whale wave

In the morning light, the fishing boat carrying Chen Duanli, Chen Yu and others appeared in Yayu. The crew of the Fuxin boat had been waiting for their leader for a long time, and they all cheered in unison on the deck.

Yayu, which has always been quiet and far away from the waterway, is uncharacteristically moored with three sea ships, one is the Fuxin ship of the Chen family, the other two are the Zheng family's ship and Li Weiwu's warship.

Zheng's father and son and Li Weiwu told Chen Duanli that the boats of Yang's family and Wang's family were waiting for them in Marilu Port, and the two boats were willing to escort them back to the country in case Liu Heyue led the boat to attack again.

As long as they escaped the Liu family's attack on the way home, once Liu Zhenbao, Liu Zhong and others were escorted back to the country, the Liu family would be finished, and there would be no further mistakes, and the crime of collaborating with and being a bandit would be confirmed.

Chen Duanli immediately ordered to set sail and go to Marilu Port to join other ships.

They didn't encounter the Liu family's boat again, but they still couldn't take it lightly. Li Weiwu was very loyal, and personally led the warship to send the Chen's boat to the vicinity of Marilu Port before leaving.

The monks of the Yang family and the Wang family waited for a long time for the boat of the Wang family, and they got information about the Liu family's sea boat. The Liu family's sea boat was still wandering around a few days ago, but suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, and they didn't know what medicine Liu Heyue sold in the gourd.

"Now five of Liu Heyue's ships were destroyed by sea monsters, and the pirates under his command were defeated by us. Liu Zhenbao and Liu Zhong are still in our hands. I think Liu Heyue probably ran away." Zheng Sanguan thought If Liu Heyue is still acquainted, there is still time to return to China and escape with his family. When they arrive in China to expose the Liu family's crimes, a large number of sailors will be dispatched to arrest the Liu family's boat, and they will have no choice but to escape.

"Not necessarily, the Liu family still has a chance to intercept us at sea, but I don't know where it will be." Yang Huan disagreed, Liu Heyue was still leading several sea ships, and he hadn't really been defeated yet.

Zhao Yousheng had the same idea as Yang Huan, and the Liu family would not just let it go. He said: "Mostly in the Qizhou Ocean, which is the only seaway to enter China. There are many islands like stars and surrounded by hidden reefs. It is the best place to set up an ambush." .”

Chen Fan has always had a good intuition, and he felt that what Zhao Yousheng said was very reasonable, so he shouted to the needle room: "Gu Chang, bring the chart."

Gu Chang quickly took out a pair of nautical charts and spread them out in front of everyone. He stretched out his finger to point out the location of Qizhou Ocean. Qizhou Ocean is densely populated with islands and long and narrow seaways. When a ship passes by, once it is pinched from front to back, it is equivalent to closing the door and beating it. , unable to fight back.

Everyone gestured on the chart and discussed how to deal with it. They are all Chinese maritime merchants and are familiar with Qizhou Ocean. They are also familiar with a proverb: "Be afraid of Kunlun, and be afraid of Qizhou."

Kunlun refers to the Kunlun Ocean near Champa, and Qizhou refers to the Qizhou Ocean in the southeast of China. Shipwrecks often occur in these two places, and the weather is harsh and the environment is dangerous.

Several sea merchants gathered together to discuss, and quickly came up with a countermeasure. They made an appointment to set sail tomorrow morning, and returned to their respective ships to prepare.

The weather in Marilu is hot, and the nights are slightly cooler. Chen Yu, Zhao Yousheng, Chen Fan, and Zheng Yuanya are enjoying the cool on the stern deck of the ship. The four of them are sitting in front of the table drinking local cane syrup wine and chatting about what happened these days. I'm in a good mood.

Cane pulp wine is sweet but not intoxicating. Zheng Yuanya disliked it as worse than wine mixed with water. After drinking two bowls, he murmured to go to the warehouse to get rice wine. He left for a while and brought Gu Chang back. Each holds a jar of wine.

Seeing Zheng Yuanya digging up the mud from the wine jar, Chen Fan rarely joked: "Yuanya, if you get Gu Chang drunk, the boat will leave for Maoshan tomorrow morning."

