Han Du, Zhu Biao, and Tang Ding hid in the cabin again. Since it would take time to replenish fresh water and food and wait for the transactions from Fu Yong and others, the three of them passed the time by playing chess in the cabin.
But this time, no matter how warmly Zhu Biao invited Han Du, Han Du was not fooled. No matter how Zhu Biao coerced and lured him, Han Du refused to play chess with him.
In the end, Zhu Biao had no choice but to fight with Tang Ding.
Tang Ding's chess ability was not as weak as Han Du's, and was even slightly higher than Zhu Biao's. After only four or five moves were played at the beginning, the red and black sides fell into a bloody fight on the chessboard.
Now, it was Zhu Biao's turn to hold the chess pieces and frown.
Han Du sat between the two of them, holding the tea cup and looking left and right with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood and it was definitely very interesting.
Zhu Biao was dissatisfied with Han Du's attitude and contradicted him, "You are watching from the side, can you understand?"
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao with a smile and said, "I can't understand, but I just need to see who loses and who wins." He stared at Zhu Biao with his eyes wide open, and the meaning was self-evident.
Just watching the two of them play chess made Han Du very satisfied. It would be even better if he could also see Zhu Biao lose miserably!
Zhu Biao was a little choked by Han Du's understatement. After coming over for a while, he said angrily: "So, do you think Guhui lost?"
Han Du nodded with a smile on his face. Who makes you so happy when you win? Aren't you allowed to have some fun next to you?
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, "Then just watch, you will be hit three times!"
Zhu Biao stared at the chessboard with all his concentration, and he and Tang Ding concentrated on fighting. However, in the middle game, Zhu Biao made a mistake, which led to Tang Ding seizing the opportunity to pursue the victory and being beaten.
Just when Zhu Biao was about to give up, a "dong dong dong" knock sounded on the door. Before Han Du could ask questions, Yu Da's voice came from outside the door, "I will ask to see Da in the end."
Han Du saw Zhu Biao and Tang Ding both staring at the chessboard with sweat on their foreheads. It was obvious that the fighting had entered its most intense stage.
So he turned back to the door and said, "Come in."
Yu Da pushed the door open and stepped in, then closed the door and bowed, "General, I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two marquises."
After finishing speaking, Yu Da stood up and saw His Royal Highness the Prince and Tang Ding fighting fiercely on the chessboard. He had no time to pay attention to him and was stunned for a moment.
Han Du smiled, waved his hands and said, "They don't have time to take care of you now. If you have anything to report, just say it."
Yu Da quickly came to his senses. It was not a big deal anyway, and the report from North Korea and South Korea was the same. Then he said: "After the King of Mount Ceylon heard that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was here, he wanted to come to see him. The envoys sent by Mount Ceylon Kingdom have already arrived and are waiting for the summons below."
Since it was a summons, it was not Han Du's business. He turned back to look at Zhu Biao. I was also wondering in my heart what the King of Ceylon Mountain was sending people to do? Handu had no intention of stopping in Ceylon from the beginning. He just wanted to replenish fresh water and some food before continuing his journey.
At this time Zhu Biao also came to his senses and heard Yu Da's words. He casually touched the chessboard and asked Yu Da with a pretentious look: "Is the envoy from the State of Ceylon here?"
"It's our chess!" Tang Ding suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering cry. Looking at the chessboard that had been messed up, Tang Ding was heartbroken, "We are going to win, we are going to win... ..."
He didn't care about the etiquette of the king and his ministers. He suddenly grabbed Zhu Biao's arm and asked eagerly: "Your Highness, did you do it on purpose? You deliberately messed up the chessboard. Are you afraid of losing to me?"
Zhu Biao was indeed at a disadvantage in the chess game just now, and he also knew that he was about to be defeated by Tang Ding. If the chessboard was still there, Zhu Biao would have to admit that he lost anyway.
But now that the chessboard is gone, the victory or defeat depends entirely on the voice. The father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right.
Zhu Biao got rid of Tang Ding's hand with a backhand and denied it: "What do you mean you almost won? Gu Kuai obviously won this game, okay? Gu Kuai just turned around and accidentally touched the chessboard. What a pity, what a pity~"
"Nonsense, we are obviously about to win." Tang Ding grabbed Zhu Biao's wrist again and held on, "You just deliberately messed up the chess game. You wiped your palm back and forth on the chessboard three times. Is that an accident?"
After being exposed by Tang Ding, Zhu Biao was able to remain calm without blushing. Not to mention anything else, just because of this shameless skill, Zhu Biao's growth was really rapid compared to when he was in the capital.
Seeing Han Du looking at him with a strange smile, Zhu Biao ducked his eyes, coughed, and turned to look at Yu Da. He asked seriously: "Where is the envoy from Ceylon?"
