Holding the three little ones in his arms, Li Ran gently hummed a children's song from his past life.

After a long time, Lexington came over with a coat.

Shh~!

Before his wife could get closer, Li Ran put his hand to his mouth, signaling the former not to make too much noise.

Nodding, Lexington slowed down.

When I got closer, I saw three little guys huddled head-to-head in the admiral's arms, soundly asleep. The wife curled her lips slightly and sat down gently.

Carefully turning his head, Li Ran asked softly: "Is Yamato okay?"

"It's nothing serious, just take a nap and you'll be fine." After saying that, Lexington reached out and touched the hands of the three little guys.

Fortunately, it's not cold.

Putting the coat on the little guy, Lexington said softly: "These three are too naughty and need to be disciplined."

"It's normal for children to be ignorant." Li Ran shook his head slightly, not agreeing with his wife's words.

The three little guys did this just to vent their anger, and he couldn't bear to scold them.

"Admiral, you dote on them too much." Seeing the admiral's insistence, Lexington reminded: "If this continues, they will cause trouble one day."

Li Ran waved his hand disapprovingly: "I believe they will not do anything harmful to the world. Besides, I am their admiral. If they cause trouble, I will be the one to take care of it. At worst, I will not be the admiral and take you all over the world."

Smiling, Lexington no longer insisted.

"It's windy here, let's go back."

After arranging her blown hair, the wife carried the big mackerel over.

A few days later, Zi Baicai and Fortress Ji embarked on their return journey.

"What, you can't bear to part with me?"

Looking at Supply Jiang who was sitting on the dock staring blankly at the ocean, Li Ran walked over and sat next to the little guy.

Grabbing Li Ran's sleeve, Supply Jiang said timidly: "Why don't you, Sister Yamato, stay? Isn't it good for everyone to be together?"

"Maybe your Yamato sister is shy!" Li Ran touched Supply-chan's head and opened his mouth: "Maybe next time I invite her, she will agree."

"Really?"

Blinking, Supply Jiang looked at Li Ran expectantly.

The Admiral has so many ship girls, it should be easy to pick up Yamato-san and Fortress-hime-san.

"I'll try it next time." Li Ran pinched Supply Jiang's cheek, pointed at the little guys playing not far away, and said, "Aren't you going to play with them?"

"go!"

Supply-chan stood up happily and joined the queue to play.

After watching for a while, Li Ran stood up, patted his butt, and said: "Don't cut Sukhbaatar's fishing line again, do you hear me, big mackerel!"

Slightly! Slightly! Slightly!

Turning his head and making a face, the big mackerel disagreed.

Li Ran raised his hand to make a spanking gesture, then shook his head and walked towards the office.

Counting the time, today is another day for newspapers to arrive at the town hall.

Pushing open the office door, Li Ran took off his coat and walked inside.

A stack of neatly coded newspapers was placed on the desk, with a steaming cup of scented tea next to it.

This is Lexington prepared.

Putting his coat on the chair, Li Ran sat down, picked up the top newspaper and started browsing.

When Lexington returned to the office, he had almost finished reading the newspaper.

"Admiral, is there any news about other companions?" The wife walked to the window and opened a crack, and asked softly.

Gently shaking the newspaper in his hand, Li Ran shook his head: "It's all gossip news, there is no useful information."

"Yeah, that's a pity." Filling the teacup with water, Lexington casually looked at the newspapers and said, "How about not ordering these newspapers in the future?"

"Forget it, maybe there's news for everyone in this!" Li Ran said with a smile, holding up the last newspaper.

"Too!"

Of course Lexington supports his admiral unconditionally.

These newspapers come from different parts of the world. If Shuangying hadn't worked at the General Post Office before, it would have been really difficult for the town government to get these newspapers.

Not long after, Li Ran slammed the table and shouted: "Madam, come here quickly."

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Putting down the rag, Lexington hurried over.

Pointing to the upper right corner of the newspaper, Li Ran asked eagerly: "Look, could this be our Yixian?"

"Yixian?!"

Lexington leaned his head and looked down.

"After several rounds of competition, the city's Kitchen King Competition has finally come to an end. Ju Xia downstairs, represented by several beautiful girls, has become the biggest dark horse in this competition..." Reading this piece of news in a low voice, the wife's eyes moved to the bottom.

.

There is a black and white photo there.

In the photo, several beautiful girls are smiling and surrounding a trophy.

After swallowing, Li Ran suddenly became nervous.

Although he could tell that the girls in the photo were Yixian, Shuanghai and Dawn Goddess, he didn't know if they were the ship girls of his garrison.

But when he saw the words "Ju Go Downstairs", Li Ran's intuition told him that the girls in the photo should be his ship girls. If he remembered correctly, the note he gave to Yixian's formation was "Ju Go Downstairs".

But there are so many ships with the same name in this world, and Li Ran is not 100% sure.

"Yes, it is indeed Yixian and the others." After a while, Lexington nodded heavily.

After waving his arms vigorously, Li Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my method is still useful.

Confirming that the other party was Yixian, Li Ran looked at the city the newspaper belonged to, then turned and came to the map.

"At this."

Pointing to somewhere on the map, Lexington prompted.

Looking along his wife's fingers, Li Ran couldn't help but frown.

This is an inland city. I don’t know how Yixian could take Shuanghai and the others there.

Seeing Li Ran's confusion, Lexington smiled and said, "Admiral, don't you think the terrain here looks familiar?"

"look familiar?!"

Opening his eyes wide, Li Ran looked carefully.

The city where Yixian is located is located on a huge plain, which is surrounded by mountains, forming a basin.

Seeing this, Li Ran couldn't help shouting: "This terrain is like the terrain of my hometown in my previous life."

"Indeed, Yixian probably wanted to find the admiral there." Lexington pointed out Yixian's thoughts.

Moving his finger slowly on the map, Li Ran quickly calculated the approximate distance.

It takes almost ten days to take a ship from the tutelary mansion to the coastal area there, and then take a train to the city where Yixian is located, which takes about five days in between.

In other words, it takes about a month to go back and forth.

"Admiral, who have you decided to take with you this time?" Lexington stroked her hair and asked curiously. Although she also wanted to go with her, my wife knew that the townhouse still couldn't do without her.

Li Ran shook his head and said he didn't know.

After thinking for a while, Lexington said, "Admiral, I'd better discuss it with everyone first."
