Liu Xie also wanted to know the whereabouts of Asuka Beimi, this Mingyuexiang came to my Han to seek support, but he disappeared for many days and fell into the island nest, and there is a great possibility that there will be more luck and less luck.

Liu Xie let the three dogs of Beimi come in, and as soon as the three dogs of Obasang came in, they knelt on the ground and wept and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty is in charge to find my princess Beimi." ”

Liu Xie said: "Your princess has been lost for many days, right?" In the vast sea, how do you find it? In this way, tomorrow my sailor will have a ship out to sea for trial, you can look for it with the ship, and you may be able to find it, but you have to be mentally prepared, it is possible that your princess is dead, and there is a very bad possibility, that is, it will be ruined by pirates. ”

Sangou Luo said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the humble minister understands. ”

Liu Xie asked people to arrange a place for her to live on the ship, but she was limited to walking.

Subsequently, Liu Xie, accompanied by his entourage, inspected the thousand-man warship he was on, and inspected each cabin, and when he came to the door of the concubine's cabin, Liu Xie stopped, hesitated and went in.

I saw Concubine Zha sitting against the head of the bed, looking very uncomfortable. I asked with concern.

Concubine Zha said: "I'm a little dizzy when I shake, and I'll get used to it for a while." ”

It turned out to be seasickness!

Liu Xiexin said, this boat hasn't opened yet, you are dizzy like this, so if it opens, I don't know what you will look like? Then he said, "Otherwise, you should rest on land." ”

Concubine Zha said: "No, Your Majesty, as Your Majesty's woman, if you can't even endure this bit of suffering, how can you do it?" ”

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, loved her more and more, and said distressedly: "It's hard for you to have a heart, but as my woman, some are very comfortable and comfortable, such as those concubines who don't come out all day long in the harem, and some are very hard, such as the civil official Cai Wenji, the military general Yan'er Wenyin, etc." ”

Concubine Zha said: "The concubine does not want to be a comfortable concubine, as a waiter who has reconciled between the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, the concubine has to contribute to it, so the concubine is not afraid of hard work." ”

Liu Xie sighed: "But you are still a real woman from time to time." ”

The implication is that although you are now a nominal concubine, you have not yet been served.

Concubine Zha bowed her head and was silent.

Liu Xie said again: "Don't stay in the house, you can go out for a walk, blow the sea breeze, and I will arrange two guards for you, so that they can take you out to breathe, so that you won't get seasick." Little Luozi ......"

"The minions are here."

"Inform the imperial doctor and make some seasickness decoction for Concubine Zha."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was in power to set up the post of guard. The so-called guards, that is, the female guards of the guards, referred to as the guards, are all female soldiers with high martial arts skills, who are used to serve as personal guards in the harem.

In addition to the protection of the harem concubines, the periphery is the Yulin guard, who is more advanced in martial arts.

Liu Xie stood beside Concubine Zha, patted her and said, "Take care of yourself, if you have any discomfort, you can come to me at any time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your care."

Liu Xie said two more words and left.

The next day, a thousand-man warship as the flagship, accompanied by ten hundred-man warships, left Beihai Port and headed for the direction of Wajin Island.

Liu Xie sat down in the bow cockpit, and the captain was at his side directing the fleet forward. The ironclad steam warship, with a large draft and steady sailing, advanced at a speed of about 10 knots.

(Note: The speed of 1 knot is about 3.7 miles/0.5 hours, and 10 is about 37 miles/hour, that is, 74 miles/hour.) ）

The voyage went smoothly, and in about an hour, it was more than 70 miles away from the port. Looking back, the coastline is very blurry.

The captain said, "Your Majesty, this ironclad ship is much more stable than a wooden ship, and it is no longer afraid of wind and waves. The distance between the North Sea and the Wajin Islands is 1,500 li. Moreover, the steam ironclad ship is powered by burning coal, which does not require manpower to row oars or sails, and can be twelve hours a day, last night in a row. So you can get to Wajin Island in two days. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said: "It is indeed a very good ship, I will hand over these sea ships to you, but I must cherish it very much." ”

The captain said: "Your Majesty, Weichen cherishes this warship as his little wife. ”

The captain's words drew a whisper from the other officials in the cockpit, and Liu Xie said: "That's it." ”

turned around and called Xiao Luozi over, and whispered: "You go to see Concubine Zha, I don't feel at ease with her." ”

Xiao Luo Zinuo went after a while, and came back after a while and whispered: "Your Majesty, the slave went to see it just now, and this concubine is in her bedroom, vomiting a mess." ”

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "Alas, there is really no way, go, take a look." ”

Instruct the captain to be careful about driving, and let the herald keep the flag in communication with the other ships in the fleet at all times.

When I came to Concubine Zha's bedroom, I saw Concubine Zha sitting at the table retching to the swishle, while her dowry maid was squatting on the side, crying and patting her back.

The two guards were also on the side, remembering to stomp their feet, Liu Xie called the two guards to his side and said, "You two help Concubine Zha to go outside to breathe." ”

The guards were about to go to help Concubine Zha, but Concubine Zha waved her hand again and again and said, "I don't want it, Your Majesty, I'm dying, I can't move, don't hole me." ”

The guards looked at Liu Xie in embarrassment, and Liu Xie said, "Don't pay attention to her, just help her out." ”

The female guards forcibly helped Concubine Zha to get up and go out, and the palace maid who accompanied her followed, and Liu Xie also went out. After a while, in addition to the sleeping cabin, I came to the deck outside, and as soon as the sea breeze blew, Concubine Za, who was calling for discomfort just now, immediately quieted down.

Liu Xie asked one of the guards to let go of her, and he personally came to help her, and together with the other guard, he helped Concubine Zha, walking on the deck, Liu Xie said: "Look, I asked you to come out for a walk, you didn't listen, don't you feel more comfortable now?" ”

Concubine Za just hummed, but didn't speak.

Liu Xie said: "In fact, seasickness is a mental illness, you must first overcome it in your heart, and then it will be fine." I know you're uncomfortable, and it's no wonder you've lived in the Western Regions for a long time and never seen the sea. ”

"The concubine has seen it."

Liu Xie smiled: "You still have the strength to raise the bar, which means that you are much better at the moment." ”

Concubine Zha hurriedly said: "The concubine has really seen the sea." ”

"You've seen the sea in the Western Regions?"

"Yes," Concubine Zha, gasping for breath, "Your Majesty, can you let the concubine sit for a while?" ”

Liu Xie helped her sit down on a chair next to the railing.

Is there a sea in the Western Regions? Liu Xie thought about it carefully, it should be the Caspian Sea, but strictly speaking, the Caspian Sea should be regarded as a lake, and on the east side of it is the Great Lagoon, which is the largest salt lake in the world.

Further west of the Caspian Sea, there is the Black Sea, which is the real sea.
