Chapter 329 The Location of the Chinese Continent

When Wu Gang and Wu Gang saw Wang Lang, they were very excited. They quickly walked a few steps and bowed down to pray.

"Chen! Wu Gang!"

"Chen, Li Mu,"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang stepped forward to support him and said, "You two lovers, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two said loudly.

"The two generals traveled thousands of miles, went to the wilderness, and explored thousands of miles of seas for my Great Xia. These achievements are not only yours, but also the glory of my Great Xia. Your names will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future, and future generations will definitely remember you. As an example, spread my Great Xia's warships all over the sea." Wang Lang said excitedly.

The words from the heart immediately inspired Wu Gang and the two of them. Wu Gang said excitedly: "I am willing to fight for the sea for Your Majesty and protect the coastline of my great summer."

"Okay, you are indeed worthy of being loyal and brave men of the Great Xia. I am very clear about your two years of hard work. I will definitely not treat my soldiers who have shed blood and sweat for the Great Xia badly." After finishing speaking, Wang Lang glanced at the dark clouds.

Receiving Wang Lang's signal, Wu Yun took a few steps forward, came in front of Wu Gang and the two, opened a chapter scroll and read: "Commander, Wu Gang, Li Mu, are not afraid of hardships, and have worked hard for me to explore the coast of Shenzhou for two years. Wu Gang is now appointed as the left general of the navy, with a reward of [-] renminbi, Li Mu is made the right general of the navy, with a reward of [-] renminbi, and the rest of the officers are promoted to a higher level, with a reward of [-] renminbi, and sailors are rewarded with a thousand renminbi." Wu Yun read loudly.

After hearing their rewards, the two became even more excited and bowed loudly: "Minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang smiled and said: "You two generals don't need to be too polite, the journey is hard, I have prepared food and wine in the palace, to welcome the two generals, come! Two generals, sit in the same car with me."

After finishing speaking, he took the hands of the two of them, got on the ornately decorated deer cart, and Wang Lang drove the cart himself, heading towards the imperial city.

Wu Gang and Li Mu stood next to Wang Lang, tense and stiff. They stood straight on the car like stone sculptures, looking at the people passing by on both sides of the street.

A woman wearing a turban in the crowd, standing in the crowd and holding a child about two years old, pointed to the deer cart going away and said, "Baby, your father is in that cart."

The child in his arms looked at the vehicle fading away, bit his fingers and grinned, clapped his little hands excitedly, and mumbled the word "father".

In the spacious open space of the palace, a long thatched shed was built, and the two sides of the aisle were filled with tables for one person to sit alone. After the civil and military officials were seated, the chefs placed the iced drinks prepared by each minister. before.

Wu Gang looked at the strange "drink" in front of him curiously. He didn't know what kind of material the smooth inside was made of. Two ice cubes that were steaming cold were undulating in the purple liquid. The cool feeling dispelled a little of the sweltering summer heat. , making people feel refreshed.

After Wang Lang took his seat, he raised his glass and said, "The weather is hot, and we have specially prepared refreshing drinks for you. Come, let's have a drink together!"

With Wang Lang taking the lead, everyone was no longer restrained, and raised their cups to respect Wang Lang from a distance.

Wu Gang drank the liquid in the glass, and the sweet taste immediately caught his eyes. This taste is different from fruit wine, it is a feeling he can't describe, and it is mixed with the coolness of ice cubes, and his body can't help but tremble. She shivered, and the stuffy feeling was swept away immediately.

"nice one!"

Wu Gang looked at the empty cup and made his own evaluation.

After drinking a glass of drink, the dishes were delivered to the civil and military officials like a stream of water.

Wu Gang and Li Mu looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes. In the past two years since they left, there have been so many delicious dishes in the capital. Looking at the dishes on the table, the two Throat could not help rolling up.

This royal banquet allowed the two of them to truly appreciate what real delicacy is. Thinking back to the smelly sea fish they ate in the sea for two years, the eyes of the two of them suddenly became moist, and a feeling of bitterness and reward welled up in their hearts. .

