Emperor of Heaven directly brought Chang'e to the Heavenly Palace, so Hou Yi was angry, and he no longer looked at the last sun, so he thought about how to go to the sky to find Chang'e all day long!"

White Lotus immediately asked again:

"Did the emperor get Chang'e that day?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course not, otherwise there would be the legendary Moon Palace prisoner Chang'e Fairy!"
