The rising sun shines on the sea surface, the sea breeze blows gently, and the waves are rippling, rippling.

Qi Ning comforted him: "It is not this marquis who bring up the old things again, which makes General Chen sad."

"The Marquis is so serious." Chen Liangqiu hurriedly said: "The second young master passed away due to illness. The humble general was powerless. When he was traveling, he could only go to various temples to copy all the second young masters to be saved." He smiled bitterly: "This time the great governor passed away, the humble general still did not protect him, in his heart!" He shook his head and sighed.

Qi Ning gently patted Chen Liangqiu's arm and said, "After three years of travel, General Chen must have rich experience. I believe he has made many friends, right?"

"There are many people who have seen each other, but there are very few who are like each other." Chen Liangqiu looked at the vast sea: "It is often said that it is enough to have a confidant in life, but how difficult is it to find this confidant?"

"It's enough to have a confidant in life!" Qi Ning thought about it and nodded slightly, "General Chen said this well." Then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Fortunately, the second young master of Dan Tai and the Grand Commander-in-Chief regarded you as confidants during their lifetime, and General Chen was also lucky."

Chen Liangqiu's lips moved slightly, but he wanted to speak but stopped, but he finally didn't say anything.

"General Chen, the Grand Commander-in-Chief, passed away. The most important thing for the East China Sea Navy is to have a new Grand Commander-in-Chief." Qi Ning suddenly said: "In your opinion, who can take on this responsibility?"

Chen Liangqiu frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "Marty, who is the commander of the East China Sea Navy? This is the imperial court's order. The humble general dare not speculate on his own!"

"There are no one else here, and I mentioned it first, so you don't have to be afraid of it." Qi Ning smiled and said, "You and I cannot decide who will be the governor of the Navy. Even if you have nothing to do and have a few words, it will not hurt the overall situation."

Chen Liangqiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Marquis, the old Marquis and the Grand Governor took many years to train the Donghai Navy into an army that is worthy of rivalry with the Dongqi Navy. Our Great Chu has not yet unified the world. In the future, whether it is to conquer the Northern Han or Dongqi, the Donghai Navy will be a great help. Therefore, the humble general feels that the court must think twice before selecting a new Grand Governor."

"General Chen wants to say that if the court sent an outsider who did not understand the military affairs of the navy and commanded randomly, it would have been possible to ruin the efforts of the old marquis and the governor for many years. Is that what it means?" Qi Ning asked with a smile on his lips.

Chen Liangqiu hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not!"

"Don't think too much." Qi Ning said lightly: "Actually, this is the same thing in this way. Since the founding of the East China Sea Navy, the court has invested a lot of financial and material resources, and the old Marquis and the Grand Commander have also worked hard. Including you, General Chen, countless naval soldiers have paid hardships for the strength of our Great Chu Navy. If you really send a mediocre and incompetent person to come, the prince will definitely write a letter to the court."

Chen Liangqiu looked slightly relaxed, and he felt relieved and said solemnly: "Mr. Hou is wise!"

"Then tell me, who is under my Great Chu who is worthy of this responsibility?" Qi Ning asked at Chen Liangqiu.

Chen Liangqiu thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Marquis, if you want to be the chief commander of the navy, you must have at least three conditions. First of all, you must understand the military affairs of the navy. It is best to come out of the navy. The navy is completely different from the legions on the land. General Xu Bei said very disrespectful. Even if General Yue of the Qinhuai Legion is sent here, it may not be appropriate."

"This is a good thing." Qi Ning said: "To command the navy, you naturally need an expert. Sending an outsider over here will only backfire."

"Secondly, we must be civil and military strategy." Chen Liangqiu said: "The old Marquis and the Grand Commander are both famous generals with civil and military strategy, and are deeply respected by the navy soldiers. If the civil and military personnel do not succeed, the soldiers of the entire army will naturally be disappointed and will not be able to develop a sense of awe."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "That is, you need to have the ability. The soldiers of the Donghai Navy are all under the command of the old Marquis and the Grand Commander. If anyone is sent, everyone will use him to compare the first two Grand Commanders. If the gap is too big, it will inevitably make the army dissatisfied." He asked again, "What is the last condition?"

"Of course, we must be loyal to the court." Chen Liangqiu said solemnly.

"The navy's talent, prestige, and loyalty!" Qi Ning nodded and said, "With these three points, you can indeed take on great responsibilities." Then he frowned and said, "When it comes to prestige and loyalty, there are many military generals in the court, but if there are still many people who can understand the navy's military affairs, it is only a few. After thinking about it, I couldn't think of one person." He sighed and said, "The old marquis is old, otherwise!" He didn't say anything.

Chen Liangqiu said: "Therefore, the court has not issued an order for a long time, perhaps because it is in a dilemma for selecting a new naval commander."

Qi Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Actually, I thought of a candidate, which is the most suitable one."

"I'm asking for advice!" Chen Liangqiu bowed.

Qi Ning carried his back with one hand behind her back and said, "This man comes from the East China Sea Navy. He is very familiar with the affairs of the water army, has outstanding talents, and has enough prestige among the East China Sea Navy. The most important thing is his loyalty to the court. This man takes all the three points that General Chen said, and he can be said to be the most suitable candidate."

