On March 21, the zodiac said that it was advisable to travel, and the envoy to Fusang was scheduled for this day.

Ye Haotian and Lan'er said goodbye to their parents, came to the riverside dock unhurriedly, and looked at it, and were greatly surprised.

But I saw that seven or eight large and small ships were lined up in the center of the river, which was more than 100 zhang away from the shore. The largest is a Zheng He treasure ship, nine masts and twelve sails, the posture is majestic, the giant is unmatched, 44 zhang 4 feet long, 18 zhang wide, a single iron rudder, it takes 2 or 300 people to move, and the whole ship can accommodate thousands of people. The second is a 'horse boat', 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide. Then there was a 'grain ship', twenty-eight zhang long and twelve zhang wide. Finally, there were two 'sitting boats' and three eighteen-zhang long 'war ships'.

got on Zheng He's treasure ship, Ye Haotian couldn't help but praise it.

Because the hull of the treasure ship was so large, the sailors alone were equipped with seven hundred people. All kinds of supplies were well prepared, not only to store fresh water, but also to carry soil for growing vegetables.

The treasure ship's cabin is divided into six levels, three of which are located above deck. Ye Haotian and Lan'er lived on the top floor, the second floor was inhabited by the masters of the Ouchi, the business elite and the debaters and lobbyists, the third floor was inhabited by the musicians of the teaching workshop and the Qin Huai singers, and the other three floors were located below deck, where ordinary boatmen and handymen lived. In addition to the top floor, there is a conference hall on each floor.

The chief captain in charge of the fleet's navigation was a gray-haired old man, and when he saw Ye Haotian and his wife on the boat, he hurriedly came over to ask for instructions: "My lord, are we going slowly, or are we starry day and night?"

Ye Haotian asked rhetorically: "How long does it take to go to Fusang unhurriedly?"

The old man said: "As little as a month, as much as a month and a half." ”

Ye Haotian pondered for a moment and felt that there was not enough time, so he ordered: "Then let's star tomorrow day and night, it is best to arrive within twenty days, but don't be tired of everyone." ”

The old man said yes and ordered his men to sail.

The fleet goes down the river, drifting along the water, under the blue sky, the river surface is faintly visible a little fishing boat, hanging red sails obliquely, appearing from time to time.

Lan'er was in the cabin on the top floor, leaning against the window, with a breeze on her face, looking at the fishermen who cast their nets sideways on the fishing boat, but seeing them wearing hats on their heads, leisurely, it seemed particularly peaceful and serene.

Ye Haotian felt that it was necessary to familiarize himself with the specific situation on the ship, so he asked the old man to lead him around the boat, asking questions as he went.

Through conversation, he knew that the old man's surname was Deng, his name was Deng Xingchu, and he had followed the eunuch Sanbao to the Western Ocean in the past, and he was a captain in the fleet at that time.

Ye Haotian casually asked about Zheng He's trip to the West, and at the same time asked the old man what he thought about this mission.

Deng Xingchu touched his goatee and thought hard, and then said, "My lord, Gonggong Zheng also went to the Wa Kingdom in the past. In April of the second year of Yongle, the Japanese invaded the coastal area of Zhejiang Province until the Yangtze River Estuary in Jiangsu. Gonggong Zheng was ordered to send an envoy to Fusang to negotiate with Fusang King Yuan Daoyi. Yuan Daoyi was exhausted, and then more than 20 thieves were arrested. They put the thieves to death by 'steaming' and then offered them to us. After Gonggong Zheng returned to Beijing to report, Emperor Yongle 'praised his diligence and gave the king nine chapters' to Fusang State, and allowed his country to pay a tribute for ten years, and he could trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. During that time, the Japanese along the coast of the current dynasty did restrain a little. Therefore, it is more difficult for the adults to go this time, but if an agreement can be reached, it will definitely be a great thing for the benefit of the people. ”

Ye Haotian was familiar with 10,000 ancient books, but he didn't know enough about the affairs of this dynasty.

Because historians of all dynasties have always only remembered the previous dynasties, not the present, the more modern things are, the more difficult it is to understand the truth.

Therefore, he caught Deng Xingchu and refused to let go, and carefully inquired about Zheng He's envoy to Fusang, hoping to find something worth learning from.

The fleet soon reached the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the surrounding scenery changed a lot. As the treasure ship sails high and breaks through the waves, the shape of the islands in the sea is constantly changing, and the scenery changes from moment to time, and it seems that it will never be repeated. The sea breeze blows from the side, bringing a faint salty taste, and beyond that, there is the sea as far as the eye can see.

