Fifteen years later.

Jinyang City, in the underground secret room of Xu Huabiao's home.

"Childe, what are you doing?"

"What do you do...... Don't mess around. ”

Xu Huabiao stretched out his hand and knocked off Lin Yun'er's hand that reached out to grab the experimental equipment he was making.

"Yikes! Hurt! Lin Yun'er kicked Xu Huabiao gently.

"I haven't seen you for almost half a month, where have you gone?" Xu Huabiao asked Lin Yun'er while continuing to focus on what he was doing.

"I took the kids into the mountains with Suzy to hunt." Lin Yun'er smiled and said, "Sailun beat a tiger yesterday......"

“…… Okay. Xu Huabiao smiled speechlessly and shook his head, "Well, it's good to be happy." The three of them...... It's like their sister! ”

"It's like their mother!!" Lin Yun'er glanced at Xu Huabiao, "How can you speak!" It's good to be like their godmothers! Suzy likes the three of them now! The three of them are now closer to Suzy than to me......"

"Who let you have nothing to do and always train them, the child is in the rebellious period, you have to praise more and scold less!"

"I didn't say that wrong about them! When I was their age, I had already been a guard for Lord Li Xiuman, and last month, didn't the Western Regions Protectorate say that there were some attacks, I said that I arranged for them to follow Youzhen to do a favor or at least find something to do, one by one, it's good, cry with me, make trouble and hang yourself, I want to play at home every day......"

"When Brother Zhong asked them to stay in Luoyang with me, he just didn't want them to suffer that, so if he didn't want to go, he wouldn't go! I can't let those who know think that as soon as Brother Zhong Guo left, I won't want to see his daughter on my side. Anyway, with Taeyeon sitting over there, as well as Yoo Jin and Jeon So-mi, those beam-jumping clowns can't turn the sky. ”

“…… The three of them are used to you!! ”

"Didn't I say that? The daughter is the lover of her father's previous life, although I was definitely not so lucky to have such a well-behaved three lovers in my previous life, but what happened to me spoiling them in this life? Xu Huabiao glanced at Lin Yun'er, "Okay!" Could it be that you are still jealous? ”

"How can anyone eat their own daughter's vinegar!" Lin Yun'er snorted, "When I came over just now, I saw a letter in the mailbox outside, so I brought it in." ”

"Don't worry, I'll see ...... at night"

"It's from Chang'an."

“…… Changan? It's been three years since there has been any news from Chang'an, what's the matter? Have you seen it? ”

"It was sent by Ji-eun-sama." Lin Yun'er said as she handed the letter that had been opened to Xu Huabiao, "I invited you to the wedding." ”

"Wedding? Whose wedding? Ji-eun is finally getting married?? Xu Huabiao immediately put down the things in his hand, wiped his hands on his body and took the envelope.

"What! Mingzhu is getting married! ”

“…… Oh yes, it's time. Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment and smiled.

I read the letter once.

"Then I'll go and prepare and set off for Chang'an?" Lin Yun'er looked at Xu Huabiao and asked after reading the letter.

"Actually, I don't really want to go." Xu Huabiao shook his head.

“…… How can there be someone like you, you don't go to be a father when your son gets married? Lin Yuner complained to Xu Huabiao.

"He can't recognize me as a father. I had to salute when I saw him, and it was weird. ”

"That's your son, too!" Lin Yun'er continued to nag: "Okay, I'll go and prepare, let's see if those three girls go......"

"Then can you not go? If they heard that they went to Chang'an to play, they didn't know how happy they were! Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head, "But I really don't want to go!" I get a headache at the thought of going there and seeing a lot of people......"

"What's the headache, they're all old friends!" Lin Yun'er smiled and shook her head, "I still miss them......"

"What's there to think about? Over the years, they have come to Jinyang to play when they have nothing to do, when did you not drink with them? Alright! Go ahead and prepare! I'm trying to finish this last thing tonight, so don't bother me. ”

"Okay! Yes! Lin Yun'er kicked Xu Huabiao lightly again and walked out by herself.

