Chapter 650: The only death through the ages, the only one to survive, the true hero to survive in death

Since Ningbo City tried to open the sea ban, this Ningbo Mansion has naturally become a lively place in the south of the Yangtze River. Every winter, a large number of merchants gather here, waiting for the right trade winds to go to sea; And every summer, many ships sail back. When they went, they were loaded with porcelain, silk, etc., and when they came back, they were mostly piggybacking on spices and gemstones, and the ballast was different. Most of those who went to the West chose wood from the same Western islands as Zheng He's fleet, while those who went to the East liked all kinds of bronze ware, and even all kinds of copper coins from the Song Dynasty.

It's the end of October, so it's a good time to go to sea. For veterans of sea charts, this is naturally a time to sail out to sea. Due to the large number of sea vessels, many businessmen set off in advance these days, and after docking at several ports in Fujian for supplies, they are once again in full swing Yang Fan went south, so the wharf is lively all day long.

One of the most important reasons is that no one knows when the sea ban will be imposed again, and seizing the opportunity to earn a vote is a vote.

Near noon, a fully loaded six-masted galleon slowly sailed away from a small pier in Fujian. The whole ship was built by old Fujian shipbuilders at no cost, using the best materials and employing skilled shipwrights and sailors. Boss Xiang at the helm was a famous smuggler under the Yang family in the past, but he was frightened by the last time the imperial court eliminated the widows, so he simply withdrew. It's just that I'm not used to staying on land for the past two years, so I heard that someone offered a high price, so I ran over.

Although he was accustomed to eating black in the past, he was very greedy for this ship's cargo, but the guards who accompanied the owner of the ship surprised him greatly. These people were all big men with big shoulders and round waists, and they walked and spoke with a bit of the atmosphere of the army, and the people in the distance deliberately hinted that there were many people behind the shipowner, so he did not dare to underestimate that one, and when he only gossiped with the shipwrights and sailors, he would still quietly call a few lame, as if this was the only way to show the majesty of the past.

In this way, the ship sailed slowly on the sea for several days. Near noon that day, Boss Xiang personally led people to deliver food to the cabin. As soon as he entered, he heard the lame man arguing with the other two men about a picture, and he stood and listened for a while, and when he found that he did not understand, he glanced at the only young girl in the room, and then retreated. Noticing that there was another door in the cabin that was tightly locked with an iron lock, he raised an eyebrow before shrugging his shoulders and exiting.

When the first to leave Ningbo, the people of the city shipping department just got on the ship and looked at it casually, without careful inspection, which shows that it could not be prohibited private goods. Even if someone is really abducted, it doesn't matter to him. It was a common practice for the owner of the ship to sail for a while to throw the men into the sea, and he had seen more than one or two of them when he was at sea.

In the locked cabin of the ship, a man sat blankly. When he first found out that he had been kidnapped, Fang Rui was very restless, only worried that others were trying to pry something out of his mouth, and when he was gagged and constantly transferred by car and boat, he gradually changed his initial understanding. No matter who the other party is, it is easy to find a secret place to torture him, and it will never be so troublesome. However, after the ship docked and set sail again, no one else strangled his mouth with a strip of cloth, nor did he plug his ears with cotton, and he could hear everything around him clearly.

This turned out to be at sea! This turned out to be a ship bound for the Western Ocean!

The discussion of the people outside gradually became thin and thin, and finally disappeared completely. Immediately after, he heard a rustling sound coming from the door, and then the closed door slowly opened. Remembering that unless he was locked up before, everyone who saw people was blindfolded with a black cloth, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and when he saw the person who came in on crutches, he suddenly gasped and suddenly understood his situation.

Others may not know Liu Da, but at that time he was by the side of Zhu Zhantan, the prince of the Han Dynasty, even if he didn't have much trust, he also knew Zhang Yue's actions in Qingzhou, and he had seen the craftsmen's plows in Zihedian Village. However, he didn't expect that this middle-aged man, who could barely walk on his own, was now full of red light, and if he wasn't still limping, he would almost not recognize this as the person back then.

