The rocket soared into the sky and passed by in a flash. No one saw the boat until the flames disappeared.
this……
Everyone was dumbfounded. If this huge thing in front of them is really a ship, then how big... is this ship!!?
Is it twice as big as the ship he is on? Twice?
The sea fog is still diffuse, and in the thick fog, the giant thing is looming, but it adds to the deep sense of oppression, as if it is about to topple at any time.
No wonder Xu Zun couldn't help but put his head in his hands when he saw it just now.
"How could this happen?" Huo Anu's eyes widened in shock. He had never seen such a strange sight in his life.
At this moment, Xiao Zhennan stood in front of the huge object, lowered his head to measure the distance, and murmured: "This object is still five feet away from the ship, and it is located on the right side of the ship's side..."
He thought carefully about something, and after a while he asked the sailor: "How far down is the anchor?"
"About ten feet!" replied a sailor below.
"So..." Xiao Zhennan said, "Can the ship pass?"
"Ms. sir," Han Feier couldn't help but say, "the situation is unknown, so it's better not to rush in, okay?"
"Um……"
Xiao Zhennan frowned and looked at the huge object in front of him. If this object is really a ship, then it means that there are unknown dangers here and it is really not suitable to go deep.
So, he came to Xu Zun and said: "Master Xu, look..."
However, Xu Zun was still staring at the behemoth in a daze. After hearing Xiao Zhennan's question, Xu Zun asked without turning his eyes:
"Captain Xiao, is there such a big ship in the world?"
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Han Feier took the lead and said, "I am afraid that only I, Daxuan, can build such a huge sea ship in this world! Huh?"
In an instant, Xiao Zhennan and his wife understood what Xu Zun meant.
"It just flashed by," Xu Zun said, "Why do I feel... this is like a new ship?"
ah……
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this.
Xu Zun's meaning is very obvious. It is a Daxuan giant ship and a new one at the same time. Could it be that... it is the ship of the Crown Prince's mission!!?
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zun finally turned his head, looked at Wu Yubao and others, and asked: "Did you all see it when the prince's delegation went to sea? What ship did they take?"
"Prince...Prince..." Wu Yubao looked at his men, as if he wasn't quite sure.
"Yes, yes!" At this time, a sailor remembered something, "The prince is riding on the Tianfu battleship. The side of the ship is high... high... fifteen feet, right?"
oh……
There was an exclamation on the deck, and everyone was shocked and excited.
If this ship is the Tianfu ship that the prince is traveling on, does that mean that they will be able to find the prince soon?
As long as they find the prince, they will be able to return home and get high-ranking officials and generous salaries...
"Shangguan Min," Xu Zun raised his hand and said, "shoot another arrow!"
Shangguan Min immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, and another rocket took off into the sky.
This time, everyone widened their eyes, fearing that they could not see clearly.
Wherever the fire passed, the huge ship side appeared again. This was indeed a giant ocean-going ship!
However, everyone also saw that the huge hull was tilted and tilted to the outside. It was unknown whether it had run aground or suffered heavy damage.
"Hey," Zhao Yu asked the soldier, "can you see clearly? Is this the prince's ship?"
"This..." The soldier was in a dilemma, "Sir... how can I say this accurately?"
Indeed, due to the thick fog, when the rocket reaches a certain height, it is submerged in the thick fog. Even the hull of the boat cannot be seen. How can it be identified?
"Let's do this!" Xu Zun discussed with Guan Min, "Put down the boat and let's go down and explore!"
"Okay!" Xiao Zhennan seemed to have this intention.
Now that I have seen the big ship, I naturally cannot give up and find out what's going on no matter what.
Next, the sailors began to put down the boat, and Xu Zun began to arrange the expedition manpower.
There are two boats, which can seat twelve people in total.
Gu Qing
First of all, Xu Zun must go in person. The matter is important and cannot be neglected.
Secondly, Xiao Zhennan must stay behind, and the captain must be left on the ship.
Finally, Ku Niang, A Ni, and Huo A Nu must follow to ensure their combat effectiveness.
"Sir, it's okay, just let me follow you!"
When Zhao Yu saw Xu Zun abandoning him, he knew it was for his own good, because Zhao Yu was not used to water.
"No."
Xu Zun winked at him, which meant that there must be a reliable person on the ship in case something changes.
Seeing that Xu Zun had made up his mind, Zhao Yu stopped saying anything.
"I'll go!" At this time, Han Feier took the initiative to ask for help, "In case I meet a local, it would be nice to have a translator!"
"this……"
In fact, Xu Zun originally wanted to take her with him because Han Feier was experienced.
But, I wonder if Xiao Zhennan agrees?
As a result, Xiao Zhennan was the first to nod and said, "I think so too!"
sharp!
Xu Zun secretly pointed his finger at him. If a husband like Xiao Zhennan were placed in modern times, he would be worth a hundred and forty slaps.
Among the guards, Xu Zun chose Dai Long, a desperate man, Shangguan Min, a good shooter, and two others.
The sailors arranged for two more rowers, and the last one, Xu Zun, asked to bring the prisoner who could speak Daxuan dialect.
I brought this person with me because he is from Donghai, and he may know some information that others don't know.
After the manpower arrangements were completed, the expedition team members were fully armed and boarded the boat.
As the sailors lowered the cable, they descended to the surface of the sea.
The sea is still calm, as if this is not the sea but a secluded lake somewhere.
After the boat settled, Ani couldn't help but reach out and scoop out a handful of sea water, and found that the sea water was cold and nothing unusual.
The sailor took up the oars and steered the small boat towards the huge monster on the right side of the warship.
When they paddled under the giant creature, within reach, everyone stretched out their hands to touch it.
As soon as I touched it, I was excited again.
This is indeed a wooden ship side, indicating that the thing in front of you is a deep-sea giant ship! And it is most likely the ship that Prince Li Xun is riding on.
Such a huge warship completely shocked Xu Zun's cognition.
He has learned the story of Zheng He's voyages to the West, and also knows that the ship Zheng He took was very large, and horses could be raced on the deck.
But to what extent it was, he had no idea.
Now it seems that if this giant ship is owned by Prince Daxuan, it shows how developed Daxuan's shipbuilding industry is.
"Your Majesty is right," Han Feier touched the wooden planks of the ship's side with his hand, "This ship is indeed a new ship, but I don't know why it dumped here..."
right!
After Han Feier's reminder, Xu Zun thought of something important. Regardless of whether this ship was the Tianfu ship that the prince was riding on, he must know why it sank here?
So, everyone rowed small boats and groped along the bottom of the giant ship. After rowing for a long time, they found the bow.
From the angle of the bow, you can see that the giant ship is tilting inward at 60 degrees, and it seems that there is a high possibility of running aground on the rocks.
After everyone walked around the bow of the ship, they discovered that the giant ship was clinging to the cliff of the island and leaning on one side of the cliff.
Put it this way...
Xu Zun began to think about it, feeling that the giant ship seemed to have hit the cliff and was stranded here.
Could it be...
It was also because of the sea fog that the giant ship didn't know there was an island here, so it crashed into it?
Everyone watched for a long time and were thinking about how to get on the boat and search.
But at this moment, Ani, who was watching, pointed to the opposite side of the giant ship and said, "Look... there is light there!!!"
