"Ah! Everyone is not doing business anymore?" The merchant was stunned.
The pedestrian patiently explained: "It's just not doing business for half a day. It won't be possible. Moreover, the court has already compensated everyone. Everyone doesn't have to do business and still have money to get it. I wonder how happy it is."
"I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to go east to see the fun. I heard that the fleet is coming soon." The pedestrian waved his hands and couldn't wait to walk away quickly.
The merchant hesitated for a moment and hurriedly ran up.
At this time, on the east side of the pier, there were bustling crowds of people laughing and laughing, staring at the calm sea in the distance with anticipation.
"I heard that the old prince went out to sea this time, too. The old prince is in his forties, and he actually ran out to sea from afar."
"You don't know that the old prince is most interested in seeking immortals and worshiping Buddhas on weekdays. A few years ago, he has been talking about going out to sea to find the fairy mountain. If His Majesty and the Empress Dowager hadn't refused sternly, the old prince might have run away long ago!
Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, how can he not go out?"
"I heard from my neighbor's cousin's aunt that the old prince is representing our grandfather's face. The imperial court went to sea this time to show our power and seek foreign treasures. The old prince is a mascot.
Of course we have to go together.”
"This time the court has invested a lot. So many people have gone to sea for more than a year. It's a blessing for the court to be rich and powerful. Otherwise, how could they return safely?"
"That's right, the court is very concerned!"
Jiang Hexi stood on the flat ground, listening to the murmurs of the people with great interest.
"Xi'er, why don't you enter the palace today? Instead, you're here first." Narentoya leaned against Jiang Hexi's ear and said in a low voice.
Jiang Hexi lowered his voice and said, "There are so many people in the palace banquet, what can you see clearly? The view here is wider. You can see whatever you want."
Narentoya subconsciously looked at this place with a great vision. When she remembered Jiang Hexi specifically asked Huo Jingchen about the good location she was coming, she couldn't help but smile helplessly, "You, I'm worried about the marquis now, and you will only bully him in the future.
”
"I'm not so savage. I'm a reasonable person, okay?" Jiang Hexi was dissatisfied and hummed: "Why are you turning your arms out now? Have you been with Jinghe for a long time? Now you're all partial.
They are there."
As he said that, Jiang Hexi poked Narentoya's arm and smiled and looked meaningful.
Narentoya's face froze, she opened her eyes uneasy, lowered her eyes and said softly: "The fleet is back, look."
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi quickly turned around and looked, and indeed saw a majestic big ship slowly rising from the shimmering sea, followed by a fleet of ships.
I saw a dragon and phoenix-danced flag hanging high on the side of the sails. The sea breeze whizzed by, the flags swayed, and the waves rolled.
"The fleet is back!"
"What a big ship!"
"Look, there is a different ship on it."
Jiang Hexi squinted his eyes and looked over. Sure enough, he saw several large ships with different styles from Dasheng ships, thinking that this should be ships from other countries.
When I turned around, I saw a tall man in black. Looking closely, it was indeed Huo Jingchen.
Speaking of which, Jiang Hexi rarely sees Huo Jingchen like this. His face is calm, his eyes are firm, and his waist is equipped with a sword. His whole body is full of energy, as if a sharp knife shows a slightly dazzling light.
Jiang Hexi couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the handsome man without blinking.
Perhaps because of the feeling, Huo Jingchen suddenly turned around and suddenly met Jiang Hexi's eyes. The corners of his mouth subconsciously raised and nodded almost invisibly.
Jiang Hexi lowered his head and smiled, and simply waved at him openly. Above his smiling face was a pair of bright apricot eyes.
Huo Jingchen's eyebrows and eyes bent, and he turned around and stopped looking at her, so as not to be distracted again.
In a blink of an eye, the fleet gradually landed on the dock.
The first person to come out was a gorgeously dressed and energetic man.
I saw him strode towards Huo Jingchen, patted his shoulder suddenly, and laughed, "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you are now Marquis of Weiyuan, congratulations!"
"It is worthy of being the son taught by Huo Tingzheng. He defeated Beidi and promoted our country's power. It is indeed amazing! He has the style of your father back then, hahahaha."
"Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as beautiful as you are." Huo Jingchen smiled slightly, nodded slightly to Song Ziting who was coming to his face behind, and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, Ziting."
"What's so hard for this? It's all official business. The most difficult thing is the prince." Song Ziting raised his eyebrows and bowed to the old prince seriously. "The prince has worked hard for a long time, and I am grateful to you in my heart.