Xu Huabiao continued to devote himself to his experiments as if he had long been accustomed to it.

……

A month later.

A purple carriage, along the official road, came to the capital Chang'an.

This official road from the imperial capital Chang'an, through the eastern capital Luoyang to the northern capital of Jinyang, is the world's first official road with a fully hardened pavement, just completed two years ago, if there is not such a road, and the latest high-speed carriage supervised by the Ministry of Industry, a month from Jinyang to Chang'an, almost impossible to dream.

But now, there is no need to ride a horse, sitting in a carriage, a month's time, is enough for a group of people to come to Chang'an from Jinyang, and there is even leisure to visit the mountains and rivers along the way.

However, the car did not directly follow this official road to the gate of Chang'an City.

Ten miles from the city gate, the carriage stopped.

Because there was a large crowd of people, blocking the carriage.

"What are you doing? Engage in such a big battle. ”

Sitting in the carriage, opening the curtain, looking at Xu Huabiao outside speechlessly, the voice in his mouth was also full of helplessness.

"My lord, you only returned to Chang'an after more than ten years, why do you have to go out of the city for ten miles to meet you! Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that none of us have a conscience? ”

In front of the carriage, Lee Ji-eun had a big smile on his face.

"Anyway, you are also one of the three assistants of the dynasty, what is the lord, don't mess up! Your lord is Your Majesty!! ”

"Of course it won't be messed up, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and the Lord is the Lord, two different things." Li Zhien smiled and shook his head, "Besides, what if it's Sanfu!" It's not your lord's appointment! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what I appointed, you three assistants......"

"Okay! I know! I know! Li Zhien waved his hand, "Okay, lord, follow me into the city!" Lord Nalian has prepared a banquet in the house for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust......"

"Okay, you've said hello, there are so many people behind you!" Xu Huabiao glared at Li Zhien, and then looked behind Li Zhien.

A group of familiar faces, all with smiles.

"Everybody...... It's been a long time! ”

"I've seen the lord."

"Alright!! Why are you trying to send me to the execution ground? Xu Huabiao hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting the salute of a large number of officials, "Really...... I said it, I'm an idle commoner now, and you can make the grass people miserable like this......"

"Alright, Childe, don't be embarrassed here." Pei Xiuzhi, who was driving the carriage, glanced at Xu Huabiao, "Let's go, let's talk about it when we enter the city." ”

"What General Suzy said is that it's not appropriate to block the official road here." Zheng Caiyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry next to him, nodded with a smile, "Let's go, lord." ”

“…… Let's go! Xu Huabiao shook his head helplessly.

The carriage started, followed by a large number of people, and went towards Chang'an City.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

"Master, are you alright?"

"What can I do? It's just drinking, when have I ever coaxed it! But you better rub my head for me, this group of people talk too much, and it hurts my brain. ”

Xu Huabiao said with a smile to Zai Mingjingnan.

Mingjing Nan stood behind Xu Huabiao with a smile, and skillfully rubbed Xu Huabiao's head with both hands.

In the room, it was quiet.

"Master, if you have nothing to do, I'll invite the second lady in a while." Minami Nakai whispered.

"Yun Xi in Chang'an?"

"Master, are you stupid...... General Enjing is here, how can the second lady not be there. Mingjing Nan glanced at Xu Huabiao, "The two of them are quietly in Luoyang!" If you want to come to Chang'an, you must be together! ”

"Then why didn't I see her just now...... Well, yes, she doesn't like this kind of noisy occasion more than I do. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook her head, "But it's so late, I'm afraid she ...... all of them."

"How is it possible, the second lady only returns to Jinyang once a year, and there is not much time to get together with your master, so you should accompany her more, master."

“…… Then you let Sasha go. ”

"Okay." Nai Nan nodded, walked out of the room, and after a while, came back again.

"That's right, Xiao Nan, ......"

"Huh?"

