Zhu Biao nodded after listening to Han Du's words and no longer insisted on letting Han Du take him through the Sea of Storms. He knew that Han Du would not lie to him on such an important matter. Since Han Du said that he was not sure of crossing the Storm Sea, it was enough to show how terrifying the Storm Sea was.
Zhu Biao was not scared, but after he had truly seen the power of the storm, he also believed that it was unmatched by humans.
No matter how great your courage is, it can't compete with the real power of heaven and earth. That's not called bravery, that's called recklessness!
...
After giving up Zhu Biao's idea of passing through the Storm Sea, Han Du began to discuss with Zhu Biao about going to Tianfang.
"Your Highness, Tianfang and we don't understand each other in the same language. If we go, how should we communicate with them?"
Zhu Biao raised his head and said matter-of-factly: "Why don't we go with Hade?"
Shaking his head, Han Du said with a smile: "Your Highness, this place is different from the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is vast, since the Qin Emperor's Shu and Wen Chai were on the same track, they all spoke unified Chinese. But here, maybe a small The kingdom has a completely different language. Well...it means ten miles different pronunciation and five miles different tones."
"Although Hader is a native of Horumus, he probably doesn't know much about Tianfang."
"This..." Zhu Biao hesitated, "Why don't we find him and ask him?"
Han Du shook his head gently, "No need, even if Hader understands Tianfang language, we can't continue to use him."
"Why?" Zhu Biao couldn't understand this. He had always asked Hader to help him explain it to Khrumos Handu. Why did he suddenly want to push him away now?
Seeing that Zhu Biao still didn't understand, Han Du had no choice but to explain: "After all, Hader is a native of Horumus. How much nostalgia he has for Horumus and how loyal he is to us is unknown. He is loyal to us now. No one knows whether he is truly loyal or just because we help him find his goods and prevent him from going bankrupt."
"So, my idea is that we can't rely too much on him. Even if we go to Tianfang, even if he understands Tianfang language, we can't use him."
Knowing and employing people is the art of an emperor. Lao Zhu taught him from childhood to General Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao didn't expect this just now, but now that Han Du mentioned it, he understood it instantly.
He nodded in agreement with Han Du, and then asked: "Then where are you going to find someone who understands Tianfang language?"
This... Han Du hasn't thought about it yet.
It was because Han Du had not thought about it yet that he proposed to discuss it with Zhu Biao.
Seeing Han Du looking directly at him, Zhu Biao lowered his head and racked his brains and said: "Since Tianfang is also a big kingdom and it is not too far away from Hulumus, then it is very likely that they will meet with him. He has some connections with Horumus. Why don’t we go to the city lord’s mansion to look for him, maybe there is such a person?”
Han Du sat down in front of Zhu Biao, tapped his fingers on the long table a few times, and shook his head slowly, "That's not appropriate. Even if the city lord is willing to help, we can't use the people he sends. These people are different from Hard. , we saved Hader's life and exchanged his goods for him. That's why he will help us wholeheartedly, but the people in the City Lord's Mansion have nothing to do with us. If we use them, wouldn't it be It's equivalent to letting the city lord install an spy.

Around us, doesn’t he know exactly what we did in Tianfang? "
Zhu Biao looked into Han Du's eyes and said nothing.
After Han Du pondered for a while, he said softly: "Perhaps, we can try to buy a slave who can speak Tianfang dialect."
"Slave?" Zhu Biao frowned after hearing this. I am quite dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of directly treating people as livestock. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as selling people into slavery. At most, they were doing long-term labor for people.
Zhu Biao was kind-hearted by nature, so naturally he didn't want to think about these cruel things.
"Just a slave."
After listening to Han Du's words, Zhu Biao couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and said, "Then do what you want."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Han Du smiled and cupped his hands.
The next day, Han Du set off again, boarded a carriage and headed to the Punk Slave Market. However, this time Han Du was not accompanied by Harder, but two people from the Shi family.
Arriving at the slave market, Han Du opened the wooden door and stepped out of the carriage. As soon as he turned around, his eyes met Punk who was tremblingly trying to get off the carriage.
Han Du smiled the first time he saw Punk, as if he was thinking of whatever he wanted.
After Punk saw Han Du, a smile instantly appeared on his face and he greeted Han Du from a distance.
Shi Si quickly approached Han Du's ear and whispered: "He is greeting the Marquis."
Han Du nodded slightly after hearing this, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He opened his arms and walked forward, saying happily: "It turns out to be Mr. Punk, whom I have admired for a long time."
