……

"Hou Ye, look, there seems to be someone near the fish?"

Two hours later, the leader of the guards, who had been standing on the roof of the building and watching around with a telescope, suddenly pointed to the sea in the north, west, east and west directions, and shouted.

"Where?" Chen Xu rushed to the watchtower in three steps and two steps, took the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by the leader of the guards, and sure enough, he saw that there were dolphins on the blue sea seven or eight miles away constantly jumping out of the sea to play and chase, and there was a wooden plank floating near a group of dolphins, and there seemed to be people on it.

"Quick, turn around and see!" Chen Xu was suddenly surprised and ordered the big ship to turn and go towards the plank.

As the distance got closer and closer, Chen Xu saw more and more clearly through the telescope, and there were indeed a man and a woman on the wooden board, although they were both lying motionless on it, but one was wearing green clothes and the other was wearing black clothes, which was very similar to the color of Yu Wuya Xia Zijin's outfit.

"Hurry, lean in!" In Chen Xu's incessant roar, the boatmen at the bilge rowed desperately, and the distance of seven or eight miles had already reached in only two quarters, and when they got closer, Chen Xu had already begun to tremble with excitement.

Lying on the wooden board were Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, but they seemed to have passed out.

"Quick, go down and get them up!"

The big boat slowly stopped more than ten zhang away from the plank, and several boatmen put down a small wooden boat that was more than one foot long, and soon moved the two people on the plank to the small boat, and then tied the two with ropes and pulled them onto the big boat.

"Sure enough, it's Master Yu and Miss Xia!" A group of guards were pleasantly surprised, Chen Xu was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, and after some inspection, he also breathed a sigh of relief, although the two of them were pale and had chapped lips and were unconscious, they were still breathing.

"Hurry up and return to Langya!"

For being able to rescue Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin on the road, Chen Xu felt a little like a dream.

Although Chen Xu has always had a faint expectation in his heart, the location of the collision yesterday was only about ten miles away from the coast, although Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin were beaten into the water by Huang Shigong, but neither of them was ordinary people, even Zhou Bo could rest in the water for more than ten minutes, for Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, who practiced authentic Taoist internal strength, as long as there were items in the driftwood where they lived, the possibility of survival was still very high.

But the vast sea is vast and boundless, and a random gust of wind and waves can sweep people away without a trace, so the hope that Chen Xu has is very, very slim.

Along the way, he and a group of guards took turns standing on the lookout platform and kept searching, and the effort paid off, or God opened his eyes, and he really met him.

And the two of them are indeed lucky shrouds, if it weren't for a group of dolphins chasing each other to attract the attention of the guards, it would have been almost impossible to see a small plank on the rolling sea.

It was a busy time to return to the shipyard, summoning almost all the doctors and alchemists at the moment to carefully treat Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, and asking the guards to go to Langya County to find the best medicinal materials, and after the two were completely settled, Chen Xu went to visit Gai Nie again.

However, the situation of this Great Wei swordsman is still very dangerous, according to the doctor who treated him, Gai Nie's sternal collapse and fractured ribs, a large amount of blood accumulated in his body, and he was soaked in seawater for too long, the water in his chest and lungs was serious, and his breathing was intermittent and cold, and he was almost in a state where he was unable to return to the sky.

Gai Nie's life and death Chen Xu doesn't care too much, he now has enough manpower, and he has long lost the heart to recruit, not to mention that Gai Nie has always been with Gongsun Beiyan, and the two have been carrying out activities to overthrow Daqin, basically his enemy, but after all, Gai Nie is not a heinous person, and he will not ignore it if he can save Chen Xu, so he ordered the doctor to find a pack of needles and prick Gai Nie next to him.

This is already his greatest effort, and whether he is dead or alive depends on Gai Nie's own creation.

The boatmen and ink disciples who were rescued from the water have already asked the Langya County Order to arrange proper treatment and supervision, these are all arranged by a group of guards, from beginning to end, except for a group of people around him, all the people in Langya County and the shipyard do not know Chen Xu's true identity.

The sun was setting, and soon it was late at night.

The sea that had been calm for two days had another storm, the dark clouds and thunder roared continuously, the manic sea waves were monstrous, and the waves rolled like thunder in the roaring storm, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling and shaking, but Chen Xu's heart was much quieter.

