Section XIV

The night is sinking, and the fleet is moving forward with the sea, and the sound of Lang waves is in my ears.

The Ares ship was majestic, and even if it was driving on a calm sea, the waves that rushed out were much louder. Yulut leaned her back against the bulkhead, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was about to fall asleep. The cabin is not large, and after a bed is placed, it looks crowded with a low table. He simply put the whole low table on the bedside office, and there was an oil lamp on the low table, which was glowing faintly. The orange light danced, enveloping the low table, revealing a large pile of paperwork on it, and next to the paperwork, a conch the size of a human head rested.

This conch is not for appreciation, but for drinking. To the east of the Nanban Green Day sea area, there is a Tianqingdao, the length and width of this island are not more than a mile, but it is famous for the abundance of azure snails. This snail is very large, and the meat is tender and delicious. What is especially rare is that its shell is as smooth as a girl's jade muscle, but it is stronger than gold and stone. It is used to make zuò wine utensils, which is not only beautiful in shape, but also has an excellent feel and is extremely reliable.

However, the production of azure snails is extremely slow, and an adult conch often takes hundreds of years to fully grow, and it is only produced in Qingdao, so it is extremely rare. The wine utensils made of azure snails were transported to Nanning at a price of 100 gold, and they were transported to Gehan in the extreme west, which was already priceless.

Resting a simple document on the low table, Yulut felt a little tired, so she took a sip of wine from the azure snail. The generalissimo of the Southern Barbarians, Xi Lie, has become more and more serious in recent years, and he has gradually become like he does not care about the world. Much of the military affairs gradually passed into the hands of Eurut. Even in the prime of life, Ulut was still a little overwhelmed. In order to relieve his boredom, he has been obsessed with the things in the cup in recent years.

The crisp and delicious mangosteen fruit wine flowed down his throat, and Yulut only felt refreshed. His eyes fell on a small door on the side of the cabin, and he was stunned. Behind the door was Wu Ming, the governor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this guy's stubbornness far exceeded Youlute's expectations.

Wu Ming attaches great importance to love and righteousness. In Ulut's view, this is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. threatened with his net worth and life, in exchange for most of the south of the Azure River. But if he threatens his family, there is a chance that this person will obey eight ~ nine times out of ten. But it backfired, and the matter had dragged on for three days, but Wu Ming still didn't let go.

This guy is very free, and he loves a little maid next door every day, which makes Youlut very puzzled, and he has paid special attention to the conversation between the two. It's nothing more than rural fun things such as planting rice and drying grain, cutting wheat and grass, or family trivial things such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, but the two are still chatting with great interest, which makes the wisdom of the war even more confused?

What is this Wu Ming thinking?

Compared to the vast land of the empire, the south of the Azure River can be said to be comparable to a projectile. But this land of projectiles is a place where soldiers must fight. Once the Empire had possessed it, it would be able to block the Persian crusade from the north, allowing it to pass through the fortress of Lloydon with all its might. If the Persians tried to invade the empire again, it would be difficult for them to reach the sky. The war against the Eastern Han Dynasty was also in a favorable state of attacking and retreating. But Wu Ming just didn't let go.

What a headache, he let out a long breath, his slender brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but take another sip of wine. Fortunately, Wu Ming finally fell into my hands, as long as the governor of China and the West is in his hands, even if he doesn't agree, but with his life, can his subordinates still refuse? In this way, the area south of the Azure River will be in my pocket sooner or later.

I was thinking about my thoughts when the door suddenly slammed open and was slammed open. Youluli stood at the door with her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "Brother, let Brother Amin go." ”

Youlut put down the azure snail and said in surprise: "Little sister, did you sneak out?" What about the master? ”

The relationship between Youluli and Wu Ming was really special, and Pamori was afraid that she would make trouble, so she placed Youluli on another warship and lived with her. In the past few days, the two have not been separated by an inch, and Yululi can't get out at all. This was clear to Eurute, and when she came late at night, she was surprised. Youluli pushed the door in: "What sneaked out, the master said that as long as Brother Amin and I get married, I will let him go." ”

Hearing her sister say this, the corners of Youlute's mouth hooked, revealing a smile: "I believe this, but will Wu Ming marry you?" ”

When she heard her brother say this, Eululiton hung her head like a deflated ball and stood still. Youlute was a little unbearable in his heart, he carefully put the low table back on the ground, then got up from the bed, and said while putting on his shoes: "Little sister, you are not too young, there are some things that should be discarded." Sometimes, attachment is not a virtue, but stubbornness. ”

Yululi sobbed lowly, and only after a while did she say, "I know it too, but I still can't help but think about him." Brother, can you let me meet him? ”

"Is this it?"

Yulut put on her shoes, but her face was a little hesitant. It is forbidden for the two to meet, which is what the master has long ordered. But when he saw his sister's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but soften. Just as he was in a dilemma, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "General." ”

Yulut raised her eyebrows, stood up and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a sailor walked in, saluted the two, and said, "Captain Ba Song has sent a message that General Ada's injuries have worsened again, and he wants the general to come and have a look......"

