Knight line GL

The old man with a broken arm claimed to be surnamed Li, and he was originally the head of the southwestern branch of Zhuyi Palace.He told Li Zhaoxue about the hall master Zhao Sanniang's likes and dislikes, how to speak in front of her, and how to deal with interrogation by her subordinates.

From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, not a single detail is left behind.

Zhao Sanniang has always disliked those wandering sailors in the shipyard, that's why she drew a line with Vice-President Zhou.Now these short-sighted people dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it is really lawless.She was so angry that she pulled Vice Hall Master Zhou out of the bed overnight.

Before dawn, the news spread all over the island.For a time, there were different opinions, and there was a lot of trouble.Soon it spread to the ship, because there were still many female relatives living on the island, most of them were the wives and children of the big and small stewards of Zhuyi Palace, everyone was shocked and angry when they heard the news.

Vice Hall Master Zhou is tactful, not to mention that this matter is wrong.He sent people to send many gifts, and then came to the door to make an apology.Zhao Sanniang originally wanted to give him some flair, to take advantage of his prestige.But Ayan is not a big shot, and Meizi is even a worthless little maid.

The confidants advised her: "Everyone is already dead, the hall master can just stop. What's more, Li Zhaoxue is fine, everything is decided by the palace master."

Zhao Sanniang and Deputy Hall Master Zhou agreed to give Fu Huai a letter explaining the cause and effect.The matter ended like this, only two small graves were added to the top of the mountain.

After the twelfth lunar month, the end of the new year is approaching, and every household in the south and sea is busy, and the island is no exception.By the day before New Year's Eve, there was not even a single person in the streets and alleys.Because today is a big day, anyone with good legs and feet will go to the pier to welcome the Dragon Boat back to Hong Kong.

According to the old routine of previous years, Zhao Sanniang and Vice Hall Master Zhou went to Dragon Ship to report their duties.Vice-Hall Master Zhou was worried all the way, after all, it was only a month since Zhou Daxia's incident, and the limelight hadn't completely passed away.And Zhao Sanniang not only loves to rely on the old and sell the old, but she has always had to treat others.

He has the heart of a villain, but Zhao Sanniang didn't think too much about it, there is no need to waste words after death.She went to Fu Huai and handed over this year's account book, then stepped aside and stood with her hands behind her back.

Fuhuai sat leaning on the chair, and wanted to ask a few questions, but seeing Zhao Sanniang held her head up and her chest up, she felt displeased and waved her hand: "Everything remains the same during the Spring Festival, let's go down."

Du Cane sent the two of them back to the room, saw her open the case book and stopped at one page, stepped forward and asked softly: "What interesting things does the Palace Master see?"

Fuhuai stared at the three words "Li Zhaoxue", and was a little lost in thought for a moment, and said lazily, "Bring me here."

Du Cane wanted to ask her if it was Li Zhaoxue, Tang Tianxiang or Liu Rouyan, but she swallowed the words.In response, he turned around and went out to summon the guards: "Go, catch up with Hall Master Zhao, and invite Miss Li over here. Don't worry, just come back before dark."

Fuhuai heard her talking outside the door, sneered and threw the case book on the table.She got up and walked to the wall, looking at the map of mountains and rivers, she couldn't help thinking about it.

Travel around the world, carefree.But if you can travel all over the world and let mountains, rivers and lakes come and go, then you will be free, free, and powerful.

Du Zhi walked back into the room, glanced at the map of mountains and seas, and asked softly, "Master, since last month, there has been no news from Liuchun City. The east tide has arrived, do you want to send someone to check?"

Fu Huai said: "Even you are fascinated by Dong Jun's demeanor?"

Knowing that she was joking, Du Zhi stepped forward: "This subordinate feels that what Dong Jun said is not unreasonable, and his lips and teeth are cold. Although our Zhuyi Palace is in the East China Sea, the four seas are connected. Once the sea man crosses the South China Sea..."

Fu Huai raised his jaw, looking far into the south of the Mountains and Rivers Wanli Map.This magnificent picture scroll is not a precise map.On the picture, Liuchun City is just a cape that hangs alone overseas, shaped like a willow leaf, facing the sea on three sides.

The world's impression of it is only that it is the city of Dongjun Qingfei. Every year when the cold winter leaves, the first ray of spring breeze in China blows from there, and the first flower blooms there.

Flowing Spring City is the southernmost part of Shenzhou. The painter only painted a few strokes of the vast sea to the south of it, and then it was covered by mist and clouds.

"There are Twelve Cities Leagues behind Liuchun City, and I can take care of them for a while." Fu Huai lazily waved his sleeves, sat back on his chair, and looked at Du Zhi with a smile, "It's okay to send spies to take a look, but once you intervene It’s a problem. I helped this year, but will I help next year? Look at Jianye City, even the huge furniture can’t afford to consume it. If it wasn’t for the coincidence that the organ city moved there, it would be a headache too late. The matter of Haiman is not on the table for the time being. Let's worry about it, because she has a headache for the Twelve Cities Alliance."

Du Cane smiled and said, "Palace Master, our Zhuyi Palace is not City Master Chi."

Fu Huai raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Guan Du, everyone said that you have a sweet tongue and a sword in your belly, it's true."

Du Zhi cupped his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "The palace lord praises, but the subordinates dare not take it. We have been operating in Chang'an for a long time, and we can easily catch it. But now that the Jing family has returned, it is really eye-catching. If what Jing Ting said is true, the sea barbarians are in danger. It is so serious that Liuchun City will not be able to support it sooner or later. Although the four seas are vast, except for his Qing family's South China Sea Fleet, only our Zhuyi Palace, the number one navy, will be left. At that time, we can do business. Even if we open our mouths and ask for a sister Su Cheng is not afraid that the Twelve City Alliance will not give it in the end."

