Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparations for Departure
In the nineteenth year of heaven, on the seventh day of the eleventh month, the beginning of winter. I don't know if it's a coincidence, it just so happens that this day is also Zhou Moyang's birthday. On the seventh day when the Ethereal Sect arrived in the capital, the sky was clear, and the sun poured down from the gaps in the dark clouds, making Luoshui City, which had been entangled in rain for more than ten days, suddenly brighten. On the wharf of the Luoshui River outside the east gate of the capital, countless boats of all sizes and busy boatmen were carrying something to the two huge sea boats.
Zhou Moyang stood on the shore and looked at the two big ships in surprise. Originally, in the capital, I thought that the painting boat was as high as a platform, but the two big ships docked along the coast were more than ten times larger than the painting boat, and it was easy to fit thousands of people. For this reason, Zhou Moyang was a little relieved about going to sea, it seems that Emperor Taiwu had great expectations for this sea, and sent the largest sea ship that could be built with the strength of the country. As far as Zhou Moyang knows, the average large merchant ship is only about 20 zhang long and five or six zhang wide, and this ship is far more than this size from a distance.
When bidding farewell to Emperor Taiwu and the hundred officials out of the city, Miao Miao sent Elder Shen Taishang, who was on the fifth level of Qi training, to lead the team, and there were two elders, Sun Jinchao and Li Yingda, and Ouyang Chenjing was actually among them, with a total of more than 80 people. But when I got to the dock, I don't know when there were many unfamiliar faces. After Elder Shen Taishang took some of the people to one of the merchant ships, the two elders, Sun and Li, led the people to guard the entrance of the gangplank of the sea ship, separating themselves from many strangers. Zhou Moyang also saw that these people who were not ethereal felt a little wrong.
On the imperial court, led by Zhou Moyang and Guangningzi, the hussar general and the governor of the navy, Chen Dong, had already led 500 elite soldiers as escorts, steadily occupying another merchant ship, waiting for the two.
On the sea ship occupied by Chen Dong, Zhou Moyang looked carefully and found that the sea ship was really huge, about sixty zhang long, about twelve or thirteen zhang wide at the widest point, plus the three-story attic on the ship's board, even the hull was seven or eight zhang high. There were also five tall and stout masts, covered with sails.
Under the deck, there are two more floors. In the center of the ground floor is a jar of fresh water that doubles as ballast, uncovered, surrounded by several kinds of dry food and food to accompany meals. Around the second floor, there are some unknown ship things, and the middle part left behind is divided into small rooms, which should be the place where sailors sleep.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise coming from afar. I saw an old man in his fifties and sixties with a red face, a round face and thin eyebrows, and a long beard, surrounded by more than twenty people, laughing and walking towards the ethereal ship, looking quite proud. On the side of the Ethereal Sect, led by the two elders Sun and Li, they stood guard at the gangplank on the ship.
"Jiang Lao'er, you are very proud! If it weren't for the court's will, you wouldn't be allowed to wait for the ship to come! Elder Sun let out a loud voice like thunder. Ha ha! Elder Sun's words are wrong! The court has good intentions, but also to let everyone get a piece of the pie! It's not good to eat alone, not to mention that on this water, my Caohe Salt Gang is not afraid of anyone! The old man laughed loudly, and the laughter was like a gong ringing, spreading far away, and the momentum was not inferior to Elder Sun in the slightest.
Listening to his name, this old man turned out to be Jiang Mengnian, the leader of the Caohe Salt Gang. The Caohe Salt Gang is really well-informed, and it is not easy to get along. In the past, the ethereal jade of the Ethereal Sect was escorted by the thieves to rob the dart bureau, but this time they were waiting for the Ethereal Sect here early. The water is not as good as the land, and the Caohe Salt Gang is also relied upon. "Humph! Jiang Lao'er, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame Sun for turning his face and being ruthless! Elder Sun snorted. Jiang Mengnian saw that the ethereal faction was like this, so he didn't care, but sneered: "Sun Jinchao, this is going to the vast sea area, you and I go together, and we also take care of each other, why bother turning your face and being ruthless?" Jiang Mengnian looked at the predicament of the ethereal faction and was relieved.
