Tianjin.

"What?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stole the 'Kunpeng' whaling ship?"

I didn't see Zhu Houzhao for a whole day, and Liu Jin also asked people to find Zhu Houzhao, about the matter of running a salt farm, Liu Jin still needs to discuss it with Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Jin's subordinates searched all over Tianjin City but did not find Zhu Houzhao, and repeatedly confirmed that Zhu Houzhao did not return to the capital, Liu Jin immediately panicked and began to let people search carefully.

Soon there was news that Zhu Houzhao had secretly gone to sea to hunt whales on the 'Kunpeng' whaling ship.

Hearing the news, Liu Jin couldn't help but sit on the chair, and prayed silently in his heart, praying that this little ancestor would never have an accident, otherwise, Liu Jin would not have enough to cut off Emperor Hongzhi with a hundred heads.

"I should have expected it a long time ago, yesterday he asked a question without a head, it is estimated that it was to go to sea to hunt whales, and he has been constantly talking about this matter."

"Now that you have the opportunity, how can you not go out."

Liu Jin thought of some of the words Zhu Houzhao said when he talked to Zhu Houzhao yesterday, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This Zhu Houzhao~"

Liu Jin wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

"And this Liu Jin, he doesn't want to live?"

Liu Jin thought of Liu Jin, who had been following Zhu Houzhao, as a personal eunuch, he was inseparable from Zhu Houzhao with each other, this Zhu Houzhao went to sea to hunt whales, this Liu Jin must be with him, and most of them were arranged by this Liu Jin.

Yesterday, I exchanged glances with this Liu Jin, and I have confirmed that I am the right person.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Jin was so bold that he dared to let Zhu Houzhao go whaling, which shows that he is also a bold person, no wonder he can cover the sky with one hand in the future and become a famous eunuch in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's too late to regret it now, let's think about how to make up for it."

Soon, Liu Jin didn't continue to worry about Zhu Houzhao's whaling, anyway, everyone else had already gone to sea, and it was impossible to get it back now.

The sea is vast, although this whaling ship is operating in the Bohai Sea, but the Bohai Sea is also a sea, the blue waves are vast, and it is difficult to find the whaling ship.

But Liu Jin still decided to go to sea immediately, if this Zhu Houzhao can return safely, it is naturally the best, if something happens to him, if he goes to sea now, maybe he can still meet at the sea, and he can save his life, so it can be regarded as atonement.

"Immediately arrange for the ship to go to sea, we will go to the sea to find His Royal Highness the Prince, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and no rumors shall be leaked."

Liu Jin said to his student Tong Yuan.

"Yes, Master, I'll arrange it immediately."

Tong Yuan knew the importance of the matter, so he nodded solemnly and immediately arranged it.

Soon, here in Tianjin Port, after several big ships prepared food and water, they immediately hurried out to sea, one of the big ships, Liu Jin looked at the rough sea in front of him, and the whole person was worried.

At this time, the dark curtain has come, if it was in the past, Liu Jin should have enjoyed a dinner beautifully, and then had a pot of tea, read a book, and sleep beautifully.

But now, he has to go to sea, looking for Zhu Houzhong's traces in the vast sea, and he must always be on guard, it is conceivable that Liu Jin's mood is now, and he is about to scold his mother.

The other side.

The Kunpeng was breaking the waves of the sea, and the injured whale was scurrying around like a headless fly.

The size of this whale is so huge, almost eight feet long, and its strength is amazing, dragging the huge 'Kunpeng' forward in the sea.

At the same time, he kept rolling in the sea, trying to rip off the harpoon gun on his back, but it was all in vain.

Zhu Houzhao's gun is very accurate, and the harpoon gun is very powerful, embedded in the whale's back, every time he pulls, it is constantly tearing the wound, making the big whale more painful, and at the same time, the blood keeps gushing out, and then the sea water makes the big whale weaker and weaker.

"Haha, it's worthy of the big whale I shot with my own hands, it's really amazing, it's been 2 hours, and it's still so powerful."

"Tsk, worthy of my brave whale general."

Zhu Houzhao was very excited at this time, being able to hunt such a big whale made him very excited and full of passion, and from time to time he had to go to the bow of the boat to see the whale in front of him, and even gave this whale a name.

'Crunch~'

A sore voice came, and Captain Tian Baiyi couldn't help frowning again.

This whale is too big, and his strength is too great, and he doesn't have the slightest confidence about whether the 'Kunpeng' can withstand it now.

He wanted to order the rope to be cut countless times, but in the end he didn't speak, because the silver ticket in his arms was too hot, and he received the silver, if he couldn't make this boy have fun, maybe he would suffer when he went back.

He is still self-aware.

Although he is a captain with a high income, he is also a capable person in Tianjin, but compared with these sons of the family, he has no comparison at all, so he doesn't dare to offend these people at all, for fear of losing everything he has now.

"I really regret it, I knew that I wouldn't accept their money, and there would be no such thing, I can catch my whales with peace of mind, live my little life, but what do I do with this little silver, my income, it's not that I can't earn this silver."

"Now that I have swept away the interest of this son-in-law, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, but if something happens to this son-in-law, there will definitely be hardship to eat this time, it will be difficult."

Tian Baiyi's intestines are all repentant, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he can only pray silently that this whaling ship is strong enough to withstand the pull of this whale.

All the sails of the ship have been lowered to minimize the pulling force, and there are always people in the bow here with sharp machetes ready to cut the rope if the situation is not right.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the key is that everyone's life matters.

"Crunch~"

There was another tooth-sour sound, and everyone on the boat felt that their heads were big, but Zhu Houzhao was still praising his brave whale general, lest the world be chaotic.

Thankfully, their whaling ship was built by the Tianjin Shipyard and used a design from the mature bottlenose whaling ship design of later generations.

