Chapter 315 Returning Home
The people of the Eastern Roman Empire were still packing the gems, and although Queen Theodora felt humiliated, she did not leave.
After failing to obtain any magic-related items, she took away a large number of gems as her last act of stubbornness.
But she also knew in her heart that from now on, she would live in regret and resentment until her death.
Because no old woman can resist the 'temptation' of returning to youth, no!
And now, an opportunity for immortality and eternal youth is right before her, but she cannot grasp it. Isn't this a heart-wrenching sorrow, even despair?
If she didn't still have the dignity of a queen, she would have knelt down and begged to become the man's slave, just to get the gift of his life.
Back on the warship, Theodora stood at the bow, staring at the small island in the distance and the huge golden world tree. She became more and more anxious. She wanted to issue an order to storm the island and capture the archbishop from the East alive, making him serve her, so that she could remain young and beautiful forever and sit on the throne forever.
But she didn't dare.
She knew very well that the enemy was very powerful and had already subdued the witch on the island. Besides, even if her army could win, the enemy could fly and she could not catch him.
"Since he is not mine, why did God send him to me? Why!"
Theodora grabbed the side of the boat and let out a heart-wrenching scream!
Standing on the high point of the island, Bao Zheng looked at the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire who were only thinking about grabbing the gems and had no other actions. He shook his head helplessly, returned to Lu Sen's side, and said, "It's a pity that the barbarian queen still has some sense and did not fall into your trap, Master Lu."
Lu Sen said helplessly: "It seems like I set a trap for that woman!"
"Isn't it?" Bao Zheng stroked his beard and said calmly, "First, you can lure her with rejuvenation, and then let her bring her army to help you. You don't need these barbarians at all, and you can still win. So why do you want to do this? Just to make a legitimate reason to destroy this army, am I right?"
There was no expression on Lu Sen's face, but he felt helpless inside. He was actually just worried that the whale disease was too strong, so he brought more cannon fodder to block the damage.
But they did not expect the whales to be so vulnerable, and the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire were almost useless.
It's a safe move.
But I didn't expect Bao Zheng to think this way.
It has to be said that when one is in a "high position", every word and action can easily be over-interpreted, even for a smart person like Bao Zheng.
Seeing that Lu Sen seemed unwilling to say more, Bao Zheng did not dwell on the matter. He raised his chin slightly, pointed to the Fusang tree, and asked, "Do you really want to bring that Fusang tree demon back to the Song Dynasty?"
"Take it with you. A living hibiscus tree is much more useful than a pile of wood."
"Looking at her appearance, she is a typical Xirong person. Can she become a Song person like us?"
It's no wonder that Bao Zheng was worried. If ordinary mortals, even the most powerful barbarians, stayed in the Song Dynasty for a long time, they would unconsciously become sinicized.
But Bao Zheng was not very reassured and had no confidence in things like gods, ghosts, demons and monsters.
"It's okay, I will always watch over her. Besides, she is still a young child, so it won't be a problem to teach her from a young age."
Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll have to trouble Master Lu to take care of it."
Just now, Lu Sen told him about the "luck" of the Fusang tree, and Bao Zheng was so shocked that his scalp tingled.
The smarter a person is, the more he knows that something like "trend" is almost impossible to stop.
Only by strangling the source can there be a glimmer of hope.
If this hibiscus tree really absorbed a large amount of luck, Bao Zheng believed that the tragedy of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China would most likely happen again.
"You're welcome. It's my duty." Lu Sen waved his hand and then asked, "What are Bao Fuyin's plans for next?"
"I'll wander around this sea for about a month or two, then return to the Song Dynasty." Bao Zheng said with a smile, "After wandering for a long time, I know what it means to be a wanderer missing home."
Lu Sen asked again: "Do you want me to give you a ride..."
Bao Zheng shook his head: "No, we should go back the same way we came here, from the beginning to the end."
Bao Zheng then bowed and said, "Master Lu, I will go ahead."
Because Bao Zheng felt that what was going to happen with Lu Sen was not suitable for an ordinary mortal like him to know too much.
Lu Sen bowed in return, and then Bao Zheng took Zhan Zhao away and went to the beach to board the ship. Lu Sen stood on the cliff by the sea, watching the huge treasure ship gradually sail away.
Not long after, Xianxian came over and said, "Zhizhi has already made preparations. We can take the Fusang tree back with us next."
Lu Sen turned his head to look at the whale not far away and asked curiously, "Since you call me 'Zhizhi', are we that close?"
"We'll be family from now on, so there's no need to be distant with each other." Xianxian hugged Lu Sen's arm and said softly, "Besides, after chatting with her, I found that she is actually similar to me, both of us have miserable lives."
"Since you approve of her, there's no problem."
Xianxian smiled and said, "It doesn't make much sense for us to approve her. She needs Jinhua to approve of her."
Lu Sen: ????
A look of confusion.
