Chapter 176 farewell

After Fu Liye left, Li Hai sat next to Li Mingxun with his fish basket again. After a while, the fish did not take the bait, so he asked, "Who was that person just now."

"A slut." Li Mingxun said casually.

Li Hai smiled and said, "Don't beat me, haha, don't tell me if you don't tell me. Why bother to lie to others......"

"Your son is in charge of the Security Bureau now. If you are worried, ask him to go." Li Mingxun played a rogue in front of his godson again.

Li Hai didn't say anything. The reason he asked this was for his son. The Security Bureau knew that King Yu had contacted Fu Liye, and that this person was brought by King Rong Li Su from overseas. He also knew that Fu Liye was the guy who set up a commune in North America. However, this matter seemed to be the secret between the emperor, the Supreme Emperor and the King Yu, and the three of them could not reach an agreement. Li Zhaorui was in charge of the Security Bureau and was upset, so he asked his father to inquire.

Seeing that Li Mingxun was unwilling to say it, Li Hai didn't ask much. Anyway, he was retired now, and it was time to enjoy the happiness.

"Ahae, what do you think of the girl Zhao Ying brought?" Li Mingxun asked.

"Beautiful!" Li Hai gave a very simple evaluation, then changed his tone and said, "Old man, aren't you just care about the children's affairs? Why are you worried about Zhao Ying coming again?"

"I can't help it." Li Mingxun shrugged, and was also helpless.

"Life is less than a hundred years old, so I always worry about a thousand years. You have let go of the big things in the empire. Do you still care about the little things of the children?" Li Hai said half-heartedly and half-jokingly.

Li Mingxun nodded: "No matter what, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Although Jundu is not in China, there are still second and third brothers, so I am so happy to be leisurely."

Let’s talk about Li Zhaoheng and Bai Ge taking a car down the mountain together and went directly to the hotel where Fu Liye lives. He pushed open the door but saw no one. Li Zhaoheng sighed: “Hurry up, it’s still one step late. Let’s go to the dock at a speed.”

The two went to the dock again. The attendant who arrived here earlier did not notice Fu Liye's figure. Li Zhaoying asked: "Did you not see it?"

"No, I arrived, I only drove one boat here. I not only guarded the place where I boarded the boat and checked it." The attendant gave a very affirmative answer.

Bai Ge smiled and said, "Li Ying, how are you sure that Mr. Fu left like this? Maybe he didn't leave at all."

"I haven't left, how do you make sure?" Li Zhaoying asked.

Bai Ge said: "The steam power competition is being held here. This is one of the rare grand events in the empire. Even the national sports meet is not as lively as this. It is hard to get a ticket. I became a volunteer just to watch this fun."

"Mr. Fu is so adult, but he still likes to watch the fun?" Li Zhaoying couldn't believe it.

"It's fine if it's other lively. This is a steam power competition. There are big machinery one by one. My father can sit at the dock and watch those steam cranes and steam boats all day long. Don't men like this? Unless Mr. Fu has been there for many years, he often sees these big machinery." Bai Ge explained confidently.

"If that's the case, why did he check out?" Li Zhaoying asked.

Bai Ge said: "It must be because the hotel is too expensive, so you can ask for four silver dollars in one night. Mr. Fu doesn't look like a rich man no matter how he looks."

Li Zhaoying was still hesitating, and the attendant walked to him and whispered: "Your Highness, Miss Bai said it is possible. Mr. Fu's expenses are all in charge of Prince Yu's Mansion. Because I want to meet the Supreme Emperor today, the hotel will be decided until today."

Li Zhaoying thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he ordered the attendant and said, "You can watch here yourself and send someone to various hotels to inquire..."

"How could it be possible for them to find Mr. Fu?" Bai Ge patted Li Zhaoying's shoulder and said, "We have more than a thousand volunteers in Jeju. Please come forward and ensure that we can find it today."

Li Zhaoying slapped his forehead. As Bai Ge said, because of the steam power competition, almost all the grassroots services on Jeju Island depend on volunteer organizations, so it is perfect for them to find people.

