When Wu Gang and the others saw Wang Lang, they were immediately excited, and hurriedly walked a few steps quickly and bowed down to worship.

"Minister! Wu Gang! ”

"Minister, Li Mu,"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang stepped forward and said, "Two Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two of them said loudly.

"The two generals traveled thousands of miles to go out to the wilderness to explore the sea frontier for my Great Xia, such feats are not only yours, but also the glory of my Great Xia, there will definitely be your names in the history books in the future, and future generations will definitely follow your example and spread my Great Xia's warships all over this sea." Wang Lang said excitedly.

A heartfelt remark suddenly encouraged Wu Gang and the two, and Wu Gang said excitedly: "We are willing to fight for Your Majesty in the sea and protect the coastline of my Great Xia." ”

"Okay, sure enough, you are worthy of being a loyal and brave man of Great Xia, I know very well your hard work for two years, and I will definitely not treat my soldiers who shed blood and sweat for Great Xia." After finishing speaking, Wang Lang glanced at the dark clouds.

After receiving Wang Lang's signal, Wuyun took a few steps forward, came to Wu Gang and the others, opened a chapter scroll and read: "General, Wu Gang, Li Mu, not afraid of hardships, after two years of exploring the coast of Shenzhou for me, hard work and high achievements, Wu Gang is now named the left general of the navy, rewarding 10,000 yuan, sealing Li Mu as the right general of the navy, rewarding 10,000 yuan, and the rest of the officers are promoted to a higher level, rewarding 5,000 yuan, and the sailor rewarding 1,000 yuan." The dark clouds read aloud.

After listening to their reward, the two of them were even more excited, and bowed loudly: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The two generals don't have to be polite, the journey is hard, I have prepared wine and food in the palace, and I will wash the dust for the two generals, come!" Two generals, in the same car with me. ”

After that, he took the hands of the two of them and got on the richly decorated deer cart parked on the side, and Wang Lang personally drove in the direction of the imperial city.

Wu Gang and Li Mu stood beside Wang Lang, nervous and stiff, standing straight on the car like a stone sculpture, looking at the crowd on both sides of the street.

A woman in a headscarf stood in the crowd holding a two-year-old child, pointed to the deer cart in the distance and said, "Doll, where is your father?" ”

The child in his arms looked at the vehicle that was moving away, bit his fingers and grinned, clapped his little hands excitedly, and said the word "father" vaguely.

In the spacious open space of the palace, a long thatched hut was erected, and the aisles were lined with tables for single sitting, and after the civil and military officials were seated, the chefs placed the prepared cold drinks in front of each minister.

Wu Gang looked at the strange "wine" in front of him and was curious, he didn't know what material was made of smooth inside, two cold ice cubes rose and fell between the purple liquid, and the cool feeling dispelled a little summer heat, making people feel refreshed.

After Wang Lang sat down, he raised his glass and said: "The weather is hot, and we have specially prepared a cool drink for you, come, everyone have a drink!" ”

With Wang Lang taking the lead, everyone was not restrained, and held up the cup to respect Wang Lang.

Wu Gang drank the liquid in the cup, and suddenly the sweet taste made his eyes light up, this taste is different from fruit wine, it is a feeling that he can't speak, and mixed with the coolness of ice cubes, his body can't help but shiver, and the stuffy feeling is suddenly swept away.

"Good stuff!"

Wu Gang looked at the empty cup and made his own evaluation.

After drinking a drink, the dishes were delivered to the civil and military officials like a stream.

Wu Gang and Li Mu glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes, in the two years that they have been gone, there have been so many delicious dishes in the capital, looking at the dishes on the table, the throats of the two couldn't help rolling.

This royal banquet made the two of them truly experience what is called real deliciousness, recalling the fishy sea fish they ate on the sea for two years, their eyes suddenly moistened, and a bitter and sweet feeling came to their hearts.

This imperial banquet did not end until ten o'clock in the evening, and Wu Gang, who was drunk and dazed, returned to his home in Yancheng with the support of the soldiers.

"Bang bang!"

