Lu Shiyun's voice was not high, but it exuded a momentum that would be practiced if he said it. Franco and Edgardo looked at each other, nodded and did not speak.

In fact, there is no need for Lu Shiyun to say more, they also know what the consequences will be if Xie Xuelong dies in Mexico City.

Not to mention what kind of action Daming will have, just the fleet docked outside the port is enough for them to drink a pot.

"Shiyun, don't worry, I've seen the map, it's not far from Mexico City, and I can come back in about ten days. You and everyone are here to wait with peace of mind, and don't cause trouble. Xie Xuelong saw that the atmosphere was a little nervous, so he smiled and said to Lu Shiyun.

Lu Shiyun saw that Xuelong had spoken, so he didn't say more.

"Inspector, be careful all the way."

"Yes!" Xie Xuelong nodded and looked at Franco.

"Let's go."

"Okay!" Then, Xie Xuelong boarded Franco's ship and slowly drove towards the port. In these days of Edgardo's absence, not much has changed in Puerto Veracruz.

Under the orders of Felipe IV, all warships and merchant ships were honestly docked in the harbor and were not allowed to go out.

Franco's arrival brought a commotion to the port. The discovery that it was his own fleet made the people in the harbor extremely excited.

Under the blockade of the Akito fleet, he swaggered the entire fleet in. There are only two possibilities, one is that they defeated the Akito's fleet, and the other is that they reached a reconciliation with the Akito.

But judging from the combat power displayed by the Aketo fleet, it seems that the second type is more convincing. Their suspicions are further confirmed when a group of officers meet Edgardo disembarking from Franco's ship at the docks.

Franco and Akito must have reached some kind of agreement. After that, they saw Xie Xuelong in a long robe, and they were even more surprised.

"Lord Edgardo, you're finally back." One of Edgardo's henchmen pounced on him at the first sight, and his henchmen were not having a good time in his absence.

Not only was he sneered at all day long, but he also had to endure pressure from all sides. The martyrdom of the families of the dead soldiers, the merchants stranded on the merchant ships of the port countries, and the exclusion of their peers made them anxious.

Especially when Edgardo's life and death are uncertain, they are in anxiety every day.

Seeing the living Edgardo at this time is like finding the backbone again, not to mention how happy it is.

"In my absence, everything is okay at the port?"

"It's okay..."

"Okay?" Edgardo frowned, wanting to ask, but remembering that it was not the time to ask, he looked at Xue Long.

"Inspector Xie, can you take a rest in my mansion?"

"No, it's still early today, so I'll continue with Franco. If you go to Mexico City sooner, you can see your king sooner, right? Franco, what do you say? Xie Xuelong shook his head and rejected Edgardo's proposal.

"Exactly, Edgardo, we're not here anymore, it's not noon yet, so we'd better hurry up. When the Inspector returns from Mexico, you will be entertained, and then there will be a chance. ”

"Well, in that case, I won't keep you anymore. Inspector Xie, when you come back, you must stay with me for two days, so that I can entertain you well. ”

"As long as I can talk to your majesty, everything will be easy to say." With Edgardo's farewell, Xie Xuelong and Franco left the port together and continued in the direction of Mexico City.

They rode in a magnificent four-wheeled carriage, and they ran fairly smoothly. At the beginning, Xie Xuelong looked at the scenery outside the window, and when he was resting, he ate some Spanish food, but he didn't feel bored.

But after a long time, it gradually felt like sailing on the sea, and it became boring. Fortunately, the port of Veracruz and Mexico City were not far away, and the distance in a straight line was about 500 miles, and they drove lightly, and it only took them five days to get close to Mexico City.

"Inspector, thirty or forty miles away, you will reach Mexico City. It's getting late now, let's take a break, there is a shop in front of us, and it is estimated that we will be able to enter the city at noon tomorrow. Franco looked into the distance, then at the sky, and made a suggestion to Xie Xuelong.

"Okay, listen to you!" After traveling for a few days in a row, Xie Xuelong was also a little tired. He moved his bumpy and tingling waist and looked around.

It seems to be a small bazaar, but it's getting late and no one is doing business. A little farther away, there was a shop with a lamp in front of the door, visible in the dimness.

It was a two-story building, somewhat dilapidated, and seemed to be waiting for their arrival. Franco walked side by side with him at the front of the line, followed by Xiao Wu and a dozen guards.

"Prepare two rooms for us, and we'll stay in the hotel." Inside, Franco said to an old man sitting behind the dim light.

"Two rooms? No, only one. ”

"One?" Franco frowned.

"How do you live then?" He didn't say it himself, Xie Xuelong has a special identity, so he can't sleep in the same bed with him, right?

If you can't do it, you can pitch a tent outside. For the past few days, they have been camping in the wilderness, thinking that they are close to Mexico City and that it is better to live in a house than in a tent.

I didn't expect to have to live in a tent tonight.

"It's a room, but it has two beds and can sleep two people."

"Two people? That's not going to work. Little Five, you and the Overseer live here, and let's go to the open space outside the market to sleep in the tent. When Xie Xuelong heard this, he nodded and did not refuse.

Seeing that I was about to reach my destination, it would be one night anyway, and it was not interesting to push around.

"Okay, the Inspector will just spend the night, eat something and rest early. Tomorrow morning, let's move on, and when we get to Mexico City, the conditions will be a thousand times better than this. I'll entertain you when the time comes. ”

"Haha, you're welcome. I'm not that pampered either. The two chatted casually, and Franco left four guards behind and led the others out of the market.

Xie Xuelong and Xiao Wu went upstairs together under the leadership of the old man and entered a darker room.

There was a musty smell in the room, and it smelled a little pungent. It's better to live in a tent outside.

Xie Xuelong thought so in his heart. Forget it, it's coming.

"The bed is there, the quilts are ready-made, if you want to be convenient, go to the back. Or, there. The old man lit the kerosene lamp, and pointed to the two beds by the wall, and to a barrel in the corner.

After speaking, he walked out directly, leaving the two people who looked at each other.

"Overseer..."

"Sleep, just don't take off your clothes. It's better than sleeping in a tent, isn't it? ”
