Location: Sheep Island under the rule of the Shuangyu Gang, also known as Sheep Horn Mountain.
Participants in the secret meeting: one man and several women.
This is a very strange combination: there are the original Jinyi Wei Baihu, the current leader of the Flying Dragon spy of the Yan King; There are heroines from the White Lotus Sect; There are thousands of masters who cross the north and south of the river and the Yellow River; There are pirates from Shuangyu Island who crisscross the sea; The most bizarre thing about the exiled princess of Ryukyu is that except for one Xia Xun, the rest are all women.
Pretending to be the mission of the Ryukyu State to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, this was Xia Xun's idea.
Historically, foreign merchants, ronin, adventurers, etc., pretending to be envoys of the country to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, there are many, many things, this kind of thing is a very shameful thing for the Heavenly Dynasty, so in our history books, for this kind of thing, we can often only see such a hurried sentence in the cracks, one inadvertently, swept over, there has never been a specific example.
Due to the transportation and communication conditions at that time, the possibility of such a mission being identified as a fake surname was almost zero, and even if the imperial court was suspicious, it was impossible for the imperial court to send someone to the country that the other side said to inquire quietly about whether such a mission had indeed been sent to the Central Plains.
Those missions that leak out are either because the quality of the "mission members" is too low, and they do not have the image of officials representing a country at all, or they are exposed because they and other so-called "missions" eat dog and expose each other's secrets in order to compete for interests.
Xia Xun took the idea and set the direction, and the rest of the things depended on everyone's collective efforts.
First of all, it was Su Ying who said that she would provide ships, entourage, clothing, tributary gifts and other materials.
Then, thank you for drawing up a detailed plan for the deception.
Then, Pingnu, who was most familiar with the situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom, decided on the specific situation of the tributary state missions, drafted the credentials, and supervised the creation of a series of fake seals and fake customs defenses.
Pingnu, who has always been cool, said to everyone very shyly: "We are currently well-known to the Ming Dynasty, only Shannan, Shanbei and Zhongshan.
There are many other small countries, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to understand.
Our country is called Kabala, which is actually very small, perhaps in the Central Plains, only equivalent to a small tribe, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to know about its fall.
However, Lord Yang said that we should try our best to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty, in this case, in addition to the prince leading the mission to show solemnity, we also need to try to make our country stronger. ” When Pingnu said this, she looked around and saw that everyone was nodding, only Xiao Di, who was sitting in the corner, looked at her with two eyes, and looked like she wanted to say something.
Pingnu stopped the introduction and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Well, I have a question" "Huh" Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Di, Xia Xun was surprised and looked at Xiao Di with admiration.
Everyone didn't hear the problem, but she actually heard the problem, which is rare.
Pingnu said politely: "You say." ” Xiao Di earnestly asked: "I'm very curious, why can you people there speak fluent Chinese?"
"Boom", and the people who were listening intently fell for it.
Pingnu couldn't help but laugh, and replied with a smile: "Of course we have our own language, clothing, customs, and culture.
However, in our country, noble and powerful people must wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, otherwise they will be looked down upon.
Our era name is the name of the Ming Dynasty used, as well as our official documents, treaties, historical books, etc., all of which must be written in Chinese.
Even the most powerful country in our country, the palace of Shuri Castle, the capital of the country, does not sit in the north and face south, but faces the west, that is, in the direction of the Great Ming Jingshi.
During the Chinese New Year, the kings of all countries where we have to worship in the direction of Daming in the palace, so it is normal for us to speak Chinese, wear Hanfu and even take Chinese names. ” Speaking of this, Pingnu sighed softly and said faintly: "Actually, in our place, since the Ryukyu Kingdom was divided into three, the three kingdoms of Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei have been at war with each other.
Later, when Emperor Hongwu heard that the three Ryukyu countries were fighting each other, he issued an edict ordering the three Ryukyu countries to rest their troops and support the people, and not to conquer each other.
The kings of the three kingdoms did not dare to disobey the order of the emperor, so they had to stop the war.
However, Emperor Hongwu said in the edict that the three kingdoms were not allowed to fight each other again, and when they saw the loophole, they took advantage of this loophole and began to attack our tribes living in the remote northern island, and this is how my kingdom was attacked by them."
Pingnu was sad for a while, regained her spirits, and said: "Kabala's fame is too small, maybe it will not attract the attention of the emperor of Shangguo, and the three kingdoms of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei have come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to Emperor Hongwu a few years ago, I don't know how much the Ming court knows about them, so there is a certain risk of pretending to be the prince of their country."
Therefore, we might as well take another name, it sounds like the name of a relatively powerful kingdom, and our envoy country is called Shandong, how about it?"
"Bang", everyone present was thundered down again.
Xia Xun couldn't help but smile and coughed: "Princess Ping, Shandong, cough, this name is already there." ” "That's right."
Pingnu was a little disappointed, she thought about it, and said happily: "Then let's call it Shanxi" "Shanxi also has it" Xia Xun's face was flushed, and he replied with difficulty with laughter.