When Zhu Biao and Tang Ding were fighting just now, Yu Da wanted to bury his head in the ship's plank and didn't dare to raise his head at all. Now asked by Zhu Biao, he quickly replied: "It's just below, waiting for His Highness's summons."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly, glanced at Tang Ding first, and said: "Obviously Gu won, but you actually mistook a deer for a horse. But now the Ceylon envoy's matter is important, Gu won't care about you now. After Gu has dealt with the matter, we One more round, I want you to be convinced!"
"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?" Tang Ding saw that Zhu Biao had said this, so he had to reveal it angrily. However, he was still unconvinced and wanted to fight Zhu Biao in the chess game again.
Seeing that Tang Ding had been comforted, Zhu Biao raised his hands and stood up and said, "Let's go out with Gu to see this Ceylon envoy."
Zhu Biao walked in front, leading Han Du and others out of the boat and onto the bow.
Yu Da immediately pointed at a group of people in strange clothes on the beach below, "Your Highness, those are the envoys of the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom."
Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced, but because he was a bit far away, he couldn't see clearly. After picking up the telescope and taking another look, he muttered: "Call them up."
"Yes." Yu Da answered simply.
Han Du stood on the bow of the ship and saw a group of pro-soldiers coming forward to carefully inspect the envoys from the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom inside and out, and then let them take a small boat to the vicinity of the flagship and use a hanging basket to lift them. Lift onto the deck.
The envoy from the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom was also led by a short, dark man with a mustache and some clothes on his body. It's just that their clothes are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty. It is said to be clothing, but in fact it is just a circle of cloth wrapped around the lower body, and the injured body is also wrapped in a piece of cloth, but it depends on whether it is wrapped on the right shoulder or the left shoulder.
As for the complicated clothes like Ming Dynasty, sorry, no! It's impossible for them to have clothes. They don't even have tailoring skills. How can they have clothes? It's good to be able to use cloth in the most original and simple way.
Hader trotted all the way and came to Han Du with his head bowed.
Han Du glanced at him, gestured to the Ceylon envoy, and asked, "What's going on?"
Hard quickly replied softly: "Master Marquis, Hard doesn't know what's going on."
Han Du's eyes widened and he looked straight at him, "Hader brought this person here, how dare you say you don't know what's going on?"
Seeing that Handu was angry, Harder quickly explained: "Isn't Harder sending a message to Fu Yong and the others to facilitate their trade with the Ceylonese people? These people came suddenly, out of nowhere, all of a sudden They just surrounded us."
Han Du narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully: "Did they block your transaction?"
"Is that true?" Harder shook his head, "But they claim to be the subjects of the King of Ceylon Mountain, and the Ceylonese people we trade with do know them and are very respectful to them. Harder doesn't think they do It seemed fake, so I brought them here."
Han Du looked at Hade and was silent. After a long time, when Hade was seen by Han Du, he flinched a little. Han Ducai said: "Doesn't it look fake? Is it true or false? Can you tell it casually?"
Hader realized that Han Du was dissatisfied with his reckless behavior, and smiled awkwardly. He suddenly realized and asked eagerly: "Are they fake?"
How would you know if Han Du was real or fake? After all, Han Du has never even met these people. But now, whether it is true or false no longer matters.
Zhu Biao looked at the few Ceylonese people who came forward. When these people came to a place two feet away from Zhu Biao, they were directly stopped by the pro-army troops.
The actions of the pro-soldiers immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the Ceylonese people, and they chattered something towards the pro-soldiers.
However, the pro-army troops only obeyed Zhu Biao's orders and ensured Zhu Biao's absolute safety. They did not understand and did not want to listen to what the Ceylonese people said. No matter whether Ceylon was dissatisfied or angry, they would not be looked down upon by the pro-army forces.
One of the pro-soldiers saw that the Ceylonese people did not kneel before His Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately shouted: "Bold, if you don't kneel before His Highness the Crown Prince, you are committing a crime of deceiving the emperor. Are you looking for death?"
After saying that, he was about to go up and arrest the Ceylon envoy.
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, he who doesn't know is not guilty." After all, the person who came was an envoy from Ceylon. Although Ceylon is only a small island country, since people heard the news and came to worship, it was not at all polite. However, Zhu Biao was still able to spare them generously.
Han Du glared at Hader, raised his chin and said, "Go and tell them what to do when meeting His Highness."
Seeing that Handu did not blame him for his recklessness, Hard quickly smiled and bowed and agreed, then turned around and ran to talk to the Ceylon envoy.
I don’t know how Harder communicated, but in the end the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom envoy understood. Scholar Harder knelt down and prostrated on the ground.
Hader said seriously: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire. His Highness is a thousand years old..."
Naturally, the Ceylon envoy and others could not speak Chinese. They followed Hader's movements without saying a word and bowed respectfully.