"Haha! Gang Leader Jiang said well, the Ethereal Sect is nothing more than this at sea. Elder Sun, it's also a good thing that everyone follows you east this time, and they have a guardian to look at each other, so why be so unkind? A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar with a white face and beard said, and the cuffs of his white robe were decorated with a small medicine hoe. On his handsome face, there was a faint sneer, and he thought that he must have been a beautiful man when he was young. At this time, he was pacing and walking, looking at the two elders of the Ethereal Sect, Sun and Li, not without provocation. He was followed by more than two dozen sturdy men, who should be this person's entourage. "Who should I be so loud, and I am not afraid to flash my tongue when I speak, it turns out to be Brother Ye Tiangu, the gang leader of the Five Old Peaks Medicine King Gang! You are waiting to come here from all the way from the Five Old Peaks, could it be that you have clairvoyance and ears? "Elder Sun is not without teasing." Why should Elder Sun be so unwilling, this matter is both in line with my will and the will of the imperial court, who dares to disobey! Ha ha! Ye Tiangu laughed.
"Two elders, how about the Ethereal Sect and my Chongzhen Palace reach an alliance on the sea?" More than a dozen Taoist priests in Tsing Yi walked slowly towards the boat. For the elderly, with three strands of green hair, floating on his chest, holding a whisk of dust. His complexion is ruddy, his eyebrows are indifferent, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones, so that people can't tell how old they are. The breath is long and calm, and it should be good internal strength. "It turned out to be the head of the Chongzhen Palace of Gesoap Mountain, Baiyunzi Dao Chief, what a blessing!" Sun Jinchao and Li Yingda's faces tightened, and they hugged their fists at the same time. Seeing this, Bai Yunzi raised his right hand and stroked his beard and smiled.
"Oops! It's so lively! Everyone is thousands of miles away, and they all come here together, so they must not have come to see the scenery! "A bewitching and beautiful young woman came, with a variety of styles. Behind him were more than a dozen maids with white veils and soft swords around their waists. The beautiful young woman is tall and tall, her skin is like snow, and the well-tailored pink floor-mopping light gauze dress wraps her bumpy and delicate body, and when she walks, her snow-white beautiful legs loom over, and the amazing elasticity seems to be within reach, making most of the people present have dry mouths.
When I got closer, the watery eyes that seduced people's souls, the plump and upright twin peaks that almost wanted to burst out of their clothes, and the thin waist like a water snake that I held in my arms, I can't wait to let people hold them in their arms and love them. Everyone on the boat and under the boat admired in their hearts, and their eyes looked directly at the beautiful young woman in front of them, and even the corners of their mouths drooled.
"Alright, Fairy Bright Moon, you don't play tricks on them. Isn't your String Moon Lake Shenshui Palace known as having very strict door rules? You, the palace master, don't set an example? Bai Yunzi frowned, and with a flick of the dust, a true qi emitted, turning into layers of halo and sweeping away, sweeping away the beautiful pink. Giggles, Baiyun Dao is long, the slave family is reluctant to get them. The bright moon fairy's slender jade fingers lightly covered her red lips, and her beautiful eyes flowed, flooding with water waves.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, the bright moon fairy has a good face, and her demeanor is really the same as it was back then!" Bai Yunzi made a way. Fairy Mingyue moved the lotus step lightly, came to Bai Yunzi's side, a pair of pretty eyes seemed to be smiling, bent down and said: "Giggles, Dao Chief, you are really stingy, don't you even allow them to tease?"
The bright moon fairy is tall, this bending over, the round and plump beautiful buttocks are raised high, and the fullness on the chest is about to squeeze out the exaggerated snow-white ravine. Seeing this, everyone quickly turned their heads one after another, thinking of their ugly state just now, as if they were out of control, everyone flashed to both sides, like avoiding snakes and scorpions. This woman is really a goblin who can't pay for her life, eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and she can't afford it.
