The vast sea resembles an old man with a strange temper, not always so kind and docile. www.biquge.info As the fleet continued south, the weather became more elusive, sometimes clear skies, sometimes thunder and lightning. Even if it is such a huge warship, the sea can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, and the wind and rain are shaking everyone's hearts.

Fortunately, after that epidemic, the soldiers on the ship only occasionally suffered from dysentery, and there were no more major diseases such as hemorrhage and epidemic, so the fleet sailed for more than half a month, and finally a piece of island appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Zheng He took out the map he brought from the palace and looked at it carefully, and then determined the direction from the compass, and finally confirmed that the island in front of him was the Three Buddhas.

"Someone, please invite Vice General Ji and Ye Shaoxia to come and discuss matters!" Zheng He commanded loudly.

After a while, Ye Cheng and Ji Tianming both came to the cabin, Ye Cheng saw that Zheng He's face was full of tiredness, his cheeks were sunken, obviously overworked, and he had completely lost the full expression he had when he was in Chongming Island.

"Lord Zheng, isn't the island in front of us the Three Buddhas?" Ye Cheng asked first.

Zheng He nodded and said: "Exactly, I heard that the original owner of this island is named Wang Daoming, and he is also a hero, and his son Wang Ce is even more courageous. ”

Ye Chengdao: "There is a word in the bottom, I don't know what Master Zheng thinks." ”

"Please. ”

"Sanfo Island is located in the middle of nowhere, we are all new to the island, I don't know anything about the situation on the island, since this Chen Zuyi is a pirate, then he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, in addition to the fact that he has captured a large number of innocent children, so if the army attacks, Chen Zuyi's dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will inevitably be burned, so that those children will also be affected. Ye Cheng said eloquently.

Zheng He felt justified when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Ye Shaoxia is extremely worried, but I don't know if there is any high opinion to avoid?"

Ye Cheng arched his hand and said: "Since you are a person in the rivers and lakes, then use the methods of the rivers and lakes to deal with it." In the next thought that the army should not land on the island first, let the next go to the island first, and then make calculations after finding out the details and situation of the other party. If this Chen Zuyi is lost, of course, it is the best, if not, he can also spy on the situation elsewhere to determine the attack strategy. ”

Zheng He said with a smile: "That being said, I'm afraid Ye Shaoxia will be disappointed." Thinking that Chen Zuyi has been rampant on the sea for many years, and now he is the king of the land, how can he be willing to spit out the bones that reach his mouth? However, what Shaoxia said is also quite reasonable, the army does not know the truth and the truth, and it is indeed impossible to rush forward. It's better to do this, I will send General Ji Tianming to land on the island with you to spy on the truth, but what you get will be rewarded immediately, don't fall in love with war. ”

Ye Cheng was very happy when he saw Zheng He agree.

Zheng He paused and said: "Since the army has arrived, if it is inconvenient to stay on the ship for a long time, we will first land on the island and station, one for the sergeant to repair, and the other can also deter the enemy for assistance." ”

Ye Cheng felt that this was fine, so he arched his hand and said: "Then thank you Lord Zheng, I will go back and tell my friends now, and when I get to the shore, I will go to the island to find out." ”

Zheng He said with a smile: "Ye Shaoxia went to danger for the country, the person who should thank me should be Zheng He, then there will be Lao Shaoxia." ”

When Ye Cheng walked out of the cabin, he found that the sky had fallen with scattered raindrops, and although it was approaching the end of summer, the air at sea still felt humid and stuffy. Ye Chen walked quickly to the cabin where Zhong Qing and the others lived, and found that everyone was actually in the hall.

"Brother Ye, you are here, this flower girl was sick again just now, and she was clamoring that she saw her child in the sea, and she had to jump down to find it, and several of us finally stopped her. Zhong Qing saw Ye Cheng coming, and said breathlessly.

