From the beginning of boarding, Zhu gaoxu was muttering that he was going to the big island mentioned by Fang Xing, but this is the prince of Daming!
The Lord of the state of Zhancheng, who had long collected many rules of the Ming Dynasty, remembered the last time and hurried to bring people to salute.
The king also came. He saluted and said, "I've seen your highness, father Zheng and uncle."
"Do you know me?"
Zhu gaoxu was impatient. He waved his hand even if it was finished. Fang woke up and asked Wang Bian.
The king said excitedly, "uncle, the lower official came all the way from Jiaozhi to change shifts."
Unless the garrison at Jiaozhi is new, it is rare that they do not know Fang awake.
Fang woke up, nodded and asked casually. Zheng He over there was about to announce his intention.
I don't know which old gentleman did the will. The flowers and flowers written by him made people sleepy.
——Daming is here again to see you. You should be good
After reading the will, the LORD was already a little afraid. He got up, glanced at the side behind him, woke up, and then smiled and invited the mission into the palace.
He waved and someone pulled his royal car.
The so-called imperial car is a small car pulled by two cattle. Zhu gaoxu just shook his head in the face of the invitation.
When the will was read out, someone had already got some horses to shore. Zhu gaoxu and others got on the horse. The Lord got on the ox cart and went all the way to the palace.
All the buildings we saw along the way were very small. We basically had to bow our heads to enter. After seeing the tall palace, the sense of depression finally dissipated.
After he went in and sat down, Zheng He remembered to explore the channel, so he simply exchanged greetings, and then asked someone to take the list for the Lord to see.
It's just a procedure. The Lord can't understand it. The interpretation on the side is introduced in the same way. Someone around the Lord records it on the sheepskin with chalk.
After translation, there is a banquet, mainly mutton and chicken, and the wine is loaded in jars.
Fang Xing also placed a jar of wine in front of him. Looking at the lees inside, it was clear that it was rice wine, and the wine color was turbid.
An attendant sent a thin bamboo tube. Fang Xing didn't need to teach, so he inserted the bamboo tube into the jar, and then the banquet began after the leader took a sip.
Fang Xing took a sip of wine. The wine mixed with fermented rice was quite delicious.
The cooking methods of mutton and chicken were a little out of class. Fang Xing reluctantly ate a few pieces of meat. Then he saw a plate of nuts and ate them. He felt like chestnut.
Wang Jinghong on the side whispered: "this is jackfruit's core. Xinghe can take more of it."
Fang woke up and nodded his thanks, but he didn't want to take it. He didn't know if this thing would have any side effects.
After drinking for a while, the leader of the state above chatted with Zheng He. As for Zhu gaoxu, he didn't dare to look more.
Fang Xing didn't listen until Zheng He's tone changed. He put down the bamboo tube and looked at it with the people.
"The Lord is worried. Before coming out, his majesty explained that the people's livelihood of all countries is difficult, and there are many deaths and injuries in rounding up foreign animals. It costs a lot, so from this time on, these things will stop."
The LORD said through an interpreter, "but this is the intention of the next country! Is Daming so blunt?"
This is a bit direct and has no circuitous meaning at all.
Zheng He's eyes turned and became colder and said, "Your Majesty's will has been given. Daming's intention for your country is on the ship. If the Lord likes it, it can be exchanged, but it must be gold and silver. In addition, the fleet will buy some food, which is also included."
Zhu gaoxu had finished drinking a jar of wine. Just when he felt that the hospitality here was not considerate, a servant came with a earthen pot.
When Zhu gaoxu saw him pour something into the wine jar, he thought it was wine, but when he sucked it, he found it was water.
"Business is business. If there was no Daming, Jiaozhi would have called!"
While on board, Zheng He and Fang woke up and advised Zhu gaoxu many times to pay attention to etiquette. Who would have thought that Zhu gaoxu was angry when he didn't drink happy.
Hearing this, the Lord of the country immediately panicked and hurriedly promised to trade.
Zhu gaoxu wanted to break the bamboo tube in his hand. Finally, he held it back. He saw that the city occupying officials used bamboo tubes to stir the wine jar, so he followed suit. After drinking, he couldn't help saying, "wake up and bring some good wine."
Stir the lees below. This is the second course of wine, but it is tasteless.
Fang woke up and blinked and whispered, "Your Highness, at least wait until you go back."
The host's house is a banquet. You actually dislike the bad wine and want to bring your own wine. Your face is slapping.
The interpreter on the Lord's side had told Zhu gaoxu what he said, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassed.
Fang woke with a careless appetite of jackfruit's kernel. He said, "with the Lord, the Lord will be able to change with the guest."
Daming can't lose face, so no matter how inappropriate Zhu gaoxu said, Fang Xing has to help him get back.
The Lord nodded stiffly. In the Daming mission, what he feared most was Fang Xing.
Then someone sent Daming's good wine, and the atmosphere finally warmed up again.
When everyone was drunk, Zheng He took the opportunity to finalize the details of the trade with the Lord, and then he was ready to leave.
The Lord whispered something to Zheng He, and then everyone left one after another.
After leaving the palace, Zheng He said, "it's the local corpse head who has done evil recently. Let's be careful."
Then Zheng He explained what happened to the corpse's head: a woman, a woman without pupils, will fly around her head at night, smell the feces and go away, and then the evil spirit can invade people's stomach.
"It's said that if someone moves the headless body, the head can't find the body after flying back, and the body head will die."
Fang Xing felt cold. Looking at Zhu gaoxu, he was very excited.
After returning to the arranged residence, everyone washed and rested one after another. Only Zhu gaoxu had to pull Fang to wake up together.
So the next morning when everyone saw Fang's eyes astringent and yawning, they couldn't help laughing.
Fang Xing was also very helpless. He stayed all night, not to mention the corpse head. He didn't see a fly. Zhu gaoxu slept like a dead man after his childhood, leaving him to stay dry all night.
