Elder brother's garrison

Page 2373

Xiaobai put down her phone and looked curiously at the four Fubuki sisters in front of her.

"Fubuki? Shirayuki? What happened? Why do you all look so tense?"

"T-t-t-t, Admiral, something terrible has happened!" Fubuki struggled out of the crowd, waving her arms and her cute little mouth agape. "Someone's here! Someone says they want to see you!"

"Isn't it true that people always come to see me in Chapter Eight?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

Now that Xiaobai is online under her real name, every admiral in Chapter 8 knows that she is the world's number one admiral.

Even though most admirals, intimidated by his reputation as the world's number one, dare not have any contact with Xiaobai, there are always a few who are not afraid of death and want to take a chance and establish a friendship with Xiaobai.

Xiaobai naturally rejects those who approach her with ulterior motives.

After all, Xiaobai herself doesn't have enough time. She has to spend time with the ship girls at home, the ship girls at Nia's house, and also get close to Nanxing Nia Luolian. She wishes she had 48 hours to squander all day. As for other people, Xiaobai really doesn't have time to entertain them.

Previously, the ship girls at the temporary naval base would politely persuade these strangers to leave, and only Xiaobai's acquaintances could contact Xiaobai through the ship girls.

What's going on today?

While Xiaobai was wondering, Fubuki had already run up to Xiaobai in a few steps, lay down on Xiaobai's lap, and looked up at Xiaobai and said.

"Admiral, this time is different, it's different!"

"What's different?" Xiaobai asked.

"The person who came to visit the admiral this time was an old man!"

"Grandpa?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "Um... how old is he?"

"I don't know, but her hair is all gray!"

"So old?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

"Exactly! It's really strange no matter how you look at it!" Fubuki said, waving her arms. "I've never seen such an old grandfather here before! You can tell he's someone special just by looking at him!"

"That's quite strange..." Shiro nodded in agreement with Fubuki's words. She thought for a moment and smiled at Fubuki, "Hmm... if he's that age, maybe he's a governor somewhere. How is that old man now?"

"Um... Missouri led the old man and his ship girl to the reception room, and she asked me to find the admiral!"

"As expected of Missouri." Xiaobai put down her phone, reached out and rubbed Chuixue's cheek. "Alright, since they're looking for someone who's looking for me, let's go take a look."

Fubuki nodded quickly.

Xiao Bai left the dormitory building and came to the square.

On the plaza, the ship girls of Nia's family seemed to know that a seemingly powerful old man had come to the temporary naval base. So when Xiaobai arrived at the plaza, she saw a group of Nia's girls gathered together distributing clothes and shawls. Everyone was gathered together, nervously and awkwardly covering up their already quite sparse and very attractive figures.

"Sisters, the naval base has reached its most critical moment. We must defend this pass!"

"Sisters who wear revealing clothes, come to me for a shawl! Remember to cover everything below your neck!"

"Ladies who wear short skirts, we have long pants here!"

"Anyone with bare legs or exposed shoulders must wear black stockings!"

"Atago, Takao! You two need to be extra careful. Even though you're both covered up, you should wear another layer!"

"You two are fearsome and unyielding! You are not allowed to leave the house today!"

"Sister Guanghui, you can make do with this cotton-padded coat for now..."

"Dafeng, especially you, remember to pull your collar up tight! Keep this little red book safe, in case you get caught later, remember to recite the propaganda slogans in it!"

"Sisters, listen to me, let's spread positive energy!"

"..."

Xiao Bai stopped at the edge of the square, watching the group of girls busy with various things.

Xiao Bai's gaze shifted, and she saw Nia's family's Great Phoenix not far away, pouting, covering its chest with its shawl, and walking over dejectedly.

"Dafeng, what are you doing?" Xiaobai asked.

"Ah...it's Admiral Lu Lin." As soon as Da Feng saw Xiao Bai, she stepped forward with a wronged expression. "Admiral Lu Lin, please ask that old man to leave quickly!"

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"That old man, we heard he was sent down from the Admiral's Headquarters to crack down on discipline," Daihou said, pouting. "They say their main focus is on combating vulgarity and obscenity... We have no choice but to do this to avoid the Naval Base being investigated..."

"Ah this..."

Xiao Bai looked at the ship girls from Nia's family in the square and couldn't help but chuckle.

The ship girls of Nia's family do dress a bit too flamboyantly, and they generally have excellent figures, making them among the most eye-catching even in the ship girl community.

Xiaobai usually thinks that the ship girls of Nia's family are quite pleasing to the eye, and he can't help but take a few more glances at them.

But Xiaobai never expected that their attire would attract someone with the profession of disciplinary committee member...

That's just too outrageous no matter how you look at it.

Xiao Bai shook her head, looked at Da Feng's aggrieved expression, and smiled at her.

"Okay, it's alright, you don't need to worry too much. I'm going to the living room."

"Admiral Lu Lin, you must do your best!" Da Feng said hurriedly.

Shiro waved to Taihou and followed the four Fubuki sisters to the reception room.

It's been a while since Xiaobai visited the reception room of the temporary naval base. Fortunately, the ship girls have been cleaning it, so the hygiene is perfectly acceptable.