However, Li Zhaoying still arranged for people from the attendant's room to look for it. After all, due to security reasons, the power of the Security Bureau in Jeju should not be underestimated, let alone the power of the official position can be used.

But as Bai Ge said, the volunteer organization finally found Fu Liye first. As Bai Ge expected, Fu Liye was preparing to watch the complete steam power competition before preparing for the next plan, but he really didn't have much money. After hearing that the hotel designated by Prince Yu's Mansion was about to expire today, Fu Liye directly checked out and then found a temporary residence, which was to rent a tent in a small hotel and settled it on the public grass. In fact, many Guanzhong who came to watch the competition, especially those who did not have particularly good family conditions, did this.

Li Zhaoying gave Fu Liye the gift book given by Li Mingxun to Fu Liye, and emphasized that Jeju Island is now in a chaotic state, and the traffic situation is also complicated due to the gathering of tourists. When Fu Liye leaves, he can arrange to leave the island.

"Li Wang, we have helped you so much, haven't you said how to repay us yet?"

"Yes, yes, Bai Ge has been with you all day long. We have done all her life. You two have gone to have sex with you, and we are tired of becoming grandsons."

After settling down on Fu Liye, Li Zhaoying was surrounded by a group of volunteers. These girls, who were originally thin-skinned, made Li Zhaoying blush directly. Bai Ge was generous and open, just like nothing happened.

"Let's do it, the game will be over the day after tomorrow. I'll help you get a few tickets to the beachfront, and let me go."

"Tsk... Bai Ge also yelled that your family is very powerful in Jeju, and he is just fooling us like this. After the competition, the beachfront will naturally be idle, and we can get it ourselves." Someone immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Li Zhaoying didn't want to disclose his identity. He knew that these classmates were all curious people. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Let's do this, I can borrow a camera from my uncle, and how will I take photos for everyone at that time?"

"Really, your family has a camera? That's a rare thing. I just saw it in the newspaper saying there is such a thing."

"Have you ever played it? I heard that the pictures taken are very real, is it true?"

Seeing that these people were so curious, Li Zhaoying realized that he had really escaped the disaster and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shenjing Wharf.

"Everyone has it, turn right!" The heroic naval officer thought of the port side guard and issued a loud order: "Salute to Your Highness, King Rong."

The long horn merged with the sea breeze. The two rows of sailors put their rifles on their shoulders in unblinking eyes at Li Su in a big dress.

"Thank you all." Li Su described the tough and responded to the navy soldiers.

"Long live the empire!"

The guard of honor and all the sailors made deafening shouts.

This is the Navy's farewell ceremony. When Li Su returns to Atlantic City, North America, there is also a fleet stationed in Atlantic City. This fleet has only two cruisers for the time being, and the remaining warships will join the sequence in Penang. However, the fleet is not small in size. In addition to supply ships and coal transport ships, there are four large battleships.

If you look at it suddenly, it seems that this is the sea overlord ten years ago, a three-deck battleship, but if you look closely, you will see that in addition to the three main masts, there are two chimneys on the ship, which are majestic like a castle. These are four hybrid battleships, which are seventy meters long and have a width of more than fifteen meters without paddle wheels, and the full load displacement exceeds 5,000 tons. Two of them were ordered by the Portuguese Navy, and two belong to the Ottoman Empire.

Not to mention the thirty-three years of the empire, even a few years ago, when the French Navy ordered naval ships from the empire, they knew that the three-deck battleships had lagged behind the times. In addition to the several improved existing equipment, all newly built warships cut off the two decks and replaced them with ninety-pound or even heavier artillery.

However, Portugal and the Ottoman countries were different. The Ottoman Empire's naval concept was very backward. Now, in addition to hiding in the Eastern Mediterranean, even in the Black Sea, it was only the Tsarist Russian navy as its main imaginary enemy. It was equipped with steam power and battleships mainly made of short and heavy artillery were enough. Because the empire used stock materials and the merchant ship version of steam power, the price was relatively low.

