342. The Disappearing Lover

After arranging personnel to send letters to Mavie, he asked him to leave some reliable people to guard the Triangle Siege, he immediately transferred the main force to New Amsterdam. We don’t need to guard the house for that guy Rolyn, right?

The return journey was quite smooth. Since it was already winter in the northern hemisphere, the number of storms was greatly reduced and the safety was greatly improved.

But while it was safe, our speed was also greatly reduced due to the decrease in wind speed. It took only more than a month to come, but it took nearly two and a half months to return!

When I saw the land of the British Isles, the weather was already extremely cold, and the sea breeze blew on my face like a knife cut. According to the perpetual calendar, it was the Little New Year when I arrived in London.

Because after I arrived in Portsmouth, I was soaking at sea for a long time, from sailors and handymen to myself, I was already unkempt and dirty, so I was not suitable for a classy place.

So I ordered to repair it on the spot for three days and sent someone to contact the British naval military in advance, saying that I would arrive in London in about six days.

During these three days, I was almost driven crazy by the damn rainy weather in the UK! I really don’t understand the mentality of those sailors who were going to the smelly bar to drink in the rain, but I guess they were full and didn’t know that the hungry man was hungry, just because of the different positions.

Sitting in the living room of the lodge house in the port "Lao Meier's House", I cooked a pot of plum wine, and chatted with a few people without a single match. The snacks provided by the lodge house are delicious, not too sweet, but they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and have a good taste.

Adicen said that among the nearby countries, the slowest pace of life is probably the UK. After staying here for a long time, I am afraid that even my personality will slow down.

We couldn't help laughing. I even thought seriously and said half-truely, "I shouldn't stay in this place where the sun is not visible all year round." If I want to retire in the future, I will pack up a piece of 100 acres of land in Manhattan and build a villa for myself."

Everyone couldn't help laughing. It's not that they haven't been to Manhattan. Who would want to go to a place where birds don't shit?

I couldn't help but smile without saying a word. What do these guys know? Where can I think of the future world financial center?

Of course, what they said is true. At least in the next few hundred years, there will still be a relatively underdeveloped area, but the environment is better.

Who knows? Destiny is too difficult to figure out, let’s take a look while walking.

Three days passed in a flash. On the morning of the fourth day, the continuous rain finally stopped. We pulled up the sails again and prepared to set sail.

This time it took only two days to go, and it was just a short while. Through the English Channel where ships were flying, we turned into the Thames on the morning of the third day and headed far towards the port pier.

Several small ships appeared in front of us, with royal flags hanging on them. When we saw us coming, we led the way forward. The posture reminded me of the convoy that drove the way forward when the leader of the previous life visited.

Along the banks of the Thames, we have seen countless gatherings. Suddenly, we remembered that today seemed to be Sunday. These people seemed to be coming to greet them. I didn’t expect that they were so powerful!

When we slowly sent a trip to the port at Canary Wharf, the band that had already gathered here began to play the triumphal music!

Wayne Nash next to him said excitedly: "Captain! This is the queen's welcome ceremony! There is the queen's guard over there, this is the highest-standard welcome ceremony! Oh! I didn't expect that I could actually serve in such a team. It's such an honor!"

I laughed twice and said, "You're doing a good job, Wayne, if you want, you can also work with me for a long time."

A trace of excitement flashed in Wayne Nash's eyes, then calmed down and saluted me sincerely: "I will report to my superiors! But that's equivalent to being out of military status... This is also the premise for better service!"

I nodded, and did not say more, but patted him on the shoulder.

When we put down the ladder and walked off the dock from the boat, Jack Bravo came first to greet me, and gave me a handshake gift between gentlemen and nobles with both hands, and laughed and said, "Hisser Earl! Welcome your triumph!"

Of course, I smiled all over my face and praised each other. Jack Bravo said a few words, and immediately took us and walked towards the Queen's carriage where the flags lie behind.

Soon, I met Queen Elizabeth I of England under heavy protection, and Isabel who had not seen her for a long time and had an excited look on her face.

At this time, the two of them were smiling at me, and I walked up to me with respect in peace and respect, bowed and said loudly: "Earl of Pasival Sun Qilan has returned from the Xinda Mainland, and I will report to you!"

The queen stood up with a graceful smile and took a step forward. She should have raised her hands flat and signaled me to stand up - because the minister should bow to him on one knee, but I bowed and bowed, which made her not very adaptable.

But considering my honorary Count, it seems nothing wrong for me to do so, so I continued to smile and said in her unique way: "My warrior! Your deeds have been sung on the land of England! Your bravery will become a role model for the knights! Welcome back!"

She paused and continued, "My Warrior! I'm very pleased that you can come back safely!" When she said this, her voice was much lower, and it seemed that the personal meaning was stronger.

