On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The second year of Shenghui, early May.

Along the coast of Liaodong, spring is deepening, and the sea breeze is salty and warm.

At a simple dock that was temporarily repaired and expanded on the west side of Pyongyang, there were far more people gathered today than usual.

Not only were there Daqian's soldiers and craftsmen, but also many Goguryeo civilians who had heard the news and had been ordered to observe from a safe distance. The air was filled with an irrepressible restlessness and anticipation.

The reason was simple: according to rumors, a massive supply fleet from the Wuqing Industrial Zone in the empire's homeland would arrive today. This would undoubtedly be a vital blood supply for the expeditionary forces.

Murong Yan and Lin Zhen stood side by side on a high observation deck at the pier.

The view here is excellent, and you can overlook the vast sea horizon in the west without any obstruction.

That black and gold Su brocade cotton nightgown with the pattern of "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" - the dress in which the divine phoenix descends to the earth.

The sea breeze was so strong that her clothes fluttered and her hair flew.

In the bright coastal sky and slightly moist sea breeze, the Phoenix Dress presents a magnificent beauty that is different from either the palaces on land or the bloody battlefields.

The extremely black Su Jin base material becomes deeper under the sunlight, as if it can absorb the entire sea surface's waves. The golden cotton wool and real gold thread woven into it reflect the jumping, bright glow like broken gold, which complements the sparkling sea surface.

On the nightgown, the pattern of a giant phoenix holding up the sky seems as if it is ready to take off at any time in the whistling sea breeze and soar between the blue sea and blue sky, full of the majestic momentum of controlling the vast sea.

The wide flared sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the gold tassels on the cuffs danced, so she had to use her hands to hold them back from time to time.

The black jade ring on her left thumb shone with a deep luster in the sunlight.

And the five-meter-long Su Jin tail encountered a new challenge here - the sea breeze.

Blown by the strong wind, the train could no longer lay out quietly like it did indoors, but was blown into a messy curl and dance, sometimes brushing across the rough wooden floor of the lookout tower, and sometimes even lifted up by the wind, undulating like ink-gold waves.

This dynamic disorder caused by the power of nature adds a sense of willfulness and dominance, as if the dress originally belonged to the vast universe.

The lightness of the cotton and the comfort of the nightgown allowed her to stand in the sea breeze for a long time without feeling restrained.

Lin Zhen stood beside her, wearing a dark blue suit and a windproof cloak.

He looked at the sea level with sharp eyes, while one of his hands was always firmly supported on Murong Yan's waist, which showed intimacy and provided support for her to stand firmly in the wind at this high altitude.

"Husband, do you see the shadow of a ship over there?" Murong Yan suddenly raised her hand and pointed to where the sea and the sky met, with a barely perceptible excitement in her voice.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, trying hard to distinguish the scene in the distance.

Lin Zhen looked intently in the direction she pointed. After a moment, a smile curled up his lips. "Yes, it's a fleet! Judging from the number of masts and their size, they must be supply ships from Wuqing."

As time went by, the black spot on the sea surface gradually became clearer and larger.

First, there were forests of masts, and then the huge hull broke through the waves and appeared in everyone's sight.

One, two, five, ten, a total of fifteen huge ships, lined up in a spectacular array, with full sails, like moving mountains, slowly sailing towards the dock!

These ships far surpassed the common warships of Goguryeo and even the Daqian Navy in the past. They had tall hulls and solid structures. The black muzzles of guns were faintly visible on the sides. The holy phoenix flag fluttered on the bow, rustling in the sunlight, proclaiming the unquestionable imperial authority!

"Here they come! Here they come! Really here!" The Daqian soldiers at the dock erupted in cheers, their faces brimming with pride and joy. Sufficient supplies meant greater combat effectiveness and a more secure rear.

Further away, the Goguryeo civilians who were allowed to watch from a safe distance were completely stunned by the scene before them.

When had they ever seen such a large and majestic fleet?

In their understanding, the largest ship is just a fishing boat for near-shore fishing.

This huge ship, like a castle on the sea, was completely beyond their imagination!

"Oh my god, what is that?"

"It's a ship? Where in the world is there such a big ship?"

"It's a god! It must be the God of the Sea! Or it could be a divine soldier summoned by the Emperor of the Celestial Empire!"

"Kneel down! Kneel down and pay homage to the gods!"

I don't know who shouted first, but the voice spread quickly like a plague.

Hundreds and thousands of Goguryeo people, facing the sea and the huge fleet, knelt down in fear, kowtowed frequently, muttered to themselves, and prayed for the gods' protection.

They mixed their fear of the unknown power with their complicated feelings about Murong Yan's previous "kindness and power", turning it into the most primitive awe and worship.

On the observation deck, Murong Yan had a panoramic view of it all.

She looked at the fleet that represented the empire's powerful industrial strength and logistical support, then looked at the people kneeling in the distance, and a meaningful arc appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She turned her head and said to Lin Zhen with a hint of teasing and pride in her tone: "Husband, look at them, they think our boat is a fairy."

Her voice was not loud, but it reached Lin Zhen's ears clearly.

Lin Zhen also nodded with a smile and whispered, "The might of the empire is beyond the imagination of ordinary people on the border. This scene can deter evildoers and stabilize people's hearts."

Murong Yan nodded with satisfaction.

She took a few steps forward, closer to the edge of the lookout, letting the sea breeze play with her cheeks and dress.

The dark golden tail was dancing wildly in the wind behind her, but she didn't care.

She raised her hand as if to touch the approaching fleet, her phoenix eyes gleaming with ambition and satisfaction.

"With these supplies, Pyongyang, the entire territory of Goguryeo, and even further afield, will be firmly in my hands."

She whispered to herself, but it seemed as if she was talking to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen walked behind her and gently put his arm around her shoulders, shielding her from the strong wind. "Yes, Yan'er. The empire's territory will surely expand to an unprecedented extent because of you."

Murong Yan felt the warmth and firmness of his embrace, leaned back slightly, and leaned on his chest in dependence.

She watched as the fleet slowly entered the harbor, began to drop anchor, lowered the gangway, and boxes of supplies and teams of spirited reinforcements began to land in an orderly manner.

The entire dock suddenly became busy and full of vitality.

"Husband," she suddenly remembered something, raised her head, rested her chin on his chest, blinked her eyes, and asked in a coquettish tone: "Did you bring some delicious food from Wuqing this time? I'm tired of the food here."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but laugh. He looked down at her innocent appearance and scratched her nose lovingly. "Little greedy cat, of course I brought some. There are your favorite candied fruits and preserved fruits, as well as the new tribute spring tea. I have asked someone to carefully store them. I will bring them to you when I get back."
