Chapter 374 Chapter 341 Ruolin Returns

The morning of the seventh day of the new year. The entire imperial city was still immersed in the silence after the carnival, and the sky above the city was silent.Just these few days of carnival nights, too many people were drunk, too many people were exhausted, and of course, many girls lost their virginity... Since the imperial capital coup two years ago, the imperial capital has not been this lively for a long time. After experiencing the gorgeous nights of the past few days, everyone is unanimously grateful to the magical Duke Tulip for bringing such beautiful and magical things as "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 heading towards the imperial capital. There were a total of twenty large ships. To the surprise of the boatmen who got up early on the shore, These big ships are all sea ships!Each of them is a sea soul-class ship. Compared with these behemoths driving in the ocean, the other merchant ships on the river are much smaller. And on the river channel close to the imperial capital, there are naturally patrolling sailors on the river channel under the Public Security Department of the imperial capital. , immediately raised the flag, and even backed away obediently, giving way to the main river, and even immediately sent more people to clean up the river, ordering all passing ships to back off, and let this huge fleet go first.

"I said, whose fleet is this, so arrogant? Look, the boats on the river are all trying to give way? Could it be the royal family's?" A river transporter sitting on the pier couldn't help asking. A companion next to him was much older than this person. After hearing this, he laughed and cursed: "Blind your eyes! Didn't you see the flag on this ship? The royal family? This is not the royal family's ship, but it is not much worse than the royal family!" On the big ship at the forefront of the fleet, on the mast, a flaming tulip flag fluttered impressively!

This first big ship was huge in size, but from the perspective of the hull on both sides, it was covered with mottled marks, as if it had gone through an extremely long and difficult voyage, and there were even scratches and impacts... On the side of the ship, on the deck, there were many traces of the fight, and even some sailors who came and went were even bandaged.It's just that, these sailors, everyone has a fierce expression on their faces, and even the injured ones look so energetic! On the ship building, a woman stood there quietly, holding the fence in front of her with both hands, and calmly looked at the outline of the imperial capital wharf that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

She looks only in her twenties, her face is slightly thin, and the long-term sea voyage makes her skin not as fair as most Roland women, and it looks a bit wheat-colored. But it didn't reduce her beauty at all, but added a bit of healthy sexiness instead. Her tall body is lined with soft leather armor, and on the outside, there is a colorful long robe with a strange shape. It is unknown what kind of fabric the robe is made of, but it seems to be pieced together with an unknown number of pieces of cloth of five colors. Like, of course, if it is said that the most attractive thing is without a doubt her pair of slender and healthy legs—even a man with the most picky eyes can't help but sigh when he sees such a pair of beautiful legs The magic of God's creation!

"Lord Ruolin, we're here." Behind him, a huge man with a sturdy figure as strong as a bull came over, stopped at a long distance, and bowed his head respectfully.This savage giant was dressed like a sailor, with a turban on his head, and on his face, the left eye was covered with a black cloth, but it was one-eyed. Ruolin looked at this Biaohan's subordinate - when he first went out to sea, his eyes were still intact, and he was even a little afraid of water. "Well, yes, we're back." Ruo Lin nodded.The tempering at sea wiped away the last trace of immaturity on Ruo Lin's face. At this moment, Ruo Lin's eyes revealed the tenacity and fortitude after the storm, and she waved her hand: "Order, dock! Everyone on board Stand by, without my permission, no one else is allowed to board the ship, and everyone is not allowed to leave their posts!"

This savage bull was Ruo Lin's old subordinate when she was in Roland Continent, and he immediately took orders.And Luo Lin flicked his robe, then held down the saber at his waist with one hand, and walked slowly onto the deck. On the pier deck of the imperial capital, there were already two hundred cavalrymen wearing the uniforms of the Tulip family guards waiting, and the leader was none other than Little Zach. Little Zach had already waited anxiously, scratching his ears and cheeks. Seeing that the fleet finally docked, he heaved a long sigh of relief. His face, which looked like a big horse monkey, showed sincere joy.

He whistled and approached the pier with the soldiers of the Tulip family. After the sampan was set up, little Zach saw the familiar figure appear on the deck of the ship, so he laughed and said loudly: "My beautiful old boss, you are finally back! I haven't seen you for a year, and I thought you were a pirate in Nanyang." Ruolin stepped down from the deck and glanced at little Zach. She had a smile on her face, but she just lightly patted little Zach on the shoulder: "You are also an important person under your lord, how do you talk and do things? Still so unstable."

Little Zach smiled: "Seeing you come back makes me happy, so naturally I'm excited." Ruolin raised her eyebrows, but then she saw the sincerity in little Zach's eyes, without the slightest hint of ridicule, so she nodded and said in a softer voice: "Well, speaking of it, it's been a long time since we met. This time The sea voyage is much more difficult than imagined. However, fortunately, it is not a shame!" Little Zach looked at Ruolin, and always felt that this former beautiful boss seemed to have some strange changes. It seemed that he was stronger and darker than before...or... well, this change seemed to be specific. It's hard to say, but at this moment, Ruolin's whole body is like a gem that has been sharpened, and she naturally emits a kind of bright light.

