Chapter 506: The King's Illness
Chapter 506: The King's Illness.
The enthusiasm of the people of Champa was still very high, and they did not seem to know that their king was sick.
Maybe they know, they just don't care.
Many of the people on the ship led by Zheng He had already disembarked to do business and exchange things, and after Ye Xing and the others had played the interesting and interesting places in Zhancheng, it was already dusk in the evening.
At this time, the sky was the most beautiful, but it was late autumn, and the wind was unusually cold, so the few of them decided to find a tavern to drink and chat, and then go back to the boat to rest.
Taverns seem to be available everywhere, and Champa is no exception, and the wine here in Champa is the wine that Ye Xing and the others have never drunk, and the wine is not very strong, and the feeling in the mouth is very soft.
At the wine table, Di Xiaojie was a little angry: "This king of Zhancheng is really good at putting on a show, and he didn't even meet us when we came, obviously he didn't take us seriously!" ”
Xu Ruoxuan also echoed: "According to etiquette, the king of Champa should indeed come to see us, and if he does this, he will lose his identity as a king." ”
Seeing the two of them like this, Zheng He had to comfort him: "Maybe the king of Champa is really sick, so it's inconvenient to see us, let's wait!" ”
The wine table was supposed to be a happy place, Ye Xing didn't want them to feel uncomfortable about the matter of the king of Zhancheng, so he smiled and said, "Everyone drinks, this matter will be settled sooner or later." ”
Ye Xing and the others were drinking, and at the adjacent table, there were two businessmen-like people who were talking in a whisper, and their voices were very small, but they were still heard by Ye Xing.
"Have you heard, Vietnam is going to attack us again, and they are still not satisfied after they occupied our two states of Zhandong and Gulei a few years ago!"
The other sighed: "There's no way, who makes us not as strong as them, I think it's better for us to move our business to a safe place before the war starts!" ”
"Why do you transfer him, war is also a good opportunity to generate wealth, we have to do business in the war......"
The two men ate and talked, and listened to what they talked about as if they were about to make a fortune.
It's just that this news reached Ye Xing's ears, but they had the same idea.
"I think this king of Champa is sick or not, and my heart is worried and scared!"
After Ye Xing drank a glass of wine, he said to Di Xiaojie and the others.
Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan glanced at each other and nodded.
Then, Ye Xing looked at Zheng He: "Brother Zheng, now that we know the pathogen of King Champong, we naturally have a way to relieve this disease." ”
Zheng He nodded again and again, but there was a faint look of worry on his face, Di Xiaoxin saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zheng, are you not feeling well?" ”
Zheng He didn't expect Di Xiaoxin to see the problem from his face, but he just shook his head: "No, I just think that there is going to be a war between this Champa and Vietnam, and we are caught in the middle, I'm afraid it's a little bad." ”
Everyone was puzzled at first, but soon understood.
War is a matter between two countries, and if other countries get involved, it will inevitably attract unnecessary trouble and resentment.
Now that they are in Champang, if Vietnam thinks that they are here to help Champa because of this matter, then there will probably be a gap between them and Vietnam that is difficult to explain.
After a long time, Ye Xing said: "This is indeed a difficult thing to do, war is not what we want to see, but we have no way to avoid it, now that we are in Champa, I think we still see the king of Champa first, and other things will be talked about after meeting the king of Champong." ”
There's no better way, and so do they.
After they returned to the ship, many of the crew members were talking about what they had seen and heard today, and some were talking about what they had sold and bought today.
It's just that Ye Xing knows that he is in the story, everyone's life is a story, and the story goes from birth to death, and it is even possible to continue to tell it.
The next day, Zheng and a few of them went to see the king of Champa again, this time Ye Xing and they did not wait for a long time, and they were soon summoned, the king of Champa is a middle-aged man in his thirties, thinking that he has just become the king not long ago, there is a shallow sorrow between his eyebrows, but he wants to hide this sorrow.
After he gave up his seat to Zheng He and a few of them, he muttered for a while in a language that Ye Xing couldn't hear at all, Ye Xing didn't understand a little, at this time, an interpreter stood up and said: "My king Zhanba's Lai said that I couldn't see a few people yesterday because of illness, I really can't help it, I am very happy to summon your king today, but the king has a request, that is, I want you to leave Zhancheng today." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Zheng He hurriedly stood up: "If you want us to leave Zhancheng, I don't know if there is any reason?" ”
Zheng He felt that leaving as soon as they came would make people from the outside world think that they were afraid of Zhancheng or did something bad in Zhancheng and did not dare to stay for a long time, so they left in a hurry, and Zheng He could not bear such an insult.
After Lai of Zhanpa, the king of Zhancheng, understood what Zheng He meant, he hurriedly said: "Envoy of the Ming Dynasty, you misunderstood, I asked you to leave Zhancheng because we are going to have a war here, and I don't want to affect you." ”
After the translator finished explaining, Ye Xing took a step forward and smiled faintly: "We have heard a little about your war with Vietnam, but I don't know why you have a war?" ”
Lai of Champa, the king of Champa, sighed and said: "Vietnam is adjacent to my Champa, the land area is not very large, in order to expand the territory we have had several wars, this is also a matter of no way, now Vietnam is much stronger than my Champa, so from time to time to burn the border, only a few years ago to capture our Zhandong, Gulei two states, but I didn't expect that now they are coming to attack us." ”
After Champa finished speaking, he sighed again.
Ye Xing and Zheng He glanced at each other, and finally Zheng He said: "Since Vietnam has bullied you so much, our Ming Dynasty naturally can't sit idly by, and we have decided to stay here to help you resist the invasion of Vietnam." ”
Zheng He's words made the king of Champa very excited, because he knew very well the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and with their help, it was easy for Champa to turn defeat into victory, and his people would be saved.
For a while, the whole palace cheered, and they surrounded Zheng He and Ye Xing, jumping and laughing, as if Zheng He was the god of their city.
