It was said that Xu Shi's time was "given" to Su Lin and Gu Yi, but in fact they were not the only ones who had to say goodbye to him?
Anyway, it didn't take long for a call from Zuicheng came over, hesitantly wanting to meet him.
"Master...are you going to go to sea yourself?"
The person who contacted him was naturally Lin Yue. In the mansion in District 6, the little assassin sister dressed up carefully and respectfully waited for Xu Shi's arrival.
"Huh? Have I already told you?"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, why did he remember not telling her yet?
"Governor Tang told me."
Lin Yue lowered her eyes, "Isn't this the only thing that will be discussed at the city hall meeting tomorrow...I'm going there too. It was mentioned in the information she sent in advance."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Xu Shi slapped his forehead, why he kept forgetting that he was no longer the gang leader, but the lord of the city... Maybe it was because the training experience in the past was so interesting? It's not because I've been focusing on other people these past few days.
"You...must go?"
Lin Yue's face showed concern, "Actually, it's okay if you don't go, right?"
"Why do you say that?" Xu Shi asked curiously.
"Because it seems better to send someone to explore the road first?"
The little assassin sister said seriously, "Is it dangerous to go to sea? I always feel that as a leader, you always seem a bit reckless in doing so."
"When did you teach me a lesson?"
Xu Shi smiled and took her into his arms, "Of course, what you said makes sense...it's just that I prefer the excitement of the unknown, so I don't want to miss such a thing."
This is the truth. He considers himself a person who strives for victory in a stable manner, but he is not as stable as an old dog. If he pursues this blindly, life will lose a lot of fun.
Do you understand the value of personal conquest by a charioteer? (tactical fallback)
And, although what Lin Yue said was true, it was a matter of "natural law" and the matter was so big that he was not allowed to be the boss. It was necessary to do everything personally, otherwise he would still not feel at ease.
"Yes, Lin Yue is more talkative."
Seeing what he said, Lin Yue certainly couldn't persuade him any more and nodded lightly.
"Then, will you take me with you?"
She thought for a while and then said, "Or let Lin Xing follow you... This way your safety will be more guaranteed."
"Well, it doesn't seem to be necessary?"
Xu Shi waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "I have already decided on the candidates to go overseas... I'll tell you earlier next time."
"……Um."
The little assassin sister was obedient, but the disappointment on her face was visible to the naked eye.
In fact, she also realized that although honestly speaking, her fighting ability was definitely not bad, and the same was true for Lin Xing.
But if she was placed in the circle of people around Xu Shi, she would seem relatively mediocre, so it would be reasonable for Xu Shi not to consider her.
It's just that after all, she definitely won't be happy... Being ignored by the master is one thing, and more importantly, she feels that she can't help Xu Shi, which makes her even more uncomfortable.
Thinking like this, she suddenly couldn't help crying.
"Why are you crying?"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw this. This reaction could be said to be beyond his expectation.
"I, I just feel...I'm useless..."
Lin Yue sobbed intermittently, "I can't be of much use in this matter, I..."
"..."
There was silence for a while.
Should it be said that the effect of "entropy increase of evil thoughts" is too good? I always feel that the assassin's little sister has degenerated deeper than I thought...
It can be seen from the way she speaks of her master - others call him this with a bit of fun in it, but she only uses such a title out of sheer surrender. In essence, it has a lot of meaning. difference.
Anyway, he really didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so violent. Maybe it was also related to her experience? Shen He had given up on her before when she was in "Xinghuo", and now she felt that she had neglected her and was always treated like this. No matter how strong she seemed, she was actually always on the verge of collapse.
Alas, poor child.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry."
Xu Shi had no choice but to kiss her on the forehead, "Don't think so wildly. When did I say you were useless?"
If she was really useless, he wouldn't have put so much effort into her - not just training her, don't forget that he brought her up step by step to reach her current position, and even now, if she encounters something Even when things happen, he will secretly help her solve her problems.
Lin Yue's changes were enough to make him happy. On the one hand, she surrendered to him, and it was also true that she was gradually able to take charge of her own affairs. During this period, he had not paid much attention to matters in Suicheng, but Tang Shuang was still responsible for coordinating the two sides. Xia Wuyou's opinion of her is not low.
