Knowing that Jin Feng would have to go to the dock frequently when he came to the East China Sea, the yard Daqiang arranged for Jin Feng was not very far from the dock. It usually only takes about ten minutes to walk there, and it is faster to ride a horse.
But today, it took Jin Feng more than half an hour to reach it on horseback.
There is no way, there are too many workers gathered in Yuxi Town now. Even though many people are working the night shift and cannot come, the workers who came are still standing on both sides of the road from the small courtyard to the dock.
And after seeing Jin Feng, he got a little excited and the situation got a little out of control.
Although the road was not blocked, Jin Feng couldn't move his horse quickly, so he could only pass by leisurely.
By the time Jin Feng arrived at the dock, the sun was already dazzling.
The dock is a closed area. After entering the dock, Jin Feng rubbed his left shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, because Runniang was shy, she didn't check the armor after putting it on, causing the rope knot on Jin Feng's left shoulder to slip onto his shoulder.
When Jin Feng found out, he had already gone out and it was difficult to adjust, so he had to carry it on.
Jin Feng's left shoulder is probably worn all the way here.
Just as he was about to dismount and find a place to take off his armor, he saw Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan coming over with senior officials from the shipyard and navy.
Princess Lu Jie also arrived. When she saw Jin Feng looking over, she bowed to Jin Feng from a distance.
If it were just Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan, Jin Feng would have gone to change clothes first, but they still had so many subordinates with them. If he left just like that, it would make it impossible for them to get off stage.
Jin Feng could only jump off his horse and greet Hong Taoping, Zheng Chiyuan and his party.
Princess Lu Jie stood far away and did not step forward, but her eyes were always on Jin Feng.
The grassland people are strong and tough, and girls also worship the strong.
Although Jin Feng's armor is heavy, its appearance looks very domineering, even a little exaggerated.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Wearing this suit of armor makes Jin Feng look more heroic. Coupled with Jin Feng's good looks and figure, he has the feeling of a Confucian general.
He has the heroic spirit of a general and the handsomeness of a young scholar.
Princess Lu Jie had seen many brave men on the grassland, including many ruthless men who could fight wolves with bare hands, but she had never seen a general like Jin Feng. For a moment, she couldn't take her eyes away.
What should be clarified to Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan was already clarified yesterday. After Jin Feng greeted the people they brought, he nodded to Princess Lu Jie and took Guan Xiaorou, Runniang and others to board the ship.
Princess Lu Jie waited until Jin Feng boarded the deck, and then followed her aboard the ship with her own people.
Jin Peng was already waiting on the deck with his sailors. After seeing Jin Feng, he saluted Jin Feng: "Sir, the Taiping is ready. Please check it, sir!"
"We'll check again later," Jin Feng waved his hand: "Let's start the boat first."
Jin Feng was a little worried after not going back for so long. The sooner he leaves, the sooner he can return to Sichuan.
"Yes!" Jin Peng saluted and shouted to the sailors: "Get ready to set sail!"
"Yes!" the sailors replied, lining up to enter the cabin and rush to their respective posts.
Before Jin Feng arrived, the steam engine was half-started. The sailors only had to go down and add a fire to boil the hot water in the boiler, and the Taiping could start.
When all the sailors left, Jin Feng asked Jin Peng: "Where is my cabin? Put your things in first."
"Sir, please come with me!"
Jin Peng saw that Guan Xiaorou's bodyguards were packed with bags and bags, so he quickly led the way.
The internal cabins of Taiping are different from those of Zhenyuan No. 2 and No. 3, as well as the high-rise ships.

Zhenyuan No. 2, No. 3 and high-rise ships are mainly used for cargo, so the internal cabins are very large, making it convenient to load and unload cargo.
The main purpose of the Taiping is long-distance voyages. The crew has to live at sea for a long time, so the comfort of the crew must be considered.
Therefore, when Jin Feng designed the Taiping, he designed many small cabins to facilitate the crew's living.
It's just that glass factories can't yet produce large pieces of explosion-proof glass. The cabins below the deck are not designed with glass windows, but with heavy steel plates.
During normal sailing, the steel plate is opened to act as a window. In windy and rainy weather, the steel plate is closed to act as a temporarily sealed iron door.
Although after closing the steel plate, torches must be lit in the cabin during the day, and the air will not be very good, but before large pieces of explosion-proof glass are made, this is the limit of what Jin Feng can do.
If there are really strong winds and waves, closing the cabin's iron doors and steel plate windows can temporarily combat the wind and waves, which may save your life in an emergency.
Compared with life-saving, comfort is a little behind.
In addition to the cabins below deck, there are also several cabins on deck.
These cabins were prepared for sailors on duty, and they also had steel plate windows, but after all, the air and lighting on the deck were better than those in the cabins below, so Jin Peng packed up these cabins and left them with Jin Feng and his party.
.
In this case, if Guan Xiaorou and the others want to see the scenery on the deck, it is more convenient than below.
Jin Feng didn't object, he picked a cabin at random, pulled Guan Xiaorou and got in.
At this time, Jin Peng was still following, and Guan Xiaorou blushed and slapped him on the shoulder angrily.
This time, the blow hit the knot of the rope, causing Jin Feng to grin in pain.
Guan Xiaorou realized something was wrong and quickly helped Jin Feng take off his upper body armor.
Then she saw that Jin Feng's left shoulder was bruised and turned red.
"Master, there is a knot here, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Guan Xiaorou blamed herself so much that she almost cried.
Because she tied the knot and forgot to check it later.
"Oh, it's just a little red, and the skin is not even broken!"
After all, I am someone who has been on the battlefield, so I can still bear the pain.
Jin Feng rubbed Guan Xiaorou's hair and said in a nonchalant tone: "Hurry and help me change my clothes, otherwise Brother Jinpeng will think we are doing inside."
Sure enough, when Guan Xiaorou heard what he said, her attention immediately shifted and she quickly helped him change clothes.
After changing his clothes, Jin Feng walked out of the cabin.
Jin Peng and the guards were standing not far from the door. When they saw Jin Peng coming out, he was fine, with a serious look on his face and his eyes were not squinting.
But when Tie Chui saw that there was no one else around, he showed his true nature again and smiled obscenely at Jin Feng.
Jin Feng didn't want Guan Xiaorou to be criticized, and he didn't want to leave a reputation like that during the day, so he explained: "The armor was a little worn just now, so go in and change your clothes."
"It's okay, we all understand!"
Iron Hammer still had a wretched look on his face.
"I understand you big-headed devil!"
Jin Feng kicked the hammer angrily.
Knowing that Tie Hammer was a shameless person, and the more he pestered him, he became more and more aggressive, so Jin Feng stopped paying attention to him and walked towards the guardrail at the edge of the deck.