Rescue Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, and already know the whereabouts and situation of Shui Qingrou, as long as Huang Shigong is not stupid, he will definitely not hurt Shui Qingrou, he just needs to wait here quietly for a month and wait for Huang Shigong to leave, he can go and pick up Shui Qingrou.

Waiting in Yu Wuya's room, looking at Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin, who were still in a coma and sleeping, Chen Xu began to think about some of the next arrangements.

Although Huang Shigong promised to release the water gently, Chen Xu could not be completely unprepared, and had to make some other arrangements in advance just in case.

After a night, Xia Zijin and Yu Wuya still haven't woken up, but after being diagnosed and treated by the doctor and taking medicine, they look better, their breathing has begun to become stable, and their lives should be fine, which also makes him finally completely relieved.

"Someone!"

"Master Hou, what do you command?" The leader of the guards came in and saluted with his fists folded.

"I have three letters here, and I will arrange for someone to send them out urgently, one will be sent to Qinghe Town, Pheasant County, and personally handed over to my father Chen Hu, and the other letter will be sent to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion in Xianyang to be handed over to the fifth princess, and the last one will be sent to the Academy of Sciences and handed over to Zhang Cang together with the warrant of Benhou, so that he can mobilize a group of craftsmen and craftsmen who are good at machinery and carpentry to come to Langya secretly!" Chen Xu handed the three letters he had written to the head of the guards.

"Oh, my subordinates will arrange it!" The chief of the guards took the letter and turned to leave, and soon four of the guards left the foothouse and galloped northwest.

Now the Oriental Road has been repaired to Linzi, the county seat of Qi County, only more than 400 miles away from Langya, and the post road from Langya to Linzi is also very wide and flat, the fast horse can get on the Oriental Road in a day, and then the post station along the way can reach Xianyang and Wancheng in a maximum of seven days.

After having a breakfast in the foot house, Chen Xu took Jiang Chuxing, Jiang Chuyue and a few guards to Langya County.

At the moment, his identity is kept secret, but the next thing may not be solved by relying on the guard's forbidden army waist card, so he needs the support of the Langya County Commander and the county lieutenant.

The Langya County Commander and the county lieutenant have been very busy and worried in the past two days.

Yesterday, the two ships collided on the sea and suffered heavy casualties, and the people who rescued them were all shipwrights and monks who were arranged by the emperor to go to sea to find the fairy grass of the sacred mountain.

What made them even more frightened was the sudden arrival of a group of secret guards and forbidden troops, and yesterday they also damaged a large ship that had been built, these ten big ships were built by the emperor's personal order, and once the emperor knew about it afterwards, I am afraid that someone would be unlucky.

"Lord County Commander, the forbidden army is here again!" Just when the Langya County Commander was sitting in the county hall and was anxious, the police officer outside the door came in to report, but before he could stand up, Chen Xu had already walked in with a few guards.

"You are Langya County Ling Kangji?" Looking at the middle-aged man in a cyan official robe who greeted him, Chen Xu asked lightly.

Regarding Chen Xu's question, Kang Ji didn't dare to have the slightest slack and dissatisfaction, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "This official is Langya County Ling Kang Ji, I don't know who Lang Jun is?" What are the commands? ”

"Hold back and go, I have something to say?"

Kang Ji was stunned for a moment, but still waved his hand and ordered the clerks and guards above the lobby to withdraw, and then asked cautiously: "There is no one left and right, please tell Lang Jun your identity!" ”

Chen Xu lifted the hem of his clothes slightly, took off a piece of white jade token hanging on his waist and held it in front of Kang Ji, looking at the three eye-catching big characters of Qinghe Hou on the token, Kang Ji's body shook and almost knelt down, sweating and rolling out of the frightened Shi Li said: "The lower official doesn't know that the Hou Ye is coming......

"It's okay, Ben Hou came to Langya secretly for an important matter, I didn't want to alarm you and other local officials, but now the matter is out of control, so I need to summon you and the county lieutenant to discuss, you go and call the county lieutenant quickly, don't reveal Ben Hou's identity!"

"Yes, the lower official will go and call the county lieutenant to come, and ask the Marquis of Qinghe to wait!"

