Everyone looked at the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom swept his gaze across Lu Zheng and the other two faces, then said, "My arrangement for the three of you is three paths. Aze, you are a general in the water camp, so your path is related to water. I plan to send a team to you, and you will return to the Great Zhou by water."
Peng Ze was taken aback: "Didn't they say that the Kingdom of Lang has set up a defensive line in the waters, prohibiting east-west travel?"
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom shook his head with a smile: "How could the Lang Kingdom possibly block off the entire sea? They don't have that capability. If they could control all the seas, why would the Lang Kingdom have any trouble attacking the Great Zhou? They don't even have that many people."
Gu Xin suddenly remembered the story Gu Nian had told her: "My sister said that we actually live on a planet. Our part of the land is very small, and the ocean is much larger than the land. My sister said that if we start from the coast of Da Zhou and have enough food and water and don't encounter storms at sea, we can circle the planet and return to the coast of Da Zhou."
Several ancient people looked at Gu Xin in surprise.
Gu Xin stuck out her tongue: "My sister said she heard it from a wandering monk. That monk has been to many places! He talked about it with my sister. You don't know, my sister used to love going to town and county town all the time. I thought she went to see handsome young men, but it turns out she went to see the outside world!"
Lu Zheng smirked, "Only a silly girl like you can do that!"
I don't know where Gu Nian came from, but if she says it's a ball, then it's a ball. After all, Gu Nian can make a lot of novel things, and the place where Gu Nian used to live must have been better than Da Zhou.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom chimed in, "Whether it's a ball or not, I don't know, but we'll definitely be able to return to the Great Zhou. Look at this map. We're here now. If we travel south for half a month, we'll reach the sea. From there, we'll head east. Here is Tianzhu, here is Liangzi, and here is Dayuan. After reaching Dayuan, we won't go east anymore. We'll replenish our food and water there, then travel south for six days, then east again. At this point, it will take about three more days. Then, heading north, we might reach the Goddess Kingdom, Jinnan, or any coastline of the Great Zhou. Just don't go past three days! If you go past three days, you'll probably be too far off the coast!"
Peng Ze looked at the simple nautical chart on the table, pursed his lips, and asked, "Uncle Jun, can the ship withstand the wind and waves? On this journey back, apart from replenishing food in Dayuan, we will spend the rest of the time at sea. The sea is unpredictable, and if the ship is not sturdy enough, everyone on board will be swallowed by the sea."
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu also looked solemnly at the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom sighed helplessly: "I can't guarantee that to you. Even the sturdiest ship can be destroyed in a storm if it's unlucky. But the sea is our only way to send messages to the Great Zhou. The Cloud Sea Tribe has already taken control of the north. Even if we go north, we'll have to cross the icebergs to get back to the Great Zhou without going through Langge. That's not as safe as the sea."
Peng Ze was silent for a moment, then said, "Uncle Jun, I can't guarantee I can agree. I need to see the ship and the manpower before I can make a decision."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom nodded: "That's natural. You can rest assured about the people. Almost all the people I found for you have experience at sea. They can read the weather and have experience in dealing with all kinds of emergencies. The ships are on the other side of the coast. Once you're ready, I'll have someone take you there."