When you return safely on the road, you will rely more on the prince's talent and quick thinking to turn bad luck into good luck."
The old prince stroked his beard and smiled and said, "You kid can really speak. I will definitely say a few good words to you in front of His Majesty. You have worked hard along the way."
At this time, several officials and businessmen from the Ministry of Rites came over with seven or eight blond men.
Song Ziting hurriedly introduced: "This is Prince James of the Saxon Kingdom, and the rest are Saxon ministers. This time, they came to Dasheng to discuss business."
A businessman said something to James and others.
Song Ziting explained: "This is Tao Qing, a cloth merchant from Lingnan. He is good at speaking. This time he went to sea, thanks to him for communicating with us."
Tao Qing hurriedly gave a big gift to Huo Jingchen, "Marty, this Prince James said that he yearned for the prosperous and prosperous country. Today he was very moved by the crowd who welcomed the dock. Thank you for the people who welcomed you through the road. I hope to go to Da.
Shengyouhao trades, I hope the Marquis will consider it carefully.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingchen's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that this yellow-haired man was so narcissistic. He actually thought that these people came here to welcome him.
But he wouldn't tell the truth. It would be better to make the so-called prince happy and show their style as a country of great etiquette.
So Huo Jingchen smiled slightly and shook hands with Prince James proudly.
"Good, how come they look like the ox-headed and horse-faced under the command of the King of Hell." A woman exclaimed, covered her mouth, and looked at the blonde and blue-eyed foreign country not far away in shock.
people.
The man next to him seemed to be frightened, widened his eyes and murmured to himself: "These people are so weird, and it's thanks to Weiyuan Hou that he doesn't dislike him."
The other people were also talking. If the people from the Ministry of War had stopped them, they would have hoped that they would have rushed over and watched them well.
But in the eyes of James and others, they thought that the people of Dasheng were welcoming them, and they unconsciously felt a little proud on their faces, and said a few words to Tao Qing with a happy smile.
Tao Qing twitched his eyelids, and he didn't want to tell them the truth. He translated his words without changing his face.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingchen and others were silent, but they tacitly did not expose this beautiful misunderstanding and agreed with a smile.
Not far away, Narentoya looked at the calm Huo Jingchen and others in shock, and a sense of admiration arose in her heart. She deserves to be a high-ranking official, and she can only hold on to her face, "Xi'er, they are not afraid.
Is these people really strange to be in their lives.”
Jiang Hexi naturally heard gossip from the people, but she had seen so many of them before that she would not find it strange. She patiently explained: "It's okay, they just look different from us. They are all in a long distance.
As for dark people, we live in different places and their appearance will change."
"Look at you, aren't your eyes much deeper than me? This is because we come from different places, but we are all human beings after all, and there is actually not much difference."
Narentoya fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he focused, "Xi'er, you're right, I'm narrow-minded."
Jiang Hexi looked at James and the others thinking. Although what James and Tao Qing said was different from modern English, she could roughly understand it.
It turned out that they came here to do business.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hexi touched his chin, and his eyes flashed.
Maybe she can get a piece of the pie. Don’t these Westerners like silk and porcelain the most? They have these things in Yun Nixuan and Linlang Pavilion!
Hehe, it should be the time for her to slaughter people. If you don’t make money, you won’t make money!
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Since the envoy has arrived, let's go to the palace first. Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Please follow me to the palace for a banquet."
"Okay, let's go to the palace first!" The old prince smiled and walked onto the carriage with great strides.
"Prince, please." Song Ziting smiled politely at James and walked with a few people to the gorgeous carriage that had been prepared.
When James and others saw the magnificent carriage, they were amazed and shocked. They discussed each other and said several words to Tao Qing.
James' eyes were even brighter and he became more determined to cooperate with Dasheng. If he brought these treasures back to Saxon and took over Dasheng's trade route, he would definitely be his future throne!
Thinking of his half-brother who was far away from Saxon, who had fought with him since childhood, James clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly.
Tao Qing said, "Mr. Song, the envoy said that this carriage is as beautiful as God, the divine carriage driven by their Buddha. They admire it very much, and Dasheng is really rich."
Upon hearing this, Song Ziting's mouth twitched, and his heart became more and more contemptuous of these pastoral blokes who had never seen the world. He still remembered that at first he didn't believe that this person was actually a prince. He was so shabby, so he was really not a liar?
After visiting Western countries, he found that James was actually a prince of a powerful country in their place. It turned out that they were not too poor, but that Dasheng was too rich.
