The place where you take a bath is just a curtain away from the bowl noodles. But it is precisely because of such a curtain that everything inside is blocked, and not even a trace of cool air can enter.

Li Xiang and the others, under the guidance of the Japanese bathing workers, lifted the curtain and walked in, and their eyes lit up instantly.

Ooh!

A large wave of heat rushed towards his face, and at the same time the damp white steam continued to roll and sweep over.

A large pit was dug in the bathing area, and then a pool was made out of wooden planks, so it could carry a lot of hot water and was used as a bathing pool.

On the other side, there is a simple shower.

To get out of this bath room, in fact, there is no difficulty for Zhao Hongyu.

It's okay to let the Japanese do the construction, and there is no technical content in this. As for those shower heads, as well as bathing pools or something, it is not troublesome to buy them directly from the virtual world.

The boiler that boiled water outside was also scrapped from the virtual world, after all, the goods purchased from Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law were basically like this, and Zhao Hongyu was used to it.

It is inevitable that Chen Zhenbang and his brother-in-law will be exploited before his own scientific research institutions invest in anything and produce nothing.

Just get used to it.

Besides, even these things that are purchased are about to be scrapped in the virtual world. But in this era, it is also a very high-tech thing.

And it's still unique.

"Let's all come and take a dip, the water temperature is good now."

Zhao Hongyu, who came in one step earlier than Li Xiang and them, had already sat in the pool to soak.

And the water in this pool has also been changed, and the pool has been cleaned, so there is no problem at all.

Li Xiang and the others responded to Zhao Hongyu's greeting and entered the pool one by one.

Call!

It's so comfortable!

As they slowly sat down in the water, they couldn't help but admire.

At this moment, there is still goose feather snow outside. The temperature is already very low.

But here, they don't feel the slightest chill at all.

Humid and hot water vapor churned in the bath room, and the sergeant who had gone to buy a bath towel walked in.

This guy was holding a stack of bath towels in his hands, and at the same time, there were many bare-chested soldiers wearing a pair of flat boxers behind him, and they all held a lot of food in their hands.

After giving the bath towel to the Japanese bath worker, the sergeant came behind Zhao Hongyu.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have brought some guards, after all, Your Highness's identity is not ordinary. Let's be careful. Zhao Hongyu will not have any opinion on such an arrangement, after all, this is also a good intention. So he nodded, indicating that he had no problem with that.

Besides, the guards who are around the register will not disturb themselves.

Therefore, there is no need to refuse at all.

Afterwards, the sergeant said to Zhao Hongyu: "My subordinates saw that His Highness was a little bored in the bath, so they asked people to bring some snacks." So that His Highness can eat casually when he is bathing. ”

"I have a heart." , Zhao Hongyu thanked him.

The sergeant then clapped his hands on the guards he had brought in. He put some snacks on the edge of the pool, so that Zhao Hongyu could reach them with his hand.

Of course, this sergeant not only prepared these snacks for Zhao Hongyu, but also prepared them for Li Xiang.

This thing can't always be high and special to each other. Otherwise, it will be looked down upon by others.

There are many kinds of snacks, all of which are Cantonese snacks, which are similar to morning tea.

I also took some low-alcohol wine. to accompany these small snacks.

"You are all waiting carefully, this is our Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you serve well, you will definitely be indispensable for your rewards, and don't neglect those distinguished guests. ”

These Japanese bathing workers still don't know the identity of Zhao Hongyu, so the sergeant reminded them.

When they heard that among the people who came to take a bath this time, there was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Empire, these Japanese bathing workers suddenly became a little panicked.

After all, they were all ordinary people, and even when they saw a low-level samurai master, they had to kneel on the side of the road. When have they ever met someone like the crown prince?

For them, the crown prince is like a fairy.

However, after the initial panic, the wreckage workers became agitated again.

The reason is very simple, because the sergeant said that as long as these people are served well, then they will inevitably get some benefits.

The crown prince's reward will definitely not be less, right?

