Chapter 145
Xu Man swallowed, thinking that even if it was really a white-eyed wolf, he should have fed it for so long, right?
I don’t ask for much, just don’t be vengeful
Even if you don’t feed well, you are the wife of Lu Yuanzheng, they shouldn’t mess around, right?
Not that I’m that important, but if I’m moved, it means that their country started the war
That would give our side a reason to send troops to take down the Kaya, or even their country
Thinking about it like this, it suddenly seemed that if something happened to him, it would be a bit more cost-effective
Xu Wen thought to himself, “There’s no harm in going in there, whether you live or die
No matter how you think about it, it takes courage to go into a wolf’s den alone
Xu Man’s palms were sweaty, and after a while of psychological counseling, he feigned a look of surprise and said, “Yes!”
The small door on the wall of the Kaya opened, and Xu Man approached the houseboat
As he approached, he regretted it
Frankly speaking, to Xu Man, that door was tantamount to a ghost gate
She hadn’t lived long enough and didn’t want to die heroically
She was afraid
She was afraid that if she went in, she would never come out
The clothes on Xu Man’s back were soaked through, and her body was covered in cold sweat
As she paddled forward with shaking hands, she scolded herself, “Isn’t it good to be a housewife at home? Why do you have to try your best? Even with Lu Yuanzheng to discuss a little more can also be, why be a lone warrior?
But this is what happened
Either she turns around and leaves, wasting all the goodwill she’s shown the Kaya in recent days She’d have to carry a reputation she couldn’t clear
Or she could take a gamble, and if she won, she could return safely, and hand over the plans to our shipbuilding experts
If you lose, you’ll be separated from Lu Yuanzheng forever Maybe they’ll be humiliated before they die
We’re getting closer to the ship’s door
When the sentry who had been watching the Kaya realized something was wrong, it was too late to stop him
The two men were dumbfounded!
Neither of them had expected Xu Man to dare approach the Kaya
Even more so, they didn’t expect the Kaya to open the door for Xu Man
“Crap! Why is sister-in-law on board? What now?” One sentry asked the other, “Does the road battalion know?”
“Know shit! How could the Road Camp let Xu Man’s sister-in-law get on the Kaya alone?” The older one replied
“Then what should we do now?”
The older one gritted his teeth, “I’ll keep an eye on this place, you go inform the Road Camp”
While the two were talking, Xu Wen had already reached the edge of the hatch
The man Caster had personally come to pick up reached out his hand and pulled Xu Man aboard with one hand
The door slowly closed
The older sentry slapped the ground beneath him heavily, a look of chagrin on his face
Careless!
When the sentry came to report, Lu Yuanzheng and the others were in a meeting
For the first time in his life, Lu Yuanzheng’s mind went blank because of one sentence
In that instant, he didn’t even know what he should do or could do
His only thought was that if something really happened to her, he wouldn’t live alone
But martyrdom was the last thing to do
The first step was that he had to determine whether Xu Man was alive or dead
Lu Yuanzheng was not an impulsive person, nor could he be
With two countries at stake, he couldn’t rush in without a head
Shi Lei, who was sitting on his side, patted him on the shoulder twice as a consolation
Such an important matter, Song Xueqin was furious after hearing it, feeling that Xu Man was bold
But this is not the time to blame Xu Man, the most important thing is to save Xu Man out
How to save him? Who is going to save him? These are all questions
The people at the table couldn’t come up with a perfect solution for a while
Lu Yuanzheng suddenly stood up He took off his jacket and threw it on the table: ”Report! We can’t use the military I’ll go on my own! My wife is on their ship, I have a position and an obligation to find her”
Simplifying things is sometimes easier to solve
When the military stepped in, they were restricted in every way, but on the contrary, Xu Man’s status as a husband was much less of a concern
Taking off his military uniform, he was just a man worried about his wife’s comfort
Song Xueqin thought about it and asked Lu Yuanzheng to go fully armed and bring a few people along
“If I say if, there’s really a conflict, you know what the outcome will be at that time, right?” Song Xueqin asked Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “I was bent on using my power for personal gain, and took people to break into the Kaya without authorization It has nothing to do with the country, nothing to do with our army, and is purely a personal action Willing to accept any sanctions”
Song Xueqin let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and waved his hand at him, “Bring a maximum of five people! Bring our best weapons Try to settle this as peacefully as possible”
Lu Yuanzheng saluted Song Xueqin and turned to walk away
That being said, he knew that if something really went wrong, he, Lu Yuanzheng, was definitely not the only one who would be disciplined
Song Xueqin, as his immediate leader, would be just as implicated
Caster reached out to search his body, which Xu Man dodged
Caster raised an eyebrow, and without saying a word, the warrior beside him pointed his gun at Xu Man
Xu Man raised his hands above his head, ”Sorry I didn’t mean anything else It’s just that in our country, there’s a saying that ‘men and women are not related’ May I ask if you have any female soldiers?”
