People are full of pirates

Chapter 179 Nuoxia's Surprise

"There are more and more familiar event nodes."

Nuo Xia rolled up the newspaper, glanced at the bell tower where the New Year's bell had just rang last night, and murmured quietly, "The great era is turbulent, and the sea and the calendar wait for no one. There is an inexplicable sense of urgency, and we must continue to work harder. "

However, the position of general is still a little far away for the time being.

Well, let's set a small goal first, to be a lieutenant general within two years.

Back in the long-lost office, Nuo Xia planned to clock in and sit for a while, deal with a few business affairs casually, and then slipped to the training ground.

After all, as the deputy base chief, the appearance must be done after all.

As a result, at this time, the adjutant knocked on the door and respectfully delivered two letters.

Nuo Xia glanced at it, one was from Xi Ya, and one was a little surprised that it came from Huang Yuan.

"..."

What did this wretched uncle want to do when he sent the letter? He was a little guilty, so he opened Huang Yuan's letter first.

I miss you so much, Nuo Xia.

At the beginning of the letter, such a sentence came to my face.

"?"

Nuo Xia turned the letter over in a daze, and after confirming that this was indeed written by Huang Yuan, not Shiya's, the corners of her eyes twitched.

The following style of writing continued the taste of the first sentence, and there was a sense of grievance between the lines.

Huang Yuan is like a lonely empty-nest old man, pouring out his thoughts on Nuo Xia sadly, blaming him for not fulfilling his promise, and coming under him to help share the responsibilities. How hard it is...

Nuo Xia had a chill, almost pinching her nose, and then reluctantly read on.

Fortunately, after complaining a few words later, Huang Yuan finally became serious and mentioned the real reason why he sent this letter.

The letter stated that this world meeting, since it was the first meeting after the opening of the Great Pirate Era, had many topics and was extraordinarily grand.

Many kings who have not attended the meeting in the past few times will personally lead a large number of envoys to leave this time.

As a result, the guards in the headquarters became tense all of a sudden, and had to be transferred from the generals below.

He, Polusalino, was no exception. He was ordered by the headquarters to leave a few days later to the Kingdom of Belia in the West Sea, pick up the king of the country and his party, and head to the Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Then Huang Yuan thought about pigeons, and remembered that Nuo Xia was in Xihai, so he came to ask him if he had received an escort mission.

If it is possible, can you also bring the Belial royal family along, saving him from running all the way to lie down...

"The relationship has been paved for so long, so why should it be here?"

Nuo Xia curled her lips, and after thinking for a while, she took out the pen from the pen holder, and began to write a reply.

The content of the letter is also very simple.

The main idea is to escort this kind of thing, the water is too deep, he is just a [-]-year-old major general, he can't handle it at all, so the headquarters didn't send a mission, even if he wanted to help Uncle Huang by the way, there was nothing he could do.

After drying the ink marks, Nuo Xia sealed the envelope and handed it to the adjutant to post it immediately.

Then, he opened Shia's letter again.

Shia's letter came, which he had expected a long time ago, because a few days ago, the two had congratulated each other on the phone for the New Year.

In the microphone, the girl confided her attachment to him, and then said that she had prepared some New Year's gifts and would send them along with the letter, hoping that Nuo Xia would bring them with her.

This would at least make her feel that she was not too far away from him.

"What kind of gift will it be..."

Nuo Xia pinched the envelope, the inside was bulging, and when he poured it out, he found three items.

The first item is a necklace with bright pearls. The craftsman used extremely superb techniques to engrave the words "King Of Lort" inside.

"The King of Lot..."

Nuo Xia was slightly taken aback. He had heard from Shiya that this necklace was only eligible to be inherited by successive kings of the Lot Kingdom. At the beginning, the cost alone was more than [-] million Baileys. It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and now it is even more valuable. Liancheng.

What was this girl thinking, and she was not afraid of losing it on the road, so she just stuffed it into an envelope and mailed it to herself?
"Bullshit."

He frowned slightly, looking at the necklace in his hand.

It is estimated that the old king of the Lot Kingdom had just passed on the necklace to Shia solemnly on his front foot, and was gifted to him by the girl on his back foot, without considering the meaning behind this necklace at all.

Nuo Xia shook her head slightly.

