PS: Thank you for the 100 coin reward support from the Emperor of the Haihua Empire!

In the eastern part of the Malay Peninsula, the convoy from Songkhla is heading south at a constant speed.

On the big boat in the center of the fleet, Wu Lingxuan and the maid Xiaolan stood at the bow of the boat together, staring curiously at the flying fish that jumped out of the sea from time to time and pointed.

"Miss, look, there are so many fish on the sea!"

The maid Xiaolan pointed to the fish that jumped out of the sea in front of her.

"Let me see."

Wu Lingxuan turned around, took a few steps forward to the maid Xiaolan, and stood on tiptoe to look at the sea.

"There are so many fish!" Wu Lingxuan opened her small mouth in surprise, waved her little hand and said, "They can fly!" ”

"Yes, yes," Lan nodded vigorously and echoed, "I just saw their wings, they have wings, so they can fly." ”

"No, how can a fish have wings if it lives in the sea?"

After Wu Lingxuan's curiosity, he wondered.

"They're not flying, they're gliding."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Wu Lingxuan didn't need to look back to tell who the owner of the voice was.

"Second brother, what do you mean by gliding?"

Wu Lingxuan asked incomprehensibly.

"Gliding is when certain objects do not rely on power, but use the buoyancy of the air and the interaction of their own gravity to float in the air."

"What is air and gravity?"

The more Wu Lingxuan listened, the more confused she became, and complained, "Brother, what you said is so profound, I can't even understand it." ”

Wu Shi'an just wanted to explain to his sister, but when he heard her complaint, he smiled slightly, "Gravity and buoyancy are both terms in Western science, and you haven't studied science with foreigners, so of course you can't understand it." ”

"Brother, did these things be taught to you by the foreign devils in the Lion City?"

Wu Lingxuan asked.

"Not exactly." Wu Shi'an shook his head and explained, "The foreigner school in the Lion City mainly teaches foreign languages, and I learned gravity and buoyancy from books. ”

"Well, I understand, no wonder the second brother often takes a boat to Quang Ninh Province in Annam, and it turns out that he borrowed books from Lord Liang."

Wu Lingxuan said suddenly.

"Lord Liang was an instructor in the provinces of Quang Ninh and Lang Son in northern Annam, and he had many books shipped from the Han mainland.

So when Brother Wei visited Lord Liang, he asked for a few books by the way. ”

Wu Shi'an explained: "Speaking of Liang Xing, Lord Liang and Little Sister, you also have a bit of a relationship, and your marriage with His Majesty the King of Han was made up of Lord Liang and several adults. ”

"Hmph, who is rare for him to match." Wu Lingxuan pursed her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied, "I don't want to get married so early, it's all my fault for meddlers!" ”

"Hehe, my little sister didn't say that when she saw the letter sent by His Majesty King Han, I remember that my little sister was very satisfied with His Majesty King Han at that time." Wu Shi'an smiled lightly and teased his sister.

For the first time in two lives, Li Mingyuan is facing the major event of starting a family and getting married, and Li Mingyuan attaches great importance to it like traditional Chinese men, so when he decided to marry Wu Lingxuan as the king of Han, Li Mingyuan carefully prepared a small gift for his future wife.

In addition to some jewelry and ornaments suitable for little girls in later generations, there is also a set of photos recording Li Mingyuan's inspection of the army and commanding operations, as well as a handwritten letter.

The letters and gifts were delivered to Songkhla more than ten days ago, and when she saw the image of the handsome man in the photo and the words of relief in the letter like a big brother next door, Wu Lingxuan's original resistance to marriage quickly disappeared.

Marrying Li Mingyuan is not a decision that Wu Lingxuan can influence, but when she learned from the envelope and photos that her future husband was an ideal candidate in line with the girl's fantasy, Wu Lingxuan naturally felt fortunate and satisfied with her future fate, so during the long journey to Han, her mood became cheerful and lively again.

"I don't have it." Wu Lingxuan pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and said shyly.

"Miss, what the second young master said is right, you smiled happily last time with the photo sent by His Royal Highness King Han, I saw it all."

The maid Xiaolan interjected at an inopportune time.

"Stinky girl, let you talk too much, see if I don't teach you a good lesson!"