Ye Haotian had been thinking about whether he would encounter the Japanese Invaders, and even pondered several ways to deal with the Wolves, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't see the shadow of the Wolves, so he decided to arrange the relevant affairs of the envoy first.

He first invited ten Ouchi masters to the conference hall on the second floor of the cabin, ready to ask them about the depth of their skills.

When they saw him, they saluted.

Ye Haotian hugged his fists towards everyone, and complimented him casually: "At a glance, you can see that all the masters are profound, and all of them are rare masters. ”

Everyone looked at the weak scholar in front of them, and said with a grin: "My lord, please rest assured, we are all masters from various sects, and each of us can block a hundred with one." I heard that most of the Japanese are thin and short, where will they be our opponents?"

The leader was a tall and thin man in his fifties, who reprimanded him when he heard this: "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense! If the Japanese people didn't have two brushes, wouldn't the coastal Japanese invaders be wiped out by us long ago?

After the training, he turned his head and bowed to Ye Haotian and said, "My lord, when we go to Dongying, we will inevitably meet the masters among the Japanese people." We have no geographical advantage, and we have lost people, and if we do it, we may suffer, so it is better not to do it. ”

Hearing him say so low-key, half of the samurai frowned, as if they were not satisfied with what he had said.

Ye Haotian felt that the old man was quite self-aware, so he asked with interest: "The master must be the master of the masters, your old noble surname?"

The old man bowed down again and replied: "My Nangong Ying, born in the Nangong family, is not worth mentioning, so the adults laughed." He then introduced the rest of the samurai in turn.

Ye Haotian greeted and questioned them one by one, and remembered all the names of everyone in his heart.

Then he ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Nangong Ying alone.

Nangong Ying stood quietly in the cabin, waiting for him to speak.

Ye Haotian first smiled slightly, and then asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with Nangong Long, the head of the Nangong family, and why do you serve the imperial court in the palace?"

Nangong Ying glanced at him, puzzled why he was a weak scholar who cared about this matter, and paused before saying: "My person is the brother of the head of the Nangong family, and staying in the palace is also the intention of the head of the family, almost everyone knows about this matter, and it is not a secret." Not only us, but also other families have people who stay in the palace. ”

Ye Haotian didn't expect this kind of thing, and hurriedly asked: "So many martial arts people stay in the palace, is this what the emperor asked?"

Nangong Ying shook his head and said: "This is the rule set by Zhu Ying in the past with the Prison Heaven Ruler: the four great families and the nine major sects must send a master to serve in the palace, and the rest are not allowed to enter the capital easily. I entered the palace eighteen years ago, and I will be able to leave the palace in two years. Alas, I'm finally getting to the end. ”

Ye Haotian turned his mouth and asked, "I heard that the Nangong family once suffered a great disaster, I don't know what the situation is now?"

Nangong Ying stared at him intently, wondering how he knew so much.

At the same time, Ye Haotian was also looking at him.

Looking at each other, Nangong Ying saw honesty and naturalness in Ye Haotian's eyes, as well as endless friendliness and care, so she bowed down and replied, "Lord Xie is concerned." Half a month ago, I received the news that the head of the family and most of the family had escaped and were currently recuperating from their injuries somewhere, while trying to recover their strength. ”

Ye Haotian exclaimed very happily: "Okay! I hope that everyone in the Nangong family can get out of danger as soon as possible." Speaking of this, he looked at Nangong Ying's uneasy expression and said: "I met Nangong Hua, the third young master of the Nangong family, and promised him not to give up and became a confidant, so I know some things about the Nangong family." ”

Hearing this explanation, Nangong Yingcai frowned and said, "You mean Ah Hua? This kid, I only saw him when he was two or three years old, and he didn't know what he had grown up like after so many years." However, the news that came this time said that Ah Hua had made great contributions to the family, and the head of the family was ready to make him the heir. ”

Ye Haotian smiled slightly and said: "Nangong Hua's skills have advanced greatly, and he has already entered the immortal realm, but I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in the Nangong family for a long time." ”

Nangong Ying was shocked when she heard this: "What? The head of the family has not yet reached the immortal realm, so he can actually take a step first?"

Ye Haotian looked at him and smiled slightly, did not answer his question, but asked again, "How far are you from the immortal realm?"

