As soon as Xu Tian saw that they had no different meanings, he once again emphasized, "It is a basic discipline not to enter Siam proper!" You have to stand on the Mekong River, play a majestic role, and open up the water lifeline of the Longji Trading Company of the Longdai tribe! ”

"Mr. Xu, rest assured, we will not cross the line!" Yu Songyuan swore an oath. In fact, in his heart, he already has his own spectrum. They will never show mercy to the river bandits who do all kinds of evil.

The telegraph operator Su Shuishui came in with a tray, and Lao Zhou, the head of the boatman's armed force, also walked in.

Two bottles of wine, four delicate side dishes. Su Shuishui poured wine into the four goblets and then withdrew. Xu Tianyi took the lead in holding the cup, "Na Jiaxin has been hit hard, and his vitality has been greatly damaged. President Lao Zhu was captured, and although he has been rescued back to China, his life is in danger. Yang Mingtao, the leader of the Naga group, was stranded in the army to clean up the mess, and his wife Liu Wenyu died in battle. At a time of crisis, the unobstructed passage of the waterway is a great matter, and it is related to whether Naga can be reborn from the ashes! ”

The strong woman's posture was so low, which made Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao very uncomfortable for a while. Lin Tao couldn't stand the woman's complaining expression the most, and hurriedly said, "Sister Xu, you must rest assured, we will never let you down!" ”

Xu Tianyi ignored Lin Tao's confession, and the two boys didn't listen to the order and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, which made Xu Tianyi's heart bottomless. But tomorrow is the battle, whether it is good or Lai, she has to count on them, and all she can do is to emphasize the key points of the trip again and again before she sets off.

"The brothers' entry into Cologne is part of the Indochina strategy. While fulfilling the main tasks entrusted to you by the state, you must not forget that as long as the Longji fleet seizes the right of free navigation on the Mekong River, we will all be alive! Come on, and I wish you all success! ”

Cheers to the four of them and drank it all.

Late at night, Lao Zhou and Xu Tianyi both went back to their respective rooms. The small building was quiet for a while, and I fell asleep. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao came to the telegraph room first, Su Shuishui and another girl were napping, and when they saw them coming in, they immediately stood up.

Yu Songyuan nodded to them and apologized, then prepared a telegram and told them the call sign, which read, "Contact the embassy to help Yang get out of trouble and protect Yang's safety!" ”

After the telegram was sent, the two quietly walked to the courtyard and sat on a wicker chair and smoked. After a long time, it is estimated that Longji and Yingya next door should also stop, and they are about to quietly go back to the house to sleep, when the telegraph operator Su Shui comes down. She held a telegram in her hand and handed it to Yu Songyuan, "Captain Yu, this is a call back!" ”

Yu Songyuan shone it with a flashlight, and quickly turned it out from memory, "I have joined the team and will be in Cologne soon!" ”

This shocked him, but it also made him even more gratified. The telegram turned out to be sent by Yang Mingtao. This shows that Yang Mingtao is safe and has been placed under Thomas's protection. There is no news that makes people happier than that. Naga was hit hard, and Thomas took the initiative to intervene in Naga's moment of crisis and sided with Naga.

This made Yu Songyuan look at Thomas with admiration.

Su Shuishui returned to the duty room, and Yu Songyuan told Lin Tao the contents of the telegram. Lin Tao said excitedly, "God, Thomas's dog day is really fast, this is a great achievement!" Boss, this is great news, you should report it to Sister Xu quickly! ”

The two returned upstairs, and Xu Tianyi had already gotten up. She was wearing pajamas, holding her arms and another telegram in her hand, pacing back and forth in the hall, and the telegraph operator Su Shuishui stood quietly.

She handed the telegram to Yu Songyuan, who saw that the telegram was very long, "I have escaped and will go to Cologne." After returning to the military sticker, you run Vientiane and rebuild Naga! ”

After reading it, he handed it to Lin Tao again. Lao Zhou also got up and read the telegram. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, Xu Tianyi and Lao Zhou were reborn after the catastrophe, and they were already in tears. Xu Tian looked at his watch, "Four o'clock in the morning, forget it, grandma's, make a fool of yourself all night, just don't sleep!" ”

Xu Tianyi and Lao Zhou's expressions shocked Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao. The Indochina Peninsula is in turmoil, the Annam army is invading Khmer, and the border with China is rubbing again. Soon after the establishment of the countries of South Asia, public order was chaotic, and the Naga group was attacked by unknown forces. It is an inexplicable chaos, and the living environment is even worse than that of Peshawar in West Asia.

Xu Tianyi led everyone into the war room, "Xiao Shuishui, take the wine and food!" The telegraph operator Su Shuishui happily agreed, and ran out of the city in a hurry.

Xu Tianyi pointed to the sand table and said, "Captain Yu, Team Leader Yang has entered Cologne, you may have a new mission." ”

"If Team Leader Yang wants to enter Cologne, he can only take the train from Juntie to Khon Kaen. Then take a bus from Khon Kaen and follow Highway 223 to Wat Pha City. Then cross the Mekong River from Khambu and take a raft down the Sebangfi River into Coron. Team Leader Yang is under the protection of Thomas, and safety is definitely not a problem. I suggest, we wait for him at the base of the Cologne Forest Farm! Yu Songyuan looked at Xu Tianyi and said.

