On the eighth day of the fourth month of the second year of Tiande, Fu Xiaoguan and his party bid farewell to Wang Er and others in the early morning and headed towards Beixiao Liuzhou.
The journey was filled with beautiful scenery. Fu Xiaoguan did not meet any officials. They walked in the countryside and fields, and did not even go to the home in Mozhou. The fat man brought his five concubines to Mozhou, but he never went back. It seemed inappropriate for him to go back himself.
I don’t know what the fat guy is doing. Instead of going home, he goes to Yu Dynasty. I don’t know how he is doing in Yu Dynasty. There are still many things I need to ask him in person.
Fu Xiaoguan was traveling north in a carriage. The battleship "Liu Jin" and three huge supply ships that he was concerned about were continuing to move eastward on the vast ocean.
They had already passed the Ryukyu Kingdom and entered unfamiliar waters without a chart.
The fleet was not moving very fast, because even the surrendered Xiong Er from the well became extremely nervous.
An unknown route is full of unknown dangers. It is true that Liu Jin wants to make great achievements, but he also understands that it will only be meaningful if he makes great achievements while alive.
April 12th.
The sun is shining brightly and the sea is sparkling and extremely beautiful.
Senior Brother Su Jue's mind was still a little confused. Ever since the ship sailed out of the Yangtze River and entered the sea, he started vomiting at the slightest sign of wind and waves. This guy has been vomiting for several months and seems to have gotten used to it.
His face was very pale, his hat was a little askew, and the scar on his face was more prominent and looked even more hideous. Even his beard, which was once very neatly trimmed, was now as messy as frost-bitten grass.
At this moment, he came to the second-floor deck, leaning his hands on the railing and looking at the vast ocean.
"Junior brother, my junior brother said that this sea is a treasure. These days, I have been wondering where this treasure is. After thinking about it, I think it should be at the bottom of the sea..."
Su Jue turned to look at Gao Yuanyuan, "Second Junior Brother, you're an excellent swimmer. Why don't you jump in and take a look when the boat stops?"
Gao Yuanyuan squinted at her senior brother and said, "This ocean is bottomless. Do you think it's as deep as the Tianxin Lake in our Taoist temple? If I jump in, I'll probably just feed the giant fish."
Huge fish!
Two days ago, they encountered a huge fish. Xiong Er, who was by the well, said it was a shark. It was ferocious and swarmed in large groups. Its meat was very delicious and had the effect of nourishing qi, tonifying yin, and strengthening the waist.
The eldest brother was eager to fly out and hunt one, but he gave up because his legs were a little weak.
"If you meet that shark again, you must kill one and bring some back for my junior brother to try."
Gao Yuanyuan agreed. She was a little scared when she first saw the thing. But then the guy Xiong Er by the well said that there were fishermen in their country of Ryukyu who specialized in catching that thing. So there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, I am a master of the Saint level!
But after that missed opportunity, we never met again. What's the reason?
Xiong Er at the well was also very confused. Logically speaking, it should be easier to encounter sharks or whales in such a sea area where no one has ever been.
But I didn't encounter anything in these two days.
He had a bad idea in his mind, so he said to Liu Jin, who was looking through a telescope beside him, "Sir Liu, I suggest that our fleet sail closer to the coast."
Liu Jin put down the telescope and looked at Xiong Er by the well in confusion. "A man who is not of my kind must have a different mindset," he said. "A few days ago, you told me to go deeper to avoid reefs. Now you're asking me to stay farther to the side. Could you please be more reliable?"
"This..." Xiong Er felt a little panicked at the well, but this was not a reason. "I feel that the supplies on the ship are running low, especially fresh water. If we can find a suitable landing point on land when we approach, can't we go ashore to resupply?"
The so-called "pulling to the side" was just turning the rudder to the north. Even Xiong Er by the well didn't know whether there was a side or not.
Liu Jin had no idea how difficult it was to find land in the vast ocean, but he felt that what Xiong Er said by the well made sense - land and a suitable port were the focus of this trip. Your Majesty wanted land, so what was the point of this vast ocean?
So he did not object and ordered Captain Pengze to turn north.
Just half an hour after the order was executed, a large, low, dark cloud suddenly appeared in Xiong Er's telescope by the well.
His heart leaped, "Storm!"
"There's a storm ahead, full left, full speed ahead!"
As he roared, Liu Jin's eyes fixed and he took a breath of cold air. He blew the emergency horn in an instant. The flag bearer on the "Liu Jin" sent a flag signal to the other three supply ships. The giant ship turned quickly to avoid the oncoming storm.
However, the speed of the storm far exceeded their imagination. In just a stick of incense, the sky turned pitch black.
"Big Brother, get into the cabin quickly!"
There wasn't even a breath of wind at the moment, but the clouds were frighteningly low.
Su Jue took a deep breath, turned around and went to the cabin.
"Starboard thirty degrees... Hurry, adjust the bow and face the storm head-on!"
"Lower the sails! Lower all three sails!"
"All sailors, row hard!"
There was chaos on the ship, and dark clouds had completely covered the four giant ships.
A breeze blew over. Xiong Er was still standing on the watchtower on the second floor by the well. He swallowed and suddenly widened his eyes - huge waves were rushing towards them!
"Right rudder, right rudder fifteen degrees, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick... Hurry up!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiong Er saw the huge waterspout through his telescope at the well.
There is a pillar standing between the water and the sky!
The clouds in the sky were spinning wildly, the water in the sea was spinning wildly, and huge waves were crashing in.
Peng Ze, who was steering the ship in the captain's cabin, was glaring with his eyes wide open—holy crap! He had never seen such a devastating sight before!
“Ding ding ding ding…”
A rapid bell suddenly rang, and he hurriedly turned the rudder. This was the message from the command center: turn to port thirty-five degrees!
Xiong Er by the well had already held his breath. The ship had to pass outside the storm. If it fell into the eye of the storm... no one would be able to survive.
What the hell!
I'm not an ocean-going ship captain!
I am the ambassador to the Wu Dynasty, okay?
A huge wave as high as a mountain hit the giant ship with a "bang".
Su Jue, who was huddled in the cabin, only felt the ship suddenly sink, as if it was going to sink to the bottom of the sea, and then he felt that the huge ship seemed to be lifted up and suddenly rose, as if it was going to fly into the sky.
"Bang...!" The giant ship seemed to fall on the sea, then tilted to the left and almost fell, but swung to the right, swinging his body around and tossing it up and down in the cabin.
His hat had already fallen off, and he was so shocked that his eyes were full of stars. "Big Brother, catch it!"
Su Mo tied himself up in the cabin and threw out a rope. Su Jue grabbed the rope. Su Mo pulled the eldest brother to his side and tied them together in a few seconds.
"Wow……!"
Su Mo's face turned pale and he felt that life was worse than death.
