Chapter 80
() "Homeland" fleet at sea.
Zheng Jing stood on the bow of the "Master of the Family" and took a deep breath, the smell of sea water in the air lifted his spirits.
Perhaps he is destined to be a person born in the sea and grew up in the sea in this life, and the boundless sea is full of magical magic in his eyes, so that his whole person will be accompanied by it every day without getting bored.
"Rear Admiral Zheng, why did you get up early, don't you think the two of us are crowded in your captain's room and you can't stand it?" Tang Xu and Lang Zhong also got out of the cabin and walked behind Zheng Jing.
"Commander Tang, Lang Dutong, are you satisfied with this sea trip?" Zheng Jing didn't look back and knew that in addition to Tang Xu who was talking, there was another core figure of the "homeland" behind him, Lang Zhong, because the murderous aura that he involuntarily exuded from his body had already made Zheng Jing feel a friendly "threat".
"As long as you can steer the boat steady, I feel like it's been a good trip!" Lang Zhong muttered.
Zheng Jing and Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle when they heard it. Because no one thought that the "blood knife" galloping on horseback would vomit in the dark after getting on the boat on the first day, making everyone cry and laugh. Although it had been several days of sailing, Lang Zhong's seasickness reaction had been alleviated a lot, but at this time, looking at the tired look on his face, he knew that this trip was a disaster for him.
And at that time, all the people remember that he himself ran to the camp of the head of the house and asked to send himself to the rear of the enemy. Now Lang Zhongzhong has already scolded himself to the point that he has had a boat experience on Luoshui and thinks that it will be no different at sea, where do you know that it is not the case at all. As soon as there is a big wave, the boat will rise and fall, swaying from side to side, and his stomach will also turn over the river and the sea, and the uncomfortable taste is more painful than being cut with a sword. In the future, I will definitely not be so "proactive". Now his greatest wish is to get to the shore as soon as possible, otherwise he really doubts that he will be able to lift the bloody tooth knife when the time comes. Seasickness and vomiting made him feel like he was going to collapse, his hands were weak, his legs were weak, and he had never been so slumped in his life. The most annoying thing is that the dead fox, who turns around around his side all day long, asks this and that all at once, making his already headache head feel even more swollen and dizzy.
"Oh, our head wolf finally spoke today, is he in good spirits!" Zheng Jing quipped.
"Major General Zheng, you be quiet, wait a minute to provoke your little brother, oh, our wolf is going to have a headache again!" Tang Xu was also on the side.
Without waiting for Zheng Jing, after Tang Xu finished speaking, a familiar child's voice came, and Lang Zhong's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Boss Zheng, get up so early!Ah, Brother Lang is also here, great!" Zheng Ru jumped up and ran in front of Lang Zhong, pulled Lang Zhong and said, "Brother Lang, the story you told yesterday is not over, how did you break out of the encirclement of more than 3,000 Atterbury troops that time?"
"Running out on two legs!" Looking at the bouncing figure beside him, Lang Zhong, who was already a little dizzy in his head, became even more painful, and wanted to faint immediately and force this annoying fox away. But after the "test" of the past few days, this bit of Cheng dù seems to be not enough to make him faint immediately, and now he can only sigh in his heart.
Zheng Jing and Tang Xu on the side laughed out loud when they saw Zheng Ru's excited expression and Lang Zhong's bitter gourd face.
Two schadenfrefreude guys!
Lang Zhong glared at them fiercely, but in the end, he was pulled away by Zheng Ru.
Seeing Lang Zhong and Zheng Ru walking away, Tang Xu and Zheng Jing looked at each other and smiled.
"Rear Admiral Zheng, you have to take a good look, your naval staff is very interested in our knights, maybe one day they will become deserters of the navy and sneak to our side!"
"Xiao Ru should like Lang Zhong a lot! I think she will be happy with him!" Zheng Jing said with emotion.
"She?" Tang Xu felt that something was wrong. I have always felt that Zheng Jing cares too much about Zheng Ru's affairs, and has surpassed a brother's concern for his younger brother.
"Yes, Zheng Ru is a girl who was adopted by me. But with us pirates all day long, she's also used to men's attire. Still, I guess she thinks she's a boy now!"
"Adoptive?"
"Yes! When I first met her, she was just a ten-year-old girl. Maybe it's a tsunami, and she's the only one left in their village. I was already a pirate leader at the time, so I adopted her. But it's really strange, she is particularly interested in navigation, and she is simply a genius in terms of the tactics of the sea fleet, but it's a pity that she is a girl!" Zheng Jing's tone was full of a father's love for his daughter.
"Does the head of the family know?" Tang Xu thought of Bai Ruolan, who had extraordinary intelligence, and could not hold a military position because she was a girl, and thought of his fiancée Su Bingbing, although she had a good martial arts, she did not become the general of the "homeland" because of her own opposition.
"I think from the eyes of the head of the family, I should have seen that Zheng Ru was a girl when I first met her!"
"It seems that she is luckier than Sister Ruolan and Bingbing!" Tang Xu sighed.
"You mean the fiancée and sister of the head of the house!"
"It's also my fiancée!" Tang Xu said with a smile.
"Yes, I also forgot, the head of the family's sister Su Bingbing is your fiancée, I heard that she knocked you out of the ring at the 'Youth Martial Arts Competition' last year!"
"Yes, to be honest, Bingbing's martial arts are in no way inferior to mine. As for Sister Ruolan, I think you also know that even our guest Xu Ruoyu admires her intelligence and strategy, but because she is the fiancée of the head of the family, she has not participated in military affairs, which cannot but be said to be a misfortune as a girl!"
