"It's noon, why hasn't Zhu Houzhao, a foodie, come yet?"

Liu Jin woke up naturally from sleep, and it was a busy morning when he woke up, and at noon, Liu Jin was also used to waiting for Zhu Houzhao to eat together.

Since this product came to Tianjin, except for the meal in the morning, which is generally not available, the two meals at noon and evening are basically to Liu Jin's house to eat, so Liu Jin will basically wait for him to eat together, and will also let people prepare some extra dishes, Zhu Houzhao's appetite is extremely large, and one person can reach a few Liu Jin.

But Liu Jin waited and waited, but he never saw Zhu Houzhao, a foodie, come over, which made Liu Jin feel a little strange.

"Forget it, don't wait, I guess this goods will go to the restaurant again, I don't know which restaurant I went to last night, and I didn't even come to me at noon today, it seems that I can have a lot left over from this meal."

Left and right, I didn't see Zhu Houzhao come over to eat, Liu Jin was hungry himself, and he didn't care so much, so he ate first.

Liu Jin didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would have the audacity to sneak into the whaling ship 'Kunpeng', and at this time he had already left Tianjin Port with the ship and soared freely above the Bohai Sea.

In the Bohai Sea, the 'Kunpeng' is sailing with the wind, the sails on the three masts are all raised, and the speed of the ship is also extremely fast when the wind blows, constantly breaking the waves and riding the wind.

Here at the bow of the boat, Zhu Houzhao is like a curious baby, a pair of small eyes are constantly looking at this whaling ship, and from time to time he is also curious to touch around the ship, looking very curious.

"Tut, I see, this sail is so heavy, it is very difficult to lift it by manpower alone, and there are pulleys all over it, relying on pulleys to increase the force."

Zhu Houzhao looked carefully at the sail on the mast, and soon discovered a little secret of the sail, he was not interested in such things as the Four Books and the Five Classics and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

His teacher Yang Tinghe was also very troubled by this, Zhu Houzhao asked for leave every three or five days, complained of illness and the like, so that Yang Tinghe was very faceless, and there was nothing he could do with Zhu Houzhao, so he could only often ask Emperor Hongzhi for resignation to express his dissatisfaction.

But Zhu Houzhao is actually very full of brains, as long as he is willing to learn something, he learns it very quickly, and he learns it very well, and he is very interested in many things that Liu Jin said here, and he also learns it with his heart.

He knows roller skating, and even knows the principle of connecting bars, and yesterday in order to go to sea, he also went to learn the knowledge of going to sea, learning the skills of survival at sea, and so on.

"Wow wow~"

Zhu Houzhao's little eyes looked around the boat, and soon saw the harpoon gun here on the bow of the ship, the harpoon gun used for whaling is naturally not an ordinary harpoon gun, it is the largest crossbow, you need to use a winch to wind, the whole harpoon gun is very large, and it looks very domineering.

Seeing such a huge harpoon gun, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

He is a military fan, and what he admires most since he was a child is Huo Quai, Wei Qing, a general like Huo Quai, Wei Qing, and a prince, he has seen all kinds of military books, weapons and everything, and he has naturally seen crossbow arrows and crossbows in the army.

But it was the first time he had seen such a huge harpoon gun, and suddenly the whole person couldn't help but immediately run over, wanting to see it for himself.

"This harpoon gun can't be touched casually~"

A huge shadow stretched out his hand to block Zhu Houzhao, and his huge body also enveloped Zhu Houzhao at once, this person was naturally the high mountain on the 'Kunpeng' that was specially responsible for attacking.

This harpoon gun is his personal territory, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all, for fear that people will damage this harpoon gun, which is not easy to manufacture and needs careful maintenance every day.

Zhu Houzhao is not a crew member on the ship, Gao Shan will naturally not let him approach, once the harpoon gun is broken, the ship can be driven back directly.

"Ahem~"

Zhu Hou took care of Gao Shan's burly body, coughed lightly, and then Liu Jin immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to the side of Gao Shan, stuffed a few silver ingots in his hand and said: "This brother, may I ask the surname Gao, my son-in-law just wants to see this whaling harpoon gun, and there is no other meaning, please make it convenient." ”

Gao Shan held the gold ingots in his hand, weighed it carefully, his eyes immediately lit up slightly, nodded and said, "My name is Gao Shan, and I am responsible for killing whales." ”

"You see, it's fine, but don't mess with this harpoon, if it breaks, we won't be able to hunt whales."

"Brother Gao Shan, you killed that whale yesterday?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he hurriedly asked with a smile.

"Well, I shot the whale right away."

Speaking of this, Gao Shan immediately said proudly.

"Awesome~ Awesome, such a big whale, you killed it with one shot, it's really admirable."