Liu Da has not worried about food or clothing over the years, and his mind has been spent on the things he loves the most, which is naturally comfortable, and the whole person seems to be ten years younger and looks energetic. After looking at Fang Rui carefully for a while, he smiled and said, "It seems that Fang Gongzi recognizes me." That's fine, it saves me a lot of tongue. You should know who got you here by now, and there is another sentence for me to bring to you - well, the agency is too clever and has cost Qingqing's life. ”

Hearing this, Fang Rui's face suddenly changed greatly, and he snorted angrily: "Why is he so conceited? In the past, the emperor seized the world in this way, but how do you know that His Royal Highness the King of Han is not the second emperor? ”

These words were already extremely rebellious, but Liu Da's face only changed slightly, and then he took two steps forward with a cane, sat down on a wooden box, and called to the outside: "Xi'er, don't eavesdrop outside, if you want to listen, come in generously!" It's been so many years, you just can't get rid of this problem! ”

Seeing someone coming in at the door, Fang Rui couldn't help but be a little vigilant, and when he found that it was a woman wearing a red brocade cardigan, a smoky gray Hangzhou silk skirt, and a silver hairpin with emerald patterns on her head, neatly and prettyly, he felt a little at ease. It's just that, even though he knows that even if he goes back at this time, everything will be over, and his strong personality still makes him unwilling to suffer verbally.

"If you want to send the letter back, then please tell Zhang Yue that he will not win all the time, the feng shui in this world is always in turn, and luck will not always be on his side!"

Xi'er overheard a few words outside, and when she heard Fang Rui's disrespectful remarks, she was immediately annoyed, and immediately sneered: "Fang Gongzi is blowing nonsense, and he still thinks that he can't fight others because of bad luck?" Even if you were really unlucky in the past, who said that grasping luck is not a skill? Losing is losing, there's nothing else to say, what's the matter with making excuses for yourself! What do you say about that Han King, I am from Qingzhou, but I don't think he is eloquent! Besides, now that the new monarchs have ascended the throne, what else can the King of Han do? ”

She has followed Liu Da to take care of a lot of things for him in the past few years, and the two have always been father and daughter. Although she has seen a lot of the market and met a few good men, she has always been Yun Ying unmarried. Those intentions of climbing high branches have now been pressed in her heart, and she just blindly admonishes herself to be cautious and say few words in front of people, but now she has returned to her original bold and pungent nature.

"Besides, if you want to learn from the first emperor, you can't just learn a skin, what's the use of just learning the anger of the first emperor, in the past 20 years, I haven't seen the king of Han win a battle, nor have I seen any famous generals under his command, let alone the emperor praised him, but he blamed him vigorously, and almost even the prince was lost. Just talking about the people of Shandong, who respects him in their hearts? ”

"Okay, okay, Xi'er, you don't have to say a word! Bring in those foods outside, so that Fang Gongzi can use some! For so many years, it was the first time for Liu Da to hear Xi'er speak so bluntly, so he quickly interrupted her, gave another command, and then turned to Fang Rui, "Fang Gongzi, I don't understand those big things outside, and I don't want to argue with you about any big truths." I just want to say that since Xiao Zhang did this, it means that he has the corresponding confidence. Over the years, he really hasn't missed it. This gaze is confined to one place all day long, it is too short-sighted, since you have gone to sea, then take a good look at the sea and the sky! ”

Fang Rui was just stunned by Xi'er's words, but as soon as such a peaceful and convincing words entered his ears, his face gradually changed. Indeed, it has been many times, and Zhang Yue is always the winner in the end. Being able to master luck is also a kind of ability, which is actually true, but it is always him who does not believe that he is wrong......

"Hey, it's time to eat!"

Xi'er, who came in with a boxwood strip plate, walked in angrily, put the rice bowl and vegetable bowl on the wooden box next to Fang Rui, and said coldly: "Don't play any tricks, our ships are all well-trained guards, and even those shipwrights and sailors will not listen to your nonsense." On this boat, you can live well as long as you keep to yourself, and it is easy to seek death, jump directly from that window and you will be a hundred, although you can see the shore here, but you don't want to be able to swim back......"

Liu Da, who originally wanted to persuade a few more words, heard that Xi'er was still so ruthless, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only step forward and pull the person out and cover the door again. Fang Rui, who was left here alone, didn't touch the food, just stared at the window of the boat that could only allow one person to enter and exit.

When he was first locked here, he used to look out of the window, and at that time he thought about asking for help, but he didn't think about seeking death. For so many years, no matter how difficult it was, he never thought of a dead word. The only death through the ages is difficult, it is better to die than to live, if his life is gone, what else can he do?

The sea is calm and the sky is wide and the sky is wide, and the grassland in winter is also high and wide, but the large areas of grassland are already covered with snow. The season of autumn high horse fat has passed, and now it is a slaughtering winter, which is overwhelming wind and snow and unstoppable cold. For both large and small tribes, this means a season of life and death tests.

"Lord Wan, the Venerable King of Shunning wants you to stay for a while."