Nangong Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "My people's skills have just reached the thirteenth level of the real human world. Alas, there is no way, staying in the palace without leaving home, lacking the necessary elixir support, coupled with busy affairs, it is difficult to clear the heart and few desires, and the entry of skills is too slow. It's really embarrassing compared to Ah Hua!"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "The palace is inside, how can there be a lack of elixir? I'm afraid you didn't say it, right? If you say it, I believe the emperor will also help you find a way." ”

Nangong Ying sighed: "The emperor has never practiced kung fu and doesn't understand the truth, even if he says it, it's in vain." ”

Ye Haotian asked again: "How are the skills of the few people who have come with you this time?"

Nangong Ying replied without hesitation: "Except for the Tianlingzi from Kongtong who has a slightly higher skill, the rest of the people are ordinary warriors, and they haven't even entered the real world. Tian Lingzi's skill is only slightly inferior to mine. The lord asked, what are you doing so carefully, are you really going to fight the Japanese people?"

Ye Haotian replied with a smile: "There may not be a battle between life and death, and competition and competition are inevitable." The emperor said that no matter what topic the other party proposes, we must take all of them, and if we lose, we will lose our power and humiliate the country!

Nangong Ying was taken aback when she heard this, and said in her mouth: "This ...... This...... How is it possible? In the Central Plains, there are people who are more skilled than me, and there will be no shortage of people who want to come to the Japanese country. The emperor didn't tell us about it......! The emperor also said that it was a beautiful mess, and said that as long as everything is done according to your orders. At this point, he rubbed his hands together, "What can I do? Why don't I go and call Ah Hua......

Ye Haotian shook his head and said: "No, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave, there are still many people in the Central Plains to be rescued, without him, that set of formations ...... If it doesn't work, others will be in danger. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that he had become a loner again, and he couldn't help but regret a little: "Why didn't you bring Mrs. Yunhua here? Even if Shaokang was here, it would be much better! Now Mrs. Yunhua is refining the artifact with Nuwa Niangniang, Shaokang is guarding the Nine Heavens Kunding, and the only Mr. Feng brought with him wants to protect the emperor, so there is no master available now." ”

But after thinking about it, "It seems that there is no need for a top master like Mrs. Yunhua to go to the Wa Kingdom." Because the real immortals rarely stay in the world, I am afraid that it is difficult to see the Sanqing Heavenly Gods in the Waguo Palace. As long as I can create one or two masters close to the immortal realm in a short period of time, maybe I don't have to do it myself. ”

Thinking of this, he secretly inspected the elixir he had reserved, and found that in addition to the Taishang Divine Pill, there were at least more than three of the other various Divine Pills, among which there were seven or eight of the Nine Turns Golden Pill from the Yellow Emperor, and there were more than ten Baicao Pills from the Red Emperor. Some of these divine pills were given by the White Emperor, some were bounties from Mr. Feng, some were snatched from the underground palace of the true god, and some were bought at a high price through Ximenlong. In the end, he also found a small bottle of jade paste given by the queen mother when Kunlun Mountain broke through the seven levels in a row, as well as hundreds of Tianxin Lotus that Lan'er had just obtained from the Yellow Emperor.

Nangong Ying had been looking at him uncertainly, and seeing that he had been muttering for a long time, he couldn't help but pause and said: "If I knew this, I should have asked my family to come to the ancestral elixir of cultivation, a skill that can withstand a jiazi." At the beginning of entering the palace, the head of the family promised to give me one when the period expired, but unfortunately it is too late now!"

Ye Haotian smiled at him, reached out and took out two Tianxin lotuses, and said: "These two lotus seeds are said to be the best in the world, and they can increase their strength after taking them, I don't know if it's true or not, you always try it, it's best to take one every three days." ”

Nangong Ying took the lotus seed and looked at it, half-believing it, wondering how he, a weak scholar, could be interested in elixir.

Ye Haotian didn't explain in detail, but continued: "You stay here for a long time, I'll come when I go." After that, he went out and took a pot of tea, opened the lid of the pot in a no-man's land, slowly dripped ten drops of jade paste, and then came to Nangong Ying again, and said in a calm tone: "This is a pot of superb Yunnan Tuo tea, you take it back to everyone to taste, one cup per person, it tastes very good, don't waste it." ”

Nangong Ying picked up the tea and walked out, secretly screaming in her heart: "If you want to say that the reward is almost the same, how can there be a reason to give tea to the master of the inner house?"