Ye Chengdan saw that it was not only Zhong Qing, but also Hu Sanxiao, Huo Ran and Wei Rou, who could toss just now. At this time, the flower girl was tied to a Taishi chair and looked at the floor with a dull gaze.

Ye Cheng smiled sadly for Hu San in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Hu, is Hua Niang okay?"

Hu San smiled bitterly and said: "I've been used to it for a long time, but I think her illness is getting worse and worse, if she can't be treated, I'm afraid she won't live long, I can't keep an eye on her all the time, in case there is a miss......"

Ye Cheng comforted: "Brother Hu, don't worry, after we triumph, we will definitely find the best doctor to treat Hua Niang." ”

"Brother Ye, when I was looking for you just now, someone said that you were called away by Lord Zheng, but is there anything wrong?" asked Zhong Qing.

Ye Chengdao: "Sanfo Island is right in front of me, and Lord Zheng just asked me to discuss the matter after landing on the island." ”

"I heard that Chen Zuyi is a bandit, and besides, we don't know much about the situation on the island, have you ever discussed a result?" Huo Ran asked again.

Ye Chengdang was about to tell everyone what he had discussed with Zheng He. Zhong Qing was the first to rush to say: "If this Chen Zuyi is a person in the rivers and lakes, then there must be a person in the martial arts on his island, just like the thief's den in Wei Chong on Chongming Island." Brother Ye, you can't go on an adventure alone, Qing'er still has to accompany you this time. ”

Wei Rou on the side heard Zhong Qing say this about his father, and couldn't help but feel sad for a while, bowing her head and saying nothing. Ye Cheng hurriedly looked at Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing was actually not intended, seeing Wei Rou like this, he quickly stuck out his tongue, walked over and said softly: "Miss Wei, don't care, I didn't mean to......"

Ye Cheng hurriedly diverted the conversation and said: "Chen Zuyi has been dominating the sea for many years, naturally he is indispensable to his right-hand man, recently he occupies the island as the king, and has a lot of connections with the Central Plains martial arts, this time I went to the island first, not to compete with him, but to spy on the main." ”

Huo Ran said slowly: "Even if it is an espionage, there are many dangers, how can Ye Gongzi be alone in danger, Huo should accompany Gongzi and his party." ”

Hu Sanxiao on the side also said: "Ye Cheng, my wife's name is in your hand, how can you send it to death if you want to." I will go with you, lest you die and I will have nowhere to be healed. ”

Seeing that everyone was like this, Ye Cheng couldn't shirk it, so he had to say: "Everyone is willing to go together, and I am grateful, but this trip is not more than 10,000 times more dangerous than on Chongming Island, and you still have to be more careful along the way." ”

Hu Sanxiao sneered: "You kid has only been in the rivers and lakes for a few years, and you still need to be reminded of these things?"

Zhong Qing said unhappily on the side: "Brother Ye is also well-intentioned, why are you so fierce." ”

"That'...... Then I'll ......" Wei Rou on the side saw that everyone was going to the island, so she also asked in a low voice.

"Miss Wei naturally can't take risks, just like she said at the beginning, you can follow Master Zheng. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

"Yes, the weak can't help but have a good life, and no one hurts the stupid girl. Zhong Qing didn't have a good airway.

Ye Cheng knew Zhong Qing's temper, so he had to pretend that he hadn't heard anything. While everyone was talking, Sanfo Island was approaching.

The horn sounded on the ship, deafening, Zheng He was not ready to attack, but he would not dock quietly, he wanted to take the lead to deter Chen Zuyi on the island, whether Chen Zuyi chose to resist or obey, Zheng He wanted him to understand that the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty could not be taken lightly.

Ye Cheng took Zhong Qing, Huo Ran, Wei Rou, Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang to the deck, and looked around, but saw that the Three Buddha Islands stretched for a long time, and the islands were stacked with mountains, compared to Chongming Island, it was really a small place.

Zheng He stood on the bow of the ship with a jade belt in his hand, and was explaining the landing to dozens of lieutenant generals, while Ye Cheng waited quietly behind until Zheng He finished assigning.