Xu Tian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xiaoshui came in with a servant and two trays. Xu Tianyi rubbed his temples, "His grandmother's, it's almost dawn, just eat it for breakfast." Saying that, she personally poured wine for everyone, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers to Team Leader Yang's escape, for the company's rebirth, and for your smooth entry into the Indochina Peninsula!" ”

Everyone took their glasses and drank them all.

The next day, just after dawn, the departure ceremony of the Longji fleet was to be held.

For the Long Dai tribe, this fleet voyage has the meaning of life and death. The Mekong River was cut off by bandits, and the trade of the tribal fleet could only be made everlast. Therefore, early in the morning, the wharf was crowded with people, colorful flag hunting, the upper class of the tribe, the tribesmen, all gathered on the wharf, there were tens of thousands of people, and the grand send-off ceremony was about to begin.

A high wooden platform was erected by the pier with a red carpet. In front of the wooden platform, there is a long table covered with a red carpet, on which various sacrifices and offerings such as pigs' heads are placed. Four large incense burners with long red incense sticks on them. The nine elders of the tribe plus the ten people of Lao Zhou, together with their wives, were all dressed and stood on both sides.

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao got on the boat early, and the two sat on the bow of the boat, leaning on the boat and drinking tea, watching the clan's send-off ceremony with great interest, and felt very funny. They didn't know that the two of them were actually the guests of honor today.

"The ceremony begins!" With the order of the elder presiding over the ceremony, more than a dozen locks played a joyful harvest ballad.

In the sound of music, Yingya, the supreme tribal master, dressed in full costume, holding Xiao Shui Ya, who was full of flowers, and Xu Tianyi, accompanied by all the maids, slowly walked down from the small building, stepped on the red carpet, and came to the dock. The big leader of Longji stepped forward and helped the two of them to come to the incense case together.

Long Ji lit incense and handed it to the two of them. Two beautiful women hold incense, worship heaven and earth, then insert it into the incense burner, and then walk up to the concierge desk covered with red carpet.

The nine elders and Lao Zhou, one by one, brought their wives, and then made incense one by one, worshiped heaven and earth, and inserted it into the incense burner.

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were sitting on the bow of the boat and watching it, when Mei Xue and Su Ji ran onto the boat. Everyone on the dock looked at them, Mei Xue said something first, and the two waved their hands. Mei Xue and Su Ji turned around in embarrassment, cast a look at Yingya for help, and spread their hands. Yingya and Xu Tianyi looked at each other and smiled, and made a grasping gesture.

Mei Xue and Su Ji moved together, twisted their ears, and dragged them off the boat. In the good-natured laughter of the audience, the four of them came to the incense table together, and also learned from the others, lit the incense and worshipped, and then walked up to the protocol desk.

After burning incense, the honor guard of 12 people armed by the tribe raised the long fire gun in their hands and fired a cannon at the sky with a "bang". More than a dozen horns and a few locks played high-pitched Lancang traditional music to send off the ballad.

Yingya is like a queen, she is well-mannered, solemn and elegant. As soon as the music stopped, she waved her hand, and dozens of young tribal girls, holding garlands made of flowers, stepped on the gangplank and walked onto the big boat, and one by one the tribal warriors put on flowers and gave sweet kisses one by one.

Music began on the pier, and the crowd of people saw off the road to applause.

Although the Longdai tribe is a native tribe, Lancang has been colonized by the French for a long time, and the traditional culture of the tribe has also been deeply imprinted with French folklore. Kisses and hugs are solemn and sacred rituals in the Long Dai tribe.

The climax of the send-off ceremony is to send the big leader on board. Under the attention of everyone in the audience, Long Ji hugged Yingya and Xiao Shuiya and kissed goodbye to the mother and daughter respectively, and the scene was solemn and warm. The elders and their wives came to see them off, holding Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, Mei Xue and Su Ji respectively, kissing their hair and foreheads, and wishing them a safe journey.

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao both noticed that Mei Xue and Su Ji, two beautiful girls, kissed goodbye to the elders, and took two little maids to board the big ship first. They wore blue turbans on their heads, elegant tube skirts, and delicate little sandals on their feet. Obviously, it was the first time they had been on the boat for a long journey, and the two of them seemed very excited, like two happy birds, constantly waving goodbye to their family members who were seeing them off the boat.

After the elders and couples finished kissing and parting the ceremony, when Lao Zhou was about to board the ship with Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, Xu Tianyi suddenly said, "The two little brothers will wait for a while." As he spoke, he hugged Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao respectively. The difference is that she kisses the lips of two people. After kissing, he let go of them and ordered, "Say goodbye to Yingya and Shuiya, this is tribal etiquette, don't be rude!" ”

"Can't you kiss it, where is the kiss?"

"Of course it's the forehead, where else do you want to kiss?!"

"Why can't you kiss your lips like you do?"

"If you don't listen, I'll try it, and see if Longji doesn't throw you into the river to feed the crocodiles!"

Yingya, who was dressed up, blushed, like a bright Champa flower, swaying in the wind. She covered her mouth and looked at them with a smile.

Lao Zhou, Long Ji and the boatmen all laughed, and the crowd on the shore saw off them all laughed kindly. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao hugged Yingya and Shui Ya respectively with red faces and kissed their foreheads in the midst of laughter. Yingya, however, took the initiative to kiss them on the lips.

Workers on the shore set off firecrackers, and the fleet set sail to the east amid the blessings of the crowd of people seeing them off. Hundreds of tribal children chased them all the way down the embankment for several miles.