Pingnu frowned, and said wonderfully: "Strange, where are these two countries, I haven't heard of them, so what kind of country should we call them?"
Su Ying said with a smile: "Shandong, Shanxi, Shannan, Shanbei, and even Zhongshan in the mountains already have them, so let's call them the front of the mountain, otherwise we will call it the back of the mountain."
Xia Xun rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "Do we have to compete with the mountain?"
Su Ying glanced at him and said, "There are only mountains there except for the island, so don't call it anything?"
Xia Xun said depressedly: "Okay, you see, am I the prince in front of the mountain or the prince in the back of the mountain?"
"You can't be a prince in front of the mountain or behind the mountain" Ignoring everyone's discussions, Xie Xie, who had been immersed in sketching and painting there, suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Fang Cai Pingnu also said, the Ryukyu people, advocating Hanfu Chinese, and dressing are generally similar to the Central Plains, even if you have a big beard and don't look at it coldly, people who are familiar with you will be stunned, and if you take a closer look, it is still easy to be recognized."
And a dignified prince, people can't pay attention to you if they want to, the people you have contacted before are indeed unlikely to have a chance to see you, but it doesn't mean that there is absolutely no chance to see you.
If once we bump into it, there is a different prince in front of us, can we not deliberately look at this risk, we must take it into account.
Therefore, you can only be the person next to the prince, as long as you can follow the prince, it will not affect your work, and there will never be anyone who stares at you specifically and completely treats you as an ornament.
When you need to do something in secret, you don't have to be so visible that you can't leave. ” Thank you's expression was very serious, it was her man who went to take the risk, how could she not be serious Xia Xun was surprised and said: "I don't deserve it, who else can be" Thank you: "Princess Ping has to pretend to be the princess this time, so that she can be inseparable from the person who pretends to be the prince, and remind him of his words and deeds at any time, so as not to make any mistakes."
What you really want to do and who you want to meet needs to be done in secret, and you don't need the identity of a prince, on the contrary, this identity will become an obstacle for you.
So, this prince, in the plan, is only used to create opportunities for you and attract the attention of others" Speaking of this, she turned to Pingnu and asked, "Princess Ping, among your people, there is someone suitable for playing the prince?"

"My people," Pinny hesitated.
Thank you hinted, "It doesn't have to be the person you brought from the Ryukyus, as long as you think it's appropriate, you can bring it up." ” Pingnu's eyes lit up immediately, she put her hand forward a little, and replied shyly: "Then just him" Everyone's eyes followed her fingers and looked forward, and they saw that what Pingnu was pointing to was He Tianyang, who was standing guard for everyone at the gate, He Tianyang was standing there idlely, not knowing that the people in the room were looking at him.
"He" Except for thanks, everyone pouted: "That's a prince, just him" Thank you Fang Cai seems to have been concentrating on outlining her plan, but in fact, she has been watching six ways and listening to all directions, not only everyone's plans are in her ears, but even everyone's expressions and movements are unobstructed.
From time to time, Pingnu secretly glanced at the door, how could she hide her ears and eyes.
Pingnu has changed from a princess to a princess, and she wants to be by this prince's side, if she is too mismatched with this prince, how can there be no flaws The officials and subordinates of Daming Honglu Temple are not only responsible for entertaining you to eat and drink, so this person who plays the prince can fall in love with this fake princess and the real princess It is the best.
As for He Tianyang's rough appearance, what kind of prince is a small country, isn't this in line with everyone's impression, who stipulates that they must read poetry and books to the fullest, and they are polite What's more, since he noticed Pingnu's affection for He Tianyang, Xie Yufei also observed him, and found that this person's eyes were very shrewd, not necessarily as rude as his appearance.
"I see it" Xie smiled and said: "The prince is just an ornament, with the princess's mention, no big mistakes, it's enough."
Anyway, the real important thing doesn't need him to do. ” "I can see it" Su Ying was the first to agree, of course, He Tianyang was an undercover agent next to the second boss Lei Xiaoxi, and at the critical moment, he cut off the head of Lei Xiaoxi, who wanted to rebel and usurp power.
This kid pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he is very shrewd, don't look at him and don't read much, whoever really treats him as a stunned young man will be unlucky.
Pingnu took a roll call, thank you and Su Ying agreed, and the other people could have any opinions, so everyone nodded.
Xia Xun, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help but ask: "What about me, thank you, what do I do?"
Xie Yufei smiled lightly and replied leisurely: "You, you are a eunuch" "What" From the prince to the eunuch, the gap is too big Xia Xun asked others for comfort with a bitter face, but what he saw was actually a group of chickens pecking rice, everyone nodded or nodded, everyone's eyes flashed with a very funny look, even Xiao Di, who should have been on his side forever, but the young master was no exception.
Xia Xun thought hatefully: "These women are too bad taste.
No wonder Master Kong said that only villains and women are difficult to raise."
