Chapter 277 The Eve Before Landing

After three days of preparation, Zhu Di's imperial guard set off and headed towards the Sishui Pier of Quanzhou.

Strictly speaking, the dock in Quanzhou is a private property of the Sishui No. 3. However, the Liujiagang Taicang, which Zheng He set out, was too simple to welcome the emperor. At that time, Guanglu Temple found the manager of the shops in the capital of the Sishui No. 3 and requisitioned the dock in Quanzhou.

The court personally requisitioned the ranks. While sending people to the God of Wealth Island to report to Gui Bugui, the manager agreed to the requisition of the dock instead of their new old boss. There is another meaning to choose the Quanzhou dock of Sishui. By the way, Wu Mian's attitude of Gui Bugui. Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, he has taken good care of both Sishui and Shao's women. For this reason, Wu Mian should draw a clear line with Zhu Yunwen who fled. No matter what, Zhu Di is now the king of a country.

Zhu Di was anxious to see Zhu Yunwen again. When he refused all the officials along the way, he almost lived in his extremely luxurious carriage and arrived at Quanzhou Wharf in half a month.

Originally, Zheng He's fleet arrived near the Quanzhou Wharf the day before, but in order to create a situation where His Majesty the Emperor personally welcomed Zheng He off the ship. The fleet got off the anchor twenty miles away from the wharf, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive at the wharf tomorrow. After the fleet was parked, Zheng He ordered all the officials, soldiers and crew to change into clean and tidy clothes and thank His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness in the best manner.

The crew members were preparing for the trip tomorrow. Zheng He took a person to a cabin guarded by heavy troops. There were only two young white-haired people here. After seeing Zheng He arrive in person, a white-haired man in a white robe smiled at him and said, "The ship stopped. Have you returned to the land? There are no windows here, and I don't know where it is..."

"Yes, the fleet has arrived at the Quanzhou Pier." Zheng He continued after saluting the young man: "We need to pause here for one night. His Majesty will come to welcome Jianwenjun in person tomorrow morning."

The white-haired man who just spoke was Zhu Yunwen, the Emperor Jianwen who escaped from the capital. Another white-haired man was his personal bodyguard Zheng Jun. I don’t know why their hair became like this, and their hair was exactly the same as Wu Mian.

After Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun were arrested, Zheng He only met them once. He only comforted him a few words to prevent them from committing suicide and imprisoned them in the cabin. He did not have time to ask why the changes were so great. In order to prevent Zhu Di from being suspicious, Zheng He did not see Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun again along the way. It was their second time to meet until today.

After hearing Zheng He's words, Zhu Yunwen smiled strangely, and then said, "Uncle Fourth comes to greet him in person? Speaking of which, he has ascended the throne, right? The king of a country has arrived here from afar, just to welcome me, the emperor who has stepped down. It's really hard for him. It seems that if Zhu Yunwen doesn't die in front of him for a day, my fourth uncle will not be able to sleep well for a day..."

After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zheng He hurriedly explained: "Jun Jianwen misunderstood. He thought you had passed away in the palace that day. The country should not be without a master for a day, so Your Majesty reluctantly ascends the throne. If you didn't leave that day and talk to Your Majesty, maybe you are still the lord of the world now. Your Majesty made it clear when he was in the crisis that Jingnan was just a clear side, not a bad thing for you in Jianwen."

"You still say that Zhu Di is Qingjun's side?" Zhu Yunwen smiled and shook his head, then continued, "Just pretending that I have passed away and have no descendants. But I still have younger brothers. King Wu, King Jian and King Heng are both my younger brothers. Brothers are not his turn, right?"

After Zhu Di took over the capital, he demoted Zhu Yunwen's younger brothers to common people and entered the circle. Later, the three of them passed away for no reason. The officials guarding them reported an epidemic. On the excuse of worrying about the spread of the epidemic, they burned the three of them, leaving only a handful of ashes.

Zheng He didn't dare to explain for Zhu Di easily. After hesitating for a while, he said to Zhu Yunwen: "This is your family matter with Your Majesty. When you meet Your Majesty tomorrow, someone will naturally explain it to you."

Zhu Yunwen smiled softly and said to Zheng He calmly: "Will I wait for an explanation? I'm afraid I'll go with my younger brothers as soon as I get off the boat."

"Jun Jianwen is too worried. Perhaps after seeing Your Majesty, Your Majesty will give you a free and easy prince, and you can enjoy wealth and prosperity carefreely, and you don't have to worry about the world anymore." After that, Zheng He took a new set of clothes from the hands of his followers, and then said to Zhu Yunwen: "Jun Jianwenjun, your clothes have not been replaced for so many days. You will get off the boat tomorrow. Zheng He will serve you to change clothes. You have been the king of the world. You don't want to wear this outfit to return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"I would rather never return to this place..." Zhu Yunwen sighed while speaking, and then continued, "Well, I can't let my fourth uncle laugh at you... Come and serve me to change clothes, and also find a clean set of clothes for Zheng Qianhu. I believe he will die on the same day as me, and give him a new one..."

"Jun Jianwen, you are too worried. I have prepared new clothes for Lord Zheng Jun. You will change them after you change your clothes." When he spoke, Zheng He had already started to serve Zhu Yunwen to change clothes. He was originally Zhu Di's personal eunuch, who usually took care of his master's food and clothing, and changing clothes was his duty.

Although Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun were Zheng He's prisoners, Zheng He dared not abuse them. They both had hot water to wash their bodies every day, so Zheng He couldn't take such a turn. Therefore, it was good to change clothes this time, and there was no need to take a shower. Moreover, Zhu Yunwen probably wouldn't go to take a shower to see his uncle. If he wanted to ask him to take a shower, Zheng He didn't mention it at all.

When changing clothes, Zheng He saw Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun shut their mouths, and the scene seemed a little sad. At that moment, he found a topic and wanted to induce Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun to say a few words. Don’t feel more aggrieved the more they think about it. When they leave, their master and servant committed suicide.

While putting on Zhu Yunwen's clothes, Zheng He said, "Jun Jianwen, I have always had something I don't understand. I read the file I asked you to return to the ship that day. You and Zheng Qianhu were both black-haired, but why did you suddenly turn white? And you have more than a hundred guards around you, why did you suddenly die?"

After hearing Zheng He's words, Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun both had a tangled expression on their faces. On that day, Zheng He sent five thousand troops to attack the manor where they lived. Although Zheng Jun and other guards fought to the death, they were still unable to defeat the five thousand well-trained troops. Seeing that he had been surrounded, Zhu Yunwen knew that the situation was hopeless, so he took out the poison that Wu Mian gave them that day.

Seeing that the master was about to take poison to sacrifice his country, the other guards also took out the poison they carried with him at the same time. In the end, more than a hundred people took the medicine at the same time. Unexpectedly, none of the guards were left, and after taking the medicine, they died tragically in front of Zhu Yunwen and Zheng Jun. The two of them just struggled in pain. After recovering, they realized that their hair had turned white and had become an immortal body.

Zheng Jun, who had become an immortal body, still had the opportunity to break through the siege and escape, but he loyally protected the master and finally stood by Zhu Yunwen, intending to accompany his master to die. Then he was caught by Zheng He's men and sent to the ship. However, in this way, it was impossible to speak to Zhu Di's personal eunuch.

After changing his clothes, Zheng Jun looked at Zheng He and suddenly looked at him: "This time, the King of Yan sent you to catch the master. Do you know about this matter and Wu Mianxianchang of the Sishui No. 1? Isn't Your Highness Yan really worried about them?"
