[Marco Polo] Where is Homecoming?

However, just as someone fell down in the Jedi Desert, someone suddenly woke up thousands of miles away in the depths of the Khan Palace.

In the spacious and quiet bedroom, the man sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

"what happened?"

Sanga also sat up and asked.However, the people around him didn't seem to hear a word, and after a long time, they heard him muttering.

"...I saw fire... fire all over the sky..."

"and then?"

Sang Jia patted him on the back, the prince closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again.

"...The fire that filled the sky fell from the sky, hitting my people in Dadu...the crowd fled in all directions, but wherever they fled, the fire fell..."

"I saw a man trapped in the fire, and I wanted to call him out, but found that I couldn't make any sound at all... just watched him being burned alive, his limbs twisted and deformed, and his whole body turned into coke... "

"Then... who is that person?"

Listening to what he said, Sanga also felt frightened, and couldn't help asking timidly, but Zhenjin didn't speak, and his face was terrified. Sanga didn't say anything when she saw him. She hugged him and hugged him thinly. s hair.The prince lay back slowly under her comfort, but he didn't close his eyes all night.

The continuous nightmares have greatly affected his spirit. No matter what he does, it is difficult to concentrate. Even in the daytime, he often wanders involuntarily.

"...real gold?"

He was discussing things with his own children and asked about the current situation, but the person in front of him suddenly stopped answering. Queen Chabi waited for a while, and finally couldn't help reminding.

"Uh?"

One sentence brought the prince back to reality, and he quickly raised his head, but the queen couldn't help being a little puzzled when he got the response.

"Zhen Jin, why have you been so out of your mind recently, is your new wife dissatisfied?"

"Very satisfied, mother."

Empress Chabi looked at him and suddenly sighed.

"Your father is also in a bad mood recently... That Latin man, he wanted to let him go, but he escaped by himself..."

Having said that, she couldn't help turning her face away, and Zhen Jin stretched out her hand to cover hers.

"Mother, he won't be able to escape very far. The three hundred miles of desert here are uninhabited. If he flees in a hurry, he will only die on the way."

"Do not."

Chabi shook his head, "Mother doesn't want him to die, he saved my child, God bless him to reach his hometown smoothly..."

Zhen Jin was in a daze for a moment, and fell into a deep silence after recovering. Cha Bi looked at him, and suddenly reached out to caress his face.

"...It will be White Festival in half a month. I want my son to be happy and stop thinking about any troubles."

Zhen Jin looked up at her and nodded very lightly.

Winter in the north has always come earlier than in other places, and the weather is getting colder and colder.Boyan held a cup of tea and sat under the steps, and couldn't help but smile when he heard someone coming.

"The plum blossoms are falling."

The prince gently walked in front of him, and he couldn't help asking hesitantly when he heard the sound.

"Can you feel that too?"

Boyan didn't speak, just nodded with a smile.Zhen Jin hesitated for a while, then sat down.

"I heard that a group of Christians will arrive in Dadu in the near future, and they will bring many priests with them. Father Khan wants to test their capabilities. He may not have the energy to attack Lin'an in the near future."

"This is good news."

Boyan turned to him.

"Last time you said that there is an inner ghost in Dadu, have you found anything these days?"

However, the prince shook his head.

"Still thinking about that Latino?"

Zhen Jin suddenly raised his head, but saw that Master's expression didn't change at all, and a trace of frustration could not help but flash across his face.

"He escaped."

"I know."

Boyan paused, got up and walked into the room.

"I'm just a passerby, I can't keep it."

On December [-]th, Dadu ushered in a travel-stained brigade.Because of the advance notice, the welcoming team was very grand, and Khan personally received them in the hall.

During the banquet, the priest presented the Khan with a jewel-encrusted Bible presented by the Pope, and the merchants presented rare playthings. The Khan was very happy and immediately showed these items to the queen and the officials.

Empress Chabi couldn't help but looked at her son, only to see that the prince's mind had wandered off, but Khan was very excited, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Also, we brought another gift to the Great Khan."

Halfway through the journey, the leading man kowtowed.

"We caught a man in the desert. He was a fugitive from the kingdom ruled by the Khan. We lost two companions and subdued him. Only then did the Khan bring him back to Dadu."

At that moment, two people dragged one person to the hall and threw it under Kublai Khan's seat.

"Mark!"

As soon as Zhen Jin's eyes swept over, he stood up and shouted, surprised.

I saw that the man was covered in blood, motionless, as if he had no consciousness.

Noticing that the eyes of the entire hall were focused on him, the prince sat down unnaturally, but secretly clenched his hands, exposing his white joints.

