In Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Di and Zheng He sat opposite each other.
Between the two of them was a table full of sumptuous dishes.
"Zheng He, you've worked hard all the way here. You've been busy with me all morning. You must be exhausted." Zhu Di chuckled.”
"Zhen specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare food in advance. Quickly try it.”
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Zheng He hurriedly cupped his hands.”
Zhu Di laughed and said,""Why are you still being so polite? Today, there was only master and servant, not monarch and minister.”
There were not many people in the world who could make Zhu Di invite them to a banquet alone. Within the Imperial Palace, there was only Zheng He.
Zhu Di had long treated this servant, hero, and general who had followed him for 20 years as his own child.
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he sighed,""Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.”
"I am old, and you have also become a hero of the Great Ming Dynasty. You have traveled across the oceans and made my Great Ming awe-inspiring the four seas.”
"I still remember that you were good at swimming when you were young. When you had nothing to do, you would carry a small fish basket to the river with Second and Third. Every time he came back with a full basket, he would be covered in mud.”
" If I want to fight, you'll be right in front of them, protecting them. They'll even eat all the fish that came their way, haha!"
Zheng He smiled shyly and raised his wine glass.
The two of them downed the wine.
Zhu Di put down his wine glass and laughed."I'm done talking. You should also tell me.”
"You must have seen a lot of new things after going out for two years.”
Zheng He's eyes lit up as he said excitedly,""Emperor, speaking of this matter, this official first has to thank a person.”
"This person is His Highness the Prince of Liang!”
"Fourth Bro?"
Zhu Di was slightly surprised.
Zheng He looked into Zhu Di's eyes and said sincerely,""If it weren't for the young prince, Zheng He would never have achieved what he has today!”
Zhu Di stroked his beard and said with interest,""Interesting. Tell me about it."
Zheng He told him the truth about the three items that Zhu Gaoyan had given him.
After hearing that, Zhu Di was stunned on the spot.
"An omnipotent compass?"
"This is a tool to differentiate directions.”
"Compared to ordinary sinan, it's more accurate and can be used in areas with strange powers.”
"Without him, I'm afraid I'll have to travel for another three months. I'll have to wait until next spring to return.”
The effect of strange force was what magnetic field disorder was called in ancient times.
In ancient times, magnetic field disorder had always been a big problem for those who went out to sea. No country had ever solved it.
However, it was not a big problem for modern compasses.
As long as he didn't enter the magnetic field, the compass that Zhu Gaoyan gave Zheng He could allow him to reach most parts of the world.
Zhu Di nodded slightly." This kid has loved to fiddle with these things since he was young.”
"What about the medicine? You said that he gave you some medicine. Could it be that it's better than the medicine in the imperial kitchen?”
At the mention of this, Zheng He became even more excited. He said excitedly,""Emperor, those medicines are simply divine medicines!”
"In the past, when we went out to sea, half of the crew members were not acclimatized. They either had a high fever, vomiting, or diarrhea.”
"After taking the young prince's medicine, none of the crew members were infected.”
"We even cured the West Mist Queen's illness. The West Mist King was extremely grateful to Ming.”
Zhu Di was stunned. After a long while, he sighed faintly." This little brat is not simple."
"Zhen had neglected him in the past and thought that he could only tinker with small things.”
"Not simple, not simple"
Zheng He was delighted. He was very grateful to Zhu Gaoyan and was happy to hear Zhu Di praise him.
However, what Zheng He did not know was…
Zhu Di's praise had another layer of meaning.
These excellent medicines reminded Zhu Di of the three cannons that Zhu Gaoyan had brought out when he returned to the capital.
At that time, Zhu Gaoyan had casually told him that he had tied the three barrels together on a whim.
Zhu Di didn't know much about Cannon, so he didn't take it to heart.
Later, he heard from the Minister of Works that the structure of those cannons was extremely complicated, and it was far from being as simple as tying them together.
Many of the components were designed in an extremely ingenious manner, which was an eye-opener. The Ministry of Works was delighted for a long time.
"Could it be that this kid is really hiding his strength?”
Zhu Di muttered in his heart.
...
On the other side.
After Zhu Gaoyan returned to the mansion, the maid, Hongshu, came up to him.
"Your highness, a eunuch called Mo Yu came to look for you just now. I asked him to wait in the living room.”
"Oh?"
Zhu Gaoyan was deep in thought, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He pinched the sweet potato and said,"I'll go over now. Take the other maids away and don't let anyone approach the living room.”
The sweet potato was pretty and slightly red. It replied softly,"Yes."
Like the Startling Salamander, Sweet Potato was also loyal to Zhu Gaoyan.
They would never ask for the reason for Zhu Gaoyan's orders. They would only obey unconditionally.
......
Zhu Gaoyan came to the living room.
An old eunuch was already waiting in the living room.
Seeing Zhu Gaoyan, the old eunuch stood up and saluted. He said in an old voice,""This servant greets Your Highness."
Zhu Gaoyan snapped his fingers.
Bang bang bang!
A gust of wind blew past, and all the doors and windows were closed.
Seeing this, the old eunuch walked up to Zhu Gaoyan without saying a word and knelt down.
"Black Jade Kylin greets Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Unknowingly, the old eunuch had turned into a middle-aged man.
Even his voice had become incomparably thick!
Zhu Gaoyan nodded in satisfaction." As expected of the Black Jade Kylin. Its disguising skills are unparalleled in the world!”
That's right.
This was one of Zhu Gaoyan's trump cards.
Reverse Flow Sand's top assassin, Black Jade Kylin.
He was born proficient in the art of disguise. He was shapeless and could transform into all living beings!
It could even perfectly imitate a person's voice and moves. Almost no one could see through it!
Among Zhu Gaoyan's many subordinates, the Black Jade Kylin was the most secretive one.
Other than Zhu Gaoyan, no one had seen his true face.
He had been helping Zhu Gaoyan with difficult reconnaissance and assassination missions, and he had never failed!
"Master, I've already found out." The Black Jade Kylin cupped his hands and said.”
"After King Han and King Zhao left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, they went to the residence of King Han together.”
"Among the envoys from the various countries, the King of Han's hanger-on has already infiltrated.”
Zhu Gaoyan's eyes turned cold as he murmured,""Second Brother, you really can't change your ways.”
"Last time, on account of the old master, I let you off. This time, even I can't find a reason to do so, Qilin!”
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Go to the Welcome Courtyard immediately and find that bastard!" Zhu Gaoyan said coldly.”
"Yes!" The Black Jade Kylin said in a deep voice.