Maoshan is the landmark of Xiyang, as soon as you get out of Maoshan, you will be Xiyang.

"What are you afraid of? It's not that Gu Zhoushi is here." Zheng Yuanya poured wine into the wine bowl in a hurry, and poured a bowl for everyone present.

Zhao Yousheng sipped the rice wine and said with a smile, "If you want to cross the ocean, I can do it for you."

"She Ren knows astrology?" Gu Chang was shocked, the knowledge of astronomy is very great.

Zheng Yuanya hugged Zhao Youcheng's back, he was like two brothers, he said proudly; "There is nothing in the world that Lao Zhao doesn't understand."

"You know too much." There was something in Chen Fan's words, and he looked at Zhao Youcheng suspiciously.Ever since Zhao Yousheng knew that Liu Heyue would poison his father, and the poison must be dandelion, Chen Fan became suspicious of Zhao Yousheng.

Chen Yu secretly held Zhao Youcheng's hand under the case, Zhao Youcheng looked back at him, and he smiled slightly.Chen Yu also felt suspicious about Ah Surplus, especially after he remembered the events of his previous life, but he didn't care.

"There is one thing I have never had time to ask Zhao Sheren. How did Sheren know that the antidote for Badan can be bought in the officialdom of Mayi Kingdom?" Chen Fan took this opportunity to drink and asked: "Before that, Scheeren has never been overseas, don't say you read it in a book, not many people know about Bataan."

Zhao Yousheng drank calmly, thinking that Chen Fan really deserved to be Chen Dafan, and he was the first to suffer overseas in this life, but not in his last life.

"Oh, I heard someone mention it by accident in the fan hall." Zhao Yousheng lied, his face was not red and his heart was beating.

Chen Fan had an expression of you teasing me. He didn't believe it at all, but he didn't ask too much. Seeing his brother's worried expression, he decided to let Zhao Youcheng go.

"Speaking of which, I also really want to ask my little boss. I heard from my uncle that the boat mound sea monsters only attack Liu's boat and not ours because the little boss is on board." Gu Chang's interest in strange things has never diminished. , he asked Chen Yu: "Can the little boss really be able to command sea monsters?"

"I...I can't order the sea monster to do what or not to do." Chen Yu shook his head, although his singing did make the sea monster let their ship go.

Zheng Yuanya said: "That's right, Xiaoyu has one mouth and two legs just like us, you gang of sailors spread the word."

Indeed, such an elegant young man doesn't look like a monster from any angle.

Gu Chang could only stop his curiosity. Everyone used to say that Chen Gangshou's youngest son was the son of a shark girl, but that was just a rumor. Now he knows for sure that he is a half shark, who can predict the wind and rain, and guide the boat. Team.

Tomorrow morning they were going to sail out to sea, everyone didn't dare to drink too much, they only drank a jug of wine and went back to their rooms to sleep. Not long after, only Chen Yu and Zhao Youcheng were left on the deck.

It was late at night, the sea breeze was cold, and the stars were shining above their heads. Chen Yu and Zhao Yousheng were leaning on the railing. They didn't look at the moon, but at the Yang Family's ship moored beside it. There was a person standing on the stern deck of the ship. It was Yang Huan. .

They looked at Yang Huan, and Yang Huan also looked at them.

Zhao Yousheng's arm wrapped around Chen Yu, obviously intentionally, and Chen Yu could sense his hostility towards Yang Huan.

Ever since he woke up in Yuyi and Chen Yu had the memory of his previous life, he would occasionally have a thought: Will Ah Left, like him, have the memory of his previous life?

That's why Ah Yuen buys sea ships to participate in maritime trade, and even ventures out to sea to participate in the suppression of bandits; that's why Ah Yuen can know in advance that Liu Heyue will poison his father;

Their figures were shrouded in the night, and Yang Huan, who was standing opposite, should not be able to see their movements clearly. Chen Yu leaned slightly on Zhao Yousheng's shoulder, and he felt a warmth on his neck, and Ah Left pressed his face against his neck.

