Great Tang Southern Emperor

There was another panic on the deck...

Chapter 927 Desperate

Chapter 286 Desperate

When Qi Bin woke up again, it was already dark. Looking at the ship doctor who was waiting beside him, Qi Bin said bitterly, "Where is He Lian? Where did he go?"

"Second officer is arranging the wounded." The ship's doctor was also very depressed. I think he had been with the ship several times, but it was the first time he suffered such a serious loss: "Many people who survived this time were injured. There are still a few who have been permanently disabled, and now the fleet is short of medical care, adults are trying to figure out a way."

"Damn..." Qi Bin closed his eyes in pain, the boat doctor was lying, and now they are at sea, even if He Lian wants to break his head, what can he do?Could he conjure medicinal materials out of thin air?

"..." The ship doctor backed out after checking Qi Bin's body, and the cabin returned to calm again.

After a long time, He Lian walked in: "Lord Qi Bin, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine." Qi Bin lifted the sheet wrapped around his body, leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "Is there any news about the group who attacked us? Who are they?"

"I don't know." He Lian shook his head slowly: "The only thing that is certain is that the other party is probably Tang."

"Tang Ren?" Qi Bin suddenly stood up: "Are you sure? How did you make sure?"

"When I was counting the losses just now, a sailor told me that he accidentally picked off the opponent's mask when he was fighting the opponent. Because he is also from the Northwest, he sensed that the opponent belongs to The kind of roughness of the Northwesterners..." He Lian explained: "And don't you think it's very strange that they attacked us while wearing masks? This shows that they don't want us to know their identities. The meaning of the sentence is that the identities of this group of people are likely to be familiar to us, even if we don't know them, there must be people in Datang who know them."

"Who the hell is it?" The matter became more and more confusing, Qi Lian covered his head in pain.

"But it's not without good news." He Lian's face softened a little: "It's true that we don't know each other, but Captain Dubin threw a human head over before leaving. But very fortunately, the head is still there and was picked up by our people."

Lieutenant Dubin is the leading captain on the third-tier battleship. He is about 40 years old. It is said that he was recruited by the prince after retiring from the emperor's imperial army. He is a veteran with rich experience. He also fought with His Majesty the Emperor, and even defended His Majesty. He can be said to be His Majesty's confidant. I am afraid that he has long been a landlord in his hometown, and he will not be dug into the fleet by the prince.

It's just that no one thought that such a seasoned old soldier would die in such an inexplicable naval battle, and he didn't even know what the opponent was when he was dying—no, he probably already knew the identity of the opponent , otherwise he wouldn't throw a human head inexplicably, that is to say...

He is very clear about the identity of that head, and he is also very clear that in Datang, there are still many people who know the identity of this head...

"Yes, it must be like this... To protect this human head, it must be pickled with the best limestone." Qi Bin immediately thought of the value of this human head: "And not only that human head, those who came to our ship , It is best to protect the corpses of the enemies who are finally beheaded by us, maybe we can get what we want from them."

"Yes, I'm already working on the layout." He Lian could naturally think of the problems that Qi Bin could think of, and he had already ordered to deal with this matter.As for the lime - this thing is necessary on the ship, because it is common for the cabin to be damp and leak when sailing at sea all the year round, so lime has become a necessary item for moisture protection, and there are a lot of them on the ship.

"Damn it, how should we explain to him when the captain wakes up?" After dealing with the good news, Qi Bin didn't relax much. The fleet has avoided many threats, and it is also very popular among the fleet.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty did not have the perverted exclusivity like the Song Dynasty, but was extremely inclusive (in fact, in the Tang Dynasty, many foreigners could get along well in the Tang Dynasty as long as they had the ability), so Sa Lun is not rejected by everyone, he is still very popular, and Qi Bin, the powerful faction on the ship, does not mean to look down on him...

But now there is a problem. Saren was seriously injured, and his whole body was shot through by the bed crossbow. Although it didn't hurt the vitals, the powerful impact of the bed crossbow still caused unavoidable heavy damage to Saren. The bones of the upper body suffered varying degrees of damage, the right shoulder blade was completely shattered, and even the lung was stabbed by the broken rib. After a day and a night of rescue by the ship's doctors, it was considered that he was brought back from the brink of death, but With Saron's current situation, it is absolutely impossible for him to suffer another major stimulus, otherwise, with his injuries, he will definitely be finished...

"If there is really no other way, then let Captain Saron be unconscious first." He Lian said with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about this, there is another problem. I just located our position and found that the big storm was driving us to Afterwards, it has traveled more than 300 miles, and this is still a completely unfamiliar sea area, if we want to go back, we have to walk for a few more days."

"Do we have enough supplies?"

"It's about the supplies." He Lian shook his head and said, "You know what our ship is loaded with. They are all spices. The supplies are not much in the first place. What's more, the ship that transported the supplies also miscalculated with us in the storm, so The food we have now can only last us three days."

"Damn it..." Qi Bin's forehead hurt even more. The fleet had just experienced a disastrous defeat and was hit by a storm. This time the voyage cast a shadow, it was simply a leaky house, windy and rainy...

"Couldn't God give us a way to survive?" When things got to this level, Qi Bin was a little desperate. The only way was to find an island where everyone could rest and recuperate, not just humans. , The ship also suffered heavy losses, and it also needs to find a place to repair it.