The royal banquet didn't come to an end until ten o'clock in the evening. Wu Gang, who was drowsy, returned to his home in Yancheng with the support of soldiers.

"Boom!"

The heavy knock on the door startled the woman. She carefully held the child in her arms, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and asked nervously, "Who...who is it!"

"Ma'am, General Wu drank too much, let's send him back." A soldier said loudly.

When the woman heard this, her face was full of joy, and she said nervously, "Wait a minute...I...I'll be right here."

Hastily put the child in his arms aside, tidied his clothes indiscriminately, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a big man reeking of alcohol rushing towards her. The woman was startled and wanted to avoid it, but when she saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but feel relieved and held him up.

"Madam, this is the general's official uniform, please keep it." The soldier handed a package to the woman.

The woman took the package and nodded to the two soldiers.

"General's Madam, General Wu has already been sent back, so let's take our leave." The soldier said respectfully.

"Thank you both!" The woman smiled kindly.

The soldier arched his hands, turned and disappeared into the night.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, the woman looked at Wu Gang leaning crookedly on her shoulder, couldn't help but sighed, closed the courtyard door, and helped Wu Gang into the house with difficulty.

After struggling to get Wu Gang onto the bed, the woman was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, she sat aside and said dissatisfiedly, "How could you drink like this!"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as there are... two more boats, I will never let anything get close to the coast of Daxia." Wu Gang closed his eyes and muttered while drinking.

The child at the side stumbled to the side of the woman and looked curiously at the man on the bed who was as strong as a hill in his eyes.

"Mother, mother, who is this person!" the little girl asked in a childish voice.

"Baby, this man is your father." The woman said slowly.

"Father?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then cheered.

"I have a father, I have a father."

The woman touched the little girl's head and said, "Keep down, don't disturb your father's sleep, go and play by yourself!"

The little girl pouted, looked at Wu Gang who was lying on the bed, walked to the bedside and smelled it, the pungent alcohol smell immediately made the little girl cover her nose, and ran away from the bedside.

The woman shook her head and smiled, took off Wu Gang's clothes, and straightened his crooked body.

Looking at Wu Gang's face, the woman was full of memories.

When I was sold here as a slave by the Raging Fire Tribe, I thought I would not be able to survive, but everything about the Ministry of Salt overturned her cognition. And he was also bought by Wu Gang.

Thinking of herself who was terrified at the time, the woman couldn't help laughing. It was the man in front of her who changed her own destiny. With the family system of the Ministry of Salt, she and this man formed a family. They were completely strangers. But he became the closest person, from strangeness to familiarity, to the reluctance to part when parting, the scenes of the past appeared in front of his eyes, as if everything was a dream.

Wu Gang fell asleep until the next morning, rubbed his aching temples, and got dressed.

After walking out of the room, he saw the woman busy in the courtyard.

Seeing Wu Gang wake up, the woman wiped her hands and said, "You're awake, I'll get you something to eat."

Wu Gang nodded, looked at the little girl hiding behind the woman who was secretly looking at him, and asked, "Is this our child?"

The woman heard the words, pulled the little girl from behind, and said, "Baby, call me father!"

The little girl looked at Wu Gang, a little shy, and ran behind the woman in a panic.

"You've been away for so long, this child doesn't know you anymore." The woman said leisurely.

Wu Gang sighed and said, "Go and get something to eat, I'll stay with her for a while."

After the woman left, the two people, one big and one small, just looked at each other for a long time.

Wu Gang squatted down and made a face at the little girl.

This move immediately made the little girl giggle.

"Come, come here, father!" Wu Gang said lightly.

The little girl hesitated for a while, then walked slowly to Wu Gang's side, stretched out her little hand, and said in a childish voice, "I'll give you candy! Sweet!"

Wu Gang took the candy from the little girl and put it in his mouth. Although the candy was sweet, he didn't know why it felt very bitter.

Picking up the little girl and putting it on her shoulders, the two women began to play around in the small courtyard.

