Chapter 718 Disembarkation

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

August is coming to an end soon and September is around the corner.

Xinglan Grand Canal.

As usual, this Grand Canal connecting the political and economic capital of Yunchui was bustling with ships.

"Look, look!" Someone suddenly shouted in surprise, "Our battleship!"

Others couldn't help but turn their heads and look in the direction of his finger.

Suddenly, two majestic warships appeared behind their passenger ship.

The huge warships moved forward one after another.

In the midday sun, the huge ram with a dark glow on the bow, the complicated catapults on the ship, and the numerous large and small heavy crossbows with bared fangs and claws were dazzling and frightening.

"It's so big, it should be a combat battalion level, right?" someone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right." Someone who has traveled extensively and has seen a lot said, "These are indeed two battalion-class battleships."

And judging from the name of the ship, it seems to belong to Zhennan Pass!

Of course, he didn't say this out loud.

“Battle camp level?” Someone else subconsciously calculated the days. “Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. The new emperor will soon ascend the throne. Two warships will appear in the Grand Canal…”

They must be escorting some important person to Beijing.

However, the passengers next to them were all ordinary people and were not very well-informed.

After they whispered to each other, they all shook their heads and said, "I don't know."

cough.

Someone coughed softly.

"Earlier this year, Prince Ning was crowned king, and a war battalion-class ship was brought in from the Xinglan Grand Canal, but there were only three of them."

After this person said this, the others quickly reacted, looked at each other and shut up.

----

Canglan.

Bang bang bang.

Captain Yi Yuande gently knocked on the center cabin door.

"General Yi?" Li Hezhu's maid's voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Wutong," Yi Yuande hesitated, "Please tell the Concubine that my warship will soon arrive at the canal gate outside Xingji City."

Under normal circumstances, no warships may pass through without the permission of Xingji City.

Otherwise it is considered rebellion.

"I don't know..."

However, before Li Hezhu inside could say anything, the bodyguards came running over with their guns blaring.

"General, we have received a signal from the front. The Patrol Battalion and Jinlin Guards have cleared the river near Xingji City. Our two ships can pass through the gate and dock at the West Pier."

  Call ~

"That's great." Yi Yuande breathed a sigh of relief.

Before boarding the ship in Guangxin County, Li Hezhu was already pregnant.

After traveling a long way on the ship, it’s almost time for me to give birth.

Yi Yuande was now extremely alert, keeping a close eye on the weather and conditions around the warship. He didn't even dare to increase or decrease the speed, for fear of endangering the future dragon sons and daughters inside.

If anything happens to Li Hezhu, he won't have enough heads to chop off even if he has several.

In the cabin, Li Hezhu struggled to sit up straight.

"Wutong, where did the princess get off the ship earlier this year?"

"My queen, be careful," Wutong was startled and hurried over to support his master.

She hesitated and said, "It seems that when the princess came to Xingji City a few years ago, she got off the boat not far ahead."

whee.

Li Hezhu smiled and rubbed her belly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"They didn't pass through the canal locks?"

Wutong subconsciously glanced at Li Hezhu's belly and didn't dare to give a direct answer.

"Your Majesty, the princess' situation is different from yours. Besides, Xingji City just sent a flag signal saying that we are allowed to dock at the West Pier. I guess His Highness is waiting for us at the pier."

Speaking of Ren Ning, a hint of tenderness flashed across Li Hezhu's face, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Go and tell General Yi that we will also get off the boat in front of the lock." "This..." Wutong hesitated, unwilling to move.

"You're not going? Then I'll go myself." After saying that, Li Hezhu struggled to get up.

Wutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly held her down.

"Don't move, Madam! I will go. Can't I go right now?"

The little maid went out and took a walk, which soon alarmed everyone on the boat.

In addition to Captain Yi Yuande, Tieguai Li and Lei Er's wife, who were heading north on the same ship, all came running over.

"General Li," Yi Yuande looked at Tieguai Li with an embarrassed expression, "What do you think of this?"

Tieguai Li ignored him and looked at his granddaughter with a worried look on his face, "He Zhuer, the shore is not a regular dock, can you hold on?"

"Don't worry, Grandfather." Li Hezhu nodded without hesitation, smiling, "Granddaughter can do it."

She snapped her fingers together, grinning.

"Your granddaughter has never been a spoiled person."

Before Ren Ning moved to Guangxin County, a lot of land in the county belonged to the Li family.

However, the former guerrilla general's mansion, including Tieguai Li and Li Hebai, are no longer there.

Every year, Li Hezhu, a girl, takes the lead in making decisions regarding spring ploughing, autumn harvest, conflicts among servants, and various trivial matters.

  Guangxin is such a big county, with mountains, rivers, rivers, and villages of all sizes. Is there any place she hasn’t been to?

Not to mention it was strenuous, he never even frowned.

"I know my body well. Although it's heavy now, I'm not completely unable to move."

What's more, it's just getting off the boat, so there's no problem.

"Secondly, Your Highness will soon be the ruler of a country. The country's rules are majestic, and we should abide by them and set an example for the people of the world."

After saying that, Li Hezhu smiled and spread her hands.

If Ren Ning was the same as in the past, he would not be a prince but an ordinary general or even an ordinary citizen.

If any rule is broken, then so be it. At worst, you can just go home, lock the door and ignore it.

"third……"

She proudly gave a long list of reasons, and Yi Yuande and the others stopped talking.

thump.

Tieguai Li pounded the iron crutch in his hand hard, finalizing the decision.

"Then get off the boat at the canal lock."

Although Yi Yuande didn't agree in his heart, he opened his mouth but no words came out.

"Come here, all parties should make all preparations and send an order to Xingji City at the same time. The queen will disembark in front of the canal gate."

"Yes!" Several messengers hurried away.

Not long after, the two warships stopped at the place where Ying Pan went ashore last time.

Yi Yuande did not dare to be negligent at all, and made all preparations in a respectful and meticulous manner.

Everyone got off the boat smoothly.

Not to mention any surprises, not even a drop of sweat appeared on Li Hezhu's forehead.

On the shore, Ren Ning and Lei Er were already waiting with smiles on their faces.

Everyone was shocked.

  What is Ren Ning’s current identity?

That is the emperor who is about to ascend the throne.

Even he went out of the city to greet her in person, which shows how much he values ​​Li Hezhu.

"I have met Your Highness."

"Everyone, you've worked hard on the journey." Ren Ning supported everyone with no complaints on his face, "Everyone, please stand up quickly."

He looked up at the sky and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back home first."

"Yes!"

The long convoy set off quickly and headed towards Xingji City.

The news that Ren Ning went out of the city to welcome Li Hezhu spread quickly in Xingji City.

Some people were ready to make a move, but were quickly warned by others.

"Two warships escorting her shows that the Concubine is a person who knows her limits. She even got off the ship at the gate with a big belly, which shows that she only wants His Highness and the harem to be safe and sound, and she doesn't mean to be arrogant because of her son's favor."

If someone were to provoke them now, they would probably die.
