Chapter 476 [Do you want to be a queen? 】

It is almost late autumn, but the wind on the sea is not very strong. When the sun rises, you will feel some warmth when standing on the second deck. For many people who are going to sea for the first time, as long as they survive the beginning of seasickness and do not encounter too much wind and waves, they will start to enjoy this romantic sea journey. △↗

Xiao Lu'er is no longer seasick anymore, and she can now have her own room and soft bed on the boat, and will no longer be thrown into the black warehouse under the deck. However, once she returns to the sea boat, she will still remind her of those terrible experiences; this is a painful memory that cannot be erased no matter how long it takes. Even if she tries to forget, those horrifying scenes will still pour into her head, making her scream with her head in her arms, making her scream with her voice shrill, making the sailors on the lower deck think that they had encountered the legendary sirens.

She wanted to stay in Qi State, stay with the wife of the country and the little prince; she just wanted to walk into Qi Palace every morning to collect flower dew for the little prince and tease him to play; she didn't want to return to the boat, even if the weather on the sea was actually very clear and the sun was very warm, and the people on the boat were very kind to her.

Because as long as she sees this huge fleet that lasts for several miles, she will think of her poor compatriots. Although life on the island is very bad, there are many poisonous insects and beasts. Everyone has no food to eat. In the cold winter, they will die in large quantities due to lack of food. Sometimes they have to fight with groups of wild wolves for a deer... But at that time, everyone was free. Since the Chinese fleet came to the island, her compatriots were killed and captured like animals. Not every tribe compatriot would be as lucky as her. From the wife of the country, many tribe warriors were taken to the coal mines of Qin. They were collecting coal for the Chinese.

Now this fleet is ten times larger than what she had seen before. It is full of food, craftsmen, and even fully armed soldiers. Xiao Luer is a smart child. During the period of staying in Qi Palace, she also learned to understand Chinese characters and simple arithmetics. She calculated briefly that this fleet had a total of sixty large ships, and each ship had four or five hundred craftsmen and soldiers. The number of people on any ship was greater than the most powerful tribe on the island...

Leading such a powerful force to his hometown, even if Bai Zi was the "good person" who had saved her, Xiao Lu'er dared not have any hope. She seemed to have seen her hometown filled with smoke and saw her compatriots who were taken to China like pigs and dogs. If she was the little deer before coming to China, she would not have any strange feeling. Because the survival of the jungle is the only truth she respects, but since she came to China to see the civilization of clothes, Xiao Lu'er now learned to close the doors and windows before taking a bath. When she was pooping, she would blush when she was born and died. She would be looked at by the inner officials in the palace... Now Xiao Lu'er is more beautiful and polite, but her mind has become softer than spring water. When she thinks of these, she can't help but she will cry. Suddenly, she thought of the terrible "good person" sitting in front of her, desperately trying to stop her tears, and her little face suddenly turned red.

"Sit down and eat a bowl of bean seedlings first. We have been on the sea for half a month. It's not possible to rely on food and water alone. We must eat some green things... try it? This is what I made by myself. I gave the flea lady a bowl and left you a bowl."

The ship Bai Dong was riding in was the "Bie Wine" created by the Bai family. Although it was also a two-story building ship, it was the tallest and largest. Although it was not as long as Zheng He's 88 zhang long, it was still available for 40 zhang. After he proposed the modern craft of embedded strong keels more than a thousand years in advance, as long as there were enough wooden boats, they could be built very large and not affected by the length of a single wood.

In addition to the extremely thin iron sheets covered by the hull, this bitter wine ship also has enough ballast, using "sail-slurry hybrid" to drive normally even in windless weather, and is extremely stable. As long as you don't encounter heavy wind and waves, Bai Dong can sit on the second deck to drink tea and watch the sea, ensuring that the tea in the cup will not spill out.

On the vine table in front of him, there was a pot of tea and a few snacks, and two bowls of salt-boiled bean seedlings. Bai Dong was holding a bowl and eating it. He looked up at the panic-faced deer and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid of me?"

"I, I... Ah snee!" Xiao Lu'er was very obedient. He sat down to eat Dou Miaoer after hearing Bai Dong's words. He was startled by him as soon as he ate one in his mouth and choked. Dou Miaoer poked his head out of his little nostrils. He looked as funny as he was.

"Not afraid..." She stroking her nose in a hurry. Xiao Lu'er quickly glanced at Bai Dong and then quickly lowered her head. It would be strange if she was not afraid...

"It's good if you're not afraid. I asked you from Mrs. Qi this time, not to make you afraid of me."

Bai Dong put down the empty bowl and pointed at the vast fleet with his fingers, "This time I brought sixty big ships. What do you want to put back? In addition to your compatriots, there are some things I need, such as gold and silver. These things originally belonged to you, the native Japanese people, but now China is more powerful, so your things are ours, and I will not be ruthless at all. Do you feel that I am unreasonable or even very cruel?"

The little deer looked up at Bai Dong and suddenly shook his head: "This happens every day on the island. The powerful wolf pack wants to eat the deer and the rabbit, but the warriors in our clan have the ability to kill those wolves and cut off their meat to eat. You are stronger than our tribe, and the warriors should work on you..."

"Haha, it seems that Mrs. Guo praised you without any mistake. It turns out that she is a smart little deer."

Bai Dong nodded with satisfaction: "It is rare to understand the principle of the survival of the weak at a young age. I heard from the wife of the country that you have read "Mozi" and "The Analects of Confucius". Recently, you love reading my "The Great Qin Times", right?"

"Um......"

"I am a smart girl. Mrs. Guo likes you very much. Even the mother of the book is optimistic about you. It seems that they are not wrong. Xiaolu'er is a very amazing person? Don't worry, the book is not a good person, and he never wants to kill all your compatriots. Now I may bring killings and plunders to your hometown, but I will also bring civilization. Do you know what civilization is? For you, a barbaric tribe, civilization is a gift that comes with swords. Now your tribe members will annoy me, anger me, hate me, and hate me. A hundred years later, they will worship me, respect me, and thank me, because the civilization brought by China is enough to clear away that little bit of hatred.

Xiao Lu'er didn't speak, she just listened quietly. This lucky girl was not just lucky, she was also very smart. During this time in China, she learned to read and began to learn the classics of various philosophers, understood what civilized clothing and clothing, and knew how etiquette was important. Even she herself didn't know it. In subtle way, she was no longer the native savage back then. She would sympathize with her hometown tribes only for more than ten years. But as she knew more and more words, she understood more and more truths, and she began to regard her hometown people as "savages", just like an ugly duckling who has transformed into a swan. It is one thing to have feelings for the ducks, but she will never return to the ducks... So Xiao Lu'er can understand and agree with some of Bai Dong's words now, but she is still in a conflicted mood, so she can only remain silent.

"Your hometown has been named 'Japanese Island' by me. Sooner or later, it will become a subsidiary, human resources and a transport of resources to China. However, I do not want to see a chaotic Japan covered with savages; so Japan needs a king, and this king wants to bring them order and civilization and new life. Are you willing to be their queen?"

"What?"

The little deer widened her eyes and her mouth was so big that she could swallow Bai Dong in one bite. She learned a lot of knowledge in China, and of course she knew what the "king" represents. How powerful the king of Qi is. If she gets angry, she can throw the ministers directly into the cauldron to cook, but even he is not the "king"... Bai Zi... Bai Zi actually asked herself if she wanted to be the queen of Japan?

"If you want, I will let you be the queen of Japan, are you interested?"
