Dong Chengfeng is a pure man, and being pure does not mean being stupid; in this era of cannibalism, if he had really been brainless, he would not have the family fortune he has now.
Therefore, even though he was panicked and frightened, he also knew...if he took this step right, his life would change forever.
All officials of the Ming Dynasty were isolated, even the imperial envoys were no exception. Isn't this enough to illustrate the importance of these noble envoys in front of them?
People can always have an epiphany at a certain moment in their lives. Some people are blessed by God, and they become prodigies when they land, and they make great progress all the way; some people are not very talented, and they have to go through thousands of sailings before they can achieve anything, but they are already old by then.
Yes.
Dong Chengfeng belongs to Zhong Bu Le. Or maybe it was luck that gave him this opportunity. Under the pressure of high pressure, he had an epiphany.
He must firmly grasp this opportunity. So, with full aura, confidence and stability, and deep eyes, he answered:
"Dong has some feeling..."
"It's like seeing a ray of light..."
"Coming from this light..."
"%%￥...!" At this time, there is no need for Gaza, Adina's grandson's translator, Tiaoyu, Zhou Ruoyu and others all know the meaning of the last sentence - praise balance!
At this situation, everyone's expressions changed greatly and they remained silent. Dong Chengfeng secretly gritted his teeth to keep his expression unchanged. What he said was the instructions of Mr. Zhou and Miss Si Nuo.
It’s up to him to see if he can succeed. Therefore, even though his body was weakened by panic and was on the verge of collapse, he still managed to hold on with a strong heart.
In the quiet room, the scene suddenly became strange. The envoy did not speak for a long time. People in Gaza and other Malindi people did not dare to disturb them, but they were impatient.
This man is too unusual. He can speak Malindi and knows how to balance. If there is a rumor on the ship, someone deliberately taught him this sentence in order to get close to the divine messenger... It is impossible.
The Malindi language belongs to Swahili and only exists in the three coastal cities. All the three coastal cities come to worship Ji Ji and see divine power and miracles. The envoys from the three cities on the ship all respect Ji Ji and have become devout believers, so they cannot betray them.
.
The Ming Dynasty is indeed powerful, but in front of the gods, it means nothing. Anyone with ulterior motives who wants to plot will probably be exposed as soon as possible.
Then, there is only one possibility left...
"Brother Jumping Fish..." A law monk said in a trembling voice,
"Yes, is it that one?" The other three people were also shocked, and they all focused on Dioyu, wanting to hear his judgment.
However, Tiaoyu couldn't make up his mind, so he didn't speak for a long time, causing the silence in the venue to be strange. But at this moment, a female voice sounded: "New Era Chapter of "Balance Scripture", Chapter 3, Section 4——"
"The girl named Snow Mountain Daughter was bound by evil sinners. Before her people died tragically, the world was dark;"
"The blood soaked her cheeks, and when she made a cry of supplication, she called out the holy name of Balance..."
"The balanced holy light descended, and she answered the prayers of her people, and descended on the sinful map stone valley with divine punishment of thunder."
"That girl is the first person in this world who has received the attention of our Lord and True God and has been chosen by the balance!"
"New Era Chapter of "Bible of Balance", Chapter 36..."
"The lives of a widowed mother and her daughter among foreign tribesmen in Hohokam were hanging on by a thread. The girl saw the holy light coming in her dream, and she shouted the holy name of balance;"
"His mother came back to life a few days later and was blessed with balanced glory;"
"His daughter gained wisdom and practiced law with twice the result with half the effort. Later, she became the first first-level Dzogchen monk in the Kingdom of God. She was given a surname by the true god, appointed the chief of the Temple Mountain, and entered the Supreme Elder's Hall..." Zhou Ruonan breathed out.
He recited the scriptures of "Balance Bible" and shocked everyone.
Of course Tiaoyu and others also know
There is a "chosen one", but it's just not like her who can blurt out relevant scriptures.
"The great shaman, and my master Huaien;"
"When everyone sees the light coming, they are the chosen ones."
