Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Sister Ke, welcome back!" Shuang'er also greeted from the side.

"Sister Shuang'er, you are here too?" A Ke said excitedly.

"Well, I have always been with my husband and never left." Shuang'er replied.

After the excitement of the reunion, A Ke still asked Shuang'er: "Sister Shuang'er, was it really you who carried Xiaobao back from the coffin?"

Shuang'er looked at A Ke and nodded, then said calmly: "My husband was faking his death that day, and he woke up the next day. I heard the noise, so I carried him home and wiped his body. My husband was very weak at the time, and he lay in bed for more than ten days before getting out of bed."

Ah Ke was so moved by Shuang'er's words that tears welled up in her eyes. She held Shuang'er's hand tightly and said, "Shuang'er, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, we might never see him again."

Shuang Er smiled and shook her head and said, "This is all arranged by God. If it weren't for me, maybe someone else would have come to save my husband. As long as my husband is still alive, everything is worth it."

A Ke nodded. Although she believed Shuang'er's words, the doubts in her heart were not resolved, so she continued: "But have you noticed that Xiaobao has changed a lot? Not only is his martial arts skills very strong, but he no longer has the aura of a gangster. He has become unfathomable."

After hearing this, Su Quan smiled and said, "He can now marry the Japanese empress as his eighth wife. Compared to before, he is completely different. He is so arrogant!"

"Eighth Madam?" A Ke asked puzzledly.

At this time, a soft voice sounded: "Sister Ke is so beautiful!"

A Ke took a closer look and saw a well-behaved girl standing behind Shuang'er. Her eyes were as clear and moving as autumn water, her skin was as white as snow, and she looked like a fairy from heaven.

A Ke thought to herself that Xiao Bao still hadn't changed his philandering ways, but she smiled and said, "Are you Xiao Ba?"

"Sister Lingzhao greets Sister Ke!" Lingzhao said after bowing to A Ke.

A Ke looked at the well-behaved and lovely girl in front of her, and a feeling of fondness welled up in her heart. She smiled and nodded, motioning Ling Zhao to get up.

Then, A Ke took Ling Zhao's hand and asked softly, "How old is your sister this year?"

Ling Zhao lowered his head shyly and replied, "Sister, I am already seventeen years old."

A Ke smiled gently and said, "Then we will be good sisters from now on, so don't be so reserved."

After hearing this, Ling Zhao smiled with joy and nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, Wei Xiaobao was taking Chen Yuanyuan, Li Zicheng and Hu Yizi to visit the Yangtze River cruiser.

This huge warship amazed them all, especially Li Zicheng, who said with deep emotion: "Little devil, if I had you guys back then, there would be no Manchu Tartars today."

However, Hu Yizi could not help but ridicule Li Zicheng: "Huang Zao'er, you are a shepherd, you should be content with having enough food for a few days. You can't even read a few words, but you still want to learn how to make guns and cannons from others. You are so flattering!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately furious, but he still suppressed his anger and retorted: "You know a lot of words, but you are still alone. Look at my Xiaobao, he has such a big warship, what do you have?" Hu Yizi was speechless after what Li Zicheng said, and could only glare at him angrily.

At this time, Captain Li Bing of Ship 101 came to ask whether to set sail. Wei Xiaobao instructed: "Return to Jinxia!"

Let us go back to three days ago, the scene then was unforgettable.

Mao Shiba, the naval commander of the Tiandi Army, sat in the command cabin of the 202 Qinglong, followed closely by three brand-new 2500-ton ironclad ships and three 3000-ton ironclad transport ships. These ships shone with a cold light under the sunlight, as if foreshadowing the upcoming battle.

This was an important strategic supply operation, and Mao Shiba personally led the team to deliver the supplies. He also very much wanted to come to Jinxia to meet the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Fleet.

The transport ships were loaded with various weapons, ammunition, food, and clothing, enough to equip an army of 30,000 people.

It is worth mentioning that the new ironclad not only increased its displacement by 500 tons, but also installed two sets of advanced torpedo launchers at the front and rear. Each set of devices contained six powerful torpedoes, so that each ironclad had a full torpedoes on standby at any time.

The advent of torpedoes marked a major change in the way naval warfare was conducted. It no longer relied on the blind bombardment of traditional cannons, but focused on precise strikes, leaving the enemy nowhere to escape. The introduction of this new weapon undoubtedly brought greater advantages to the Tiandi Army.

In Jinxia Port, soldiers on the lookout reported that a fleet flying the flag of the Heaven and Earth Army appeared in the distance.

Zhang Xiaolong, commander of the Eastern Fleet, immediately realized that the long-awaited ironclad ships and transport ships had arrived. They brought much-needed weapons and supplies, which would provide strong support for the next battle.

"Woo--" As the whistle of the fleet sounded in the distance, the originally noisy dock became quiet in an instant. The dock was filled with welcoming officers and soldiers of the Eastern Fleet. They were neatly arranged into square formations and stood in formation on the dock according to the newly planned fleet organization, looking forward to the fleet entering the port.

Not long after, an ironclad ship numbered 202 appeared on the sea, followed by three ironclad ships numbered 251, 252, and 253 and ironclad transport ships numbered 551, 552, and 553. They slowly sailed into the port like steel behemoths, causing huge splashes.

When the soldiers on the dock saw these mighty warships, they couldn't help but cheer thunderously.

They knew that these six giant ships would become a new starting point for the Eastern Fleet to conquer the East China Sea and the South China Sea. From now on, they would no longer be the weak navy that could not even defeat pirates, but the maritime overlord that could sweep across the deep blue.

After the ironclad ship No. 202 docked, the naval commander Mao Shiba, wearing a brand new white naval uniform, stood at the bow in a heroic manner. He waved to the officers and soldiers on the dock, and then calmly got off the ship's side.

Zhang Xiaolong was extremely excited when he saw Commander Qi personally coming to Jinxia to deliver equipment. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Stand at attention!" The sound echoed throughout the entire dock.

As the command was shouted, the originally noisy dock suddenly became silent, and all the noise stopped abruptly.

Zhang Xiaolong rushed forward and trotted all the way to Commander Mao. He stood steadily, then raised his right hand and gave Commander Mao a standard and solemn military salute.