"You...... Do you like living in Jinyang? ”

“…… Master, why do you suddenly ask this? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you were chatting with them very happily today, and I thought you were bored and panicked when you were in Jinyang with me."

"No! Although it is a pleasure to meet these old friends, it is even happier to be with the host! ”

“…… You're getting better at talking. Xu Huabiao sighed softly, "But ...... Well. ”

"What's wrong? Master, you say! ”

"Just now Zhini told me that she built the boat I asked her to build."

"Oh? Boat? What ship...... Oh!! It's the unseemly ship you drew ten years ago, master!! ”

"What do you mean by not being presentable! That ship is called the Black Pearl! Xu Huabiao glanced at Mingjingnan, "But it's hard for you, you still remember what happened ten years ago." ”

“…… I remember everything about the host very well. Nanai smiled, "But master, what did you ask Zhini to build that ship for?" When I asked you, you wouldn't say. ”

"Hmm...... You also saw it today, I came to Chang'an, good guy, there is no official in the entire Chang'an City who is above the third grade, and there is no one who does not come to toast to me......"

"These people originally called you a lord!"

"Yes! Call me my lord......" Xu Huabiao shook his head, "but...... It's dangerous! ”

“…… Why? ”

"Their current lord is a pearl!"

"Mingzhu is your son...... lord"

"But that's him, not me." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Mingzhu was still young and didn't understand this, but now that he is married, in a few years, Jie Qiong and Xiurong should slowly return the power to him, and when the time comes, he will have such a emperor as me on his head, what do you think he will think?" ”

"This ...... Probably not, right? ”

"Power is a terrible thing, it can make a lot of people lose their minds. Have you forgotten Kim So-hui's case six years ago? She used to be a pure little girl! Otherwise, why would Lee Ji-eun hand over the affairs of the household department to her in the first place? Xu Huabiao shook his head, "The position of a household secretary can be like this, let alone the emperor's throne." ”

"What are you going to do, master? You can't be that genius again...... Well, even if you want to do it now, no one should dare to stop you. ”

"If I'm interested, I won't let Mingzhu succeed to the throne at the beginning." Xu Huabiao smiled, "I'...... More interested in something else. ”

"What?"

"Overseas...... Don't you wonder what is on the outside of the sea? ”

“…… So my lord, you asked Zhini to build that big ship? ”

"yes!" Xu Huabiao nodded.

"But master, if you're worried about Young Master Mingzhu...... Then we'll go west! The little general Youzhen over there in the Western Regions has conquered such a large area, and we will go over...... And, master, don't you often think of General Taeyeon? I remember last month's birthday of General Taeyeon, and you drank a lot of wine in front of her portrait......"

"But she doesn't want to see me! Since you can't get along with each other, it's better to forget about each other, and I don't know who taught her! Besides, what else is there on the side of the Western Regions Protectorate? I'm going to find sweet potatoes, corn ......"

“…… What's that? ”

"Eat!"

“…… Master, now that the Central Plains is so rich, there is no need to ......"

"That's because you haven't seen real abundance." Xu Huabiao interrupted Mingjingnan's words, "A hundred-foot tall building, an iron bird that can fly...... Well, these are all things that people can only think and do after they have eaten enough. ”

"Master, you're really too good at eating."

"And, too, tomatoes, peppers...... There are also various ...... of the Spice Islands These are all things that can only be obtained from the sea, alas, after eating the stew with pepper mouth for so many years, I really miss the spicy chicken, boiled pork slices......"

“…… But master, are you leaving the Central Plains? Mingjingnan, who didn't understand what Xu Huabiao said, somewhat found an entry point and continued to chat.

Otherwise, we will die on this day.

"That's why I asked you, do you like the life of Jinyang or Chang'an. If you want to like Jinyang, I will arrange for you to be in Jinyang, and you want to like Chang'an......"

"I'm going to follow you, master! Wherever you go, I'll go! ”

“…… Life at sea is hard. ”

"I'm not afraid!"

