Chapter 341 "Ruo Lin Returns"
Early morning of the seventh day of the new year.
The entire imperial capital was still immersed in the silence after the revelry. The sky above the city was quiet. In these few days of revelry, too many people were drunk, too many people were tired, and of course, many girls lost their chastity …
Ever since the coup two years ago, the imperial capital has not been this lively for a long time.
After experiencing these few days of gorgeous nights, everyone was unanimously grateful to the magical Duke of the Tulip Family for bringing this beautiful and magical 'fireworks' to this world.
In the morning, the sun had already risen. On the Lancang Canal leading to the imperial capital, a long fleet of ships was sailing towards the imperial capital. There were no less than twenty ships. What surprised the early morning boatmen on the shore was that these large ships were all sea-going ships! Every one of them was a Sea Soul-class ship. Compared with these behemoths sailing in the ocean, the other merchant ships on the river were much smaller.
As for the river near the Imperial Capital, there were naturally soldiers patrolling the river under the Imperial Capital's Public Security Bureau. These patrolling boats saw the huge fleet coming from afar, but they didn't dare to obstruct them. They immediately flashed their flags from afar, and even obediently retreated, giving way to the main river. They even immediately sent more people to clear the river, and ordered all the passing boats to give way to the huge fleet.
"I say, whose fleet is this? So arrogant? Look, all the ships on the river are giving way to them. Could it be the imperial family? "A river worker sitting on the dock could not help but ask.
Next to him, a companion who was much older than this person laughed and scolded after hearing this: "Are you blind? Can't you see the flag on this ship? The imperial family? This is not the imperial family's ship, but it is not much worse than the imperial family's ship! "
On the mast of the ship at the front of the fleet, there was a Flaming Tulip flag fluttering!
The hull of this large ship was huge, but from the sides of the hull, it was covered with mottled marks. It was as if it had experienced an extremely long and difficult voyage. There were even scratches and collisions …
The sides of the ship and the deck were covered with many traces of fighting. Some of the sailors were even wrapped in bandages. However, these sailors all had tough expressions on their faces. Even the injured ones looked very spirited!
On the deck of the ship, a woman stood there quietly with both hands on the railing in front of her. Her eyes were calm as she looked at the outline of the Imperial Capital's pier that was getting closer and closer.
She appeared to be in her twenties and her face was slightly thin. Her skin was not as fair as most women on the Roland Continent due to the long journey under the sun. However, this skin color did not diminish her beauty. On the contrary, it added a healthy sexiness to her.
Her tall and slender body was lined with soft leather armor. On the outside, she wore a strangely shaped multi-colored robe. It was unknown what material the robe was made of, but it looked as if it was pieced together with countless pieces of multi-colored cloth. Of course, the most attractive part of her body was undoubtedly her pair of slender and beautiful long legs. Even the most picky man would sigh at the miraculous creation of the gods when he saw such a pair of beautiful legs!
"Madam Ruo Lin, we've arrived."
Behind her, a sturdy and bull-like giant man walked over. He stopped at a distance and respectfully bowed his head. This bull-like giant man was dressed as a sailor. His head was wrapped in a scarf and his left eye was covered with a piece of black cloth. He only had one eye.
Ruo Lin looked at this sturdy subordinate. When they first went out to sea, his eyes were still intact and he was even a little afraid of water.
"Yes, we're back." Ruo Lin nodded. The trials on the sea had worn away the last trace of immaturity on Ruo Lin's face. At this moment, Ruo Lin's eyes were filled with tenacity and resoluteness. She waved her hand: "Give the order to dock! Everyone is on standby on the ship. Without my permission, no one is allowed to board the ship. No one is allowed to leave their post! "
This bull-like giant man was Ruo Lin's old subordinate when she was roaming the Roland Continent. He immediately obeyed the order. On the other hand, Rollin lifted his robe and slowly walked to the deck with his hand on the sword at his waist.
On the deck of the Imperial Capital's dock, there were already 200 cavalrymen wearing the Tulip Family's guard uniform waiting. The one leading them was none other than Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg had been waiting anxiously for a long time. He scratched his ears and cheeks. When he saw that the fleet had finally docked, he let out a long sigh of relief. His monkey-like face showed a heartfelt joy.
He whistled and led the Tulip Family's soldiers to the dock. After the sampan was set up, Zuckerberg saw a familiar figure appear on the deck. He laughed and said loudly: "My beautiful boss, you're finally back! I haven't seen you for a year. I thought you went to the Southeast Ocean to become a pirate. "
Ruo Lin walked down the deck and looked at Zuckerberg. Her face showed a trace of a smile, but she only patted Zuckerberg's shoulder: "You're an important subordinate of Milord. Why are you still so immature?"
Zuckerberg smiled: "I'm happy to see you back. Of course, I'm excited."
Ruo Lin raised an eyebrow, but then she saw the sincerity in Zuckerberg's eyes without the slightest hint of ridicule. Nodding, her voice softened: "Well, speaking of which, it's been a long time since we last met. The sea journey this time was much more difficult than he had imagined. But, fortunately, we didn't disgrace ourselves! "
Looking at Rolynn, Zuckerberg couldn't help but feel that this beautiful boss of his had changed a little bit. It seems like she's stronger than before, darker …. Or …. Hmm, this change can't be described in detail, but at this moment, Rolynn's whole person was like a polished gem, naturally emitting a kind of bright light.
"Where's His Excellency the Duke?"