However, in this vast sea, where is there any place to stay?

Chapter 928

Chapter 287 Turning point

At this time, the fleet urgently needs to find a place to rest, but the sea is vast. Although there are many islands in the South Seas, they are not so many that they can be encountered in just two steps. What's more, this area is still an unfamiliar sea area. No one knows exactly how, in this case, they don't even dare to drive the boat too fast, let alone look for the island...

As for the good luck to just hit the island?

Qi Bin didn't even dare to think about it.

They are already so unlucky, how can any good luck come to them?

Not to mention anyone else, even Qi Bin himself didn't think he could have such good luck. What he prayed in his heart at this time was that as long as the situation of the fleet didn't continue to deteriorate, he would be thankful--although it seems Come to think of it, even this prayer is difficult to fulfill.

Not to mention encountering a turning point, that was something he didn't even dare to think about.

However, Qi Bin forgot that there is a saying in the Jianghu that the house is leaking, the wind is cloudy and rainy, but there is also a saying in the Jianghu that is called the road that the sky never stops. When the luck is extremely unlucky, when the bad luck has already made you feel hopeless, good luck will come naturally.

This sentence is called in the technical terminology of later generations-bottoming out.

Although it is a bit absolute and a bit superstitious to say so, the Saren fleet did encounter such a good thing this time. Just when Qi Bin and He Lian were lamenting despair in the captain's cabin, there was a sudden noise outside and... cheers Voice.

"Why is it so chaotic outside? Are there any rules?" When the noise reached Qi Bin's ears, he was distressed.

Qi Bin is very distressed at this time, he is trying to solve the problem of medicinal materials, but there is no need to worry too much about food, there are specially equipped fishing boats and professional fishermen in the fleet, and two of them were very lucky to escape the big storm With these two fishing boats, it shouldn’t be a problem to catch two or three thousand catties of fish a day. If you’re lucky, it might be more than that, and with the food left in the fleet, it should be enough The fleet was consumed in a short period of time.

The problem is the medicinal materials, because Saren only cares about dressing the spices, so that a considerable part of the medicinal materials has been reserved for the garrison on the Spice Island. Although there are still some on the ship, it is simply a drop in the bucket in the face of the small two thousand wounded. ——Although spices can also be used as medicinal materials, among all the spices, there are very few that can be used to heal wounds. Even if all of them are taken out, it is not enough. There may not be more than 1000 people who survived the wounded.

It was at this troubled time that the outside cheered unexpectedly, which made Qi Bin even more irritable when he was already in a bad mood.

"I'll go and have a look." He Lian walked out, but within a minute, he rushed in again.

"My lord, that's great, we've come across an island."

Qi Bin's words that he was planning to reprimand were suddenly suppressed in his heart, and then his anger turned into ecstasy: "What? Is this true?"

He Lian nodded again and again: "That's right, and the size of this island is not too small, and the vegetation is lush - we can definitely find enough wound medicine and wood on it."

"That's great." Qi Bin threw the brush in his hand fiercely: "It's really God's blessing. Come on, let's go out and have a look."

"Yes."

……

"That's great, it's God's blessing." Looking at the island in the distance, Qi Bin creaked the binoculars, feeling very excited inside, and repeated what he said before—he was so excited, and at this moment his mind was full of excitement. Blank, he couldn't think of other words at all.

"Quickly, let the fleet dock there." Qi Bin was so excited that he immediately ordered the fleet to move closer. It was true that the fleet had reached its limit, and he abandoned several ships that could not be repaired along the way. Closer, in fact, at least dozens of miles away from me, if I don't hurry up, there may be another ship that will be abandoned after this distance.

"But my lord, what if there are still traps on the island?" He Lian hesitated, but he still remembered the encounter three days ago. If he could investigate in advance, the fleet might not suffer such a big loss. up.

"It's okay, we are already like this, even if there is a trap, we will admit it." Qi Bin said indifferently, their situation is already like this, it doesn't matter if there is a trap or not.

This is like a person walking in the desert for three days and nights without drinking a sip of water or eating a sip of food. When he is about to collapse, he finds that there is a clear spring in front of him. There is a barbecue grill next to the clear spring. Roasted fragrant whole lamb is the same, so why do you care if there are any traps at this time?Even if there is a trap, you have become like this, don't you think you can survive even if you don't go up to eat meat?It doesn't matter if there are traps - at least if you eat it, you can still be a hungry ghost, if you don't eat it, you can only starve to death.

"Yes." He Lian also figured out the reason, and immediately began to command the fleet to approach the island.

The big ship was left there with a draft, so of course it couldn't directly dock. As the big ship broke down, countless small boats were lowered into the sea, and as the fleet's temporary commander, Qi Bin was naturally the first to board.

"In addition, send someone to check around to see if there is any trace of anyone's activities." Qi Bin ordered when he was about to disembark. Such an unknown death here, it is better to find out the surrounding situation first, it can be regarded as a rainy day, even if there are enemies, at least you must find out their origins, and at whose hands you died, it is better to be a understand ghosts.

"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it now." This was the proper meaning, and He Lian would naturally not object.

"My lord, this island is not small." Just as the two of them were talking, Yi Chong, the third officer of the fleet, also joined in. The island is gone, the matter can come to an end, and he finally squeezed out a little time, which can be regarded as showing his face.
