Chapter 42

France is surrounded by the sea on both sides, with numerous rivers, developed shipping, and numerous large and small ports. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, there are not many ports with shipbuilding capacity, and most small ports can only provide limited repair and restoration services, and do not have the ability to build ships independently.

Lyon, on the other hand, is one of the most important land and water hubs in southeastern France, with a complete shipping association, two dedicated shipyards, and far more shipbuilders and shipping experts than any other city.

Since I went to Paris with the team of the Shipping Academy, of course, I took the waterway, which was faster than the land route and safer. After all, although there are many pirates in the ocean, there are very few water thieves in the inland rivers. Anyone with a little brains will not come to rob the fleet of the Shipping Association and gnaw on such an iron lump.

Under the leadership of Dean Bernard, Zhang Ang followed him on a big-bellied sailboat. A man on a sailboat with dark skin, calloused hands, and a short suit. It seems that he is a person who has been begging for a living at sea for many years,

Dean Bernard immediately spoke to one of the leading black strong men, while Zhang Ang came to the guardrail, looked at the rushing river, and sorted out his thoughts.

When he went to Paris this time, he really wanted to make a decision and complete the few things he had prepared as much as possible, so that he would have no worries.

First, I want to bring back old Ivan and Arnold, after all, the two of them are loyal and are the people they trust the most. Second, I made it clear to Miss Sophie, completely severed the relationship with Paris, and stayed in Lyon in the future. Third, let's see if we can help Dean Bernard get a new license. Fourth, if possible, help Susan find his father and give him the letter from Susan's family.

He wasn't much worried about a few other things, but he was very troubled by explaining it to Miss Sophie.

To be honest, Miss Sophie has always been good to herself, protecting herself, taking care of herself, and thinking about herself many times. Although I don't know if it's for the sake of looking at those martial arts cheats, or if there is something else hidden in them, but after all, it's good for me. And on the banks of the Seine, at the most critical juncture, she still abandoned herself and escaped alone, but it was a last resort, the situation was too critical at that time, everyone was running for their lives, and the master of the palace Sophia gave them his own life in exchange for time to escape. And Miss Sophie, she always seemed to have a lot of things in mind, a lot of plans, a lot of thoughts, missions and so on. Zhang Ang has almost figured it out now, he doesn't blame Miss Sophie, as long as he makes things clear to each other.

As for this marriage contract, Zhang Ang actually refused it in his heart at the beginning, but he never found a chance to make it clear. And Miss Sophie is so beautiful, and now she is a famous female general in the revolutionary army, there must be many suitors, and it should not be uncommon for her to be a cook. If he could, Zhang Ang still wanted to see Miss Sophie and D'Artagnan together, after all, he didn't know about other people, D'Artagnan's infatuation and persistence were in his eyes, and he was very strong and had a good personality, so he was a good match with Miss Sophie.

Trumpets sounded, white sails were raised, and a huge fleet of ships set sail. Dragging heavy timber and heavy thoughts, he headed towards Paris.

In the city of Paris, everyone is busy after the huge celebrations.

The potholes in the city walls began to be gradually repaired, the innocent houses within the city walls were torn down and rebuilt, the two palaces were also busy with careful craftsmen, the Invalides received a new batch of wounded soldiers, and the revolutionary army in addition to the routine patrols, many of them also joined the construction army.

On the Seine River in the city, on the wide river, several small boats were parked side by side, and large special nets were sprinkled, and soldiers who were proficient in water plunged into the water with a fierce slam in the water.

The boats moved slowly, the nets were pulled, the soldiers plunged into the water, floated for a while, rested on the edge of the boat, took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and a group of people kept repeating themselves, as if looking for something in the water.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, a soldier floated up and waved his hand vigorously, and the boats immediately stopped and lowered some ropes.

In a short time, the corpse, wrapped in rags and aquatic plants, was salvaged, and was transported to the shore and placed on a white cloth that had been prepared.

A white-armored female general sitting under the pergola immediately stood up and walked over to identify it, but after a while, she still shook her head, with a disappointed look on her face.

Looking at the frowning brows of the lovely man in front of him, and the faint sadness on his face, Knight Eugène felt that his heart was about to break, and hurriedly walked over to comfort: "Sophie, don't worry, now the floating corpses on the river have been salvaged." This is sinking at the bottom of the lake, you can only take your time like this, and now that we have so many people to help you, your fiancé's body will definitely be found. ”

The black-armored knight standing next to him also spoke: "Sophie, you've been busy for several days, and you haven't had a good rest, so you can go back to the pergola to rest and rest first, eat something or something, okay? ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired, I just want Leon to be buried early, don't be a water ghost who died unjustly here. Miss Sophie's tone was a little cold: "You don't have to accompany me, I'm not as fragile as you think." ”

"Well, this, Sophie, I've also heard about your fiancé, although he is a cook and his martial arts are not high, but he is indeed very courageous and dares to sacrifice. It can be said that it is because of his sacrifice that we in France have ushered in such a promising future, and he is a great hero and hero of our France. He deserves the highest courtesy, the highest burial, you can rest assured, we will find him and bury him well. You can rest and rest first. The knight of Eugène looked distressed and reassured in a loud voice.

However, there were more and more corpses on the white cloth, and the new white cloth was spread and covered again, and the sky gradually darkened, and today's salvage was still in vain.

Seeing the loss on Miss Sophie's face, d'Artagnan hurriedly comforted: "Sophie, don't worry, let's continue tomorrow, there are always iron railings blocking the upstream and downstream, and the corpse will not go anywhere, as long as we continue to work hard to find it, we will definitely be able to find it." ”

"Yes, yes, don't be so sad, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, let's look forward, this, wait how about going to my house to eat something first." "The knight of Eugène was not to be outdone.

"You say. Uh-huh......" Miss Sophie's voice was soft.

"What?"

"What's wrong?"

"If he can't find it, is it possible that Leon didn't die?" Miss Sophie's voice was still soft, but it was clearly audible in the sound of rushing water.
