It's late at night.

In the deep garden of the Song Dynasty, the lights gradually dimmed, except for the flickering light of lamp oil and candles in the study on one side of the main hall.

There is a faint aroma of burnt oil and wax in the air;

In fact, the whole city is like this.

In the sky above the city that never sleeps, the exhaust gases produced by human beings for daily needs have gathered, and are refracted by the light in the city, forming a strange halo.

But in this era, if any literati see it, they will only sigh at the prosperity, beautiful scenery, and the feasting and feasting.

In the study room, Song Feiyin's voice fell.

Xue Nu asked in surprise: "According to what you say, you are the only one in Palembang who knows my... master's identity?"

Song Feiyin nodded deeply.

"Why?" Snow Girl asked again.

Song Feiyin said: "The villain accidentally saw something on the Ming Dynasty treasure ship..."

"At that time, I boarded the ship and wanted to see Grand Duke Xu Zexi of Shangbaojian. While I was waiting in the drawing room, I faintly heard... noises inside."

"When the door opened, the statue placed on the high platform of the incense burner was..."

Hearing this, Zhou Li'an interrupted him immediately: "Okay!"

"Why are you the only one going?"

Song Feiyin replied: "This is the meaning of Eunuch Xu, or the meaning of the Ming Dynasty court."

"Back then, I went north to the capital to receive rewards on behalf of my father-in-law. The person who received me was Eunuch Xu, the eunuch of Shangbao Eunuch."

Having said that, there is no need to ask any more questions.

Liang Daoming was recruited before because the Ming Dynasty was afraid of the Chinese forces living in Southeast Asia and intended to suppress him.

Later, as the exploration of the Western Ocean gradually began, and bandits were rampant at sea, Liang Daoming's deputy Shi Jinqing was supported to establish the "Palembang Xuanwei Division".

The Palembang Xuanwei Division was not only a supply transfer base for the Ming Dynasty fleet, but also a deterrent to the South Sea route.

However, the Ming Dynasty had to be on guard against the "Palembang Xuanwei Division".

Since a son-in-law of the Shi family has come to our door, we can naturally leave an insurance policy to support and suppress the Shi family in Palembang in the future.

Just like the disintegration of Liang Wang Liang Daoming.

To bring down the biggest one, the deputy must also stabilize the situation when he takes the throne. Not to mention a complete reset, he must also rely on the support of the Ming Dynasty and become a loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty.

Song Feiyin said it very vaguely, but also very straightforwardly.

Of course he could feel Daming's overtures to him, otherwise why wouldn't even his father-in-law receive him, and only he would board the ship secretly?

At this point, even Xue Nu understood the deeper meaning of his words: "Does Ming intend to support you?"

Song Feiyin shook his head and nodded: "Perhaps it's just a trial contact. My father-in-law is in good health. How can those things get to us juniors?"

"Then why doesn't Second Sister Shi know about this?"

"Do you still want the Song family to replace you?"

Hearing Xue Nu's question, Song Feiyin was startled and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Miss Si Nuo..."

"My second sister and I are in love with each other and we truly love each other."

"But you also know that my secret contact with the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty is a taboo."

"It's okay if my father-in-law doesn't know, but once he finds out, he will be furious!"

"Therefore, I thought about it and decided not to tell my beloved. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility."

The snow girl stared at him with eyes that seemed to penetrate her soul.

She has been in a high position for a long time, and even if she did not cultivate it deliberately, she naturally developed the so-called self-restraint of a high-ranking person.

Song Feiyin couldn't hide things in front of her.

"You pass!"

When she finished speaking, both eyes looked at Zhou Li'an.

Zhou Li'an has long been worried about it——

Because he learned from Song Feiyin that when the Ming Dynasty fleet returned, they did not hold a grand celebration. Instead, they sealed off the ships and only took away the property stored by the Palembang Xuanwei Division.

This trip to the east is indeed to search for fire, oil and black mud.

And when the mission is completed, they will go directly north, take a new route, go directly north, and return to the Ming Dynasty.

This move must have been done by Zheng He to conceal what Malindi had seen.

Although he has a balanced belief, he has made a statement earlier and must still act as a loyal minister.

The impact that the balanced entry into the WTO will have on the world will be horrific.

Before getting Zhu Di's accurate attitude towards equilibrium, Zheng He could only close the news and give Ming a breathing space.

But in fact, it is still too early to wait for equilibrium to enter the WTO.

Zhou Li'an had no intention of reaching out to Nanyang so quickly;

And he wants it not to be a throwaway vassal like the "Palembang Xuanwei Division" built in the Ming Dynasty.

But a firm belief.

So, at this moment.

There was a great deal of light in the study, and the brilliance eclipsed the expensive whale oil candle wax in the room.

The condensed body of the true god almost filled the room.

Song Feiyin was stunned.

His whole body was shaking wildly, his mind went blank, and he even forgot to bow and kneel down. His body was no longer under his control and was weak...

He gradually slid off the wooden chair and collapsed on the ground.

"I am the only true god in the world, the Lord of Balance!"

"At this time, I will make a righteous contract with you..."

"If you do my will, you will receive my glorious blessing!!"

"..."

"..."

Song Feiyin's brain was dizzy and his thinking function was lost, but there was a voice in his heart telling him.

You must not faint, you must remember, you must remember this moment, and you must remember this god's will.

He was like a drunken drunkard, with only his willpower still running forcibly, making his brain continue to imprint images like a printing roller.

By the time he woke up, it was already late at night.

The sky will be bright yet...

The hustle and bustle in the city finally subsided.

The Great Elder and Cook Mo had been invited to the Song residence a long time ago, but they had not yet entered.

And at this moment.

A group of three people walked out of the study.

Song Feiyin took a deep breath of air, and when he saw the Great Elder and Mo Doc, he quickly engraved their faces in his mind.

Even he doesn't know if we will see each other again in the future.

Then Zhou Li'an's voice revealed, waking him up: "Young Master Song, how about we say goodbye?"

Song Feiyin suddenly woke up and wanted to worship, but was stopped by the look in the eyes of "Miss Si Nuo".

He took another deep breath, calmed down, and then said, "Everyone, please come with me..."

Song Feiyin led the way and there were no housekeepers or servants following him.

When he arrived at the waterside pavilion in the backyard of Song Mansion, he found a secret door leading to the underground. As he led the way, he introduced: "There are many secret escape routes in the mansions of the giants in the city, because Palembang was not peaceful in the early years."

"First there was chaos among the indigenous nations, and then Chen Daoyi's bandits wreaked havoc."

"The King of Liang, Liang Daoming, could not bear the humiliation suffered by the Chinese township party, so he took the lead in gathering thousands of people to establish the Three Buddhas Kingdom."

"It was later that the Shi family showed its power and relied on the Ming Dynasty to establish the Xuanwei Department."

"..."

He introduced the history of Palembang along the way. After walking through the secret passage, it suddenly became clear that he was directly connected to a grass pond waterway.

There are several small boats hidden in the shelter of water plants.

"From now on, the waterway can lead directly to the outside of the harbor. It's still early and there are only fishermen outside the harbor. No one should pay attention to the young master's whereabouts."

Zhou Li'an nodded: "Then let's say goodbye."
To be continued...
