Chapter 768: Just Because of Gold
This villa was the house of a minister of the Kingdom of Java (i.e. the Kingdom of Majapahit), located on a hillside. The Javanese king and his entourage bypassed a forest and expanded their sight to the distance, and were immediately shocked by the scene of Kediri Port on the banks of the Brantas River.
(Kediri Port is probably in Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia today.)
The sea surface in the harbor is already filled with large fleets of ships; from a distance, it looks like migrating white cranes have filled a small pond.
The king, who had been heartbroken about the gold, changed his mind less than half an incense stick later and said, "If the Ming people only want gold, we may still be able to negotiate."
The envoy of Malacca (Sultanate of Malacca) warned, "The people of the Ming Dynasty have shown their greedy nature. Your Majesty's concession will only make them push forward."
At this time, the Javanese monarchs and ministers

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.But he still couldn't help it, turned his head to look at the curtain in front of the ear room door, and said, "General Ruan, come out."When Chen Xianzhen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his expression seemed to be frozen on his face. Various emotions such as shock, worry, and luck seemed to be intertwined and changed subtly with extremely subtle amplitudes that were difficult to detect.There was a dead silence in the room, and the curtains hung there quietly, without any movement. Chen Xianzhen followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and looked towards the ear room. She seemed to have held her breath.After a long while, Ruan Jingyi finally opened the curtain and quietly walked out of the ear room. When Chen Xianzhen saw that "General Ruan" was indeed Ruan Jingyi, her cheeks twitched slightly.Eunuch Cao Fu and Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.Zhu Gaoxu just observed silently, as if the Taoist p

The road under their feet was under the jurisdiction of the Beijiang Prefecture. Everyone in the group wore straw hats and rode horses. They were all sweating profusely. The sweat mixed with the dust raised by the post road made everyone's face covered with dust and dirt. In addition to Nguyen Jingyi, there were eunuchs and soldiers of the Jinyiwei in the team."Chichi..."
