Chapter 544: After Escaping Death (First Update)

Seeing that they were about to reach the realm of the Peacock Dynasty in a few days, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, who had experienced several moments of life and death, seemed to see hope, as long as they persevered for a few more days, they would win, and the nine deaths along the way were not in vain.

But on this day, when Zhao Cheng, Zhao Hu and Hu Hai were discussing how to start when they arrived at the Peacock Dynasty, a sailor they hired ran into the inner cabin in a panic, and informed them that several South Vietnamese mercenaries on the ship suddenly vomited and diarrhea, and it was as if they had lost half their lives overnight, which was really worrying.

At first, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai didn't pay attention to this situation, because in this long voyage, although they were lucky enough, they had already lost more than a dozen people, although the reasons were different, but they were basically caused by collisions with hard things on the deck in the wind and waves, and now this time it was the first time to vomit and diarrhea.

Those people were just recruited by Zhao Cheng to protect them just in case, so their lives were not very important in Zhao Cheng's eyes, just simply let them rest below the deck, and then they didn't care about it, he and Hu Hai had nothing else in their hearts except looking forward to seeing the coast every day.

But only two days later, the two people who vomited and diarrhea died, and from the physiognomy, it was definitely not a normal death, but unfortunately, there was no doctor on their ship, in the face of such a death, what Zhao Cheng could do was to throw the bodies of these two people into the sea, after all, before setting off, he had explained the risks that he might encounter this time with these people who were equivalent to mercenaries, and it was summed up in one sentence: life and death have life and wealth in the sky, don't blame anyone for death.

I thought this was an ordinary death, but as everyone knows, the nightmare has just begun.

On the third day after the two died, someone had the same symptoms as the previous two, and this time there were not just two people, but as many as four or five.

Because of the experience of the previous two, everyone will panic a lot this time, after all, this is a matter that can kill people in two or three days, and there have been such situations one after another, everyone knows that this thing is contagious, so this time, no one cares about the few people who have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, at first everyone placed them on the deck, and they all avoided it from afar.

In less than two days, those people died without warning, and the death was the same as the previous two people, they were all pale and their eye sockets were sunken, obviously suffering from a sudden illness, not a normal death.

After these two such incidents, with the caution and mind of Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, they naturally knew that they didn't know what kind of disease was spreading on this ship.

"Zhao Hu, according to the estimation on this chart, how far do we have to reach the territory of the Peacock Dynasty?"

Although he looked calm when he asked such words, Zhao Hu and Hu Hai could see that Zhao Cheng was already a little panicked, and his attention was no longer on the two women who came with him, but all focused on when they would arrive at the Peacock Dynasty.

"According to the instructions in this chart, you should be able to reach it within five days, but these days the sea is stormy and rough, if it is a headwind, I am afraid it will take longer!"

Of course, Zhao Hu knew what Zhao Cheng was worried about, but at sea, everything was not up to them, they could only decide the situation on the ship.

"And what should we do if this acute illness spreads on this ship?" Seeing that the Peacock Dynasty could not be reached in a day or two, Zhao Cheng finally expressed his worries, he didn't know how this disease came about, and of course he didn't know how to solve this disease, he only knew that today it was those South Vietnamese people on the deck, and it might be his turn at any time tomorrow.

"The only way to do this is to throw them into the sea as soon as they are found in the future, otherwise if they are left to be dealt with on the ship until they die, I am afraid that the impact on us will be even greater."

Without waiting for Zhao Hu to say anything, Hu Hai first said his opinion, of course he knew that in such a situation, they naturally could not jump into the sea and swim to the Peacock Dynasty, this ship was all they relied on, and what they wanted was nothing more than to slow down the spread of the disease on the ship this time, although Hu Hai's statement sounded a little unkind, but it was the most effective way they could take in such a situation.

"Good! Just do what Hu Hai Gongzi said, you have to monitor the movements of those sailors and South Vietnamese, and don't let them vent their hatred on us and others! ”

"That's not true, those who don't have disease are also very afraid of being infected with such a disease by others, throwing the sick person into the sea is the thought of everyone who is not sick, and if we do this, they will only be more grateful to us, and they will not rise up and attack us."

Hu Hai's control of these people's hearts has obviously reached a very proficient level, and under his explanation, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu did not raise any objections.

Five days, these five days on the sea were calm, and there was not even rain, but for Zhao Cheng, Hu Hai and others, these five days were even longer than the previous one or two months.

In the past five days, although Zhao Cheng, Hu Hai, Zhao Hu and several other key figures have nothing to do, but those sailors and the South Vietnamese they recruited have been sick one after another, and nearly fifty or sixty people have been thrown into the sea in five days, Zhao Cheng and they know that if these people are almost sick, it will be their turn sooner or later.

