Chapter 46 - A Shallow Sleep, Not Drunk 02

The Yellow Dragon, although the name is loud, this battleship has not made any amazing achievements. Because www.biquge.info of this, the 'spirit' of this building ship has not been inherited by subsequent ships, but has been carried out with the old charm and tradition, adding a different color to the festival. The refurbished wooden structure now looks a little pompous, with ornate wood carvings and the bow symbolizing the head of the nation's dragon and the 'Sun and Moon Flag' fluttering on the top of the mast, which was used for trade in the Age of Navigation and is now used as the national flag.

Although the ship was built for war purposes, it is now embarrassing. The sailors in the cabins are ready, the bright dragon lanterns tower over the middle of the deck, and the sea lantern flotilla headed by the Yellow Dragon is about to embark on its second journey of the year - the first is at the beginning of the new year, which is different from the international Gregorian calendar, and the 'New Year' festival of the Ming Empire is about February in the Gregorian calendar.

"Lao Li, where did you say the company commander went? I haven't been in contact for a week, and Old Man Zhu doesn't bring a letter of approval. ”

Under the Huanglong, which was about to set sail, two soldiers in civilian clothes exchanged ears. Maybe they did a good job of concealment, or maybe they didn't have anything similar to the soldiers at all, and no one could see that they were actually a member of the Ming Empire's 'Shenji Battalion'.

"How do I know, hmph, Old Man Zhu has never been so mysterious, as if you had seen the emperor. Li Xiaolan snorted coldly.

The people who served the emperor directly did not see the emperor's true face, and this ridiculous thing really happened to them. In private, without a trace of respect, he called the emperor 'Old Man Zhu', if he was discovered by the people of Dongchang, they would inevitably eat a prison meal at best, but the ruffians of the Shenji Battalion have not changed since the last battalion commander, and the emperor has also kept silent on this matter, which can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence.

Even if the power of Dongchang is monstrous, it has to obey the Ming Empire, not to mention that as long as Zhu Yuanfang makes a word, Dongchang will have to be dissolved. Even if it is only on the surface, it is impossible for Dongchang to really dare to do anything to the institutions directly under Emperor Ming.

"Da Mo, do you think the company commander will go abroad?" Li Xiaolan thought for a while, and then came to such a conclusion, "Look, at the age of 14, she became the company commander of our third company, even if this kind of thing is put in any country, it is an unprecedented thing, I don't think other people will think about it, will she be on a secret mission?"

Confidential mission? Zhang Damo thought about it, it was not impossible. However, although Liao Xueqing's achievements in all aspects are excellent, she knows nothing about firearms, and she firmly believes in traditional martial arts, which is a common problem for many foreign scholars in the Ming Empire. In fact, Li Xiaolan is also a person who practices martial arts, he understands the importance of understanding firearms, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, which is also the truth.

It's hard to guarantee that she won't suffer from this kind of thing again, and many people in the third company think so. But even if they were holding the latest cutting-edge firearms developed by the Ming Empire, they would not be able to go a few rounds under the hands of that company commander, so they had to let her suffer in this area first.

"Lao Li, do you see, does that little girl look like a company commander?" Da Mo turned his elbow around Lao Li and pointed to the boarding gate of the ship in front of him.

"Well, it's quite similar, just as natural and beautiful as that little girl, you see, the family crest on the sword is exactly the same... That's the company commander!"

The two did not rush forward to claim their company commander, but observed the surroundings. The two noticed the silver-haired girl and the daughter she was holding behind Liao Xueqing, as well as the black-haired girl.

"Hey, isn't that woman a red card for the Golden Jade Lock?" said Da Mo, pointing to the black-haired girl.

"Indeed, I still remember that my name was Zhu Xia, and I saw her when I went there last week, how could the company commander be with her?" Li Xiaolan thought of one thing, "Isn't the 'Golden Jade Lock' secretly invested by the Ministry of Rites? That girl may be a traitor or a descendant of the previous dynasty, so it is theoretically impossible to leave there?"

"You don't know this, Miss Zhuxia went to the "Golden Jade Lock" by herself," Da Mo proudly showed off his 'knowledge', "I remember that she seems to be the daughter of a big man, a few years ago when Liaodong self-defense/counterattack, the train her family took was affected by the artillery fire of the Qing army, I remember that in the end, only she and another foreign girl survived... Yes, it's silver-haired, I see. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaolan said without a word, and he carefully observed the people around him, paying attention to any suspicious characters.

