Chapter 374 A group of people who work hard but get no reward

Early in the morning of September 12, the courtyard of Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang became lively.

Lu Jintang was dressed in military uniform, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his stern face was shrouded in the morning mist, making his eyebrows and eyes look even more profound.

His hand gently stroked the sword at his waist, and the carvings on the scabbard flickered faintly in the dim light. It was the inheritance of family glory and the embodiment of his belief in protecting his country.

Outside the courtyard, 300 soldiers of the Royal Guards lined up in neat rows, their armor shining coldly in the morning light. Wild horses pawed their hooves restlessly, neighing lowly. The air was filled with the tense atmosphere of an impending war.

"Ah Xi, the journey ahead is long and arduous, and you are in this situation now, so you must be careful." Lu Jintang turned around and held Yang Mingxi's hand. The tenderness and reluctance in his eyes were like the warm spring sun, instantly dispelling the chill around them.

Yang Mingxi held back her tears and tried to force a smile, "Don't worry, I'm at home. I will protect our baby, our home, and the people here, and wait for your safe return." Her voice was firm and warm, which gave Lu Jintang endless strength.

Lu Jintang leaned over and hugged Yang Mingxi in his arms, patted her lower abdomen, and turned to leave.

Looking at Lu Jintang's departing back until he disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Yang Mingxi took a deep breath and turned around to return to her busy life.

She knew very well that although she could not go to the battlefield, she could provide a stable rear area for Lu Jintang and provide solid material support for his victory.

Outside the courtyard, the moonlight that had not yet set shone on Old Master Lu, Father Lu, and Old Fourth Lu. They stood in front of a group of mighty soldiers, like three indestructible mountains.

When they saw Lu Jintang walking towards them in military uniform with a heroic look, they all showed smiles of relief and approval on their faces, and then nodded heavily.

Old Master Lu picked up a bowl of wine and drank it without hesitation, then slammed the bowl to the ground with a crisp shattering sound. This throw seemed to be the release of his lofty ambitions and a firm support for Lu Jintang's expedition.

Seeing this, Lu Jintang, like Old Master Lu, picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then smashed the bowl with the same force.

At this moment, there were no extra words, but the sound of broken wine bowls was better than a thousand words, conveying their inner determination and courage.

Seeing this, the other soldiers followed suit, picking up their wine bowls, drinking them all in one gulp, and then smashing them to pieces. This series of actions was so coordinated and majestic that it seemed as if the whole world was shaken by their heroic spirit.

With the sound of the last wine bowl breaking, Lu Jintang led his soldiers to mount their horses. The wild horses under his crotch galloped away like arrows from a bow. They passed through the cave outside the courtyard and headed straight for the seashore.

At the seaside, waves beat against the shore, creating layers of white foam.

Lu Qin stood next to a huge ship, which he had built with his own hands.

Its towering masts reach into the sky, and its broad hull is like a moving castle.

Lu Dashan stood at the bow, directing the crew to continuously load food, fodder, medicinal herbs, various raw materials, and spare wild horses onto the ship. Each wave of supplies was handled with meticulous care, demonstrating their efficiency and professionalism.

In the cockpit and engine room of the large ship, more than 20 professional crew members were concentrating on manipulating various handles and oars. Their movements were skillful and precise, and every action appeared so confident and decisive.

Their eyes were fixed on the sea, not daring to relax at all, because they knew that any small mistake could lead to serious consequences.

"Knock knock knock", a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the cockpit. Lu Dashan turned around and saw that the moving work had been completed. Everyone was standing neatly by the cabin, waiting for his next instructions.

"Here they come!" Lu Dashan shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty cabin with an unquestionable majesty, "Everyone get ready and check whether the pedals are stable!" His words were short and powerful, and could not be ignored.

Upon hearing the order, several soldiers acted quickly. Like well-trained soldiers, they quickly checked the pedals they were responsible for. Each pedal was carefully checked to ensure that there was nothing loose or damaged.

At the same time, Lu Jintang and his group also arrived at the beach.

They stood in the distance, quietly gazing at the busy figures of Lu Dashan and the crew, and a deep respect welled up in their hearts.

Lu Jintang walked towards Lu Qin. When he reached him, their eyes met. He smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Although these three words are short, they are full of his gratitude and respect for Lu Qin.

Seeing this, Lu Qin quickly waved his hand, a humble smile on his face, and responded, "No, no, I just did what I could. Compared to you, I'm really far behind! I hope you take care of yourself."

Although his voice was not loud, the sincerity and respect it revealed could not be concealed.

Lu Jintang nodded slightly to show his approval of Lu Qin.

He knew that Lu Qin was a down-to-earth man who disliked empty talk. So he turned to face the sea, gazing into the distance, and suddenly a surge of heroic emotion welled up in his heart.

Although this voyage is full of unknowns and challenges, Lu Jintang firmly believes that with the joint efforts of these experienced and professional crew members, they will be able to reach their destination smoothly.

Lu Qin looked at Lu Jintang in a daze. He had never expected that after suffering such a heavy blow, Lu Jintang and even the entire Lu family did not choose to retreat and escape as he had expected, but bravely faced the difficulties and continued to move forward.

When Lu Jintang hurriedly found him and said in a serious face that he wanted to complete the shipbuilding project ahead of schedule and personally lead his own guards to the battlefield to rescue the people trapped on the border, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

He thought to himself that this was no small matter.

The shipbuilding project is huge and requires a lot of time and energy, and completing it ahead of schedule means putting in more effort. However, looking at Lu Jintang's determined eyes and eager expression, he knew that she had made up her mind.

While he was tirelessly urging the craftsmen to speed up the shipbuilding process, he was also closely monitoring the situation of the Lu family.

What he didn't expect was that no one in the Lu family objected to Lu Jintang's decision. Instead, they were all actively cooperating in fundraising.

This discovery deeply moved him, and some of his preconceived notions about the Nanling Kingdom began to waver. He realized that the Nanling Kingdom's emperor might not be as cold and selfish as he had previously imagined. Otherwise, why would such kind-hearted people like the Lu family fight for him?

After working day and night, the sea trial was finally a complete success on September 6th.

Today, they are about to officially set off, carrying this group of "thankless people" to a battlefield full of unknowns and dangers.

Lu Jintang stood at the bow, gazing into the distance, and nodded slightly in response to his gesture. Then, he made a dashing gesture and was the first to ride his wild horse, galloping onto the cabin like an arrow from a string.

Immediately afterwards, one man and one horse, two men and two horses... more and more soldiers followed closely and boarded the cabin.

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, the sound of trumpets was loud, and the ship slowly sailed into the vast ocean.

As the ship sailed further and further away, the sky gradually turned pale, and the dawn light sprinkled on the sea, making the waves sparkle and it was beautiful beyond words.
