Great Ming: Zheng He Took Me to Meet Zhu Di from the Start

In the third year of Yongle in the Great Ming, the eunuch Sanbao Zheng He was dispatched by Zhu Di to lead a fleet on its first voyage to the Western Seas, to display the empire's military might abroad and show off the wealth and strength of the Great Ming.

He also carried a secret order: Search for traces of Jianwen! Capture Zhu Yunwen and bring him back to court!

In the fifth year of Yongle, after a year and a half of searching in vain throughout the countries of the Western Seas, Zheng He was on his way home when he rescued a mysterious man on a deserted island!

"Where is this?"

"Sanfoqi, in the Western Seas!"

"Who are you?"

"I am Zheng He, an official of the court!"

"Ah, so you're Zhu Di's eunuch Sanbao?!"

"How dare you speak His Majesty's name so casually! You must be Jianwen's accomplice. Speak! Where is Zhu Yunwen?!"

"Sir, the man won't talk. He refuses to confess!"

"Men! Take him back to Yingtian and throw him into the Jinyiwei prison for interrogation under torture!"

That's right, this mysterious man is our protagonist, Yu Jing!

He still has no idea that as Zheng He's fleet sails home, danger and opportunity are quietly drawing closer...

He has even less idea what a surprise he'll have in store for Zhu Di when he reaches the Great Ming capital of Yingtian!