At this time, Jing Huanzhizhi came over. She looked at the intimacy between Lu Sen and Xianxian, and her expression was a little unhappy.
After all, as a resentful woman, she couldn't stand seeing other people being in love. She always felt like an invisible knife was stabbing into her heart.
He said unhappily, "I have already convinced the little girl. I will be able to take her and the hibiscus tree away later. By the way... do you want these gems? If you do, I can pack some for you to take away."
Lu Sen smiled and said, "You've all followed us, are you still worried about not having gems?"
Humph... Zhizhi snorted, turned around and left.
Xianxian immediately let go of Lu Sen and chased after him, whispering something to Jinghuan. No one knew what they were talking about, but after a while the latter exclaimed in a low voice.
Lu Sen didn't care about that. He took out a chair from his system backpack and sat down.
Although there are still a lot of things to do now, he doesn't need to do anything. After all, there are three of his disciples, two concubines, and several other people on the scene. They are all good at work. How could it be his turn to do it? If he really wants to work, others will persuade him to stop.
After waiting for a while, Lu Sen saw the huge hibiscus tree slowly shrinking at a speed that violated scientific common sense, and in about a quarter of an hour, it became the shape of a potted plant.
The appearance of the hibiscus tree has not changed, it has just been scaled down.
The little girl transformed from the hibiscus
Lu Sen reached out and stroked her head. After thinking for a while, he said, "From now on, you will be called Ai Ya, the Ai of mugwort, Mu Ya Ya."
There is a reason why Lu Sen came up with this name. In later generations, this place was called the "Aegean Sea", with "Ai" as the surname and "Ya" referring to her true form as a "tree".
It can be regarded as a kind of 'label' and commemoration.
The little girl couldn't understand Song language yet, but she could see the tenderness in Lu Sen's eyes, and she immediately squinted her eyes and smiled, looking very pure and cute.
"Then let's go back." Lu Sen stood up.
Everyone was very happy. After being away for such a long time, they did miss home a little.
Several people sat in a flying vehicle and flew into the air. Looking down, they could see that after the loss of the hibiscus tree, a huge hole appeared in the middle of the island. However, groundwater began to gush out. It was estimated that it would not be long before this place would turn into a huge blue lake, which would be very beautiful.
As Lu Sen saw this, he also had the idea of building a huge artificial lake in Hangzhou.
Next, the aircraft flew eastward, crossed the Black Sea, crossed the high mountains, and returned to the Song Dynasty.
At this time, on the seashore, the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire were still carrying gems.
Queen Theodora watched the World Tree disappear, and then watched several aircraft fly away along with the Sun Boat. She screamed in pain , spit out blood, and then fainted.
Lu Sen naturally didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The speed of the Sun Boat was not very fast, and it slowed down, flying and stopping from time to time. After two days and three nights, Lu Sen finally returned to Hangzhou City.
When they arrived in Hangzhou, it was exactly noon. The people of Hangzhou city first noticed a little golden light in the sky and thought it was someone releasing a Kongming lantern.
But the light spot became bigger and bigger, and after some time, it became a ball of golden light.
The people of Hangzhou were reluctant to believe it at first, but they called their friends and many of them looked to the west. Everyone was wondering if Master Lu had returned.
Such speculation attracted more people's attention. Even people who were resting in the house were startled by the noise outside and stuck their heads out of the window.
After seeing a ball of golden light, they exclaimed and asked questions repeatedly.
When the golden light grew bigger and bigger, and even the shape of a ship could be seen, everyone in Hangzhou City knew that Master Lu had returned.
At that moment, the whole city was bustling with people and cheers were endless.
The people of Hangzhou have become accustomed to having a magical ship emitting golden light above their heads. When it has been missing for some time, they always feel like something is missing in their hearts and they don’t feel at ease.
Lu Sen also heard the cheers from Hangzhou City. He drove the aircraft and brought everyone back to the cave.
The aircraft landed on a special landing platform. Lu Sen walked out of it and saw Yang Jinhua and Pang Meir were already waiting there.
Seeing their husbands, their eyes were wet and they smiled happily, then they bowed at the same time: "Congratulations, Mr.
This is the etiquette of a military family, and the two of them will naturally not forget it.
Lu Sen walked over, held each of their hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work in guarding the house."
Bilian rushed out from the back and shouted, "What about me? You guys don't care about me anymore. I want to come too."
Then they squeezed in, hugged this one and hugged that one, and the four of them were almost tangled together.
Lu Sen was deeply in love with him, so it was not appropriate for Yaoyao and the others to stay with him, so they left quietly.
Jing Huan held Ai Ya in his arms and walked to a high platform, looking at the city of Hangzhou in the distance. He saw bright lights and bustling crowds ahead.
"Is this the Yangcheng of Xiatu now?"
Muttering to himself, Jinghuan suddenly burst into tears, and a feeling of peace of mind of a wanderer returning home suddenly surged in his heart.
