Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Seeing Kou Xiao get out of the car, Li Xu pushed Liu Shu away, took a closer look at him, and before he could see clearly, he saw the latter covering his face and turning his back, "Ah! I can't see the servant's face, my lord, why don't you?" Look."

Li Xu coughed slightly, this is really... Did he raise an extra girl? "Okay, turn around, what does a big man care about his appearance?"

Liu Shu let go of his hands, turned around and lowered his head, with tears in his eyes, he cried, "You don't know, the sun and sea breeze here are like knives, every day the slaves get darker, and now they are completely black .”

Li Xu raised his head and saw that his originally fair and clean face was indeed tanned a lot, but compared with the local residents, it was still fair.

"It doesn't matter, Nanyue has no shortage of pearls. After returning home, apply pearl powder to the face every day, and it will come back for nothing soon."

Liu Shu asked in surprise: "What the lord said is true? Can slaves use pearl powder on the face?" Not all slaves can use these precious things, they have to be rewarded by the master.

"Of course, I'll give you a box of pearls later." The two got out of the carriage after talking for a while. Kou Xiao stood not far from the carriage with his arms crossed. in anger.

Li Xu thought it was funny, but he didn't intend to coax him, Kou Xiao is a man like steel, and he is not a delicate little eunuch like Liu Shu.

Jia Ping also came, came to salute, Li Xu stretched out his hand to pull him up, looked at his face that was completely blackened, and said with emotion: "Vice General Jia has worked hard."

Jia Ping grinned, and his white teeth were particularly dazzling, "It's not hard work, all these efforts are worth it, you take a short rest, and tomorrow you can inspect the thousand sailors."

"Okay, then I will wait and see." Li Xu became happy and asked, "Where is Changqing, isn't he in the camp?"

"Yes, he has been missing for a long time. The last time I heard that he was going to go to sea with fishermen, my subordinates haven't seen him for ten days."

"Let him pay attention to safety. The weather at sea can change as soon as it is said. Don't go to sea for the next few months."

"Then you have to tell him in person, he may not be willing to listen to his subordinates." Jia Ping didn't know what kind of mission Ye Changqing had received, he was secretive all day long, and on the surface he was a lieutenant general of the navy and a soldier in the battalion We hardly ever see him.

But I also know that he is doing things according to King Shun's orders. They are bright and dark, which is also very good. He glanced at Kou Xiao, walked over and gave the military salute, "The general is here to replace Vice General Cao? "

Kou Xiao took a look at him and complimented him: "Vice Admiral Jia has done a good job. I heard that in just a few months, he has given the navy a whole new look. There is no need for this general. Seeing that the autumn harvest will recruit recruits, this general will also recruit Cao Cao." The deputy general will take it back, and this place will be handed over to Deputy General Jia."

This is also in line with Li Xu's wishes, the navy will only listen to the orders of the palace in the future, but it is just crowned with the name of Kou's army.

"Humble job must do its best."

When he arrived at the navy base, Li Xu was shocked by the sight in front of him. When he left, it was still under construction, and it looked a bit desolate, but at this time, the base was already quite large, the streets were spacious, the houses were neat, and you could still hear the sound of drills. Trumpet sound.

"Thousands of sailors need to eat and drink, plus the salt workers in Yantian. Many family members see business opportunities and move here to do some small business. For the sake of confidentiality, only family members are accepted here. After they come, they gradually don't want to go back. .”

The seaside has a pleasant climate. They settle here and do some small business. They can also rent a fishing boat to go fishing. If they can’t finish their food, they can sell it to the base or the salt factory. Anyway, the canteens on both sides need to purchase. The things they sell It's cheap and fresh, and both sides are highly sought after.

If you are lucky enough to get something good, Director Liu of Yantian will definitely take it away at a high price. I heard that it is all paid as tribute to King Shun, so no one is ashamed to ask for a high price.

"Now there are 320 military households here, all of which are built according to the standard. The streets are cleaned every day. Fights and theft are not allowed on the streets. Once found, even their family members will be released. Open up wasteland on the island."

