Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Jifan again. Novels.

yes.

Xu Jing doesn't look reliable.

If you can't get back, how much money and food will be wasted? Thinking back then, Fang Jifan was just protecting you.

Especially Li Dongyang, he wanted to kill people and could not come back. This was like a fraud, the money and food of the Ministry of Revenue...

Fang Jifan felt a little relieved at this time.

Logically, if Xu Jing is really alive and the Scum King on Earth is not destroyed, then... Xu Jing should have arrived at the Strait of Malacca and should have returned. After all, it is just a way out, or in other words, this is a verification of a voyage. As long as the verification is passed, it is time to return.

But now, it has been nearly two years, and there is still no news at all. Could it be... something really happened?

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "I want to come..."

"Don't say that I want to come, just say yes or no." Ma Wensheng was oppressed so hard that he did not go around with Fang Jifan.

What Fang Jifan hates the most is this multiple-choice question, and there is only a and b, and there is no technical content at all.

But including Emperor Hongzhi, they all looked at themselves like wolves and tigers.

This made Fang Jifan feel that he was under great pressure.

He thought for a while: "I want to..."

"Yes or no!"

Fang Jifan said: "Yes."

“What is it?”

Fang Jifan bit his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Xu Jing is the disciple that Fang Jifan values ​​the most. Among the disciples, this person is the most reliable, so... he will definitely come back. Yes, if he doesn't come back, I'm willing to... be fined three drinks?"

“…”

Ma Wensheng's smile was a little frozen. At first, he almost laughed when he heard Fang Jifan's rumor.

But this shameless thing...he...

Emperor Hongzhi said at this time: "The ocean is vast and vast. Whoever can pat his chest to guarantee it? Wait a little longer. If Xu Jing does not return, the court will send ships to the West to inquire."

Even though he said so, the faces of the monarch and his subjects were not good-looking.

Who was so awesome and bragging about it?

It’s just that His Majesty’s final decision, and more importantly, it’s really hard to explain the matter of going to sea.

Perhaps there are countless capable ministers in the entire temple, but the sea ban for a hundred years and the deliberate indifference to the vast ocean, the entire Ming Dynasty knew nothing about the sea.

The so-called ancient books and materials of the Song and Yuan dynasties were just regarded as interesting stories by some people, and after spreading them, they were already beyond recognition.

There are only strange things like the Xu family. They have nothing to do after eating, and their grandparents have been going to search and verify the ancient books that everyone in the world is indifferent to.

Therefore... Fang Jifan thought that they were elementary school students, well... they were still the kind who had not graduated.

Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhang gently sucked the fish soup, and she moved slowly and looked dignified and generous. She put down the soup spoon, and there was still a little joy between her eyebrows: "No, it's really amazing, it's rare that thick-show is so troublesome."

Zhu Xiurong also took a sip and pursed his lips slightly: "My mother, isn't this a fish taken by Fang Jifan's students?"

"Yes." Queen Zhang just smiled: "Then you eat more."

Zhu Xiurong nodded and said, "I'm done drinking, I'm going to be a female red girl."

Queen Zhang smiled and shook her head.

Xiurong was stimulated by her brother.

Zhu Houzhao's needlework is so good. He can pinch more than a dozen needlework methods easily. The sewn clothes and the red girl were neatly crafted, and he was almost caught up with the old weaver in the palace.

Queen Zhang stared at her daughter and whispered: "It's really a girl who is too old to stay."

"Mother, what did you say?" Queen Zhang's voice was very soft, but Zhu Xiurong finally heard some movement.

Queen Zhang had a stern face: "It's nothing, eat fish soup quickly."

……………………

Batavia.

The sea area here is particularly blue.

In this wave, Xu Jing looked at this area of ​​Java from afar.

On the way back, Xu Jing deliberately detoured Java. This place was once a dive when Zheng He voyages to the West. Although it deviated from the course, Wang Xizuo was particularly familiar with this sea area in this area.

Not only that, in Batavia, Franchis has established a trade point.

Xu Jing was determined to land here.

He could not imagine why the kingdom where Wang Xizuo was able to arrive here from thousands of miles away.

When he saw the trade point, his eyes lit up.

Rather than saying that this is a trade point, it is...a settlement.

A city.

He was accompanied by Wang Xizuo and determined to land. With Wang Xizuo's mediation, the Franchise man allowed only Xu Jing to land, and the rest of the armed personnel and ships must be moored in the bay.

