The sea is very blue, blue like a jewel, under the direct sunlight, a little golden mangs ripple with the waves, the sound of the waves, the breeze blows, from time to time there are big or small fish jumping out of the water, happily turning over and moving in the sun, and then falling back into the sea again, a good picture of the magnificent scenery of the sea with the fish jumping, the beauty is naturally needless to say, and then no matter how beautiful the scenery is to see every day, always look, it will be tiresome to the extreme, just like Lin Hu who stood indifferently at the bow of the boat at this time, although his eyes looked at the sea, But in fact, there was no sense of appreciation, and some were just worried and confused.

It's been two years, since I left Guangzhou in March of the second year of the first year, it has been a year, nine months and ten days, and the dangers during this period can only be described in one word, that is, "countless", not to mention how dangerous the unpredictable sea is, not to mention how vicious the cannibalistic life is encountered, it is enough to make people crazy on this boring voyage, these are enough, what worries Lin Hu is the huge loss- Before the expedition, a huge fleet of twelve huge ships was left after the Americas, and at this moment, there were only three of the huge fleet left, and the rest of the ships were either hit the rocks or destroyed in the storm, as for the loss of personnel, the three thousand two hundred people before the departure to now, there are only more than nine hundred people left, and half of them are lying down sick numbers, how can such losses be so heavy!

Is it worth it? This question has puzzled Lin Hu for a long time, he really can't explain it, he can't explain it, he has to pay so much price for so many plant seeds, is it cost-effective? Even if such a huge fleet does not move, it is also a huge asset, not to mention investing in the already mature Great Food Route, two years is enough to run two round-trips, and the benefits brought are as many as millions, but now, it only brings back so many seeds, no matter how this account is calculated, there is no reason to do it, at least in Lin Hu's opinion.

Let's not talk about whether it is cost-effective or not, after all, Lin Hu is still self-aware, this matter is from the decision of His Royal Highness the British King, Lin Hu in addition to resolutely implementing, but he does not dare to have half a word of complaint, how to return to his hometown as soon as possible is the practical problem that Lin Hu has to face - a month and a half ago the fleet has crossed the Java Islands, and it is indeed getting closer and closer to home, but the situation of the fleet is also getting worse and worse, especially after the sudden storm three days ago, The remaining three warships were already fundamentally injured, and now they could only sail hard, and Lin Hu didn't know how many days these three ships could hold out.

"Lord Lin, you find land ahead, it's a continent, it's a continent!"

Just when Lin Hu was dazed and worried, the shouts of surprise from the lookout post suddenly came from the tall mast.

"What?"

As soon as he heard the word "land", Lin Hu's whole person couldn't help but be shocked, his body flickered, and the person had already jumped under the mast, climbed up to the lookout with his hands and feet, raised his hand in front of his eyebrows, and looked forward, and saw it at the junction of the sea and the sky, and the shadow of the continuous mountains was faintly towering, although it was still far away, and it was impossible to see its true face, but the huge outline was by no means comparable to the island, and the heart was immediately stirred.

"Herald: Raise the sails, speed up, let's go home!"

As soon as he was sure that the land in the distance was not an island but a mainland, Lin Hu could no longer hold back the excitement of returning home, raised his hand, and roared with full energy, and in an instant, the entire fleet was jubilant, not only the sailors on duty were busy raising their sails and accelerating, but even the crew members who were sick in bed also ran to the deck excitedly, looking at the outline of the continent gradually revealed in the distance, countless tears and laughter were swaying wantonly, and the whole fleet was immersed in a carnival......

On December 25 of the first year of Yifeng, the heavy snow for three days did not stop, and the wild north wind swept the earth with goose feather-like snowflakes, and the sky was cold and frozen, although it was nearly the end of the year, but the huge eastern capital city was quite bleak, the streets and alleys were empty, and there were almost no pedestrians.

I want to leave again, the same in winter, the same snowy day, this scene is almost the same as the situation ten years ago, the difference is that the last time I left, the carriage and horses are like dragons, and the entourage is like clouds, but this time it is miserable and miserable, except for two dilapidated carriages carrying families, there is no long thing, as for the entourage, there is no one, there are just hundreds of soldiers escorted with them, this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the day, in this regard, Li Xian has long been mentally prepared, But the moment he walked out of the east gate of the eastern capital, he couldn't help but cry.

"Lord Wang, please hurry up, if you miss the hour, I'm afraid it's not a trick."

When it comes to sadness, people will always be sentimental, Li Xian stopped outside the east gate and looked back a little more, and immediately some people couldn't see it, just when Li Xian was teary-eyed, a Yulin Junlang in charge of escorting rushed to Li Xian's side, and said with an unhappy face.

"Oh, General Lao Wang has been waiting for a long time, it is all Xiao Wang's fault, and please Hai Han Ze, Xiao Wang will just leave."

Worried was interrupted, Li Xian was angry in his heart, but now he is no longer the prince of the East Palace, although he still has the name of the king of Jiangling County on his head, in fact, he is just a prisoner, how can he have a seizure, even if he is angry in his heart, he can only apologize with a forced smile, and walk towards the unknown distance without looking back.