This rule was approved by Li Xu. He hesitated at the beginning whether it was too harsh, but he thought that since these people enjoyed the protection and convenience of the base and lived a stable life, they should naturally accept the restraint. Yes, there will inevitably be quarrels when there are too many people.

Walking on the clean street, seeing the comfortable smiles on the faces of pedestrians, Li Xu also wants to settle here a little bit.

They walked all the way to the school grounds. The school grounds of the navy are different from other places. There are swing-like things hanging everywhere here. In the big sink below.After falling into the sink, you must hold your breath in the water for fifty breaths before you can emerge, otherwise you will not pass. Now the sailors here are all good swimmers, with amazing lung capacity, and even have the ability to shoot arrows with one hand.

Li Xu watched their training and deeply admired the plasticity of the ancients. A few months ago, these young people were just ordinary people, but now they are all in good spirits, and because they eat well, teenagers He has grown taller, and with the inverted triangle figure he has practiced swimming every day, he looks much burlier.

Li Xu whispered to Kou Xiao who was beside him: "General Kou, what do you think of the quality of this batch of sailors?"

Kou Xiao nodded, and praised generously: "They are very strong. If it is a close combat, they are not as good as Kou's army, but once they enter the water, they will rule the world, and their archery has also improved rapidly."

"Tomorrow the king will go to sea with them, is General Kou with him?"

"Naturally, the general wants to visit the newly developed island. I heard that many good things were found there."

Li Xu is also fascinated, this feeling of expanding the territory is so good, no wonder some emperors spend their whole lives trying to expand the territory, it is really a very fulfilling thing to divide the unknown territory into the territory.

After dark, Liu Shu took Li Xu to Yantian. He had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and he was waiting for Li Xu to enjoy it.

In summer, every movement makes people sweat. Li Xu wants to go swimming in the beach, but he is worried about not having swimming trunks. He can't go swimming with pants on, it's the same as not wearing any.

As a result, as soon as the sun went down, the off-duty workers cheered and ran towards the sea. Some of them took off their clothes while running, and by the time they entered the water, they were naked mermaids.

Liu Shu got used to seeing such scenes, at first he would reprimand them for being indecent, but later he ignored it, fearing that Li Xu would not like it, he said, "Forgive me, my lord, they are just a bunch of barbarians who don't understand etiquette. , the servant has prepared hot water, you can go take a bath and change clothes first."

Li Xu looked back at him, frowned slightly, "Xiao Liu, I also want to swim in the sea, is there a quieter place?" He didn't want to swim with a group of naked men.

Liu Shu shook his head in disapproval, "The sea water is cold, and there are big waves from time to time, so it's too dangerous. If you want to go, I will ask Vice-General Jia to accompany you."

A hand stretched out and grabbed Li Xu's arm. Before he could react, he was dragged and ran away. He shouted angrily, "Kou Xiao, you're crazy!"

Kou Xiao turned around and laughed loudly, "My lord, you just follow the rules too much. It's just a swim. There's nothing to worry about."

Kou Xiao dragged him all the way to the beach, where the sea area is wider, the beach has not been damaged, and the rocks stand on the beach, just blocking the view from the other side.

Kou Xiao kicked off his shoes, stepped barefoot on the sand, and then faced Li Xu and began to undress.

Li Xu stared at him, instinctively wanted to turn around, but felt that it was too deliberate, everyone is a man, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

When he was a child in his previous life, he had swum in the river naked, but he didn't understand anything at that time, and there was no man who stared at him covetously.

Xia Tian's clothes were already thin, Kou Xiao quickly took them off, and showed off his good figure after taking them off, "My lord, quickly take it off, is it because you are too poor to show it to others?"

Li Xu was not fooled at all, and looked at him with his arms crossed, "Since General Kou is so impatient, you go first and test the water temperature for me. No one has been to this sea area. This king will remember the kindness of the risk of the test in his heart."

Kou Xiao thought about it too, turned around and plunged into the sea, like a happy fish, quickly disappeared on the sea.

Seeing that he was gone, Li Xu slowly unbuttoned his clothes, left a pair of underpants and walked into the water. The sea water was so warm after being exposed to the sun for a day that one couldn't help but want to sink his whole body into the water.