"What is the Marquis saying?"

"It's far away from the sky and is close to you." Qi Ning raised his hand to point at Chen Liangqiu's chest and laughed: "General Chen, can there be a second person besides you?"

Chen Liangqiu was shocked, but immediately bowed and said, "Marty, the humble general is afraid, this!"

"General Chen, I am not talking to you about polite words." Qi Ning said solemnly: "You have been following the Grand Commander to govern the navy before. Now you are the only one who is most familiar with the situation from top to bottom. If you take over the Grand Commander, the Donghai Navy will be able to be too steadily and there will be no turmoil. This is the best result for the Donghai Navy and the imperial court."

Chen Liangqiu frowned slightly and moved his lips slightly. Qi Ning continued: "After my father passed away, the court issued an order for the deputy general of his father, General Yue Huanshanyue, to replace the position of General Qinhuai Legion. Because of this, the Qinhuai Legion was calm and General Yue could also bear the burden left by his father in the shortest time. Now the situation of the Donghai Navy is almost the same as that of the Qinhuai Legion. As the deputy general around the Great Governor, you should also bear this burden."

Chen Liangqiu finally said: "Marty, although the humble position is willing to relieve the worries of the court, he is only afraid that he is not capable enough, but he will miss the major affairs of the court."

"If you can have the responsibility to shoulder heavy responsibilities, that's easy to say." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Although this marquis may not be able to influence the decision of the court, if this marquis successfully catches the Black Tiger Shark and I can reward you with me, I can recommend you to the emperor as the Grand Governor of the East China Sea Navy. What do you think?"

Chen Liangqiu immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "The humble general thanked the Marquis for his kindness for his support. He was very kind and great, and he would never forget his good deeds!"

Qi Ning reached out and helped him up, shook his head and said, "General Chen doesn't have to thank me. This marquis is also a wise man for the country." After pausing for a moment, he chuckled and said, "But all this will have to wait for this operation. Only by catching the black tiger shark and General Chen makes great contributions can I recommend it to the court, otherwise!"

Chen Liangqiu said: "The general understands that if the information is correct this time, the general will definitely capture the black tiger shark!"

Qi Ning laughed, then turned around, held his hands on the front railing, facing the sea, and the ship was still moving towards the rising sun.

"The sea is not shocked, but undercurrents are surging under the sea." Qi Ning looked at the sea, thought of something, and asked, "By the way, General Chen, there is one thing I have always been very strange. I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts?"

"Mr. Please speak!"

"There are four major beasts of the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black womb in legend." Qi Ning looked at Chen Liangqiu: "And the black womb is hiding in the sea. I heard that the black womb divine beast has Xuanwu pill in his mouth, which can restore the dead and change his fate against the heavens. Is this true?"

"The dead are resurrected, and they change their fate against the will of heaven?" Chen Liangqiu was stunned and then smiled and said, "I have really heard of the Xuanwu Divine Beast that the Marquis mentioned."

"Oh?" Qi Ning was very interested: "Is this really possible?"

Chen Liangqiu shook his head and said, "The general has heard of the Xuanwu Holy Beast, but the Xuanwu Pill can change his fate against the sky, but the general has never heard of it." After pausing, he said, "In the mouths of the fishermen in the East China Sea, there is really an ancient legend about the Xuanwu Divine Beast."

Qi Ning turned around and leaned against the railing and said, "Come on, come on, tell me, what kind of legend is it?"

Chen Liangqiu said: "As the Marquis said, there are four great beasts between heaven and earth, the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black womb. People all think this is just a myth, and no one has ever seen the four gods, but there are rumors that although not all the four gods are seen, the white tiger beast and the black womb have really seen it. The white tiger beast is hidden among the mountains in the southern border, and a hunter in the southern border revealed that he had seen the white tiger beast appear in the mountains."

Qi Ning said "Oh", and Chen Liangqiu continued: "And the Xuanwu Divine Beast is hidden at the bottom of the East China Sea. According to the legend passed down, the Xuanwu Divine Beast has obtained the fortune of heaven and earth. As long as you can eat a piece of Xuanwu meat, you can prolong your life."

Qi Ning thought to himself whether the Xuanwu Divine Beast was the incarnation of Tang Seng, but he did not interrupt. He heard Chen Liangqiu continue, "But if you want to see the Xuanwu Divine Beast, you must have a good fate accumulated over several lifetimes, and ordinary people will never see it. And the rumors also say that the Xuanwu Divine Beast will climb an island and reef in the East China Sea every thirty years, saying that it is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island and reef!" He shook his head and sighed, "This is just a folk legend, and it cannot be true."

"Do you climb an island every thirty years?" Qi Ning said in surprise: "Why is this?"

"There is no explanation in the legend, and there are many different opinions on which island the Xuanwu beast would climb to. There is no fixed number. There are hundreds of islands and reefs of all sizes in the East China Sea. No one can tell which island the Xuanwu beast would climb to. "Chen Liangqiu smiled faintly: "These legends are fewer now, and I believe they all know that they are just stories compiled by the ancients."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Ning smiled and said, "Migrating birds southward is a rule. Perhaps the Xuanwu Divine Beast is just a rule when it comes ashore in thirty years!"—