Sure enough, when the pot of tea appeared in front of the samurai, everyone's faces showed a look of scorn.

A short and fat man scolded with a "phew": "What kind of thing? Yunnan Tuocha is still regarded as a treasure! It's just a hillbilly!"

Another person "hehe" smiled and whispered: "This envoy looks full of gloss, like a rabbit master, in fact, he has never seen anything in the world, or he just doesn't know what is going on, I think I, Huang Shi, have been replacing tea with wine for ten years, and never drink things that can fade out of the birds." ”

The people next to him laughed.

Nangong Ying reprimanded: "Don't talk so much nonsense, the special envoy will reward, everyone will drink something!"

He took out the teacup and poured it for each person.

As soon as the short and fat man saw the color of the tea, he cried out: "What is this Yunnan Tuo tea? I don't drink this tea!"

A thin and small young man next to him picked up the tea and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Weber, I was born in the Yin-Yang Sect, and the strength of the Sect is the Yin-Yang Physiognomy. Don't believe it, I think the envoy is full of heaven, the earth is round, his eyes are bright, and his bearing is extraordinary, he should be a shrewd and capable person. This tea smells good, I was thirsty, so I drank it first. Then he drank it with a "bang".

Nangong Ying said to the rest of the people: "Everyone has drunk it, isn't it just a cup of tea? It's not medicine, you can't die if you drink it!"

When everyone saw the deputy commander speak, most of them picked up their teacups and drank them.

The last toast was Huang Shi, who had previously said that he had replaced tea with wine for ten years, he was good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and when he saw that everyone had drunk, he laughed dryly and said: "The deputy commander is right, isn't it just a cup of tea, I'll break the precepts, it's all about drinking medicine." After saying that, he also drank it with his neck up.

There was only the short and fat man who didn't drink tea, this person has always been unruly, and at this time he found that everyone was looking at him, raised his hand to push the teacup to the ground, and sneered: "Okay, I'm done drinking!"

Nangong Ying glared at him angrily, and said coldly: "Hu Kui, although you are the person of the Great Commander, but now that you are out of the house, it is better to be honest if you want to be in my charge." This is a good tea given by the envoy, if he sees you pour out the tea, everyone will not be able to get over it!"

Hu Kui shouted: "Deputy commander, you are also in charge of this kind of eating, drinking, and Lazar? The envoy is not the emperor, what can I do if I don't drink?"

At this moment, Weber, who was the first to drink tea, smacked his lips and approached, picked up the teapot and shook it, and found that there was not much left, so he poured a cup for Nangong Ying first, and said with a smile: "The adults only cared about letting us drink tea, and forgot to pour it for ourselves." This tea is good, please give me the rest. ”

Nangong Ying drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, waved his hand and said: "Even the pot is for you, bring it back and add some water and ......drink it slowly" Before the words fell, he suddenly said "oops", but he felt that a warm current suddenly appeared in the second vein of Rendu, which was similar to the feeling after the practice at two o'clock in the meridian, but it was more majestic and profound than before, which made him can't help but be surprised.

At this moment, the people who had drunk the tea before also sat on the ground one by one, most of them were surprised and delighted, obviously everyone felt that there was something strange in the tea.

Weber's kung fu was poor, so he felt a little late, and he had just drunk the last half of the cup before he suddenly started to burn.

Hu Kui saw that everyone was sitting on the ground, thinking that they had all been drugged by sweat, so he was so frightened that he rushed out of the cabin and looked around, but found that everything on the ship was as usual, and most of the people on the deck were talking and laughing, which really didn't look like a catastrophe was coming.

After a moment's pause, he slowly walked back into the cabin.

Looking at the surprised and happy expressions on the faces of the people sitting upright, the more he looked, the more confused he became, not knowing what was happening. He poured a bucket of cold water on a man's head according to the method of relieving the sweat medicine, and then stood by and watched.

The face of the poured man was angry, as if he was blaming him for many things. However, the man remained motionless, and his posture looked like he was practicing.

Hu Kui felt that it was incredible, but when he looked back, not only the person who was soaking wet, but all the people sitting there had put on their own practice postures!

After a while, Nangong Ying was the first to stand up, glanced at Hu Kui, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, you stupid......! You poured it down!"

Hu Kui exclaimed impatiently: "Isn't it just a cup of tea, why is the deputy commander so nagging?"

Nangong Ying glared at him and said, "What kind of tea is that? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's golden juice and jade liquid! I've seen it just now, and I've at least increased the strength of a jiazi! Do you think you're stupid?"