The heavy knock on the door startled the woman, and she carefully held the child in her arms, walked to the courtyard door, and asked nervously, "Who... Who is it! ”

"Madam, General Wu has drunk too much, let's send him back." A soldier shouted.

When the woman heard this, her face was full of joy, and she said nervously, "Wait a minute... I.. I'll be right away. ”

Hurriedly put the child in his arms aside, tidied up his clothes haphazardly, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a big man full of alcohol rushing towards her, and the woman was startled and wanted to dodge, but when she saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but relax and hold him.

"Madam, this is the general's official uniform, please put it away." The soldier handed a package to the woman.

The woman took the package and nodded to the two soldiers.

"General's wife, General Wu has been sent back, then we will leave." The soldier said respectfully.

"Thank you both!" The woman smiled kindly.

The soldier arched his hand, turned and disappeared into the night.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, the woman looked at Wu Gang who was leaning crookedly on her shoulder, and couldn't help sighing, closed the courtyard door, and helped Wu Gang to the house with great difficulty.

Laboriously getting Wu Gang to the bed, the woman was already tired and sweating, and sat on the side and said with some dissatisfaction: "How can you drink like this!" ”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as again. Two boats, I will never let anything get a step closer to my Bactria coast. Wu Gang closed his eyes and muttered about wine.

The child on the side stumbled to the woman's side, and looked curiously at the man on the bed, who was as strong as a hill in his eyes.

"Mother, mother, who is this man!" The little girl asked in a milky voice.

"Doll, this person is your father." The woman said slowly.

"Father?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then cheered.

"I have a father, I have a father."

The woman touched the little girl's head and said, "Be quiet, don't make noise until your father sleeps, go play by yourself!" ”

The little girl pouted, looked at Wu Gang lying on the bed, walked to the side of the bed and smelled it, the pungent smell of wine suddenly made the little girl cover her nose and run away from the bed.

The woman shook her head and smiled, took off Wu Gang's clothes, and straightened his crooked body.

Looking at Wu Gang's face, the woman was full of memories.

When she was sold here as a slave by the Fire Tribe, she originally thought that she would not survive, but everything in the Salt Department subverted her cognition, these people in clothes did not kill their group of female slaves, and she was also bought by Wu Gang.

Thinking of her panicked self at the beginning, the woman couldn't help laughing, it was the man in front of her, who changed her own fate, and had the family system of the salt department, so that she and this man formed a family, and she was originally a complete stranger, but she became the closest person, from strange to familiar, and then to the reluctance of separation, the scenes of the past appeared in front of her, as if everything was a dream.

Wu Gang slept until the next morning before getting up, rubbed his somewhat sore temples, and got dressed.

When he walked out of the room, he saw the woman busy in the courtyard.

Seeing Wu Gang wake up, the woman wiped her hands and said, "You're awake, I'll go get you something to eat." ”

Wu Gang nodded, looked at the little girl who was hiding behind the woman and secretly looked at him, and said, "Is this still our child?" ”

When the woman heard this, she dragged the little girl from behind and said, "Doll, call Father!" ”

The little girl looked at Wu Gang, squirmed a little, and ran behind the woman in a panic.

"You've been gone for so long, this kid doesn't know you anymore." The woman said leisurely.

Wu Gang sighed and said, "You go get something to eat, I'll stay with her for a while." ”

After the woman left, the two people, one big and one small, looked at each other for a long time.

Wu Gang squatted down and grimaced at the little girl.

This action immediately made the little girl giggle.

"Come, Father Dao here!" Wu Gang said lightly.

The little girl hesitated for a while, slowly walked to Wu Gang's side, stretched out her little hand, and said in a milky voice: "Give you sugar!" Sweet! ”

Wu Gang took the sugar cube handed over by the little girl and put it in his mouth, although the sugar cube was sweet, but he didn't know why it felt very bitter.

The little girl was picked up and placed on her shoulders, and the two women played around in the courtyard.

The woman who was cooking on the side laughed when she saw this warm scene.