Well, their idea is simple, as long as there is a benefit to it.

Therefore, when the sergeant retreated after giving the order, these Japanese bathers took out twelve points of strength to serve Zhao Hongyu and them.

While taking a bath, you are eating a small snack, and at the same time slowly taking a sip of wine, there is someone behind you who is not light or heavy, and the strength is moderate, which is very comfortable.

Li Xiang and the others had never enjoyed it like this, and they immediately indulged in it.

Li Xiang sat next to Zhao Hongyu, he picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of wine. Then he closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself.

"Lao Li, you can go back tomorrow and bring all the people from Amami Island to Nagasaki. Now that you're the Admiral of Kyushu, you can't let your brothers suffer anywhere. ”

Anyway, being idle is idle, so Zhao Hongyu chatted with Li Xiang.

Li Xiang slowly put down the wine glass, and the Japanese bather behind him filled it quickly and carefully, and then continued to massage his shoulders slowly.

"What Your Highness said is that I will go back tomorrow to pick up my brothers and family members." , Li Xiang nodded, he also felt that now that the matter had been decided, he couldn't eat and drink spicy food here by himself, so that those brothers were still worried about Amami Island.

"But Your Highness, we've left Amami Island, should we send some garrisons over there?" , Li Xiang suddenly remembered this matter.

Amami Island has a very special location. It can be said to be the main route in the southern part of Kyushu, and it controls the sea route to the south. Zheng Zhilong has been peeping at it, but he hasn't started it yet.

If Amami Island is given up this time, it will be a pity in Li Xiang's opinion.

Once Amami Island falls into the hands of Zheng Zhilong, then Zheng Zhilong's power will expand again, and the front will be directed at Kyushu.

Although there is still a Goto Island in the south of Kyushu, this Goshima is already the last barrier in Kyushu.

But anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs knows that if you can establish a defensive point on the periphery, this is the most correct.

"Well, I don't have to worry about that. You are now the Admiral of the Navy. So, you'll be able to do this yourself, but if you're stationed on Amami Island, you'll probably have to communicate with the infantry army, so you're busy. ”

Regarding the proposal to garrison troops on Amami Island, Zhao Hongyu did not object much.

As long as it is a proposal that is beneficial to his side, Zhao Hongyu will not object, which can be regarded as an advantage of Zhao Hongyu.

With Zhao Hongyu's words, Li Xiang's heart was settled.

"Your Highness, in fact, Naha in the southern part of Amami Island was also under my control. However, it was seized by Zheng Zhilong when he was last year. After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to tell Zhao Hongyu about Naha's side.

After all, Naha is the gateway to the southern tip of the Wa Kingdom, and it is also very important to Kyushu.

It is impossible for Li Xiang not to know this.

And Zhao Hongyu is from another time and space. But he was also well aware of Naha's importance.

"Has Naha already fallen into the hands of Zheng Zhilong?"

Hearing Li Xiang say this, Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly.

Because he knows the importance of Naha, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to ignore it.

With Naha as a stronghold, Zheng Zhilong is equivalent to saying that he has driven a nail on the side of the Wa Kingdom.

In the future, as long as he likes. Then at any time, you can attack the Kyushu side and invade the waters of Kyushu at any time.

So, this issue has to be taken seriously.

"Yes. Last year, Zheng Zhilong fought a naval battle with us and took Naha away by force. Speaking of last year's battlefield naval battle, Li Xiang's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

"It was this naval battle that caused me heavy losses. And even the prince and his son have become slaves of the Dutch, which really hurts me to think about it. Fortunately, the king's life is good, and they met your highness, otherwise, ......"

Although Li Xiang's next words did not come out, Zhao Hongyu also knew what this meant.

If there was no Zhao Hongyu at the beginning, the fate of Wang Fuzi would definitely not be easy.

Even Liu Da Scar can't even reach the Americas, so he will be tortured to death halfway.

When he first rescued them, Liu Da Scar only had half a life left.

Zhao Hongyu is very clear about this.