Caster shook his head after hearing what male and female meant
This place is so bitter, it’s not suitable for female soldiers
The main ship was too depressing, and it would be troublesome if the male and female soldiers got into a gunfight and caused a “human life”
Xu Wen was a bit disappointed, and forced herself to calm down, “Look, although you guys are heavily armed, I’m wearing thin clothes Whether or not I’m hiding anything on my body, you guys should be able to tell at a glance”
Xu Wen slowly spun in a circle, letting them see clearly that there was no place on his body where they could hide a weapon, “Besides, you’re all warriors who have been trained for a long time I’m just a woman with unarmed hands Even if I had a gun or a knife in my hand, could I still beat you guys?”
Xu Man said as she spread out her palm
Under the bright light, the skin on Xu Man’s palm was white and delicate, not even a trace of thin calluses, it really didn’t look like a person who knew martial arts
When he had covered the school before, he had originally worn out some calluses, but had recently raised them again
Caster’s gaze was like the sharpest scanner, carefully sweeping over Xu Man’s body, his eyes focusing on her palms and fingertips before he let out a hmmm and led her inside
Xu Wen realized that other than the few soldiers walking around her with guns, there was not a single soldier
On second thought Xu Man understood why
An ordinary woman couldn’t figure out the construction of this giant battleship at a glance, yet she could count how many officers and soldiers there were on this ship
Therefore, those officers and soldiers should have gotten orders not to be allowed out of their quarters
Thinking clearly about this point, Xu Wen let out a slight sigh of relief
Her guts weren’t really that big, letting her face hundreds of men by herself
To not be afraid was to be called an anomaly, wasn’t it?
Caster didn’t talk much, but the adjutant beside him didn’t talk too little, and seemed to really treat Xu Man as a tourist, leading her here and there
Except for the many places labeled as military sites not to be entered
And it was these important places that Xu Man wanted to enter
Pretending that she couldn’t read the words on the doors, Xu Man pointed at one of the doors and said, “Can I take a look?”
“You don’t recognize the words on it?”
“I’m sorry, I can only speak but not write, and I don’t really recognize it My foreign language wasn’t taught in school”
It was normal for illiterate people to be able to speak but not read or write
The adjutant nodded, thinking it was human nature
Caster also expressed his understanding and just firmly refused, “I’m sorry, this is a military-heavy area”
Xu Wen was a little disappointed, but didn’t show it
It was a good thing that except for very few places, they didn’t guard Xu Man
Even the pilothouse let Xu Man have a look around
Xu Man also saw the submarine that came with the ship
Xu Man pretended that he hadn’t seen the world before and stood in front of the submarine for a while, asking questions
Caster’s adjutant explained to her with a proud face, popularizing the submarine and how powerful it was
Xu Man carefully memorized it in her heart
Xu Man looked particularly harmless, easily lowering people’s defenses
But not Caster
For him to be the biggest officer of such a warship, he must not be that easy to fool
Caster kept his face light, looking at Xu Man with particular vigilance
The ship was huge, and Xu Man looked at it carefully, strolling around for more than an hour
Caster’s adjutant saw Xu Man’s face full of admiration, her eyes constantly looking at the ship, and asked her, “You seem to be very interested in this ship?”
