The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and he felt the icy coldness coming from the five women in front of him. Zhu Chi did not show the slightest surprise, and his face full of sunshine and vitality remained calm. However, the look in his eyes
But the light in his heart became more and more powerful. It was obvious that there was no such thing as pity and cherishment in his thoughts.
"Stop!" After a loud shout, Qin Yang finally couldn't help but explode. He never expected that things would develop in this direction. Although Zhen Mi and others did have something wrong, Zhu Chi was like a stubborn stone.
His general personality also made him feel extremely angry.
"Husband..." The girls who were looking at Zhu Chi angrily suddenly saw Qin Yang stepping forward to block the two sides, and they couldn't help being slightly startled. Although Qin Yang seems to be playful and easy-going at ordinary times, he is the leader of thousands of armies after all.
The Yellow Turban King Ming has an innate kingly aura that is very majestic.
"If you have had enough trouble, take a good rest. If you still want to go to the fairy island, quickly pack your bags and prepare to go to sea." Qin Yang glanced at the beautiful faces of the ladies, with an unquestionable tone in his tone.
meaning.
"You..." Zhang Ning frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something else. However, she was stopped by Cai Yan and Da Qiao, who had already recovered. At this moment, everyone could see that Qin Yang was serious.
.
"Since my husband has an order, I will naturally obey it. Let's go down now..." Da Qiao nodded slightly to Qin Yang, looked at Zhu Chi before leaving and said, "General Zhu Chi, I have something to advise the general.
.Don’t underestimate women. There are many women in the world who are not inferior to men. General, please respect yourself.”
Zhu Chi looked at the leaving figures of the five women and smiled faintly. Then he turned to Qin Yang and said, "Your Highness, Prince Huangjin Ming, your wives should be properly disciplined..."
"Teng!" A hot flame instantly ignited in Qin Yang's palm. Qin Yang looked at Zhu Chi with a look of astonishment on his expressionless face, and said in a cold voice: "General Zhu Chi, there is something I want to remind you.
You, your lord, the Barbarian King Meng Huo, still want to call me your lord. They are all my wives, right or wrong, is it your place to comment? This is your first offense, so I will not pursue it further. If
There will be a next time. This is a lesson for you!”
After saying that, Qin Yang swung his hand violently, and the fiercely burning fireball in his hand suddenly shot out like a meteor. There was a loud sound of "Boom!", and a moment later, a three-meter-high fireball appeared more than ten meters away from the two of them.
The huge stone shattered instantly, and the stone fragments that flew out were already red and hot from the flames!
"Guan Hai, order the entire army to enter the water stronghold to rest and prepare for the sea." Qin Yang's voice sounded again, but his figure had already left Zhu Chi, who was a little stunned, and walked towards the water stronghold.
Cold sweat flowed down Zhu Chi's forehead. What made his heart palpitate was not the power of the blazing flames in Qin Yang's hands, but the aura of a king that almost made him want to surrender. Originally, he was still because
Qin Yang felt a bit of disdain and contempt for the conniving and groveling of the women, thinking that the famous Yellow Turban King Ming was just an empty name. But now, he fully understood what kind of man Qin Yang was.
The barbarian water stronghold was built on a vast white beach. Apparently because the Beast God Cave had just been opened more than ten years ago, there were only more than 300 barbarian soldiers stationed here. And the remaining space in the stronghold was enough for Qin
The five hundred personal guards brought by Yang were stationed here.
About one mile to the east of the water village, there is a cliff. Only after climbing the cliff can you see that there is a huge natural port in the depression of the cliff. There are more than ten ships with a length of about two meters moored in the port.
Huge sailing ships of 100 meters. Some sailing ships have obviously gone through countless years, and the wood of the hull has already begun to rot. The rusted rivets on the huge keel are undoubtedly no longer usable. According to Zhu Chi, these old and old ships
, all of which were carried by barbarian warriors who went to the Fairy Island in the past generations. In order to commemorate these warriors, these ships were not removed, but were left in the dock as a spiritual fortress to inspire those who came after them.
