"He really said that? And he called me Your Majesty?" A trace of joy appeared on King Wu's face.
There was a guard standing in front of him, honestly reciting the conversation that took place in Fang Zheng's room.
"That is indeed what he said. Mr. Fang also said that he had decided to go to sea with His Majesty, and warned Steward Chen to be more honest around His Majesty. In the end, he seemed to have slapped Steward Chen twice, and the two of them broke up on bad terms. "
King Wu began to pace left and right with a smile on his face.
Very good, what I gave you has worked. It seems that Fang Zhengyi has recognized the reality in his heart and is just talking hard now.
"What happened after Chen Jian left? What was Fang Zhengyi doing again?"
"Master Fang asked for a lamp and went to the deck. Someone accompanied him."
King Wu nodded and said, "Okay, follow me to the deck."
on deck.
Fang Zheng stood near the bow of the ship, leaning on the railing with one hand and holding a lamp in the other hand. The light illuminated his face.
If there were no accidents, we should be hiding in the woods not far away.
You have to let them see you before you can plan your actions.
After standing at the bow of the ship for a while, Fang Zhengyi continued to adjust his position and continue to show his face.
The guards following him didn't know why.
He just thought Fang Zheng was curious, so he looked around and didn't ask any questions.
After wandering for a while, Fang Zheng turned around to look when he heard footsteps.
I saw King Wu approaching him with two guards and a lamp.
When they met, he said: "Fang Qing is so elegant and happy, didn't you say you had a rest?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Fang Zheng thought to himself
Just in time! Now is the time to relax the relationship and let King Wu relax his vigilance.
Fang Zheng bowed, covered his chest with his hand intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a complicated expression: "I... have met His Majesty..."
minister? His Majesty?
Surprise flashed in King Wu's eyes, and he said with a hint of doubt: "Oh? You figured it out so quickly?"
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, and whispered, "Is there any other way I can choose?"
"Your Majesty treats me like a nobleman, how can I treat you like a noble?"
"His Majesty had a conversation with me just now. I went back and thought about it again and again. I just felt that your Majesty is a truly talented and strategic master! No one has a vision that can match me. Now that I have met the Ming Master, I am overjoyed!"
Although Fang Zhengyi's statement was reasonable, the speed of change was obviously too fast.
King Wu was very clear-headed, but he was still very happy in his heart. He laughed twice while facing the sea, and said with great pride: "What Fang Qing said is good!"
"The world is ignorant and short-sighted, even the imperial brother is nothing more than this! Only by following me can you show your ambition and make a difference!"
"How high is the sky and how far is the road in this world? I will personally take you to see it!"
Hearing King Wu's heroic words, Fang Zheng wanted to laugh. He even felt a little ridiculous, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
This is the first time in so many years that someone has said this to me.
A native said that he would take an advanced young man of the 21st century outside to see how high the sky was and how far the road was.
There are many smart people in this world, and occasionally he has heard some shocking remarks made by some "madmen" who have failed to make the list.
Even modern-sounding statements like equality between men and women and overthrowing imperial power.
On some levels, there may not be much difference between people in ancient times and people today. There is nothing new under the sun.
After having enough wine and food, even ordinary people will look up at the stars and have all kinds of wonderful thoughts about the future and themselves.
But when it comes to concrete knowledge, there is an insurmountable gap!
Not to mention one King of Wu, ten thousand King of Wu plus one would hardly make Fang Zheng gain any insight.
The gap of hundreds or thousands of years cannot be made up by intelligence and hard work.
Fang Zheng smiled, picked up the pocket watch and said, "Your Majesty is not only ambitious, but also meticulous and considerate of his ministers. Seeing that I like this pocket watch, I even specially sent it to you. I am really touched, but also a little ashamed... "
"Ashamed? Why are you ashamed?" King Wu asked curiously.
Fang Zhengyi's tone began to become deeper: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I deceived Your Majesty just now."
King Wu frowned and said, "But there's no harm in talking!"
"I have told Your Majesty before that Goblins will gain nothing from Taoyuan County except painting skills. In fact, this is not the case."
"That thing with immeasurable merit is inseparably related to goblins."
Immeasurable merit?
King Wu's eyes flashed: "Speak quickly!"
Fang Zheng cleared his throat, clarified his thoughts and said slowly: "The Goblin comes from a small country in the west called Gini. The formula for its great merits was also stolen from the Gini country. There is a kind of coal mine in this country called Titanium Coal. , the most important material in Infinite Merit is this titanium coal, and Taoyuan County happens to have this kind of mine!"
"Jini... titanium coal?" King Wu murmured: "Where exactly is the country of Jini? Do you know!?"
"Ahem, I don't know. We have a language barrier with the goblins. We just know roughly that the coast of the Kingdom of Kinni is often noisy. The specialty is lychees... Being rich in lychees, the Kingdom of Kinni must be quite famous overseas."
"Kuns in the sea? Are there really kuns in this world?" King Wu frowned, feeling something was wrong. Isn't that a legendary thing?
"It's true! But it's not as huge as the legend says. It's only about ten feet tall, and water can spurt out from behind. I've never been to the sea, so I don't know if it's true or not... This is all what the goblin told me. .”
Upon hearing the details, King Wu immediately raised his brows: "I know this! The fleet returning from overseas once told me that they had seen an extremely large fish at sea that could spray water from its back... I also I don’t believe it, I didn’t expect it to happen! Those foreigners actually thought the strange fish was Kun!”
King Wu had been carefully observing Fang Zhengyi's expression. Although he was serious and did not seem to be lying, the content was a bit ridiculous.
I don’t know much about the West now, so I can’t tell whether what Fang Zhengyi said is true or false.
Even though Fang Zhengyi's words were serious, he could only believe three to four points in his heart.
But when the details of Kun Kun were mentioned, the trust in King Wu's heart suddenly rose to 70-80%!
A fish that can spray water from behind! He didn't even think of it, and he just heard the story from his sailors, how could Fang Zheng know that he had lived in Taoyuan County for a long time?
That must be the real existence of Goblins, which shows that Gini Titanium Coal is also real!
Right! Details determine success or failure!
I know you have probably heard of whales.
Fang Zhengyi almost laughed out loud.
King Wu asked eagerly: "What about other materials besides Gini titanium coal that have immeasurable merit?"
"Your Majesty, this is all I can say... When we get to Sangak, I will definitely help you do a lot of good deeds."
Fang Zhengyi decisively refused! When it comes to this, the effect is achieved. If you say more, you will be wrong!
Seeing that the request was rejected, King Wu felt angry for a moment, but it quickly dissipated.
I thought to myself, that's right... It would be suspicious if he told me everything directly!
King Wu pretended to be generous and said: "Haha, it doesn't matter! Fang Qing is still worried, I can understand it! When we get overseas, I will send you full authority to search for Gini titanium coal!"
Haha, little Heizi, look for a fart!
Fang Zheng cursed secretly in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I have another unkind request. Can you allow me to move freely inside the ship?"
King Wu waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "I am very happy that Fang Qing can tell me sincerely today. Such a small thing is of course all right! It's just that... you can't get off the boat."