"Except for the people of the Kingdom of God, even the people in Malindi don't know about this..."
"Whether what you say is true or false, I can confirm that you are destined to be balanced!"
"And you must know that our Lord God is watching the world, if you tarnish her name and betray the balance;"
"Then you will also be betrayed by KINO!"
"Now, I will give you guidance in the holy name of our Lord, Balance..."
"Are you willing to step out of the fog of loss, stop seeing falsehoods in a blink of an eye, and see true knowledge?"
"Listen to her instruction and obey her decrees. May her kingdom of joy come and live in her ways..."
"For her people!" When these words fell, Dong Chengfeng's mind went blank, and only his thoughts and instincts were able to extract the information elements in the words.
God, Kingdom of God, Balance...the person chosen by the God! He couldn't determine the details in this short time, but he knew that he must not miss this great opportunity.
"I, I wish, I wish!" Zhou Ruonan looked back and looked at Tiaoyu. Tiaoyu understood the idea and took the lead: "Then we can praise her name together, the only true god in the world, the Lord of Balance!"
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
"Balance exists among all things!" Everyone's voices rose up in unison, creating a low buzzing roar, sacred and solemn. This atmosphere alone calmed Dong Chengfeng's mind...
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance."
"Balance lies in..." At the moment when the ceremony was completed, Dong Chengfeng was completely unprepared, and the last breath of his strength collapsed, so that in front of everyone's eyes...boom.
Fainted and fell to the ground. Everyone was shocked, but they thought it was reasonable; how could a mortal body bear such a miracle as seeing the holy light of the gods?
Tiaoyu immediately stepped forward and checked his heartbeat, which was a basic skill in the Judgment Army. After he was sure, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be fine."
"But I'd better go and invite 'Lu Zhrang'." Lu Zhrang is the ship's medical officer, and he is also someone who has a basic understanding of medical principles and the concept of vaccination.
After several months of sailing, he and several divine envoys also practiced the law. Regardless of whether it involved medical science, they were all thirsty for knowledge, which led to a good relationship.
Squeak. The door of the quiet room opened. Zheng He and others couldn't wait to come over: "Master Envoy, what happened, do you need my help?"
"It's nothing, it's just this..." He looked at Dong Chengfeng and couldn't name him for a moment. Gaza was such a clever person, so he quickly said: "This is Brother Dong, Dong Chengfeng."
"Oh, yes, Brother Dong has fainted and needs treatment. Please ask Mr. Zheng to prepare a guest room for him to rest." Zheng He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, the identity of this person is not clear yet.
Should we handle it with caution? I'm afraid he has bad intentions..." Before he could finish speaking.
Zhou Ruoyu was already shouting carelessly: "We still don't know his identity? Let's put it this way, this person, like you, believes in Koujiang and is a believer in Koujiao."
"And, he will see a miracle..." Hiss. Hiss. Everyone gasped. When they looked at Dong Chengfeng again, their expressions had changed. Could it be that this man also experienced a fugue?
Only the Chief Secretary and officials of the Quanzhou Prefecture were confused and did not know what it meant, but they also got the general idea that it was related to the beliefs of a certain sect.
Wang Jinghong stood up at this moment, still smiling and said: "Oh, leave this matter to me. I will definitely not let Brother Dong be wronged!"
"Quick, quick, let's get some strong men to help Brother Dong go downstairs and prepare a small courtyard for him to rest."
"Where is Lu Zhirang? Let Lu Zhirang come for consultation!" After this interlude, the banquet came to an end.
At least on the top floor, Tiaoyu and others had to go back to rest, so Zheng He and others had no need to continue.
After all the envoys were settled, Zheng He and others went to the political hall again. Wang Jinghong stopped smiling and cursed: "Where is the news? Why hasn't the news been sent?"
"The details of this person must be found out, even if his ancestral grave is dug up, we will not hesitate!" A group of people saw him going crazy and were not surprised.
