Comprehensive martial arts: Inherit the weak chicken sword god at the beginning

Chapter 134 Robber Country
The sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds.

Han Fei stood on the sail and looked into the distance excitedly.

It has been six full days since the last storm event.

After six days of tedious sailing, they finally saw a piece of land.

According to the houses on the land, everyone judged that this is a country that has never been to.

Therefore, Zheng He ordered that all ships move closer to the land.

The ships approached the shore quickly, which made the people on the island panic. They had never seen such a large fleet.

When everyone came to the shore, a large group of soldiers in strange clothes had already surrounded the place.

The leading soldier held a spear and murmured a lot of incomprehensible words to the crowd.

The language barrier has always been a major problem in sea navigation, but Daming is not without a way to deal with it.

As early as the Yongle period, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty at that time, had already set up the Siyi Museum for the study of foreign languages.

And on board, there were several translators from the Siyi Pavilion.

Because many countries in the West use the same language, the translator on Zheng He's ship also happened to understand the language of this country.

The interpreter stepped forward to talk to the soldiers, not only stating the purpose of their arrival, but also asking about the situation in this country.

After a while, the interpreter came back.

Zheng He asked, "What is the name of this country?"

"My lord, this country is called Ceylon," the interpreter replied respectfully.

"Ceylon?"

Zheng He pondered for a moment, but finally found no record about this country.

"It seems that this is indeed a country that our Ming Dynasty has never been to."

If it was just a suspicion, it is now a certainty.

Zheng He has sailed the seas for many years and has learned about various records. If there is such a country, he cannot be unaware of it.

Now that he has learned something, Zheng He is going to enter this country to check it out.

However, his translator stopped him: "Master Zheng, they just said that we can't go in yet, we have to wait for them to ask the king for instructions."

Zheng He nodded: "In that case, let's wait."

After all, they are here to communicate, not to fight, so there should be some etiquette.

About two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers who went to interrogate came back.

He said to the crowd: "The king said, you can go in, and he wants to invite you to a banquet."

(The translation is omitted first, everyone knows that it is good to have such a person, otherwise it will be too watery.)
Several people looked at each other, and then followed the soldier to the banquet.

After all, when you come to a new country, visiting the king is the most important thing.

However, there are so many of them that they cannot all go together.

The soldiers stayed in a city not far from the shore, and Zheng He only brought a few confidants along with him, as well as Han Fei.

On the way, several people had a taste of the local customs and customs here.

From people's appearance to clothing, and from the style of houses to customs, this place is completely different from Daming.

It is very novel.

Not long after, they arrived at the king's palace in Ceylon.

Different from the simple and magnificent wooden buildings of Ming Dynasty, here are more stone palaces with bright colors and full of western atmosphere.

Several people walked into the palace, and a large table of food had already been set up here.

There are all kinds of fresh fruits, as well as freshly cut beef and mutton.

On the main seat, sat an old man who was very old. If nothing else happened, he would be the king of Ceylon.

Seeing this, Zheng He bowed his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, this is the special envoy of Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, who is here specially to visit this time."

The King of Ceylon smiled and said, "You're welcome, please sit down."

Soon, the banquet officially began.

At the banquet, Zheng He talked with the king and learned about their respective countries.

Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, its reputation has not spread to this place, so the king of Ceylon also listened to it with great interest.

Han Fei ignored them and just ate on his own.

Not to mention, the food here tastes really good...

In this way, time slowly passed.

Just as the banquet was about to end, the King of Ceylon's words chilled the atmosphere.

"Since you are here specially to visit, what about the gifts you prepared?"

Zheng He was in a daze at the time. Generally speaking, the countries being visited give gifts to special envoys.

It was also the first time he encountered such a king asking a guest for a gift.

However, fortunately, he has a high level of self-cultivation, so there is no angry expression on his face.

Then, Zheng He said calmly: "I just arrived in a hurry, and the gift is still on the boat. We will come to visit tomorrow with the gift."

The King of Ceylon nodded, as if agreeing with his approach.

Afterwards, a group of people slowly left the palace.

Before leaving, Han Fei glanced at the King of Ceylon and found a hint of greed in his eyes.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem.

The so-called king of Ceylon must have no good intentions, and Han Fei was secretly on guard.

Sure enough, Han Fei's guess came true.

When they just walked out of the palace, they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Zheng He asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The leading soldier replied: "The king said that you just stole his treasure and asked you to hand it over."

"Treasure?"

Zheng He immediately understood that the king of Ceylon must have been interested in money and took a fancy to the things on their ship.

I couldn't ask for it just now, but now I want to grab it by force.

But the matter has come to this point, and explanations are certainly useless.

Afterwards, Zheng He looked at Han Fei, and he was the only one present who could practice martial arts.

Han Fei understood, kicked his right foot forward, and an invisible wave of air scattered around.

The soldiers surrounding them all fell to the ground in an instant after encountering this wave of air.

Just when several people were about to leave, the soldier who had just led said again:

"You can't run away, His Royal Highness has already summoned an army, and if you are sensible, return the treasure."

The corner of Han Fei's mouth twitched. He dared to ask for treasure even for this sake.

Looking at the familiar business ability, he was sure that it was not the first time these people had done this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Han Fei was fearless, but Zheng He was a little annoyed.

Although Han Fei's martial arts skills were extremely high, he was facing a country after all.

As a matter of urgency, we can only go back to the shore to gather the army first, and then make plans later.

However, they were one step too late after all.

When they had just walked halfway, tens of thousands of troops had completely blocked the road ahead.

The country of Ceylon is not big, but there are indeed many soldiers, and the land is small, so their support speed is faster.

Facing such a large army, Zheng He didn't think of any solution for a while.

At this moment, Han Fei suddenly said, "I have a solution."

The few people were overjoyed. After getting along for this period of time, they all knew Han Fei's ability.

Moreover, he is not a person who just talks about it, and now he speaks out, which shows that he really has a way.

Zheng He hurriedly asked: "What way?"

All he could rely on now was Han Fei in front of him.

Han Fei smiled: "It's not realistic to rush out from the army of tens of thousands of people."

"However, if you call back to the palace, I will be more than enough."

Zheng He's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"That's right, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"

　Interesting tidbits, the country of Ceylon is today's Sri Lanka, and there were indeed thoughts of robbing Zheng He in history.