Naturally, Qin Yang would not be too surprised by these large ships. After all, he had also seen an aircraft carrier, so how could he be shocked by this "small ship" that was more than 100 meters long?
But the rest of the Yellow Turban generals were different, even Gan Ning, who once served in the Jingzhou Navy. After seeing such a huge ship, Gan Ning, who loved this craft, couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration.
"General Zhu Chi, I really didn't expect you barbarians to be able to build such a large warship! Such a large ship is definitely a behemoth even among the Central Plains naval forces!" Gan Ning caressed the rotting ship.
He built a huge keel and praised Zhu Chi. There was no contempt in his tone for the barbarians' technological backwardness in the Central Plains. Instead, he was sincerely shocked that such a huge warship could be built.
Zhu Chi still didn't show any pride or humility on his face, but simply said: "General Gan Ning has been praised. The sea is boundless and the wind and waves are extremely strong. We can only try to build bigger ships to sail on the sea.
We started building the ships here twenty years after the warriors returned from the Fairy Island. Generally speaking, when the ships are built, it will be almost time for the Beast God Cave to open again."
"Twenty years after returning?! That means this ship will take more than eighty years to build?!" After hearing this, Qin Yang, who had just started to look at the barbarians with admiration because of Gan Ning's praise, couldn't help but exclaim.
exclaimed.
Eighty years, which means that with the power of the barbarians, it would take almost four generations of work to build such a large ship! Originally, Qin Yang was thinking about sending people to learn shipbuilding techniques from the barbarians after he came back, but after hearing this time
After the span, I immediately gave up the idea...
Zhu Chi did not hear the implication of Qin Yang's words. He nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, going to the Beast God Cave is the top priority for our barbarians. Therefore, our clan leaders have not hesitated to send the best craftsmen among our clan to build ships.
.Otherwise, once the construction period is delayed and the time to board the Fairy Island is delayed, it will be regrettable."
"Haha, that's it..." Qin Yang laughed dryly and stopped talking. The best craftsman in the tribe? He has a deep understanding of this sentence. You know, when he just arrived in southern Xinjiang, those barbarians
The "skilled craftsmen" can't even build the simplest vehicle frame. It's really difficult for them to build such a warship for more than 80 years...
Suddenly, Qin Yang thought of an extremely important question and couldn't help but ask: "General Zhu Chi, you just said that new ships will not be built until 20 years after the warriors return from the Immortal Island. So let's go to the Immortal Island this time.
…”
Zhu Chidao: "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ming. The latest warrior to go to the Immortal Island, our Great Barbarian King, returned more than ten years ago. Although the construction of the new sea ship has not yet begun.
However, the damage to the ship is minimal and it should still be able to go to sea. It only needs some minor repairs."
As he spoke, Zhu Chi pointed at a huge sailing ship in the far distance that didn't look that old, indicating that everyone could go and watch it.
"Let's go and have a look!" Qin Yang grabbed Gan Ning, who was studying the hull frame, and strode towards the ship Zhu Chi pointed to. Just kidding, Qin Yang had already begun to treat these eighty-year-old barbarians
The "skilled craftsmen" who built a ship every year were worried, and this time they had to use an old ship from more than ten years ago to go to sea. Before setting off, they had to have Gan Ning, the navy general, check it carefully.
"What a nice ship!" After arriving next to the big ship that Meng Huo and others had boarded, Gan Ning couldn't help but praise again. This time, even Qin Yang couldn't help but nodded slightly. The worries just now dissipated.
few.
The tall hull is nearly 20 meters long, and the total length of the hull has exceeded the 200-meter limit of the first ship seen. The entire hull is made of water-resistant giant trees unique to the Southern Barren Mountains. Although it has undergone more than ten years or even more
Despite being corroded by seawater for a long time, it still looks extremely solid. The huge rivets are as bright as new, except for a few spots where the tung oil has peeled off, showing spots of rust.