So.
"You don't have to be by my side to be useful, right?"
He touched the assassin's little sister's head, "And a signal relay station will be set up on the route soon, and it won't take long to re-establish contact."
Lin Yue said nothing, but her tears gradually faded away.
"Before that, you will be solely responsible for the affairs of Sin City. It is your task to manage it well."
Xu Shi comforted her again, "If you encounter something difficult, just go to Su Lin to discuss it...just treat it as a play, and don't refuse."
The biggest advantage of leaving Su Lin to look after the house is here, because she has experienced everything with her, so she can talk to anyone, and her ability is not weak in the first place, which makes it even more worth letting people know. rest assured.
"Well, Lin Yue knows."
Hearing what he said, the little assassin sister calmed down and said, "I will definitely do the things you tell me well."
As she spoke, there was even a little smile on her face.
Xu Shi also smiled, this is right, just think it over clearly... But isn't the change too fast? Are you so obedient?
Taking a closer look, Lin Yue's smile contained a bit of ambiguity, and he finally realized it.
Did any keywords trigger? For example, place...
Thinking back on it, it was true that before the word came out, she was still sad, and then her face changed immediately.
Okay.
Xu Shi couldn't laugh or cry, good guy, it turns out there is something wrong with the way he speaks, right? If you describe the same thing differently, can you accept it all at once?
That's not as good as...
The bad man had a bad idea, reached out and opened the drawer under the table next to him, and took out something from it.
It was their private prop box.
"How about I give you another task?"
He waved the thing in front of the assassin's little sister, and gently ordered, "I have to keep it on until I come back. You can't take it out."
……Why?
Lin Yue was indeed in a good mood because the keyword was triggered. It seemed easier to accept it this way... She came back to her senses when she saw something, and her throat rolled unconsciously.
"These three?"
She carefully confirmed that during the last meeting with the city hall, there was only one...
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, no, Lin Yue just obeys the master's orders..."
The little assassin sister shook her head, took the initiative to take the things, and lowered her head shyly, "Does it count from now on?"
"I was just kidding you, you really agreed."
Xu Shi laughed dumbly and took the things back before she could do anything.
Even if Lin Yue agrees, he can't really do it. The good guy doesn't know when he will come back after leaving. How many months and half a year? I'm going to go crazy if I keep wearing it all the time... It's so obedient and cute no matter what I say. It's so cute.
"……Bullying."
Lin Yue was startled and murmured in a low voice. Speaking of which, had he always treated her like this before?
It seems so, but at that time I just thought he was shameless and dirty, but now it's different, the little fun will only make people feel happier and sweeter.
This is especially true for her - she is different from others. She enjoys the process of being bullied by Xu Shi more than anything else. She looks more and more independent on the surface, but she doesn't know how she has been distorted on the inside...
"Then, at least before you leave, treat me..."
"don't want."
Xu Cai refused and stood up to leave, "This is also part of the arrangement, Miss Lin Yue."
After seeing him off, the little assassin sister couldn't help biting her lip.
It sounds good, but why do I still feel like I'm going crazy...
…
The meeting of all the forces was held early the next morning.
In order to avoid extraneous matters, no one disclosed the shipbuilding and going to sea to the public, but internal mobilization summaries were still needed.
"Everyone is here, why don't I just keep the story short?"
As the host of the meeting, Tang Shuang remained as capable as ever, "The influence of the "Forgotten" has been basically eliminated, and the renovation and reconstruction of Sin City has been stabilized... Now that the fleet has been completed, other preparations have been completed. According to Chairman Xu, I mean, we will officially go to sea in two days. Do you have any objections? "
The words "Chairman Xu's intention" instantly turned the democratic meeting into a forum for some people to speak out, making Tang Shuang look like an acting mouthpiece.
However, everyone's opinions are surprisingly unanimous, because they know in their hearts that Xu Shiben is the biggest contributor to everything now, and no one wants to stand on his opposite side.
"I have no opinion."