Here, Xu Jing saw many sea ships, which vary in size. This so-called stronghold is rather an indestructible fortress. The fortress is made of large stones, and there are obvious armed forces within the fortress. Outside the fortress, streets and countless goods are piled up along the harbor. There are almost thousands of people like Wang Xizuo. These are just merchants who live here. According to Wang Xizuo's description, there are many strongholds here, so many people will shuttle back and forth with the ship, and many large ships will follow the sea ship to Wang Xizuo's motherland and go to the west.

"The natives here are the most cunning." Wang Xizuo didn't seem to feel that there was any problem showing Xu Jing the strength of the Portuguese Kingdom. He was happy to do so because he was looking forward to his upcoming trip to the Ming Dynasty. With the introduction of Xu Jing, his dear friend, he would be much easier.

Perhaps... Given the Ming Dynasty's deep understanding of the Kingdom of Portugal, they would be willing to open a port, which would be great. They would become a great hero in the development of the Far East.

"So, it is unnecessary to deal with them, and the best way is to trap their leaders, extort their property first, and then kill their leaders, and attack them while they are unprepared. They are ignorant and different from us..."

Xu Jing just smiled. He could already master Portuguese familiarly, and even learned some French from Wang Xishu's mouth.

In Wang Xizuo's mouth, French is the western continent. All the nobles were proud to be able to use this elegant language. Wang Xizuo was obviously not aristocrat, he was an adventurer, but this did not prevent him from learning French on the road of showing off.

Then, this Portuguese with an Iberian Peninsula accent taught Xu Jing some French language with an Iberian accent. Based on Xu Jing's "integration" and he integrated some of his Wu language into this French language.

Therefore, when Xu Jing occasionally spoke French words to Wang Xizhu, Wang Xizhu could feel the taste of Luzon soup. Yes, everything inside.

Xu Jing stood under the spire of the tower and looked up at the huge lighthouse.

His face became much darker, and his skin was covered with bronze. He was no longer the white and tender scholar he had ever been.

As the pores become thicker, the whole person seems to have a new look.

He stared at the tower: "Is this a lighthouse?"

“Yes, at night, lead the way for the ship.”

Wang Xizuo continued to smile and said, "Tonight, let's rest here for a night. There are women here, many women, Iberian women, a few French women, Javanese women, and..." Wang Xizuo narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a faint look: "There are some black ones."

Xu Jing was moved, and there was an unconcealed look in his eyes. He took a deep breath. He shook his head: "I have seen it here. We need to recruit some people. What we need is Franchise people. I am willing to hire them at a high price and tell them that as long as I follow me to the Ming Dynasty, there will be not only generous treatment, but also unexpected surprises."

Along the way, Wang Xizuo had already received many hints from Xu Jing.

The Ming Dynasty was rich in all over the world and was filled with silver. Their emperor was the most hospitality and often gave generous rewards to outsiders.

In fact, the Franji people have heard of this from the local people here.

What shocked Wang Xizuo was that his elder brother had lost interest in women: "You really don't want to stay here... have a happy night?"

"No need." Xu Jing said lightly: "The Ming Dynasty is right in front of me. I only hope to see my teacher one day earlier. I have been going to sea for nearly two years, and my life and death are uncertain. My teacher is heartbroken. I just wish I could go back to my hometown immediately and let my teacher know that my Xu Jing is still alive."

I'm really looking forward to it.

Thinking of this, this man who had ridden the wind and waves couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Wang Xizuo understood.

Xu Jing's mentor has been famous for a long time. Almost every time he mentions this mentor, the great captain of the Ming Dynasty, starts to cry. Although he is usually afraid when facing storms and pirates attacks, he is ashamed and looks as usual.

"I'm also looking forward to meeting your mentor."

"By the way, and... my mentor likes seeds from various plants. Here... I think there are many seeds brought by your sailing. Dear Wang Xizuo, please help me."

"No problem, my good brother." Wang Xizuo was willing to serve Xu Jing.

After following Xu Jing wandering overseas for so long, his purpose was about to be achieved.

He will become a predecessor and enter the golden land of the Far East. When he thinks about it, he will be very excited.

In the evening, Xu Jing boarded the ship. He stood on the deck and looked at the Batavia lighthouse. At this time... the lighthouse had a raging fire and was shining!

Under the millions of stars, Xu Jing had no expression.

Mentor...I am coming back soon.

Bring back countless treasures.

There are also envoys from dozens of countries along the way.

There are countless seeds that have never been seen before.

There are also people recruited from all over the country.

I...Xu Jing...is still alive.

My teacher is very kind and kind, and I, Xu Jing, will never let you down.

The tears were already blurred. Xu Jing was snatching the side of the ship tightly, his nails on the board, and he found a faint trace.