I immediately bowed and saluted again and said, "It is my honor to be able to serve you! Her Majesty the Queen!"

Elizabeth I said happily: "Oh! Is it? Do you really think so?"

I said in amazement: "That's natural"!

Elizabeth I smiled again in his eyes, and then said to me: "I have heard Raleigh say about your great deeds, but I still want to listen to you again? After all, I know myself best, right?"

I smiled and said, "I hope you can give me such a chance! Her Majesty the Queen!"

The queen immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Tonight, I will prepare a welcome reception for you at Westminster Palace! You will naturally have the opportunity to report!"

I immediately bowed and replied.

Next was the not-too-long welcome ceremony. When the Queen faced the London citizens who came to watch the ceremony, she preached the commendation of me in a passionate tone and the fact that the great England was the chosen country. It was very incitement and the London citizens cheered.

After the grand welcome ceremony, the Queen's ceremonial guard naturally returned to Westminster Palace, and I returned to the villa located in Stamford Bridge.

I was really anxious. When I came back this time, what I wanted to know the most was Yuan’s situation. I don’t know how this silly girl is doing. Has it improved? And I also brought her a lot of gifts from Xinda Lu, and of course, there are gifts to Lan.

But when I entered the door, the butler was already waiting for me at the door. He was full of excitement when he saw me, but at the same time, there seemed to be a ray of unspeakable melancholy on his face.

My face slowly cooled down, but an indescribable bad thought suddenly emerged in my heart!

No! No! No! I must not! So, I almost trembled and asked, "Where is Yuan? Where is Yuan?"

While speaking, the cold sweat broke out behind me, and I was even a little resistant to hearing this answer.

The housekeeper looked at me with a silence, and finally bowed to me and took out a letter from his arms.

He said helplessly: "Sir Earl, this is the letter Miss Yuan left to you before leaving..."

When I heard this, my heart was half filled with sea water, half flame, half thanks, and half sad.

Yuan is not dead! It seems to be awake! But why is she leaving? It seems that the answer is in that letter!

In desperation, I returned to my room and almost trembled my hands and opened the letter that exuded a slight fragrance.

Sitting at the head of the bed, I quietly read the farewell letter from this kite.

"I love Qi Lan!" As the desk wrote this, my heart suddenly became tight, making me miss this silly girl even more.

"I never dare to call you like this in front of me! But this has been suppressing my heart for a long time! Do you know?"

Seeing this, my heart felt warm again. This idiot is always so subtle and doesn’t say anything!

"Since West Africa was in danger, I was in a coma. But I could hear everything! I know, you ran around for me and seek medical treatment everywhere for me! I am very grateful!"

Thank you, don’t run away! Why leave!

"I know you are blaming me for leaving without saying goodbye, but I have my own difficulties. Qi Lan."

...

"It seems that there are two completely different energy in my body burning, hot and cold! I know that these two energy saved my life, but it is also because of this energy that prevents me from waking up."

What exactly happened? Silly guy! You said it!

"After you left, suddenly one day I woke up! Yes, I opened my eyes and saw the world again! I thought I would never have this opportunity again!"

"Yes, I woke up, but I found that I was unaware of my neck! I couldn't control my arms, legs, and nothing!"

"The doctor said that this is a sequelae after recovery. It may take some time, but how long does it take? No one can explain it clearly. I am happy and sad, so complicated!"

"Lan is with me every day and does rehabilitation training as the doctor gave me, but it never works. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm full of energy, but I can't raise any control over my body!"

"Three months, three months, I came here like this. Because I didn't exercise for a long time, I was even afraid that I would wither! I don't want you to see me like this! I don't want to do anything!"

"So I left! Arashi was with me, and there were some people who had been with me since Iga. They would take care of me until I recovered!"

"The world is so big, maybe there is somewhere, maybe I will be fine one day! When that day, I will definitely come back to find you! You can't want me!"

"Qi Lan! In the final analysis, I still hope you can be good! You are the one who wants to do big things and can't be dragged down by me. So after all, I still hope you will be better when I leave!"

"I want to accompany you every day, every night, and accompany you to every corner of the world! Qi Lan!"

"It's a pity that I don't have this life. Don't you always say that people don't fight with each other! This is also a sentence I have to believe now."

"Miss Li is very good, I am very jealous of her! But there is no way, she is indeed the most suitable person for you! Cherish her!"

"I suddenly remembered the two poems you often recited before: The sadness of parting and tears of bitterness in the night, and the silent painting of mirror frost on the opposite side is also a true portrayal of our today!"

"Okay, let's get to this place! Take care of yourself. Qi Lan. You are the best! Love you! Don't worry!"