Everyone knows that this matter is of great importance. An unknown businessman outside the building has somehow fallen into the eyes of the divine envoy. However, all matters involving balance must be treated with caution.
And Zheng He was afraid that Wang Jinghong would really go crazy, so he comforted him by saying, "Since that man is valued by the divine messenger, we should deal with him calmly."
"Otherwise, no one can afford to blame God's messenger."
"Can't I just complain?" Wang Jinghong can fall out with anyone.
"This person is a variable and must be kept under our noses as much as possible..." Soon after, Tang Jing, who had gone to investigate earlier, returned and brought several scrolls to present: "My lords, the investigation should be accurate.
Got it." Wang Jinghong snatched it away and started looking at it for himself.
Zheng He smiled helplessly and could only learn from Tang Jing's mouth: "Say." Tang Jing said: "This person's name is Dong Chengfeng. He is from Qingxi County, Quanzhou Prefecture. He is a local tea merchant and landlord, and he is a tea-growing family."
"He has a good reputation and is a kind-hearted person. He has opened several tea shops in Quanzhou. His family is well off and he belongs to the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce."
"..." He also talked about his wife, children, and ancestors, all the information was detailed. But the problem is... From this information alone, there is no connection with Malindi and Balance.
After he finished speaking, Wang Jinghong had turned over the paper and read it several times, and finally said angrily: "This is bullshit, it's all useless information!" Tang Jing frowned and stared at the other person without showing any weakness.
Wang Jinghong curled his lips, but his expression softened... Tang Jing had a good relationship with another little angel, and he didn't want to offend him.
"Hahaha, I mean it's all the fault of the subordinates. I've always believed in Commander Tang's work." The people around him were despised, but they only dared to get angry but dared not speak out.
Tang Jing added: "I asked about what happened outside the building. I only said that a group of guests gathered around Malindi Imperial Master and wanted to talk..."
"Dong Chengfeng suddenly appeared and shouted in a foreign language, which attracted the attention of the national master."
"Later..." Everyone knows what happened after that. The only problem is...
"What did he shout?" Tang Jing shook his head: "There are many businessmen and businessmen who are proficient in the food language outside the building, but no one knows what language he speaks." At this time, Ma Huan came out and said
: "I asked about the pronunciation of the words, and it was indeed not Da Shi dialect. I suspected it was Malindi dialect."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wang Jinghong shook the paper and said: "This person has never set foot in Fujian in his life, how can he know the Malindi language?"
"If we hadn't sailed so far this time, we wouldn't have known that there were several city-states like this in the depths of the Western Ocean!"
"There has never been any news before that merchants from Malindi came to the Ming Dynasty." Zheng He said: "Perhaps people from the previous dynasty traveled overseas? For example, Wang Dayuan once visited Mugudusu." Wang Jinghong said: "Even so, why
Attracting the attention of the envoy? And saying he will see miracles?!" At this point, not only was the mystery unsolved, but it became even more confusing.
There was sudden silence in the political hall... After a long time, Zheng He said: "We will only go to inquire after this person wakes up!"
"Yeah." Wang Jinghong nodded,
"This person is just a businessman, he must not cause any waves!"... The stars have changed and it is already the next day.
Dong Chengfeng fell into sleep. He stood on the bow of the giant ship, overlooking the endless ocean. The ship was filled with gold, silver and jewelry... When the ship was about to enter the port, the dock officials and people all cheered, danced and shouted
The name "Master Dong"...
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Dong wants to build the Dong family ancestral hall to pay homage to the spirits under the spring of his ancestors, so that the incense can be passed down and last forever."
"There is a reward for everything..." He was showing off his power, but he felt pain in his cheek, as if he had been beaten.
He was about to get angry when his body suddenly shook... Wow. The beautiful scenery in front of him was completely gone. Instead, there were more than a dozen figures gathered together, and a doctor was touching his wrist to check his pulse——
“The heart fire is strong but the yin is weak, but it’s not a serious problem!”