Zhu Houzhao expressed his admiration again and again, which made Gao Shan couldn't help but touch his head honestly and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing, this whale is very large and easy to aim." ”

It's that people like to listen to good words, listen to compliments, and the same is true for Gao Shan, this Zhu Houzhao is the son of a big family at first glance, and he spends money to find a relationship to play on the boat, and it seems that the other party praises himself again and again, which makes Gao Shan very happy, plus Zhu Houzhao has no shelf, and calls Gao Shan a brother, which makes Gao Shan feel very close.

"Brother Gao Shan, can you tell me how to use this harpoon gun? How to aim? ”

Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and took a closer look at this harpoon gun, his little eyes flashed, and he couldn't wait to find a whale to try the power of this harpoon gun now.

"It's not hard to say."

Gao Shan got the silver and face, and he also began to teach Zhu Houzhao.

"This harpoon gun is too powerful, so you need to use a winch to wind it, wait for the string to be good, and then control here, and when you attack, look at this crosshair, as long as the crosshair is aimed, there is basically no problem."

"But because this harpoon gun is too heavy, it is arc when it goes out, and the farther the distance, the crosshair will be slightly raised, and it doesn't matter if the distance is closer."

Takayama also taught while anaglyzing.

Zhu Houzhao studied very seriously, and soon learned it, this thing is actually not difficult, the key is to practice often, practice makes perfect, and there is not much skill.

"I see, the Gao Shan brothers were able to kill the whale with one shot, which is really amazing."

After listening to it in detail, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but give Gao Shan a thumbs up again.

After listening to Gao Shan's explanation, Zhu Houzhao understood the bow and arrow method, in fact, in the final analysis, it is all arcs, and the accuracy of what you want, in addition to regular practice, the more important thing is to be able to calculate the arrow path, according to the temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc. to calculate the trajectory of the arrow, so as to be more accurate.

"Brother has won the prize~"

Takayama touched his head and replied with a smile.

After knowing that this harpoon gun was the key to whaling, Zhu Houzhao also stayed on the bow of the ship and didn't leave, pestering Gao Shan and chatting non-stop.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have any shelf, and when he learned things, he had a bit of an attitude of humbly studying, which made Gao Shan quickly treat Zhu Houzhao as his own person, not only chatting very happily, but also allowing Zhu Houzhao to touch this precious harpoon gun.

As for Liu Jin, who accompanied him, he knew too well that Zhu Houzhao was preparing for the future, and when he found the whale, he would definitely find a way to try it himself, and control this harpoon gun to kill the whale.

Time is slowly passing.

The crew of the Kunpeng are all holding binoculars and looking for whales in the sea, but this whale does not mean that they will encounter it.

"Why haven't you found a whale yet?"

Zhu Houzhao looked a little impatient and a little bored.

He had seen and touched all the things on the ship, and as soon as the freshness passed, he suddenly felt very bored, and the view above the sea was the same from that direction.

He also wanted to meet the whale as soon as possible, return after catching the whale, and then take the whale back to the capital, so that his father, mother, and others could see the behemoth in the sea.

"Brother Zhu, this whale is not so easy to find, last time we were looking for two days before we found a whale, but I used to go to sea and often encounter whales, so don't worry, just look for it slowly."

On Zhu Houzhao's side, Gao Shan said with a smile.

"I'm not bored."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said.

"Dog, you should also hurry up and go find the whales, what are you doing with me."

Then Zhu Houzhao, who was a little unhappy, saw Liu Jin who was following him, and also kicked Liu Jin and said.

"Childe, there are people watching from all directions on this ship, and I am not one of them, I still follow Childe, and I can know at any time if there is any dispatch."

was kicked by Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin was not angry at all, but said with a smile.

"Dogs, there's a lot of nonsense, just go when you are told to go, less verbose."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he kicked Liu Jin again.

There was no way, Liu Jin could only take out a pair of binoculars and start looking for traces of whales on the sea, of course, his attention was naturally on Zhu Houzhao, he still knew very well what his main job was.

"Found the whale, found the whale~"

At this moment, an excited voice came from above the mast.

"In that direction?"

As soon as everyone on the entire ship heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and the captain Tian Baiyi immediately asked.

"Three nautical miles in front of the left~"

"Turn immediately, three nautical miles ahead on the left, it looks like we can go back tomorrow."

Tian Baiyi immediately ordered happily.

Zhu Houzhao also came to the spirit at this time, snatched the telescope in Liu Jin's hand, looked in the direction of the left front, and soon, under the telescope, Zhu Houzhao saw a column of water rising on the sea, and he knew that this was the water column spewed out when the whale breathed.

"Haha, important found~"

Zhu Houzhao laughed happily.

The speed of the 'Kunpeng' was relatively fast, and the distance of three nautical miles did not take long, and it soon came to the sea where the whales were located.

I saw that above the sea, a group of hundreds of huge whales were roosting freely, and from time to time there were columns of water constantly spitting out.

"Dog, hurry up and find me, that whale is the biggest."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the whales on the sea carefully, and when he saw that Liu Jin was also fascinated, he also kicked over.

"Yes, yes~"

Liu Jin hurriedly smiled and nodded, his eyes constantly searching among the whales.

