Tang Yue quickly prepared everything, and Gu Yanxi had already brought all the fishermen onto their boat. When Tang Yue came out, she faced the fishermen face to face.
Their boat was quite high up, so the fishermen below didn't see such a small child on board. The young man nodded to Tang Yue in a friendly gesture. Tang Yue returned the gesture and gave Gu Yanxi a look.
Gu Yanxi understood immediately and followed Tang Yue to the side. "What's wrong?"
"I'm leaving now. I reckon someone will come to meet me soon, and the rest of the way will be safe."
Gu Yanxi straightened his expression. "You're still going to Japan?"
Tang Yue nodded. Gu Yanxi wanted to ask something, but he didn't. Their relationship wasn't at the point where he could pry into each other's private lives. "Could you wait for me so we can go together?"
Tang Yue shook her head. "I don't need protection. You can apply to your superiors to change your mission. Even if you come with me, you won't be able to keep up."
Although Gu Yanxi understood that Tang Yue was right, he still felt a bit frustrated. He had trained for so many years, yet he couldn't even compare to a little girl. "I have never failed a mission."
Tang Yue shrugged indifferently, "Do as you please, but I have important things to do and won't accommodate your pace."
Gu Yanxi...
He knew he couldn't stop Tang Yue's actions, so he could only nod. "Let's suggest a meeting place."
Tang Yue thought for a moment, "I need to go to Hegequan first, and then go to Xijing. If you come quickly, let's meet in Xijing."
Gu Yanxi learned of Tang Yue's abilities and recalled the bizarre thefts that had occurred in various places in Japan, starting from the short-lived one. He suspected that the young girl in front of him was responsible for them. However, he had no evidence.
Gu Yanxi laughed, "Do you think you can go directly from Hegequan to Xijing? I think a lot of interesting things will happen along the way."
Tang Yue looked up at Gu Yanxi; that damned height was definitely intimidating. "You're right, I'm not sure exactly where. But after I go to Hegequan, my next destination is Xijing. Why don't you travel around along the way?"
Gu Yanxi looked down at Tang Yue's nonchalant words, and he really wanted to rub his forehead. Just one sentence from her, and he had to run himself ragged!
"How was it?" Tang Yue asked, her face full of curiosity.
Gu Yanxi finally couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his forehead. He then remembered another question, "How are you going to get back? This ship..."
"There are small boats below the ship, so don't worry." As she spoke, Tang Yue handed Gu Yanxi a small bundle. "Our battalion commander should be going to Zhougang. Please give this to him when you see him."
Gu Yanxi took it. "Is there anything you need to tell him?"
Tang Yue shook her head. "They're all inside. Once he gets them, he'll know."
Gu Yanxi took it, and Tang Yue looked at the Chinese people on the deck. They were eagerly asking the fishermen about the changes in China in recent years. The fishermen were initially wary, but after hearing about their experiences, they were filled with sympathy for them.
After that, the two sides began to have a friendly exchange. The fishermen wanted to answer all their questions without missing a single detail, of course, only those questions they themselves knew the answers to. They couldn't answer questions they didn't know.
"I won't go over there, I'll just walk this way."
Gu Yanxi sighed; he couldn't keep him here at all. Suddenly, he remembered something. "Wait!" he said, pointing to the fishing boats at sea. "These fishing boats are all damaged. Without you, they can't be brought back at all."
Tang Yue chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, as long as there's nothing wrong with your boat, you can tow all the fishing boats to the shore directly."
Gu Yanxi...
Watching Tang Yue sail away in a small wooden boat from the pirate island, Gu Yanxi had no idea what he was thinking. Could such a small boat really cross the ocean to Japan?
Would you consider this a world record?
Before he could think for long, he was surrounded by Chinese people.
Chang Yin gathered his men and headed towards the port. This mission wasn't too dangerous; they only needed two warships to go out together. Chang Yin took Tang Shengkai with him.
Hearing that their daughter was coming home, Tang Shengkai's family was overjoyed. Since only Tang Shengkai and Tang Dong in the family had broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, the family decided that Tang Shengkai would take Tang Dong with him to pick up their daughter and bring her home.
When Lin Cuicui heard that her daughter was coming back, tears streamed down her face. She had never been separated from her daughter for so long before, and now she felt like something was missing from her heart every day.
Now that she heard her daughter was coming home, she immediately felt a change in spirit, and her milk supply seemed to increase. Little Xixi danced happily in her arms. Lin Cuicui, who was so strong, almost couldn't hold her.
"You little rascal, what's wrong? You're happy because you know your sister is coming back?"
"Your sister has really had a tough time. You mustn't make trouble for her after she comes back!"
While Lin Cuicui was chatting with the child in her arms, Chang Yin was frowning.
"Squad Leader Tang!"
That's right, Tang Shengkai was promoted to squad leader after returning from the last mission. Given his merits last time, his position shouldn't be so low. However, in the South Island Corps, every position is filled, and unless there's a transfer from above, no matter how many merits you accumulate, your rank can be promoted, but your position is very difficult to advance.
"Commander Chang, I know this isn't in accordance with the rules, but Dongzi really wants to come with me to pick up my daughter. Hehe, could you please make an exception?"
