342. Gone lovers

After arranging for someone to send a letter to Mavi and asking him to leave some reliable people to guard the siege of the triangle, the main force will be transferred to New Amsterdam immediately, we don't need to take care of the home for that Raleigh guy, do we?

The return trip was quite smooth. Since it was winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the number of storms was greatly reduced and safety was greatly improved.

But at the same time as it was safe, our speed was also significantly reduced due to the reduced wind speed. It took only a little more than a month to come, and it took nearly two and a half months to return!

By the time I saw the land of the British Isles, it was already extremely cold, and the sea breeze was like a knife on my face. According to the perpetual calendar, it happened to be a small year when he arrived in London.

Because after I arrived at Portsmouth, because I had been at sea for a long time, soaking, down to the sailors, and up to myself, I was already unkempt, and I was really not fit to wait for the elegant hall.

So I ordered that I be repaired on the spot for three days, and that I should be sent to contact the British navy in advance, saying that I would arrive in London in about six days.

For three days, I was almost driven crazy by the damn rainy weather in the UK! I really don't understand the psychology of those sailors who brave the rain to go to the stinking bar to drink, but I guess it's also a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, just because of the different positions.

Sitting in the living room of the "Old Mel's house" in the port, I boiled a pot of plum wine and chatted with a few people. The snacks provided by the ryokan are delicious, not too sweet, but crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and taste very good.

Adicon said that the slowest pace of life in the nearby countries is probably the United Kingdom. I've been here for a long time, but I'm afraid that even my personality will slow down.

We couldn't help but laugh, and I even thought about it seriously before I half-truthed and said, I don't want to stay in this place where I don't see the sun all year round. If I want to retire in the future, I will pick up a hundred acres of land in Manhattan and build myself a villa.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it's not like they haven't been to Manhattan, where birds don't, who wants to go!

I couldn't help but purse my lips and laugh without saying a word, what do these guys know? Where can you imagine what the future financial center of the world will look like?

Of course, they are right, at least for the next few hundred years, it will still be a relatively underdeveloped area, but it is better than the environment.

Who knows? Fate is too hard to fathom, so let's watch it as we go.

The three days passed quickly, and on the morning of the fourth day, when the rain finally stopped, we pulled up the sails again and prepared to set sail.

It was only a two-day journey, and it was a blink of an eye, and we had turned into the Thames on the morning of the third day, and sailed far away towards the harbor docks.

There were a few small boats in front of us, flying the royal flag, and they were leading the way from the moment they saw us coming, and the posture reminded me of the convoy that had opened the way in front of the previous leaders when they were on a foreign trip.

Along the banks of the Thames, we have seen countless crowds of people gathering, and suddenly remembered that it seems to be a Sunday, and these seem to be crowds that have come to greet us, but I didn't expect it to be so loud!

When we arrived at Canary Wharf, the bands that had already gathered here began to play triumphant!

Wayne Nash next to him said excitedly: "Captain! It's the Queen's welcome ceremony! There's the Queen's guard of honour, and it's the highest level of welcome! Oh! I didn't expect to be in such a team, what an honor! ”

I laughed twice and said, "You're doing a good job, Wayne, and you can stay with me for a long time if you want."

Wayne Nash's eyes flashed with excitement, then he calmed down and saluted me sincerely, "I'll report to my superiors!" But that's the equivalent of leaving the military...... This is also the premise of better service! ”

I nodded, didn't say anything more, and patted him the shoulder.

When we lowered the ladder and walked down the dock from the ship, Jack Bravo was the first to greet me, and after giving me a handshake between gentlemen and nobles, he laughed and said, "Your Excellency! Welcome to your triumph! ”

Naturally, I smiled and complimented each other. Jack Bravo said a few words, and immediately led us to the queen Luan in the back of the flag.

Soon, I met Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was under heavy protection, and Isabel, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and had an excited face.

At this time, the two of them were smiling at me, and I was calm and respectful, walked forward and bowed, and said loudly: "Sun Qilan, Count of Parcival, has returned from the new land, and I hereby give you my life!"

The queen smiled gracefully and stood up, and took a step forward, and she should have raised her hands and motioned for me to stand upβ€”for the courtier should bow to him on one knee, and I and I bowed, which made her uncomfortable.

But in view of my status as an honorary earl, it seemed reasonable for me to do so, and continued to smile, and said in her characteristic way: "My warrior! Your deeds have been sung in the land of England! Your bravery will be a model for knights! Welcome back! ”

She paused, then continued, "My warrior! I'm glad you came back safely! When he said this, his voice was already much lower, and it seemed that the meaning of personal was stronger.