Lin Yue was the first to express her position, saying that it was true that she had become more capable during this period. She was the only representative in Suicheng. It didn't matter whether Lin Xing was there or not. The key was that Song Ziyou could only sit at the children's table. This was undoubtedly the best way to further consolidate her dominance. Good signal.
"We don't have any objection either."
The father and son of the Qi family spoke next, "The preparations for the "imaginary numbers" have been arranged. We are just waiting for Chairman Xu's order. "
Everyone present knew the true meaning behind going to sea. Xu Shi had also talked to the father and son about "natural principles" before.
They are all the top beings in the City of Night Sin, and what should be said must be said. Otherwise, if something happens, and the other party knows that you excluded them from the beginning, it will be difficult for them to be united again. That is the real reason for being small. Big loss.
The result is that "Imaginary Numbers" has given enough attention and support to this matter, and it has not been left behind despite its efforts.
But that was all. The Qi family father and son had no further ideas, such as sending an elite team to accompany the ship. Xu Shi even specially invited Qi Maoyang to join him. At that time, the other party's head shook faster than a rattle.
Does this count as still being afraid of the unknown? Or is it a disguised way to show that you have no ambition? Maybe it's both... It's hard for Xu Shi to explain why, but since this is someone else's decision, he can't forcefully force it.
Anyway, he is not worried that "Imaginary Number" will cause chaos after he leaves, because there are still people keeping control.
"I don't have any objections. "Quill" has been fully supportive of this matter from the beginning. "
When the people in the town spoke, Wen Shengkui knocked on the table slowly, "I just hope that the fleet can unite as one and return safely."
"Also, don't forget to record in detail what you see along the way. I'm old and can't make trouble with you, but even if you learn something new through pictures and texts, it's still a good thing."
The latter sentence was not meant for Xu Shi, but for Xia Kean next to him - "Quill Pen" and "Imaginary Number" were almost the same, neither of them appointed nominal dignitaries to accompany them, but they entrusted the old aunt help.
Only then did everyone notice her. At first glance, they thought it was an empty chair. They thought it was someone who was temporarily absent. It turned out to be someone else's chair.
"Well, don't worry, Uncle Wen."
The white-haired loli stood on the chair and agreed seriously.
The fact is that she used to have a good personal relationship with this elder. Recently, she often goes to "Quill Pen" and she is not just a trustee. He has old stories to talk about.
"Just do it. Don't worry about things in the city."
Mr. Wen nodded slightly, "I'm watching."
It was just four words, but they all spoke loudly. Especially when Xu Shi heard it, he felt extremely relieved. With his old man staring at him, no one dared to make a mistake. Even the S-level Longtian Cauldron was instantly evaporated. Don't be afraid. You can try it if you are dead.
Or if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure.
"In that case, we wish this voyage a smooth one."
After taking inventory of the personnel and supplies of all parties, Tang Shuang stood up and made a summary.
The time to go to sea was just around the corner. Not to mention the people who were going to sea, everyone who stayed behind also knew that their task was not light, so they left after saying a few words.
Only Xu Shi was not in a hurry to leave. He noticed the little look in Governor Tang's eyes just now and clearly wanted to leave him alone for a few words.
"What's going on, our Governor of Tang Dynasty?"
He tilted his head and looked at the other person carefully.
"Hey, if you don't come to me to say goodbye, forget it. If I come to you, why do you still ask me?"
Tang Shuang lost her good temper after seeing him and rolled her eyes in return.
"Don't you want me to leave?"
Xu Shi was shameless and smiled even happier.
"Do you believe me when I say I'm willing to give up?"
Tang Shuang couldn't hold back any longer, and her stern face turned into laughter, "I haven't seen you come to me a few times before. It's better now. No one is here anymore. Do you think I can't let you go?"
It’s really touching to say that it was a good story that these two came together, but after confirming their relationship, they spent less time together - Director Tang became Governor Tang, and he was extremely busy every day. Maybe I have a lot of things to do, and I really don't have much free time. Most of them are just like today, we got together because of official business.
I'm not busy now, and I'm going to go to sea soon... Now it's really a long-distance relationship. There are two different concepts: not having time to find and not being able to find.