Stunned for a moment, Zuckerberg hurriedly replied when he heard Rolynn's question: "The Duke has already arranged everything at the docks after receiving the message you sent. He also sent me to pick you up. There are also a hundred large carriages behind us ….. His Lordship said you don't need to worry about loading and unloading the goods, I'll stay here and watch. He wants you to go to the Duke's mansion immediately after you get off the ship! "
Ruo Lin's eyebrows twitched as a smile appeared in her eyes: "A hundred carriages? I'm afraid … … It's far from enough. "
Zuckerberg immediately sent people to bring horses over. Then, he led Ruo Lin back to the Duke's mansion.
As for the twenty ships, Zuckerberg immediately mobilized all his men. They were all from the Tulip Family. Originally, there were a lot of boatmen and coolies at the pier. When they saw such a big fleet coming to shore, they came to look for work.
But when they were far away, they were stopped by the Tulip Family's guards. They politely told these people: The goods on the ships are the Duke's favorite. All the loading and unloading will be handled by the Tulip Family's people. There's no need to trouble outsiders.
Although there are always some local tyrants at the pier, these ant-like people wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Duke.
•
Ruo Lin rode her horse all the way into the city. She didn't stop at all. She was swift and decisive when she arrived at the majestic and luxurious Duke's mansion. Just as she jumped off her horse, she saw the mansion's gate was already open. Many servants and guards came out to greet her. Then, someone led Ruo Lin inside until they arrived at Du Wei's small study courtyard.
This small courtyard was the study courtyard used by Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond. At this moment, Du Wei was just like his father.
When Ruo Lin pushed the door open, Du Wei was sitting behind the desk. When he saw Ruo Lin come in, Du Wei raised his head and smiled. He warmly said: "Oh, you're back? Very good. Sit down. "
His tone was relaxed and plain. It was as if Ruo Lin didn't go out to sea for more than a year. Instead, he sent her to go around the city.
When Ruo Lin saw Du Wei, she felt that the young Duke seemed to have grown up a little. Those eyes that she didn't dare to look at before looked even more unfathomable now! Although there was a smile on his face, the majesty between his eyebrows … … Compared to before she went out to sea, the Duke had the temperament of an important person who controlled the life and death of countless people.
Ruo Lin knelt on one knee. First, she solemnly saluted the family's guardian Knight. Her original official identity was the family's guardian knight that Du Wei accepted. Then, she sat on the chair that Du Wei pointed at.
"Tell me." Du Wei smiled and said: "You went out for more than a year without any news. I was really worried in my heart. I was afraid that those Nanyang people would be extremely daring and dare to harm you. In that case, I couldn't help but encourage the Regent to launch another Nanyang expedition to save you. "
Ruo Lin smiled faintly. Her temperament was also much calmer than before: "Sir, this trip out to sea was much more difficult than we previously expected. First of all, our fleet was originally only going to and fro in the coastal waters. Nanyang is thousands of miles away. This kind of long-distance sea journey is really difficult to predict on the road. On the way, we crossed several hurricanes and huge waves. The time that we estimated in advance was simply not enough. But fortunately, after arriving at Nanyang, we went all the way south. We brought that old Nanyang fellow with us. The Nanyang tribes that we encountered on the way didn't dare to stop us. "
"Oh …" Du Wei nodded: "You arrived at that Nanyang United Kingdom … … What's that place like?"
When this question was raised, Ruo Lin couldn't help but have a trace of a strange expression in her eyes. After a long time, she let out a long sigh: "That place … … is very beautiful! Very beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful place in my life! "
Then, she took down the bag on her back and took out a scroll from it. She slowly unfolded it, but it was a meticulously drawn map of Nanyang.
"Sir, before I set off, you ordered me to pay attention to the voyage along the way. I had to draw a map. Hmph, that old fellow who followed me tried to guard against me in the beginning. When we arrived at Nanyang, he even deliberately guided us to take detours. Later, I saw through him and taught him a lesson. I saw that he wasn't honest, so I might as well go all the way. I directly ordered the fleet to stop at a small island and captured a person from a small tribe on that island to interrogate. The people of Nanyang are also people. Good wine and gold were enough to make them talk. Only then did I know that that old fellow led us to take a lot of detours … "
Du Wei smiled: "How did you deal with him?"
Ruo Lin raised her eyebrows: "I didn't do much to him. Sir, you said it before. I couldn't harm his life, so I only used a rope to tie him up and then threw him into the sea to soak for three days. "
When Du Wei heard that, he laughed loudly. Then, he took the map, placed it on the table, and slowly unfolded it …
The Imperial Capital was drawn with waterproof canvas, and on top of it was a vast sea! Those islands were scattered all over the Nanyang sea. Ruo Lin even drew a few routes. These routes avoided some dangerous sea areas, reefs, and whirlpools.
At the southernmost end of the imperial capital was a large island!
Du Wei pointed at the large island and said, "This is …"
"Sir, this is where the Nanyang United Kingdom is. This is the largest island in Nanyang that I know of. The area of this island is as large as two provinces of our empire. Currently, there are more than twenty tribes of various sizes under the Nanyang United Kingdom, and they all live on this island. The population on this island alone is about five million. Moreover … Sir, there are many things on this island that are extremely strange in my opinion! "
"Strange?" Du Wei's interest was piqued.
Originally, he was full of expectations for Nanyang. As for the strange things.
Hmph: "Du Wei, how are you? Are you surprised? "— F * ck, what could be stranger than this message?
Could it be related to the clues of this matter?