When we meet later, return this necklace to Shia. This is a national treasure of the Lot Kingdom, and he can't afford it.

Carefully putting away the necklace, Nuo Xia turned his attention to the second gift.

Compared with the luxurious and bright necklace, this gift is much more unpretentious, it is just a bracelet made of blue cloth strips.

Nuo Xia remembered that Shi Ya mentioned on the phone that she made a protective bracelet with her own hands. The letters engraved on it are the ancient words of the Kingdom of Lot, which means to pray for peace.

It seems that the one in front of me didn't run away.

"This one can be worn..."

Nuo Xia smiled, and put the blue bracelet on the front of her right arm. It was just the right size, soft to the touch, and comfortable to wear, but...

Does this fabric look familiar?

He rubbed it with his left hand for a while with a strange expression on his face, then lowered his head and sniffed lightly, a faint fragrance like an orchid in an empty valley rushed to his face.

Well, it can't be wrong, in my memory, Shia's peak guard clothes have this smell...

Gan!
So, isn't this the shoulder strap!

Three black lines appeared on Nuo Xia's forehead.

He put his hands on his forehead and sighed helplessly. Sure enough, he was still too naive. With the character and style of that girl Shiya, how could there be normal things in the gifts sent from thousands of miles away!

It must be inappropriate to wear it. Nuo Xia shook his head and took off the blue bracelet, carefully stored it together with the necklace, and turned his attention to the third gift.

It was a thick notebook.

Some are old, but the corners have not been rolled up, and it can be seen that they have been properly preserved.

"With a mere notebook, there is no way to make any fools."

Nuo Xia muttered, opened the book, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help being stunned, "This is... a diary?"

"The 323rd day of falling in love with Nuo Xia, sunny."

"Everyone thought he was standing on the second floor because he was blowing the sea breeze. Only I knew that he was looking for Commodore Gion again, and I was a little angry."

"There was a news bird passing by in the sky. It made a loud noise, and it became even more angry. It wanted to snatch all the newspapers in the cloth pocket, no matter how much it begged, it would not return it."

"I didn't understand anything back then, and confessed rashly, it really is the most stupid thing, I should ask someone with experience first.

"Also, why wasn't I the one who touched that beaver cat together that night?"

"The 345th day of falling in love with Nuo Xia, Xiao Yu."

"Nuo Xia had a fight with that guy named Ghost Spider today, and he was injured. I feel so distressed. I want to help him apply medicine to heal his wounds, but I'm afraid he will dislike me..."

"How about trying to become Commodore Gion?"

"Uh, he probably won't find out..."

"The 351st day when I fell in love with Nuo Xia, it was cloudy. The third telescope was also discovered by Nuo Xia and confiscated. So sad.

"I hate eroticism."

…………

Over five hundred days and nights, from acquaintance to acquaintance, from secret love to establishment of relationship, tens of thousands of words, densely packed on paper, recording the girl's thoughts about him stroke by stroke.

The pain and sorrow when being ruthlessly rejected, the expectation after getting the imitation fruit, the short-term joy when practicing together, the reluctance and nostalgia when parting...

Nuo Xia flipped through the pages, her eyes gradually froze.

After reading the last page, he remained silent, put down the thick diary, and walked to the French window.

Through the flying snow and rime outside, I looked at the distant horizon.

The sky is blue, and the sea is also blue. Indistinctly, the blue-haired girl who only has herself in her eyes and regards him as the whole world seems to appear in front of her eyes with a smile.

I'm so sorry.

After a long time.

As if he had made up his mind, he turned around silently, tapped his knuckles, woke up the dozing phone bug at the desk, and dialed the number of the headquarters.

"Please pick up the Warring States General."

After a while, Warring States' surprised voice came from the microphone:
"Nuo Xia? Why, did something serious happen to Xihai? Why did you suddenly call the office?"

"No, I just feel that I'm too busy in Xihai, and I want to take the initiative to help the department with some troublesome things."

Nuo Xia said leisurely, "Mr. Zhan Guo, although I'm only a major general for the time being, if you leave it to me to escort the monarch of a country to Mary Joa, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"How many times have I said it, you don't need to be so self-effacing, kid."

