Zhao Jia, General Xu and Hu Yanqing, and the other three were having a chat. When they talked about the Song people who had lived alone on the deserted island for several years, Zhao Jia couldn't help but feel a little interested and wanted to meet each other in person. It happened to be early at this time, and General Xu also wanted to take Zhao Jia and the others around the port, so the three of them ended the banquet.?

Zhao Jia and Hu Yanqing were also very curious about Niutou Port. They did not rush to go to the Song people who had lived alone on the island for several years. Instead, they visited Niutou Port under the leadership of General Xu.

Niutou Port is a new port and has not even officially opened to the public. Therefore, the port is not large in size and is not comparable to a large port like Guangzhou Port or Deepwater Port. The facilities on the dock are also very simple. However, this is a newly built port after all, and the throughput of ships is not large, so the scale is now enough. On the high ground behind the dock, some tall warehouses are built. The warehouses are made of cement and are very strong. In addition to storing materials, they can even be used as fortresses in wartime, and there are amazing amounts of materials, food, weapons, cloth, etc. in the warehouse.

Seeing that Niutou Port was so complete, Zhao Jia was more confident about this trip to Europe. At this time, General Xu took them to a military camp. Because the entire Niutou Port was under military control, most of the people here were soldiers in the army, so the residential area here was actually a military camp. At this time, General Xu said, "Little Prince, this is the place where the port personnel live. The Song people who have lived on the deserted island for several years also live here."

"Oh? Take me to see him!" Zhao Jia immediately spoke when she heard this. He was still very interested in this person, especially how the other party survived in a deserted island in recent years, which made him anxious to ask the other party in person.

General Xu immediately agreed when he heard this, and took Zhao Jia and Hu Yanqing to an outside of a yard on the east side of the military camp. Then he saw him knocking on the door, and he heard footsteps immediately inside. Then the door of the yard was opened, revealing a face full of vicissitudes. He saw that the other party was about fifties, with a gray head and dark skin. Except for his tall figure, the others looked no different from the natives in South China. However, the other party's eyes were very bright, with a long beard under his jaw, which looked a bit gentle and kind.

"Mr. Dong! You are still alive!" Before Zhao Jia could speak, he suddenly heard a surprise scream from behind him, and then a tall figure rushed out and hugged the other party and shouted excitedly.

"You are Gruth!" The other party was startled when he saw the person rushing over, and then shouted in surprise, but his voice was very dry and his accent was very twisted, as if he had just learned to speak.

Zhao Jia didn't expect that a guard beside him would recognize the Song people who had lived on a deserted island for several years. They seemed to be very familiar with them, which made Zhao Jia even more strange. The guard who rushed over was named Gruth. Speaking of which, Gruth was originally a knight who protected Agnes, but later after Agnes became his concubine, Gruth and the others were unwilling to leave, so they became the guards around Zhao Jia, who usually took turns on duty. Today, only Gruth and other guards protected Zhao Jia.

"Mr. Dong? I seem to have heard Agnes say this title?" Zhao Jia suddenly thought of something and said to herself, but it seemed like it was a long time ago, so he really couldn't remember what Mr. Dong was.

"Gegruth, where is the princess?" After the surprise, the middle-aged man called Mr. Dong asked again in his weird tone. In fact, he had more questions to ask Gerth. It's just that he is very difficult to speak now, so he can only choose some important and simple questions to ask.

"The princess is here, and you can see you soon!" When Gruth said this, he finally remembered that Zhao Jia and the others were still here. He turned around and spoke to Zhao Jia, "Little Prince, this is Dong Zhong, who took us out of Europe and came to the Song Dynasty from thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, when we just arrived in the waters of Tianzhu, a big storm caused us to suffer heavy losses. In order to save His Royal Highness, Mr. Dong was unfortunately caught in the strong wind and thought he had already been buried in the sea, but he didn't expect that he was still alive. If the princess knew this news, she would definitely jump up happily!"

"Dong Zhong? You are the teacher of Agnes!" Zhao Jia finally remembered that Agnes once mentioned to him that a merchant from the Song Dynasty was the first to arrive in Europe, but unfortunately was detained by the Romans. Later, he was saved by Agnes' father. This made the other party very grateful, so he took great care of Agnes.

