Early in the morning on the seventh day of the new year.

The entire city of Dìdū is still immersed in the silence of the aftermath of the revelry, and the sky above the city is quiet. On the night of the carnival in these few days, too many people were drunk, too many people were tired, and of course, many young girls lost their virginity......

Since the coup d'état two years ago, it has been a long time since Dìdū had been so lively.

After experiencing these few days of gorgeous nights, everyone is unanimously grateful to the magical Duke Tulip for bringing such a beautiful and magical good thing as "fireworks" to the world.

In the morning, the sun had risen, and on the Lancang Canal leading to dìdū, a long line of ships was heading towards dìdū, a full twenty large ships, to the surprise of the early boatmen on the shore, all of these big ships were sea ships! Each of them was a sea soul-class ship, and compared with these behemoths sailing in the ocean, the other merchant ships on the river were much smaller.

And close to the river of dìdū, there are naturally patrol sailors on the river under the public security bureau of dìdū, these patrol boats, seeing this huge fleet coming from a distance, but they did not dare to stop it, and from a long distance, they immediately showed their flags, and even honestly retreated, let the main river channel, and even immediately sent more people to clean up the river, and ordered all the ships to retreat, so that this huge fleet of ships went first.

"I said, whose fleet is this, so arrogant? You see, the boats on the river have to get out of the way? Is it the royal family?" a river porter sitting on the dock couldn't help but ask.

A companion next to him was much older than this one, after listening. He laughed and scolded: "Blind your eyes! Don't you see the flag on this ship? The royal family? This is not a royal ship, but it is not much worse than the royal family!"

At the front of the flotilla was a large ship. On the mast, a flaming tulip flag fluttered!

This first big ship was huge. From the hull on both sides, it is covered with mottled marks, as if it has undergone an extremely long and difficult voyage, and even scratches. Strike......

And on the ship's side. The deck was covered with traces of the aftermath of the battle, and even some sailors who came and went even had bandages on their bodies. Merely. These sailors. Everybody's expression is fierce, even the injured. It looks like it's all so jīng gods!

Above the ship's floor. A woman stood there quietly, her hands on the fence in front of her, her eyes calmly looking at the outline of the dìdū dock that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

She looked no more than twenty years old. A face is slightly emaciated, and the voyage at sea for a long time is sunburned. As a result, her skin is not as fair as most Roland mainland women. It looks a little bit sè. This skin does not diminish her beauty at all, but adds a bit of healthy xìng feeling.

She was tall and lined with soft leather armor. And outside. A strangely shaped multicolored robe, and the robe was made of unknown fabric. But it seems to be pieced together with an unknown number of pieces of cloth with five middle facesè. Of course. If the most attractive, there is no doubt about it. It's her pair of slender and toned long legs - even a man with a discerning eye can't help but sigh when he sees such a pair of beautiful legs!

"Lord Ruolin. We're here. ”

Behind. A huge man with a sturdy figure like a bull walked over. He stood still and bowed his head respectfully. This brute bull and giant man is dressed as a sailor. He wears a turban around his head. And on the face. The left eye was covered with a black cloth, but it was a one-eyed one.

Ruolin looked at this subordinate who was defending the land - when he first went to Haiti. He still has his eyes intact. I'm even a little afraid of water.

"Well, yes. We're back. Ruolin nodded. Grinding on the sea. Let the last trace of immaturity on Ruolin's face be worn away, at this moment, Ruolin's eyes revealed a tenacity and fortitude after the wind and rain, and waved her hand: "Order, dock! Everyone is on standby on the ship, without my permission, no idle people are allowed to board the ship, and no one is allowed to leave the post for a step!"

This brute giant man was the old subordinate of Ruolin when he mixed up with the Roland Continent, and he immediately received the order. Rollin, on the other hand, lifted his robe, then held the sword at his waist with one hand, and slowly walked to the deck.

On the dock deck of Dìdū, there were already two hundred cavalrymen in Tulip Family guard uniforms waiting, led by none other than Little Zack.

Little Zach had already waited anxiously, scratching his ears and cheeks, and seeing that the fleet had finally landed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face like a big horse monkey showed sincere joy.

He whistled, and approached the dock with the soldiers of the Tulip family, and when the sampan was set, little Zach saw the familiar figure appear on the deck of the ship, and he laughed and said loudly: "My beautiful old boss, you are finally back! It's been a year, and I thought you were going to be a pirate in the South Seas." ”

Ruolin walked off the deck and glanced at Little Zack, a smile appeared on her face, but she only patted Little Zack lightly on the shoulder: "You are also an important person under the adult, how do you talk and do things, you are still so unstable." ”

Little Zach smiled: "When I saw you come back, I was happy in my heart, and naturally I was excited." ”

Ruolin raised her eyebrows, but then she saw that Xiao Zack's eyes were sincere, and there was no hint of ridicule, so she nodded, and her voice was softer: "Well, speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for a long time." This voyage at sea was much more difficult than expected. But, fortunately, it is fortunate to be dishonored!"

Little Zack looked at Ruolin, and always felt that this former beautiful boss seemed to have a little strange change, and it seemed to be stronger and darker than before...... Still is...... Well, this kind of change seems to be indescribable, but at this moment, Ruolin's whole person is like a jewel that has been sharpened, and it naturally exudes a bright light.

"Where's the Duke?"

Little Zack was stunned for a moment when he heard Ruolin ask. Hurriedly said: "The Duke has received the person you sent to deliver the message, and he is already safe."