When Xiaobai arrived at the reception room, there were only three people in the large room. Missouri was standing smiling next to the main seat, looking at the two people sitting opposite her.

"Gentlemen, thank you for waiting. My admiral has arrived."

Missouri noticed Xiaobai entering the room. She exchanged a glance with Xiaobai, smiled slightly, and then turned to the two people in front of her, speaking politely.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..." Xiaobai gently patted Fubuki's shoulder, then walked from the door of the reception room to Missouri's side, her gaze naturally falling on the other.

Xiao Bai finally saw what the other person looked like.

As expected, it was an old man and a ship girl.

Beside the old man was a cane, and in front of him lay a pot of tea, with steam rising slowly from the teacup.

Xiao Bai's gaze lingered on the old man for a moment, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

what……

This old man... Xiaobai didn't recognize him at all.

Remember when Xiaobai participated in the event in Chapter Six, he managed to meet almost all the governors. If the one visiting this time is one of the governors, then Xiaobai would definitely recognize him.

But what's intriguing is that the old man Xiaobai saw this time didn't match anyone in her memory.

Regardless, this old man's identity is definitely not ordinary... After all, someone who is this age and still strolling through Chapter 8 with ship girls is not exactly a regular person.

Ok……

wrong.

To be precise, the old man's appearance was somewhat familiar, but mostly unfamiliar.

So he wasn't the governor?

So who is he?

Could he really be a discipline committee member?

Xiao Bai thought about it in a rather absurd way.

Regardless, this old man's identity is definitely not ordinary... After all, someone who is this age and still strolling through Chapter 8 with ship girls is not exactly a regular person.

Missouri pulled out the chair for Little White.

Xiao Bai sat down gently in the chair and looked at the other person.

The old man opposite him had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze had been fixed on Xiaobai ever since Xiaobai entered the reception room.

The old man's gaze was gentle, like the midday sun, but there seemed to be a certain calmness hidden within that gentleness.

This gaze isn't too unpleasant.

Little White sat in the chair, looking at the old man with curiosity.

"Um... what are your names?" Xiaobai began, then cautiously added, "Um... if I may ask, do we know each other?"

"Haha..." the old man said, laughing heartily, "Admiral Lu Lin, you don't know me, but I know you."

"Ok?"

"I've long heard of your reputation as the world's number one admiral," the old man said with a smile.

"Oh..." Xiaobai blinked.

Xiao Bai's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the old man's side.

The ship girl beside the old man was blonde with blue eyes and a beautiful appearance.

Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's gaze, she smiled gently at Xiaobai.

“Emden,” the old man said with a smile to Little White.

"What?" Xiaobai looked at the old man.

“Her name is Emden,” the old man said.

"Ah... Miss Emden." Xiaobai nodded and greeted the blonde, blue-eyed ship girl.

Emden smiled back at Little White, bowing her head slightly, her demeanor impeccable and quite polite.

"Um, grandpa, I haven't asked your name yet..." Xiaobai said.

"Haha... It's nothing." The old man laughed. "Young lady, you seem to think I'm someone important, but I'm sorry, I'm not a big shot. I'm not here for any particular reason, and perhaps we won't have any contact after today... I just... I've heard old friends talk about you, and my son has received some favors, so as an elder, I should express my gratitude. That's why I've swallowed my pride and secretly come to see you. I hope you won't find me unworthy."

"Young man...?" Xiaobai was taken aback. She looked at the old man. "Favor? What favor?"

"My name is Hao Zhengchuan." Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "If Admiral Lu Lin doesn't mind, you can call me Lao Chuan or Lao Hao from now on."

"Huh? Hao... Ah?" Xiaobai was surprised when he heard this.

For an instant.

It seems they received a reminder.

For a fleeting moment, the old man's face overlapped with the black marinated egg in Xiaobai's memory.

Oh!

"I understand! You are the elder of Admiral Haoding!" Xiaobai suddenly realized.

"Hahaha!" The old man let out a hearty laugh.

Chapter 3322 An Irresistible Gift

They really are family; even their laughter sounds so similar.

Hearing the old man's laughter, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that the old man looked much kinder.

Xiao Bai picked up the tea on the table, lowered his head, and took a sip.

No wonder Xiaobai always felt that the old man looked familiar. It turned out that she hadn't met the old man before, but rather that the Admiral Haoding looked somewhat similar to him.

Hmm... and look at the similarity...

Xiao Bai held the teacup, secretly raised his head, and glanced at the old man's facial features.

Could he and Admiral Haoding be father and son?

Are they a grandfather and grandson?

How old is Admiral Haoding this year?

They all look quite similar.

Several thoughts flashed through Xiaobai's mind.

"Grandpa, are you the Admiral?" Xiao Bai asked the old man, thinking of this.

"I used to be one," the old man replied with a smile.

"what about now?"

"Just a minor official, nothing to brag about," the old man continued with a smile. "Admiral Lu Lin, please don't look down on my old bones."

"Ah..." Xiaobai pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Xiao Bai naturally didn't take the phrase "a minor official" to heart.
