Zhuo Liuyun had already left, but Yu Wendao was still standing in the imperial study, looking at the dark night outside.
He also had a piece of information in his sleeve pocket.
This information did not come from Xiyu Tower, but from the ant colony!
This is a piece of information that cannot be told to anyone, because it only contains one sentence: Empress Dowager Shang's heart is with Wu Dalang!
This sentence was like a sword stabbing into Yu Wendao's chest, making him unable to stop and he had no idea how to deal with or face it.
Of course he had doubted this information and thought it was a message deliberately given to him by the ant colony to provoke him.
But just last night, he found out that the information was true!
Last night, in the back garden of Dieyi Palace, my father was already fast asleep, but my mother came out.
Right in Xiuchun Pavilion, he saw Wu Dalang clearly through a telescope!
He didn't know what they talked about, but he clearly saw Wu Dalang feeding his mother two things that looked like grapes, and his mother actually ate them with her mouth.
The two stayed in Xiuchun Pavilion for a full stick of incense. Then Wu Dalang flew away, and the Queen Mother returned to Dieyi Palace, looking very happy.
My father knew nothing about this.
Yu Wendao had heard a thing or two about what his fathers had done in Jinling. Now it seemed that despite the passing of time, they had not forgotten each other.
If it were someone else, Yu Wendao would think that this was a sign of loyalty to a past relationship, but when it came to his own mother... the only feeling he had was anger and deep disappointment.
You are the empress dowager. Isn't it good to be a empress dowager peacefully?
How can I face you and my father?
This Wu Dalang... Yu Wendao gnashed his teeth, a murderous glint in his eyes, "Damn you old thief! I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
He exhaled twice, calmed himself down, and then left the imperial study.
Rushed into Wu Dynasty and cut Wu Dalang into pieces!
At this moment, Yu Wendao strengthened his determination to attack the Wu Dynasty.
…
…
Wu Dynasty, Jiangcheng Shipyard.
Fu Xiaoguan, Jia Nanxing, Bei Wangchuan and Bai Yulian stood on the river bank. He looked at the rolling waters of the Yangtze River and thought of Liu Jin again.
It has been almost ten months since the 'Liu Jin' set sail!
So far, no news has been received, not even from the eldest brother, the second brother, and the eighth brother.
This made him extremely uneasy. He was well aware of the dangers at sea, not to mention that they were exploring an unknown route.
These days, Third Senior Sister Su Rou and Su Su live together, and he doesn't dare to go to Su Su's palace, for fear of seeing Third Senior Sister's inquiring eyes.
I'm still too impatient!
This matter should be put off until the dreadnought-class battleships are equipped with steam turbines and a real fleet is formed, which will be safer.
Today, the Dreadnought-class experimental ship will return to the Jiangcheng Shipyard. Fu Xiaoguan's plan is to restock the experimental ship with coal, ammunition and other supplies before setting sail again. He wants to board the ship and drive the experimental ship to the near sea to experience it for himself.
If there are no problems, the next step will be to replace all five Dreadnought-class battleships with steam turbines and deliver them to the navy.
All crew members will take three to four months to familiarize themselves with the new operating mode, and the navy will also board the ship for the first time.
The Wu Dynasty's Age of Exploration will officially begin!
There was a light fog on the river surface in the early morning, and the river breeze brought a little chill.
Fu Xiaoguan squinted his eyes and continued to stare at the river. Bai Yulian behind him was looking at his back, feeling quite emotional.
In the spring of the eighth year of the Xuanli period, this small landlord who had a bad reputation in Linjiang came to Xishan Villa for the first time.
On the second day after he came to Xishan Villa, he actually got up early for a morning run. In the martial arts field of Xishan Villa, Bai Yulian was practicing with a sword.
When the knife chopped down, Fu Xiaoguan didn't even frown.
Then the two had a brief conversation, and the guy used alcohol to get himself by his side.
How long has it been since you last drank?
Ever since I married Wen Ruoxi, I haven't drunk alcohol anymore.
It's been almost six years since I followed this kid.
I saw him walk from Linjiang to Jinling, to Qinling Mountains, to Wofeng Road, to the once barren country, and to the present Wu Dynasty.
And I trained the first Divine Sword Army for him in Xishan, and led the Divine Sword Army to suppress bandits in Pingling Mountain and witnessed the powerful combat effectiveness of this army.
He then came to the Wu Dynasty and trained the Second Divine Sword Army.
He led the Second Divine Sword Army to destroy the Huang Kingdom, and was then brought to the Wu Dynasty by this guy to train the Wu Dynasty's first navy and the first Marine Corps.
Now, in less than two years, the navy will have its own warships and will become a truly unique branch of the military.
According to Fu Xiaoguan's plan, the navy will step down around the beginning of next year, and may face its first battle.
He said that there was a vast land on the other side of the ocean, and there was a high possibility of an advanced civilization, so the navy's training could not be relaxed at all, because he said that if a fleet came from the other side of the ocean, it would definitely be very powerful.
How powerful will it be?
Bai Yulian couldn't imagine it, but seeing how much importance Fu Xiaoguan attached to this dreadnought-class battleship, she was probably thinking about it in order to deal with that unknown powerful opponent.
Bai Yulian suddenly stopped imagining in his mind and looked up at the river. On the river, a huge ship broke through the mist and was slowly approaching.
Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said, "Xiaobai, when we set sail tomorrow, let's go to the offshore area and fire a few shots at him."
But then Fu Xiaoguan frowned. He did not see the billowing black smoke emitted when the steam engine burned!
Forget about the black smoke, there was no smoke at all from that battleship.
Fu Xiaoguan's heart tightened, and then he was overjoyed: "It's the 'Liu Jin'! The 'Liu Jin' has returned!"
Sure enough, three supply ships appeared behind the "Liu Jin", and at this moment the "Liu Jin" had blown a whistle and sent a flag signal to the dock - it was about to enter the port!
Fu Xiaoguan smiled brightly at this time. No matter what, the return of the "Liu Jin" was great news. Now he could give an explanation to his third senior sister.
The shipyard was busy after seeing the flag signal from the 'Liu Jin'. There were four warships moored in the shipyard!
On the 'Liu Jin', Liu Jin stood on the watchtower on the third deck and had already raised his telescope.
He was very excited. He had been away from his homeland for more than nine months and had experienced several disasters at sea. In the end, he survived and returned alive without even a hair missing.
He completed the task assigned to him by the emperor. He brought back a nautical chart to the Bering Strait, countless gold, silver, jewelry, and the emperor's favorite unknown seeds.
The trip ended successfully, and he wanted to give His Majesty a big surprise, but soon the expression on his face became extremely wonderful - he saw His Majesty through the telescope!
Your Majesty is truly a god!
He actually greeted his return at the dock!
How did Your Majesty know that you would arrive at the dock today?
I think Your Majesty thinks about me day and night, or perhaps Your Majesty has been looking forward to it for many days.
"Your Majesty! Your servant is back!"
