At the Ming army camp, the central army tent received news that the queen of Zhenla Kingdom had actually come here.

This matter must be responsible for the Ming envoy Liu Ming, who was responsible for diplomatic relations. Liu Ming felt it was unbelievable, and he had been troubled recently. But the eunuch Meng Ji advised him and asked him personally. Liu Ming agreed with the eunuch's opinion, and the two walked out of the central army's tent.

The Jinyiwei School Captain, two soldiers on duty guards, and a communicative official accompanied him. Liu Ming and Meng Ji went to the simple shed to receive foreign tourists outside the headquarters.

This military camp was originally a remote place, located at the northwest end of the small peninsula of Saigon Bay, but now it has changed its appearance greatly. The polygonal stone-based rammed earth fortress not far away has first seen its scale; the dust is flying under the "Western Mountain" and is full of tools and materials. There are also many people, and many black men are working there, all of them are captured real slaves, and the officers and soldiers call them Kunlun slaves.

On the east coast, there are already several simple piers, with warships and ships of all sizes moored near the pier. This wilderness has probably never been so prosperous before.

The Ming army officers and soldiers in the Saigon Bay Camp actually had less than a thousand people, and the guard was Lin Zixuan. Liu Ming would of course prefer to see that his acquaintance Tang Jing stayed; but Tang Jing's temperament belonged to the ocean, and he followed the general Chen Xuan to continue going out to sea, which was the appropriate arrangement.

The camp has become the center of diplomatic relations these days. The Zhenla people, Siamese people, and Mantajia people have sent envoys to come, and their relationships are very complicated. Liu Ming and others have not straightened things out yet.

If the arrival of Queen Zhenla is true, then the matter will be even more complicated. However, Liu Ming felt that it was mostly just a few cheaters. There were incidents in the capital that pretended to be an envoy of the foreign vassals and wanted to deceive the imperial court to reward him. It is even more impossible to find a place like Saigon.

The city was not yet repaired, and everyone lived in a very simple place. Liu Ming and two other people walked into the shed, while the Jinyiwei School Captain observed the "Sitting Note" outside the door according to the rules.

The two visitors had arrived earlier, one man and one woman, dressed very simply, and they were a little embarrassed, and there was no tribute follower. But what was amazing was that when Liu Ming saw the woman at first sight, he immediately believed that she was a noble lady.

Liu Ming had seen all kinds of real people in the local area, most of whom had darker skin; but the woman in front of him had light brown skin. Most of the village women here had turbid and unsightly eyes, ignorant; most people did not have the deep eyes of this woman and the rich expressions they showed.

The woman looks completely different from the Ming Dynasty women, and is not as fair and elegant as the Han beauty Liu Ming has seen. But he has to think that this woman is very beautiful, has a concave and plump figure, and is as three-dimensional as her face takes turns. Her posture and temperament do not look like a person with a low status.

The three of them were looking at the woman, and the woman was also observing them, paying special attention to Liu Ming, who was standing in the middle wearing a red official robe.

"They probably don't speak Chinese." Liu Ming turned his head to the official in charge of communication.

Sure enough, neither the woman nor the dark man next to her responded. The woman was just observing Liu Ming's expression of speaking.

The news began to speak to them in real words and was soon responded. The woman said something coldly, and then the black man said something a little more.

Liu Ming waited for a while and then turned around and said, "Report to the envoy Liu, the general situation is that this man came hostage to the queen, but there is no token.

It can confirm the identity of the queen."

Liu Ming frowned and said, "According to the envoy of Zhenla Kingdom, the queen has been deposed."

The eunuch Meng Ji immediately spoke to the news and said, "Test them."

The news said: "I am sorry to you, Eunuch Meng, the envoy of Liu, and the official said that the woman was the deposed queen. He said that the Zhenla people would send envoys to come, so that the Zhenla messenger could confirm the queen's identity."

After a while, Tongshi said a long time to the black man. The woman showed an angry expression.

Tongshi turned around and said, "There is a small hole in the woman's left nose, which was originally decorated with gems. The man also said that the woman's underwear may be a good material that can only be worn by the royal family."

The matter was said with conciseness, and Liu Ming suddenly felt that such a bizarre situation might be true.

Meng Ji also said: "It seems that it is indeed true. We have captured a few status quo of Zhenla generals. We can choose two of them later to confirm her identity."

Liu Ming noticed that Meng Ji did not propose to let the Zhenla envoy come to recognize people. The Zhenla envoy was in the Ming army camp. The black man in front of him might not know that the envoy had arrived.

Then I asked about the situation in detail and asked about it clearly, at least it was a saying of a real black man.

According to Heihan's account, because of the domestic fight between Zhen La, the deposed queen was deceived outside the city and would have been killed. However, Heihan thought he was worried about his life, so he took the deposed queen and killed two other people. He then took the deposed queen Saigon Bay hostage, hoping to get the reward from the Ming people; he fled to other places after he got the money.

