Chapter 495: Son (I)
Chapter 495: Son (I)
In the evening, the sunset is extraordinarily beautiful, and the brilliant colors gradually diffuse into a piece at the other end of the sea, occupying half of the sky, just like a plate of gorgeous paint, which was knocked over in the water, so it was suddenly colorful.
More than a dozen warships full of refugees were riding the wind and waves at sea at this time, and they were far away from the sea area of the royal capital against the beautiful background of the sunset and the end of the sea, and they were traveling farther and farther.
"Everybody's working, in a few days, we'll be home!"
"Hahahaha......"
The naval sailors on the battleship all looked like they were smiling.
Although the journey back to their hometown is a little difficult, people who are full of expectations are always the happiest, because they have thoughts, thoughts, and their hearts are full, so they can no longer put any distractions, and they will not feel the hard work of the wind and sun, the only thing that torments them is the heart that looks forward to returning home sooner.
On the main battleship at the front, Romon stood on the deck, wearing an extremely light robe, looking very thin, but he still looked at ease, and there was no chill in the cold sea breeze at all.
"My lord, the sea breeze is a little strong, you better go in and rest. Fearing that the lord would be sick for too long, an officer in charge of internal affairs on the battleship walked up to the figure and persuaded him.
It wasn't that Luo Meng didn't see the genuine concern on the other party's face, but he still shook his head and said, "That's the case, it's a little stuffy in the cabin, I'll stay here for a while, and I'll go back after a little breathe." ”
His tone, though gentle, was not something that could be easily changed.
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, the officer had no choice but to mutter a few more words, no longer persuade him, but returned to work.
And just as the officer turned to leave, a figure suddenly blew in front of Romon like a small whirlwind, and suddenly stopped the whirlwind.
"My lord, the cape. A deep voice rang out at the same time.
Saying that, Luo Meng was not allowed to object, of course, there was really no time to allow Luo Meng to object, so Lu Xiupei took one of Luo Meng's cloaks very quickly and draped it on Luo Meng's body.
"In a few days, I'll be back on territory, and I'm a little homesick. Luo Meng tightened the cloak on his body, although he didn't feel cold, he still nodded towards Lu Xiupei.
Seeing that Lu Xiupei's expression was still the same, he couldn't help asking, "Do you miss home?"
"I think about it. Lu Xiupei's answer was decent, but it gave Luo Meng some urge to wipe his sweat.
This Lu Xiupei is always at a glance in everything he does, and sometimes this reaction is really depressing.
However, when he inadvertently looked into Lu Xiupei's eyes, he found that there was a kind of forbearance and homesickness in the eyes of this cold man, which swept by.
Luo Meng was stunned, and then he realized that it was not that Lu Xiupei had no emotions, but that his character prompted him to keep his emotions hidden and not leak out.
"Well, if you want to go home, I'm homesick too. Luo Meng sighed secretly, knowing that most of this kind of character couldn't be changed, so he had to gently pat Lu Xiupei's shoulder, as if he was giving comfort to the other party.
Lu Xiupei, as Luo Meng's personal attendant, his duty, when he saw Luo Meng's unhappy expression, he immediately said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, although the sea route is not very peaceful now, but the pirates who really dare to stop the battleship are not yet, if there is danger, I will swear to defend your lordship." ”
"I'm not worried about pirates on the road, I'm ......" I wanted to say that I was because of your character, but when the words came to my mouth, I endured the words again, sighed again, and turned back to the cabin.
And this chief attendant, Lu Xiupei, continued to stick to his post, came to the door of the cabin where Luo Meng was, and was on duty seriously, I have to say that his level of dedication is by no means something ordinary people can do.
In this way, the sun set completely, and the bright moon rose high into the sky, emitting a bright moonlight.
The sea was calm at night, and a dozen warships moved on without stopping, and the next morning they arrived at a port not very far from Yuanfan Town, where they set sail again after a short rest.
After that, it took another four days for the port of Treasure Island to fully appear in the eyes of everyone, and although it was still some distance from land, it was no different from arriving at Treasure Island as if it were home, and the sailors had come out of their cabins, stood on deck, and cheered to their heart's content.
The refugees, who had been confused, suddenly looked forward to life on the island after seeing such an imposing port.
Perhaps, their future is not as bad as they think.
"My lord, do you want to go back to the territory directly, or will you stay and guide our work?" Seeing that Romon was standing on the boat, he did not give the order to leave or get off the ship, and the person in charge of the affairs of the island stood below, cautiously asking.
