It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Perhaps in the entire history of the Hualan Empire, there has never been such an excessive powerful minister. He was so rude to Her Majesty the Queen in public. If there was no one here, would you be furious?

But they can only pretend not to see it, and at most cry out to their ancestors in their hearts.

Dongfang Xiao's face turned red again. How could this person be so presumptuous!

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt like crying but had no tears. After all, she was the one who had provoked him. What else could she say after he became like this...

After struggling a few times and failing to get free, she simply followed Xu Shi's lead - she had no strength left. Going from the imperial study to the bedroom yesterday and being able to attend court today were both great achievements for her.

Oh, by the way, there is also a cute crown mark on the back of her right hand.

Those who understand will know what this is.

"Evil thoughts increase entropy", and the closed loop is completed.

She couldn't stand up, and it was Xu Shi who talked about the next thing.

It's mainly about some details of the empire's industrialization - in fact, the timing of going back was quite bad, as it happened to be when they were preparing to lay tracks and build trains.

It’s also a big step.

However, the corresponding personnel and technology are already in place, and it is very easy for them to make this kind of thing since they come from the City of Night Sin.

Including ships - it is said that it took Sin City overnight only a short time to regain its navigation technology, but it was more than enough to teach the people of the Hualan Empire.

After that, both sides will have safer and faster ships, and it will become much easier to travel between them and even expand and explore outward.

Under this premise, even if people thought Xu Shi was arrogant, they had to admit that this guy had some skills.

In a subtle atmosphere, Xu Shi and his party spent the last part of their time in the Hualan Empire.

On the eve of departure.

The streets are deserted.

Not only did the royal family give him enough face as the regent, Dongfang Xiao personally led people to see him off, and many people also came spontaneously to see him off.

It's just in the capacity of the Cat Patriarch - the common people may not recognize any regent, but the Cat Patriarch who benefits the country and the people is enough for them to be grateful to for the rest of their lives.

It seemed that without realizing it, everyone here could not live without him.

Looking at the magnificent scene below, Boss Xu was a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the past.

But in the end, he just waved his hand and shouted the same lines.

"Raise the sails and set sail!"

Chapter 319 How come you are more skilled than me?

go home slightly.

Driving on the return journey, looking at the surrounding scenery, Xu Shi was filled with emotion.

The scenery itself is nothing special, the same unchanging dark sky and sea, but it gives people a different feeling.

The most intuitive thing is the stability of the route - he has not been drifting on the sea for more than a year, but during this period of time, the City of Night Sin and the Hualan Empire have already established mature exchanges.

Be it trade or talent, a lot of exchanges have been carried out relying on this route.

Of course, the route itself had been upgraded long ago - I have to say that Yu Xingchuan was still capable. She had been put in charge of surveying and mapping before, and now, thanks to her efforts, everyone no longer had to drift and grope around on the sea like headless flies.

I remember that it took me about a month to get here in the first place, but now it only takes about ten days.

"What are you sad about?"

In a trance, someone patted his shoulder lightly. When he turned around, it was Xia Ke'an.

It's rare to see Xia Ke'an in the mature lady form.

"Why are you willing to change back?"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I can't pat your shoulder otherwise."

The old lady smiled and said, "Besides, our CEO Xu is so busy, it's not easy to find time to talk to you alone."

As she spoke, she patted Xu Shi on the shoulder several times as if to make up for it.

Xu Shi burst out laughing, and suddenly felt that she was so cute - but she was not wrong, if she was really in the form of a little loli, she would probably have to jump to do this.

“It’s unfair.”

Hearing the other party's accusations, Boss Xu raised his hands in surrender.

Why do I sound like a little nagging woman... Why wouldn't I accompany you guys?

To be honest, after the final battle, Xia Wuyou's injuries were not serious, but they were not light either - after all, he was injured in the fight with SS. It would be a problem if he was not hurt at all.

So she basically spent this period of time recuperating from her injuries, and has only now basically recovered.

Xia Ke'an has always been the one taking care of her, and Xu Shi would visit her whenever he had time - he was not the kind of person who would do anything for him, not to mention how great a contribution Xia Xiaomao had made this time.