Hu Kui didn't want to believe it, thinking that Nangong Ying was playing him.

After a while, everyone woke up one after another, and everyone said happily: "It's so cool!

At this time, Weber turned around and ran with the teapot in his arms, shouting as he ran: "This is what the deputy commander promised me, and you are not allowed to rob it!"

Everyone looked at him with envy, and found that his way out of the cabin was obviously much lighter than before, as if he was a different person.

Hu Kui also saw it, and felt hard to believe it for a while. Seeing that everyone was elated, and then looking at the empty teacup that had been poured by himself, he suddenly sat on the ground like a deflated ball.

Nangong Ying remembered that she still had two lotus seeds on her body, and she couldn't help but feel a pounding in her heart. It was only then that he realized that this envoy was definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, Ye Haotian had already summoned ten business elites and ten debaters and lobbyists to a meeting in the conference hall on the second floor of the ship, and he asked everyone to first draft a draft agreement on trade with the Japanese state, and try to prepare as carefully as possible, so as not to rush around at that time.

The debaters were iron-mouthed and steel-toothed, and they refused to show weakness when they held internal meetings, and they even argued red-faced.

At issue is the principle of trade.

An old Confucian with a gray beard said: "The emperor said that he hopes we can reach a fair trade agreement with the Japanese state, so the word fairness is very important, that is, the two sides are mutually beneficial, and everyone does not suffer." ”

At this time, a young man in his twenties stood up and said: "We represent the interests of the Han nation, as long as we don't suffer losses, what does it matter if it is fair or unfair?"

Then there was a Confucian humanitarian: "You are all wrong, to suffer a loss is to take advantage." We are a country of etiquette, and we have always paid attention to treating others and treating ourselves well, so that we can make the four seas return and all ethnic groups worship ......"

Everyone has their own opinions and arguments.

Ye Haotian saw that there would be no result for a while, and at the same time, in order to give everyone a chance to communicate and get to know each other, he did not interfere in their debate, and said with a smile: "This kind of principle issue is very important, you might as well discuss it for a while, I have something to do, go out first, and come back later." With that, he walked out.

Lan'er sat quietly in the spacious cabin on the top floor alone, and when she saw Ye Haotian coming in, she floated in front of him lightly, and said with a smile: "I was meditating and practicing, and I faintly heard the sound of piano singing, it seems that the musician in the workshop is unwilling to be lonely, we might as well go and take a look." ”

Ye Haotian saw that she was very interested, so he stepped forward and took her Rouyi and smiled: "Okay, maybe I have to rely on these people to go to Dongying, and I can't treat them badly." ”

When he walked past the second cabin, Ye Haotian heard the impassioned voices of the debaters from afar, and he didn't know who had the upper hand.

They went down to the third floor of the cabin, but saw that there were already a few people gathered in the conference hall, among them there were three old people in their fifties who were playing musical instruments happily, and a half-old with a face covered with white powder was singing and dancing, and several people were very involved in the performance, and even Ye Haotian and Lan'er did not stop when they came in.

Lan'er smiled and watched for a while, thinking that the performance of several people was not bad.

After the performance of several people was over, she hurriedly applauded and praised: "Okay! The masters are so powerful, I wonder if you can accept me as a disciple?"

An old man turned his head and glanced at him, thinking that she was a singer who came with him, and snorted coldly: "Acting should pay attention to talent, not just because of a beautiful face......

The middle-aged woman who was still singing and dancing just now hurriedly stopped him: "What did Elder Wu say! This is Mrs. Envoy, everyone went to see when they got on the boat just now, only you sat still, look, it's embarrassing, right?" After speaking, he saluted Ye Haotian and Lan'er, and said: "The habit we have developed for many years, we feel uncomfortable if we don't practice for a day, I didn't expect it to alarm the Lord and Mrs., and ask the two of you for forgiveness." ”

Ye Haotian arched his hand and said: "All the masters are inseparable from their mouths, and they are exactly the models for us to learn. ”

Speaking of this, he saw that the old man surnamed Wu who spoke before was indifferent and refused to apologize, and his childlike heart suddenly rose for a while, and said with a smile: "My wife likes music and dance since she was a child, and she has also learned piano skills for two years. After finishing speaking, he deliberately looked at everyone with high spirits, and said, "None of you are opponents, if you don't believe it, just try!"