It all seemed to be a polite way of saying that Xu Man was a little too interested
This made him a little uneasy
Xu Wen nodded and shook her head again, “I’m a businessman As you can see there is usually a ship at my disposal But lately, I’ve been transporting more and more goods, and that ship of mine won’t be able to hold it anymore!
If only I had such a big ship! It could hold lots and lots of cargo!”
Custer:””
Custer’s adjutant: “”
Both men have a bit of a one-track minded expression on their faces
How much did the ship cost to build?
For carrying cargo?
Is this a ship for carrying cargo?
For a while, both of them felt that it was a bit redundant to be so carefully guarded against Xu Man
A woman is a woman!
The adjutant was even more enthusiastic, revealing in his words that they would treat Xu Man better than the people of Rainbow Island
Under the pretext that if Xu Man couldn’t stay on Rainbow Island, he’d come to them and they’d arrange for Xu Man to go to country f
Saying it nicely didn’t stop Xu Man from seeing the essence at a glance
They wanted to tempt her to rebel!
Xu Wen didn’t directly refuse, after all, people under the roof have to bow their heads
She only “simply” expressed her gratitude to Caster and the adjutant, saying that she was especially touched that they believed in him so much
Unlike on Rainbow Island, where her sisters-in-law, who used to play very well together, had isolated her over such a trivial matter
Xu Man ranted on and on, talking about that bit of rivalry between women
Listening to Castor and the adjutant, they frowned straight away, no man would want to listen to this kind of chicken scratch
In their eyes, it was simply too stupid and a waste of time
Caster and the adjutant weren’t so stupid as to try to turn back Xu Wen at their first meeting, they were just feeling vaguely good about themselves
At this time, there was a large commotion on the deck, and Caster sent someone to check it out
Xu Man took the opportunity to express her desire to use the restroom, and the adjutant pointed her in the direction of the restroom
It was just around the corner from where they were standing
It wasn’t known if it was because Xu Man had acted too stupidly that made their defenses lower or if they were just real gentlemen
Surprisingly, no one looked at Xu Wen
Xu Wen felt that it was still the nature of men to despise women
Xu Wen didn’t go into the restroom, she remembered that there was a door at the end of the restroom that wouldn’t let her in
Xu Man was particularly nervous and walked over at a brisk pace, anyway, if she was caught, she would say that she had gone the wrong way
Otherwise, she would confess that it was curiosity that got the better of her
However, everything went smoothly, making her feel as if she were in a dream, and when she walked back again, there was no one in the cabin at all
Xu asked, “”
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and calmed her rapid breathing, her hand reaching behind her back to lightly tug at the clothes that were stuck to her back by the sweat
In a low voice, she tried calling out twice, and no one responded to her
Xu Wen clenched her teeth and resumed her search for the doors she had just passed by according to her memory
As she walked, she realized that she was truly lost this time
There was one door that she opened twice just by not being allowed to enter
Xu Man was getting more and more anxious and scared
After groping around for a while longer, she finally saw the bad-faced adjutant looking around for her with his men
“What are you doing here?”
“I got lost”
The adjutant looked at Xu Man suspiciously, seeing that Xu Man’s face was tear-stained and ham-fisted, as if she was terrified
This time around, Xu Man was being genuine and didn’t even need to act, so the adjutant naturally couldn’t see the cracks
And although Xu Man’s clothes weren’t very flattering, it was still possible to see at a glance if she was carrying anything
Seeing that she was empty-handed and merely terrified, the adjutant lowered his guard and said to her, “Your husband has come to demand someone!”