"Yes, for a while, I was against Xiaoru learning anything about naval warfare, but then I thought that it seemed unfair to her, so I let her go. Someone will take care of this little girl in the future, so naturally don't be ** at that time!" Zheng Jing said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tang Xu couldn't help but smile when Lang Zhong and Zheng Ru were together in his mind.
This time, the "Homeland" navy not only mobilized all 14 warships, but also used 10 merchant ships responsible for shipping to raise funds for the navy, and transported 3,000 cavalry of the "homeland" to Fengxiang to the town where Li Yuxuan had docked on his southward journey, Amy. And this time all the horses were handed over to ten merchant ships, Zheng Jing also got rid of the terrifying smell of horse manure, for this operation, he was 100,000 satisfied, smiling all day long, chatting and drinking with Tang Xu, and living a good life.
In just ten days, the entire fleet finally reached the destination of the trip, the small town of Amy.
Lang Zhong was the first to get off the boat, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the dock, Lang Zhong couldn't help but jump up from the boat, stepping on the solid earth under his feet, it was so wonderful that Lang Zhong couldn't help but laugh.
The second to go ashore was Zheng Ru, seeing Lang Zhong go ashore, Zheng Ru waited for the sampan to get on the dock, and also slipped to the shore at once, grabbed Lang Zhong and said: "Wait for me!"
At this moment, Lang Zhong realized that he was happy too early, and only one of his problems was removed, and another could not be shaken off!
At this time, the mayor of the town ran over. Since Zheng Ru had been here once last time, he knew Zheng Ru. The two hundred gold coins he had obtained last time still excite him. This time there are more than two dozen ships, so I am not making a fortune.
"Young Master, you're here again!" The mayor had a welcoming expression, and that smile made Lang Zhong on the side feel disgusted, and hurriedly retreated behind Zheng Ru. He didn't want to faint again as soon as he got off the boat.
"Yes, hello!" Zheng Ru didn't forget about the last thing, where was there such a high landing fee, if it wasn't for the fact that the head of the family had already nodded at that time, he wouldn't have picked up this dead old man who was greedy for money. Now that he dares to come, wouldn't it be a pity not to teach him a lesson?
"Young Master, there are really a lot of ships in your fleet this time!"
"Yes, there are twenty-four ships in total, do you have anything to do?" Zheng Ru remained silent, knowing that his nickname "Red Fox" was not called in vain.
"It's nothing, but I want to ask, the cost of this docking ......" The mayor of the town was happy at this time, twenty-four ships, each with two hundred gold coins, a total of four thousand eight hundred gold coins, plus the last time it was five thousand gold coins. Oh my God, I'm not richer than those aristocratic lords. The mayor of the town has already begun to think about his "bright future" in his mind.
"Shore fee! This matter is not in my hands!" Zheng Ru said with her hands outstretched.
The mayor was slightly stunned, but immediately asked, "Then who is in charge this time?"
"It's him!" Zheng Ru suddenly pushed Lang Zhong behind him in front of the mayor.
Looking at Lang Zhong, who was standing in front of him at the moment, he was a whole head taller than Zheng Ru, his face was full of anger, and he knew at a glance that he was not a person to deal with, and the mayor felt a little scared unconsciously. But in the end, it was obviously Jin Zi who overcame his fear, and still asked, "This young master, ...... about this landing fee?"
Lang Zhong didn't have a good impression of the old man in front of him, and what kind of shore fee, he didn't know that there was such a thing at all, and said with a dark face:
"What shore fee, I'm going to get off the boat here, who are you, why are you asking me for money?"
"Uncle, you won't be ......" The mayor of the town looked frightened, and the fierce fighting spirit exuded from Lang Zhong's body made his whole body tremble. Zheng Ru, who was hiding behind Lang Zhong, saw the mayor trembling and covered her mouth with joy.
At this moment, the soldiers of the "homeland" on the warship began to disembark and paced towards an open space in the town, where they were ready to form their formation.
The mayor watched as the warriors in armor and weapons in their hands were constantly disembarking from the ship and walking past him, and the whole person was stupid, and his mouth was open and he couldn't speak. The two soldiers handed Lang Zhong's weapon, the Bloodtooth Knife, into his hands.
Lang Zhong held the bloody tooth knife that was more than one person long and waved it in front of the mayor and said, "Do you still want a shore fee?"
"No, you don't dare, you, please!" replied the mayor tremblingly.
Lang Zhong turned around, suddenly grimaced at Zheng Ru, and walked towards the clearing in the town. But Zheng Ru seemed to think of something, her whole face turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Zheng Jing was also getting off the boat with Tang Xu at this moment, and the two of them saw the scene just now in their eyes, looking at each other and smiling.
Zheng Jing walked up to Zheng Ru's side, reached out and patted Zheng Ru's shoulder. Zheng Ru jumped up like a frightened rabbit. When he saw that it was Zheng Jing, he suddenly threw himself into his arms and said coquettishly: "Boss Zheng!"
Zheng Jing patted Zheng Ru's back, leaned his head and whispered in his ear, "You sued him?"
Zheng Ru shook her head gently in Zheng Jing's arms.
"Then why did he make a face at you?"
"Who knows, he's weird!"
In fact, Lang Zhong also likes this little guy in his heart, although he is annoying, but when he vomits in the dark, he takes care of himself, and he also has a good impression of Zheng Ru himself. However, the current Lang Zhong does not know that he has fallen into the "trap" of a little fox.
