402. Arrival
"Has the gentleman ever risen?"
Early the next morning, I was half-asleep and half-awake.
Zhang Qi heard the voice of Bai Xing coming from outside the dormitory.
The palace maid who was on shift outside saluted Bai Xing and then shook her head.
"I haven't heard the voice of the king and his wife yet."
Shirahoshi nodded, walked under the eaves and waited.
"Huh, what's wrong?"
In the perennial campaign, Zhang Qi's sleep vigilance is very high, and it is rare to be able to sleep for a nap during wartime, so over time, he has also developed the skill of quickly entering deep sleep.
There was not much movement outside the door, Qingling was still sleeping soundly, but he was already up.
This hour had already exceeded the point where he usually got up, and last night was another absurdity.
"There is something to report, your lordship, Yinzhou sent back a letter, Australia sent a fleet back, and it is expected to arrive at the port of Liaodong after the application."
"Australia's fleet!"
Zhang Qi got up at once, and for the sake of global strategy, he sent a total of two ocean-going fleets, Liu Bolun, director of the Department of Maritime Affairs, was sent by him to the Americas to communicate with the Maya, and the other went to Australia along the island chain in Southeast Asia.
Zhang Qi is not worried about the Americas, they are all old people who have been going to the ocean before, and the relationship of marriage will not be difficult in the trip.
But Australia is really groping for the sea route, and I don't know what the situation has been recently, it's been almost a year and a half.
"Prepare the car, follow me to Liaodong Port."
"Yui."
Now it looks like seven o'clock in the first month, and the Australian fleet only arrived after the time, that is, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the time to rush to Liaodong Port was rich.
After learning the news of Australia, his sleepiness was gone, and Qingling in the nest also woke up dimly between his question and answer with Bai Xing.
"Husband, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, there's an ocean-going fleet back, I'm going to take a look, what about you?"
"The concubine still wants to sleep."
Qingling wrapped her arms around Zhang Qi's waist a little lazily, and fell asleep in a daze.
Gently letting go of Qingling's hand, Zhang Qi got off the bed naked.
Hearing the movement, several palace attendants walked in through the side door holding his clothes.
Changing clothes and washing.
In just a few moments, the palace attendants were familiar with their work.
"Childe woke up?"
took two buns from the plate brought by the palace attendant, and Zhang Qi walked out.
"I've been awake for half an hour, and now I'm feeding the big tiger and the little tiger in the kennel."
"This kid, go to the East Palace."
Zhang Qi waved his hand, and the palace attendant led him in the direction of the East Palace.
It is said to be the East Palace, but in fact, it is separated by a distance of less than fifty meters.
His Qiming Palace was built in the city, and it was built later, and at his request, the area was not large.
Walking to the palace where Zhang Qian lived, before he walked in, he heard the sound of two puppies cooking dry.
"Qian'er."
"Daddy!"
Zhang Qian, who was watching the two puppies eating, looked at Zhang Qi in surprise.
"Do you want to go play when a big ship comes back from overseas?"
"I'll go."
Hearing Zhang Qi say that he wanted to take him out to play, Zhang Qian immediately stood up from his small stool, and the two puppies who were still cooking on the side saw their owners walking out, and they didn't care about the dog food in the rice bowl, so they immediately followed.
"Dad, can the big tiger and the little tiger go together?"
"If you want to take it, you can take it with you, just take care of it yourself."
"Thank you, Dad, I'll go get the leash."
After a while, Zhang Qian led two puppies that were not too small to follow Zhang Qi into a sleigh car.
Looking at the big dogs who were several laps older than him, the two puppies were lying on the edge of the door and looking curiously with one head exposed.
After getting into the car, Bai Xing touched Zhang Qian's head, carried the two puppies into the compartment and closed the door.
"Your Majesty, the route has been drawn up, and now there are ready-made ice roads in the river, and the post stations on both sides of the river have also been notified in advance."
"Hmm."
Zhang Qi nodded, for these arrangements, Bai Xing was already in hand, and her was basically responsible for his travel in Liaodi.
"Let's go!"
With Zhang Qi's approval, Bai Xing pushed open the window next to the carriage and shouted to the group of shadow guards.
The vehicle was moving, Zhang Qian took the two puppies back from Bai Xing's arms, and looked at Zhang Qi with his head held high.
"Dad, is Uncle Harrier going?"
"Harrier?"
Zhang Qileng paused for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to have said that he wanted to take the little guy to the harrier's house to play.
"He's going!"
"Star, send someone to inform."
"Yui."
The sleigh drove out slowly, from the snowless city to the outside of the city.
After the shadow guard was replaced with a batch of sled dogs.
The speed of the car increased suddenly.
Rush on the vast snow outside the city, and follow the guidance of the people who have prepared in advance to the river.
The reduction in friction allows the sleigh to be sped up again with an ice blade holder.
In winter, the river froze very strongly, and in the hurry, the maturity of the post system was once again manifested.
In half an hour, the shadow guards could see the heralds on both sides of the river leading the dogs over to make a change.
In addition, during the period, he stopped to wait for the harrier and frolicked with Zhang Qian who was bored in the car.
By the time Zhang Qi and the others felt Liaodong Port, it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.
After so many years of development.
Liaodong Port, which was once like a blockage, has now become a port.
There is a large number of ships coming and going, and different materials are transferred to the inland and overseas.
Zhang Qian, the big ship, has seen it.
But hundreds or thousands of large ships appeared at the same time, and it was the first time he had seen it.
Surprised, he dragged the two puppies and ran towards the mooring.
"Daddy! What a boat! ”
"Uncle Harrier, look, that ship is still made of iron!"
Zhang Qian pointed to a large ship with a different kind of mooring and shouted.
"Hahaha, that's your father's big ship, the Beginning, also known as the Daystar, you used to ride it when you were a child."
Watching Zhang Qian run wildly, Zhang Qizhi had long been used to it, but the harrier who was called halfway did not dare to relax in the slightest, he knew too well how far a child of this age could mess around.
So he quickly followed, and slapped Zhang Qian's head to freeze it in place.
"There's a lot of people here, don't run around!"
"Let's go, see if your father's side has dealt with it almost, and go see if the ships that came back from overseas have arrived."
"Oh,"
was caught on the back of fate, although Zhang Qian had all the skills, he could only be obedient at the moment.
On the other side, the port governor also saluted Zhang Qi and handed over the ship information of the Australian fleet to Bai Xing on the side.
"General Staff, here is the list of personnel of the returning sea vessel and the directory of the warehouse."
Externally, Bai Xing's position is already the chief of internal staff, so the governor of Liaodong Port knows that there are some things that his own monarch will not take a closer look at, but will let Bai Xing beside him handle it.
Shirahoshi nodded and took the book.
Zhang Qi asked, "When did you arrive in Hong Kong?" ”
"It's been half an hour ago, knowing that the king is coming, they all stayed on the ship to rest, after all, it is very rare to be personally received by the king, and the ministers have persuaded them many times, and they don't want to get off the ship."
The governor on the side said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Qi shook his head and smiled.
"These guys, haha, lead the way!"
