"Yanagihara-kun, what are you going to do about the person who wants to stay in Qingguo?" Mizuno asked as he sat down in front of Yanagihara Maemitsu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Negotiate with the Qing Prime Minister Yamen and let them refuse to accept this person!" Yanagihara replied categorically, "He must not be allowed to become a citizen of the Qing Kingdom!" ”

"It's really weird, Yanagihara-kun." Mizuno reminded Yanagihara Maeko carefully, "I always feel that there is a smell of conspiracy in this." ”

"Our enemies are extremely good at intrigues. This time, I can be regarded as seeing the methods of this Qing people. Yanagihara Maemitsu sneered, "However, the coming day is long." Let's see which of us can have the last laugh! ”

At this time, Yanagihara Maemitsu would not have imagined that his life, and even the fate of his descendants, would take unexpected changes because of the person he just mentioned.

On the dock, Lin Yizhe watched "Fusheng" disappear into the sea antenna, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In seven days, I can deliver the letter to King Gong." Lin Yizhe said to himself.

Under the blue sky in the distance, the gunboat "Fusheng" was struggling to move forward against the surging waves. At a distance from the "Fusheng," a Chinese warship, which is about the size of the "Meiyun," is sailing at an unusually high speed breaking the waves.

This warship is the high-speed notification ship "Feiting", which was ordered by Lin Yizhe, designed by Dashbo, and built by the shipmaster under extremely secret conditions. At this time, the notification ship was sailing at full speed and sent the secret letter written by Lin Yizhe to Tianjin.

"Your Excellency, it's time to go."

On the dock, Bei Jinquan, the pipe leader of the "Weiyuan" ship, said to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe nodded and got on the trestle.

Lin Yizhe boarded the deck of the "Weiyuan" ship and stood motionless for a few minutes in the face of the blowing sea breeze.

He was still smiling at the Japanese just now, with a dull smile on his face. At this time, Pei Jinquan was also walking on the deck, and as soon as he saw Lin Yizhe, he immediately found that his demeanor was a little abnormal.

"Your Excellency, what are you? ......" he asked cautiously.

Since serving as the captain of the "Wannianqing" to serving as the captain of the "Weiyuan" today, and accompanying Lin Yizhe to the sea, the relationship between Pei Jinquan and Lin Yizhe has always been extremely close, and the two have been together for a long time, and Pei Jinquan knows Lin Yizhe's personality and temper very well. It was the abnormality of Lin Yizhe's mood, and he could feel it immediately when he saw it.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Lin Yizhe tried his best to suppress the simple and pretty Paiwan girl's shadow, and said with a smile as if concealed.

"Adults are homesick, aren't they?" Pei Jinquan said with a smile, "This time I have been in the mountains for a few months, and my wife is at home, so I don't know how to worry about it." ”

"It's unscrupulous." Lin Yizhe remembered that Chen Wanhe, who was pregnant again, was also pregnant and sick, and Caiyue was worried.

"Do you really want to go to the Fanjie Coast again?" Pei Jinquan asked.

"Yes." Lin Yizhe nodded, "Let's take a look again, and then go straight to Fuzhou." ”

Pei Jinquan went to the flying bridge to give the order, and after a while, the "Weiyuan" ship that sailed out of Jilong Harbor turned around and headed south, heading towards the coast of Fanjie.

After Pei Jinquan left, Lin Yizhe stared at the sea, stood for a while, and then returned to his cabin. He sat in his room, lay down, and listened to the sound of the steam engine. He was about to go to the foredeck, but after thinking about it, he returned to the table.

During this time, Lin Yizhe spent his time with his hands covering his face, he was neither preparing anything nor having any plans, just wanting to quiet his mind for a while.

He couldn't help but meditate in reverie, letting his thoughts run wild. His thoughts at this time are inseparable from everything around him, seemingly related, but also unrelated, like a horse galloping in the bustling crowd, running and stopping; Sometimes it's like entering a no-man's land, sometimes it's so sluggish and flustered. This thought wanders in the soul of things, from the explicit agitation to the subtle suggestion, rising and falling, and changeable; It swirls between heaven and earth, exchanging songs with imaginary characters, sometimes forgetting memories, and sometimes decorating them. In this hazy mental activity, everything is so active and prominent, but at the same time it is as incoherent as a dream.

His elbow, which was holding his head in the palm of his hand, was numb. He was drowsy, but he didn't notice it. Feeling thirsty, he leaned over to unzip his coat pocket, but he was already in a dream.

Then the dream also disappeared, and for the next two hours, Lin Yizhe felt that it was just a nap with his head on his hand for a second or two.

