The sea in early spring is a harsh one.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the oncoming sea breeze expresses a biting chill and tells the ferocity of the sea.

Call~

Gongsun Du spit out a white smoke and said with a happy face: "Finally, it's coming!" ”

Immediately, Gongsun Du turned around and said to Xun Yu beside him: "Gongda, look over there, that's Yujin!" ”

"Huh? Is this to Liaodong? Xun You raised his eyes to look at the black shadow in the distance and exclaimed.

Gongsun Du nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! ”

"My lord, my subordinates will inform Zhicai and them, I think they will be pleasantly surprised when they know about it."

Regarding Xun You's proposal, Gongsun Du had no choice but to agree directly.

Shortly after Gongsun Du resigned from office, Xun You also resigned from Xiaohuangmen's official position. Originally, Gongsun Du wanted to leave with Xun You, but Zhang Rang's approach made him feel uneasy, and he left first, but the waterway was much slower than the land route, so under the guidance of Qiao Yanglou, he finally met in Donglai, boarded the battleship together, and returned to Liaodong.

Living on land for a long time, most people will get seasick. However, it is strange to say that Xi Zhong and Guo Jia traveled east by boat with Gongsun Du for a day or two, it stands to reason that they should have been used to it, but they didn't expect to get seasick again when they got to the sea, and they vomited so much that it was so miserable!

Even with it, Cai Yan also felt unwell and a little seasick.

What's strange is that Xun You didn't have anything to do at all, and he was alive and well. Even, Gongsun Du had an idea: Do you want to get this guy into the water army?

But then, Gongsun Du vetoed this idea, and now there are not many times when the water army is used, and then you have to ask which of the Three Kingdoms water army is strong, it is Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang! Zhou Yu is almost at the age of becoming a monk now, and after teaching for a while, he can be put into the navy to sharpen, and maybe there will be a more powerful Mei Zhou Lang than in his memory!

"It's just that what about this little Joe?"

Gongsun Du didn't want to ruin this beautiful marriage, but thinking about this beauty who left a name in history, his heart was also a little restless, how to fix it?

While pondering, Guo Jia and Xi Zhong staggered and hurried over.

"Lord, has it really arrived?"

Guo Jia is the youngest, although he is extremely intelligent and seems to be extremely stable in Pingsuri, he still seems extremely excited at this time and shouts first.

Although Xi Zhong did not speak, his pale face was also full of surprise and a little disbelief.

"Over there, see for yourselves!"

Gongsun Du smiled and pointed to the distance and said, then took the telescope and said, "Maybe it's far away, you can't see it clearly, you can use this to try." ”

Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Du eagerly when he heard this, and saw that Xun You and Xi Zhong also turned their eyes, and walked a few steps forward and said, "Lord, subordinates try it first?" ”

Gongsun Du handed it over with a smile, and then pointed out how Guo Jia should use it.

"Wow...... This, this, this ......"

Guo Jia was so frightened at first glance that he almost didn't hold the telescope steady, but then he grabbed the telescope tightly and continued to look into the distance with a shout.

This made Xun You and Xi Zhong, who were already curious, even more curious.

Guo Jia also knew about things, and he didn't occupy the telescope all the time, but just gave way after a few more glances, and then Xi Zhong and Xun You tried it one after another.

Even with Guo Jia's experience, the two of them had some preparations, but they were also shocked.

"The lord is really a god and a man!" At the end, Xi Zhong sighed.

"Haha!" Gongsun Du laughed and said, "This is not the work of one person, most of it is attributed to the craftsmen who built the ship, and it is not their exquisite skills that there is such a majestic warship." ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Du raised his hand and slapped the side of the boat a few times.

Xi Zhong nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "The lord's words are true, however, Zhong firmly believes that if it weren't for the lord's actions, absolutely no one would have thought that Donglai would be able to reach Liaodong directly." ”

"That's right!" Xun You and Guo Jia nodded approvingly.

Gongsun Du smiled and acquiesced to the matter.

Xi Zhong looked at the gradually approaching port of Yujin in the distance, thought for a while, and said: "Lord, with this waterway, there will be more choices when the lord's soldiers enter the Central Plains in the future, but the battleship is huge, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered, besides, the subordinates can deduce from the side details that the lord is doing the waterway, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be noticed by others. ”

"Hahaha, what Zhicai said is extremely true, however, Donglai has already entered the urn!" Gongsun Du laughed.