After boarding the bow of the ship along the wooden gangway, the scene in front of us suddenly became clear. Although the warehouses and other buildings on the barbarian ships were very simple, there was no place that did not show the kind of meticulous craftsmanship that was almost pious. Moreover,
When walking on the deck, the place where you stand does not feel empty at all. It must be much more stable in the sea than ordinary ships. Seeing this scene, Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This craftsmanship
, it’s really worthy of the number eighty years!”
"Eh? General Zhu Chi, how could the left side of the ship be damaged like this?!" Gan Ning interrupted Qin Yang's admiration with a soft cry. As soon as he heard the damage, Qin Yang's heart sank and he quickly looked at Gan
The direction Ning pointed to.
The left side of the ship originally faced the outside of the port. It could not be seen without boarding the bow. But what was displayed in front of everyone's eyes was a shocking sight.
The huge log, nearly two meters thick, was shattered from it. Even more than ten years later, the broken wood stubbles still stretched out horribly. Looking closely, one area was nearly three meters in diameter.
A huge hole measuring 3 meters appeared on the left side of the ship. Judging from the shape and size of the hole, it was definitely caused by a huge impact! And in the sea, what such a huge thing could hit the ship?
Is it a reef? A giant whale? Or... Qin Yang shook his head and instantly abandoned "iceberg", a thing with a modern love meaning.
"Oh, this is the scar caused by the ghost ship on the sea. Don't worry, general. If you only repair this place, it will only take a few days. Because the situation of this trip to sea is urgent, I have ordered people to remove it from other ships.
The materials are here for repair." Zhu Chi said in his characteristic plain tone.
"What did you say?!" Qin Yang couldn't help but let out a soft cry after hearing this.
Zhu Chi glanced at Qin Yang in surprise and said, "Well, if we go all out, two days should be enough. Is His Highness Prince Ming so anxious to go to sea?"
"I'm anxious? Uh, no! That's not the point... How did you create this hole just now?" Qin Yang waved his hand hurriedly and asked.
Zhu Chi said calmly: "It's a ghost ship on the sea..."
"Ghost ship..." Qin Yang took a breath of air, and at this time the rest of the generals also noticed this word.
"General Zhu Chi, who is this ghost ship?" Gan Ning frowned and asked.
"Oh, there are probably nearly a hundred ghost ships around Fairy Island. It is said that these ghost ships are all the souls of the souls that have been destroyed in the vast sea for countless years. Thousands of years ago, it can be said that there was an extremely terrifying wave on the sea.
Power. Anyone who dares to sail a boat out to sea will probably be swallowed by it. But since the appearance of the Beast God on the Fairy Island, these ghost ships have been summoned by the Beast God and only wander in the sea near the Fairy Island.
I have taken on the responsibility of protecting the Immortal Island." Zhu Chi said calmly.
"So, if we want to go to the fairy island, do we have to break through the blockade of this ghost ship?!" Qin Yang asked, cursing Meng Huo in his heart, why didn't you tell me such an important thing in the first place? Are you afraid of me?
After hearing this, I didn’t dare to go to Fairy Island anymore?! If that were the case, I could go home directly now!
Zhu Chi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Prince Ming. After the Beast God Cave is opened, as long as the flag of our barbarians is hung on the ship, the ghost ship will not stop us."
"Then this big hole..."
"Well, because I was still young at the time, I heard what my sister Zhu Rong said. At that time, the ship they were traveling on had just experienced a big storm, and the flag on the mast happened to be swept away by the waves. At that time, they had just entered
The sea area near Fairy Island was attacked by this ghost ship. Later, after taking out the flag, it was released."
"I see... In this way, I'm overthinking..." Qin Yang let out a sigh of relief after hearing this and said with a relaxed smile.
Zhu Chi also nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Apart from some ferocious sea beasts, you will not encounter any danger on the way to the fairy island. And when you get near the fairy island, you will be protected by these ghost ships. You will definitely
no problem."
Qin Yang nodded and said with a smile: "I can rest assured of this. Not to mention that there is no danger, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, since I have promised the Barbarian King, I will never go back on it... Wait, sea beast?! What sea beast?
