It has been three full days since Gu Li's Zhenlong Transformation and Da Shui, naturally, during this time period, Yan Ling is still on the train to Gubin City, and Wu Li has just arrived in Gubin City and is about to go to the Consulate to meet with Lingu.

However, for Ye Gu and Luo Sijie, their boat had just arrived at the river near Nandu, ready to dock and board the dock.

At this time, the southern capital was in the absolute heat of midsummer, but fortunately, due to the abundant rainfall this year and the abundant water of the valley rivers, it did not seem too hot and dry in the southern part of the empire.

The summer sun is scorching, and the sound of cicadas is bursting.

After two days of fighting and escaping, Ye Gu and Luo Sijie's hearts that were hanging high at that moment finally relaxed in the beautiful scenery on the outskirts of the southern capital and above the valley river.

"Miss Luo, how long will it take for us to get to Nandu. Sitting cross-legged on the boat, he asked with a slight ease. At this time, he was looking out of the small window, looking at the riverbank where the boat passed.

As the boats approached the southern capital, the two sides of the river bank had gradually changed from a sparsely populated state outside the town to a surging flow of people. The closer you are to the pier in Nandu, the more profound this long-lost feeling of getting along with people becomes.

Sure enough, man is still a social creature.

"My lord, it's not far away, and after passing the long bridge in front, you can see the dock of Nandu. Luo Sijie said with a little excitement, straightened up, and pointed to a place outside the window.

Following the direction pointed by Luo Sijie, Ye Gu got up and looked, only to see that in the distance visible to the naked eye, a long bridge, as if built in the sky, from the end of the left side of Ye Gu's vision, across his eyes, leading to the right of his vision.

The long bridge is very wide, not to mention the feudal period of the Flame Empire a hundred years ago, that is, the current steam age, and its technical and manpower difficulty is also one of the best in the continent.

"How long is that bridge?" asked Ye Gu as he stretched out his head to look up at the long bridge.

"My lord, haven't you been to Nandu before?" Before Luo Sijie could answer, Luo Qi, who was beside him, asked with a kind mockery.

However, before Ye Gu could answer, he was picked up by Luo Sijie's ears and brought to the side.

"Don't be rude to adults. Luo Sijie taught this Luo Qi word by word, and gently pushed him to the side.

After all, this was just a joke between Luo Sijie and Luo Qi, although he was taught a lesson by Luo Sijie, Luo Qi just smiled mischievously, and immediately sat aside.

And Ye Gu, although he didn't hear Luo Sijie's answer, still looked at the long bridge and couldn't extricate himself.

This kind of long bridge, which belonged to the steam age, was difficult to build in the north or west of the empire, and only the economic center of the empire like Nandu was suitable for such a building.

"My lord, this bridge was built by our Nandu Luo family and the empire, and it is called Gudu Bridge, which is taken from the meaning of communication in the south capital of Guhe. As you can see, on the side of the valley city, the valley river is only a thousand meters at most, and in the valley town it is even narrower, only more than 600 meters. And now on the side of Nandu, it has reached 3,500 meters. This long bridge, which traverses the two major districts of the southern capital, was built with a length of at least 3,600 meters. From the beginning of the empire's technological rise, our Luo family has been building, until ten years ago, a total of thirty years. However, after the construction of the city, the city of Nandu also doubled in size, and the transportation of goods and personnel from the two urban districts only took one train. ”

Hearing this, Ye Gu retracted his head into the cabin and continued to ask Luo Sijie: "Is there such a long bridge in the lowest reaches of the valley river?"

"No, the bottom of the valley river leads directly to the open sea. There is only one Jiangfu further down, which belongs to the seaside commercial town, and the basic ocean trade goes from this side, but there is no need to build it like this anymore. Luo Sijie replied.

"Shall we cross the Long Bridge later?" asked Ye Gu again in confusion.

"Yes, after our ship docks at the dock, there will be people from our Luo family to help receive us. At that time, Luo Qi and the others will accompany us into the center of the southern capital, and the others will repair the ship and stay on the shore. After all, Ye Mingyuan also caused us so many losses this time. Alas. Luo Sijie replied with a sigh.

Hearing Luo Sijie say this, Ye Gu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but it was not good to say anything more. He could only walk out of the small cabin where he was located, push the door forward, and enter the middle part of the middle where Zhou Yangwu commanded the ship to advance.

Ye Mingyuan, who was rescued by Ye Gu, was lying in the center of the cabin at this time, directing the Demon Source Stone of the ship to advance.

In the three days since Gu Lizhen re-transformed into a human, Ye Mingyuan has maintained a lying unconscious posture and has never moved.

Fortunately, with the dual protection of Ye Gu and Luo Sijie, otherwise Ye Mingyuan had killed so many Luo family personnel in this time, and Luo Qi and Zhou Yangwu would have slaughtered him.

Seeing Ye Gu come in and walk to Ye Mingyuan's side, Zhou Yangwu was obviously angry, and complained to Ye Gu: "Isn't the dragon a scourge of the mainland? Since this kid is a dragon, it is better to slaughter him and save him from harming others." Oh no, he's already scourged so many innocent people. Now you still have to bring him into Nandu, I don't know what Miss and you two think. But seeing that you are only seventeen or eighteen now, you are already an imperial general, such a great future, if you send this kid in to save his life at that time, it is really not worth it. ”

"Uncle, you can't say that. If I don't save him, your Luo family and the Lin family will get into trouble, and they won't be able to end at all. At that time, I didn't know who your family was paying attention to, but I could think of using a rebellion to attract the attention of the imperial capital to delay Longqing. Look at it, now that Ankeshan in the west has become a king, the emperor's Longqing can't be delayed. This time, I chose to come to Nandu with Ye Mingyuan, just to let you Luo family patriarch and the number two person of the Lin family take a look, I think, for the dragon, this dragon boy, there will definitely be a way to check and balance. Ye Gu replied, and there was also a sense of responsibility and firmness between his words.

"Hmph, I don't know anything else, but we've experienced the power of dragons. Twenty years of rebellion in the former town of Tanari was caused by the royal family's desire for dragon power. The power of this dragon is a desire, and once you get into it, it will infinitely magnify that little thing in your heart. Whoever gets this kid will probably covet his power, rather than choose to use him to fight against the dragons and seek peace. Zhou Yangwu advised Lin Gu in a gentle tone.

However, Ye Gu just shook his head and did not argue anything. He knew very well to himself that his desires were nothing more than a loyalty to the Empire and nothing else. For himself, he didn't need the power of a dragon either. As for the matter of power, he has a clear heart, what is his is his, and even if it is not his, even if he asks for it, he will not be able to protect it for a long time.

And now, all he has to worry about is the little emperor of the Flame Empire. After all, there were only fifteen days left before Long Qing, in other words, he couldn't stay in Nandu for more than four days this time.
