My battleship is stronger than yours

Chapter 120 Participating in the Ceremony

In the end, the sapphire necklace was still safely taken away by the Kuala lamp, because the little girl who was ready to output her voice became smaller and smaller until finally, she seemed to be squeezing it out of her throat. After saying a few words, "You...are you Crown Prince Kuai?", Kua La Deng nodded helplessly, and the little girl seemed to have heard something shocking, and was so frightened that she even bowed and apologized, and then "Ouch" He turned around and ran away at the sound of his voice, almost slipping before going out. Kua Ladeng stared blankly at the scene that happened in front of him, wondering whose family's two hundred and fifty were this.

When the girl ran to an alley in a panic, she immediately plunged in. In the alley, she saw a middle-aged man standing inside. The girl quickly walked up to the man and whispered, " Tell the master that I have already been in contact with the prince. Based on my performance just now, I guess he is very interested in me now. Let the master rest assured." The man nodded without saying anything and turned directly to the depths of the alley and disappeared into the darkness. , while the girl stood in the alley and said proudly, "The encounter with the prince just now, he must be too busy to know my information now, let's see how I can handle you."

At this moment, Kuala Deng is holding a freshly baked skewer in his left hand and a juice sold on the street in his right hand. His cheeks are bulging like a little hamster. In his previous life, Kuala Deng liked to eat snacks. You must know that human beings are very fond of eating snacks. The preference for calories is deeply engraved in my bones, and for the cheap, delicious and wide variety of things, in the eyes of Kuila Deng, it is very cost-effective.

Behind her, Jasmine was carrying loaded bags with a grimace. Every time she followed Kuala Deng out, she acted like a prisoner. She really couldn't understand how the prince, who obviously had no worries about food and clothing, didn't lack anything. , why do I have to buy so many things every time I go shopping, and they are all things that just look good, but are actually of no use, or are gadgets that look like children's toys at first glance.

When Kuala Deng returned to the manor, everyone had prepared barbecue items. Lighting the stove was originally the job of the servants, but in order to show off in front of Liu Ruyan, Han Shi had to volunteer to take over. After taking this task, the result is that Han Shi's face is now white and black, and the stove is still pouring smoke. The flame is not big, but the smoke is not small. Kuala Deng even teased him, "Hey, it seems that your love is as deep as smoke. "Every stove must reflect her name." Upon hearing this, Han Shi rolled his eyes, while Liu Ruyan's face turned red and she hid behind Jasmine.

When having breakfast the next day, Niu Xinyan appeared in front of everyone with the necklace. Shangguan Li Zi's eyes almost fell to the necklace. She pouted dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice, "Huh, Niu Demon King" No matter how much jewelry she has, she is still the Bull Demon King." That's right, Niu Xinyan's nickname in private has become the Bull Demon King. Originally, she thought she could sleep a little longer this morning, but as soon as eight o'clock came, she was woken up by Niu Xinyan. Although she was full of He has a gentle face, but in Shangguan Li Zi's eyes, he is a living devil.

After breakfast, Kua La Deng looked at the document handed over by Guo Jie. It asked Kua La Deng to participate in a fleet sailing ceremony. It emphatically stated that the empire had formed a new armored fleet, consisting of 350 new ships. Kuala Deng handed the document to Han Shi. Han Shi just glanced at it roughly, curled his lips and said, "There is finally progress. Everyone knows about building ironclads. It seems that your battleship has stimulated a lot." Where are the people?”

Kuala Deng shrugged, "In a week, you come with me to have a look. I guess many people will jump in front of me repeatedly." Han Shi sneered, "Hurry up and pull it down, iron armor and sail warship, these two things are combined Together, aren't they just slow targets at sea? The difference is just a few more shots." Han Shi said with great interest, "Huh? How about we release the steam engine technology? Let them take it to the next level?" " Kuaila Deng shook his head. "You know, I like the feeling of torturing vegetables. The feeling of adults beating children is simply addictive."

During this period, Niu Xinyan used the knowledge she learned to open a chamber of commerce, from fishing at sea to processing and sales, and the investment was not large. Although the time was short, she did not see any ups and downs in revenue, but Niu Xinyan was very interested in it. She never tired of this career. The fishing team she organized were all poor fishermen like her. Niu Xinyan gave them a commission that was much higher than the market price. Although she had not seen anything financially, Crown Prince Kuai was among the people. The reputation, especially among fishermen, is unprecedentedly good.

In a hut on the top floor of a small chamber of commerce, an old man sat on a mahogany sofa, slowly sipping tea on the tea table. In front of him, a young girl knelt. The old man blew out the tea foam in the teacup and drank. He took a sip, then spat out a few more tea stems, and then slowly said, "We had no chance to participate in this ceremony, but fortunately, I still have some face in the world and got one. Invitation letter." After saying that, he took another sip of tea, spit out "Bah bah" twice and then continued, "I will take you there this time. You know what to do, right?".

