Li Er and others were unaware of the reactions of those foreign envoys.

At this time, they had already arrived at the Jiangnan Shipyard.

Compared to the golden-armored warriors in the palace who were accustomed to Zhou Yu's sudden appearance, the guards of the Jiangnan Shipyard were much more nervous.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin took out the seal that proved his identity and was able to escape the fate of being besieged.

After some briefing, everyone was brought to the riverside by the chief officer of the supervision.

At this time, a huge ship was sailing on the river.

The dragon skeleton made of iron birch pierced the surface of the river, and the bronze dragon head rose three feet high, with foam swallowing and spitting out waves between its fangs.

The hull was covered with inch-thick fish-scale copper armor, and each piece of armor was held together with seven black iron rivets, giving off a cold glow like frost and snow in the sunlight.

Even Zhou Yu, who had seen all kinds of modern technology, was shocked when he saw the huge monster occupying Jiangnan.

As for Li Er, he had already started laughing while twisting his beard. "Hahaha, yes, this warship looks very majestic~"

Hearing Li Er's praise, the chief officer of the Military Supervision Bureau breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he began to introduce himself in a torrent of words.

"Your Majesty, this warship is a modified version by a veteran shipbuilder. Compared to the original blueprint, it is more in line with the manufacturing process of our Tang Dynasty. At the same time, it also maximizes ocean-going, carrying capacity, and combat capability."

"Look at that five-story battle pavilion, its eaves rising like a forest of swords and spears, and the ship's hull is adorned with seven hundred and twenty ox-tendon crossbows hidden among the carved firing holes."

Following the guidance of the chief officer of the General Works Supervisor, everyone soon saw the dark red arrows that looked like solidified blood mist.

Not only that, there were as many as sixteen giant crossbows with baton poles sticking out from both sides of the ship.

The arm of the iron birch crossbow is as thick as a man's embrace, and the dragon tendon rope on the winch makes a sound of metal and stone when stretched.

The mainmast pierces the sky, and the nine-fold black sail is embroidered with golden Bi'an patterns, swelling in the storm like a god's battle robe.

As it moved, it raised three layers of white waves, and its tail was like a white dragon surging for ten miles.

Before they even reached the river, they were already stunned by the aura of the giant beast.

After walking for a distance, the scene on the warship came into view.

Boom boom boom~

Several dull drum beats were heard, and everyone immediately looked towards the bow of the ship.

It was not until then that everyone discovered that there was a nine-foot Kui skin war drum hanging on the bow lookout, and every muffled sound made the enemy ships' flags tremble.

Mist rose from the seams of the copper armor, like the breath of a giant beast. Even birds folded their wings and flew low wherever it passed, to avoid this murderous aura that could cut through the waves.

Just as everyone was shocked by the size of the warship, the little kid couldn't wait to run to the riverside.

The little girl ran along, asking loudly, "Aye, this boat is so big, can we get on it?"

"It's natural."

Li Er, who was already excited, nodded without hesitation when he heard this.

Then, without waiting for the little girl to urge him on, he turned to the chief officer of the works department and said, "Signal them with flags and tell them to come ashore quickly. I want to go aboard and inspect the ship."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Faced with Li Er's request, the chief officer of the supervisory department did not dare to neglect it at all.

Before submitting the memorial to the court, they conducted several rounds of trial voyages, so there was no need to worry about any danger.

What they didn't expect was that His Majesty would arrive so quickly.

According to the speed of the post station, the message should have just been delivered.

After communicating through flag signals, the large ship, which was originally speeding on the river, quickly began to slow down.

Immediately afterwards, the ship changed course and headed towards the dock on the shore.