Fu Huai asked: "How many ships of Liuchun City will go to sea this year?"

"Two, but Dongchao destroyed three Flying Tigers last year...

Before Du Cane could finish speaking, Fuhuai's smile subsided and interrupted her: "Is there any progress in our shipyard?"

Du Cane was stopped by her, so she could only comfort her: "Palace Master, you know that the Taiji Palace burned for nine days and nine nights, and everyone's manuscripts have long been wiped out. When the old ghost was in power, there was no serious business in the palace. The craftsmen died all over the place. Over the years, we have been struggling to maintain the repair of the Dragon Boat Painting Boat, which is no longer acceptable..."

With a wave of Fu Huai's long sleeves, all the books and records on the table were swept on the ground: "Every time I ask, it's not easy, and now even Wen Renzhen has moved out. How long has she been dead? The Tai Chi Palace burned down. Nine days and nine nights, is it only Taiji Palace? How can Liuchun City have a big boat?"

Du Zhi explained with a wry smile: "For decades of war and chaos, nine out of ten folk classics and materials have been destroyed. Liuchun City is far away in the South China Sea, so it can avoid the chaos in the Central Plains..."

Fu Huai was even more angry: "It has been eight years since the shipyard was built, with millions of real money invested, even if it started from nothing, it should be getting better now!"

Du Cane didn't dare to say any more, after all, the matter of the shipyard was indeed a thorn in his throat.At that time, Fuhuai fought against all opinions and promoted a few craftsmen without martial arts, hoping that they could rebuild the big boat like a painting boat.After all, the ships of Zhuyi Palace are still old things from the previous dynasty, and the oldest one is more than 60 years ago.

During the heyday of the Dashang Navy, there were [-] giant ships, but so far there are only two or three, and most of them are in Zhuyi Palace and Liuchun City.The Zhuyi Palace was handed down to Fu Huai. Originally, there were sixteen large ships, which had been damaged and sunk successively over the years.

Fuhuai waved his hand: "That's all, I can still make you fail in shipbuilding."

Du Zhi bent down and picked up the books and files on the ground, a home plate would be good: "My lord, I would like to go, but I don't have such a skill. After ten years of martial arts training, I may not be able to become a teacher, and the same is true for shipbuilding skills. Besides, no matter how talented you are , Vice Hall Master Zhou can't create his own martial arts either."

Fuhuai snorted coldly: "You will praise him, I just want a good carpenter who can build boats."

Du Cane knew that he couldn't persuade him, so Fuhuai would be angry when he mentioned this time.But building a large ship is not a one-day job. When the Jing family was in its heyday, there were countless shipyards in Guangling, Runzhou, Gusu, Huzhou... large and small.There are tens of thousands of craftsmen at the Guangling government shipyard alone.How can it be compared with today's Zhuyi Palace?

Furthermore, the large ships at that time used more than ten feet long teak as the keel, and the hull was wrapped with copper skin glue to prevent corrosion of barnacle sea worms.

Now that the southern border is blocked and the northern border is impassable, there are few such giant trees on the coast of the East China Sea.In the past 20 years, the mines in various places have only been reopened one after another. Although there are coins minted in major cities, the quality is worrying because of the lack of copper and iron and tin.The secret recipe of glue paint is long lost and nowhere to be found.

Fuhuai's anger comes and goes quickly.She pressed the center of her eyebrows, and then asked, "Is there any news about the Canaanite religion?"

Seeing that she opened up the topic by herself, Du Cane quickly replied: "There are activities everywhere, but there is not much movement, and we can't buy people's hearts by spreading porridge and medicine. There was news of Jingzhe buried on the Jing family's big boat half a month ago. Send it back."

"The land of Canaan is too far away, we still have to attack their palace master." Fu Huai suddenly paused and snorted rather displeased.

On the floating island of Zhuyi Palace, although there are spies all over the rivers and lakes, it takes some effort to get the news back.Before the twelfth lunar month, the information that the Immortal Prison had returned to Taihe Mountain was sent back.Fuhuai was afraid that this matter might be related to the return of the Jing family, so he sent many people there, but there was no news.

Du Cane was still waiting to speak, when someone outside announced in a low voice: "Palace Master, Miss Li is here."

Du Cane bowed slightly, and saluted Fu Huai: "You eat first, this is Chinese New Year, calm down."

Fu Huai raised her eyebrows: "I'm afraid she will get angry with me."

Even so, Fu Huai did not retain Du Cane.She raised her hand to press the golden hairpin on her temples, and rested her long-sleeved jade hand on her waist.

When Li Zhaoxue came in, she saw that she was holding the case book with one hand, and she was reading it intently.Li Zhaoxue didn't dare to disturb her, she stood quietly by the door and waited.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Fuhuai waited for a while, and said slowly: "I heard that you killed four people in a row, the old lady is very relieved to know."

Li Zhaoxue raised her eyes to look at her, and looked down on her expression because the case book blocked her. She didn't know if she was happy or angry, or she wanted to settle accounts with herself.After thinking about it, not daring to be careless, he replied according to the old man with the broken arm: "If things happen helplessly, it's all up to the palace lord."

Seeing that she was well-behaved, Fuhuai was very happy, so Fang Xia got up from the case and walked to Li Zhaoxue's side, pinched her chin and looked at her carefully.

She looks like a smile but not a smile, she has the demeanor and elegance of a superior, her face is as gorgeous as a peony, and the black temples and golden hairpins are shining, which always made Li Zhaoxue lose her soul in the past.Now in Li Zhaoxue's eyes, he looks like a moody tyrant.

Fu Huai smiled and said, "I lost weight."
