The sword god brushed the Taoist robe

Blue sea, blue sky, gentle wind, the sound of the waves remains the same.

Xu's words worked in the end, and the slow-moving fleet returned to its normal speed.

As expected, Mrs. Xu kept her word. She never spoke to Xia Ningru until she disembarked. Xia Ningru went to look for her in person, but the other party had disappeared, as if she had never appeared before.

Xia Ningru is not afraid of others guessing the identity of this woman, even if they are old acquaintances, no one would guess that his wife who had "dead" for more than ten years had suddenly come back to life.

What's more, even if someone says it, there is no evidence. Xia Ningru has nothing to fear.

Although the appearance of this woman is indeed a bit strange, his attitude makes people feel nothing.

On the other side, Xia Xiaoqin, who Qiu Wandai had been waiting for, saw her when only a little shadow appeared a few miles away from the boat. come out.

Xia Xiaoqin was the first to discover it, and immediately pulled Qiu Wandai's sleeve and shook it. He was so excited that he said inarticulately: "Brother, brother, see if it means that Dad and the others are back."

As soon as his words fell, someone hurried up from the stone stairs beside him, and reported to them the estimated time of the fleet's arrival. This time, because they could already see it, as long as they were experienced seamen, they could predict it accurately. The time for the fleet to arrive, not to mention the soldiers they have been stationed here.

In fact, even if they didn't find out and no one came to report to them, they could still hear the soldiers cheering and celebrating the sailors' triumphant return. The blood-boiling pride that comes with defending the country.

"Eldest son, young master, Mr. Ximen, the head of the thousand households asked me to invite you to go down to the shore together to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers."

Hearing this, Qiu Wandai immediately picked up the little guy, followed him down the city wall with Ximen Chuuxue, and headed towards the east gate, which was a little farther away, crossed the relatively clear moat, bypassed the hill where the beacon tower was located and the road ahead. In the woods, they came to a light golden sandy beach with fine white softness.

This was the closest they got to the sea, and the little guy couldn't hold back his excitement for a long time. He broke free from Qiu Wandai's hand, and ran towards the beach with a "da da da".

His movements are very agile. Although the beach is thin and soft, he can't step on it, but he can stand upright every time he is about to fall. In the words of later generations, it is his motor nerves Very developed.

Qiu Wandai also let him go, and he and Ximen Chuuxue walked slowly behind.

The bright sunshine, the golden sandy beach much larger than expected, the continuous coastline, the vast blue sea nearby, and not far away is the lush and green Dajin Island. , most of the time the beach is always full of people, because of the cleanliness of the sea, the ocean and the coast are one of the few places where the air quality is not bad. In winter, many people went to the beach to play without fear of the severe cold. At that time, Qiu Wandai, a student at that time, often looked at the photos on the beach, and he was afraid of that place.

Although the beach is now crowded with soldiers who welcome the return of the fleet, there are far fewer people than there were in Qiu Wandai's later generations.Although he was excited, he had a vague feeling of being able to go to the beach with his lover, although the time and the situation were not quite right.

——If there is no one here, maybe Qiu Wandai still wants to hold hands with someone romantically, and have a kiss.

Cough, this is also the first time a certain person is in a relationship. Although he is usually in a daze, he still has these small thoughts.

The fleet at the other end of Bibo is gradually approaching, and only when you get close can you see how big the ships of this era are.

Of course, this cannot be compared with the ships of the later generations that can move tens of thousands of tons, but it can also be seen that even with the continuous sea ban and lifting of the ban in recent years, the strength of the navy is still very good.

At this time, it was the end of Shenshi, and when it was approaching Youshi, the sun that was still hanging high gradually softened, and gradually fell to the west, heading to the other side of the sea.

Xia Ningru and the others finally reached the pier before the high tide.

When the ship docked, soldiers stepped forward to respond immediately. The cheers on the wide wooden plywood suddenly seemed to be boiling hot soup with big bubbles, and the trend was getting bigger and bigger, which directly raised the morale to an unprecedented level. Even the sound of beating gongs and drums on the shore can't compare with it.

"It's so lively." Qiu Wandai was always quiet and wanted to cover his ears at this moment, but of course he couldn't do that in front of thousands of people.

The three of them were crowded to the front, standing next to the head of the thousand households. Xia Xiaoqin, who had been running around, had already been caught by him, but the little guy was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and his dancing and dancing were very different from his usual well-behaved appearance. , looking like he's playing crazy.

Qiu Wandai was sure that even Xia Ningru had never seen Xia Xiaoqin so crazy.

Although Ximen Chuuxue was also quiet, but at this moment his expression was calm, as if he hadn't been affected in any way.

What's even more rare is that under such a loud noise, he was able to catch Qiu Wandai's voice at the first time, and came back with a sentence: "Victorious and triumphant, that's it."

His deep voice just passed into Qiu Wandai's ears, making him feel a little itchy.

It was as if in the noisy background, the two had such a small secret that could communicate with each other, Qiu Wandai could even hear the beating of his own heart.

"Triumph! Triumph! Triumph! Triumph!" As the first soldier disembarked, cheers began to resound through the sky.

It's just that after the first few soldiers came down, there was no movement on the boat.

This confuses Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu who went up to meet him, as well as the higher-ranking military officers and local officials standing aside, but because the cheers didn't stop, Qiu Wandai didn't think it was strange at all.

It wasn't until a while later, when the kid Xia Qin tugged at his sleeve and howled a few times, and asked where Xia Ningru was, that Qiu Wandai realized something was wrong.

"Don't worry." Someone's voice sounded at the right time, somehow reassuring Qiu Wandai.

