After sailing on the vast ocean for 20 days, they arrived at Ryukyu Island.
This time they did not stay for long at the indigenous islands and the uninhabited Ershan Island discovered 10 years ago. They just replenished some fresh water and continued on their journey. In addition, the steamship built by Yunfang had greatly improved its speed, so the time taken to set off was much shorter than 10 years ago.
Arriving at Ryukyu Island, it was not much different from what it was 10 years ago.
Because they did not know about the current changes in the Qianyuan Dynasty, Yunfang and his group decided to land on Ryukyu Island to find out.
They arrived at the most famous pier on Ryukyu Island. There were almost endless ships coming and going here, but there were almost no ships as big and numerous as the ones Yunfang and others were driving.
When Yunfang's fleet appeared in the eyes of the people at the dock, it was immediately reported to the highest person in charge of the city where the dock belonged.
By the time Yunfang and the caravan arrived at the dock and stopped, all the idle people on the dock had been cleared out. The officials of the city came here collectively and asked Yunfang and others where they came from.
One of them had received Yunfang and others 10 years ago and raised fresh water and other resources for them.
That year he was the second-in-command of the city, but now he has become the highest-ranking official in the city.
As Yunfang drove the boats closer and closer, he discovered that the appearance of these boats was very similar to the boats that had shocked him 10 years ago.
When he really stopped and looked at Yun Fang and others standing on the deck, he suddenly remembered that these were the huge ships that set out from here and headed west 10 years ago.
For 10 years, the Ryukyu Dynasty still relied on the Qianyuan Dynasty and was their vassal state, so after confirming that these people were the team that originally took the customs documents to find the New World.
He immediately told the officials around him to change their attitude and welcome the returning people with the most enthusiastic attitude.
Because as early as five years ago, he had already become the top leader of this city.
He received a secret decree from the Qianyuan Dynasty, stating that if he met the team that set out from here westward five years ago in search of a new continent, he must respect and entertain them.
Some officials of the Ryukyu Dynasty were very close to the former dynasty, while others were very resistant to it.
He was the official closest to the Qianyuan Dynasty, so after receiving the secret order, he was almost always ready to treat this group of people with the best attitude when they returned, so that they would say a few good words for him when they returned to the Qianyuan Dynasty.
I didn’t expect that this wait would last for 5 years.
So after Yunfang and the others saw clearly all the officials at the dock, they felt that these officials were laughing so hard that it made their scalps tingle.
However, everyone could also feel that these people were very friendly to them.
However, we cannot be deceived by the appearance of outsiders. We are still wary of returning to this continent, of the past 10 years, and of the unknown current situation.
So after the ship docked at the pier, not everyone got off the ship. Yun Fang brought a few people with excellent martial arts and Li Muwen to get off the ship together. As long as they could find out the current situation of the Qianyuan Dynasty, they would continue to set off and would not stay in Ryukyu for long.
After Yunfang and others got off the boat, the officials waiting on land immediately surrounded them.
We asked them about their experiences over the past 10 years.
Yunfang is not in a good position at this time, and all active responses still have to be responded to by Li Muwen.
Fortunately, Li Muwen and Yun Fang were in tune with each other. They just responded with a few words and then started asking what they wanted to know.
Of course, the Ryukyu officials answered all the questions raised by Li Muwen and others without reservation.
Soon Li Muwen and others learned that the emperor who had taken office five years ago, Chu Xingyu's father, had passed away and passed his throne to the prince born to the second queen.
But the Ryukyu officials knew nothing about the specific details. They only knew that in the past five years, the Qianyuan Dynasty had been very powerful under the rule of the new emperor.
There is another thing they know, that is, the current empress dowager is the empress of the previous emperor, which means that Chu Xingyu's mother is the current empress dowager.
The official also told Li Muwen the secret decree he had received, and learned that the current emperor was very friendly towards their return.
This made Li Muwen and Yun Fang feel a little relieved.
This is all the information these Ryukyu officials could know. No one would talk too much about royal affairs to a small vassal state like them.
When they repeatedly asked Yunfang, Li Muwen and Chu Xingyu on the ship to stay in Ryukyu for a while longer, Li Muwen and Yunfang still refused because they were eager to return to their hometown and see their relatives.
Although the Ryukyu officials said that the royal family had a secret order to entertain them and did not say that they were wanted, Yunfang and Li Muwen were still very cautious.
They did not stay in Ryukyu for long, but sailed directly towards the Qianyuan Dynasty.
The ship they were on was the fastest ship in the world today, so they drove the ship towards the Qianyuan Dynasty, and the Ryukyu people could not catch up with them no matter how hard they tried.
This will ensure that they can reach the Qianyuan Dynasty and gather some information before anyone knows about their return.
Soon they were all getting closer and closer to the coastline of their hometown.
As they got closer to home, everyone's face became increasingly heavy, but they also couldn't help but reveal a strong sense of anticipation.
They finally arrived at the estuary where they had originally left from. Following the estuary, they sailed the boat to Yiqing County, the place where everything had begun.
The wharf in Yiqing County is also extremely large, but people living near the wharf have never seen such large and numerous ships. The last time they saw such a large scale was 10 years ago.
However, the ships at that time were not as exquisite and majestic as the ones we see today.
These ships stopped at the dock and immediately attracted countless people's attention. Everyone wanted to see who was coming up and down the dock, and also wanted to know what kind of cargo they were carrying.
This time, only Yunfang, Li Weiheng and Li Muwen got off the boat, and they came down under the cover of night so no one noticed them. The rest of the people still stayed on the boat waiting for them to send back news.
After they got off the boat, they quickly walked towards Yuan Fang's home.
If there is anyone who knows more about the situation in the court, it must be Yun Feng.
So going to Yunfang's house to find Yunfang's mother and ask her can quickly tell what the situation is like in the court. What exactly does the current emperor plan for Chu Xingyu?