The real black man believed that the Ming people would reward him because he believed that he had made great contributions to the Ming army. He heard that the head of the murder of the Ming delegation was the descendant of the queen, An En, the younger brother of the queen.

Liu Ming and Meng Ji looked at each other, and Liu Ming turned his head and said, "Come on, please take these two real larks separately." After that, he made another gesture and asked Meng Ji.

So the three of them left the straw shed. There was no decent etiquette, after all, the identity of the deposed queen has not been officially confirmed.

On the way back to the headquarters of the Central Army, the eunuch Meng Ji was right beside him. Liu Ming asked quietly: "Who is the envoys of Zhen La and Siam? Who is the more supportive of Eunuch Meng?"

Meng Ji looked stunned and hurriedly said, "Eunuch Liu, don't ask us. Only the prince and the emperor have the power given by the emperor and have obtained the imperial edict. Others don't care about it, they just follow the errands and do some tricks."

Liu Ming refused to comment.

Meng Ji was silent for a while and said quietly: "Envoy Liu is the diplomatic commissar appointed by the Emperor. What you mean is the Emperor. This is really the case with Liu."

Liu Ming said: "It is of great importance and I have to make a long-term plan."

Meng Ji nodded and said, "It should be. But the authenticity of An En's head can also be taken by the deceased queen. Isn't An En's sister? If she sees An En's head, she may see many clues."

"It makes sense." Liu Ming said.

When the Zhenla envoy arrived, Liu Ming heard the words about the Zhenla envoy. The Zhenla people found out from somewhere that Liu Ming, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, had a relative who was slaughtered by the Zhenla people in the previous mission.

|Lu. So the Zhen La people were also worried that Liu Ming would be affected by personal grudges.

The eunuch Meng Ji may also know these things, but he had no opinion just now. According to the principle, Meng Ji is a person around the emperor, and even if he cannot decide everything, it is okay to give some suggestions.

When Liu Ming returned to the barriers of the central army, a soldier immediately came to report that it was Zhen La's envoy who wanted to see Liu.

However, Liu Ming found an excuse to shirk the matter. He went back to the tent and sat for a while, then got up and prepared to meet the eunuch Meng Ji.

Meng Ji, a semen man, showed an unexpected expression on his face. He hurriedly welcomed Liu Ming into the tent, and then asked, "Is there anything I have to say when I am here?"

Liu Ming pondered for a moment and said with a forced smile: "There is no fire in my tent, so I'm here to ask for tea."

Meng Ji smiled and said, "Sit on the stool of Liu Jun, we will serve tea now." After he said that, he put an iron kettle on the stone stove and put out a military iron cup and two cups.

Liu Ming sat on the wooden bench and said, "These days, I have remembered my dead cousin, Chen Zhang."

Meng Ji squatted slightly, turned his head and said, "We have heard of it a little."

Liu Ming outlined: "If I have a tragic incident in Chen Zhang, it is really hard to say how big I feel. People have grown up to a certain age and are really numb to things that have no personal interests. Chen Zhang has little influence on my life. He is from the Chen family. He is taken care of by the Chen family and is not under my jurisdiction. He is not from Shilin, and has no effect on my career."

Meng Ji nodded and agreed, "That's the case. But everyone usually doesn't say it. It's not good for relatives and friends to hear it."

Liu Ming said: "I have always been busy with other things, and I haven't even thought of him for many days. It's just that when the night is late, I don't weigh the pros and cons and no longer think about the truth in front of me, so that I can feel a less intense but lingering state of mind inside."

Meng Ji listened silently without saying a word.

Liu Ming was also silent for a while, and then said, "I bullied Chen Zhang when I was a child. I was two or three years older than him."

He said this without thinking, then suddenly came to his senses, shook his head and smiled, "But it disappeared later. When he grew up, he was very strong. I, a literati, could not do it even if I wanted to bully him."

Meng Ji also showed a smile, but didn't say anything.

When Liu Ming talked about this topic, he couldn't help but say a few more words, "I remember one time, I had an argument with Chen Zhang for some reason. That day, my mother gave us two boiled eggs and asked us to study in a private school. After we went out, I snatched his eggs. Later, I got angry and returned the eggs to Chen Zhang when I returned them from the private school, but I didn't eat them."

He said this and hurriedly said, "I shouldn't have said these irrelevant things, which made Eunuch Meng laugh."

"No, no." Meng Ji smiled.

But Liu Ming knew that Meng Ji understood what he said. Because Meng Ji quickly said something: "It is not convenient for our family to talk too much about your affairs. But our family thinks it is just human nature."

The water on the stone stove had already made a sound, and both of them were sitting on the stool. They seemed to understand in their hearts that today's conversation was not over.