"Where is the Duke?" Little Zach was stunned for a moment, when he heard Ruolin asking, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency has received the messenger you sent, and has already arranged everything on the pier, and sent me to bring someone to pick you up, and I will prepare for it later. One hundred carts... My lord said, you don’t need to worry about loading and unloading, I’ll watch over here. After you get off the boat, go to the Duke’s mansion immediately to meet him!” Ruolin raised her eyebrows, and there was a smile in her eyes: "A hundred carts? I'm afraid...it's not enough."

Afterwards, little Zach immediately sent someone to bring the horse over, and then led Ruo Lin back to the Duke's mansion. As for the twenty boats, Little Zach immediately mobilized all the manpower, but they all belonged to his Tulip family.Originally, there were quite a few boatmen and coolies working on the wharf to make a living. Seeing such a large fleet dock, they all came up to find work. But after a long distance, he was stopped by the guards of the Tulip family, and told these people very politely: The goods on these ships are the favorite things of the Duke, and all the handling and loading and unloading are handled by people from his own family. Foreigner. Although there are always some local snakes in this port, how can these ants-like guys dare to trouble the Duke of Tulip? ... Ruolin rode her horse and galloped all the way into the city. She didn't stop at all, and acted swiftly and swiftly. She arrived at the majestic and luxurious Duke's Mansion. As soon as she jumped off the horse, she saw that the gate of the Duke's Mansion was open, and many servants and guards came out to greet her. Then someone He took Ruolin inside and came to Du Wei's study courtyard. This small courtyard was the small study courtyard used by Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond. At this moment, Du Wei is just like his father. When Ruolin opened the door and came in, Du Wei was sitting behind the desk. Seeing Ruolin coming in, Du Wei just raised his head and smiled, and said softly, "Well, you're back? Very good, sit down." The tone was relaxed and flat, as if Ruo Lin hadn't been out at sea for more than a year, but was just sent by him to randomly circle around the city. When Ruolin saw Du Wei, she felt that the young Lord Duke seemed to have grown up a bit. The eyes that made her dare not look at them looked more and more unfathomable now!Although he was smiling, there was majesty between his brows...Compared to before he went out to sea, His Excellency the Duke has more and more the temperament of a big man who controls countless lives. Ruolin knelt down on one knee, and performed a solemn etiquette as a guardian knight of the family - her original most formal identity was the guardian knight of the family accepted by Du Wei.Then, he sat on a chair that Du Wei pointed to. "Talk about it." Du Wei said with a smile: "You have been away for more than a year, and there has been no news. I am really worried. I am afraid that those Nanyang people will be bold and dare to harm you. In that case, I can't say, I will Encourage the regent to launch another Nanyang expedition to save you." Ruolin smiled slightly, and her demeanor was much calmer than before: "My lord, going to sea this time is much more difficult than we expected. The first thing is that our fleet originally only traveled in the offshore, and the South Seas Thousands of miles away, this kind of long-distance sea journey is really unpredictable on the way. We have encountered several hurricanes and huge waves along the way. The time estimated in advance is simply not enough. But fortunately, we arrived After Nanyang, we went all the way south with that old Nanyang guy by our side, and the Nanyang tribes we met on the way didn't dare to stop us." "Well..." Du Wei nodded: "You have arrived at the United Kingdom of South Seas... Where is it, and what is it like?" When this question was mentioned, Ruolin couldn't help showing a strange look in her eyes, and after a long time, she sighed: "Where...it's beautiful! Very beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my whole life." place!" Afterwards, she took off the baggage behind her, took out a scroll from it, and slowly unfolded it. It turned out to be a carefully drawn map of Nanyang. "My lord, before I set off, you ordered me to pay attention to the voyage all the way, and I must draw a map. Huh, that old guy who went with me tried to guard against me at first, and when he arrived in Nanyang, he deliberately Pointing us to a detour, I saw through it later, and gave him a hard lesson. I thought he was dishonest, so I simply ordered the fleet to stop by a small island and arrested a man on that island. People from small tribes came to ask questions. Nanyang people are also human beings, and good wine and gold are enough to make them speak. Only then did I know that the old guy took us many detours..." Du Wei smiled: "How did you deal with him?" Ruolin raised her eyebrows: "I didn't deal with him much. You said it, my lord. I couldn't hurt his life, so I just tied him with a rope, and then threw him in the sea for three days." Du Wei laughed when he heard this.Then took the map, put it on the table, and slowly unfolded it... This emperor is drawn on waterproof canvas, and it is a vast sea area!Those dotted islands are dotted all over the South China Sea, and Ruolin even drew a few routes.These routes avoid some dangerous sea areas, hidden reefs, and vortex areas. And the southernmost tip of the imperial capital is a big island! Du Wei pointed to the big island and said, "This is..." "My lord, this is where the Nanyang United Kingdom is located. This is the largest island I know in Nanyang. The area of ​​this island is as large as the two provinces of our empire. Currently, there are More than 20 tribes, large and small, all live on this island, and the population of this island alone is about 5 million. And... my lord, there are many other things that seem to me extremely weird on this island! " "Weird?" Du Wei became interested. Originally, he was full of expectations for Nanyang, as for the weird things. Hum "Du Wei, how are you? Surprised?" - Damn, what could be weirder than this message? Could it be that it has something to do with the clues of this matter?