?”
Although Zhu Chi was very surprised by Qin Yang's surprise, he still said calmly: "The so-called sea beasts are just some of the more powerful killer whales, sharks, octopuses, jellyfish, etc. Although they are also under the throne of the beast god
They are strange beasts, but they are not very friendly to us barbarians. Sometimes they will attack our ships."
After Qin Yang heard this, he forced himself to laugh and comforted himself: "Well, that's it... Then the strength of these sea beasts will not be too strong, right? Otherwise, the barbarian warriors will not be able to successfully transform into immortals every time.
Came back from the island."
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Chi shook his head extremely seriously and said: "I have never seen the specific strength of the sea beast. I dare not say. However, the warriors of our barbarian tribe who went to the fairy island were buried in the hands of the sea beast.
some."
"Buried in the hands of sea beasts?! How could these ships come back in such good condition..." Qin Yang was startled, then pointed at the warships at his feet and exclaimed.
Zhu Chi glanced at Qin Yang in surprise and said calmly: "Of course the ships that came back were not attacked by sea monsters? And of those ships that were attacked by sea monsters, almost none of them could return to land intact. Well, I
Think about it... the ratio is probably about one-fifth."
"A ship attacked by sea beasts?! One fifth?" Qin Yang's brain instantly short-circuited and muttered: "Didn't it take you more than eighty years to build such a ship? How could..."
After hearing Qin Yang's words, the expression on Zhu Chi's face finally changed. He was not angry, but had an expression similar to contempt on his face, and said lightly: "Dear Your Highness King Ming, I just said the shipbuilding time
It takes eighty years, but you never said we would only build one ship in eighty years, right?"
"Uh... I guess I haven't said that..." Qin Yang touched his nose and said awkwardly. This is also true. Building a sea ship in eighty years is almost entirely Qin Yang's own preconceived imagination.
Zhu Chi continued: "Every time our barbarian warriors go to the Fairy Island, there is almost a fleet of about ten ships. Generally speaking, when going to the Fairy Island, the attacks from sea beasts are not very violent. And when they come back, because
Mostly because there are other strange beasts on the ship, sea beasts will attack the ship crazily... However, because of the blessing of the beast god, every time our barbarian warriors go to sea, at least one ship will return safely."
"One ship..." Qin Yang wanted to kill the seemingly honest Meng Huo immediately back to Jiaozhou City! Ten ships went out and one came back? Is this the blessing of the beast god?! Could it be that this boy Meng Huo
Did you deliberately let yourself bring someone to serve as the denominator?
"General Zhu Chi, since we have used this ship that the Barbarian King once used, what will the warriors of other nobles use to go to sea?" Gan Ning seemed to have heard the key to the problem.
"Others? There is no one else!" Zhu Chi said with a very innocent expression.
"What?! You mean we are the only one going out to sea this time?" Qin Yang said almost roaring.
Zhu Chi nodded seriously, a glimmer of admiration suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said: "Yes, this time I will accompany His Highness and the brave generals to go to sea. The opening of the Beast God Cave was too hasty this time.
Almost all of our barbarian warriors were lost in the recent wars more than ten years ago, and there is only one ship that can go to sea... Fortunately, we barbarians have friends like His Highness King Ming who are willing to help us regardless of their lives.
I wish Chi, on behalf of millions of barbarian people, to thank His Highness for your bravery and generosity!"
"Bravery and generosity?!" Qin Yang could not wait to kick Zhu Chi, who looked like a big boy with a sunny face in front of him, directly into the sea to feed the fish! A ship was besieged twice by ferocious sea beasts! If it goes according to the past situation
Look, the chance of survival is almost zero!
"By the way, where is Pang Tong? Hasn't this guy been encouraging me to go to sea personally? Where is he now?"
"Uh, Your Highness, have you forgotten? Mr. Pang and Military Advisor Guo went fishing at the beach..." Guan Hai said loudly in a hurry.
"Shit! Fishing?! I'll throw these two guys into the sea and feed the sea beasts for breakfast!"...
