That night, the wind was high.

Xu Jing was too sleepy and fell asleep early.

But at midnight, suddenly, a harsh noise came from outside.

Xu Jing was so shocked that he suddenly became angry. He had only time to put on his clothes and shoes, and saw a group of sailors rushing into the tent!

Obviously something was wrong at this point in time, so Xu Jing glared at them fiercely.

The sailors seemed to be afraid, looking at Xu Jing in fear, and some even looked ashamed.

"Ambassador..." The sailors all fell to the ground.

"What's the matter!" Xu Jing said sternly, showing his majesty.

"Ambassador...we...we want to go home!" Someone said with difficulty: "We...we can't continue to move forward. When can we go home? In this vast ocean, the humble will not bear it for a day. Please order the fleet to return because we have no credit and hard work."

"I'm so kind."

"Yes, the envoy..."

Camp change!

An idea came to Xu Jing's mind.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the joys and sorrows of his soldiers and the soldiers, these soldiers would have admired him, and they would have already stabbed him with one knife.

Xu Jing's face turned pale. Even so, this was something he could not accept. He shouted, "Whose idea was it?"

Everyone was speechless.

Xu Jing said: "Is it Yang Xiong?"

Everyone shook their heads: "Commander Yang is not aware of it."

Xu Jing sneered: "You want to go back to your hometown, why don't I want to go back to my hometown? But when we have reached this point today, can we still go back?"

Everyone said, "Just give the ambassador order!"

Xu Jing said viciously: "I would rather die than give this order!"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, everyone was gone.

The mood of returning home has made them crazy. They can't hold on for a day at this sea!

So someone beat his chest and wailed, and someone gritted his teeth and said, "Amnesia, we are also human beings. We came here with the ambassador and have never let the court down. Which of us has saved half of our lives? Which one of us has suffered all the hardships? The ambassador said that we went to find the Kingdom of God for the sake of the righteousness of the country, but whoever pity us and who cares about us? Are we destined to sacrifice for the righteousness of the country? Ambassador, you forgot that you are thinking about the court and the people, but are we also the people? We want to live, even if we die, we do not want to die thousands of miles away. Our corpses should be buried beside our ancestors, not here."

The man was in tears and continued, "We all admire the ambassador. The ambassador is a good person. If we were the people of the Ming Dynasty, when we saw ambassador Yang Fan go out to sea, we also knew that ambassador was for the welfare of the people. But we are different. We do not have such righteousness as ambassador. We only seek food and clothing, only for parents, wives and children, and we can barely eat and live a full life. We have suffered the hardships we should suffer. One of the two fellow villagers who came with me died, and the other has not yet experienced a high fever. The ambassador said that we should seek the Kingdom of God, but we are all very clear about the Kingdom of God. In less than a year or two, we cannot arrive. We are not cows and horses, and we are also humans. Please give mercy to the ambassador."

This sentence made Xu Jing unable to speak for a while.

He even didn't dare to look at the people who rushed into the tent and cried. They were like themselves, with pale faces, thin skin, and thin bones, and like walking corpses.

After a while of a silence, Xu Jing clenched his fists and said, "Life like this is very hard, but we have already reached this point, we have reached this point... we have reached this point..." Tears burst out in his eyes, and then said, "My teacher ordered me to benefit the people. I have tried my best to do it. Now I have reached this point. Is it... I just returned without success? So what is the meaning of our previous voyage, the hardships we suffered in the past, and all the sufferings we suffered?"

He desperately beat a stone table in the tent that was temporarily pieced together, smashing his hands bloodied.

The sailors just crawled on the ground and cried together.

"We persevere for a while, and you should believe me, you should believe me, I Xu Jing... My Xu Jing..."

Xu Jing had his hair disheveled, and under the rising candlelight, his face was terrifying and ferocious: "I, Xu Jing, will take you home, and will definitely take you home. Tuesday, what do you think? Do you believe me?"

The sailor named Tuesday just lay on the ground and cried bitterly, not daring to agree.

"Liu Hu, you said, you are the helmsman, you are different from others, come and tell them how I took you back in the first place."

But without waiting for a response, Xu Jing retreated unconsciously, and he was also desperate, his face full of exhaustion.

He suddenly wanted to pull out the sword and cut off a few heads with the emperor's order, and then read out the ambassador's order to continue moving south.

But... how could he bear it? These people are all sharing the joys and sorrows with him.

What's more, even so, are the rest of the people really willing to obey? Are they willing to accompany themselves to the ends of the world?

His lips were stammering, his body trembled, and he thought of his mentor’s earnest teachings in his mind. He dared not forget a word, heading west, heading west...

