Pampering the sea

"Where did you send her?"

Xin Yue stepped on the soft beach with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked, "It's naturally where she wants to go."

"Where does she want to go?" Yan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Where is Chu Zhiling?"

"Otherwise." The strong wind rolled up the hem of Xin Yue's clothes, and her delicate eyebrows were blurred in the backlight.

"Does she prefer Chu Zhiling?"

"According to my guess," Xin Yue tilted his head somewhat like a child, and seemed to think for a while before saying, "It should be."

"Can you tolerate Chu Zhiling being with her?" Yan Zhan looked at her and was silent for a while before speaking, his eyes seemed a little focused.

Xin Yue was silent for about ten seconds before slowly opening his mouth: "Whatever."

His eyes were slightly closed, his face was lazy and pale.

"Who is she to you?" Yan Zhan changed the subject.

"She said she was my sister." Xin Yue said plainly.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Why, didn't you ask?"

"She didn't plan to tell me, so I didn't ask." Xin Yue said softly.

"You—" Yan Zhan froze for a moment, shaking his head in amused but helpless way.

"She told me that she wanted to go back to Chu Zhiling." Xin Yue looked at him solemnly, as if he didn't like his mocking smile.Seriously, he looked a little innocent and wronged.

"What if I ask, and she doesn't tell me anything, what should I do?" She muttered softly, scratching her head, "It will be very embarrassing."

"Okay." Yan Zhan lowered his smile and patted Xin Yue's shoulder, "You are right to worry, I shouldn't laugh."

After speaking, he walked forward, took two steps, his shoulders shook, and his steps slowed down.

"Yan Zhan, you're still laughing!" Xin Yue ran up in three steps, slapped Yan Zhan on the shoulder heavily, and said viciously, "Stop laughing."

Yan Zhan still smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, handsome and bright.

"What's so funny about what I said?" Xin Yue frowned suspiciously and muttered softly.

There is nothing funny about what is said.He laughed because he discovered that this elegant and wise woman was actually an idiot and fragile.

He is not afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy with swords and seas of swords, he can strategize and is not afraid of frost and cold, but he is afraid to ask a few words, even if that person is his twin sister who should ask for warmth.And in the middle, there is still a thick fog of mountains and rivers.

There is no excitement, no heartiness, and there may not even be a simple handshake and ordinary greetings when relatives reunite.

She is not such a cold woman, her pride also comes from her timidity.

"Francis machine ready!"

"Rocketer in position, ready to shoot!"

"The warships line up in a V shape, half sail, and slow down!"

The sea was full of flames, the artillery fire was deafening, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. Some soldiers were choked to tears, but they still persisted, pulling the cannon boxes, filling the cannonballs, and some bullets flew from the enemy ships. Come over, hit the boat with a bang, and in an instant, a bloody smell filled the air.

This is a brutal battle.

This is a fierce battle.This war started a month ago and has been fought intermittently until now. The reinforcements had the momentum of not hitting the south wall and not turning back, but the rulers of the Ming Dynasty and some timid civil servants began to get scared. The emperor personally ordered to withdraw the reinforcements to the southeast coast half a month ago in order to cede territory. Compensation request and negotiation.

It's not that I don't know the unwillingness and helplessness in Zhu Yan's heart. Now the situation is in dire straits, and the northern golden soldiers have repeatedly knocked at the gate. This time, they are even more direct. Zhu Yan lacks mental strength. In the fight against it, give up the ocean that is not considered very important.

Yes, looking at the feudal dynasties of the Chinese nation, the concept of the ocean in the past dynasties is basically weak, but history can be a lesson, that is, the ocean that the rulers and most important ministers chose to ignore. The smoke of an Opium War opened a leap forward in the loss of power and humiliation of the country. In the future, France, Japan and other countries will follow one after another on the ocean, raising their sails and firing giant cannons. Since then, the huge and weak Chinese power has been The sea of ​​flames of suffering is full of ups and downs.

"Yan Zhan."

Xin Yue raised her head and looked up at the distance where the flames lit up the sky. Her face was blurred and her eyes were slightly squinted, but they were surprisingly bright.

"What?" Yan Zhan frowned and looked at Xin Yue while giving orders to his subordinates.

"Yan Zhan." Xin Yue turned to face him, her voice was extremely deep and soft amidst the deafening sound of gunfire.

Clusters of flames accompanied by bows and arrows traced across the sky, buzzing like locusts, the air could smell the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and the smell of burning corpses, people's faces were black and white, Like a clown in a juggling troupe, even the coach is not immune.

With a bang, a stray bullet landed at Xin Yue's feet, and a huge spark burst out. Fortunately, the deck of the ship was very strong, so it would not blow out a hole.

She took two steps back and said calmly, "My name is Xin Yue."

Yan Zhan froze for a moment, frowned and said, "I know."

"I come from the distant 21st century, which is more than 400 years after this era. It is a completely different place from here. The order there is better than here, and there are wars there, but basically high-tech warfare. Flying in the sky, in the sea There are subterraneans everywhere, don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding you, I was a deputy chief of staff there, with a high lord, which is actually similar to the current position of admiral, I came to this time and space by accident , although many things are not satisfactory, but I am very glad to meet like-minded you and fight with you."

After a long time, it was not until a cannon sounded like thunder that Yan Zhan on the observation deck came back to his senses, and stared at the expressionless woman in front of him with incredible eyes.

After all, he is that wise man, even if things are unthinkable, he can calm down, and asked tentatively: "Even if it is true, why did you bring it up at this time, could it be that—" His pupils shrank suddenly.

"You think too much." Xin Yue reached out and patted Yan Zhan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I never thought that I would die."

"But--"

"I just thought maybe I could go back, because after all—"

"what?"

Yan Zhan's attention was focused on the answer to her question, when suddenly the woman leaned forward, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a large area of ​​fire suddenly appeared in her dark eyes, making her eyes scorching red.

The next moment, Yan Zhan's world was completely black.

"Because, after all, that's how I died once—in a fight with pirates, with the ship."