Wu Lingxuan was so shy that her little face turned red, and she no longer answered Wu Shi'an's words, and chased Xiaolan to make trouble.

"Be careful, don't go to the edge of the bow."

Wu Shi'an looked like a sister who would never grow up, and reminded carefully.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll be careful."

On the other side, Wu Lingxuan caught up with the maid Xiaolan, and the two responded while fighting. ……

The weather at sea changed rapidly, and the fleet moved forward more than ten kilometers on the sea, and the blue sky was covered by dark clouds, and the calm sea also set off waves.

"Miss, it's going to rain, let's hurry back to the cabin!"

The two had a fight, and Xiaolan looked at the changing weather around her and reminded.

"Well, let's go."

Wu Lingxuan responded, holding the long skirt blown by the wind with her hand, and walked carefully towards the cabin.

"Boom!" A loud bang sounded on the dark cloudy sea, and Wu Lingxuan was startled by the sudden loud noise, and her feet slipped and fell on the deck.

"Miss, are you alright? Did it hurt anywhere? ”

Wu Lingxuan suddenly fell, and Xiaolan, the maid beside her, and the soldiers on duty on the deck immediately rushed to help her up.

"I'm fine, I just fell." Wu Lingxuan rubbed her slender right leg, frowned and said, "The sky has not completely darkened, and the thunder has begun, and the weather at sea is really strange." ”

"Miss Wu, it was the sound of cannons just now, not the sound of thunder, the captain has ordered the fleet to remain vigilant, you are not safe here, you should hurry back to the cabin."

An officer-looking sailor reminded.

"Cannons? Is there going to be a war? ”

Wu Lingxuan muttered a whisper, and quickly reacted.

"Xiaolan, it's going to be a war, let's go back to the cabin, don't delay the big things of the troops."

"Okay, miss, I'll help you back."

The maid Xiaolan nodded obediently, took Wu Lingxuan's right hand, and helped her back to the cabin under the escort of five or six soldiers.

"Major Zhong, where is the sound of cannons?"

Coming out of the cabin, Wu Shi'an came to the command room at the front of the deck and asked Zhong Shao, the commander of the escort fleet.

"The weather environment at sea is too poor, and the strength of the other side is not clear for the time being, and we need to wait for the patrol ships to return to get the details."

Zhong Shao replied.

"Could it be a foreigner's fleet? Will my sister be in danger? ”

Wu Shi'an said worriedly.

"Wu Gongzi, rest assured, Miss Wu is the queen of His Majesty the King of Han, even if the fleet is wiped out, Miss Wu's safety will definitely be guaranteed!"

In the face of the sudden change, although Zhong Shao was also uneasy in his heart, his face still remained calm, "The fleet is about two hundred kilometers away from the Natuna Islands, I have ordered two light patrol ships to break away from the fleet and rush to the Natuna Islands to report the situation here, and there are four medium-sized armed steamships on the sea in the direction of the Natuna Islands, if the battle situation deteriorates, I will personally order Miss Wu to be transferred to the armed steamship, and Miss Wu will definitely not be in danger." ”

"Little sister's safety is on Major Zhong."

Hearing the other party's assurance, Wu Shi'an relaxed slightly, and then sincerely bowed to Zhong Shao.

"The density of artillery in the eastern sea is limited, I estimate that their strength is not comparable to that of the escort fleet, they should not be coming for the escort fleet, Wu Gongzi will wait for a while with peace of mind."

Zhong Shao comforted Wu Shi'an, stared carefully at the sea in front of the command room, and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, a lieutenant quickly ran into the command room and reported, "Report to the captain, the shelling ship in front is our South China Sea garrison, and they are clearing out the pirates who attacked the mining area of Taiping Island, and the report is complete!" ”

"Do they need support from our fleet?"

"The commander of the South China Sea garrison fleet reports that the remnants of the pirates have been besieged, and the battle can be resolved within ten minutes, and there is no need for support from our fleet!"

"Order the fleet to be alerted to danger, and send two armed steamships to the eastern seas to participate in the battle, and be sure to destroy all the pirates!"

After a false alarm, although the South China Sea garrison fleet did not need the support of the escort fleet, Zhong Shao still had a sense of anger in his heart, so he decided to send two ships to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the pirates.