"I don't know how long it will take for you to come back. I really didn't get used to it for a while, and I felt empty."
As he spoke, the Governor of Tang Dynasty, who was acting vigorously and resolutely just now, became a bit more resentful.
But just when Xu Shi thought she was going to come over, the other party just flipped her hair and said with a calm smile, "Come on."
"Why?"
"Hey what? Did I say something wrong?"
Tang Shuang said brightly, "I used to read books about men who aspire to be all over the place, but I didn't understand it. Now that I've discovered that there is a wider world outside, I realize that it seems to be true."
"In this case, I think you should be encouraged to do this. Why, do you think I will cry and hold you back in a pretentious manner to prevent you from leaving?"
Xu Shi was really surprised now. He really didn't expect Tang Shuang to have such an attitude.
Maybe it’s because there are so many voices trying to persuade you to stay these days? It's really surprising how she does this.
Of course, that's not to say that others are really hypocritical, but as Tang Shuang said, everyone doesn't feel much about the so-called "aiming in all directions"?
Why are you so ambitious? From District 11 to District 13? No matter how big the City of Night Sin is, it is just a city with lingering limitations.
But this also shows that Tang Shuang's ideas are valuable. Seeing the big from the small reflects her chicness. This is the kind of person she is.
"Just remember to come back."
The Governor of Tang Dynasty leaned on the table and smiled slightly, "Actually, I can't be said to be very free and easy, I am still a bit contradictory."
"Originally, I wanted to hand myself over to you before you left, but I thought it would be a drag on you, but I don't know what the outside world will be like, and I'm afraid you'll be lost and won't come back."
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Shi rarely said seriously, "No matter what, this is my home. Where will I go if I don't come back?"
"Your words are reassuring."
Tang Shuang smiled, "Then let's wait until you come back. I can just calm down and practice to improve myself while you are away."
"Hey, I can't even think about coming back now."
Xu Shi pretended to be sorry.
"Go, you know how to talk."
Governor Tang pinched his waist and said, "If you can, take me with you next time."
"As for this time... take care of Dian Xingchuan for me. She has many flaws in her character. It would be a good thing if she can experience it."
"Do you really agree with her going?"
Xu Shi was surprised that the city hall had to send people to go to sea and so on. It was Yu Xingchuan who volunteered at that time, but he didn't expect that she actually approved it.
"Who makes me unable to control you, my stinky brother."
Tang Shuang spread her hands and knew what his subtext was, "If you don't mean it, you can't do anything if she takes off her clothes and stands in front of you. If you mean it, it's useless no matter how much I stop her. This is the kind of person our Chairman Xu is." ,Right?"
Xu Shi laughed, feeling more and more that he didn't know her well enough. She was obviously a very principled person, but she was unexpectedly generous in some places.
There was no one around, and the two of them were not restrained. They hugged and kissed each other naturally. This was the best parting gift.
Enjoying this tenderness, Xu Shi was greatly comforted.
I can only say that the three sisters around me are all treasures. Su Lin is the best supporter, and Tang Shuang is also very considerate and supports his ambitions and aspirations.
Of course, there is one more.
"Here, let's see how I look like."
On the day of going to sea, Xie Qingyan took the initiative to come over and showed off his new skin like a catwalk.
"It's very ceremonial."
Looking at her magically modified navy uniform, Xu Shi burst into laughter.
This one is extremely ambitious himself. If a good man is ambitious in all directions, then a bitchy woman can be regarded as a woman who is not inferior to men.
As for good-looking, that's for sure. With a figure like hers, she looks good even in a sack.
"Here, I'll dress you up too."
Xie Qingyan threw him a package, "Some people said that when I leave my name in Qingshi, I will take him with me. A decent outfit is essential."
"I don't know who took whom."
Xu Shi shrugged.
"Is this important?"
The dog woman was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue with him, "The most important thing is..."
"start sailing!"
Yeah, I haven’t finished it yet, so let’s put a 5,000-word chapter first. The leader of the alliance will definitely make up for it...
(End of chapter)