As a musician in the teaching workshop, which person is not a veteran of the world? A few people next to him hurriedly complimented: "The adult is young and promising, and the lady is also versatile, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Lan'er pulled Ye Haotian's arm, meaning that it was just a trivial matter, otherwise he would lose his duty to be loyal.

Ye Haotian saw that the old man surnamed Wu was still silent and did not say a word, and thought in his heart that if he could not unify people's hearts, his trip to Dongying might encounter trouble, so he said unrelentingly: "To be honest, there are very few piano skills in the world that are above my wife, and I am afraid that I can't find a few ...... in the entire Central Plains."

Hearing this, Old Man Wu finally couldn't help it, and pouted: "Okay, I'll listen to it later!"

Lan'er's brows furrowed, not knowing what Ye Haotian's intentions were for doing this.

Ye Haotian continued to dance with his eyebrows: "As soon as Madame's piano music sounds, it can be said to be earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, please call all the singers and musicians, this is a rare opportunity to observe!"

Hearing this, everyone present felt unhappy in their hearts, and felt that this envoy was too arrogant.

But since the envoy has already spoken, he also brought on himself to be embarrassed. Coming with a few more people will only make the loss of face even greater.

Thinking of this, the four of them rushed forward to call people, hoping that the more people who came, the better.

After everyone went out, Lan'er frowned and said softly, "Childe, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Haotian knew that if he didn't explain, he was afraid that Lan'er would not play with his heart, so he explained with a smile: "I want you to play as hard as you can, as long as you don't hurt them with your internal strength." I've heard that Kabuki in the Wa Kingdom is not trivial, so I'd like to organize these people and put you in charge of choreographing a few good pieces so that I can compete with them. ”

After hearing this, Lan'er's frowning brows relaxed, raised her fist and gently hit Ye Haotian twice, and said with a smile: "Childe turned out to be for this." I thought you had suddenly changed your surname! Don't worry, these people are handed over to me for training, and if it really doesn't work, I will pass on the "Neon Dress and Feather Song" of the noble concubine Niangniang to them. ”

The time was not big, the ten singers and the ten musicians all arrived, and there were some boatmen and handymen behind them who wanted to follow in, but they were ordered to retreat by Ye Haotian: "This is a major event of the military aircraft, and the idle people are not allowed to peep!"

Then he ordered the people to close the hatch and lower the curtains, so that no one outside could see it if they wanted to.

And they all sat down one after another. All ten musicians looked mocking, meaning to wait to see their jokes. The ten singers all had sad faces, and their faces were sad and angry, and they didn't know what the reason was.

Lan'er took out the Fengqin in front of everyone, and smiled at everyone with a slight smile: "Masters, sisters, I am not good at practicing the piano, and the music I know is limited, so I don't know where to play it for a while, and I ask you for some advice." ”

When everyone heard her show weakness like this, the contempt on their faces became even greater.

The old man surnamed Wu raised his eyebrows and said: "I've always heard of the popular "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" in this dynasty, right? ”

Lan'er sat up straight, her hands on the strings, her beautiful eyes swept over everyone's faces, and she said slowly: "Pingsha playing method has different scores, there are seven sections, there are ten sections, and there are external tuners. I will play a song of 12 paragraphs for you, and I ask the master and sisters to correct it. After saying that, he picked his fingers lightly and began to play.

Ye Haotian listened to the sound of the piano with his ears intently, and recalled the poem of Pingsha and Falling Geese inscribed by Liu Gaizhi in the Song Dynasty. Poetry Yun, "Jiangnan and Jiangbei ** month, the reeds cut down the continent Zhuque, want to go down the wind is not melodious, the shadow falls in the cold pool three or two lines ......" while thinking about the poetry, while comparing the sound of the piano, he feels that the writing of the flat sand and falling geese is all in the time when they want to fall, the surname of the wild goose is alert, and the whole reed is invisible. The autumn evening is exhausted, the food and lodging have to fall into the flat sand, this time back to Xiang to look at the feelings, the state of the upper and lower jaws, the image of the Xiang and then the set, the god of alarm and resurrection, Jane.

At first, everyone didn't think so, and the music of the piano was endless, but they felt the melodiousness of the wind, the wings of the countryside, or swallowing, if it was close or far away, such as hearing the sounds of the sky.