If she hadn't held Cheng Gujian back to buy time for Old Man Wen to show up, the entire army might have been wiped out.

We should worship her as our ancestor, how could she be as despicable as the white-haired queen says?

"Are you wronged?"

Xia Ke'an insisted, "Oh, I understand. Now that you have another daughter, you are tired of the old and love the new. I also heard that you and that little queen..."

"..."

Xu Shi finally understood what was going on and was waiting for him there.

What's the use of calling her a complaining woman or not? To put it bluntly, she is just jealous. It's the old lady who is jealous.

That's normal. Before, she was the only one who could use the name Odosan. Now that there's one more person to share it with, of course she's not happy.

As for Dongfang Xiao...even though he was the only one staying overnight in the palace, rumors would spread all over the place in no time.

Even if she stayed at home, she couldn't stop the wind from blowing into her ears.

"Oh? Another daughter?"

Xu Shi chose to retreat in order to advance, and began to play dumb, "How come I didn't know that I already had a daughter? Who is my daughter?"

"...He is a fool who threw his sincerity into the water."

Xia Ke'an didn't accept the challenge and responded calmly.

Want to see me mad? Not happening!

Do you really think I'm a little girl who has no experience in the world?

But I really feel jealous, and it's a very complicated kind of jealousy.

She was different from Xu Ying. She called him dad just to be joking, not like that fool who really treated him as an elder.

But it's true that I feel unhappy. How could a guy suddenly appear out of nowhere and take up my unique title?

She is also jealous of Dongfang Xiao. In this regard, everyone is jealous of everyone equally, especially newcomers like the little empress.

unhappy!

"How can I?"

Xu Shi stopped teasing her and held her in his arms for a long time. "Let's go. The wind is strong on the sea. Let's go play cards with Wuyou?"

"...That's pretty much it."

The old lady softened and went along with it.

She wasn't really angry. After being together for such a long time, she knew Xu Shi very well. This guy was just like that. But he wouldn't really forget his old love just because he had a new one.

What's more, she also knew that Xu Shi's feelings for the two of them were not that deep. If the latecomer didn't feel fresh, then he would have no advantage at all.

But you still have to be jealous. The crying child gets the milk, and the woman who acts coquettishly has the best life.

Xia Ke'an, who was far ahead in mental age, was well aware of this and happily pulled Xu Shi to play cards.

Interestingly, playing cards is an exclusive entertainment activity for the three of them.

That was how it was when she was paralyzed in bed, and it has been an unspoken signal ever since.

But the current scene is very funny, the person lying on the bed has become Xia Wuyou.

"You are here."

Facing the light in the cabin, Xia Xiaomao's face was still a little pale, his tone was pitiful, and he looked very resentful.

It is obvious that he had colluded with his aunt beforehand and used pitifulness as the theme today.

"Come and see our great hero."

Boss Xu played it straight, and started with a loving kiss, "How is your recovery going?"

"almost."

When facing Xu Shi, Xia Wuyou always loses his skill in a second, and his face turns red instantly, "What's the point of talking about meritorious service or not? Cheng Gujian was holding back at that time... otherwise I wouldn't be his opponent."

"You can't say that. After all, you tried your best to stop him."

Xu Shi said seriously, "Who else can do this except you?"

"Isn't this what we agreed on..."

Little Xia Xiaomao muttered, "I said I would be the sword in your hand, and this sword will never rust."

As they talked, the two of them started to eat together as if no one was around.

Seeing this scene, the old lady was so angry that she wanted to hiccup.

Xia Wuyou! You...how can this be the sword in someone else's hand? Is this your sword or not? !

My plan was all good. I was going to leave this bastard alone for a while and then decide whether to have rice bowl for dinner based on his performance. But you betrayed me in a second, right?

Hello, yes.

This is the confidence that "Evil Thoughts Entropy Increase" brings her.

Having seeds and not having seeds are really two different situations, not to mention someone like Xia Wuyou who has been deeply rooted in this.
