Chapter 542: Set Sail
The launching ceremony of the expeditionary fleet was held in the newly built military port next to the headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps.
The whole ceremony was lengthy and complicated, first the imperial officials had to explain the significance of the expedition to the people of the whole continent, they had to encourage and spur the expeditionary fleet, and finally they had to express their gratitude for the support and cooperation of all forces.
This is followed by a ritual to worship the god of the sea. After all, if you want to go deep into the unknown sea with just a chart, you should say hello to the gods and ask for help.
However, Gangu Yu was really not interested in watching the group of people from the Chongbang family dancing the gods, and almost fell asleep a few times. In order to avoid being accused of blasphemy, he simply sneaked out of the harbor and went to inspect the cargo ships in the Natural Forest.
"Hey, isn't this the Holy Son, why are you here?"
Gan Guyu heard a courteous voice behind him, looked back, and smiled slightly: "You are?"
Not far away, a man in kitchen clothes was smiling innocently: "The little one is the cook on the Guangyao, you can call me Red." By the way, Holy Son, shouldn't you be over there for the opening ceremony?"
Gangu Yu smiled: "Well, I'm worried that the people below will make a mistake in their busy work and miss the goods, so I'll come over and take a look." ”
"I see. Red bowed down and smiled, "It's really worthy of you, you are serious in doing things." ”
"There's no way!" Gan Guyu spread his hands, "This trip is far away, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, all the supplies must be prepared, if there is any omission, it will be troublesome, I can't let the ship turn around and return to port, right?"
"That's it. Red nodded again, and then said, "With your identity, you must be able to use the Guangyao, maybe the small cooking dishes can still be lucky enough to enter your mouth!"
The Kwangyao was one of those two giant warships, and the flagship of the fleet, Gangu Woo's quarters, were also arranged there. He smiled at Red, "yes? I'm looking forward to your dishes." Then I'm going to have to work hard for you. ”
"Ouch, that's a small shame. Compared to the craftsmanship of Tingyu Restaurant and vitamin food stalls, this is not worth mentioning. Red hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hehe, the adults are busy, and the small ones won't bother." ”
"Okay, see you on board. Gangu Yu nodded.
"Hey, hey, little retirement. Red saluted again, then turned to leave.
After Red left, a man dressed in a strong suit with a holy leaf-shaped tattoo on his wrist came behind Gangu Yu: "Holy Son." ”
"It's all arranged?" said Gan Guyu lightly.
The man nodded: "Our own people have been arranged in the control room and kitchen as much as possible, and there are still soldiers from the empire inside, and no suspicious people have been found mixed in for the time being." ”
Gan Guyu was silent for a while before saying, "If there is no problem on the ship, then the crisis may come from the sea." If that's the case, you probably won't be able to come back. ”
When the man heard this, he immediately straightened up, and a trace of fanaticism appeared in his eyes: "It is our honor to be loyal to Mother Nature!"
Gangu Yu nodded silently, and said after a long time: "Go ahead." ”
The man bowed firmly, then stepped back again.
It is estimated that the ceremony should have come to an end, and Gangu Yu returned to the crowded ceremony site. Sure enough, after a while, the ceremony ended, and everyone began to board the ship in an orderly manner.
The team that came to see Gangu Rain off was quite large. Pei Pei Lina Yin Yimo and the three daughters were leading, and behind them stood all the people of the vitamin department, Ai Jin'er Lansel and other personal apprentices, as well as the students who did not have classes or skipped class.
Pei Pei's eyes were still red, and he had obviously cried. Yin Yimo's expression was indifferent, but she didn't dare to look directly at Gan Guyu. Only Lena was smiling, and she poured the liquor without a sip.
Gan Guyu couldn't stand this scene, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing? Send my brother to the execution ground? It's okay, let's go back quickly!"
"When are you coming back?" asked Pei Pei twitchingly.
"It's not good, but I'll be back as soon as I can. Gangu Yu touched her little head and chuckled, "Be obedient at home, you know?"
"Don't keep treating me like a child!" Pei Pei knocked off Gangu Yu's hand for the first time, and muttered angrily.
"Yes, yes, the stinky girl is not a child. Lena hugged Pei Pei Pei and smiled evilly, "The stinky girl can already give a big fat boy to the stinky little ghost, right?
She didn't deliberately lower her voice, so that the people around her could hear it clearly, and she couldn't help but have black lines on her head. Seeing that Pei Pei's little face was red and purple, Gan Guyu hurriedly scolded: "Stinky woman, you are enough, what kind of ability is it to catch a thin-skinned bully?"
"That's right. Yin Yimo said lightly, "Some people think about it themselves, well, but they don't dare to admit it, so they have to make fun of others, and they are not ashamed." ”
"Who said that the old lady didn't dare to admit it?" Lena poured another sip of wine and handed the remaining half bottle to Gangu Yu, "Stinky little ghost, you listen to the old lady, if you come back late, the old lady won't wait for you." If one day the old lady takes a look at a white and chubby little offspring, don't blame you for not warning you in advance. ”
Gan Guyu took the wine bottle and took a sip, and was instantly smacked by the spicy spicy words: "It's not surprising that you look at which little fresh meat, brother, but you have to be the other party to look at you! ”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, Bao Da Menghe and others laughed particularly presumptuously, and the atmosphere of the solemn farewell scene was relaxed.
Lansel took the opportunity to take a step forward: "The teacher cherishes all the way. By the time you return, the next few volumes of "Spring and Autumn Techniques" must have been placed on your desk. ”
Gangu Yu nodded at him: "Don't ******** just make up books." You should also pay attention to the big and small discussions on the mainland about the "Spring and Autumn Technique", and sometimes you can also speak on behalf of the official and end some meaningless debates. When necessary, you can also hold a discussion forum, a tea party or something. The academic atmosphere on the mainland is not easy to come by, and we must try our best to maintain it. ”
"I understand. Lancel bowed.
"I'll vigorously promote our hybrid plants!" Ai Jin'er on the side also shouted lonely, "You have to come back early, otherwise my follow-up experiment will be stranded." ”
"Got it, it's really a bunny bunny who can't live without my brother. Gangu Yu shook his head with a wry smile, didn't look at everyone anymore, waved his hand and turned around in a dashing manner, and walked towards the giant battleship in the harbor.
Looking at Gangu Yu, who was getting farther away, two lines of tears slipped down Peipei's face, Yin Yimo also clenched her hands and gritted her teeth, Lena took out a vague smile, took out another bottle of spirits, and poured it up with a lift of her neck. (To be continued.) )