"Maybe it's because her relatives have scraped the family property, but the silver-haired girl who survived with Miss Nagisa is not like her who has a little money to pay for the medical bills, so she goes to that kind of place to find money, I really can't think of what a little girl of that age can do. ”

"Build a submarine or be the commander of the third company of the Shenji Battalion. Li Xiaolan couldn't help but spit out

This sentence is stuffed into the desert and there is nothing to say. The captain of the Hunter Department is only 13 years old, and the company commander of his own family is only 14 years old, but these people are a minority after all, even if they are both civil and military, they are only 'uncommon' in the Ming Empire. In this well-deserved No. 1 empire in the world, it is impossible to get out of the category of ordinary people even if they are simply 'excellent'.

Only the top, the pinnacle, can stand on the top of the Forbidden City. Even around the world, there is a saying: 'The first in the Ming Empire is the first in the world'. This statement is definitely not accurate enough, Li Xiaolan and the others just laughed when they heard such words, they are the people who know the Ming Empire best, the capital of the Ming Empire at the top of the world, not craftsmen, nor force, but the emperor.

The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty of the prosperous era, the rich Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty with the most extensive territory, no matter which one they are, they are inseparable from the Emperor of the Kai Dynasty. The Ming Empire's rumored 'Emperor Ming is a monster' is not groundless, the Ming Empire's several emperors so far, any one of whom must be with the emperor of the Kai Dynasty, is not inferior, and since the Kai Dynasty Emperor, there has been a wonderful scene of 'listening to the government from generation to generation'.

And according to the father-in-law of the harem, the prince born by the concubine will be sent to a 'distant place' by the emperor at some point, in fact, the emperor has not changed at all.

There is also a saying that the emperor found the immortal medicine left by the 'Xu Fu' who had gone to find medicine on Penglai Island, and Emperor Ming is now an immortal existence, which of course can explain why there is no news about Emperor Ming's assassination today, when people in various countries are vying to 'captive' the ability to be spies.

The most convincing statement is that Emperor Ming is also a 'capable person'. Cultivated by his father since he was a child, he formed a friendship with many monsters, and issued a decree on monsters, so that monsters could settle in the Ming Empire. As a matter of fact... There are monsters in the secret service agencies of the Ming Empire, and although the monsters do not hold important positions, they are more loyal than them in the Shenji Battalion.

It's hard to understand, but... Perhaps it is really as the folk legend goes, Emperor Ming really has an indissoluble bond with monsters.

"Lao Li, isn't that guy a problem 'child' in Xichang? Why is she here? and she is still wearing such a conspicuous outfit?" Da Mo pointed to a girl with short hair wearing a strange skirt and the uniforms of sailors from some foreign countries who boarded the ship with Liao Xueqing and the others in front.

"How the would I know, keep up, if the matter of 'that adult' is also on the Yellow Dragon is exposed, then we are finished!"

The two hurriedly followed, stopping the girl who was dressed strangely and wore large black-rimmed glasses.

"Dead fox, why are you here?" Li Xiaolan said viciously to her.

"Oh, isn't this Deputy Li from the Third Company of the Shenji Battalion? What a coincidence, I can see you here. "The girl pretended to be a 'chance encounter with an old friend', and her acting skills were really bad.

But both of them knew that she did it on purpose. The notoriety of this demon has long spread overseas, and a member of the Tushan Clan's Yokai clan, which takes pleasure in playing tricks, usually spreads its notoriety in various casinos.

"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell are you here for?"

It's not that the two of them have any dislike for this monster, it's just that at this moment, they are really quite anxious.

"Since I'm here, it means something, you members of the Divine Machine Battalion, don't listen to the wind and rain, you are still too.young, too.sample. I have no comment, and you are not pleased. As an elder, I need to teach you some life lessons, and you still have to learn to make a fortune with a muffled voice. ”

“... Is that something we can't know?" Li Xiaolan grimaced, looking very unhappy.

"I've been through a lot of battles, I've seen a lot, you go to the shore to be on guard, and if you have any questions, I'll contact you immediately. The girl replied with a thumbs up.

After all, the Shenji Battalion is not a spy organization, and in addition to the task of guarding the Yellow Dragon this time, they were not given other tasks, and the two of them were not easy to interfere with, so they had to watch the girl disappear into the flow of people boarding the Yellow Dragon.

"Contact the battalion commander immediately, and we'll leave the rest alone. ”

Li Xiaolan made a decision immediately.

"Can this ship go into the sea? It looks like it was blown away by a storm. The voice of a foreign tourist came from the side, and the two of them were attracted by the sound and forgot about the past.

I saw a blonde girl holding a little girl with green hair, watching the Yellow Dragon from the shore.

"Of course not, that's why they're eliminated, what about them on the Sixteenth Night? Do you see it? It's too bright on deck to see clearly... There you have it, there it is. ”

Seeing the blonde tourist waving hello to Liao Xueqing on the boat, the two of them were startled and immediately walked towards the two tourists.

Li Xiaolan showed her identity certificate and said to her:

"Hello, excuse me, can you take a step to talk?"
