It's winter, and people are cleaning the streets in Jiangzhou City every day, so you can't see too much snow. This year is no better than last year, and everyone is busy catching up on the progress of the project. Basically everything is done in the new city, and the rest is just decoration and

Just repairing the streets.

Therefore, in the cold winter this year, there is no lively scene in Jiangzhou City. More people are leisurely shopping in the city. As the end of the year comes, people from all over the country flock here to buy new year's goods.

Even the rich people from the five states rushed to Jiangzhou City by boat or horseback to buy new year's goods. Ling Xin sat in the government office, looking at the bustling flow of people outside, and couldn't help but sigh.

Another year has passed, and this year has gone really fast. It has come to the end of the year in the blink of an eye, but Jiangzhou City is no longer what it was at this time last year, and I am not the same person I was then.

Although he dare not say that he was walking sideways in the rivers and lakes when he was in the realm of body training, self-protection was not a big problem, and the advent of the Jiangzhou No. finally made him feel a sense of security.

While Ling Xin'an was deep in thought, she received news from Jiangjiacun that they were back.

Ling Xin immediately went out and came to the shipyard again. She saw an equally amazing large ship standing on the river bank, and groups of people were transporting things from the ship.

When Ling Xin'an approached, a shadow looked at Ling Xin'an and shouted: "Sir!"

When people around him heard the sound, they came over and said, "Sir!"

Ling Xin'an looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's familiar appearance, but it had changed. The messy beard no longer looked green, and the resolute face showed calmness and calmness, even with a hint of sinisterness.

Ling Xin'an smiled, stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, patted his shoulder and said, "I'm back, just come back!"

At the same time, he waved to those dirty and resolute people and said, "Come here!"

Seeing this, the first batch of students came over immediately and said: "Sir!"

Everyone hugged each other and screamed.

They are back!

After everyone separated, Jiang Xiaoyu wiped away his tears and shouted: "Gather!"

"Sir, there should be thirty-five people, but in fact there are twenty-one!"

Looking at the row of soldiers wearing thin shirts but as solid as rock under the cold wind, Ling Xin'an's nose felt a little sore and she shouted: "Stand at attention and take a break!"

"Go back immediately to take a shower and wash your hands, and report to my officer in an hour."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone ran back immediately. Looking at the familiar figures, the people in Jiangjiacun couldn't help but murmur.

There were two ships, one with thirty-five people, but now only one has returned, with only twenty-one people. The life or death of the other ship is unknown, but the people missing from Jiang Xiaoyu will never be seen again.

Looking at the huge pirate ship in front of her, people from Jiangjiacun were carrying boxes of goods from it. Ling Xin'an smelled the smell of seafood, saw gold and silver jewelry, and saw Wuyi's precious leather clothes, and even saw some things she had never seen before.

past things.

An hour later, Jiang Xiaoyu led everyone to Ling Xin'an again. At this time, everyone's emotions had stabilized. They cleaned up and put on navy uniforms. An aura that was more oppressive than that of Dazhou soldiers came to face them.

Come on, be surprised.

Jiang Hui, Jiang Hai and others looked at each other with smiles, but there was a hint of worry in their eyes. Jiang Xiaoyu's parents were all smiles, their son had finally grown up.

"Sit down quickly and tell me in detail." Ling Xin'an said.

"Yes, sir!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

The vastness of the sea and the rippling blue waves made the two people who had just arrived at the sea marvel at everything they looked at.

The team was so excited that they stayed at the beach for two days before they separated. After all, they were shouldering a mission.

The two drew lots, and Jiang Xiaoyu went to the south. Thinking about what the adults taught him, he followed the current and went south. The first half of the month was calm. From the initial excitement to the current calmness and even a bit boring, he learned that sea water is salty.

, the fish inside are bigger than those in the Yangtze River

Even more terrifying, there were countless beautiful schools of fish, giant fish as big as mountains, and then they encountered hurricanes, tsunamis, brothers who were swept away by the hurricane, and brothers who fell into the sea and disappeared instantly. Only then did they remember what the adults once said.

The terror of crossing the sea.

Then they met pirates, and they fought and robbed each other again and again, between life and death, and again and again. They subdued some small pirates, had their own power, and slowly accumulated fame. Even now

This ship was plundered.

"Sir, my subordinates are powerless and can only bring back twenty-one brothers!" Jiang Xiaoyu said seriously.

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "No, you did an excellent job and successfully completed the task I assigned you."

"Sir, this is what you asked for!" Jiang Xiaoyu took out a scroll from his back. Inside the scroll was the coast map they surveyed and the new islands they discovered.

Ling Xin'an took it: "Look, this is for you!" Pointing to the huge Jiangzhou ship below.

"Jiangzhou number!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at those three words and couldn't help but smile on his resolute face: "Is this for me?"

"Well, not bad!" Ling Xin'an nodded.

"Sir, will that guy be okay?" Jiang Xiaoyu said worriedly.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, that kid won't die. I believe that even if he dies, he will give me his dream. I have never dreamed about him, so he can't die."

"Haha, not bad!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It would be so boring if he died so cheaply!"