I immediately bowed again and said, "It's my pleasure to serve you!" Her Majesty! ”

Elizabeth I said happily: "Oh! Is it? Do you really think so? ”

I was a little stunned and said, "That's nature"!

Elizabeth I smiled again in her eyes before she said to me, "I have heard of your great deeds from Raleigh, but I still want to hear you say it again?" After all, you know yourself best, don't you? ”

I smiled and said, "I hope you'll give me that chance!" Her Majesty! ”

The queen immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Tonight, I've got a welcome reception for you at the Palace of Westminster! You'll have a chance to report back then! ”

I immediately bowed down.

This was followed by a very short welcome ceremony, in which the Queen spoke in a very incendiary tone to the citizens of London who had come to see the ceremony, and the fact that great England was the chosen nation, which was very incendiary, and the citizens of London cheered.

After the grand welcome, the Queen's guard of honour went back to the Palace of Westminster, while I returned to my villa at Stamford Bridge.

I'm really anxious, and when I come back this time, what I want to know most is the situation of the kite. This silly girl doesn't know what's going on, has it gotten better? And I also brought her a lot of gifts from Xinda*Lu, and of course, gifts for Arashi.

But when I entered, the butler was already waiting for me at the door, and when he saw me, he was full of excitement, but at the same time there seemed to be an indescribable melancholy on his face.

My countenance slowly cooled, and an indescribably bad thought suddenly appeared in my heart!

No! No, it won't! Definitely not! So, I asked in a voice that almost trembled, "What about the kite?" Where are the kites? ”

As I spoke, cold sweat flowed down my back, and I even resisted hearing the answer.

The butler looked at me again and again, but at last he saluted me and took out a letter from his bosom.

He said helplessly: "Lord Earl, this is the letter that Miss Kite left for you before leaving......

When I heard this, my heart was half seawater and half fire. Half of it was rejoicing, half of it was sad.

The kite is not dead! Seems to have woken up! But why did she go? It seems that the answer lies in that letter!

In desperation, I returned to my room and opened the slightly scented letter with trembling hands.

Sitting at the head of the bed, I quietly read the kite's farewell letter.

"I love Qilan!" The head of the stage wrote like this, and my heart suddenly tightened, which made me miss this stupid girl even more.

"I never dared to call you that to your face! But this has been weighing on my heart for a long, long time! Do you know? ”

Seeing this, my heart warmed again. This idiot, always so reserved, doesn't say anything!

"Ever since I was in distress in West Africa, I have fallen into a coma. But I can hear everything! I know that you are running all over for me, seeking medical treatment for me! I'm grateful! ”

Thank you for not running! Why go!

"I know you're blaming me for saying goodbye, but I'm in trouble. Qilan. ”

……

"There seem to be two completely different energies burning in my body, hot and cold! I know that it was these two energies that saved my life, but it was also because of these energies that I couldn't wake up. ”

What's going on? Silly guys! You mean!

"After you were gone, suddenly one day I woke up! Yes, I opened my eyes and saw the world again! I thought I would never get this chance again! ”

"Yes, I woke up, but I found that I was unconscious from the neck down! I can't control my arms, my legs, I can't control anything! ”

"The doctor said that this is the sequelae of recovery, and it may take some time, but how long will it take? No one can tell. I'm happy and sad in my heart, it's so complicated! ”

"Lan accompanies me every day, doing rehabilitation training according to the method given to me by the doctor, but it never works, and I don't know what happened to me. It's full of energy, but it can't lift any control over your body! ”

"Three months, three whole months, and I came over like this. Because I didn't exercise for a long time, I was even afraid that I was withering! I don't want you to see me like this! Not at all! ”

"So I left! Arashi was with me, along with some people who had been with me since Iga. They will take care of me until I recover! ”

"The world is so big, maybe somewhere, maybe one day I'll be fine! When that day comes, I'll be sure to come back to you! You can't do without me! ”

"Qilan! Actually, at the end of the day, I still hope you are well! You're the one who wants to do big things, and you can't let me hold you back. So my departure, after all, I still hope that you are better! ”

"I want to be with you day and night, and accompany you to every inch of the world! Qilan! ”

"It's a pity that I don't have this life, don't you always say, people don't fight with life! That's what I have to believe now. ”

"Miss Li is very good, I'm very jealous of her! But there is no way, she is indeed the most suitable person for you! Treasure her! ”

"I suddenly remembered the two lines of poetry you used to recite often: Leaving sorrow and tears in a thousand nights, and painting mirror frost without words on the other side. This is also a true portrayal of us today! ”

"Alright, that's it! Take care of yourself. Qilan. You are the best! Love you! Don't read it! ”

After reading this letter, I squeezed it in my hand so hard that I was trembling and couldn't cry......