This kind of ship was the most successful whaling ship in later generations, and the triangular design of the front of the ship can not only play a good role in stability, but also facilitate the forward movement of the ship, which can reduce the pulling force generated when the ship moves forward and the stress generated when the ship sways as much as possible.

Time is slowly passing, everyone on the boat has no heart to eat, everyone is worried, only when the whale is exhausted, the boat is stable, everyone will be in the mood to eat.

"The direction of progress now is also towards the port of Tianjin, if we can hold on, we will be able to return to the port tomorrow morning."

Tian Baiyi did not forget to take out tools such as compass and sextant to distinguish the position and direction against the stars in the night.

"Whew~"

"This whale is finally exhausted, and then it can be much more safe."

Another hour passed, the moon was in the sky, the stars were shining, and the captain Tian Baiyi looked at the big whale that had not moved, and this was finally a heavy sigh of relief.

With the experience of whaling for the first time, he knew that this whale had lost its physical strength due to excessive bleeding, and it would toss a few times at most, and basically would not move anymore, and it would be white by tomorrow.

"Preparing for dinner~"

There was nothing left, and Tian Baiyi finally felt hungry, so he also ordered.

"It's finally time to eat, and I'm already starving."

"I was scared before, I didn't feel hungry, but now I'm hungry all of a sudden."

"Haha, we can catch such whales smoothly, and we can send them this time."

"It's much bigger than the whale I caught for the first time, and I estimate that it is at least eight zhang long, and it may weigh more than 200,000 catties."

"It shouldn't be bad, it's too strong, and I'm always scared, for fear that it will break our ship."

Hearing Tian Baiyi's words, the crew of the ship also breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss while preparing for dinner.

"Brave Whale General, you moved a little, why didn't you move?"

Here, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly came to the bow of the boat, looked at the big whale that had rarely moved in front, and couldn't help but cry out.

“……”

"This man is not stupid, is he?"

"These sons and brothers are full of food and support, it's really incomprehensible, whaling here, and why is it not moving, isn't it full and supporting."

"Sick~"

When the crew of the ship heard this, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

Catching this big whale is also the idea of this boy, and everyone has been worried for several hours, but now it's good, and even said why this big whale doesn't understand, I really don't understand what he thinks.

"Childe, let's have something to eat."

Liu Jin came over with some food in his hand and said.

"Don't eat, my brave whale general is going to hang, you are still in the mood to eat, and you are not allowed to eat late."

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was really a child, very willful, and unreasonable, which made Liu Jin cry helplessly, he was already hungry, and now his stomach was growling.

Now that Zhu Houzhao doesn't let him eat dinner, how can he spend this night? If you're hungry all the time, you won't be able to sleep at all.

But Zhu Houzhao's words, he didn't dare to stop at all, and he had to smile and let Zhu Houzhao eat something here, he was a daughter, and the gold was very expensive, but he couldn't be hungry.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Houzhao still hadn't slept yet, still staring at his brave whale general, seeing that its movement was getting smaller and smaller, he also felt that it was not interesting.

"Dog, keep a good eye on me, if it makes any noise, remember to call me."

Zhu Houzhao was also sleepy, and commanded Liu Jin to run to sleep by himself, and let Liu Jin watch the whales on the deck, which made Liu Jin cry again.

This hungry grumbling, now I can't even sleep, this little master of my own, it's really hard to serve.

"Tummy, belly~"

Early the next morning, when Liu Jin was still in a daze, a cheer woke him up, and he hurriedly looked at the sea.

I saw that Zhu Houzhao's brave whale general had turned over, his white belly was exposed to the sea, and there was no movement at all.

"Childe, childe, the big whale has turned its belly, the big whale has turned its belly."

Liu Jin hurriedly ran to wake up Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was still in a daze at this time, and after hearing his words, he immediately got up excitedly, and he didn't have time to get dressed or anything, so he hurried to the deck, and laughed happily when he saw the big whale that had turned his belly.

"Haha, I'm still amazing, I shot such a big whale with one shot, and this brave whale general is nothing more than that."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin, who followed behind, was speechless.

Yesterday he looked at this big whale very preciously, but now after a good night's sleep, this big whale is no longer a baby, and it has become something for him to show off.

It's really a child's face, it changes when it says, it's elusive and unpredictable.

"Childe, brave and invincible, crisscrossing the four seas, no one is invincible."

Patting sycophants is naturally Liu Jin's specialty, so he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Uh-huh~"

"That's right, that's right, it's just a whale in the sea, what is this, I will hunt Mobei in the future, and I will meet the wolf king of the grassland when I go to the grassland."

Zhu Houzhao nodded happily, this whaling gave him a great sense of satisfaction, and now he was thinking about going to the grassland to hunt the wolf king in the future.

His words here are naturally a pun, the wolf king of the grassland is naturally not an ordinary wolf king, but a general reference to the little prince, the little prince calls himself the wolf king of the steppe, hunting the wolf king, and naturally he has a trick with the little prince.

"Childe's talent will probably be able to show his ambitions."

Liu Jin also hurriedly complimented.

"Mm-hmm, you dog, although nothing else, this sycophant kung fu is a must."

Zhu Houzhao listened to Liu Jin's words and nodded happily.

The conversation between the two of them also made Tian Baiyi, Peng Yi, Gao Shan and others of the boat speechless for a while, in their eyes, the boy in front of him was really a fun-loving master.

Even if you come to the sea to hunt whales, you still want to go to the grassland to hunt the wolf king, this grassland is Tatar, you can go casually?

The wolf king of this grassland can also hunt casually?

It's just deadly.

But this has nothing to do with them, the son and brother of this wealthy family is not what they can imagine at all.

"There is a ship ahead~"

At this time, someone shouted in surprise.