"Ye Shaoxia, are you here? The affairs of the army have been assigned, can Ye Shaoxia prepare?" Zheng He saw Ye Cheng and asked with a smile.

"Lord Zheng rest assured, I have already told all my friends below, let's go up first to visit that Chen Zuyi, the army is like destroying the withering and decaying, Chen Zuyi has been in the rivers and lakes for many years It is impossible not to know the current affairs, if he can follow the advice, release the children, and change the evil and return to the right, we can also save a big war and avoid the destruction of life. Ye Cheng said.

Zheng He nodded with a serious expression and said: "This is dangerous, I hope Ye Shaoxia will not forget what I said, but if there is a need, just put this as a number, and I will immediately order someone to attack the island." After that, Zheng He instructed the soldiers around him to bring three "letter lanterns", which were specially used to ignite and release signals when the Ming army was fighting.

After Ye Cheng, Zheng He handed over a long sword and said: "This sword is called Yuehua, it is one of the three swords collected by Emperor Chengzu. ”

Seeing this, Ye Cheng took the sword, and his heart was moved. At the same time, I heard that this sword was given by Zhu Di, and it was inevitable that I had a lot of feelings.

Immediately, Ye Cheng was afraid that Zheng He would notice, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Zheng is so compassionate, he is already flattered, don't worry about it after I go, just wait for good news." ”

At this time, the battleship had already arrived at the shore, and after everything was arranged, Ye Cheng put on the Yuehua sword, and got off the boat with Zhong Qing, Huo Ran, Ji Tianming, Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang, and went straight to the island.

When I got closer, I saw a majestic island, green vines around the stream, green pothos stacked on top of each other, Ye Cheng couldn't help but be interested, and immediately recited loudly: "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi, to view the sea." The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. The journey of the sun and the moon is like being out of it, and the stars are splendid, if it is out of it. Fortunately, the song is a song. ”

Zhong Qing said with a smile on the side: "Brother Ye, we have arrived in such a dangerous place, you are still so happy, you are not afraid that the tiger will eat you after a while." ”

Ye Cheng smiled: "I don't know why, the more dangerous it is, the more excited I am, since there is danger whether I am happy or sad, why not be happy." ”

Along the way, Ye Cheng and the others saw three or five islanders, wearing coarse cloth shirts, scarves tied on their heads, and silk silk around their waists, working in the fields, their tanned skin soaked out a lot of sweat due to the perennial wind and sun, and they emitted oily light under the sun.

"Brother Ye, don't you look strange, obviously we have sounded the horn before we landed on the island, the sound is so loud, these islanders are on the edge of the island, it is impossible not to hear them, but now you see that they seem to have nothing to do, they still work in the fields by themselves, and they don't even look at us strangers when they come. Zhong Qing pointed to the islanders who were working in the distance and whispered to Ye Cheng.

"Yes, Childe, things are quite unusual, and we'd better be careful. Huo Ran said beside him.

Ye Cheng nodded, and pointed with his hand: "You see there is a pavilion over there, it seems that there are many people around, let's go over and have a look." ”

When everyone looked at it, there was indeed a gazebo in the distance, which was crowded with people, as if there were many people around.

When everyone walked through the field road and came to take a closer look, it was really lively. I saw the crowd of black pressure, surrounded by the inner and outer three layers several times, and applauded from time to time. Ye Cheng and the others separated everyone and looked inside, it turned out that there were two people sitting on the stone table in the middle, one of them was dressed as a pedant, his clothes had been open a few buttons, he kept fanning with his hand on the collar, and with the other hand he took out a handkerchief, he was constantly wiping the sweat on his forehead, and his chest was lying on the ground together, looking very restless, while on the other side was a teenager, with bright eyes, and he was leisurely looking at the pedant opposite.

"Well, now it's my turn again. Ye Cheng only heard the young man say with a smile.