The woman who was cooking at the side laughed when she saw this warm scene.

After the meal was ready, Wu Gang ate and said, "Did the child have a name?"

The woman shook her head and said: "Not yet, I don't understand anything, you should think about the name!"

Wu Gang put down his chopsticks, frowned and thought carefully. After a long time, Wu Gang said, "Let's call her Red Flower. I hope our daughter will be as beautiful as a red flower in the future."

The woman nodded and said: "This name is very nice, baby, from now on you will be a red flower, Wu Honghua!"

Brother, the girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and smiled happily.

When the family was enjoying a rare reunion, there was a "bang bang" knock on the door.

Wu Gang opened the door and saw two palace guards.

Before Wu Gang could ask, a guard said, "General Wu, Your Majesty has an order to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!"

Wu Gang sighed, glanced at the mother and daughter behind him, turned his head and said to the guards, "Thank you for your hard work, I will go there as soon as I get ready."

The guard nodded, bowed his hands to Wu Gang, turned and left.

"Husband, are you leaving again?" The woman looked a little lonely.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't be so unreasonable. How could I leave so soon after I came back? I should have something else to ask me. You bring red flowers at home, and I will go to the palace." Wu Gang comforted road.

The woman nodded, and took out Wu Gang's new official uniform.

"When the two soldiers sent you back yesterday, they said that this is your new official uniform. Put this on!" The woman opened the brand new official uniform and handed it to Wu Gang.

Looking at the light blue official uniform, Wu Gang realized that he had really been promoted, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

Putting on the brand-new official uniform and hat, Wu Gang walked towards the palace, accepting the respectful eyes of the people along the way, which made him enjoy it very much.

On the edge of the imperial city, Wu Gang saw Li Mu walking towards him wearing the same official uniform as himself.

"Brother Wu, you had a great time last night!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"I drank a little too much last night. I just woke up at noon today. My head still hurts. Has Brother Li also been summoned by His Majesty?" Wu Gang cupped his hands and asked.

Li Mu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it's true, we just came back, and we were called over before our butts were hot at home."

Wu Gang said with a smile: "Yesterday, I just drank too much. I think His Majesty wants to learn more about the overseas situation today!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Brother Wu, please!"

Wu Gang smiled and said, "Brother Li, please!"

The two gave way for a while, but had no choice but to walk side by side.

"Your Majesty, Generals Wu and Li have arrived." A guard reported.

"Oh, send them in quickly." Wang Lang said hastily.

"Yes!"

After Wu Gang and Li Mu came in, they bowed and said, "My lord, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"You two lovers, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two were seated, Wang Lang said: "I called you two together today, just to find out what you have seen and heard in the past two years, Wu Aiqing, please tell me first!"

Wu Gang arched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I set off from Harbor City two years ago and sailed south along the coastline. It took me three months to sail to the southernmost tip of the mainland. From there, our ship sailed westward. This time we sailed for more than half a year, and reached the westernmost part of the mainland, where it was desolate, and after sailing north for more than two months, we met General Li and the others, and then we began to return."

Wang Lang was listening to Wu Gang's narration while comparing the integrated map. Wang Lang was very unfamiliar with the outline map of the mainland of China. In his impression, he had never seen a land of this shape. However, according to Wu Gang's narration, if he really It is on the earth. Judging from the scale of this continent, it is even larger than the territory of China in another world. A land of this size is most likely to exist in the Pacific Ocean. At this moment, he has basically Determined your location.

The mainland of China should be located between Asia and America, generally located in the northern hemisphere and half in the southern hemisphere, and this also explains why the ships of the dinosaurs appeared on the east coast of the mainland. The east of the mainland of China should be very close to South America or In Central America, it can be seen that the biggest threat to Xia Kingdom is the dinosaurs here. As for the Asian region, there should be no threat for the time being. The desert on the west coast is good news for Wang Lang. If Asian civilizations attack Shenzhou Well, the vast desert is a natural barrier, as long as their navy and the enemies of the Laoshi expedition are eliminated, it is impossible to defeat Xia on land.
