"But if I don't take a look, I won't be sure." Zhang Zhao said helplessly, "If something happens, we won't be able to leave. I want to first check out their guards and see where there are boats. If there's any emergency, we can just grab a boat and leave."
"That's not necessary," Fang Zhenghua said. "We just need to wait here. They will send us off respectfully in the end. Don't worry."
Seeing Zhang Zhao was about to speak, Fang Zhenghua's face darkened. He stared at him and said, "Do as I say."
"But what if there is real danger? His Majesty asked me to protect my father-in-law's safety." Zhang Zhao stared, as if he had no intention of listening to Fang Zhenghua's words, and continued to speak with his neck stiff.
"I am not afraid of death for the Ming Dynasty." Fang Zhenghua was helpless. Although he wanted to beat Zhang Zhao up, he couldn't because this person was not under his jurisdiction.
If he really dared to hit Zhang Zhao, it would be a big deal. So he could only persuade him.
It's really hard to deal with these people when they become stubborn.
Zhang Zhao looked at Fang Zhenghua, stiffened his neck, and continued, "But my mission is to protect the safety of my father-in-law."
"Don't worry, I'm safe." Fang Zhenghua stared at Zhang Zhao and said, "If you say that again, I'll have them send you back, and you don't have to stay with me anymore."
Zhang Zhao's face flushed crimson instantly. He felt helpless and could only muffled his words, "I'll definitely report this to my superiors when I get back."
"Okay," Fang Zhenghua immediately smiled and said, "We'll go with you then."
After the two finished their conversation, they didn't stay long as someone came to invite them in.
The welcoming dinner is ready, Fang Zhenghua can go and have dinner.
When they arrived at the front, there was a sumptuous feast of wine and food. Zheng Zhilong even invited his wife Tian Chuan Song to join him.
The meal was a great success, with both parties enjoying the conversation in a friendly atmosphere.
After dinner, Fang Zhenghua was sent back.
After the people were sent back, Zheng Zhilong also accompanied his wife to the back.
After the two sat down, Tianchuan Song brought water to wash Zheng Zhilong's feet, which was what the two had been doing for many years.
"Is this eunuch of the Ming Dynasty very complicated?" Tian Chuan Song asked while rubbing Zheng Zhilong's feet.
The Tagawa family can be considered as the property of the Matsuura family and is also the owner of Hirado Island.
Matsu Tagawa grew up on Hirado Island. His father died early, and his mother remarried a blacksmith from Fujian, and later married Zheng Zhilong.
Tian Chuansong has been very sensible since he was a child. As he grew up, he became very sensitive and his judgment on everything was very accurate.
Tian Chuan Song could see it in Zheng Zhilong's attitude towards Fang Zhenghua. After all, Zheng Zhilong's strength had increased dramatically in recent years, and he didn't need to give face to anyone. He was even about to move away from Hirado Island and go out on his own.
Under such circumstances, Zheng Zhilong was actually very polite to this eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. How could Tianchuan Song not be curious?
"He's a very favored eunuch by the side of the Ming Emperor," Zheng Zhilong said slowly. "He has a say in the Ming Emperor. This time, he's here as the Ming Emperor's special envoy."
"What to talk about?" Tian Chuan Song raised his head and looked at Zheng Zhilong and asked.
"They want to attack Japan." Zheng Zhilong did not hide it from his wife and said directly: "The fleet has arrived outside. If it were not for me, I am afraid they would have already started the war."
Tian Chuan Song's hands trembled, and he subconsciously held Zheng Zhilong's feet and asked, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Zheng Zhilong said with a wry smile, "On the way, I encountered their fleet and was defeated. I lost more than 60 warships and was captured by them. If I weren't a Ming Dynasty soldier, I'd probably be dead now."
"Then what do they want you to do?" Tian Chuan Song looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said with a hint of fear in his tone: "Do they want you to be their guide? Or do they want you to cooperate with them from the inside and outside?"
For Tianchuan Song, this is her home, Hirado is their home. If Zheng Zhilong and the Ming people attacked Hirado together, Tianchuan Song really didn't know what to choose.
Her expression was serious and she stared at Zheng Zhilong with burning eyes, hoping that he could give her an answer.
Even the hands holding Zheng Zhilong's feet began to exert force unconsciously.