"There are sea monsters in the sea, with eight legs, and a head the size of half Chang'an City......"

"Master, you will protect me...... Oh no! I'll protect the master! ”

"......" Xu Huabiao smiled speechlessly and shook his head.

"I don't care, anyway, I'll go wherever you go, master, if you leave me behind...... I'll become a ghost and follow you......"

"That's it! Come on! You're scaring me, okay! I'll take you with me wherever I go! Xu Huabiao hurriedly begged for mercy.

What do you say......

"Master, when are you going to leave?"

"Originally, when I came to Chang'an this time, I wanted to ask how the matter of the Zhini ship was, if the big ship was not done, I planned to get a medium-sized one, go south first, go to the spice islands to get some spices back, since the big ship is done, just right, just set off directly."

"That'...... Master, who are you going to take with you? ”

"Yun'a will definitely follow me, originally I thought it would be just the two of us......"

"I'm going!"

“…… Tap your hand! Xu Huabiao smiled and patted Mingjingnan's hand pressing his head, "I know, just take you." ”

"Not only me, but also Sasha and Xiao Momo, they must also go."

“…… Well, that's pretty much it, someone else...... This time, I'll come to Chang'an to make arrangements, and then, let's go! ”

"Hmm!" Nan nodded with satisfaction.

It was at this time.

The door opened.

"Childe ......"

"Yun Xi...... Why are you here quietly? ”

"Father, I'm also in Chang'an, why have you met your godmother, you've seen your mother, but you haven't seen me!!"

“…… Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't hide from you! All right! Isn't that seeing...... Why do you still cry so much! How many times have you said it, you are the Duke of Yiguo!! It's good to take out some of the dignity of Yi Guogong! I've passed this title back to you in my life, and you've always done it...... You're not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm afraid of being ashamed! ”

“……”

"Yikes! Son! What are you doing! Jingjing is that every time I see you, I am trained by you to become like this......" Li Yunxi couldn't stand it anymore, "She behaves very well in front of outsiders, what's wrong with seeing her father being coquettish?" ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Mother...... My father bullied me......"

"......" Xu Huabiao rubbed his brows.

No, your mother isn't this kind of soft and cute, is she? Who did you learn this from?

Or is it the godmother who gave you your name?

That's even more impossible! Xian Enjing, that's a general!

Forehead...... It seems that Eun Jing's temperament is quite soft.

"Master, you can talk to the eldest lady and the second lady, I'll go find Sasha and Xiao Tao to talk about it." Nan Nai smiled and wanted to escape.

“…… Go ahead. Xu Huabiao nodded.

"What's the matter?" Li Yunxi was also a little helpless by his baby daughter, and tried to change the topic.

"Oh, I plan to leave the Central Plains after this big wedding."

"Huh?? Leaving the Central Plains?? ”

Li Yunxi's mother and daughter shouted out in unison.

……

"Husband, what are you doing! On such a happy day, you told me that you were leaving?? ”

In the blink of an eye, the next day.

The inner courtyard of the palace, Cining Palace.

Zhou Jieqiong had an iron-blue face and looked at Xu Huabiao who was sneering in front of her.

On the side, Li Yunxi's face was also very bad.

"What, I'm here for the good of our son, I'm here...... He's really not good at playing. ”

"That's what you said! Will the co-author son get you in trouble? How badly do you think I taught my children? ”

“…… That's not what I meant......"

"What does that mean??"

“…… I'm looking for something for the stability of my son's country......"

"I don't need you! Just arrange a few fleets to go out, can you go by yourself? Are you an idiot to me? Zhou Jieqiong became more and more angry.

"Sister, don't be angry." Park Xiurong, who had been silent beside him, persuaded Zhou Jieqiong, "Young Master Xu, you are really ...... What are you doing? How could Mingzhu do such a thing! ”

"But the problem is that he doesn't know something......

Xu Huabiao's voice did not fall.

Ahn Hee-yeon walked in.

"The two queen mothers, Your Majesty and Niangniang have come to say goodbye."