Warring States' angry voice came:

"The reason why you are a major general is only because of your lack of qualifications. Everyone in this department knows that your strength, even if you are placed among the lieutenant generals, is enough to be in the forefront. Is it interesting to talk to this old man? ?”

"However, this time, you actually offered to undertake the escort mission, which I didn't expect. It's really gratifying..."

The Warring States on the other end of the microphone seemed to be flipping through the relevant documents, "Well, let me see, which countries in the West Sea have not been assigned to the escort team, it seems that there are indeed one or two left..."

"They're not worth my trip myself."

Nuo Xia chuckled, looked at the thick diary on the table, and said quietly:
"General, could you please help me to check, has there been any arrangements for the escorts in the Kingdom of Lot in the New World?"

-----

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

After the negotiation, Zhan Guo hung up the phone, with a smile on his face, his expression was obviously a little more relaxed than before.

Being able to take the initiative to stand up at such a critical moment and help the department relieve the pressure, sure enough, these old men and women did not misunderstand the brat.

"Nuo Xia's phone number?"

On the opposite side of the desk, a tall figure sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Warring States picked up the teacup and said with a smile:

"He will leave before the end of the month, go to the New World to pick up the royal family of the Kingdom of Lot, and go to Marie Gioia to participate in the World Conference. After calculating the distance, he should rest at your place, Sakaski."

"Is that so..."

The figure on the sofa was the commander of the G1 branch, Akainu, who had only come to the headquarters to participate in the meeting in the past few days. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly:
"That's not bad. I've always wanted to meet this little junior, but unfortunately every time I came to the headquarters, I missed it. I couldn't do it. Now I finally have a chance."

"I hear what you mean..." Zhan Guo looked strange, "Could it be that you still want to compete with him?"

"There is indeed some interest."

Akainu said calmly, "Almost everyone in the headquarters now believes that he is the best student since the establishment of the elite camp. I just want to see if he is worthy of this evaluation."

"It's up to you." Zhan Guo shook his head helplessly, "At that time, pay attention to the seriousness, after all, we are the same robe..."

Akainu was noncommittal, and nodded slightly.

----

Xihai, the first branch.

It was the end of another day of hard training. Nuo Xia had just taken a shower and was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, when a blu blu sound suddenly came from his coat pocket.

This is the miniature phone bug he carries with him. It is a private number, and not many people know about it.

Could it be that the call came from the Warring States Period, and there was a change in the escort?
Hasn't everything been negotiated? Nuo Xia frowned slightly, but connected the phone immediately.

What he didn't expect was that there was a somewhat eager young voice from the other end:
"Mr. Nuo Xia, Bako... Bako has just urgently mobilized a warship and is ready to go to sea!"

Penn?

Nuo Xia suddenly narrowed her eyes, and flashed coldly.

After being silent for about a month, did that guy finally move?
----

It was sunny after the snow, black sails fluttered, and a pirate ship was sailing in the boundless sea.

The banquet is being held, and the cheerful and scattered chorus echoes in the sea breeze.

"Yo ho ho ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho ho ~"

"We pirates split the waves~"

"The home is on the boat when you sleep on the waves~"

……

The drunken pirates hooked their shoulders, singing and laughing loudly on the deck.

From time to time, there was the sound of beer mugs colliding heavily.

corner.

Little Robin sat there with his knees hugged, staring blankly at the singing and dancing pirates.

The breath on his body was dead silent, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"Hey! Annie!"

A fat female pirate in her fifties came over suddenly, grabbed her drunkenly, and poured the large draft beer mug into Robin's mouth, grinning loudly:
"Since you've joined the gang, how can you be there alone, you have to have a drink to your heart's content!"

Cough, cough...

Robin, who was caught off guard by taking a big gulp of beer, was choked and coughed again and again.

She wanted to resist, but her little strength was not enough in front of the fat female pirate, and she was forced to drink a large glass of draft beer in the end.

When she was thrown back to the ground again by the fat female pirate, her face was already flushed, and she couldn't even walk steadily.

"What a useless brat, hahahahaha, it's not enough to order wine like this!"

The female pirate laughed wildly for a while, poured herself another glass, drank it to her heart's content, hiccupped after drinking, and said drunkenly:
"However, today's wine seems to be strong enough. Even my mother and I feel drunk faster than usual..."

Boom!
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly tilted her body and fell to the deck.