Zhao Yousheng hugged Chen Yu's whole body tightly with his arms. He didn't say a word, but he seemed to be announcing.

Chen Yu asked softly, "Ah Leftover?"

"Let's go down."

Zhao Youcheng took Chen Yu's hand, and the two walked down the stairs. The stairs were dark, and Zhao Youcheng protected Chen Yu, afraid that he would step on the air.He took care of Chen Yu in every possible way, even in front of outsiders, he did not hide his love for Chen Yu, very frank.

The two returned to the cabin, and Chen Yu followed Zhao Yousheng to his room. He was on the boat before, and every night, Chen Yu would go to sleep on Zhao Youcheng's bed, and he still does now.

The two slept in their clothes, and the boat would set off early tomorrow morning, so they had to wake up before dawn.

Both of them drank some wine and fell asleep quickly. Chen Yu was lying beside Zhao Youcheng, but before he knew it, he fell asleep in Zhao Youcheng's arms in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yousheng's magnified face.

Chen Yu looked at Zhao Youcheng's face for a long time, smelled the familiar scent of palace fragrance on his body, and smiled silly, he was very relieved, and his heart was filled with happiness.

In fact, Zhao Yousheng woke up a long time ago, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked him with a hoarse smile, "Does it look good?"

"Hmm." Chen Yu was a little embarrassed, and his voice was small.

Zhao Yousheng kissed him.

Early in the morning, five ships left Marilu Port, with Chen Duanli's Fuxin ship leading the way, followed by four ships behind them, namely the Fuli ship led by Chen Fan, the Zheng family ship of Zheng and his son, and the ship of Wang Gangshou. Shang Wang's boat, Yang Huan's Yang's boat.

Such a fleet is quite eye-catching, and the owners are all from well-known maritime merchant families in China.

On the way to Qizhouyang, sea ships from China spontaneously joined Chen Duanli's team from time to time. It is well known that Chen Duanli suppressed the bandits and was chased by Liu's ships because he held evidence of the Liu family's collaborators.

When they arrived at Qizhou Ocean, Chen Duanli's fleet was already impressive, there were more than [-] large and small seagoing ships, which was enough to show the support of the people.

The fleet crossed the Seven Continents Ocean safely, but the Liu family's seagoing ships did not appear, nor did they dare to appear.

Beyond Qizhouyang, there is Qiongzhou, where sailors are stationed, and when the officers and soldiers join the escort, the last hope of the Liu family has been wiped out since then, and Liu Heyue has never found a chance to fight back.

When Chen Duanli and his mighty fleet arrived at Quanzhou Port, it could be described as empty.

A group of people who participated in the suppression of bandits were welcomed by the people like a hero triumphantly. The inspection envoys, prefects, and officials of the Shibo Division came to hear the news one after another. Chen Duanli personally handed over Liu Zhenbao and Liu Zhong to the government.

Zhao Yousheng did not come out to receive the welcome from the people, or the awards from the government. He stayed in the cabin, watching the lively scene outside through the window. He was not alone, Chen Yu accompanied him.

Chen Yu asked him: "Ah Leftover, do you want to hide at my house for a few days before going back?"

Zhao Yousheng lied to his mother that he went on a study tour in the capital, but arrived at Quanzhou Port on the same day as Chen Duanli's fleet, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

"No, I can't hide it if I think about it." Zhao Yousheng didn't intend to hide it from his mother either. He did it first and then played it. He didn't let his family know beforehand and told him honestly afterwards.

"But the eldest son is not allowed to go overseas, just in case..." Chen Yu was very worried about him. If someone who had a grudge with Zhao Yousheng knew about it—for example, people from King Xi’s family, it would be troublesome to go to the court to sue him. .

"Don't be afraid, I can't help it." Zhao Yousheng dared to go out to sea, so he was not afraid of being sued. He had already weighed the consequences.

Chen Yu hesitated to speak, he knew very well that Ah Leftover was walking a path that deviated from the orthodoxy, and this path was probably for him.

He is very willing to accompany Ah Leftover to walk together, through wind and rain.
