Chapter Twenty-Six: The Long Story Needs to End Concisely
"Lady, whose little ghost is this? Why do you hold on? Lyle asked with a smile at Ah Liang, who was hiding behind Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang, who hadn't had time to express his longing, was stunned for a moment, and shouted with wide eyes: "You are stupid when you go to sea!" I don't even know my own son!? ”
"I'm not stupid, I just had a hunch that Ah Liang wouldn't remember me, so I struck first~" Lyle puffed up his chest, not knowing where the pride came from.
"......" Sun Shangxiang was half angry at this answer, and it took a while to ease his breath and pull Ah Liang out from behind, "Even if your son can't recognize you, it's not your problem as a father!" I don't want to think about how long I've been out! ”
Although he once sailed with Lyle, since Ah Liang was born, Sun Shangxiang has been approaching the role of 'mother' every year, and now he has changed from the [pro-nautical camp] to the [anti-nautical camp].
"I've never denied that, I'm not a good father." Lyle squatted down and smiled at Ah Liang, who was still with a twinkle in his eyes, "However, who made me a father and you are a cub, if you have any complaints, you will take revenge on your own cub in the future." ”
"Hey! How do you teach children! Sun Shangxiang reached out and pulled Lyle by the collar and forcibly pulled him up.
Lyle laughed dryly and didn't say anything more.
In fact, he is not as hard-hearted as he seems on the surface, but he can't express this guilt...... Don't talk about hypocrisy, while talking about guilt, or go to sea according to the plan, what does that mean?
Most people can theoretically juggle their careers and families, but if they don't, it's a problem in practice, but Lyle is theoretically impossible to juggle career and family - if you don't give up your sailing career, or you don't give up the joy of family, you can't take your young children to the dangerous sea, right? Even if you don't encounter a sea disaster, there is a high probability of dying early.
"By the way, lady, don't you give Xianggong a warm hug?" Lyle opened his arms and blinked.
"Nope." Sun Shangxiang shook over and slapped a knife.
Originally, there was, but a few words from Lyle washed away the feelings of the husband and wife...... Of course, it's just a little delayed, and when the two of them are alone at night, a little chat will immediately turn into a dry firewood fire.
"Answer me a question first," Sun Shangxiang wanted to ask a lot of things, such as how he came up with the idea of asking the Zhu Luo Kingdom to cede territory, such as whether the two maids were pregnant, such as whether they brought foreign concubines, but the most important question was always only that one, "When is the next time you expect to go to sea?" ”
"Two years later." Lyle put away his smile, he knew that the answer Sun Shangxiang wanted was [no more going to sea after that], but he couldn't give it, "Surrender the forces on Ceylon Island in the first year, and start governance in the second year, and the port I want that can safely anchor and replenish supplies will be put into use at that time." ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded, this is barely good news...... It's good to be able to rest assured for two years.
however
"—But after the port on the island of Ceylon is built, you won't be returning to Dawu." Zhuge Liang, who walked in from the outside, said the words that Lyle didn't say.
“!?” Sun Shangxiang could no longer maintain the cold arrogance she pretended.
"Yes, as my father said, as long as Dawu's ammunition can reach Ceylon, and Ceylon itself can provide food, drinking water, and ship maintenance, I will not waste time on frequent round-trip trips." Lyle turned around, bowed down to Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, and apologized for his unfilial actions in the future, "In the future, I will probably keep repeating the same thing, and through the pirate business, I will try my best to bite a territory from another country, win people's hearts, turn locals into sailors, and let myself go further." ”
Zhuge Liang turned his back and didn't look at the posture of his only son, lest he soften his heart: "...... Go ahead, lead the Han people out, and the outside world you show will be used by future generations. ”
"Yes!" The perfect combination of selfish desire and righteousness, Lyle no longer hesitated.
“…… Marry the chicken with the chicken. After Sun Shangxiang finished saying these four words, he squatted down and hugged Ah Liang tightly.
There is not much time left for them to spend time with mother and son.
Lyle wasn't a good father, and she's not a good mother.
————————————————————————————————
Although Lyle was only 21 years old after his second voyage, he was far from the end of his life; Although Lyle's life was magnificent, a bloody storm was set off everywhere he went; Although Lyle's voyage was significant and changed the fate of his countrymen – the basic development was the same as Lyle's plan, and the same routine is not worth describing in detail.
Before the age of 30: The appearance of the arquebus tilted the scales of victory in favor of Sun Wu, who continued to strongly support Lyle's seafaring career; Lyle's fleet reached the Arabian Sea, harassed the Kushan enemy kingdom and the Sabbatarian Empire, and began the slave trade.
Before the age of 40: Wu destroyed Wei, unified the country, Sun Quan became emperor, and played internal political games; Lyle's fleet reached the Mediterranean, invading the Roman Empire and continuing westward to discover North America.
Before the age of 50: Sun Quan was deaf in his later years, especially in the succession, he was indecisive, forced to be loyal to the good, and the phenomenon of self-reliance in overseas colonies appeared; Lyle's fleet paid a heavy price and crossed the Pacific Ocean to return to Dawu.
Before the age of 60: Sun Quan died, and Dawu fell into a storm of political struggle, but it finally did not evolve into a situation of civil war and territorial division; Sun Shangxiang died of illness, and Lyle did not interfere in politics, but promoted the high-yield crops he found during his travels, and began to travel around the territory of Dawu.
At the age of 65, he realized that he had no regrets in his life, fulfilled his youthful dream, left the fleet for the New World in a specially built solo sailboat, and headed north, eventually dying in the Arctic Ocean.
- This is the life of the infamous 'One Piece' Lyle, who for a long time was regarded as the patron saint of voyagers.
And then.
His soul passed through the dimensional passage generated by the [Divine Apparatus-Reincarnation Mirror], and merged into a river-like soul path to reach the dimensional where the reincarnation god was located.
“……?” This time, the reincarnation god didn't crash.
She just pulled Lyle's soul out alone, and her huge and empty eyes didn't know if they were looking at Lyle's incomparably small soul, but it was certain that Lyle's soul paused in front of the reincarnated god for about ten seconds, as if he was being re-examined.
"............" Then, according to the rules set before, the reincarnation god added a faint divine power to the soul of the deceased who had been blessed by her first and only one and threw it into a higher world.
Lyle's life may have ended once, but it will begin again.
