Chapter 273
The merchant ship first arrived at the Sulu country, and then stopped at the port to rest and replenish food and fresh water.

Jin Ying and the others got off the boat and saw all kinds of food on the bustling market, especially the dazzling and unknown fruits, their eyes were straightened.

These days, on that deserted island where birds don't shit, they can only eat raw fish to survive.

Now when he smelled the smell of fish, he felt like throwing up immediately.

These fruits are naturally ripe, and there is a fragrance from a distance.

Jin Ying rushed over, picked up a big yellow mango, smelled the tangy aroma, and bit it down!

Nourishes...

The mango is juicy and very sweet.

Hanlin Tang Xiaozhong originally planned to be reserved, but smelling the aroma of the juice, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up one and started chewing.

Everyone had a good time in front of the fruit stand, the price is not expensive, a mango is only one penny, and smaller ones cost two or three pennies.

Tang Xiaozhong caressed his chubby belly and sighed: "In this small country, it is really strange that we can still use the copper coins of our dynasty! If such a low price can be brought back to the capital, wouldn't it be a big profit?"

Jin Ying gave him a white look, and said, "Have you ever eaten fruit, Scholar Tang? If this stuff is hungry and brought back to the capital, it will probably stink long ago!"

Tang Xiaozhong smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Jin Ying was about to find a place to stay and have a good night's rest, but she heard a sudden commotion in front of her, as if some important person had come.

Looking back, the four knights opened the way ahead, driving away the vendors along the street and making way for them.

At this time, Jin Ying and the others happened to be walking in the middle of the road, and a knight swearing and whipped up with a whip.

Snapped!
The whip hit Jin Ying's face, leaving a bloodstain as thick as a thumb.

Jin Ying was stunned for three seconds, and then roared like crazy: "Kill him!"

The eunuch who was following behind him immediately rushed forward when he saw his godfather being humiliated.

The four knights on the other side didn't know that they had caused trouble, so they raised their whips and shouted.

However, on Jin Ying's side, there were dozens of young and strong boatmen, and even guards with knives. They rushed forward, foamed at the mouth of the beating man, and passed out.

The other three also had bruised noses and swollen faces, lying on the ground begging for mercy.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers came from behind, and when they saw someone committing a crime in the street, they hurried forward to stop it.

The people on Jinying's side walk sideways in the capital on weekdays, so how could they be afraid of the officers and soldiers of these small foreign countries.

When the two sides confronted each other, some of the officers and soldiers could understand Chinese, and only then did they know that the assailants were from Daming.

The officer leading the team murmured with his subordinates, and then the man who knew Chinese came forward and asked what the purpose of these people came to Sula.

After negotiating, the other party knew that it was Daming's fleet sailing to the west, which encountered a storm, and then boarded a merchant ship from Luzon, passing by here just to rest.

The officer's expression became respectful, and he stepped forward and said, "Please invite the distinguished guests from the Celestial Dynasty to enter the city!"

Seeing the change in the attitude of these people, Jin Ying was a little puzzled, and whispered: "Could it be that you are luring me into the city and plotting something wrong?"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaozhong laughed, then brushed his chin and long beard, and said: "Eunuch Jin doesn't know something, this Sula Kingdom and my Ming Dynasty have quite a relationship!"

Jin Ying glared at him dissatisfied, and said, "Just say what you know, don't keep it!"

Tang Xiaozhong failed to show off, so he had to say: "In the 15th year of Yongle, the king of the east of his country, Batu Gebahara, the king of the west, Mahala, and the wife of Dongwang, Badu Gebalab, led their family leaders Fan 340. The rest of them floated across the sea to pay tribute, bringing in engraved gold inscriptions, offering pearls, precious stones, tortoise shells and other things..."

"Can you talk nicely?"

How could Jin Ying understand such polite words, her face was full of impatience.

Tang Xiaozhong suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "That is to say, in the Yongle Dynasty, King Sulu brought more than [-] members of his family to our court to pay tribute. On the way back to China, he passed through Shandong and died of serious illness. But this man Before he died, he left his last words. After his death, the remains were not returned to the country, but were buried in Daming. Go down to guard the tomb."

"Oh, you said that earlier, I already understood!"

It was only then that Jin Ying realized that the friendship between Su Lu Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty was very deep. It seemed that the officer invited him to the city not to murder, but to treat each other with courtesy.

That's great, we are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and when we come to these foreign countries, of course we have to shake our prestige.

"Go and ask them, why did those riders beat them up as soon as they came up?"

Tang Xiaozhong went forward to negotiate, and then came back and said: "It is said that King Champa has arrived here, and these four knights are the guards of King Champa!"

"King Champa?"

Jin Ying frowned. Although he is from Annan, he came to Daming when he was a child. He has forgotten all about his hometown. He only knows about Champa, Annan, Luzon, Sulu and other Nanyang island countries. They are all vassal states of Ming Dynasty, and the others are not clear.

However, according to his current status, he is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not inferior to a Champa King.

I think back when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, the accompanying troops could destroy a country casually.

Those kings must be polite and respectful when they meet people.

Although I didn't bring many people with me, but with my identity here, it stands to reason that King Sulu would have to come out to meet him in person.

As for the Champa King, even though he bears the name of a king, so what?
Our family still wants to shake the might of the sky in front of you today, otherwise, it will lose the face of the Ming court!

At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out, with knives and guns in their hands, and surrounded Jin Ying and others.

The Sulu officer immediately stepped forward and explained that this was an envoy of Ming Dynasty, but after hearing this, the other party all looked terrified, and the sword in their hand was gripped even tighter.

Suddenly, someone shouted, as if giving orders.

Next, the Zhancheng people began to attack. These people had a bit of hatred and a bit of fear in their eyes, and they had to be careful with every step forward, not daring to neglect.

Although Jin Ying didn't understand the situation clearly, she knew that this group of people came with bad intentions and seemed to want to take her own life.

"What the hell are you looking at, come on!"

The Ming army went up to meet them, and the two groups of people immediately collided and began to fight.

Tang Xiaozhong was so frightened that he hid behind Jin Ying, not daring to show his face.

Jin Ying gave him a contemptuous look and said, "Going to sea with you is the worst choice in our life!"

After finishing speaking, he squatted down, picked up a stone, and rushed up with a groan.