A tall man in a brown-red Mongolian robe bent down deeply, with an unchanged smile on his face: "The two leaders you want to see are already on their way here, you don't need to take the wrong road again." Besides, it's the season of heavy snowstorms on the grassland, and your subordinates are not familiar with life, so it's better to wait here. ”

Since he arrived in the Ross Department, Wanshijie has spent most of his time dealing with this man, and has only seen one dejoy. In that hurried meeting, he was keenly aware of the murderous aura on the other party, and he had already guessed in his heart. At this time, hearing that the man was still blindly procrastinating, he frowned, and immediately said bluntly: "In this case, I want to meet King Shunning." ”

"King Shunning is sick." The man's face froze, and then he said politely, "As long as King Shunning improves, I will definitely take you to see him immediately, and now I ask Lord Wan to wait a few more days." ”

Seeing that this person walked out of the tent without looking back after speaking, Wan Shijie only felt a rush of anger to his brain, and he couldn't wait to step forward and pull the person back for careful interrogation. However, the thought that he was now under the noses of others immediately threw away these annoyances, sat down and thought carefully.

The three parts of Warat are known as the same qi and branches, but there has always been a lot of discord between the three departments, not to mention that according to what they have seen and heard along the way, the ambition of Dehuan is obvious. However, if Tuhuan is not here, then is he fighting the Tatars, or does he want to take advantage of the current opportunity to unify the three Warat tribes first, and then plan for the rest?

At this moment, the thick curtain was suddenly lifted, and a gust of wind suddenly swept in, and Wanshijie, who was caught off guard, was choked by this cold wind, and couldn't help but sneeze several times. When he saw the man at the door, he was full of anger and changed his face. He is not like Zhang Yue, this is the first time that Ping Su has traveled with a eunuch, and he is also a eunuch who looks like a stuffy gourd. Therefore, when he saw this guy coming in, he couldn't help but be extremely strange.

"What does Grandpa Cheng have to advise?"

Since he was sent out, Cheng Jiu knew that he was almost finished. Sending an envoy to Warat is completely different from going out to patrol the Xuanfu, and Lu Feng still has Zhang Qian as a backup in the Beijing division at that time, but he has nothing. Therefore, he rarely spoke along the way, but he kept watching for all kinds of signs, hoping to return safely. The envoys of the imperial court are mainly lieutenants, but this time, I am afraid that the one he can command is the little eunuch who was singled out to follow him.

"Do you want to go back in style, or do you want to die after you go back?"

This is a very nonsense sentence, so even Wan Shijie, who usually likes to joke very much, did not answer the conversation easily this time, but after staring at Cheng Jiu carefully for a while, he lightly spit out five words: "You are nonsense!" ”

"Tuohuan is not here. He was negotiating with the virtuous king Taiping and the king of Anle, Bald Polo, and instigated the two to send troops to Arutai together, and it took me a great deal to ask about it. Cheng Jiu's face was a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Tuhuan is now sending someone to drag us down, it should be to delay time, and when the overall situation has been decided, then send an envoy to go back with us to negotiate conditions with the imperial court." ”

Hearing this, Wan Shijie was stunned for a moment: "Then what else do you say about life?" Do you want to curse yourself? ”

"However, Tuohuan may want to kill our envoys. In the future, when Arutai is defeated, he will blame the other two people, and he wants to dominate the whole of Mongolia......"

"Stupid words!" Wan Shijie interrupted Cheng Jiu's words angrily without thinking about it, and clapped his hands again and stood up, "This kind of thing is killing people and causing trouble, and Tuhuan naturally does not do less, but if you want to get rid of the leaders of those two departments, he will only do it himself, because if the imperial court sends troops, in addition to the strength of the other two departments, it will completely break with him, and he can only drink a few mouthfuls of soup at most!" Father-in-law Cheng, you have been immersed in intrigue for too long! Where is he delaying time to deal with what Arutai, that is the smoke released by the people, and the first thing to do now is to unify the three parts of Warat! ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Cheng Jiu, who was stunned, opened the tent and walked straight out. Seeing a burly figure walking around in the snow, he called out. When the man hurriedly came over, he instructed in a deep voice: "Shi Heng, you inform the others, be vigilant these days." Don't you often wrestle with those Mongols? Try to find out what happened to King Virtuous and King Anle! ”

Shi Heng has been following the words of Wanshijie these days and mixing with those Mongolian men, and has won the respect of many people with his strength and ability, but at this time he was confused: "My lord, then why don't we try to return to Beijing?" ”

"It's hard to go back at this time, besides, in this vast prairie, it's a dead word to flee rashly, it's better to think of other ways! He wants to detain us, and we have to try to put him together! ”
