Pick up a female emperor as a wife

Qin Chuan stroked his hair and said, "Qingyue, listen carefully!"

"I'm all ears!" Qingyue responded.

"Brother, my method is very simple. Make the simplest boat and go around Dongling County by sea." Qin Chuan said very clearly.

Qingyue felt that Qin Chuan was crazy: "Take the sea route? The sea is vast. On a sunny day with the sun, we can still tell the direction. But if it is cloudy or rainy, we can't tell the direction at night. We may not be able to get around Dongling County and will be lost in the sea!

I don't want to hear your specious arguments. I just want to know why you didn't take our young lady away by sea if you had the ability to do so."

Nangong Wan was also quite troubled. It seemed that Qin Chuan's words were made in a hurry and he made a mistake. He did not take into account that it was difficult to tell the direction in the vast ocean.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I really couldn't tell the direction in the sea before, but I had made preparations in the county the day before yesterday. With me there, there will be no problem with the direction."

"Preparation? Let me see what preparations you have made first!" Qingyue secretly made up her mind to expose Qin Chuan so that Nangong Wan would give up this burden!

"Then you better open your eyes and watch carefully!"

Qin Chuan went to the kitchen and fiddled with it for a while, then brought out a basin of water.

I saw a reed in the water, and inside the reed there was a needle.

"Can this thing identify directions???" Qingyue almost laughed.

"This thing is a simple compass. The two ends of the iron needle will always point to the south and the north! As long as you can distinguish between north and south, you can tell the direction even in the vast ocean at night. I won't tell you the principle behind it, because you won't understand it even if I tell you." Qin Chuan explained proudly.

He had wanted to make a compass a long time ago, but making a compass requires magnets, which were of no use in the era before the compass was invented.

Therefore, he had not seen this thing in the six months since he traveled through time.

Maybe he was lucky enough. The day before yesterday when he went to sell oyster sauce, he found this thing at a stall selling rare and exotic items and bought it.

Originally, he had not thought that Nangong Wan's people would rebel, so he thought of making a compass. If successful, he could try to sell it after arriving in the capital in the future.

I didn't expect that I would need it today.

"absurd!"

Qingyue didn't believe it at all, she immediately stepped forward and shook the iron needle stuck on the reed.

But then, Qingyue and Nangong Wan both looked surprised.

Just look at the clear moon, no matter how it shakes or turns, after the needle stops, it will always point to due south and due north, without the slightest deviation.

In an era when the compass had not yet been invented, this sign was simply a miracle.

"Qin Chuan, how did you do it?" Nangong Wan asked eagerly.

"Use the magnetic field." Qin Chuan smiled mysteriously.

After hearing this, Nangong Wan did not continue to ask questions because she had no idea what a magnetic field was.

She only knew that the rebels here would never think that they would take the sea route, and with this thing they could take the sea route to bypass Dongling County!

Although Nangong Wan didn't think that it was Qin Chuan who defeated Ling Ran and Shangguan Xiong last night, at least this time it was Qin Chuan who brought her hope! It could even be said that he saved her life!

Nangong Wan will never forget this kindness!

When looking at Qin Chuan again, Nangong Wan suddenly thought that since she met Qin Chuan, he could always create surprises for her. Could it be that he was not just an ordinary country boy?

She quickly denied it.

This place is very close to the sea. Sixty years ago, before the government spread rumors, people here made a living from the sea. Whether it is oyster sauce or compass, they may have been left behind by their ancestors and learned by Qin Chuan.

Qingyue, who was so conceited just now, was now extremely embarrassed. She was also a flexible person, so she immediately bowed and apologized to Qin Chuan: "Sir, I was ignorant and offended you just now, please forgive me!"

Qin Chuan seemed to have succeeded in slapping his opponent in the face. Besides, although Qingyue had a bad temper and sharp eyes, she was also very beautiful.

He didn't plan to continue slapping her in the face, but helped her up with a smile: "Haha, why call me sir? From now on, just call me brother, Brother Chuan!"

Qingyue looked at Nangong Wan in embarrassment. Even if Nangong Wan and Qin Chuan had no future, Qin Chuan was now Nangong Wan's husband on the surface. How dare she overstep her boundaries?

"Go ahead, call me Brother Chuan from now on!" Nangong Wan ordered.

"Here!"

Qingyue had never called a man "brother" in her life. Even though she had killed countless people in the past, it was still difficult for her to open her mouth. She held it back until her cheeks turned red before she shouted, "Chuan, Brother Chuan!"

"Haha, good!" Qin Chuan laughed triumphantly.

After the laughter, Qin Chuan looked at the sun and knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he dragged out the bags he had packed and said, "I'll go pick up Wolong and Fengchu first, and then we'll go to the beach!"

Nangong Wan did not stop Qin Chuan.

Building a boat is not an easy task. Adding two more people can speed up the process, not to mention that manpower is needed for the boat to move forward.

Qin Chuan went to call Tian Tianci and Niu Dali, not to use them as laborers, but because after spending some time with them, Qin Chuan saw their value.

Secondly, Qin Chuan doesn’t want to be a dishonest person!

The two of them had been prepared for this, and when they saw Qin Chuan coming and asking them to say goodbye to their families immediately.

In order to make them feel at ease, Qin Chuan also gave each family twenty taels of silver as settling-in expenses.

That’s twenty taels!

Tian Tianci and Niu Dali's families are all poor, and have never seen so much silver!

Everyone was moved to tears of gratitude, and their initial reluctance turned into excitement.

After a few people gathered together, they rode fast horses towards the beach.

It is too late to make a real boat now, but making a raft is more realistic.

The seaside area is rarely visited all year round and is covered with dense trees.

As for the wood used to make the raft, Qin Chuan had thought about going to sea before and had conducted some experiments.

Pine wood can be used as the bottom of a raft because of its straightness and corrosion resistance. Cypress is also very suitable due to its good water resistance and fine fiber structure.

After entering the forest, we headed straight for these two types of wood.

Since Niu Dali was tall and strong, a good worker, and they had horses, they made the raft in half an hour.

As Qin Chuan raised the sail, they sailed into the sea.

There were no pursuers throughout the entire process.

Qin Chuan felt comfortable in the sea breeze and shouted to the north: "Imperial Capital, I, Qin Chuan, am here!"

"I, Tian Tianci, am here too!"

"Hey, I'm here too!"

Tian Tianci and Niu Dali immediately echoed.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan's beautiful face showed an unprecedented relaxed smile.

In just a few days, she will arrive in the imperial capital and return to the throne, and kill all the rebels in Dongling County!

After drifting on the sea for ten days, Qin Chuan and others landed on a deserted beach.

Then they headed west.

Half a day later, a city appeared in front of them.

Qingyue looked around and said with joy: "Miss, Lincheng is ahead. It is only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. If we ride fast horses, we can reach the imperial capital tonight!"

"Haha, I, Qin Chuan, will be able to visit my father-in-law soon!"

Before Nangong Wan could react, Qin Chuan said excitedly.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan's originally excited mood suddenly turned into panic.

She will soon arrive in the imperial capital. How should she deal with her relationship with Qin Chuan?

She had told Qin Chuan before that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. If Qin Chuan went to visit his father-in-law, how should she respond?