Punk was slightly taken aback by Han Du's actions and stood there without hugging Han Du.
When Han Du saw it, he suddenly understood. Isn't there a hugging etiquette here? Then he took his arm back.
Shi Si said a few words to Punk. Although his language was not very proficient, his enunciation was clear and Punk could understand it completely without any problems.
Punk looked at Shi Si in surprise, and then asked Han Du: "What you said is right. Are you from the Ming Empire or from Horumus?"
Shi Si was stunned by Punk's words, and then Nuonuo lowered his head and did not answer.
Han Du glanced sideways at him, looking a little bad, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? What did he say?"
"He said..." Shi Si hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said quickly: "Seeing that my words were quite good, he asked me if I was from the Ming Dynasty or from the Hulumos?"
Han Du took a deep look at Shi Si and said directly: "Then just tell him that you are from the Ming Dynasty. What is there to hesitate about?"
Shi Si's face lit up with joy, and he turned around and answered Punk confidently.
Shi Si was born and grew up in Jiugang, although now Jiugang was taken over by the Ming Dynasty and the Jiugang Xuanwei Department was established. But he didn't know whether he was from Ming Dynasty or not. It must be said that the people of Jiugang are from the Ming Dynasty, but they are not included in the Ming Dynasty's fish scale yellow book. To say that they are not from the Ming Dynasty, they live in Xuanwei Division, the old port of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Shi Si himself couldn't figure it out, so he hesitated to answer when asked by Punk.
But now, Han Du directly determined their identities, and they were Ming people.
Punk heard that Shi Si was really from the Ming Empire, and saw that his words were so good.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, sighed and said a few words to Han Du.
After hearing this, Shi Si smiled a little because Punk praised him again. But he did not tell Han Du, and directly told Han Du the key information: "Master Marquis, he asked us if we want to buy slaves. He can provide us with some convenience."
This is really a pillow that catches drowsiness.
Han Du nodded directly and said: "That's just right. I want to buy some slaves who can speak Tianfang language. Ask him, does he have such slaves now?"
Shi Si told Punk about Han Du's request.
Originally, Han Du thought this would not be difficult for Punk. After all, he controls such a large slave market, with thousands of slaves in it. What's the point of finding one or two slaves who can speak Tianfang dialect? This place is not very far from Tianfang in the first place.
But after hearing this, Punk shook his head and leaned slightly toward Han Du with apology.
Han Du suddenly felt bad and looked sideways at Shi Si.
Sure enough, Shi Si's face darkened after hearing this, and Nuonuo said to Handu: "He said that he did not have the slaves that the Marquis needed here. He explained some, saying that the slaves he had here were all Hulumos. Nearby, for a place so far away, he has no business there."
Trouble... Han Du's heart sank after hearing this. If he couldn't find anyone who understood Tianfang language here, he would have no choice but to go to the City Lord's Mansion. But Han Du was extremely unwilling to have an informant come in. Han Du didn't want to go to the city lord for help unless he had to.
"Ask him again and let him think carefully, where can he find such a person?" Han Du sounded a little anxious.
Shi Si nodded quickly, turned around and asked Punk.
After hearing this, Punk pondered for a moment and gave Shi Si a suggestion.
Shi Si's face suddenly became happy when he heard it, and he said to Han Du: "Master Marquis, he suggested that we go to the Yamer Slave Market."
"Yamo Slave Market? Where is that?" Han Du asked Punk directly.
After listening to Shi Si's report, Punk explained to Han Du.
"Master Marquis, according to Punk, the Marquis of Yamo has also met him. He is the slave owner who bought the brocade at the auction, and is Punk's enemy."
"So it's him." Han Du nodded, remembering who it was.
Then, he looked at Punk with deep meaning and asked: "If I am not wrong, you and he should be sworn enemies. Why are you helping him introduce business now? Aren't you afraid of Yamo?" After getting the benefits, will they turn against you?"
Punk understood what Han Du meant, then laughed, shook his head and sighed.
"Master Marquis, he said that if Yamo was the only one, of course he would not help him. But because the Marquis needs it, he will choose to help the Marquis."
Han Du looked at Punk with a smile. Sure enough, no one who can do such a big business is a fool. Punk didn't have what Handu needed, so he couldn't be of much help. But when he knew that the enemy might have it in his hands, he did not hide anything and directly told Han Du the news. This seemed to encourage the enemy, but at the same time he also gained Han Du's gratitude.
Compared to Yamerai, Punk is more interested in Handu. As long as it can leave a good impression on Han Du and build a good relationship with Han Du, even if Yamo takes advantage, it is worth it.