Everything on the docks. Send me to bring someone to pick you up, and there is a car in the back...... Adult said, loading and unloading goods. You don't have to worry about it. I'm watching here. After letting you disembark. See him at the Duke's Palace at once!"

Ruolin raised her eyebrows. There was a smile in his eyes: "A hundred big cars? I'm afraid...... It's not enough. ”

Afterwards, little Zach immediately sent someone to lead the horse, and then led Ruolin back to the Duke's Palace.

As for these twenty boats. Zach Jr. immediately mobilized all the people. But it's all their own tulip family land. Originally, there were many people who specialized in boatmen and coolies who begged for a living on the docks, and they saw such a large land and a fleet of ships docking. They all came up to find work.

But it's a long way away. was stopped by the Tulip Family guards. Then he politely told them that these ships were the beloved goods of the Duke and his lordship. All handling, loading and unloading. All have their own family members to handle it. I don't need to work for outsiders.

Although this marina port. There are always some landlords. But these ants are the same guys. Where do you dare to trouble Duke Tulip?

Ruolin rode all the way into the city. She doesn't stop at all, and she does things vigorously. I came to the majestic and luxurious Duke's Palace. Just jumped off the horse. Then he saw that the door of the Duke's Palace had been opened. Many servants and guards came out to greet them. Then someone brought Ruolin inside. I came to the small courtyard of Du Weidi's study.

This little yard. It was Du Weidi's father, Count Raymond, who used those study courtyards. At this moment, Du Wei is just like his father was back then.

When Ruolin pushed the door in. Du Wei was sitting behind his desk. Seeing Ruolin come in, Du Wei just raised his head and smiled. Wen Yan said, "Well, are you back?" ”

The tone is light and flat. It seems that Ruolin has not been at sea for more than a year. It was just like he sent him to walk around the city at random.

Ruolin saw Du Wei. I only feel that this young duke seems to have grown up a little more. Originally, the eyes that made me dare not force my eyes. Now it looks more and more unfathomable! But there is a majesty between the eyebrows...... Compared to before I went to sea. Lord Duke, he has more and more the temperament of a big man who controls the life and death of countless people.

Ruolin knelt down on one knee and solemnly guarded the knightly etiquette of the family—her original most formal identity. It was Du Wei who took over the guardian knight of the Earth Family. And then. He sat down on a chair on the ground of Du Wei.

"Let's talk about it. Du Wei smiled: "You have been out for more than a year, and there has been no news." I'm really worried. I'm afraid that those Nanyang people will be bold. Dare to be against you. I can't say that. It's time to encourage the regent to launch another expedition to the South Seas to save you. ”

Ruolin smiled slightly. She has a temperament. It's also much calmer than at the beginning: "My lord." This trip to sea was much more difficult than we expected. This number one. Originally, our fleet was only going to be in the near sea. The South China Sea is thousands of miles away, and this kind of long-distance sea journey, on the road, is really difficult to predict. We're all the way. There were several hurricanes and waves. Estimated time in advance. It's simply not enough. But fortunately, after arriving in Nanyang. All the way south, with that old Nanyang guy by his side. On the way, I met the Nanyang tribe. None dared to stop us. ”

"Hmm......" Du Wei nodded, "You have arrived at the United Kingdom of Nanyang...... Where. What does it look like?"

At the mention of this question, Ruolin couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes. After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Where...... It's beautiful! It's beautiful! I've lived my whole life. I've never seen such a beautiful place!"

Then, she removed the burden behind her. He took out a scroll from it and slowly unfolded it, revealing a map of the South Seas drawn by Jīng's heart.

"My lord, before I set out, you ordered me to keep an eye on the voyage and make sure to draw a map. Hmph, the old guy who went with me tried to guard me at first, and when he arrived in Nanyang, he deliberately pointed us out to take a detour, and then I saw through it and taught him a hard lesson. I saw that he was not honest, so he simply didn't do anything, and directly ordered the fleet to stop on a small island, and arrested a small part of the landed people on the island to interrogate. Nanyang people are also people, and good wine and gold are enough for them to speak. I just found out that the old guy took us through a lot of detours......"

Du Wei smiled: "How did you deal with him?"

Ruolin raised her eyebrows: "I didn't deal with him much." Your Excellency, you said that. I couldn't hurt him, so I just tied him with a rope and threw him in the sea for three days. ”

Du Wei listened and laughed. Then he took the map, put it on the table, and slowly unfolded it......

This dìdū is painted in a waterproof canvas, and it is a vast sea area on it! Those dotted islands, dotted with dots, are located on the South Sea Sea, and Ruolin has also drawn a few routes. These routes avoid some dangerous sea areas, reefs, and whirlpools.

And the southernmost part of dìdū is a large island!

Du Wei pointed to the big island and said, "This is ......."

"My lord, this is where the United Kingdom of the South Seas is located. This is the largest island I know of in the South Seas, and the area of this island is the size of the two provinces of our empire, and there are currently more than 20 large and small tribes in the United Kingdom of the South Seas, all of which live on this island, and the population of this island alone is about five million. And...... My lord, there are many other things on this island that seem to me to be very strange!"

"Weird?" said Du Wei was interested.

Originally, he was full of expectations for Nanyang, as for weird things.

Hmph, "How are you, Duwey, surprised?" - Damn, what could be more bizarre than this message?

Could it be that it has anything to do with the clue of this matter?