"The lord is wise!"

In fact, how could he not have imagined that Gongsun Du had taken Donglai under his control, and it could be inferred from what he had seen in Donglai before, so he just wanted to remind Gongsun Du that it was impossible to hide it, especially those big families. Gongsun Du also understood what he meant, but his hearty laughter revealed a strong self-confidence, which put Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, and Xun You at ease.

"Sir!" Cai Yan's weak voice suddenly interjected.

Gongsun Du followed the prestige, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Xi Zhong and the others were about to retreat, and hurriedly beckoned to Cai Yan, and said at the same time: "Let's wait together, it won't be long before we arrive." ”

The three of them hesitated, but they really wanted to see the situation in Liaodong for the first time, so they finally agreed: "Yes, thank you, lord!" ”

"It's okay!"

Gongsun Du said a word, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and move a few folding stools." ”

The folding stool, inspired by the chairs of the craftsman's workshop, was made in combination with the board table, which was specially used for the rest and eating of the naval soldiers on the warship. The advantage is that the size is small after folding, and the weight is much lighter than the chair, which is very suitable for use on the battleship, after all, although the battleship is large, the space and load are limited, which can save a little, is a little.

"Master, the concubine is rude!" Cai Yan felt that he had come at an inopportune time, so he hurriedly said to Gongsun Du, and then owed a slight debt to Xi Zhong and others.

"I was going to call you when I got closer, but now that I'm out, let's take a look." Gongsun Du didn't care about this, just said so.

As he spoke, the soldiers had already folded the stacked stools and sent them over, led by Gongsun Du, each of them put one on the deck, and sat down one after another, looking at the gradually approaching Jinjin.

The first time Xi Zhong and the others met, they were very curious and not bored. Gongsun Du has seen a lot of times, but he has also been aroused, he has been away from Liaodong for almost four years, and he also misses Zhang Zhi and Huang Qing very much.

The weather was fine today, the wind was also very positive, and the battleship was quickly approaching the city, and even because of the howling sea breeze, when it was still about five miles away from the port of the city, the sails on the ship were lowered.

"My lord, there seems to be someone in the harbor to greet you!"

As the distance approached, the telescope could already get a rough view of the specific situation of the pier, and a large group of people were gathering on the newly built pier of the port.

When Gongsun Du heard Guo Jia's voice, his eyes froze, and he vaguely felt that the people on the dock were also looking at him intently, as if they were ......

"Master, are they sisters?" Cai Yan tried her best to hide her nervousness, but her slightly trembling delicate body revealed the actual situation.

"It's still a little far away and I can't really see it, but it should be." Gongsun Du grabbed Cai Yan's slender hand and said, "You don't have to be nervous, they are all very good people." ”

Guo Jia, who was listening to their conversation on the side, was a little entangled, he wanted to hand the telescope to Gongsun Du, but he was worried about disturbing the two of them, so he hesitated. Fortunately, Xi Zhong found out about his situation and shook his head slightly at him, only then was he relieved.

"Kyo~"

"Ying~"

"Lord~"

"Gong~"

"Return~"

"Come~"

As soon as Gongsun Du saw the figure on the dock, the earth-shattering shouts came, and even the wind and waves on the sea could not cover it.

"Yes! I'm finally back! ”

Gongsun Du's heart was agitated, and he tightened his small hand in his big hand.

Cai Yan felt the change and looked at Gongsun Du in surprise, but then he understood, and he couldn't help but feel nervous again.

Gongsun Du felt Cai Yan's emotional changes, and couldn't help but gently patted Cai Yan's slender hand with his other hand, but did not speak. However, it was this action that made Cai Yan relax a lot, probably in her opinion, this is Gongsun Du's support for her!

Well, of course, that's exactly what happened.

The battleship docked, and Gongsun Du took Cai Yan to get off the ship first, and the rest followed.

"Old ......".

Zhang Zhi, who was waiting in front of her, trembled her lips and couldn't say a complete word, and two lines of tears had already slipped from Xiumu and smashed on the stones on the pier.

Gongsun Du let go of Cai Yan's hand, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Zhi and Huang Qing tightly, and nodded at Xiaohuan behind him, but he didn't notice the Gongsun Yun and Gongsun Ya sisters who had covered their faces on their sides but peeked through their fingers.