Even Kublai Khan was a little surprised, he stared at the person who looked like a dirty doll, speechless.

"Because he said disrespectful words to the Khan all the way, we were afraid of offending the Khan with the palace, so we cut off his tongue. We hope the Khan will forgive us."

"what!"

Zhen Jin stood up again, staring at the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly clear and frightening,

"You are so brave! What right do you have, how dare you treat our prisoners like this!"

He roared, the veins on his forehead popped up, and his eyes were about to split.

The caravan didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but kowtowed and apologized.

"Real gold."

Khan ordered in a low voice, the prince's chest heaved and his expression was ferocious, it took a long time before he lifted his clothes and sat down angrily.

The scene in front of him was so dramatic that almost none of the officials could react except Ahmed.

On the contrary, Khan knew which was more important, so he didn't say anything more about the matter. Afterwards, he expressed his condolences on the situation of the journey and what he had seen in the surrounding area. After the court meeting was over, he was thrown into prison.

Unprepared, a ladle of ice water was poured on his head, and Ma Ke couldn't help shivering and opened his eyes.

Seeing him waking up, the person in front of him quickly dropped the ladle and squatted down.

"Open your mouth."

Zhen Jin looked at the person in front of him and opened his mouth obediently. After watching for a long time, he couldn't help reaching in and tugging, frowning and saying:

"Isn't that good?"

"Say a few words."

He looked at the person in front of him and ordered with a frown. Marco moved his mouth and choked out a sentence.

"...It's so cold."

The prince's original sulky face stretched a little, but he quickly returned to his usual cold look, and he couldn't help saying annoyed.

"...What the hell is going on here? Are those foreigners lying to me, causing me to lose my bearing in front of my father?"

However, Ma Ke, who had just recovered, automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and spoke eagerly when he was in better condition.

"They have a premeditated plan to murder Khan on Baijie!"

However, Zhenjin frowned again after hearing his words.

"Latin, have you lost your mind?"

"Really, believe me real gold!"

Marco sat up a little more, and couldn't help making gestures.

"...I passed out in the desert at that time, and when I woke up, I saw them. They said they would arrest me to see the Khan, so that the Khan would trust them more..."

"The night I ran away, I wanted to go to Derek's tent to get the key, but I heard their conversation. They spoke Moscow language. I passed there with my father and learned some from the locals. I can't hear it wrong... "

"...Their plan is to enter Dadu on the grounds of sacrificing the priest first, and then gain the trust of the Great Khan to enter the Khan Palace, and then assassinate the Khan on the White Moon Festival!"

He swallowed, and added.

"I found the firecracker in the last car."

The eyes of Prince Huobao suddenly became sharp when he mentioned that he was injured by him in the First Battle of Xiangyang, so that he withdrew from the battlefield early and failed to see the final victory.Although the body was fine afterwards, it left scars that could never be erased for life.

"You only need to propose to search the compartment now, and once you find these things, you can arrest them immediately."

"No."

Zhen Jin refused.

"At the moment my father trusts them very much. In case you tell a lie or they transfer weapons, how can I explain to my father."

He thought about it.

"Since they have to wait until the White Moon Festival to attack, then I will deploy people in advance, and I won't be afraid of their denial if I catch the present, but if I find out that you are lying, I will never let you go lightly."

Marco thought it would be too risky to say then, but he ended up saying nothing.

Zhen Jin's eyes turned back to him.

"Did you find out that's why they wanted to cut your tongue out?"

Marco nodded, "...Don't you always say you want to cut off my tongue, but you didn't cut it off, are you disappointed?"

Zhen Jin didn't speak, just looked at him, and suddenly reached out and pinched his chin.

He moved closer to him, his voice cold and dangerous.Marco was forced to look at him, only feeling the prince's breath on his neck.

"If you want to cut it, I will cut it."

However, that hand didn't let go immediately as if it was attached to him, but caressed his cheek and circled around the back of his head. Suddenly, the black-haired prince leaned over slowly and kissed him on the lips.

Everything is as interpreted in Marco's dream.The prince's lips were soft and warm, but at that moment, he suddenly became timid.

Zhen Jin kissed for a while and found that the person in front of him didn't respond, so he couldn't help but let go of him, looked at him, there was a moment of doubt on his face, but soon changed into a playful expression.

"I thought you liked this, after all you..."

"Zhen Jin, I'm covered in injuries and I don't have the strength to fight you."

Zhen Jin stared at him for a while, then stood up, his former arrogance had returned to his face.

"That's how it is. If your information is correct, it's okay. If it's wrong, I don't need to waste my feelings on a dying person."
