Chapter 049: First Arrival Twin Fires
"Found the island! The island has been spotted in the left front! β
"Hey, do you really see the island? You can't fool me, right? β
"Don't be joking, the little one dares to lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can come up and see it for yourself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Xia Yu, stop the ink, quickly order the fleet to move towards the island. This is most likely the Twin Fire Islands. β
"Yes, my lord." Finally discovered the island, Xia Yu instantly changed from sick to fierce. The deck, which had suffocated him for days, was too small for a naturally restless fellow. The monotonous life on the ship made this guy wail constantly, and everyone on the ship was uneasy. In the end, Deng Yi, who couldn't bear it anymore, deliberately arranged him by Lu Yina's side, which completely quieted him down.
"Heaven forbid, I hope this is the Twin Fire Island!" Lu Yina felt homesick and began to pray in a low voice.
"If the direction is right, this should be the Twin Fire Islands."
Lu Yina looked at Deng Yi quietly and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Deng!" β
"Since they are brother and sister, there is no need to be so polite." Deng recalled.
Looking at the island in front of her, which was slowly getting bigger and clearer, Lu Yina's breathing gradually became rapid, and the muscles of her hands holding the guardrail bulged, obviously because she was overforced. His nervousness and eagerness could no longer be expressed in words.
"Twin Harbors, Twin Harbors! This really is the Twin Fire Island! I'm back, Dad, Mother, the woman is back! My daughter really misses you so much! Woooooooo Seeing that the place that she had been thinking about day and night in Shuanghuo Harbor was finally close in front of her, Lu Yina could no longer stop the emotions gushing in her heart and cried loudly.
"Miss, don't cry. Woo, we're finally home now, we should be happy. β
Facing the three women who hugged each other and cried profusely, Deng Yi did not step forward to comfort them. Now everything is superfluous for them, crying as much as they want, venting as much as they want is what they need most.
After eight days of sailing, we finally managed to reach the island of Twin Fires. The road can be described as calm, without any waves. This was not only unexpected by Deng Yi, but also what he hoped for. Although the preparations had been made before the departure, the purpose of this voyage was not to fight a war, nor to go out on an adventure to seek excitement.
"Shen Zhi, quickly negotiate with the port guards and ask them to allow us to enter the port." Deng Yi ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Shen Zhi took the order and left. At this time, among the more than 600 people under Deng Yi, only Shen Zhi knew how to negotiate with outsiders at sea, so this order belonged to him. Although along the way, Shen Zhi taught other people relevant knowledge and skills at the request of Deng Yi. But after all, it was a bit of a rush, and it was difficult to reassure. If you accidentally cause a misunderstanding in the Twin Fire City and don't let them land, then it will be a big trouble. Therefore, Deng Yi had to be cautious.
"My lord, the guards of the harbor have promised to let us land. However, they asked us to only take a maximum of 30 people off the ship. After some negotiations, Shen Zhi came to report.
"Good, well done. After all, it was our first time to come to Twin Fire Island, and it was normal for the other party to be cautious. Xia Yu, arrange the entourage and the people left behind, and we are ready to dock and disembark. Deng Yi understood such a result, and if it was an unfamiliar fleet coming to Xiaoyao Island, he would do the same.
The prosperity of Shuanghuo Port is far beyond Deng Yi's imagination, only to see that there is an endless stream of ships coming and going from the port, the flow of people on the shore is shoulder to shoulder, and the road is full of traffic. The prosperity of Shuanghuo Island can be seen from this, and it is worthy of being the largest and most prosperous island in the sea area of tens of thousands of miles.
Although the guards of the Twin Fire Harbor gave Deng Yi a quota of thirty of them, Deng Yi did not bring so many people, and only Han Cong, Xia Yu, Lu Yina and her two maids accompanied him. But as soon as they stepped out of the boat, someone stopped them.
"I don't know what to call them, where did they come from?" An officer-looking man stepped forward and asked. He was followed by dozens of heavily armed soldiers, and there were many additional guards in other parts of the port. It shows how much they attach importance to Deng Yi's unfamiliar fleet.
"Under Deng Yi, this is Han Cong and Xia Yu, all of whom are my subordinates. This is Lu Yina and her two maids, they are all from your Twin Fire Island. And we're from Runaway. I don't know your honorable name? Deng Yi hugged his fists and replied truthfully. In the face of the other party's inquiry, Deng Yi did not dare to slack off, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, because judging from the other party's actions, he was obviously wary of them.
"Under Jin Yong, he is the guard of the double fire port." Jin Yong also returned the salute with a fist, and said: "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, and I have never heard of Xiaoyao Island." β
"It's normal that General Jin hasn't heard of it on a remote island. This name is still chosen by us, and outsiders naturally have no way of knowing. Deng recalled.
"I see. I would like to take the liberty to ask again, why did Your Excellency come to my Twin Fire Island this time? β
"General Jin doesn't need to be so polite, I'm not going to do some secret tricks when I come to Shuanghuo Island, so it's okay to tell the general. The purpose is threefold, one is to prepare to sell some things, the second is to prepare to purchase some materials, and the third is to send this Miss Lu home. β
"In that case, I won't bother you, and I'll take my leave." After Jin Yong finished speaking, he was about to leave with his subordinates, but he didn't want to be stopped by Deng Yi.
"I wonder what else is going on with Your Excellency?" Jin Yong asked. He knew in his heart that if the other party really had a ghost on this trip, such a straightforward inquiry would definitely not lead to any results, and he didn't have much hope. He is only a little tempted here, and after that, those who should be on guard will still be on guard, and those who should be monitored will still be monitored.
"I would venture to ask, is the Isle of Twin Fires so cautious about all foreign ships?" Deng Yi asked so knowingly to show his attitude, to prove that he was above board, and he had no intention of harming Shuanghuo Island. Let the other party no longer be suspicious and affect their own behavior.
"That's not it, otherwise wouldn't I be tired to death?"
"Then why ......" Deng Yi pretended to be puzzled.
"For your fleet is neither like merchant ships nor pirates. The sailors on the ship are not ordinary sailors, they are obviously all soldiers with armor, and there are many of them, I am afraid that there are no less than two thousand. Such a strange fleet that poses no small threat will naturally make people highly vigilant. General Jin is also a bold person, and Deng Yi's attitude is sincere, which gives him a very good impression, and he doesn't feel like a stingy villain, so he is outspoken.
"Haha, I think the general misunderstood. Don't look at the nine big ships below, in fact, there are only 600 soldiers to guard the safety. The extra ships were all captured from pirates, and they were brought over just to find a suitable buyer and sold. By the way, I don't know if the general has a way, can he help him sell these ships? When I first came to Guidao, I was unfamiliar with the place, and it was inconvenient to act. If the general can help with this, he will be grateful. β
