The purchasing power of one hundred pounds was still very high in Britain at that time. The net profit of a barge like this, which relied on ferrying passengers for short-distance work, was only between one hundred and two hundred pounds per month.
Now the big benefactor will make half a month's net profit as soon as he sells it, which makes the captain smile so hard that he can't close his eyes. "Please, sir, please sit down! You look like a big shot. You must be a high-ranking official in the mission. Do you want tea or coffee?" ? Haha, look at my brain, you must not like British tea, so let’s have some coffee..."
King Yi couldn't stand the captain's enthusiasm. He nodded and said, "No need to prepare. I need to borrow the signal light on your barge now. Where is it..."
"Signal lights? Yes, yes, there are one set at the bow and stern of the ship..."
One hundred pounds was not earned in vain. King Yi needed his men to send a coded signal to the Zhiyuan to inform him that he had arrived, so that Xiao Letian could prepare in advance.
King Yi has become anonymous. People in Europe only know his name as Shi Yi. No one knows that this man who lost his braids and grew a beard is King Yi Shi Dakai who shocked the Qing Dynasty.
The United Fleet has a lot of people talking. God knows if all Zai Chun's men have left. King Yi is a cautious person and must say hello in advance.
Two Prussian veterans who were proficient in light signals each controlled a signal light and began to send light signals to the Reach.
Of course, there were no electric signal lights in that era. They were all large kerosene lamps that burned kerosene. But don’t underestimate this kind of kerosene signal light. There was a curved glass mirror behind the light source, which reflected all the light to a small exit directly in front. , there is a baffle on this outlet that can be opened and closed flexibly.
Sailors control the opening and closing of baffles to create rhythmic light signals of different lengths on the sea. Each group has its own unique meaning, and each country also has its own code book.
The Zhiyuan quickly received the signal from the barge. When Cai Bixia took out the special code book to translate, she suddenly became excited. She quickly ran to Xiao Letian's side and leaned into his ear and said, "The head of state... Lord Shiyi is here..."
Cai Bixia and the others were among the first batch of students to study in Prussia, and they also had family backgrounds of high-ranking Ryukyu officials, so Shi Yi's identity was not a secret to them.
Wing King Shi Dakai, the legendary rebel, came, and all the young Eagles became excited.
Xiao Letian's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay! Big brother is here, ready to welcome... Zai Chun's people have disembarked, right?"
At this moment, there is no outsider on the Zhiyuan. The British guests have left, and Zai Chun's men have also left. The rest are direct descendants of the Chinese people, and there is no need to worry about confidentiality.
Xiao Letian rubbed his hands and looked at the barge that was getting closer in the darkness. He was extremely excited. Who is his real friend in this world? Xiao Letian would definitely identify Yi Wang Shi Dakai.
From the moment he traveled through time, he was the first big figure in the Qing Dynasty that Xiao Letian met, and King Yi also gave him a lot of help in the early stages of his career.
The most important thing is that King Yi did not have any ambitions by relying on the rise of the Chinese race. He sincerely wanted to be a hidden dragon. He changed his appearance and exiled himself to Europa. He even swore to Xiao Letian when they parted that he would never return. The Qing Dynasty.
What state is this? This is the hidden dragon who has seen through the temptation of power, and Xiao Letian knows very well that King Yi's oath is actually for him. He wants to reassure Xiao Letian and let him work hard freely. He King Yi has already After changing his name to Shiyi, even the memory of the past has been lost, so what kind of power do he need?
"Shi Yi...amnesia...my old brother! You have little power, am I just a fan of the officialdom? Brother, I don't want to be a member of the world. I really envy your fairy life..."
The entire Zhiyuan began to take action. Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun, and Liang Kun were all veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven. They were the old subordinates of King Yi back then. When they saw their old master back this time, their eyes were all red with excitement. Even Director Wang, the CIA director who had been wearing casual clothes for a long time, also put on a brand new military uniform.
Although Wang Huaiyuan is the chief of intelligence, he also holds the rank of general. The straight general uniform he wears really adds a bit of heroism to his body.
For so many years, Wang Huaiyuan has been engaged in underground intelligence work. His long-term contact with secrets has added a lot of dark energy to his temperament. Most people are afraid of him, but today, wearing a sunny general uniform, his whole body immediately became sunny. Many, even years of coughing are getting better.
Xiao Letian looked at him and said with a smile, "You should wear less casual clothes in the future. Military uniforms are the most masculine and masculine clothing in the world. Wearing them will be good for your condition... It is equivalent to getting more sunshine every day."
Sima Yun also smiled and said, "I have persuaded him a long time ago, but Lao Wang has such a stubborn temper. He insists that those who do his work should be low-key and low-key. In the end, they are so low-key that they don't see the sun. There are too many dark things in their hearts. Isn’t it hurting your vitality..."
"Ahem...don't talk about me, don't talk about me, the prince is coming soon. I'll have a drink with you tonight..." After saying this, Wang Huaiyuan secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.
At this moment, the deck is already full of veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven, as well as officers and soldiers who know the identity of King Yi. Those who know the identity of King Yi are already the oldest direct descendants of the Chinese people. The minions in the Taihang Mountains back then are all now a company. The platoon is long.
As soon as everyone heard that the old prince was coming, they all rushed to the deck. If they were not afraid that Britain would notice at this moment, they would have cheered.
Wang Junlan from the CIA shuttled back and forth among the crowd, whispering, "Please keep it secret. This is Britain. Everyone should restrain their emotions and don't make the British suspicious... Everyone should restrain their emotions... Don't make the British suspicious..."
It was the constant reminders from these CIA intelligence officers that made the welcome ceremony solemn and quiet.
The barge slowly approached the Zhiyuan. At this moment, King Yi had already seen Xiao Letian waiting on the edge of the deck. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.
Putting down the gangway, Yi Wang strode aboard. When he jumped onto the deck of the Zhiyuan, before he could say anything, Xiao Letian went up to him and gave him a tiger hug, slamming his fist on Yi Wang's back.
"Brother... I miss me so much, I really miss me..."
King Yi's nose was sore and his eye sockets were so hot that he almost cried. He patted Xiao Letian's back and sighed, "Brother, you did a great job. It turns out that you are better than me, and better than those of us back then." !”
"Hey...if the King of Heaven had half your ability or half your mind...the cause of the Kingdom of Heaven wouldn't be inferior!"
At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Everyone... stand at attention... salute!"
With a bang, the officers and soldiers on the dark deck collectively performed a new military salute to the old prince, and a murderous atmosphere filled the Thames Estuary.