In the dream, Lin Yizhe forgot for a moment how he came here. He looked in amazement at the pleasing morning light, the steep shore among the green leaves, the long, blue sky, and the branches of the trees that hung on the horizon and hung above his feet. Below the cliff, as if right behind Lin Yizhe, the waves lightly hit the shore. A drop of morning dew shone on the leaves, and a "click" fell on his still sleepy face, cold. He stood up and saw sunlight everywhere. The scorched wood that had cooled in the bonfire was still emitting a wisp of smoke, and the smell of scorched smoke made people enjoy the fresh air of the forest to the fullest, and added a layer of rugged mountain forest feeling.

Lin Yizhe came out of the dense forest and walked towards a bush on the slope. The weeds in the sun were steaming, and the wet flowers were like a group of children who had been forced to take a cold bath. This green world was breathing in its countless small mouths, and it was so lush that it was almost impossible for Lin Yizhe to walk through it. He finally came to a colorful open meadow, and then saw a young Paiwan girl sleeping soundly here.

He gently brushed a branch with his hand and stood in surprise.

A tired forehead was crouching no more than five paces away with one leg stretched out on the other, her hands comfortably resting on her head. Her hair was piled up in a messy pile, her collar was open, revealing a small white neck socket, her skirt was spread on the floor, her knees were bare, a strand of black hair was half-hidden over her delicate, raised sideburns, her long eyelashes lay in the shadow of her cheeks, and the little finger of her right hand resting under her head was slightly bent back. Lin Yizhe squatted down and tilted his head to look at the girl's face, his heart was full of ecstasy.

Perhaps in other circumstances and occasions, this Paiwan girl gave him only a superficial and superficial impression, but now he feels completely different. He was overjoyed, and his whole body and mind were moved by it.

Everything around the girl—long black and shiny hair, colorful clothes, and folds of her skirt—was asleep, and even the grass near her seemed to be napping out of sympathy for her......

There was a shaking around, and Lin Yizhe woke up suddenly.

He sighed, knowing that he had just had a dream. Somewhat wistful, he walked out of the cabin and onto the flybridge.

At this time, it was almost noon, Pei Jinquan put up the collar of his shirt, walked around the compass on the one hand, and said the password to the helmsman on the other.

The "Weiyuan" ship was sailing against the wind.

"My lord, I'm almost there." Pei Jinquan pointed to the crystal sand beach and green mountains and forests in the distance, and said with a smile.

Lin Yizhe raised the binoculars, and suddenly, he saw a figure on the beach, and he couldn't help but feel a shock all over his body.

The man who had just made him restless was standing on the beach!

Aya saw him too, and she ran into the water as fast as she could. At this time, there was only one thought in her heart.

"I'm going with you!"

In the clear blue waters, she swam hard, stretched out her hands to the tall steamer, her face flushed red, no less red than the bright red dragon flag on the mast.

From the side of the big ship came a small dinghy, and the rowing sailors were tanned one by one. Among the sailors stood Lin Yizhe, who looked at her, and the smile on his face warmed her.

In her excitement, in the clouds fluttering, in the rolling waves, in the distant sky and the glitter of the water, she could no longer tell what was moving: it was her, or the ship, or the dinghy,—— everything was floating, up and down.

But the oars were already beating the sea sharply beside her, she raised her head, Lin Yizhe leaned down, the girl grabbed his belt with both hands, squinted her eyes, and then opened her eyes and smiled bravely at his beaming face.

Lin Yizhe picked her up from the water, her mind refreshed, and grabbed his belt with her hand. Her heart was filled with a feeling of happiness and contentment. When Aya made up her mind to open her eyes, she felt only the rickety boat, the glitter of the waves, and the side of the ship that was approaching with a rumbling noise—all of this was like a strange dream that swirled and swayed with water, light and shadow. Before she knew it, she was picked up by Lin Yizhe with two strong and powerful arms, and boarded the big ship along the gangway. The deck, covered with tapestries and carpets, resembles a heavenly garden in the sunlight. Aya quickly noticed that she was already standing in a cabin—a room that couldn't be better.

Suddenly, from the deck came the sound of loud music, its triumphant sound stirring and vibrating the hearts of men. Aya closed her eyes again, afraid that if she watched all this, she would make them run away. Lin Yizhe took her hand, and now she knew where it was safe, and hid her sweat-soaked face on his chest. Lin Yizhe himself was shocked and amazed by the arrival of this indescribable and precious moment, which no one could enjoy, and he carefully and pleasantly lifted the face he had just dreamed of with his chin up, and he saw that the girl's eyes were at last shining open, and these bright eyes contained all the best things that man had.
