It was daylight, and order had been restored on the warship, which gradually became orderly.
At this moment, the sailors, under the command of Xiao Zhennan, began to clean the deck, place supplies, repair the sails, prepare cooking utensils, and start cooking.
Ani turned into a ship's doctor, treating the wounds of every injured soldier and bandaging them.
Han Feier's gunshot wound has also been treated by Ani, the remaining ammunition has been cleaned out, and ointment has been applied.
The good news is that through a simple inventory, the warship has reached the standard for long-distance voyages, and because it has much fewer personnel than expected, the material reserves are very rich and can sustain the voyage for at least half a year.
However, the Yongming Naval Battle consumed too much weapons and ammunition. If there is another large-scale naval battle, the ammunition will not be sustainable.
However, Xu Zun was not too worried. After all, they went to the East China Sea to find people, not to fight.
The sea breeze was blowing on my face, and it was very cool.
I don’t know because we are in the deep sea. There are almost no birds on the sea. We can only see a large group of jellyfish in the water under the boat...
"To be honest," Zhao Yu lay on the bow of the boat with a bitter expression on his face, "This is my first time going to sea on a boat! I didn't expect that the sea would be like this..."
"What does it look like?" Xu Zun asked.
"Well... it's a bit scary," Zhao Yu replied with understanding, "and a bit excited, it's too big..."
Xu Zun then remembered that Zhao Yu was not used to water and could not swim. Huo Anu kicked him into the river and almost drowned him.
"The scenery on the sea is so picturesque, I wanted to write a poem and give it to the world." Xu Zun suddenly composed a poem, "But I have no culture, I can only Cao Lang is so big!"
"..." Zhao Yu suddenly felt a burning sensation, and could not see his master more and more clearly.
However, Zhao Yu's innate stubbornness finally gave him thumbs up and praised: "What a poem!"
A "good poem" made Xu Zun laugh...
"My lord, my lord..." Zhao Yu then remembered the business and asked, "We took everything into consideration last night, but you still missed something, right?"
"Missed one point?" Xu Zun was puzzled, "Not three o'clock?"
Zhao Yu naturally didn't understand Xu Zun's joke, and immediately said seriously: "Sir, let's forget about the people in the Prince's Mansion!
"It means that there is no one on the ship who knows the prince!
"You just told me to find someone to draw a portrait of the prince last night, but we haven't had time to draw it yet..."
"Haha..." Xu Zun smiled faintly, took out a piece of drawing paper from his sleeve, and said, "Go and circulate it to everyone so that everyone can remember the person in the portrait!"
"ah?"
Zhao Yu was surprised and quickly took the drawing paper and opened it, only to see a handsome young man drawn on it.
There is a mole on the lower right corner of the boy's lip.
"Sir, you are truly a god!" Zhao Yu admired him greatly, "So you already have a portrait?"
"Yes," Xu Zun said, "I asked Manager Cai to find a palace painter to paint this. In addition, Prince Li Xun suffers from an eye disease and his right eye will twitch habitually."
"Okay," Zhao Yu nodded, "I'll let everyone on the ship know."
After saying that, Zhao Yu took the portrait and wanted to leave.
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun asked, "what do you know about this country?"
"Chen Meng?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "I'm really not sure about this. You'd better ask Mr. Xiao and his wife! Huh?"
glutinous rice
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What? You don't feel like something is wrong again, do you?"
"nothing……"
Xu Zun shook his head. He had a vague feeling last night that when the three words "Chen Meng Country" were mentioned, the expressions of Xiao Zhennan and his wife were slightly strange.
According to my own knowledge, this Fenmeng country is located in the southeast corner of the East China Sea. It is a relatively mysterious ocean island country. There is very little information about them.
However, since this country is among the ten countries in the East China Sea that the Daxuan Mission visited, there must be nothing wrong with it, right?
To be honest, Xu Zun felt that there was still a chance of finding news about the prince from the Meng Kingdom, because for these small countries in the East China Sea, Prince Daxuan's mission to the ten countries in the East China Sea was a top priority.
If they had not waited for the Daxuan envoy to visit, they would have definitely sent out ships to inquire about what they should know.
Even if he could know where the prince was attacked, it would still be a gain.
Zhao Yu was quick-witted and well aware of Xu Zun's character, but now he still made a mistake and assured Xu Zun:
"Sir, although I am not very familiar with these two people, I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with them.
"First, they are people invited by our Zhao family, and this alone is enough to reassure them.
"Second, these two people owe me the favor of the Zhao family. If not, they would not have gone to the dock with us last night!"
oh……
Xu Zun knew that the Zhao family in Liaozhou was always known for their well-informed intelligence, so since he was the person they invited, there was no need to doubt him.
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun thought of something and asked casually, "You always like rankings. In your opinion, how far can the skills of Daxia Xiao and my wife be ranked compared to Daxuan?"
"Well, you are making things difficult for me," Zhao Yu said, "These two people have been active overseas all year round, and they are not particularly famous.
"Judging from yesterday's performance," he commented solemnly, "Xiao Daxia is better than me and Huo Anu, but Han Nuxia is a little behind."
"Yeah... I understand."
Xu Zun nodded. He knew that Zhao Yu said it more euphemistically. In fact, Xiao Zhennan and his wife would not be on the ranking list at all.
"Kuniang..." Zhao Yu looked into the distance, and after not seeing Kuniang, asked Xu Zun, "Is she okay?"
"It should be fine." Xu Zun replied, but noticed something strange about Zhao Yu and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of the iron coffin!" Zhao Yushen said naggingly, "No wonder the iron coffin can only be used to imprison Ku Niang!"
Xu Zun realized that Zhao Yu must have remembered what happened last night when Ku Niang's fingers were inserted into the side of the ship.
He had just heard the soldiers discussing that the Daxuan warship was equipped with fenders on both sides. The fenders were made of cypress wood soaked in tung oil. They were as hard as iron and could not be broken even with axes and chisels.
Therefore, the scene last night was really like seeing a ghost.
Until now, everyone felt uncomfortable when they saw Ku Niang or mentioned Ku Niang.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world," Zhao Yu said after thinking, "I feel more and more that if Ku Niang and Yue Jinglei fight, Yue Jinglei's chances of winning are really slim!"
"Okay," Xu Zun said immediately, not wanting to expand Ku Niang's matter any further, "first show everyone the portrait of the prince.
"Then, you will be responsible for the personnel work of our ship. Find out the details of everyone and prepare a detailed list as soon as possible."
"No way?" Zhao Yu said, "Are you too cautious? Is there something fishy in these people?"
"Just do it," Xu Zun said seriously, "regardless of whether there are tricks or not, it's best to know what's going on..."