"Well, let him in...... Don't let anyone in. Well, that's right, Jihyo! ”

"What do the Empress Dowager Xi command?" Song Zhixiao, who had been standing quietly behind Zhou Jieqiong, answered.

"Go to my house and get the handkerchief I embroidered, and let the child take it later."

"Yes."

Ahn Hee-yeon and Song Ji-hyo walked out together.

Soon.

A young man walked in with a young girl.

"I've seen Your Majesty ......" Xu Huabiao stood up, intending to salute.

"Sit down!!" Zhou Jieqiong glared at Xu Huabiao.

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

"I've seen my mother." The young man saluted Zhou Jieqiong.

Then the girl next to her followed.

"I've seen the Queen Mother of the West."

And then.

"Mother, bow down." The young man saluted Park so-young.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

And then.

The young man looked at Xu Huabiao.

“…… I've seen my father. ”

"I've seen ......," the woman glanced at the young man.

Obviously, she didn't know how to say hello.

“…… It's the same with me. The man nodded.

"I've seen my father."

Then the two of them knelt down in front of Xu Huabiao and kowtowed.

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

And then.

"No, you're crazy? How can you tell a child about this kind of thing......" Xu Huabiao began to get angry at Zhou Jieqiong.

"Why can't you tell it? You gave it to him all this day, if he didn't know that you were his father, would he pay it back? "Zhou Jieqiong is more angry than Xu Huabiao.

"But this kind of thing ......," Xu Huabiao glanced at his son.

This is the first time he has seen his eldest son in more than a decade.

Well, he looks quite handsome, like himself.

"What's wrong with this? What is there to hide? But anyone who knows your son, who can't see that Your Majesty is your son! You're ...... with him It's exactly the same! Park Xiurong, who was next to him, shook his head with a smile, "Your Majesty still knows better." ”

“…… Okay. Xu Huabiao glanced at his son.

The dignified son of heaven, when Xu Huabiao looked at him, he lowered his head slightly.

Then, Xu Huabiao's gaze moved to the beautiful woman next to him.

This should be Shin Yoo Jin.

Well, it's okay, he doesn't look like Park Jin-young at all.

is more beautiful than the brother with his hands over his knees, and he goes out I don't know how many times.

Otherwise, Xu Huabiao felt that he had cheated his son......

“…… Well, the situation is good, in the past few years, the second sister-in-law and Mrs. Zheng have not spent so much effort on you in vain. ”

“…… Thank you, Father. ”

"Help Mingzhu well and help him take care of the harem. Back then, your father ran all over the world in order to support the Han family, you don't want to disappoint him. ”

"Yes." Shen Liu really saluted and received.

"Queen Mother, tomorrow is my son's wedding." Mingzhu looked at Park so-young, "There's a banquet tomorrow night, I don't know...... Mother, would you like to go? ”

"No, no." Park so-young shook his head.

"Yes. That ......"

"Well, you go get busy!" Park so-young nodded.

"Then, the queen mother, mother, father, and the child have retired."

"Hmm."

……

"I think I'd better leave." After Xu Huabiao watched the Son of Heaven leave, he looked at Zhou Jieqiong seriously.

"It's already like this, and you still have to ......"

"I think it's necessary." Xu Huabiao shook his head seriously, "Okay, this matter is settled." You don't have to question it anymore. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yunxi, who had been silent just now.

Be quiet.

"Husband, if you want to leave, besides Xiaonan, the three of them and Yun'er, who else will you bring?"

"Huh? It's just the four of them, and the others ...... Suzy will take Yuzhen and the three of them to stay in the Central Plains. ”

“…… Can I come with you? ”

"Are you willing to leave the pearl behind?" Xu Huabiao asked Zhou Jieqiong with a smile.

Quiet again.

“…… Okay, then husband, go and see Mingyue, he knows that you came to Chang'an, so he had to see you last night. Zhou Jieqiong mentioned her second son.