The Portugal side is even more interesting. The two battleships were not used as weapons at all, but were used as etiquette ships. Most of the cost was spent on the modification of the hull. Various wood carvings and paintings filled the warships. Even the artillery was expensive bronze cannons of all colors. One of them was named Pedro II, which was also the flagship of Li Su's trip to the west this time.

The ceremony went smoothly, with only a small number of foreigners on the ship, most of the sailors and commanders were Imperial Navy, some of which would go to Portugal and Ottoman to serve as instructors.

After the ceremony, Li Su visited various cabins of the USS Pedro II and had a brief conversation with the crew and foreign naval representatives. When he returned to the deck, the big guy still had no intention of starting.

The two large chimneys with black and yellow on the top are just steaming little by little, making them so thin that they can't see clearly that it makes people anxious. It took a long time to gradually turn into coal smoke, intermittently, just like the smoke rings that stand out from smokers.

The paddle wheel used for this ship looks more majestic and domineering because of this, was specially required by Portugal. When the coal soot was not yet warm, the paddle wheel had already creaked and then slowly turned. The wet webbed boards smashed the water surface and sank into the water. In the end, the port sent a steam-powered tugboat, dragging these large ships and sending them out of the port. Even during the day, the headlights still lit up on the lighthouse, and the focused light emitted a light to send blessings to the fleet that was about to expedition, followed by the salute from the shore defense fort.

It was at this time that a small traffic boat leaned on the Pedro II. Li Su came to the side of the boat and saw Li Zhaoyan, whose hair was wet by the sea breeze. There were many piles of books wrapped in oil paper bags beside him. On it were people wearing hats, and took off their hats. Li Su saw clearly that face, it was Fu Liye.

"Brother, it was my third uncle who sent me here. Mr. Fu would come to Atlantic City on your boat. Please take care of me." Li Zhaoying said.

Li Su smiled and said, "So that's the case, Mr. Fu, you took my boat back to China. I'll do it all the way to the end. I'll send the Buddha to the West and I'll send you back."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness." Fu Liye boarded the boat and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Zhaoying also went up the deck from the rope ladder, took out the slightly wet official document from his arms and said, "In addition, the fleet will stop in Taipei, pick up a Japanese envoy sent to Penang, and send it to Penang. This is the official document of the cabinet."

"Okay, I already know. Zhao Wang, I am not in Beijing, please help my third uncle in the future." Li Su clasped his fists and solemnly requested.

"I should do my best." Li Zhaoying said with a smile.

Seeing Fu Liye's salute being pulled onto the deck from the traffic boat, Li Zhaoying asked: "Brother, where does Mr. Fu live?"

"I'll arrange for him to live in the VIP room." Li Su said.

Fu Liye shook his head repeatedly: "No, Your Highness, don't be so troublesome. This is a naval ship, and I don't want to live in a VIP room."

Li Su laughed and immediately understood Fu Liye's thoughts. Fu Liye has no requirements for life, it is OK to be higher or lower, but he has a hobby, which is that he likes to deal with people, and all walks of life are OK. When Li Su returned to China, Fu Liye became familiar with the sailors on the boat.

But naval ships are different from civilian ships. The navy is clearly divided and the class is clear. If Fu Liye lives in the area where the VIP lives, he will be completely isolated from the sailors and helpers on the ship. This means that he will become very bored when he goes west because Fu Liye doesn't like the so-called upper class.

"Okay, I'll find you a seat at the sailor leader." Li Su said.

After hearing this, Fu Liye nodded repeatedly, but he said, "But please help me find a safe and secure place for these things, especially this box, which must not be encountered by ordinary people, otherwise problems will easily arise."

"It's simple. There is a room empty. It's a room for the King of Portugal. The Portuguese have repeatedly told people that you must not let anyone other than the King live there, so your things can be placed inside. But what is in this box? Are there flammable and explosive things?" Li Su was also interested in the box.

Li Zhaoying said: "There is a camera inside, which was given to Mr. Fu by Uncle San. Mr. Fu is not very good at fiddling with him."

"Is that true? When Mr. Fu learns it, you must take a photo for me." Li Su said with a smile.

Seeing that Fu Liye's request was agreed, Li Zhaoying said goodbye and left.