After the meal was ready, Wu Gang said while eating, "Did the child have a name?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "Not yet, I don't understand anything, it's up to you to think about the name!" ”

Wu Gang put down his chopsticks, frowned and thought carefully, and after a long time, Wu Gang said: "Let's call it a red flower, I hope our daughter will be as beautiful as a red flower in the future." ”

The woman nodded and said, "This name is very good, doll, you will have saffron in the future, Wu Honghua!" ”

Brother, the girl tilted her head and thought about it, nodded, and laughed happily.

Just when the family was enjoying a rare reunion, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Gang opened the door and saw that it was two palace guards.

Before Wu Gang could ask, a guard said: "General Wu, Your Majesty has a decree, and you will enter the palace immediately to face the saint!" ”

Wu Gang sighed, glanced at the mother and daughter behind him, turned his head and said to the guards: "It's hard work, I'll go over as soon as I'm ready." ”

The guard nodded, arched his hand to Wu Gang, and turned to leave.

"Husband, are you leaving again?" The woman's expression was a little lonely.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't be so unreasonable, how can I leave so quickly when I just came back, there should be something else to ask me, you are at home with red flowers, I will go to the palace." Wu Gang comforted.

The woman nodded and took out Wu Gang's new official uniform.

"When those two soldiers sent you back yesterday, they said this is your new uniform, wear this!" The woman opened her brand-new official uniform and handed it to Wu Gang.

Looking at the light blue official uniform, Wu Gang really realized that he was really promoted, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

Putting on a brand-new official uniform and an official hat, Wu Gang walked towards the palace, receiving the respectful gazes of the people along the way, which made him enjoy it very much.

On the edge of the imperial city, Wu Gang saw Li Mu also walking towards him wearing the same official uniform as himself.

"Brother Wu, you had a good time last night!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"I drank a little too much last night, and I didn't get up until noon today, and my head still hurts, did Brother Li also receive a summons from His Majesty?" Wu Gang arched his hand.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is really, we just came back, and before our buttocks were hot at home, we were called over." ”

Wu Gang said with a smile: "I only cared about drinking yesterday, I want to come to Your Majesty today to learn more about the situation overseas!" ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Brother Wu, please!" ”

Wu Gang smiled: "Brother Li, please!" ”

The two gave in for a while, and had no choice but to walk side by side.

"Your Majesty, Wu, and the two generals Li have arrived." A guard reports.

"Oh, pass them in." Wang Lang hurriedly said.

"Yes!"

After Wu Gang and Li Mu came in, they bowed down and said, "Minister, meet Your Majesty." ”

"Please take a seat, two Aiqing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two of them sat down, Wang Lang said: "I called the two of you to come forward today, just to find out, what you have seen and heard in the past two years, Wu Aiqing, you can talk about it first!" ”

Wu Gang arched his arch and said: "Your Majesty, the minister set out from Harbour City two years ago, sailed south along the coastline, and spent three months sailing to the southernmost tip of the mainland, from where our ship began to sail westward, this time we sailed for more than half a year, and reached the westernmost part of the continent, which was very desolate, and after sailing north for more than two months, we met, General Li, and then we began to return. ”

Wang Lang listened to Wu Gang's narration while comparing the integrated map, the outline map of the continent of Shenzhou Wang Lang is very unfamiliar, he has never seen this shape of land in his impression, but according to Wu Gang's narration, if he is really on the earth, with the scale of this continent, the scope is even larger than the territory of Huaxia in another world, such a scale of land, the most likely is in the Pacific Ocean area can exist, at this moment he has basically determined his position in his heart.

The Shenzhou continent should be located between Asia and the Americas, generally located in the northern hemisphere, half in the southern hemisphere, and this also explains why the ships of the dinosaur people appear on the east coast of the mainland, the east of the Shenzhou continent should be very close to South America or Central America, it can be seen that the biggest threat to the Xia country is the dinosaur people here, as for the Asian region should not be any threat for the time being, the desert on the west coast is good news for Wang Lang, if the Asian alien civilization attacks Shenzhou, That vast desert is a natural barrier, as long as they deal with their navy, the enemy of the labor expedition, it is impossible to defeat the Xia State on land.
