Chapter 477: Treasure Ship
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lin Yuan became the water governor of Shangfuzhou, and he was forced to put him on top when the blood flowed in the previous years. But Lan Xin felt that the emperor simply used the blood of his predecessors to pave the way for him. Fuzhou is the border of the Great Sect Dynasty, and to defend Fuzhou is to guard the gate of the Great Sect Dynasty. How could the emperor leave the door to an untrustworthy person?!
In addition, Lan Xin thought of Lin's grandfather, Old Man Lin, the old dean of Xiashan Academy. Almost all of the civil officials in the Dazong Dynasty came from the Xiashan Academy. It can be said that when Old Man Lin raised his arms, almost half of the civil officials in the court would follow suit. If it weren't for the emperor's henchmen, would such an influential person be kept alive? Thinking about it like this, Lan Xin felt that Old Man Lin founded this academy back then, and there was another hidden reason. Or maybe it's a secret order.
Lan Xin was distracted here, and the fleet over there had already been inspected. The Yu family's fleet slowly moved forward, and Lin Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, with his hands behind his back, watching the fleet leave the harbor with an expressionless face, but a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Lan Xin stood at the bow of the ship, until the entire harbor turned into a small black dot and could not be seen at all, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at the vast expanse of the sea. Seeing the calm and waveless sea again, Lan Xin's heart no longer had the apprehension of the last time he went to sea, but there was more expectation in the calm. I don't have the chance to see my parents in this life, maybe this is the only way to remember.
It was night, and the sky was full of stars. The lights in the cabin were all extinguished, except for the wind lamps on the flagpole, which shook gently and cast halos of light. "Goo, goo!" The silence of the night was broken by the calls of several seabirds.
Lu Zhendong opened his eyes vigilantly and listened attentively to the movement outside. He could clearly tell that the voice was not the voice of a real seabird. In the darkness, he took the sword in his hand and quickly wrapped himself in his clothes and walked out. He was going to go out and see what was going on outside, so that he wouldn't be caught off guard by the beatings.
As soon as Lu Zhendong's hand touched the doorknob, he heard Red Sleeves knock on the opposite hatch. After Lan Xin opened the door, Red Sleeves whispered, "Girl, Fifth Uncle Han is here." He asked the slave to inform the maid that the guest had come to visit. ”
"Well, let him bring people into the hall. I'll be over in a moment. Lan Xin commanded softly. After the red sleeves agreed to retreat, Lan Xin glanced at the closed hatch opposite, she knew that the movement here had already woken Lu Zhendong up. It's just that she didn't plan to hide it from him, so she instructed Bai Aya and said, "You go and inform Young Master Lu and let him go to the hall with me." ”
"Yes, girl!" Bai Aya agreed, walked to Lu Zhendong's cabin door, and knocked on the door gently. After whispering Lan Xin's words, he came back to serve Lan Xin to change clothes.
And Lu Zhendong, who was behind the hatch, when he heard the voice of the red sleeves, he carefully slowed down his movements, and even restrained his breathing. Just stand quietly behind the door and wait. After listening to Lan Xin's instructions clearly, his heart almost jumped out with excitement. Lan Xin didn't think about hiding it from herself, which shows that she still has a certain status in Lan Xin's heart.
After Lan Xin and Lu Zhendong appeared in the hall, they saw the two people next to Han Wu, saw the tightly wrapped cloaks on the two of them, and knew that the two of them had come to say hello. greeted with a smile: "Lan Yi, Xiongfei, it's really been a long time!" ”
Lan Yi and Xiongfei hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the girl, the girl has always been good?" ”
"I'm fine!" Lan Xin said with a smile, pointing to Lu Zhendong and introducing, "This is Young Master Lu." ”
Lan Yi and Xiongfei glanced at each other, quickly exchanged a look, bowed and saluted, "I've seen Young Master Lu." There was a bit of respect in his voice. This person can appear next to the girl, and there is an intimacy in the behavior of the two, so it is not difficult to guess the side of this person.
Lan Xin smiled and introduced to Lu Zhendong: "Lan Yi and Xiongfei have been sailing at sea for many years and are very experienced. The last time I went to sea, I was also thanks to the help of the two of them! You've seen it too. ”
"Yes, last time, thanks to their timely appearance, I didn't suffer too much at the hands of pirates." Lu Zhendong said with a smile. From the moment he entered the hall, he looked at the two men quietly. Although the two have converged, Lu Zhendong can still detect the ruthlessness and fierce momentum of the two. And the two of them are hard stubble, if the two join forces, they are not completely sure.
But looking at their unconsciously and respectful respect for Lan Xin, they know that these two people are definitely not as simple as partners. But that's okay, with these two people, Lan Xin also has an extra guarantee. Thinking of this, my attitude towards them is much gentler.
After a few pleasantries, they made an appointment to meet tomorrow. Han Wu personally sent Lan Yi and Xiongfei off the boat.
The next morning, after Lan Xin and Lu Zhendong finished breakfast, they stood on the deck together to watch the scenery. For Lan Yi and Xiongfei, Lan Xin only explained that the two lived on an unnamed island and did not like to come into contact with the outside world. Because the ancestors of the Yu family had been kind to the ancestors of the two families, they were willing to come over to help when Lan Xin went to sea.
Lu Zhendong didn't really want to get to the bottom of it, Lan Xin was willing to explain to him, and he was happy. The two of them stood on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the sparkling sea, and even if they didn't say anything, they felt happy in their hearts.
"That island up front is where we're going to moor, right?" Looking at the faint island in front of him, Lu Zhendong asked in a deep voice.
"yes, we're going to park these boats on the island. Go out to sea in a big boat. Lan Xin smiled at the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice. She really can't wait to see what the ship looks like now with the drawings sent by the Qingfeng Tunnel Chief? But thinking about the excitement of the Mo patriarch after seeing the drawings, the ship must have been built must be unusual.
"Oh, Lan Xin, look at it, what is that, like a ship and more like a building." Lu Zhendong pointed to the behemoth in the distance and said. At the same time, there was also an exclamation from the ship, apparently shocked by the treasure ship not far away.
I saw that the big ship in front of me was as tall as a building, with a wide bottom tip, a high head and tail, and a guard plate on both sides. If you count carefully, you can see that there are four floors on the whole ship. The length of the whole ship is about 40 zhang, and the width is also 18 zhang.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes staring straight at the "behemoth" in front of them, and they couldn't say a word of surprise.
