Long Qi's thoughts turned sharply. Han Ming and others had led the navy to hide at sea. Could it be possible that they would be discovered? It shouldn't be right, or maybe the people who sneaked into the laborers had exposed their flaws, which made Shen Zhantian suspicious.

He remained silent, only hearing Shen Zhantian say: "In the past two days, I have arranged for people to use civilian boats to patrol the sea, and I feel something is wrong."

Damn it, it really is!

Han Ming brought the ship to dock nearby. The target was actually quite big. Shen Zhantian suddenly went to patrol the sea. He should have seen something unusual. Long Qi and Lin Ruzhi were both in the carriage. This matter was also Cannot be exposed.

The dignified magistrate asked a low-status servant to ride in the carriage with him and be in the carriage. For a person like Shen Zhantian who has a deep sense of class, it was completely problematic. Therefore, Long Qi asked Lin Ruzhi Made a gesture.

Lin Ruzhi immediately pretended to be nervous and hurriedly got out of the carriage. Almost at the same time, Long Qi followed him to lift the curtain and hid himself to one side, preventing Shen Zhantian from seeing him.

"I wonder what you mean when you say the situation is not right?" The panic on Lin Ruyi's face seemed a bit ridiculous to Shen Zhantian. These parents and officials were all afraid that something big would happen under their jurisdiction, which would affect their future.

"There seems to be someone lingering on the sea." Shen Zhantian's eyes were sharp: "I also personally inspected and found something on the sea that did not belong to Southwest. According to my guess, maybe it was our construction of sea fortifications that attracted the big Kun. Notice. "

"I wonder what it is?" Lin Ruzhi asked again.

But Shen Zhantian really took that thing with him. When he took it out and took a look, Lin Ruzhi frowned: "This is it?"

It was a can made of soft metal. It was light and empty in the hand, but when you got closer you could still smell the smell of food. Lin Ruzhi suddenly thought of the thing mentioned in his wife's letter - canned food.

The shock in his eyes made Shen Zhantian have no doubts about him. He just said: "Our former prince-in-law has many fantastic ideas. Such new things may be his handiwork. If it is Da Kun, this matter Doubtful. ”

Long Qi never dreamed that such a can would attract Shen Zhantian's attention. This can was military equipment of the Navy. Someone probably accidentally dropped the finished can into the water. This thing is extremely light and will not sink. Under water!

Shen Zhantian discovered this by accident. Long Qi frowned tightly. This matter must be reported to Han Ming as soon as possible!

Lin Ruzhi was surprised to see something new that his wife said, and then he said: "There may be changes at sea, and the matter is not trivial. In this case, sir, go back to the seaside first, where the situation is the most critical. I will arrange for people to go out to the southwest to investigate!" "

"It is necessary to find the naval reinforcements as soon as possible." After Lin Ruzhi said this, he hurriedly entered the government office again. Shen Zhantian felt much better and felt that this person was someone who understood the importance of things. He also got on his horse again. , ready to leave right now.

Long Qi hid in the carriage, deliberately concealing his inner strength, and listened to the sound of horse hooves going away. After a while, Lin Ruzhi came out of it. After entering the carriage, he said, "Are you far away?"

"Leave." Long Qi said, "Sir, did you really send someone?"

"I went out to the southwest to find two of them, and they all came to my door. I have to give an explanation later, but they can't be found anyway." Lin Ruzhi said: "It's really not good for Shen Zhantian to be so alert. , what to do now?”

"Sir, take care, I have to go out for a while." Long Qi said immediately: "Things have changed, and we have to change too."

Lin Ruzhi's heart was in his throat, and he knew that things were about to turn upside down. He nodded hurriedly, and Long Qi was not in a hurry to get off the carriage. He waited until the carriage drove normally to the inner courtyard of the Lin family, then got off and quickly disappeared into the Lin family.

Lin Ruzhi knew why he was acting like this. He was worried that Shen Zhantian had a back-up plan. The matter hadn't been exposed yet, so naturally he couldn't let anyone know his identity as an insider.

Long Qi was actually overly cautious. After all, Shen Zhantian was an official sent from outside. He had no local roots and there were not many people on hand. How could anyone take care of the details for him, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered anything unusual. Later, I asked Lin Ruzhi for help.

When Shen Zhantian returned to the camp, Shilang Shang was happily discussing the next step of fortification work with a man who looked like a foreman, holding the drawings. When he saw Shen Zhantian coming back, he just raised his head and smiled without saying anything more.

After sending away the foreman, Shang Shilang said with great satisfaction: "The helpers that Prefect Lin later found are really good, and they are all very agile. Now the progress of the project has been greatly improved, and you and I will not be harshly criticized by the superiors."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Shen Zhantian didn't think anything was wrong at first: "Later, I was given a lot of money."

"That's right, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it good grass, right?" Shang Shilang said: "The people in front of us are also from the southwest, but they are sneaking around and just want to extend the project so that they can make more money. These rewards were different for the later group of people."

"They work hard. As long as they have good food and enough money, they never show any delay. They seem to be more anxious to complete the project than we are. We really have found a treasure." After Shang Shilang finished speaking, he noticed that Shen Zhantian His expression was unusually strange: "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhantian touched his ears. He couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, when he listened to Shang's words, he always felt that he had missed something. Just for a moment, an idea crossed his mind. , but failed to capture it.

"It's nothing. As long as the sea fortification goes well, we can return to the capital early. This golden nest and silver nest are not as good as our own doghouse."

Shen Zhantian's words made Shang Shilang smile. It was almost the same as sleeping in the open air. How could it be compared with their mansion in the capital? Not to mention Shen Zhantian, he also wanted to go home.

Shen Zhantian is actually more relaxed than Shang Shilang. The Ministry of Industry is directly responsible for the progress of the project, while the most important thing of the Ministry of War is to organize the Southwest Navy. Reinforcements and supplies from the Southeast Navy have been delayed, and Shen Zhantian feels that he is useless. The place of martial arts.

Seeing the busy Minister Shang, he felt melancholy and entered his tent, where Yuqing was cooking medicinal food for him. Seeing him frowning when he came in, he didn't ask much, just poured tea and water.

Shen Zhantian said: "Stop being busy, eating these all day long will make me fat."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to eat fat? You will be busy in the future." Yu Qing said: "From what I see, things here can't be completed in a short time. You must keep your health so that you can be in good condition in the future."

Shen Zhantian was not unmoved. After Yuqing finished speaking, she went to serve the pot of medicinal food. After it was ready, she took it out and kept it at just the right temperature. She brought it with the side dishes she made herself: "Master Shang, I will also send you a portion." Bar? "