Ye Haotian's eyes are constantly appearing one beautiful picture after another: when it falls, the sand is flat and the water is far away, the mind is leisurely, the friends have no guesses, the male and female have a narrative, calmly drink and peck, and live in peace; Such a beautiful scenery, the composer wrote it with God, and Lan'er played it with her hands, which is really an excellent double enjoyment.

Lan'er kept her hands and played twelve paragraphs in one breath, and finally ended quietly, quietly watching everyone.

The crowd had already heard their eyes straight, and it took a while for them to wake up and burst into deafening applause.

Ye Haotian observed everyone's demeanor intently, and found that the musicians' applause had been ringing for a long time, and the singers only applauded happily at first, but then quickly fell silent, bowing their heads one by one, not knowing what to think.

Lan'er obviously noticed this, so she didn't look at the old man surnamed Wu, and asked the ten singers directly: "Please sisters also come up with a topic, I hope it won't be too difficult." ”

The singers were silent for a long time, and finally a woman with a sad face came up with a question: "Let's play a song "Zhaojun's Resentment". ”

Lan'er was silent for a moment when she heard this, adjusted her thoughts, and slowly played the sad and haunted "Zhaojun's Resentment", which began with the scene of the moon gradually sinking in the west and the earth returning to silence, and then gradually recalled the excited and sad inner activities of Zhaojun when he came out of the jam, and then the sound of the wind and sand rolling wheels and the bumpy and tumble of the journey.

Ye Haotian listened to the sound of the qin and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and couldn't help but sing in a low voice with the sound of the qin: "Qin Diyue of the Han family, the concubine of the Flowing Shadow." Once you go to Yuguan Road, you will not return to the end of the world......"

Before the singing was finished, she suddenly saw that the ten singers were all hiding their faces in pain, and the crying was getting louder and louder, so startled that Lan'er hurriedly stopped playing and asked what was going on.

The singers fell to their knees and wept and cried, "My lord, we don't want to go to the Wako, I beg you, please don't sacrifice us to the Wako, you might as well let us jump into the sea ...... like that."

Ye Haotian was taken aback, and couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Who said that he wanted to sacrifice you to the Japanese Kou? Who made this rumor? Or did you think of it yourself?"

A singer cried and said, "People outside say so, so we can't believe it." ”

A musician let out a long sigh and said, "Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a singer to send an envoy, and if there is one, it will only be a kiss, or a woman who offers wealth and silk, and asks other countries to become friends." These women are so pitiful......"

Ye Haotian got up suddenly, his voice was like thunder, and he said categorically: "Everyone, don't worry, since I, Tian Tian, have brought you out, I will try my best to bring you back safely! Unless my wife and I are dead, it will also be a heroic martyrdom, and I will never be a thief!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, his eyes swept over everyone's faces like electricity, knowing that they were still half-convinced, so he continued to say loudly: "The country of the Japanese is a remote place, the country of projectiles, where is it worthy of us to go to make peace with our relatives?

When the women heard him tell the truth, great hope was born in their hearts, and their faces gradually soothed.

A woman asked with a suspicious face, "Your Excellency said that he was taking us on an envoy, but what can we do?"

Ye Haotian smiled slightly: "I heard that there are several so-called 'national quintessences' in the Japanese country, one of which is called 'Kabuki', which is a group of women with heavy makeup performing opera. I was afraid that they would challenge the singing skills of this dynasty, so I asked all the sisters to come and help me. Don't be presumptuous and feel that you are inferior as a singer! You are just like me, you are a member of the special envoy sent by the emperor, and you will never be sacrificed to the Japanese Kou!"

All the women cheered when they heard this, and the clouds on their faces were swept away, replaced by warblers singing and dancing, and spring was bright.

Ye Haotian waited for everyone to calm down a little before waving his hand and said with a serious expression: "Although the overall strength of the Japanese people is slightly weaker than that of my dynasty, it should not be underestimated. The purpose of our mission is to promote the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and at the same time to contain the Japanese from within. So don't take it lightly. I would like to ask you to prepare well and use the ten days to choreograph a few sets of songs and dances, do you think this is good?"

The musicians in the audience looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Ye Haotian glanced at the old man surnamed Wu, his face returned to calm, and he smiled: "Next, please continue to enjoy the qin music and see how the lady below is doing, whether it is the so-called embroidered pillow." Speaking of this, he turned his head to Lan'er and said, ""Zhaojun's Resentment" is too sad, so let's stop it. Madame might as well play the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud". ”

Lan'er immediately bowed her head slightly, and stroked the strings with both hands and played.

"Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" is composed by Guo Chuwang, a pianist of the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhejiang School. When the northern army invaded the south, Guo Chuwang moved to the vicinity of Hengshan in Hunan, and often traveled at the confluence of Xiao and Hunan rivers. The first part of the piece is lyrical and quiet, and the second part is galloping and agitated. The whole song is a famous qin song that has been highly respected by pianists of all schools since the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone here is familiar with this piece, so Lan'er's performance easily resonated with everyone. In particular, the Japanese invaders today are like the Jin Kingdom in the past, they also occupy the beautiful land of China, brutalize the people, and destroy the lives of the people, so everyone has a feeling of hatred and hatred, and feels that their mission is an incomparably glorious thing.

Such a familiar tune gushed out like a spring under Lan'er's fingers, and when she heard it, almost everyone became emotional and excited.

At the end of the song, Lao Suo, surnamed Wu, was the first to stand up, bowed deeply to Ye Haotian and Lan'er, and said with shame on his face: "Little Lao'er is dizzy, and he actually looked at the wrong generation of piano artists. There are a lot of envoys, so please forgive me. The girl's piano technique is somewhat similar to Zhuang Mengdie, one of the three famous pianos of the former Jingshi, but her cultivation seems to be higher than that of Zhuang Lao. ”

Lan'er smiled slightly and said: "Zhuang Lao is my master, my piano skills are a little different from my master, because I have received the guidance of the envoy ......" Speaking of this, she smiled and looked at Ye Haotian.

The musicians and singers present all looked at Ye Haotian in amazement, and they couldn't imagine that the envoy's piano skills were still above Mrs.

Ye Haotian hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "Don't listen to her. I can't play the piano. Now I have a proposal, please think about it and see how you can arrange more than three sets of tracks in the last few days, which is a big thing and must be done quickly. Madame, please stay here and discuss with you, I still have something to do, so I'll miss it first. After speaking, he looked at Lan'er and smiled, then nodded to everyone, turned around and went out.

When he reached the second cabin, the debaters were still talking about the river.

After an hour of debate, the focus of the dispute has been on the question of how fair trade can be done.

Ye Haotian stood outside the cabin and listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more dissatisfied he became, so he walked into the cabin and waved his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and said in an aggravated tone: "Everyone must understand that the land of China is a great place for people and treasures, and the country of Wa at this moment is a wild land to be civilized. Now it is the Japanese who ask for us, not for us to ask for each other. Therefore, I propose that the principle of trade should be in the form of trade, that is, the other side should trade in the form of tribute!"

Everyone looked at Ye Haotian with wide eyes, feeling that this kind of proposal was very novel.

Someone frowned and said: "This is inevitably unfair, and it is contrary to the spirit of Confucianism of 'treating others with generosity' and 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'." ”

Ye Haotian glared at the man and said loudly: "What is real fairness? The current situation is that the Japanese people are very eager to trade with us and learn from our country's experience and technology. But this kind of learning must come at a cost, because our technology is also the crystallization of the hard work of ordinary people, and each item has a high value. Trade agreements must therefore reflect this, i.e. exchange superficial inequality for substantive equality. ”

Someone worriedly asked, "Can the Japanese agree to this?"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "The sky is asking for a price, and you will pay it back on the ground." This is just our asking price, and we still have to fight for what kind of agreement we reach in the end. ”

Everyone had been thinking about the fair trade ordered by the emperor before, and now when they heard him say this, they were all a little excited, and some people were even gearing up.

Ye Haotian discussed with everyone for a while, and then handed over the specific agreement drafting and careful scrutiny to everyone to do, and then returned to the top cabin to take the elixir and practice.

Lan'er came back about an hour later, saying that the repertoire had already begun, and the rehearsal would be available in a day or two.

In the following ten days, the fleet has been sailing in the wind and waves and starry nights.

When Ye Haotian was free, he went to order the kung fu of Nangong Ying and Tian Lingzi from Kongtong.

The elixir tonic also needs to be gradual, especially the time to completely refine the elixir that has been taken, otherwise it will not only waste the elixir, but also be detrimental to the cultivation in the future. Therefore, Ye Hao had a lot of elixirs in the sky, and he could only raise Nangong Ying's skill to the first level of the immortal realm, and at the same time, Tian Lingzi reached the seventeenth level of the real human realm.

Ye Haotian was not very satisfied with this result. However, the two of them were already grateful to him, and felt that the speed of their skills entering the realm was unimaginable.