Hearing the official's inquiry, Romon came back to his senses. "What did you say?"
The person in charge of the island's affairs had to carefully repeat what he had just said, Romon thought about it, although he wanted to inspect the island, and really wanted to go home first, after thinking about it, he said: "That's it, this place will be handed over to you in the future, I will go back to the territory first, and if there is anything, I will convey it to the territory as soon as possible, but, no matter what, this group of refugees must be arranged, you know?"
Romon explained again and again.
"Please rest assured, we will take care of these refugees. "The first few placements have had a very detailed division of labor, don't look at the thousands of people brought back this time, look at the chaos, in fact, as long as you arrange people, you can be placed soon.
Luo Meng nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first." ”
With that, he left most of the ships of the Fifth Fleet to patrol around the island, while he rode the main battleship towards Yuanfan Harbor.
As soon as the battleship docked, someone immediately went to inform Sukar, the mayor of Yuanfan Town, and learned that it was the Fifth Fleet that had returned, Sukal put down his work and rushed to Yuanfan Port with his people.
As soon as he arrived at the port of Yuanfan Harbor, he happened to see Romon walking down from the main battleship under the protection of Lu Xiupei.
"Your Excellency!" called Sukar happily.
"Sukar, I haven't seen you for many days, and you're strong again. Romon walked over and said.
"But the adults have lost weight. Sukar looked at Romon who had lost a lot of weight, and looked at the attendants who had followed Romon off the boat with some dissatisfaction. "Don't you have to take care of the adults, how do you lose weight?"
"Don't blame them, I've been in Wangcheng for more than a month, and I'm going around like this every day, so it's no wonder if I'm not thin. How's it going, it's okay on the territory?" asked Romon as he helped his squire out of the siege.
"The situation in the territory is fine, but the Viscountess has been sending men to the port every day lately to inquire as if the Lordship was coming back. Sukar scratched his head, and suddenly remembered this.
Thinking of his wife and the soon-to-be-born child, Luo Meng's face suddenly overflowed with a smile: "Haha, I miss her too, so I won't tell you yet, I'll go back and take a look first, and I'll talk about it when I have a meeting." ”
"That's fine, my lord should accompany Madame well, I have already prepared the carriage and war horses, and they are over there. Sukal nodded approvingly, and led Romon and his attendants to the carriage and horses.
Seeing that the carriage prepared was comfortable and spacious, and the war horse was even more handsome, Luo Meng nodded, and without the support of the attendants, he got into the carriage with great dexterity.
Lu Xiupei was still acting as his chauffeur, and the other ten attendants were on their horses.
"Sukar, see you when the meeting begins. Bidding farewell to Sucar, Romon led the men to his own territory. When he arrived at the territory, Romon returned home first, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his wife Eleni, who had a big belly, sewing something with her head down, and when she heard someone coming in, Eleni raised her head.
"Romon!" So, the husband and wife met, and they were very intimate.
After the two sat down and talked for a while, Romon picked up what his wife had sewn just now from the table, and when he saw it, it was actually a set of baby clothes, the texture was excellent, and the most rare thing was that it was actually made by Eleni herself, you know, as a viscountess in a rich territory, Eleni only needs to move her mouth, what clothes do you want?
And she was able to do it herself, which made Luo Meng feel very warm.
He gently hugged his wife into his arms and whispered, "It's good to have you." ”
Just one sentence made Eleni's face smile brighter, and she said with a smile: "I did it for my son." ”
"Son, are you really sure?"
"Yes, I am a pastor myself, and I have already distinguished between a pregnant man and a woman. Eleni said with a smile, changing into a regular tone: "My lord, you have a son." ”
"Good!" said Romone.
Now in the territory of Romon, there is a flourishing.
Due to the replenishment of coastal refugees, the wasteland in the territory has basically been filled, and hundreds of families in the four towns in the interior have also been filled.
Treasure Island now has six villages, which manage farmland, tea forests, and crystal fruits.
On the Treasure Island port, there are always thousands of households in the port area, commercial area, and residential area, and there is no shortage of population in operation.
This time, the Forest House earned 500,000 silver coins at once, which greatly supplemented the territorial finances.
It also made it possible to buy stones and build a castle on Treasure Island.
The Order has been established under the command of Wawik, with about 800 men, enough to protect the security of the territory.
What is lacking for the realm and the subjects is indeed a male heir.
Of course, it is not impossible to have a female heir, but a female heir often leads to many problems.
Given the size of Romon's domain, it is possible that the king would interfere with the marriage of the heiress in order to effectively seize Romon's domain.
