"This goblin was quite well behaved in Taoyuan County. Later, I sent someone to teach it language. Fortunately, it was quite smart and could barely speak a few words after a few months of study."
"What happened later? Where is he now?" asked the King of Wu.
"This goblin is still an infatuated one, and he couldn't forget the saint. He said he had discovered a new continent and could return to his country to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, so he borrowed some silver from me and left on his own. I didn't try to stop him. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have died at sea."
King Wu laughed in silence and said sarcastically, "Oh, this goblin is short-sighted and really stupid."
"Yeah, stupid goblin!" Fang Zhengyi echoed.
King Wu quickly lost interest in the goblin, turned around and picked up an item at hand and handed it to Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng took it and fiddled with it for a while. It turned out to be a small round box with a flip top.
King Wu explained, "This is called a pocket watch. It keeps extremely accurate time. It was made by a top Western craftsman. I spent one thousand taels of silver to buy it."
"There are twelve hours in a day, and the dial of this pocket watch is divided into twenty-four..."
King Wu was explaining on the side, and Fang Zhengyi was already fascinated.
There was nothing surprising about this pocket watch. With a size of this size, it would not be surprising if it was used as a watch box in the future. It was really bulky.
The problem is that the numbers on the dial are actually Roman numerals!
He will definitely not admit his mistake!
If Dajing speaks Chinese, it's not surprising that there are Roman numerals...
It seems that the evolution of civilization is shaped by certain natural laws.
As long as it is dominated by humans, even if the world changes...it will still be the same!
Fang Zhengyi was still sighing in his heart. King Wu glanced at him and asked, "What do you think of this thing?"
"Oh...very good! Everyone should have one of these. That way it will be much more convenient to do things." Fang Zheng came to his senses, answered a few words randomly, and put the pocket watch back on the shelf.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late and I want to go back and rest. I think I will have plenty of time to look at the things here later."
Fang Zhengyi didn’t feel like sleeping.
But King Wu has a lot of interesting things here, I kind of want to grab them!
If there is no problem with Zhou Tie leaving marks along the way, our people should be able to find us soon.
I just don’t know where they are now...I have to go back and think about a solution.
I already know what I need to know, and there is no point in continuing the conversation with the King of Wu.
King Wu did not try to stop him, but just nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone to take you back to your room."
By the time Fang Zheng returned to the room, it was already completely dark.
His room was separated from Zhou Tie, but it had a window facing the land.
Looking down from the window, there were still soldiers holding torches on the land keeping watch. In the distance, in the moonlight, I could make out a forest and a mountain.
Fang Zhengyi felt much more at ease.
At least our people have a place to hide. Too open an area would be unfavorable for combat and inconvenient for escape.
And fighting in the mountains and forests is their strong point! But I don't know how they can save themselves.
As I was daydreaming, I heard a few vague bird calls in the distance.
Fang Zheng was shocked and looked into the distance!
All I saw was black...
I turned my head and listened carefully, and heard two or three more bird calls.
A smile gradually formed at the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth.
Here they come, our people are here...and they’re pretty fast!
The call was rhythmic and meaningful, but he hadn't used it for so long that he could hardly remember it clearly. He had to find a chance to meet Zhou Tie!
Otherwise, I can't cooperate with the action...
While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Before Fang Zheng could open the door, Chen Jian, the palace steward, walked in with a tray and a smile on his face.
Seeing him barge in without caring about anything, Fang Zhengyi felt very unhappy and said unkindly, "Manager Chen, what do you want from me?"
"Sir Fang, His Majesty asked me to bring you something." After saying that, Chen Jian placed the things on the tray in front of Fang Zhengyi.
What was placed on it was actually the pocket watch!
You want to buy me off with small favors? I'm so tired of this trick!
Fang Zheng curled his lips, picked up the pocket watch and put it directly in his arms, and said unceremoniously: "Okay, get out!"
Damn it!
Chen Jian's face froze, and he whispered, "Master Fang, this is all from the heart of His Majesty..."
"Which Majesty? Didn't you kill the Majesty? Haha, you damn eunuch." Fang Zheng started to speak unscrupulously.
Originally, he didn't like the old guy's sinister look.
He sells out his master for personal gain, what a lowly person!
As a high-quality male, he simply doesn't look down on such scum!
What's more, he was tied to the boat by the King of Wu, and he had been holding back his anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent it! It was just the right time for him to be bullied!
A vein appeared on Chen Jian's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said humbly, "May I ask, Master Fang, is there any grudge between us?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Do you deserve to have a grudge against me? You are a eunuch guarding the emperor, and you poisoned the emperor yourself. You even killed the emperor you were supposed to protect, not to mention others. I am very afraid of being with someone like you."
"That's all in the past. Good birds choose good trees to roost in. I hope Lord Fang doesn't mind." Chen Jian suppressed his anger and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
No...I absolutely cannot cause a scene with Fang Zhengyi, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the prince.
I really have no way out!
"Since ancient times, loyalty and treachery cannot coexist! Ask around in Dajing, everyone knows that I, Fang Zhengyi, am the most loyal minister of Dajing! You traitorous eunuch! Get down from under me!" Fang Zhengyi's expression became increasingly arrogant.
Chen Jian’s sword became hard, and his fist became hard!
But he still kept his sanity and continued calmly: "Master Fang...after all, we are all working for His Majesty."
"We will continue to get along in the future, so why should I make His Majesty unhappy? After all, my past is over!"
"Is it fun for you to pester me like this?"
Fang Zheng smiled evilly: "You are not angry even though I scolded you like this, you really have no balls! You are a sinister villain, I hate people without temper the most!"
"Master Fang!" Chen Jian, whose personality was insulted, finally couldn't help but shouted.
But before he could finish his words, a crisp "pop" sound appeared on Chen Jian's face.
This sudden slap left Chen Jianfan stunned.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhengyi was not only harsh with words, but also took action!
Fang Zhengyi looked at Chen Jian with a stern look on his face: "What are you barking about? What are you barking about! Who am I and what is your status? I hate it most when someone gets angry with me!"
After saying that, Fang Zhengyi took out a pocket watch from his arms and shook it vigorously in front of Chen Jian.
He bowed his hands to the sky with a proud look on his face and said, "Your Majesty is wise! He treats me like a national hero! He even gave me a pocket watch! Do you have one?"
"Who the hell are you? Just a dog by the emperor's side! A dog should act like a dog!"
“!!!”
Chen Jian was stunned. At this moment, he completely forgot about the pain on his face. His facial features were squeezed together and he looked at Fang Zhengyi in disbelief.
Aren’t you the most loyal minister of Dajing! ?
He betrayed in just half a day!!!