"In that naval battle, Zheng Zhilong and I dispatched all our strength, originally I thought that Zheng Zhilong and I were on equal footing and should be able to deal with it, but who knew that Zheng Zhilong colluded with the Southern Barbarians, and also used his identity to buy off the general soldiers of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and several parties united to fight my family, and defeated me in this way."

Li Xiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, with a trace of resentment in the expression on his embarrassed face.

Yes, it's no wonder that Li Xiang is so angry about this, because he lost too much in that naval battle.

"This is over, and we have to look forward. Zheng Zhilong is just a small person in my eyes, you don't have to take it to heart, I guarantee that as long as you follow me for three years, after three years, our strength will definitely be stronger than Zheng Zhilong. There is a way that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and there is a chance for you to take revenge. ”

Zhao Hongyu comforted Li Xiang.

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's comfort, Li Xiang first thanked a few words, and then said: "Thank you Your Highness for your promotion, but Li Xiang is not a person who does not know the times." Now that Li Xiang has followed His Royal Highness and become a subject of the Song Empire and the Admiral of the Kyushu Navy, many things have to be considered for the empire. ”

"The matter between me and Zheng Zhilong is a dead man's grudge, public is public and private is private, this cannot be confused. In the future, as long as Li Xiang does not infringe on the interests of our Kyushu, the old man will not have any conflicts with him. ”

Li Xiang's words, in addition to showing loyalty to Zhao Hongyu, also expressed his attitude towards Zhao Hongyu, and also told Zhao Hongyu from the side that he is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between public and private.

Zhao Hongyu picked up the wine glass and raised it to Li Xiang.

"Don't be careful, I didn't mean to tempt you. In fact, I think Zheng Zhilong will not let go of this opportunity, is it possible that he will not take the initiative to invade our Kyushu? Zhao Hongyu has already said to Li Xiang with some point. I think Zheng Zhilong will definitely come to test us, so we have a chance to give him a little bit of power. ”

"Naha must be recaptured, because that place is important to Kyushu. But I won't worry about this problem, you can handle it. Zhao Hongyu drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand.

"Remember, you are my man, and your enmity is my enmity. The experience in the Americas tells us that a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye can let people know how good you are. ”

Li Xiang was very moved.

You must know that Lu Dao only took refuge in a desperate situation.

And in the process, he still has some selfishness.

But the crown prince not only did not blame him, but accepted him very happily, and gave him a very important official position. At the same time, let him command those elite warships.

With such a trust, it is impossible to say that Li Xiang is not moved.

Especially today, from the words of the crown prince, he heard a meaning, that is, the crown prince will stand up for him and deal with Li Xiang.

Actually, this can be regarded as a means of subduing him.

But even so, Li Xiang is very grateful.

In Li Xiang's heart, there was a thought of dying as a confidant.

In fact, Li Xiang knew that Zhao Hongyu wanted to deal with Li Xiang, but it was just to control the shipping lanes in Southeast Asia.

This is nothing to do with avenging Li Xiang.

And Zhao Hongyu saw very far, he felt that Zheng Zhilong was now in the limelight and strong, and he had a lot of money under his boat, so he must be full of spirit and ambition now.

To say that he would be afraid of himself now, that is impossible.

Even, even if Zheng Zhilong knew that Li Xiang had taken refuge in him, he would not have anything to fear.

And there is a great possibility that Zheng Zhilong will take the opportunity to attack Kyushu to see if he can make Kyushu his own.

After all, the fact that Kyushu was ceded by the Japanese court must not be hidden.

When the time comes, there will be rumors, and the only one who is staring at Kyushu and has the ability to peep is Zheng Zhilong.

In other words, sooner or later he and Zheng Zhilong will have a conflict.

Before Zheng Zhilong didn't know how powerful he was, he would definitely take the initiative to come to find trouble.

Under such a circumstance, there is actually nothing to promise Li Xiang.

It's just that Li Xiang herself doesn't know. (To be continued......)