Kang Ji hurriedly walked out of the county hall after giving up his hand and ordered a few words to return and invite Chen Xu and others to go to the back hall to rest, a cup of tea was not finished, a burly middle-aged man in leather armor strode in, looked at the room full of people and was slightly stunned and said: "What is the matter with the county calling me to come, those dead and injured yesterday have not been disposed of......

"Don't say too much to the county lieutenant!" Kang Ji interrupted the county lieutenant's words, quickly closed the door and whispered a few words in the county lieutenant's ear.

"Huh!?" The county lieutenant's body shook suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stayed for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, and with a puff, he knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Xu and saluted with his fists: "Song An didn't know that the Hou Ye had arrived, please forgive me!" ”

"Don't use this big gift, get up, Ben Hou has something to trouble the two of you to help prepare as soon as possible, time is pressing, you two come over and ......" Chen Xu took out a few snow-white papers stacked together from a bag and spread them out on the desk.

"Master Hou, is this a ship?" Looking at the graphics drawn on the white paper, Kang Ji couldn't help but ask after just one glance.

"Yes, this is a new type of sea boat, driven by sails, which is very different from the current sea boats, and can sail with the wind without the need for boatmen to paddle on the sea......"

"No need for a boatman to paddle?" Not only Kang Ji and Song An were dumbfounded, but Jiang Chuxing and Jiang Chuyue, who accompanied them, both opened their mouths wide.

"Yes, this is a state-of-the-art hull design, so it requires the best craftsmanship and the best wood, because the sails are so powerful that they can travel much faster than the paddle boats, and the structural strength of the boat is more stringent, so for the sake of a smooth ride, Benhou has designed it with a pointed head and a pointed bottom......"

Chen Xu pointed to the drawings and explained roughly, but it was almost a piano to the cow, because Kang Ji and Song An didn't know about shipbuilding, and as for sailboats, they hadn't heard of it at all, looking at the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two of them with their mouths wide open, Chen Xu had no choice but to wave his hand and say: "You don't need to understand this, help me find a group of best shipwrights as soon as possible, Ben Hou wants to find a secluded place to build this huge sailing ship, as for the wood consumed and the wages of the craftsmen, Ben Hou will pay it separately, no need to worry!" ”

"Master Hou, the wood is ready-made, and the wages are easy to say, but the officials are worried that the shipwright will not be able to understand the drawings of the Hou Ye!" Kang Ji looked at the drawings and said nervously.

"It's okay, half a month later, Zhang Cang, vice president of the Academy of Sciences, will come to Langya, I will arrange for them to do more specific situations, you first go to help me find a hidden and secluded bay, arrange someone to dig the dock to prepare giant wood and shipbuilding materials, especially sails, need to make more than ten zhang in size of strong linen, these need to be prepared in advance!"

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I'll arrange it later!" Kang Ji and Song An glanced at each other and hurriedly agreed.

"Trouble Brother Jiang to take Benhou's warrant to go to Linzi's Huaxia Qianzhuang, and let Qianzhuang prepare 500,000 yuan and send it to Kangxian Ling for disposal!" Chen Xu handed a letter to Jiang Chuxing and said.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I'll do it!" Jiang Chuxing took the letter and nodded.

"Then arrange it like this, please keep the identity of the two of Ben Hou secret, at the moment I live in the East China Sea Foot House near the east of the city, you can go to me for anything, if I am not there, tell the guards, but don't be too public!" Chen Xu stood up and said.

"Yes, I'll send off Master Hou!" Kang Ji and Song An respectfully sent Chen Xu and the others out of the county office, watched Chen Xu go away, and then wiped the sweat on their foreheads with their sleeves, and then gathered people to start assigning tasks.

Qinghe Hou secretly came to Langya, the pressure on them was greater than facing the emperor, as a Great Qin official, the emperor was actually relatively mild, basically as long as there was no rebellion or was grabbed by the tail of the imperial history, the emperor would hardly ask, but Qinghe Hou is different, Qinghe Hou is a disciple of the immortal family, plus the huge influence in the people, no one dares to have the slightest resistance, offending the emperor may only be dismissed or exiled, but the fate of offending Qinghe Hou must be very miserable, not to mention the Hou Ye's Taiyi Shenlei, even if it is known by Shang Jia, you can force them to jump into the sea.