"Childe, that, that~ You see that the water column that spews out is more than ten meters high, and this huge body is afraid that it is the head whale of this group of whales."

Soon, Liu Jin's eyes locked on a big whale.

"Yes, yes, let's get to work."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, looked at the big whale and said.

"Yes~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he naturally knew what to do.

Soon he found Tian Baiyi, the captain of the 'Kunpeng', and stuffed a few silver tickets, and quickly got Tian Baiyi, and then found Gao Shan, which was also stuffed with a few silver tickets, and immediately got Gao Shan.

"Childe, it's done!"

This is rich and easy to do, Liu Jin is best at using money to open the way, Zhu Houzhao used to be the prince who had no money, and if Liu Jin was asked to do things, many times he used the prince's share to do things.

But now it's different, Zhu Houzhao has silver, and many times he likes to use money to open the way, and if he can't do it with money, he will use the prince's share.

"Hmm~"

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and came to the bow of the boat.

"Hey~hey~"

A dozen strong men were constantly pulling the winch, loading the harpoon guns and preparing for whaling.

"Brother Gao Shan, wait a minute, please help guide and guide by the side~"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile to the high mountains on the side.

"Don't worry, even if it's on mine."

Gao Shan's trip to the sea is really earned, and the silver ingots and silver tickets in his arms add up to a few hundred taels, although some will be given to other brothers in the future, but it is also a windfall.

So now for Zhu Houzhao, it is even more careless, and I am ready to let Zhu Houzhao kill this whale later.

Soon, the boat was getting closer and closer to the big whale, Zhu Houzhao controlled the harpoon gun in his hand, and the whole person became engrossed, according to the method taught by Gao Shan, the front sight was aimed at the big whale, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

Tian Baiyi, Peng Yi and others on the side couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and they didn't know that it was the son of the big family, who had nothing to do when he was full, and came to this boat to make trouble.

For the sake of the silver, let the other party toss a few times, anyway, the whale group is also found, don't worry about not catching the whale, and when he fails a few times, then let Gao Shan shoot, everyone can still complete the task, and there is a lot of income.

"Brother Zhu, it's now~"

Gao Shan is not collecting money for nothing, he is always paying attention to the wind and waves on the sea, and is helping Zhu Houzhao find a suitable opportunity.

Finally, the wind stopped for a while, and the waves just passed, which was the most stable time and the best time to make a move.

"Got it~"

Zhu Houzhao stared at him and shot very calmly.

"Huh~"

I saw the harpoon gun dragging a long rope through the air, making a crisp sound, and attacking directly at the head of the largest whale.

"Puff~"

This shot was extremely accurate, although it did not directly hit the whale's head, but it also attacked the back of the big whale.

"Poof~"

The big whale was injured, and immediately a huge column of water erupted, and then it began to roll in the sea in pain, and for a while, the waves were turbulent.

The wounded whale began to flee desperately, pulling the harpoon gun straight, and there was a sound of tooth ache from the boat, and the big ship began to sway.

"Haha, hit~"

In one shot, Zhu Houzhao shouted excitedly, and accidentally, as soon as the ship shook, it immediately fell on the deck.

"Childe~Childe~"

This startled Liu Jin on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Houzhao up, but he didn't expect that he would also fall on his head.

"See no, see no, I got shot."

After falling his head, Zhu Houzhao didn't feel any pain at all, but said to Liu Jin excitedly.

"Childe, are you alright?"

Liu Jin touched the big bag on his forehead and asked worriedly.

"What can I do, isn't it just a fall."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care, stood up very quickly, held the side of the boat, and looked at the big whale that was struggling in the sea, with a smile on his face.

"Crunch~"

Another sore voice came, and Liu Jin also said to a few guards beside Zhu Houzhao: "This bow is too dangerous, hurry up and let Gongzi go to the back." ”

When a few guards heard this, they also hurriedly pulled Zhu Houzhao to the back, they were all very dangerous just now, if this prince was planted headlong into the sea, they would be finished, but they didn't dare to continue to let this master play.

"Haha, see no, I hit this whale with one shot."

Zhu Houzhao was also satisfied at this time, and while walking to the back, he also showed off to the people on the side.

"Yes~ Yes, Childe is brave and invincible, bravely crowns the three armies, and kills the big whale with one shot."

Liu Jin naturally praised again and again, coaxing this little master to be happy.

"Childe, this whale has been hit, and it won't die for a while, so let's wait slowly."

"Well, that's the same, wait slowly, listen to Brother Gaoshan, it's hard for this whale to die in a few hours."

Zhu Houzhao also nodded, came to the back of the boat, and waited very patiently, this time he was satisfied, realized his wish to hunt whales, and killed a big whale with his own hands.

"Uh~"

"This whale is too big, how to transport it back to the capital, this is a problem, I only wanted to pick it up, but I didn't think about how to transport it back to the capital, if it is not transported back to the capital, how to give it to the father and the queen mother."

Soon, Zhu Houzhao frowned again and pondered.