In the encounter with the Saint-Gorire, the casualties on both sides were not small. Ada was particularly strict and was shot in the ribs by Esther. It's not fatal, but it's dangerous. There are too many wounded, and once the control is not good, it will cause a plague. Ulut gathered all the wounded on a five-masted warship and treated them in a unified manner. Ba Song was the captain of the battleship. Youlute was stunned: "Isn't the national teacher here?" ”

There were too many wounded, and the military doctor on the ship was a little too busy. Fortunately, Pamori is proficient in medicine, and with the assistance of her as a grandmaster, there is no big mess. So Pamori was not on the flagship, but with Yululi, on Bashon's battleship.

The sailor shook his head: "The subordinates don't know. ”

At night, the wind is too strong, and the communication is in the language of lights. The lantern language can only convey some simple information, and it is impossible to say it clearly, so Yurut nodded and said, "Okay, you reply to Captain Ba Song, just say that I will go right away." ”

The sailor said yes, then bowed and withdrew. Yulut took off a coat hanging on the bulkhead, and said as she put it on, "Xiaoli, come with me." Don't go to see Wu Ming, seeing too much will only increase the sadness. ”

Yululi shook her head and said stubbornly, "No, brother, I want to see him." Yulute put on her clothes a few times, and when she looked back, she saw Yululi hanging her head down, and a tear was "clicking" and falling to the ground. His heart moved: "It's okay, you can talk to him." ”

Wu Ming is a good person, and his temper is too hard. Yurut has long known that dealing with this kind of person requires a tear offensive, and four years ago he used this to recruit miraculous results, and now he is doing it again, so naturally he can do it easily. Maybe when Ali goes in and cries, this guy will really be relieved.

Yululi raised her tear-stained face: "Thank you, brother." ”

Yulut said: "Okay, you go in and persuade him, I'll go over there first to see the situation." He pushed open the door and said with some anxiety: "That kid was not only sealed by the master with a unique technique, but also hit the power of dispersion, this sea is vast, Xiaoli, don't do stupid things." ”

Pamori is good at medicine, and in addition to martial arts, most of the time she has learned is to study those strange drugs. Hua Gong San is a kind of medicinal powder that is specially used to deal with martial artists. Once you get hit by this thing, your true qi will be suppressed, and it will be almost the same as ordinary people. Youlut was really afraid that her little sister would be ignorant and would do it again, so she took a vaccination in advance.

Yululi was stunned when she heard this, sat down on the head of the bed a little dejectedly, and replied, "Okay." ”

Seeing her dejected appearance, Eulut shook her head, closed the door and walked out. The fleet was moving at full speed, and it was late at night, and there was not a single person on the deck. The sea breeze is blowing, and the wind blows like a knife, and it hurts on the face. He looked at the waning moon in the distance and couldn't help but sigh lightly. Is this love? You can never understand, and you don't need to.

※※※ In the room, Yululi was still crying silently.

Yulute guessed correctly, Yululi had sneaked out. In the past few days, she has been clamoring to see Wu Ming every day. But Pamori said that men are not good things this time, and resolutely refused. Youluli used various methods such as coquettishness, crying, hunger strike, etc., but the master ignored her as if he had an iron heart. Tonight, Pammoli had a headache and fell ill, so she took a look at the sky and drove the dinghy alone to see Wu Ming.

At the beginning, she really had plans to rescue Wu Ming, but Youlute's words knocked her back to her original form. Yes, Brother Amin is really angry, this sea is vast, where can he run? Besides, with that guy's temper, will he leave his wife and run for his life? If it was really that easy to save, my brother wouldn't be at ease to let himself meet him.

She glanced back at the door, but never had the courage to push it open. She gave too much, but she reaped even more disappointment. She didn't want to hear the rejection and pour another salt in her heart.

What to do?

She felt extremely depressed, grabbed the azure snail on the low table, and took a long sip of wine.

If you want to save that nerd, you just need the master to nod, because although the elder brother is in charge of military affairs, he still obeys the master's words. But how can you get the master to agree? Unless he agrees to marry him, then with the master's favor for him, he will not embarrass his apprentice son-in-law. But he just didn't promise to accept himself, this idiot, why didn't he agree? Am I really that bad? Isn't it even as good as the fox spirit of Persia?

Thinking of this, she cried sadly and couldn't help but take another sip of wine.

The crisp mangosteen fruit wine ran down her throat, and she couldn't help but be stunned. A pair of big eyes looked at the azure snail as if they had taken root. Yes, get married. If he and he become a de facto husband and wife, then the master will definitely not embarrass him anymore.

This thought grew in her mind, and it grew rapidly, and then it became a tree in the sky, turning into a lush forest, filling her whole mind.

The wine is ready-made, and there is still the remaining dredging powder from last time in his arms, and Brother went to another ship to check Ada's injury, and he will definitely not come back for a while. The conditions for cooking rice are fully ripe. Thinking of this, she trembled and took out the vial of dredging powder from her arms, and shook it into the wide opening of the azure snail, thinking about it, but she was afraid that the amount would not be enough. She gritted her teeth and poured all the remaining powder in.

As soon as the powder entered the white sake, it quickly dissolved into nothing, like spring snow melting. Yululi shook the azure snail in her hand, then stood up. She stared at the door for a long time, handed the azure snail to her left hand, and held the handle of the door with her right hand. Like a martyr about to go into battle, take a deep breath and ......