Suddenly, he sat down depressedly and said with difficulty: "Tell me the order..."

"Who dares to take a step back!"

But at this moment, outside this big tent, a team of people came out, holding a fire, leading the way, holding a steel knife in his hand, full of murderous intent.

The one who took the lead was Zhou La.

The Zhang brothers stood behind Zhou La very smartly.

Originally, they were secretly roasting mice in the middle of the night, but after halfway through eating, they heard that the camp had changed. The Zhang brothers were so anxious that they came in a hurry with a group of trusted servants.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that there was no danger, Zhang Heling pulled Zhou La behind him. He glanced at the person in the tent with contempt and said, "Imperial Imperial!"

Imperial decree...

Xu Jing and others were all shocked.

"Everyone kneels down to receive the order. This is Your Majesty's secret order. I am Zhang Heling, the waiter of Shouning, and I have a secret order. I am on the private account of "Little Zhu Xiucai is a bad guy". Whoever dares to make a rash decision, please do it immediately!"

The sailors were all afraid. They would never expect such a change.

But then, they found that Zhang Heling didn't bring many people, so they felt relieved.

Zhang Heling quickly read out the decree and then said viciously: "Do you understand? Your Majesty ordered the fleet to reach the Golden Continent. Who dares to retreat? All the families will be killed."

So the sailors looked at Zhang Heling hesitantly.

"Of course." Zhang Heling walked behind his hands, walked for two steps, and said, "I am a relative of the royal family, the emperor of the dynasty, and my brother-in-law, but we are hidden on the boat. Do you think you are just urging you to go to the Golden Island? With such a precious body, who would like to stay with you dirty and smelly guys? Take such a risk?"

"Ha..." Among the sailors, someone sneered: "This place is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. I don't care if the king comes. What should I do? Kill them, I will find a way later..."

Zhang Yanling was startled, held his head and wanted to escape, but was immediately pulled by Zhang Heling and pulled back.

Zhang Heling looked at this unpromising brother and really wanted to kick him to death. Then, he looked at the sailors coldly and said, "Okay, come and kill me, but you idiots still want to go back at this time?"

Going back? Even if Zhang Heling dies here, he doesn't want to go back.

I have come here, how much hardship has I suffered in the past six months.

Of course, this little bit of bitterness is nothing. After all, on this boat, the food and drink are also provided by the court, so the food is difficult to swallow. It is not as delicious as porridge or the taste of potatoes. Zhang Heling has become thinner, but he is still full of hope.

Yes, hope!

He shouted: "Before you come, Your Majesty has already instructed you that you will not be able to find the Kingdom of God. All your parents, wives and children will be killed. In other words, even if you go back, you will be dead, and you will still be in vain. Haha, you can't think of it?"

The sailors looked at Zhang Heling in panic, showing an incredible look.

Zhang Heling narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't you believe it? Don't believe it, then let's see if this imperial edict is true or false."

Immediately, he threw the imperial edict on a military officer. The military officer hurriedly looked at it carefully with the imperial edict, but he couldn't see any clue.

Zhang Heling looked at them contemptuously and said, "My dignified relatives, the emperor's uncle, and the decreed Shouning Hou, are far away from home, and have a sacred order to ride the wind and waves with you. Do you think this Hou is here to have a good meal?"

Everyone raised their eyes, puzzled.

Zhang Heling slapped Zhang Yanling on the shoulder and said sternly: "I am here to find the legendary treasure! Jinshan, who have you ever heard of Jinshan?"

The panic-ridden sailors were actually bloodless. When they heard that once they could not find the Kingdom of God, they would be dead and would be killed all the families, but they saw this man coming with an imperial edict. After all, who dared to forge an imperial edict? Although everyone did not recognize Shouning Hou, the attitude and tone of this man were all with a high aura above them.

Everyone listened uneasy to the word "Kingshan".

Finally someone asked, "Please give me a message!"

If Zhang Heling hadn't been hungry for two days, the newly roasted rat hadn't eaten it. Based on his usual hot temper, he would have kicked the damn sailor away!

Zhang Heling mentioned Jinshan again, but his eyes shone: "Jinshan is a place of gold everywhere. The mountains there are made of gold, and they are inexhaustible and useless. Who can get there? Let's just say that from you, to your descendants and even thousands of generations, there will be endless wealth and honor. If you eat a hundred bowls of porridge for a meal, you can't eat it for five thousand years!"

The sailors were a little confused, and they were... it seemed a bit troublesome if they were used as a unit of measurement!

One hundred bowls a day, three hundred meals a day, three hundred days a year, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, that is, one hundred thousand bowls a year, five thousand years...