"Little Prince?" Dong Zhong heard Gruth's name to Zhao Jia at this time, and he looked at him with a very surprised look. After all, he was just an ordinary maritime businessman before, and at most he contacted some lower-level officials, and even the magistrates rarely see him, let alone a prince.

Seeing Dong Zhong's surprised look, Gruth immediately introduced Zhao Jia's identity to him and told him the current situation of Agnes. As a result, when Dong Zhong learned that the young man in front of him was the son of King Zhao Yan of Yue, and even took Agnes as his concubine, he even had a child. This shocked him even more.

Zhao Jia also saw that Dong Zhong had a lot to say, but because he had not communicated with others for several years, his language ability deteriorated, so he couldn't say something, but it was too urgent. Therefore, he hurriedly sent someone to find Agnes. She had always been worried about Dong Zhong's death to save her. Now if he knew that Dong Zhong was still alive, he would definitely be very happy.

Gruth immediately ran to Agnes to report a message. In a short while, Agnes hurriedly ran with his son Zhao Hua's little hand. When he saw Dong Zhong in front of the door, Agnes couldn't help but whisper excitedly: "Sir!"

"Princess!" Dong Zhong also screamed excitedly when he saw Agnes. He was entrusted by Agnes' father to send her to the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was blown into the sea by the storm when he was in the Indian waters, which made him always worried about the safety of Agnes and the others. Now that he saw that Agnes was fine, he finally felt relieved.

When old friends meet, there are naturally many things to say, but Dong Zhong's language ability still needs to be restored, so it is difficult to communicate, and this is not a place to speak. At that moment, Zhao Jia invited him to his residence with Agnes, and then asked someone to prepare a banquet again. General Xu and Hu Yanqing agreed that this was related to Zhao Jia's family affairs, so he said goodbye first. So the banquet turned into a family banquet, where Zhao Jia and Agnes were invited to Dong Zhong together.

"Sir, weren't you blown away by the storm that day? And I remember that the sea area is very far away from here. How did you survive and how did you appear here?" As soon as she sat down, Agnes asked impatiently. Since the death of her father Henry IV, Dong Zhong has been playing the role of a father in her life. Therefore, she has a deep relationship with Dong Zhong, and now she has a sense of joy when the father and daughter reunite.

"I" Dong Zhong opened his mouth to explain his survival, but he couldn't say it. At this time, Zhao Jia hurriedly asked someone to bring paper and pen, so Dong Zhong simply wrote down his experience over the years.

It turned out that Dong Zhong was swept out of the ship by the storm and soon fell into the strong wind and waves. Fortunately, he grabbed a large wooden barrel, which was spared from the fate of drowning. When he tied himself to the wooden barrel, he was knocked unconscious by a huge wave. He had no idea where he was blown to. When he woke up again, he was already floating on the vast sea and could not even see a boat.

In this way, Dong Zhong drifted on the sea for four days. During these four days, he had almost no drops of water. In the end, he even wanted to drink sea water directly under extreme thirst. Although he knew that he would die faster, he did not want to endure that extreme thirst anymore.

But at this moment, Dong Zhong suddenly appeared in front of him, which finally made him feel a little eager to survive. When he drifted along the ocean current to the island, he finally found Tamsui and survived. Unfortunately, although these small islands not far away had water and animals, they were not inhabited by humans. He should be the first resident here. Fortunately, the island has abundant food, so he survived on the island. In the end, even he forgot how long he had lived on the island.

Originally, Dong Zhong thought he would live alone on the island, but just a while ago, he found that every night, the sky in the southwest of the island, that is, Niu Island, was brighter, and there was obviously a fire. Originally, the location of that small island could not be seen, so he didn't know that there was a huge island here. It was only when he saw this fire that he judged that there should be a large area of ​​6 places here. He was worried that the fire was a forest fire, but later he found some domestic garbage from the ocean currents in the southwest, such as rotten wooden boards, glass bottles, etc., and some wooden boards had Chinese characters, which made Dong Zhong finally excited because he knew that there might be Song people in the southwest.