Xu Wen gave an oh-so-quiet, “I’m sorry for the trouble I didn’t tell him when I came out”
She was still speaking with a tremor, she was truly scared at this moment
At the mention of Lu Yuanzheng, the adjutant didn’t look too good, glancing at Xu Man, his mouth moving but not saying anything
Xu Man instantly understood that Lu Yuanzheng had given them quite a bit of pressure outside
He guessed that the commotion on the deck just now was caused by Lu Yuanzheng and the others
Xu Man was brought to the door of the barn where he had come from, and the adjutant had the door opened: ”Sorry! I can’t keep you as a guest this time! But you’re welcome to come back next time!”
“Thank you for your hospitality, I had a great time Also I apologize for the trouble my husband’s misunderstanding caused you You have a large and beautiful ship, I hope I will have one like it in the future!”
The adjutant remembered that she had said she lacked a large cargo ship, and the corner of his mouth twitched without saying anything
Xu Wen reentered the houseboat and also got a good look at the two sides facing each other
The heavily armed Lu Yuanzheng had led his men to rappel directly from the cliff to the deck for a very good reason, to find his wife
Although he was heavily armed, he wasn’t wearing a uniform, and was followed by only three or four people
Xu Wen did not hide his entry into the Kaya, even the sentry saw it allowing Caster to play tricks
And Lu Yuanzheng said, at this moment only as a wife lost husband to talk to Caster, has nothing to do with the two armies
Both sides pointed their guns at each other and kept negotiating until Xu Man showed up
Caster pointed at Xu Man, “Look, I’m not lying Your wife, she’s just visiting us, and she’s here voluntarily”
Lu Yuanzheng swept Xu Man’s head down and let out a faintly unseen sigh of relief, “Is that so? Then why couldn’t you let her out just now?”
Caster thought to himself, “I’m standing here with you, how am I supposed to know why the adjutant didn’t come out for so long?
Xu Wen couldn’t hear their conversation and waved his hand towards Lu Yuanzheng, shouting, “Lu Yuanzheng, I’m fine Shall we go home?”
She thanked Caster again in English, saying that she thanked him for his hospitality
Lu Yuanzheng understood what Xu Wen meant and gestured
The soldier behind him, pulled out the dog’s paw that had been set in the Kaya and threw it backhandedly onto the boathouse, and several people slid into the cabin in turn
Lu Yuanzheng was the last, and said perfunctorily before disembarking, “It seems to be just a misunderstanding! It’s my abruptness, sorry!”
There was not the slightest trace of apology on his face
After saying that, he grabbed the rope with both hands, and with a long listen, he slid onto the houseboat at speed
The houseboat in front of the Kaya was about the same as a full moon baby lying in front of a two meter giant
As soon as Lu Yuanzheng got on the boat, he pulled Xu Qian inside the bamboo house and held her firmly, saying only, “It’s good to be back!”
He was actually choking on the magazines hanging from his chest, but Xu Qian could still hear his out-of-order heartbeat, and unable to care about the pain, she backhanded him and hugged him, “Scared the hell out of me!”
She was scared of a sheep in a tiger’s mouth, but Lu Yuanzheng was scared of losing her
“I’m sorry!” Xu Wen opened her mouth in a trembling voice
This time, Lu Yuanzheng didn’t say it was okay, and mumbled, “There’s no next time”
“Uh-huh”
One more time, she wouldn’t dare to go up even if she said anything
It was she who had overestimated her guts
“Lu Yuanzheng”
“In”
“I might have to faint”
Xu Man closed his eyes after saying that
“Xu Man?!” Lu Yuanzheng hugged Xu Man in panic, his face anxious, but he didn’t dare to just move her around
He gritted his teeth and glanced in the direction of the Kaya ship, if Xu Man had a mishap, he would definitely blow up the Kaya ship!
As soon as the ship reached the shore, Lu Yuanzheng rushed towards the shore with Xu Man in his arms