"Listening to him talking in his sleep, he is full of qi. He should take less nourishment so that the yin and yang can be harmonious." Zheng He thanked him: "Thank you so much, Doctor Lu!"
"Oh, young man, the imperial envoy would never dare to offend me. I haven't reached the fifth rank, how can I be called a doctor?" Wang Jinghong already had a good attitude toward him: "Doctor Lu, don't be humble. You have learned the secret and wonderful method, and you will bring blessings to the Ming Dynasty."
All living beings…”
"After entering the capital, Dr. Lu will be rewarded heavily for his merits and will take up important positions in the Imperial Hospital." Lu Zhirang said a few words of humility and then withdrew.
He was respected by others only because of his vaccination technique, and the magic method was given by the gods. How could he dare to claim credit? He waited until no one else left.
Wang Jinghong was the first to come to the bed, half-smiling but not smiling: "Master Dong wants to go to the West, bring back mountains of gold and silver, and build a shrine for his ancestors?"
"Okay, my wish is grand, and Wang admires me!"
"I wonder when Mr. Dong will set off." Dong Chengfeng suddenly woke up and finally realized that everything just now was a dream, and he saw a few people in front of him... This, isn't this the imperial envoy and the Western envoy?
"Ah -" he shouted, almost rolled over and fell down. He was about to bow and bow, but because his legs were weak, he fell to his knees on the ground: "Dong Chengfeng, Qingxi County, pays homage to the imperial envoy and all your lords." Zheng He sighed.
, pushed the eccentric Wang Jinghong away, and helped Dong Chengfeng up: "Shopkeeper Dong, you should know our purpose, right? Don't panic, just confess." Dong Chengfeng was stunned...do you know the purpose?
Only then did he recall what happened last night, and then he saw that the imperial envoy was here to patrol, so... a big deal has been accomplished?! How about a confession...
"Sir, I, I don't know what to say!" Zheng He said: "Just tell me what you shouted to Imperial Master Malindi and why you know...Balance!" Dong Chengfeng's eyes trembled and his mind was wandering;
If people treat each other with courtesy, he will know that he is in an invincible position and there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou and Miss Si Nuo must not be mentioned. He still said it in those words——
"It's the voice from that glory, let me praise the balance!" After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Wang Jinghong hesitated and wanted to attack, but was stopped by Zheng He and said to Dong Chengfeng: "Okay, shopkeeper Dong, since you
If you are destined to be with Qianli and the divine envoy, then you are one of our own!"
"I will rest in Quanzhou for a few days and arrive in Beijing in a few days. I also ask you to come with us!" After that, everyone led them away.
After walking a short distance, Wang Jinghong said: "This man is obviously hiding something. I can tell what he has in mind just by looking at his eyes..."
"Isn't it just that you rely on the power of the divine envoys to not be afraid of me?"
"I think it's better to use ruthless means to make him confess everything." Zheng He glared at him and said, "Don't look any further. My true lord is watching everything in the world..."
"And he also needs to see a miracle, so it's not something we can deal with at will."
"He was just dreaming about finding overseas trade routes, so why not make his dream come true."
"How can His Majesty make an exception for a commoner like him when he bans the sea? What's more, this matter is our duty, why should we assign it to him?" Zheng He said meaningfully: "The attitude of the DPRK and China towards balance is still unknown; now there is
With a middleman, many things can be circumvented..."
"For example, if I, the Ming Dynasty, no longer travel far, it will definitely alienate the meaning of equilibrium..."
"But on the other hand, if there is an intermediary to communicate with Malindi, it can be regarded as maintaining a level of dignity!"
"Of course, the details will have to be reported to the Holy One after entering the capital!"
"If Dong Chengfeng is not stupid, he will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and help us obtain some balance and intelligence information from the divine messenger!" At this point, Wang Jinghong stopped making noises because he knew that he was not as good as Zheng He in controlling major matters.
But in the little things...
"Just follow Master Zheng's wishes!"
"But I still need to train this person carefully, otherwise how can he be of great use?!"