When a wave hit, Li Xu stood there for a while, waiting for the sea water to subside before continuing to walk forward. When the sea water was below his knees, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the water and dragged Li Xu's ankle into the water. water.

Li Xu was startled, he fell backwards, his butt hit the water heavily, before he could resist, he was dragged into the deeper water.

He hurriedly closed his mouth and held his breath, and it took him a while to realize that the person holding his ankle was Kou Xiao. He was furious, and he raised his foot to kick the opponent, but the force of the water was opposite, and the opponent let go After the hand, not only did he not kick anyone, but he was pushed away by the water.

Li Xu took the opportunity to go to the surface of the water to take a breath, and then dived into the water to chase Kou Xiao. If he didn't take revenge for this kick, he would definitely not go ashore today.

Not only is Kou Xiao better at swimming than him, but he is even better at holding his breath. Li Xu didn't see him coming up after taking several breaths, and the other party deliberately hung him up. He also intentionally changed his swimming style in the water, and occasionally deliberately let Li Xu touch his feet, and when Li Xu wanted to catch him, he made another effort and swam away quickly.

The two chased each other in the water, swimming deeper and deeper, Li Xu saw the school of fish on the bottom of the sea, and also saw the hidden reefs and various seaweeds on the bottom of the sea, so he surfaced and looked back, and found that he was far away from the coast.

He had never swam so far in the sea before, and when he became aware of the crisis, he gave up chasing Kou Xiao and swam back instead.

Kou Xiao is used to playing in the sea, so he didn't think it was dangerous, but when he saw Li Xu turning his head, he naturally chased after him.

Once this person started to be mean, he couldn't stop him. Kou Xiao stuck behind Li Xu, harassing him from time to time, and when the other party turned around, he avoided it lightly and looked at him provocatively.

Li Xu lost his temper because of the quarrel, so he simply ignored him and just went back to swim. When he arrived at the shallow beach, Li Xu stood up and took a rest. The oxygen supply to his brain resumed, and his mind became more flexible.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xu suddenly plunged into the water, hugged his calves and rolled in the water, with an expression of unbearable pain.

Seeing this scene, Kou Xiao hurriedly swam over, without thinking too much, he lifted Li Xu's body and walked a few steps towards the shore.

He put the man on the beach, pressed his calf for him, and rubbed his fair calf back and forth with both hands, "My lord, your leg is cramping, bear with it first, and rub it away."

Li Xu stared at his anxious eyebrows, got up suddenly, pushed Kou Xiao into the sea, pressed on him and strangled his neck, and said viciously: "General Kou, is swimming fun?"

Kou Xiao subconsciously put his arms around his waist, not wanting to give up his heavy hand, so he hugged him vainly, with a playful smile on his face, "It's true that soldiers never tire of cheating, the prince will love you very much in the end, and he doesn't want to let you hurt, right? "

Li Xu punched him hard, then pressed his head into the water and washed it, "I see that your head is full of yellow waste, please wash it for you."

Kou Xiao is not afraid of this trouble at all, he is very good at holding his breath, but he is a little dizzy from shaking his head back and forth, but dizziness has its advantages, and when Li Xu's anger subsided, he immediately gasped weakly and said, "Your Majesty, the last general seems to be going to Dizzy, vomit..." He turned his head and retched a mouthful, fully acting out the state of dizziness and nausea.

Li Xu wasn't sure if he was really dizzy or was faking it, seeing his expression was full of pain, if it was acting, he should really be awarded an actor trophy.

"Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?" Li Xu asked bluffing.

"My lord...Your Majesty, you continue, I will punish you any way you want, that is, if I faint later, can I call someone to carry me back?" Kou Xiao said weakly.

Li Xu frowned, if he called someone, wouldn't he have to explain why Kou Xiao fainted!It can't be said that he was dizzy by himself.But if you say that he fainted from swimming, I'm afraid no one will believe it!

Besides, he was still naked, so if he went to call someone, wouldn't he tell the world that he had seen Kou Xiao's...

What a hassle!
