Chapter 385: The Storm in the Sea

On the second day of September, the Chao family's military fleet rode the wind and waves along the opened route. More than a hundred ships virtually formed a cone-shaped battle formation with the least resistance. No matter how strong the wind and waves on the boundless ocean were, they could not shake it in the slightest.

The water all around is connected to the sky, the water is connected to the sky, and it is boundless.

"...

Simply love what your heart loves

The world has become bigger

All flowers bloom for you

All the scenery is arranged for you

we are so different

I must have loved you deeply in my previous life

We have made peace with each other for the rest of our lives and will meet again.

…”

On the flagship of the fleet, on the deck of a 20,000-ton Mulan boat, I heard a strange but beautiful melody mixed with singing.

Whether it was fully armed guards, shirtless sailors, or generals such as Chen Hu and Li Yan, the people on the adjacent ships were mesmerized by what they heard. They looked at the men on the deck who were playing music and singing.

.No one looked down upon the actor, but was filled with admiration.

Because the one who plays the harp is Chao Gai, who doesn’t know the name of the Heavenly King? Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Shandong Province, is capable of both literary and martial arts, doing business and farming, cooking and forging... There is no one who doesn’t know how to play the harp, and no one who is not skilled in playing the harp.

Nice to hear.

Different identities bring different impressions.

Chao Gai seemed to be immersed in the music, stroking the piano, and his low singing voice floated. This is a classic old song by later generations of singer Wu Bai, reunited again. The crisp and sweet melody is very different from this era but very pleasant to the ear.

Hu Sanniang and Huazi, two female generals in full body armor, leaned against the side of the ship and clapped their hands. Yelu Dalibao was smiling, playing with the tea set and making tea while humming along. Li Qingwan and Li Qingzhao were holding their flower shoes with loving faces.

Li Shishi held the pipa in his arms and followed the melody with his slender jade fingers, imitating it quietly. Without exception, the woman's eyes looked at Chao Gai full of tenderness.

Sailing, especially ocean sailing, takes a long time and is very boring.

No matter how strange the seabirds are, no matter how beautiful the scenery of the sea is, if you watch too much, you will get bored. Chao Gai can't always stay in the room with his wife, so he often accompanies them on excursions on huge ships or on the deck.

I danced with guns and sticks, and now I am playing musical instruments and singing at the invitation of my wife.

Unknowingly, the song ended up meeting again.

"Okay, sounds good..." The guards, sailors on the flagship, and the civilians and soldiers on several adjacent ships all shouted and cheered for Chao Gai. I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then the applause floated on the sea.

Li Shishi, who is quite accomplished in lyrics and music, immediately pestered Chao Gai and said coquettishly: "Husband, this song is quite nice. Can you teach me how to sing it?"

"Okay! I'll teach you when I have time." How could Chao Gai disagree with this? Looking at the woman's big belly, it doesn't look bloated, but rather fuller and more charming.

"Husband, you are the best!" Li Shishi smiled sweetly.

"Husband, come and have a cup of tea." Yelu Dalib smiled and pushed the tea cup over.

"It's fragrant and sweet, good tea." Chao Gai took the cup and took a sip, his eyes lit up. The tea was slightly astringent in the mouth, but then turned sweet, and he couldn't help but praise it.

Yelu Dalibao smiled slightly: "This is the best pekoe tea produced on Fujian Road. We saw it when we were shopping in the city, so we bought some."

Chao Gai nodded and turned to look at the two sisters, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingwan. In the past few days, they have been busy knitting children's clothes and shoes.

"I asked you, what are you trying to do? You can just buy it later."

"Hmph, there's no sense of accomplishment in buying something that's made by hand." Li Qingwan rolled her eyes crazily.

"Hey, I didn't have the chance before!" Li Qingzhao looked sad, then touched his belly and became happy: "I didn't expect that the skills I learned were not in vain."

"Then you sew a few more sets, Master, Sanniang and the others don't know how."

"Humph, Chao Gai, you are so partial, you only know how to bully us."

"Hey, isn't this more work for those who can do it? I asked them to help."

When Chao Gai saw that Li Qingzhao was thinking about the past, he immediately changed the subject, deliberately pretending to be a big boss, pointing at Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang and others to assign tasks. He immediately asked Li Qingzhao and Li Qingwan to frown and puff up their cheeks.

Just when the husband and wife are bickering with each other.

Hu Sanniang, who was leaning against the side of the boat to enjoy the wind, suddenly pointed to the seaside and exclaimed.

"Wow, husband, look, what a big fish."

"What a thick water column. This must be the whale my husband mentioned."

"Mine, what a big monster, monster."

"My dear, take the baby and get into the cabin quickly. There is a monster."

Not only the two women screamed, but other people on the ship also screamed. Many people were panicked, and even shouted out monsters and the like.

Chao Gai stood up, looked around, and immediately smiled.

In the water ahead on the left, there is a group of blue-brown whales of different sizes swimming. Some spray out thick water columns, some slap the water with huge tail fins, and the waves are rolling. There is also a small blue whale about seven or eight meters long.

It rushed out of the water and jumped high, then plopped into the water. It set off huge waves, which spread layer by layer and shook nearby ships. If it continued to get closer, it would cause the giant beast to go crazy, and the consequences would be worrying.

Chao Gai was about to ask his bodyguard to notify the commander, Li Jun, to change the channel.

However, it was obvious that Li Jun, the sea dragon, had already experienced this kind of thing, and he roared: "Notify us, try to stay away from the whales, and let the people return to the cabin. There are whales again, the wind has become stronger, and there is probably another storm."