"Well, I'll stay in Chang'an for a while longer, don't worry."

“…… Good. Zhou Jieqiong glanced at Park Xiurong, and the two nodded together.

……

In the blink of an eye, three months later.

The weather has gradually begun to warm up, and the officials of the former Luoyang Household Department and the current Tianxia Household Department have begun to organize the Mintun and Juntun to start sorting out agricultural machinery and preparing for spring ploughing.

Chang'an City is also thriving.

"Husband, are you really leaving?"

"Well, what, still reluctant?"

“…… Well. ”

Zhou Jieqiong nodded.

At the door of the Yiguo Mansion in Chang'an City, there is a faint sadness called parting.

"Childe, can't I really go with you......" Pei Xiuzhi next to him also had a sadness on his face.

"You'd better stay in the Central Plains! After all...... Those three girls can't live without you. ”

“…… But it's okay......"

"You still have to pass on my father's Xu family's marksmanship in the Central Plains! Who told you not to teach those three stupid girls earlier? Xu Huabiao interrupted Pei Xiuzhi's words.

Be quiet.

This excuse, Pei Xiuzhi can't refute.

"Okay, go and watch the children, they cry, and the trouble will be even greater." Xu Huabiao waved his hand at a few people, "If I successfully find America...... Ahem, well, I'll be back, and I won't see you again, okay, I'm leaving. ”

After speaking, Xu Huabiao jumped directly into the carriage.

"Yun'a, take care of your husband." Zhou Jieqiong glanced at Lin Yun'er, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage.

"Sister, don't worry." Lin Yun'er smiled and shook the reins in her hand.

The carriage departed.

Gone.

The people at the gate of the house were still standing.

……

"Master, are you alright?"

“…… What can I do? ”

"What can you say?"

“…… Don't want to say. ”

"Okay, little peach, didn't you wake up in the morning!" Sasha Minato glared at the mouthy Momo Hirai next to her.

"How...... Oh. Only then did Hirai Tao notice that Hirai Tao and Nai Minami were two people who were desperately trying to make eye for themselves.

There was silence in the carriage.

Then, quietly, drove out of Chang'an City.

……

Three months later.

A dock by the sea in Kure-gun.

It didn't take so long to come from Chang'an, but after Xu Huabiao left Chang'an and arrived in Wancheng, he remembered that he still had to meet his second brother again, so the group turned south to Jiangling, where they drank wine with Second Brother Guan for half a month, and then when they crossed the Lujiang River by boat, they went to Shouchun again and met Song Qian, which was still Jiangdong where Song Qian sent someone to escort him.

"Master, how is it, this ship! Be domineering! ”

Jin Zhini pointed to the Black Pearl like a treasure and said to Xu Huabiao.

“…… Very good. Have there been any sea trials? ”

"I went to Liaodong once and came back, no problem."

"Well, that's good." Xu Huabiao nodded. "Then I'll go."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, Master? Haven't you been on the road for two months? Let's rest for the night! ”

“…… Never mind. Don't worry, as long as the ship doesn't sink at sea, I'll probably come back, and there will be a chance to meet in the future. ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, I'm leaving." Xu Huabiao smiled and waved his hand at Jin Zhini, turned around and went to the bridge.

"Zhini, let's go, you...... Well, you don't have to ......."

"No, General Yun'er, I didn't mean that, I have something to say to Master...... Forget it, then Master will see for himself after he gets on the boat! Jin Zhini smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Tell the master, I still want him to treat her well." ”

“…… What? ”

"Nothing! General Yuna, hurry up and keep up! Otherwise, the bridge will be withdrawn. Kim Ji-ni pointed to the boat, "That's ...... When Master returns, will we see you again? ”

“…… Let's go! ”

Lin Yun'er smiled and followed.

"What are you talking to Ji-ni?"

"She told me to take good care of her...... Who is she? ”

"How do I know! Oh...... Maybe it's the ship! Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment, remembered it, and smiled.

It's like in a certain movie, the people on the ship call their own ship......