The girl knelt on the ground and raised her head confidently, "Master, don't worry. I believe that the Crown Prince is too tired now to know who I am. As long as I show some kindness to him, he will definitely accept me." , the old man nodded, "You have to know that not only us, but other chambers of commerce will also take action. I also know that some chambers of commerce have even dragged their legitimate daughters in and bet on the crown prince. I hope you can do it here." The girls stand out from the crowd and earn benefits for our chamber of commerce."

On the big bed next to the Kuala lamp, the spring light receded, and Niu Xinyan hugged the Kuala lamp that was lingering on her chest with a flushed face, and said softly, "I heard Jasmine say that when you were buying a necklace, there was a little girl. Interlude?", Kua La Deng raised his head and asked with a puzzled look, "Interlude? What interlude?", Niu Xinyan smiled and tapped Kua La Deng's nose, "I heard that someone else noticed that necklace first because they were afraid of you. His identity, he took the initiative to give up his love."

Kuala Deng thought about it for a long time, and then said with a look of realization, "Oh, I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me, there was just a woman, like a 250-year-old woman, and I just remember that her mouth was so smeared that she looked like she had eaten a child to death. Like, she opened her mouth and said that she had noticed the necklace first, then said a lot of incomprehensible things, and finally said that she ran away." Niu Xinyan laughed out loud after hearing this, "Don't rely on your identity. You bully honest people." Kuala Deng said vaguely while smoking, "I am that kind of person!".

A week later, Kua La Deng brought Chu Jinxiu, Niu Xinyan, and Han Shi to the military port to attend the ceremony. Kua La Deng and the others came by carriage. It was originally a day when the royal fleet was outstanding. There was no need for him to bring the fleet over to cause trouble. This time Kuai Caiwei was presiding over the ceremony on behalf of the emperor. As soon as Kuaila Deng entered the stand, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. He was in a special high-level stand, but the moment he entered the stand, the discussion below He immediately shrunk, and many eyes turned to him.

Not only that, he also discovered a strange phenomenon. It was understandable to bring family members to attend the ceremony, but in the ordinary stands below him, there were obviously more women, and there were one or two seniors sitting next to them. Girls, they were still glancing at the Kuala lantern and whispering something in the girl's ears. The girls also looked at the Kuala lantern from time to time. Although those girls were considered well-dressed, they were obviously not. It's the most appropriate thing to wear for this occasion, more like something you should wear for a prom.

Chu Jinxiu said sourly at the side, "Ladeng, you seem to be very popular. I think this ceremony is more prepared for you?" Kuala Deng shook his head helplessly, "I didn't know." At this time, Kuai La's arm on the other side of the lamp was hugged by someone. Niu Xinyan smiled and whispered, "It seems that someone has discovered the excellent lamp puller. This is a good thing." Chu Jinxiu curled her lips, but she was still neat. Holding Kuala Deng's other arm, "Excellent is excellent, but it's hard to say whether those little prodigal hooves below are worthy of Ledeng's excellence." Kua Ledeng felt that his head was about to explode.

As the low trombone sounded, Kuai Caiwei, surrounded by a group of guards, stood on the rostrum and waved to the audience. In an instant, the entire audience burst into warm cheers, and raindrops were also sprinkled in the sky. When Kuala Lantern took a look at the flower petals, he found that many people were standing on the roof above the stands desperately, scattering petals down desperately. Kuala Lantern did not stop, and burst out laughing with a "pop" sound, causing the two people next to him to laugh. The woman looked confused.

As Kuai Caiwei waved her hand and a gong sounded, Kuala Deng knew that the ceremony had begun, and those who scattered flower petals also withdrew. As the gate slowly opened, Kuala Deng saw the dark sail warship slowly moving As he drove out of the gate, Kuala Deng squinted his eyes, turned to Han Shi and said, "Hey, look, it's really an armored ship, good guy, with six masts." Han Shi was picking oranges, but he just raised his head and glanced at it. It's the same with eight masts. It's just a little more resistant to beatings than a wooden battleship. You can still get rid of all the ashes with one shot." Kuila Deng smiled and said, "Don't say that, at least they are making progress."

A total of forty armored warships participated in the ceremony this time, and the captains just stood on the deck with expressionless faces, saluting to the audience. At this moment, in a dark corner of the audience, a man looked at the scene below. , a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This country has become decadent, let me correct it with my hands. Revolution is never smooth sailing, and every revolution is accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, so let's I will be this sinner, for this country, this sinner, let me do it."