As he spoke, the big man's face became solemn and he looked up at the sky. At some point, the originally clear blue sky was covered by dark clouds.

The flag bearer on the ship waved various flags, and the sailors of each ship were always paying attention to the movements of the flagship. Orders were quickly issued to each ship, and shouts came one after another. People on the deck entered the cabin one after another. As the helmsman steering the ship, the fleet's established channel gradually deviated.

, stay away from that group of blue whales.

Whales are full of treasures. If they can be hunted, the meat can be eaten. If you can't finish it, you can pickle it or dry it in the sun. Leather armor made of whale skin...

Chao Gai looked at these behemoths with a greedy look and wanted to do something with them. However, considering the performance and itinerary of the ships, he did not want to cause any complications. He could only wait for technological innovations in the shipbuilding industry before trying again at sea.

He also felt the change in the wind direction, so he asked the ladies to pack their things and return to the cabin. But the storm was about to come, and the instruments had just been packed up. Suddenly, a strange wind blew, and the flags in the control room rustled.

There were originally three-foot waves in the sea without wind, but now the strong wind blows, the waves are even more surging.

"Quickly... lower the sails, drop the anchor, and leave the tables, chairs, benches and other sundries alone," Li Jun made a quick decision upon seeing this and immediately commanded at the top of his voice.

The personnel on the flagship started to move.

The fleet traveled back and forth many times, and encountered similar situations frequently. In fact, before the emergency horn sounded, each ship had already responded to some extent.

The sailors collected flags or carried tables and chairs into the cabin. Some teamed up to throw the big iron ball tied with an iron chain into the sea, and some climbed up the mast and unhooked the sail. The speed of the fleet dropped sharply, and they tried their best to resist the sudden attack.

storm.

Chen Hu also blew his whistle, and eagles chirped one after another in the sky. Then several raptors with wingspans of about two meters passed through the clouds, swooped down and landed.

These are the little golden eagles that were raised and raised, and now they are familiar with the journey on a long journey.

Huhuhu...

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sea seemed to be boiling, setting off huge waves. Due to the strong wind and waves, the ships that originally sailed in a formation were washed away. The sailors and soldiers on the ship staggered here and there, and those who ran even stumbled and fell.

"Hold the handrail, hold the handrail, don't be swept into the sea." The sailors on the front line shouted loudly and braved the wind and waves to control the ship.

The wind and waves became stronger and stronger, and the ship became more and more bumpy.

Even though the flagship was like a behemoth, it was insignificant compared to the sea. Chao Gai protected his wife and stumbled into the cabin, but it was difficult to move forward. Seeing that there were handrails everywhere in the cabin, he asked them to cling to the side of the ship and hold on. He and Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi,

Yelu Dalibo protected the three pregnant girls.

The situation of the guards led by generals such as Han Shizhong, Feng Tai, and Li Yan was not much better. Most of them rushed into the cabin and grabbed the handrails, while a few waited outside to face the storm.

Rumble...

Outside there was thunder, dark clouds rolling, lightning and thunder, heavy rain pouring down, and the wind getting even worse. Huge waves hit the ship, and the waves fell down like a violent storm, rushing the tables, chairs and benches on the deck far away. The sailor became

Although he was drowned in soup, he still insisted on not taking a step back.

They either struggled to anchor or trim the sails. Li Jun stumbled to the wheelhouse and took the wheel himself to prevent the ship from crashing like a headless fly.

"Oh, it feels so good!" Fengtai went to go to the convenience store. When he came out, he encountered this situation. He ran the slowest. On the deck, he witnessed the surging waves. He was soaked by the waves and screamed.

.

"General, hurry up... or you'll be swept into the sea." The nearby sailors saw this guy wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, so they yelled to remind him.

The situation of other ships was similar. Since the sails were lowered and the anchors were lowered in time, the load on the ship was sufficient, so the problem was not serious. They kept their distance and withstood the storm.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled in, strong winds rolled over the sea, and the waves were turbulent as if they were capsized. Each sea-going ship made of thousands of materials was ups and downs like it had been for months.

Crews and sailors have long been accustomed to it.

However, this was the first time for many people on the ship to encounter it. Not only were they pale with fear, but fortunately they had encountered this kind of situation before. There were elderly sailors on each ship walking around, shouting loudly, it was just a small storm.

The people gradually settled down, holding on to the handrails inside the cabin and waiting quietly.

Storms at sea come and go quickly.

Less than half an hour later, the sea gradually calmed down. The rolling dark clouds in the sky quietly dispersed, and the autumn sunshine shone down, making it particularly warm.

"Madam, are you okay?" Chao Gai looked at the three girls, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao who were a little dizzy, and asked with some distress.

"Well, it's okay, Bian's head is a little dizzy." The three women shook their heads and sighed.

"Is this the storm you're talking about?"

"Oh, I didn't expect the wind on the sea to be so strong."

Just at this time, the cheers of the sailors came from outside.

Chao Gai was curious, as were the other ladies. Instead of returning to the cabin to rest, they walked out of the cabin again and saw the scene outside.

It turned out that the fleet commander Hun Hailong Li Jun asked the sailors to cast down large fishing nets when the storm was coming to an end and take the opportunity to catch fish.

Facts have proved that with danger comes opportunity.

A medium-sized storm swept through, and the fish in the sea were dizzy.

Thirty to fifty people shouted slogans and dragged the fishing nets, and some laughed. The same situation was true on other boats, dragging the fishing nets one after another and yelling.