“…… Taking care of the boat? This...... Okay, I don't understand. Lin Yun'er smiled.

"Alright, remove the bridge and go!!" Xu Huabiao, as the captain, issued the first order.

"Whew!!"

The sailors on the ship all let out a shout.

The anchor is lifted, and the ship leaves the port.

Xu Huabiao smiled and looked up into the air.

On the mainmast, a flag is hung.

A flag that Xu Huabiao is familiar with.

He was stunned for a moment.

“…… That's not the military flag of the Shenji Battalion? Xu Huabiao pointed to the flag and asked Lin Yun'er beside him.

“…… Yes! It really is!! How did this flag get here? Isn't it supposed to be in the hands of Endi? She is now the capital of Jinyi Wei Jizhou......"

At this time, Xu Huabiao faintly heard a very familiar, somewhat unfamiliar voice because he hadn't heard it for a long time.

"Yizhen! Put the second sail down! Miyan! Put sail three! Right full rudder! Burn the wind! ”

"Oh!!"

Two responses that Xu Huabiao was still familiar with.

“…… Kim Jiso!! You come over to me!! Xu Huabiao determined who that person was this time.

"Ahh Captain, wait a minute! ”

"Immediately! Come here for me right away! ”

“…… Second mate, I'll leave it to you. ”

"First mate, don't worry!" The person next to Kim Jisoo also responded.

Xu Huabiao's gaze swept over.

Sun Naen......

"Nunn! Why are you there? Didn't you resign and go back to Xuzhou to open a school? Xu Huabiao's face became more and more shocked.

"Captain, wait a minute, I'll tell you when we're on a smooth sail." Sun Naen shook her head with a smile and continued to be busy.

And Kim Jisoo came to Xu Huabiao's side.

"Captain, did you tell me something?"

“…… Why are you on board? ”

"Oh, Lord Zhini needed to find someone to pilot this ship for a sea trial, and remembered that I was idle over there in Gangneung, so he found me." Kim Jisoo replied with a smile, "I knew that this ship was yours from the captain, so I contacted Eun Di and Na Eun...... They put together all the people from the former Shenji Battalion. We're the crew of this ship now! ”

"They didn't do a good brocade guard, and they came to mess around with you?"

"What is there to do in Jinyiwei? The world is peaceful, and the role of Jinyiwei is to monitor those who are officials, you look closely, offend people, see it loosely, and someone will trouble you. Have you forgotten that when Jin Suhui's case was a few years ago, Lord Jin Zhijing almost beheaded Zhang Yuanying because of poor supervision? Kim Jisoo smiled and shook his head, "If it weren't for the fear that more people would come to them to settle accounts after the fall after the resignation of the Jinyi Guard, it would be a problem to protect themselves at that time, and they wouldn't want to do it one by one." ”

“…… Then why are you the first mate and Nan is the second mate? ”

"The three of us guessed boxing, and I won, so it's the first mate, and Endi has the most luck, so it's the third mate."

“……”

"Well, Captain, I think there's one more person than I am here who deserves a few more words from you." Kim Jisoo smiled, as if he was going to betray someone's expression.

“…… Who else? Xu Huabiao's expression was a little stiff.

"Over there, the ...... with a flask tied around his waist," Kim Jisoo pointed in one direction on the boat.

Xu Huabiao squinted, looked over, and was stunned.

"That's not ......" Lin Yun'er, who was next to her, had a no better expression than Xu Huabiao.

"If it weren't for her, Nun wouldn't have been able to get everyone together." Kim Jisoo smiled.

“…… Bae Joo-hyun!! Why are you here? Didn't you die five years ago? Xu Huabiao shouted over there.

"Captain, don't make trouble, go back and talk!"

Pei Zhuhyun, who was in the distance, glanced at Xu Huabiao with a smile and continued to pull the sail.

Where is a little bit of a strategist!!

“…… Why is Bae Joo-hyun on the boat?? Xu Huabiao felt that it was better to ask Kim Jiso.