"It's okay," Qiu Wandai knelt down and whispered into Xia Xiaoqin's ear, "Daddy will come down soon, you can continue cheering with the soldiers, Daddy will definitely hear you."

Hearing Qiu Wandai's words, little Xia Xiaoqin became enraged instantly. Among so many people, he was the only child who was only halfway up to an adult's waist. Even though there were many people here, he looked very short, but their area was very empty. , he was particularly conspicuous when he ignited.

I don't know if it's because the only child present looked extraordinarily excited. Several high-ranking households not far from him were instantly infected, and the excitement turned into madness in the blink of an eye. This joy is naturally transmitted from person to person. Yes, as long as they take the lead, the atmosphere on the beach is getting hotter and hotter.

Leaving aside the other men in heavy armor, Xia Xiaoqin was already sweating profusely. He looked like he had fallen into the sea and was picked up again. Qiu Wandai had prepared a handkerchief to wipe him off. Khan, at this time, the veil was wrung out several times, so he didn't care about it. Fortunately, no one was shirtless. One can imagine what the consequences will be when Lord Ye comes out...

But after a while, a certain Marquis still didn't come out. If he didn't come out, the other people couldn't come out first.

But soon, Xia Ningru walked out of the cabin calmly with a shallow smile, and the cheers that resounded through the sky rolled up a whirlwind wave with his arrival. On the high mountain behind the fort, Many people even heard the news, and the sound from the other side echoed the cheers from this side. At this moment, everyone was celebrating the victorious sailors.

Qiu Wandai thought that most of these people's cheers were for his brother - of course, that was true, but hearing that Xia Ningru could control and affect the emotions of the people present, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop From the sudden silence here, it seems that he really underestimated his father who can buy people's hearts. Even if he has only been here for less than a month, the soldiers here really respect him and fear him, a paratrooper from the imperial court. , rather than just fearing his title.

Xia Ningru looked around with a smile on her lips, and finally her eyes fell on the big and small bodies.

He only said five words: "We are back!"

Then... Qiu Wandai almost felt that he was about to be overturned by the huge sound again, and the raging waves were scorching hot.

So brutal!

——As soon as Xia Ningru made a move, he knew there was something wrong!

"Triumph! Triumph! Triumph!"

Xia Ningru immediately walked to the place where the head of the thousand households and the officials at that time were beside them. Although this place was not far from Xia Qin, he ignored his youngest son without a trace of hesitation.

Xia Qin wanted to squeeze forward, but was stopped by Qiu Wandai.

Xia Xiaoqin looked at his brother in puzzlement, as if he didn't understand why he couldn't talk to his father yet.

"When Dad finishes talking with the head of the thousand households, he will naturally come to us. Let's not bother him. I don't care about this moment."

"Oh." The child who was still burning this time was very obedient without asking why.

He pulled Qiu Wandai's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Then after they all leave, shall we continue to play here?"

Qiu Wandai never thought that his younger brother would make such a strange request: "..."

"I want to play with sand." The child seemed very persistent.

Qiu Wandai really wanted to ask: Don't you want Xia Ningru?Or do you think he doesn't want you, so you don't want him either?

"What should I do if my father can't find us after talking to them?"

Xia Qin blinked his round eyes, turned around and said, "Someone will tell him."

Indeed, the position they are standing in is very open, and the city wall can be seen clearly just now. It should be said that whether it is a turret, a city wall, a crenel, or even a beacon tower in the distance, this position is undoubtedly the best attack point.Such a position is basically a cannon fodder position. As long as a cannonball is aimed at it, it will be blasted into scum in an instant.

Xia Xiaoqin actually knew this, the little guy is so perceptive, it's not easy to be fooled.

"Daddy will definitely come to see us." Xia Qin said with certainty.

"As long as they are willing to let us stay." Qiu Wandai let go.

Naturally, Ximen Chuuxue had no objection, so when the soldiers dispersed, the two big ones walked around the beach and piled up the sand, but they told them one thing when they left, and it was almost the end of the day. When the tide is high, they'd better get out of here before the high tide.

When the tide is high, the tide will submerge less than half of the beach. The height of the tide is variable, and at the highest point it can even submerge more than half of a person.

The sky was getting darker, the warm sun began to fade away, and the setting sun turned most of the sky into orange red, and there was also a burst of golden sparkling waves on the sea, and the turbulent waves began to rush towards the deeper part of the beach .

The sand here is very fine. There are almost no sharp gravels on the pale golden beach, only round pebbles. Occasionally, you can see whole white shells and small crabs coming up with the tide. The tide is not high at this time. , until Xia Qin's knees fell down.Xia Qin took off his cloth boots, rolled up his trouser legs and hem of his clothes, and ran like a lunatic on the beach, kicking the waves, having fun by himself.

Qiu Wandai and Ximen Chuuxue found a place not far away to sit side by side. The soft sand collapsed, making it a bit unsteady to sit on. This place was not impacted by the swell, and it was soft and dry and comfortable to sit on.

The fine sand rubbed against the soles of the feet, and it didn't stick to it, leaving only a layer of sand like white powder, which fell down after a little pat.

Xia Qin got a bunch of pebbles from nowhere, and wanted to pull his brother up to play, but Qiu Wandai got half of his butt stuck in the sand, and didn't want to move his position at all. Xia Qin looked at Ximen Chuuxue, and suddenly turned to He ran to the other side and tilted his head to look at the motionless man.

Qiu Wandai looked over, Xia Xiaoqin was very playful, and was unhappy without a playmate, so he went to invite brother Ximen very unwillingly.

From Qiu Wandai's point of view, the probability that Ximen Chuuxue would not agree is 90.00% at [-]%, but Lord Sword God stood up after hearing Xia's invitation.

Qiu Wandai: "=口=!"