Jiang Liang on the side said: "Sir, I believe him too. That guy Jin Shui didn't give me a dream either. They can't die."

Everyone nodded and looked resolute, but sighed in their hearts. Jiang Bei died, and that naive young man never came back. Jiang Liushui, a man who could never be drowned, fell into the sea and never surfaced again.

However, this is the first hurdle that the first batch of naval officers in Jiangzhou must face. If they can't pass it, they can't pass it. No matter how painful it is, they must get through it.

"Sir, we have prepared a lot of seafood, please try it, sir!" Jiang Liang said.

Ling Xin'an said: "Give it to everyone in Jiangjia Village. You deserve this. You won't come home until you get drunk tonight!"

At night, there was a lively hot pot dinner at the shipyard. All the food was seafood. People in Jiangjiacun had never eaten seafood before, and they were not used to it at first. But after taking the first bite, they felt it was delicious and couldn't stop eating it.

After coming down, Jiang Xiaoyu and others also ate chili peppers for the first time. Their parents said it was a delicacy sent by adults in person, and they were very moved when they were not in the market yet.

Ling Xin'an also taught them how to eat seafood, which is fish bones, served with soy sauce and chili, it is really delicious.

And Ling Xin'an also tasted her first seafood meal in this world.

Tonight, Ling Xin'an did not go back, but stood quietly on the river bank. Even if it was cold and freezing, Ling Xin'an stood here, eating something when she was hungry, and squinting a little when she was sleepy.

One day, two days, until the night of the third day, just after midnight, a huge black night suddenly emerged from the Yangtze River. In this late night, it was like a ghost. If it weren't for the flashing code lights there, no one would have noticed it.

.

Ling Xin'an smiled, raised her hand, and gave the same code

The sound of running figures came from the shore, which was both a warning and an expectation.

Soon, a boat bigger than Jiang Xiaoyu slowly appeared on the shore. On the bow, a figure stood on it. Even late at night, his voice was still so familiar: "Brothers, Xiaoyuer is better than us."

Come back first!"

Behind him, various voices kept sounding: "Ah? How could it be? That boy couldn't have been frightened and come back early, right?"

"Boss, how big is that guy's boat?"

"A big piece of wool is not as good as the fishing boat our village used to fish in."

"Hahaha……"

The arrogant and arrogant voice sounded. Ling Xin'an really laughed. The people on the shore also laughed and cried. Jiang Xiaoyu cursed angrily in a more strangled voice: "Get away as far as you can from me.

Your broken ship is not even big enough for me to sleep on alone!"

Immediately there was a voice on the boat: "Let me tell you, this smelly fish will not die!"

"Hahaha……"

But when everyone on the shore heard this, their hearts continued to sink. There were too few figures and people standing on the poles of the boat.

There was a loud bang and the boat docked. The shore was already brightly lit. Looking at the figures on the shore, Jiang Tao jumped up and landed heavily on the shore. Looking at the figure in the middle, he said: "Sir, I'm back!

"

Behind him, a figure jumped down, splashing water, and strode towards the shore.

"Sir, we are back!" The voice arrived before the person arrived.

A scar ran across the right side of Jiang Tao's face. It looked so terrifying. He looked at Ling Xin'an and smiled fiercely. Ling Xin'an hugged him tightly and said, "Okay, okay, okay!"

The latter patted him on the back and gave him a steady "hmm".

Looking at the twelve figures behind him, there was one with squinting eyes. Ling Xin'an let go of Jiang Tao and Jiang Jinshui heard a stench. Ling Xin'an looked at him and hammered him in a circle. The latter shook, and Ling Xin'an hugged him again.

They stopped him and hugged them one by one until they came to the last one, Jiang Musheng. He smiled lightly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. I accidentally got my eye pecked by a bird!"

Looking at his empty eyes, Ling Xin'an hugged him and said, "Speak of it, what a flying bird, next time I encounter it, I must capture it and stew it in soup!"

"Thank you, sir, but I fed him to fish!" Jiang Musheng said.

Ling Xin'an said: "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Grandpa, father, mother, I'm back!" Jiang Tao said, looking at the family members in the crowd, who had already burst into tears.

Thirty-five people went out, and only thirteen came back. Their bodies were still more or less injured. It is impossible to imagine what kind of naval battle they had experienced.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you crying?" Jiang Tao was worthy of being a thick man. Seeing Jiang Xiao Yu's eyes filled with tears, he couldn't help but joked.

"Go away, I was blown away by the wind tonight, you are crying."

"Hahaha!" Jiang Tao looked at the people on the shore and smiled and said: "Sir, do you think that these are the only people coming back?"

Everyone was surprised. Seeing this, the others immediately laughed and said, "Sir, you really don't think so, do you?"

Ling Xin'an was surprised and blinked with confusion on his face. When Jiang Tao and everyone saw this, they understood in their hearts and couldn't help laughing wildly: "Sir, half of our brothers can't come back because they are suppressing a group of pirates. If we all leave,

, those pirates are going to rebel, so they only come back half!"

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Looking at them, they all turned to stone.
