Chapter 1895: Returning Home
At this time, Europe.
Britain.
Newton returned home excitedly to tell Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng some good news.
"You can go back!"
"Really!" Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng were full of disbelief.
Newton nodded, and he said again: "It is absolutely true; His Majesty told me this himself."
"He also said, give my regards to Lord Liu Zheng for me."
Hu Xi'er took a deep breath; Jiang Xuelan had succeeded. She had not expected the other party to truly succeed, as she had originally held no expectations.
A smile also appeared on Mo Cheng's perpetually stoic face.
Going home—this was a matter he had been looking forward to for too long.
Newton said again: "The guards outside have been withdrawn; you can return at any time."
Mo Cheng looked at Newton and said: "What about you, Brother Newton? You have always wanted to go to Longyan; you could come with us."
Newton shook his head and said slowly: "His Majesty will not let me go, and besides, I belong to Britain, not Longyan."
Upon hearing these words, Mo Cheng understood a great deal and did not say anything more.
Hu Xi'er also fell into silence.
They had spent a very pleasant time with Newton.
Newton was a person who devoted himself entirely to academic research; his heart held only academics and nothing else, and the current Longyan could provide him with a better platform for development.
But... Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng spread their hands; such was reality.
Newton sighed rarely: "Alright, let's not talk about these sad topics. When do you plan to leave? I can help you arrange a ship."
Mo Cheng and Hu Xi'er said earnestly: "Thank you."
And previously.
Inside the British Imperial Palace, the Longyan Messenger had once again had an audience with George III.
"Many thanks to Your Majesty for your grace."
George III sat in the seat of honor, looking down at the Longyan Messenger standing below, and smiled faintly: "This is all the merit of your own Longyan people; they indeed were not involved in the case of Stephenson's disappearance."
"Since the matter has been investigated clearly, then these two Longyan people, Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng, may return to their country; they may do so at any time."
When George III said these words, there was no expression on his face.
He did not know where Stephenson had gone, but Mo Cheng and Hu Xi'er were definitely related to this matter.
The Secret Guard stationed at the entrance of Newton's house had seen Stephenson coming and going more than once.
But, for one or two engineers, there was no need to offend Longyan; this was not a cost-effective matter.
"The matter has ended, so I shall take my leave now."
"Farewell!" the Longyan Messenger said with a bow.
George III waved his hand as if shooing someone away, and the Longyan Messenger smiled and retreated.
After he left, George III's complexion instantly turned livid, his fists clenched tightly. The Longyan people were paying less and less attention to him. He took several deep breaths before relaxing his whitened hands.
Let the Longyan people be arrogant for a few more days, until the Dreadnought-class warships are mass-produced.
They in Britain would also possess the ability to truly go toe-to-toe with Longyan.
By that time, France would no longer be a threat, and their target would only be Longyan!
By that time, the structure of this world would be rewritten!
After the Longyan Messenger came out, he did not return directly to Saxony, but went to visit Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng.
Hu Xi'er was the daughter of Qingyang Shuo, and her status and position were of no small importance.
Mo Cheng was a famous physicist in Longyan; the construction of the Supply Ship was something Mo Cheng had participated in and led the resolution of the Physics problems within.
He had to go and confirm the safety of these two people now.
If possible, it would be best to take them back to Saxony now, as that place
was, after all, Longyan territory, which was much better than leaving by ship directly from Britain.
When the Longyan Messenger came, he had already investigated their location clearly: it was the home of the famous British scholar, Newton.
Knocking open Newton's door, Hu Xi'er, who opened the door, looked at this unfamiliar Longyan person and asked: "You are?"
The Longyan Messenger leaned his body slightly forward and said: "I am a Messenger sent by Lord Li Hongtian to pick you and Mr. Mo Cheng up to return."
Hu Xi'er understood, a smile appeared on her face, and she invited him in.
"Don't stand at the door, come in."
"The two of us still have to thank you and Lord Li Hongtian; if not for the help of you two, we two would not know how long we would have to stay here."
The Longyan Messenger smiled and did not speak.
Hu Xi'er introduced his identity to the others inside the house, and Mo Cheng's face was very excited.
The Longyan Messenger nodded slightly to acknowledge.
Although there was a smile on Newton's face, there was more reluctance.
The Longyan Messenger said straight to the point: "Miss Hu Xi'er, Mr. Mo Cheng, I came today because I want to take the two of you away from Britain right now."
The two were taken aback, but Newton, who was sitting to the side, said: "Is this not a bit too rushed?"
The Longyan Messenger glanced at Newton, and Mo Cheng came out to introduce: "He is Newton."
He said to Newton: "Brother Newton, I know what you mean."
Mo Cheng looked at the Longyan Messenger: "Only the two of us can leave; can Newton come with us?"
The Dragon Flame Messenger's expression froze for a moment, and he sighed, "My apologies, Mr. Mo Cheng, Newton is a great scientist of Britain; he cannot come with us."
Mo Cheng sighed, and Newton patted his shoulder and said, "I do not belong to Dragon Flame, just as I said."
At this moment, Mo Cheng thought about how wonderful it would be if science were not hindered by national borders.
But he knew this thought was very naive.
The Dragon Flame Messenger said again, "Please, you two, pack up; my Horse Carriage is right outside."
"Alright."
Hu Xi'er nodded and immediately began to act.
Having stayed here for nearly a year, she discovered there were not many things she could take away; other than memories, there was nothing she could take with her.
The two of them quickly finished packing their luggage.
At this time, Newton brought a book down from upstairs, with the five characters "Definition of Mechanics" written on it.
"Brother Mo Cheng, although I do not know if we will have the chance to meet again, the content inside this book is what we both created together; I hope you can take it back."
Mo Cheng solemnly took the book and bowed deeply: "Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Brother Newton, I hope your research can succeed; let me leave this blessing for you."
Newton gave everyone a brief hug.
Under Newton's gaze, Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng boarded the Horse Carriage, and the Dragon Flame Messenger extended his right hand and said, "Mr. Newton, you are welcome to come to Dragon Flame at any time; we in Dragon Flame always welcome your arrival."
"The kind where I can leave at any time."
Newton shook his hand, nodded, and said, "Thank you, if there is a chance, I will definitely go; Dragon Flame has a larger research platform than Britain."
The Dragon Flame Messenger boarded the Horse Carriage, and under Newton's farewell gaze, the Horse Carriage passed through the street and disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Newton watched all of this; the Horse Carriage had been gone for a long time, but he still had not left.
After the sun set, he turned and returned to the house, went upstairs, and the lights were the same as before, as if his previous life had begun once again.