"Five years ago, she came to Wu County to play, and she thought it was interesting to build a ship, so she stayed to help King Wu build a ship. Speaking of which, she was the most credited to the construction of this ship. There are many problems that King Wu couldn't solve before, but she helped solve them. ”

"Then why are you the first and third officers? She ......"

"Oh, she can't beat us."

“……”

Well, for good reason.

Xu Huabiao nodded, looked at where he was, held a wine gourd in his arms, and commanded Bae Joo-hyun of the sailor.

On the face, there is a happy light.

She's still alive! When I heard that she drank and drank herself to death, I also made several jars of wine to commemorate her.

I knew it earlier, so I might as well keep it for her to drink!

"You went to Liaodong for a trial voyage before, and Zhuhyun followed?"

"yes!" Kim Jisoo smiled and nodded, "And the firearms part of the ship is also in charge of her and Kwon Nara......"

“…… Wait a minute!!! Why Kwon Nara?? She didn't ...... two years ago."

"Two years ago, we sailed to Xiangping, Liaodong! She also thought it was interesting to be on the boat, so she died, and then got on the boat! ”

"It's ...... to get on the boat when you're dead," Lin Yun'er, who was next to her, smiled.

"Go and call Wonnara for me! I don't beat her to death!! Xu Huabiao looked angry.

“…… What's wrong? Kim Jisoo looked confused.

"When I heard that Quan Nara died of illness two years ago, Gongzi was sad for more than a month, and said that he was going to Liaodong to pay tribute to her, but it was only after the three of them that they wasted a lot of effort to stop her." Lin Yun'er explained with a helpless smile.

“…… It's none of the business with me! Captain! We stopped in Xiangping for half a month, and when the ship set off again, we found that there were more people in the cabin, and no one on the boat could beat her, and we couldn't catch her, so we could only let her stay on the ship......"

"Go and call her up!"

"Yes!!" The first mate took the order and ran into the cabin with a puff of smoke.

"Childe, what are you angry about! Isn't that great? Lin Yun'er said to Xu Huabiao with a smile, "There are so many acquaintances...... It's going to be a lot of fun! ”

“…… Interesting? Xu Huabiao calmed down and smiled helplessly.

It seems that it is indeed true.

Bae Joo-hyun, Kwon Nara, Kim Ji-so......

And their own god machine battalions.

Let's go!

Xu Huabiao looked at the military flag of the Shenji Battalion.

Well, it's really a good match with this ship.

"Alright, Childe, let's go see our cabin! I heard you all the way from Chang'an, and I was almost curious to death. ”

"Okay...... Oh! That's right, Yuna! Shall I discuss something with you? ”

"Childe, you say! I'll say yes to whatever you say! ”

“…… Then you can be the captain of the Black Pearl! Xu Huabiao said with a smile.

“…… I?? The captain must be you, Childe! I'm just a guard......"

"Didn't you promise me everything?"

"But...... I won't do this? ”

"What are you afraid of, there is such a group of first and second and third officers...... Well, it's your deputy and the second and third deputy. Xu Huabiao pointed to the deck, "You will do well, and our Black Pearl is definitely the best ship in the world, and it is equipped with cannons...... You're the One Piece of this era! ”

"Huh? I...... What is a pirate called? ”

"It's like a bandit, just ...... at sea"

“…… I don't want to be a thief. Lin Yun'er shook her head.

"It's not a thief, it's a king!! How can the matter of One Piece be said to be a thief? King, king!! ”

“…… Then I'm One Piece, what are you, Childe? ”

"Me? One Piece man!! ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter! That's it, you're the captain, the One Piece, and I'm the man of the One Piece! ”

“…… Childe, you're smiling strangely! ”

"Huh? Have it? How's that!! Alright, let's go to the Americas! Sweet potato, tomato, pepper, I'm coming!! ”

"Childe, what are you talking about strange things again?"

"Don't worry, along the way, I have time to talk to you slowly!"
