It took the craftsmen about ten days to build the first watertight bulkhead fishing boat through both teaching and learning.
It is much larger than the ships here, and its shape is similar to that of a sea gull ship, with a low bow and a high stern, and a wide front and narrow back hull, named after its design of "not tilting even in strong winds and waves", but without the parapet, crossbow windows, and other warship facilities.
Yan Shiyue also came to take a look. From a distance, the hull was smooth and shiny, and it was so beautiful that it looked like a large handicraft. So Yan Shiyue named it "Haiyue", which means "the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide."
After she finished naming the names, she saw that Wang Anshi seemed to be having a hard time restraining himself from speaking. She pretended not to see it, because she had the final say anyway.
In fact, there are quite a few boats on this beach. It is said that there are two wealthy businessmen who have too much money to spend and bought a rather luxurious small ship to park here. Occasionally, they would hold poetry gatherings and go out to sea for fun.
But compared with this ship, it suddenly looks a lot bulkier and is definitely the most beautiful thing on this beach.
The Haiyue will stay here forever and can be used by local authorities when patrolling the sea, or to rescue people in emergency situations, etc. Then the craftsmen will teach everyone how to build more ordinary fishing boats.
Perhaps because fishermen have been dealing with boats all their lives, their enthusiasm for this boat far exceeded the imagination of Yan Shiyue and others. After the boat went into the sea, everyone cheered and held a bonfire party on the beach. Even Wang Anshi's family came, and everyone had a lively time all night.
Wang Anshi's wife looked gentle and clean. From the first moment Yan Shiyue saw her, she wanted to ask her how she could tolerate her husband who didn't take a bath. It was with great difficulty that she resisted asking.
During the trial voyage the next day, Wang Anshi went on board himself and played there for a whole day. He came back in the evening and wrote several poems.
...
...
On that day, Yan Shiyue called Jiahe over and pointed to Anshan Mountain over there: "What's on that mountain over there?"
Jiahe was dressed in down-to-earth craftsman clothes, and his whole body was several shades darker. He almost forgot his job. When she asked him, he was stunned: "A Taoist temple."
"Taoist temple?" Yan Shiyue looked at him, and a shadow guard came over: "We checked, several Taoists have been here for more than a year, there is no problem."
"Is everything okay?" Yan Shiyue had a strange feeling, as if she was being followed by paparazzi in later life. She always felt that someone was watching her from that direction.
The shadow guard said, "I'll go take a look later."
Yan Shiyue nodded and walked in that direction with Wei Xin.
She didn't know that when they were standing on the street and talking, the telescope in the Taoist temple had been pointing at her. She pointed in this direction, and Zheng Pingxiu's hair stood on end. After all, the scene in the telescope was too clear.
Just as the shadow guards were leading the way and slowly approaching the Taoist temple, a man dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly came over in a hurry, bowed down and said, "Goddess of Fortune!"
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
The shadow guard quickly stood in front and shouted, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
The man kowtowed and said, "I am a Taoist priest from Anshan Temple. I found that those two Taoist priests are not good people!" He lowered his voice and said, "I saw that they were looking at the street with a bamboo tube all day long! Yesterday, I heard one of them call the other 'Third Prince'!"
The shadow guard was startled, then quickly made a hand gesture, and several shadow guards surrounded him silently.
Xiao Tangzhi, who was originally a little far away, also walked up and looked at the man with a frown.
Jia He shouted, "Who are you? Why didn't you report it before?"
The Taoist said, "I originally thought it was better to have less trouble than more, but I got scared when that man called me Your Highness yesterday. There are no men of this age in Dayan who can be called Your Highness now, so are they from a neighboring country?"
Yan Shiyue frowned.
Yes, there are really no adult men in Dayan who can be called His Highness now, but this kind of thing is not something that every commoner would know.
Jia He continued to ask, and Xiao Tangzhi and Yan Shiyue exchanged looks.
In the Taoist temple, Zheng Pingxiu was completely at a loss.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, but with Yan Shiyue's pointing, he became terrified, not to mention that they immediately walked towards this side.
Although I comforted myself that the person must have wanted to come here for fun, the next moment, someone jumped in and started attacking without saying a word, with every move intended to take someone's life.
He didn't even have time to pretend to be an ordinary person, his guards jumped out, and then a fight broke out.
Having failed at the last hurdle, Zheng Pingxiu gritted his teeth and ran outside, then was picked up by the shadow guards outside.
Although far away, I could still vaguely hear the sound.
The shadow guard said anxiously: "Master, go back, it's not safe here."
Yan Shiyue nodded, and walked back with Wei Xin. Zheng Pingxiu struggled to be dragged down the mountain by the shadow guards. He saw the kneeling man clearly, and suddenly he realized, "It's you! It's actually you! Why did you betray me? Who bribed you!"
The man shrank his shoulders and did not answer.
Xiao Tangzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Among these neighboring countries, only Nanzhao speaks Chinese. This person should be from Nanzhao. But if he was bribed by another prince of Nanzhao, then there is no point in him coming to inform on others. As the saying goes, no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned. No matter what, this account is also being held against Nanzhao.
Could it be that they discovered that Yan Shiyue was suspicious? So they came up with this idea on a whim?
Zheng Pingxiu knew very well that if the matter was exposed, the small country of Nanzhao would not be able to withstand the wrath of Dayan, so he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything. However, several people unanimously pointed out that the fake Taoist priest who informed on the matter was their companion.
The fake Taoist priest couldn't stand it anymore, so he confessed the identity of Zheng Pingxiu and admitted that he was bribed by Zheng Pingqing in order to sabotage all of Zheng Pingxiu's actions and prevent him from making any achievements.
He was hesitant at first, until he saw Yan Shiyue walking towards him, and he rushed out and said it on impulse.
It sounds like it makes sense, but it always feels a little weird.
He also promised to take them to capture Zheng Pingxiu's hidden men, so the shadow guards were on high alert and sent a team to follow him.
Xiao Tangzhi is far behind.
He felt that this matter was too strange. This person seemed like a double agent who was specifically trying to harm the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Who knew that after walking a short distance, someone suddenly called out from a nearby carriage, "Mr. Tangzhi."
Xiao Tangzhi glanced at him slightly, and the man immediately got off the carriage, bowed deeply, and said, "Mr. Tangzhi, may I have a word with you?"
Although Xiao Tangzhi was skilled and daring, he was not stupid. He just stood far away and smiled, "Who are you?"
The man raised his head and said, "Old friend."
I don't know where, but there were bees flying around, and the buzzing sound was very disturbing to my ears.
Xiao Tangzhi was secretly on guard, and while sizing up the man, he asked, "What do you mean?"
The buzzing of the bees became louder and louder, with an indescribable rhythm. A voice was mixed in, saying slowly: "Come here..."
Xiao Tangzhi walked slowly towards the carriage without any resistance.
The next moment, the people in the carriage also pushed open the door.
It was an old man in a long robe, with white hair and a youthful face, and sparkling eyes. The buzzing sound actually came from his mouth.
Then he slightly raised his arms, his movements were simple and like dancing. This was the most advanced divine descent technique of the Goguryeo wizards... If it were placed in later generations, it should be called hypnosis.
Xiao Tangzhi walked slowly to the side of the carriage, and the old man slowly raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder.
