The hundreds of people in the Lingbo Pavilion made trouble for a night, and finally dispersed when the sky was almost dawning.

On this night, in this crowded pavilion, there were words and sharp fights, and there were also real knives and real guns. Everyone's hearts hung in their throats all night, and now they finally sank back to their places with fatigue. Although the vast majority of people may not have a chance to make this big order in the end, there is a lot of talk to be gained tonight.

The two ships of Jianghuai and Shanglong, who have always been high-spirited, lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot. not only did he get nothing after spending a huge amount of money, but he also made a fuss after making a wedding dress for someone. This time it can be regarded as a complete loss.

Boss Jia ran such a small boat line that was about to survive, but he didn't know what kind of luck he had hit, and he actually earned the order of the heavenly family. It's just that whether things can be done or not, everyone is still waiting and seeing. Will he ascend to heaven once he attain enlightenment, or will he bear the sin of bullying the king from now on, and even if he does not kill his head, his reputation will be stinky from now on. Luck or misfortune is still unknown at this time.

Yan Junhao, a master disciple of Huashan, can be regarded as the worst fall. Now that he has failed to provoke in Ninghai, it will not take long for the ugly story to be revealed, and it will always be added to the vinegar and quickly spread throughout China. Later, when people called him "hero", I don't know how much respect and ridicule there is.

And whether he used the evil skill of stealing the teacher in the end or not, everyone will always tell others their own opinions. In the end, it is really hard to say what reputation the Huashan faction will have.

On behalf of the emperor, Zheng He and Zheng Gonggong wanted to come to Ninghai to purchase a sea ship as large as 2,000 materials, but what was the purpose? The Ming Dynasty opened a ban on the sea from the Hongwu period, and there was a strict order that "not an inch of board should go to sea." Obviously, the sudden and large-scale purchase of sea vessels is going to change, is there going to be a change in the direction of the wind?

For thousands of years, this world has been "good at the top, but bad at the bottom". People often say that "the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the court is starving to death", if the sea can really be reopened in the future, then the fortune of the ship is coming. Everyone silently speculated in their hearts whether they should open a few more docks and recruit some workers after a while.

Since there are so many things that people can speculate about, not many people care about a small matter anymore. And this "little thing" is extremely important to two people, a matter of life and death.

"What are you kidding? You want us to test the ship with your life, you must at least discuss it with me!"

In a room at the Four Seas Inn. Ji Changan was almost roaring. He propped his hands on a table of eight immortals, and his eyes glared angrily at Zheng He, who was sitting across from him, and he could see green tendons floating on his neck.

It seems that Ji Changan really didn't know this time, and he was really angry. will talk like this to Zheng He, who has always been a good friend.

And Zheng He was separated by the round table, not disturbed by Ji Changan's anger, and still looked calm.

At this time, there was a third person sitting in the room, that is, Fang Zhongjin, who was completely dragged into the water. He looked at the two men in silence, his mind quickly analyzing what was going on in front of him. And what kind of plot is Zheng He.

It turned out that when he was in Lingbo Pavilion, Zheng He asked Boss Jia to try to make a sea boat for himself, but he was ridiculed by Yan Junhao for risking his life.

No one could have imagined that at that time, Zheng He said that he would go to sea to test the ship in person. What made Fang Zhongjin even more unexpected was that Zheng He also said that he and Ji Changan would go to sea with him.

At that time, Fang Zhongjin looked at Ji Changan in surprise. At first, when Ji Changan begged Fang Zhongjin to come, he just said that he would help him defend against Yan Junhao. He never said that he would accompany Zheng He to go to sea to test the ship.

But when Fang Zhongjin looked at Ji Changan, he saw that his eyes were also inexplicable. Apparently he was completely unaware of it.

The shock at that time had passed, and now Fang Zhongjin looked at Zheng He coldly. Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan may still have some friendship between birth and death, but he has never had a deep friendship with Zheng He.

This man looks like a smiling tiger, and can handle everything smoothly. No matter who kicks his nose at him, he can also deal with it with a smile.

But such people are the most terrible.

Ji Changan may have some trust in Zhongjin in the other party, so he always has a cold face in front of others. And when he met Fang Zhongjin, he was more willing to show his true emotions.

But no matter who Zheng He is dealing with, whether it is the county order or the owner of the shipping company, together with the other Fang Zhongjin and even Ji Changan, he is always a harmless smile.

Zheng He even said something ambitious to Fang Zhongjin in the middle of the night. It's just that they have such a shallow exchange with each other, which is contrary to common sense.

What the hell is Zheng He for? Fang Zhongjin looked at his eyebrows carefully, but he still couldn't guess.

Zheng He may say that he has no heart for anyone, and he has a layer of defense against everyone. He may have too many responsibilities and secrets in his heart that none of them can tell. So who is the one who can make Zheng He let go of his defense?

Is it Zhu Di?

Zheng He's expression was not at all unusual in a fierce gaze and a cold and inquiring gaze. He simply stood up and pulled out a scroll of charts from his baggage.

Zheng He spread out the chart in front of the two. This chart looks to depict the area from the East China Sea to the South China Sea. Charts depict a variety of tiny islands, reefs and even ocean currents in the vicinity. And there is a larger island, which is carefully traced with a red pen. The island was already very far away from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even closer to the boundary of the Fusang Kingdom in the East.

As soon as Fang Zhongjin saw this chart, Tongren immediately took a picture. He knew that such things were not something that ordinary people could easily see. Even the Ministry of War may not be able to get such detailed charts. This must be the map that Zhu Di consulted before the emperor. Fang Zhongjin has always had the ability to never forget, but after looking at it for a while, he wrote down the location of each island in the chart. In particular, the island painted in vermilion was deeply imprinted in Fang Zhongjin's mind.

Sure enough, Zheng He pointed his finger at this vermilion island and said, "We are going to this island for this trial ship." It's lonely here, and the waves are big enough that it's a good thing to try to go there. ”

When Zheng He took out the chart, Ji Changan was silent. Obviously, he accepted Zheng He's opinion and agreed to go to test the ship in person. I don't know what the meaning of this chart, or the vermilion islands depicted in this chart, is.

But this does not mean that Fang Zhongjin will also be moved by this inexplicable thing. Fang Zhongjin said coldly to Zheng He: "You can go wherever you want to test the ship." You don't have to be with me. ”

Zheng He had long expected that Fang Zhongjin would not agree to him so easily, but he still said to him with a smile:

"I chose this island for a boat trial because it has benefits that are not available anywhere else. Don't you want to know?"