Needless to say, the hard work of traveling in the snow is needless to say, even if it is a horse and walking, let alone on foot, poor Li Xian's body and bones are still strong, but how have he ever suffered such hardships, all the way down and down, it has been nearly an hour, but even Wuli Pavilion has not yet arrived, but people are already tired, their faces are full of hot sweat, and then they are poured by the overwhelming snow, a haggard face has been suffocated into iron blue, and the pace of travel is simply slower than climbing, at this time, Li Xian is extremely eager to have a horse to ride, but unfortunately this is just a luxury, the horses that were readily available in the past are so out of reach for Li Xian at this time, everything is just because he is now a mismatch, according to the law, he can't ride a horse, and he must walk all the way.

"Sixth brother."

Walking and going, Li Xian was already panting like a cow, dizzy, and he didn't notice that the Yulin Army in front of him who was in charge of escorting had already flashed to the side of the road, burying his head and staggering forward, and when he was embarrassed, Li Xulun, who came forward, was sad, and called softly in a trembling voice.

"Oh, it's the eighth brother, why are you here?"

Li Xian raised his head very hard, this time the person who stood in front of him was Li Xulun, first he was happy, and then his face was gloomy, obviously, even though he had fallen to the extreme, Li Xian still had a self-esteem in his heart, and he didn't want to be seen by others in his current embarrassment, but now that he was a prisoner, he was embarrassed to attack in front of everyone, so he could only ask in a light tone.

"The younger brother came to practice for the sixth brother, and the seventh brother also came, and he is marrying in the pavilion, sixth brother, please!"

Li Xulun didn't notice that Li Xian's expression was a little wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Li Xian's arm, and replied with a sad expression.

"Oh, the sixth brother is here too? Okay, let's go! ”

Li Xian can not care about Li Xulun, but he doesn't dare not care about Li Xian, who is about to enter the East Palace, this time hearing that Li Xian is also here, he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, waved his hand, broke free from Li Xulun's support, and strode towards the Wuli Pavilion not far from the road.

"Sixth brother."

Li Xian had just walked less than three zhang away from the Wuli Pavilion, and Li Xian, who was dressed in a white fox robe, had already walked out of the pavilion, ignoring the heavy snow flying in the sky, and had already come to Li Xian's side in just one step, and greeted him very politely.

"Seventh brother, for the ...... brother"

Looking at Li Xian's upright figure, Li Xian's heart was full of taste, jealousy, emotion, shame, excitement, but I didn't know what to say.

"Sixth brother, the younger brother has prepared a bottle of thin wine, which can be regarded as a practice for the sixth brother, the sixth brother, please!"

Li Xianzi knew that Li Xian's mood was complicated now, and he didn't want to say those words of comfort that were not very nutritious, so he just waved his hand politely and said yes.

"Well, I've given birth to the seventh brother."

Li Xian had been imprisoned for nearly two months, and he was already haggard, and he had traveled a long way early this morning, and he was extremely tired, and he was about to warm up his body with warm wine, so he would not refuse Li Xian's kindness, so he nodded in reply and strode towards the pavilion.

"Seventh brother, there is one thing for my brother, I wonder if the seventh brother is willing to help?"

Li Xian has never been short of money, this practice banquet is very rich, seven or eight dishes are placed on a stone table, plus a few jars of warm wine, the three brothers drink around the fireplace, do not talk about state affairs, only talk about the wind and moon, but also quite melting, when the wine and food are full, it is already the time to say goodbye, Li Xian drank the last residual wine in the bottle in one gulp, exhaled a breath of heat, his face suddenly solemnized, his eyes looked at Li Xian, and he opened his mouth with a solemn expression.

"Sixth brother, please speak, little brother just listen."

Li Xian came to practice this time, just for the friendship of all brothers, but he didn't plan to have more to do with Li Xian, of course, Li Xian would not refuse directly, but just smiled and said vaguely.

"That's good, for my brother, I want my seventh brother to kill two people!"

When Li Xian's mood was agitated, he didn't hear the perfunctory meaning of Li Xian's words, but when he saw that he gritted his teeth, he squeezed out a sentence full of murderous intent from between his teeth.

"Huh?"

Killing people is just a trivial matter for Li Xian, but it depends on who is killed, if it is to kill irrelevant people for no reason, Li Xian will not do it, even if it is entrusted by Li Xian, but Li Xian is not in a hurry to refuse, but raised his eyebrows, quietly whispered, and motioned Li Xian to continue.

"For my brother to act Meng Lang this time, the retribution is all self-inflicted, I really dare not complain about others, however, for my brother there is a grudge that can never be expressed, that is, I can't take the heads of Chen Xiaotian and Zhu Kai's two thieves, if the seventh brother is convenient, if he can do it, he will die for his brother, and he can also laugh at Jiuquan, the words have been said, it's time to go, hahaha...... Go to rest, go to rest, the sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, where to bury this body......"

As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, he didn't linger any longer, he got up with laughter, raised his feet and walked out of the Wuli Pavilion, laughed wildly and walked away in the snow, and disappeared in the heavy snow in a few moments.

"Seventh brother, sixth brother, he ......"

Since Li Xian left, Li Xian has always sat still, his expression was gloomy and a little terrifying, as soon as this situation came out, Li Xulun couldn't help it, so he tentatively opened his mouth.

"Let's go, go back to the city!"

Li Xulun couldn't hear the meaning of Li Xian's last few words, but Li Xian knew it in his heart, it was Li Xian making the final farewell, obviously, he had expected that this trip might be the end of his life, so he pinned all his hopes for the defeat of the martial arts on Li Xian's body, which meant that Li Xian understood, but he didn't plan to tell Li Xulun in detail, so he got up and strode towards the pavilion......