"Childe, please come out and have a look! , we should be on the realm of the Mauryan Empire! ”

On this day, the sun had just risen on the sea, and Zhao Hu, who was looking at the deck from afar, suddenly ran to the inner cabin with excitement on his face, and told the news that Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were about to despair when they were looking forward to the stars and the moon.

Zhao Cheng had hardly dared to go out of the inner cabin these days, but this time, he mustered up the courage to walk to the deck, and looked in the direction of Zhao Hu's finger, only to see that in the direction of their ship's sailing, a piece of land did indeed appear in their eyes.

"Whew...... Tell the sailors to go full throttle! ”

Zhao Chang let out a long breath, pointed to the land that was already getting closer and closer, and commanded loudly.

The rest of the people who were not infected were also refreshed from the look of languishing and waiting for death, and in their opinion, as long as they could reach this land smoothly, they would be saved, and they would not be haunted by the disease, and in the end they would only end up with the fate of being thrown into the sea.

Finally, it took another half a day, they finally arrived at the Peacock Dynasty of their dreams, and their luck was not bad, at this time, the Peacock Dynasty had already been taken by Great Qin, and there was no regular army at all, so it was a depression on the seaside, and there was no upgrade and vitality at all, which also brought Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng very convenient conditions for them to land in the Peacock Dynasty.

Seeing that there was no danger around, and knowing that the Peacock Dynasty had almost fallen under the control of Great Qin, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai discussed it, and dismissed those hired in South Vietnam on the spot for the sake of insurance, leaving only Qi Yi and the two women who had been with Zhao Cheng, and the group randomly chose a direction and began to explore this land, and those South Vietnamese and sailors who were summoned by them needed to find their own way to survive in this land.

None of them would choose to sail on the surface anymore, and that feeling was a moment of fear that they would never want to remember again in their lives, so the ship remained docked on the shore and no one cared about it anymore.

After everyone had left the ship, there was a sound of ropes in the boat, and then several rats rushed out of the cabin and rushed towards the vast world outside.

These people, this matter, this ship, all of them were not noticed, this was just an ordinary day when the Mauryan Dynasty had been occupied by Great Qin, and at this time, Ying Gao informed the generals of the Peacock Dynasty, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, that they might have taken a warship from Great Qin to the Peacock Dynasty, and the news was just about to arrive in Hua's City.

In the territory of Great Qin, Yinggao has been focusing on one thing in the past time, that is, supporting the cultivation of the people of Great Qin.

Sun Yue and the other five people have gone through the discomfort of standing on the Great Qin Dynasty at the beginning, and by this time they have become completely familiar with it, and have become a beautiful scenery above the Great Qin Dynasty, since these five girls have won the approval of Yinggao and a number of Great Qin officials, many of the officials of Great Qin feel as if they are more willing to go to the court than before, of course, these are things that Yinggao will not pay attention to.

Under Yinggao's instructions, the cultivation of the people in this season is no longer their own battle, from the field to the seeds, they are all personally inspected by the officials in charge of agricultural affairs in the various counties led by Sun Yue, and from this year, the Great Qin officials have prepared a lot of seeds, once they find that the seeds in the homes of any of the people are not good, they will replace their seeds for free.

In addition to farming, Yinggao also instructed these officials to encourage the people of Daqin to raise some other living creatures, such as mountain babies, cattle and sheep, pheasants, etc., because commercial behavior is more free than the excesses of Daqin, and when it comes to harvest, the people can exchange their surplus things for other people's surplus things, of course, they can also sell them for money, and then keep the hard currency of coins in their own pockets, and exchange them for some other things when they need them.

Through such hands-on efforts, the outdated consciousness of the people of Daqin finally began to gradually change, they no longer think that they need to work for the emperor of Daqin every day, and have no own life, they no longer just sow seeds into their fields at will and wait for the harvest, they will also begin to pay attention to the growth of these seedlings, and also begin to wonder whether they should build a sheepfold with wood in their yard and raise a few goats. Then when they are older, they slaughter and eat meat or sell it in the market, and then exchange the money from selling meat for new clothes.

If the people of Great Qin only had the idea of how to survive in the realm of Great Qin before, then the survival in the heads of the people of Great Qin has quietly turned into life.

Ying Gao listened to the reports given to him by Sun Yue and several of the other women in the Xianyang Palace after going to various counties from time to time to investigate, and he was still satisfied with the progress made by the people of Daqin during this time.

He did this, in fact, he just wanted to improve the happiness of the people of the Great Qin Dynasty in the shortest possible time, although there was no such word in this era, but Yinggao knew that when he brought the people of the Peacock Dynasty into the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty in the near future, such a sense of happiness would be transmitted to the ears of the people of the Peacock Dynasty through the mouths of the people of the Great Qin, so that many of his goals would be achieved without having to say it himself.

At this time, the relics had been in that small courtyard in Xianyang City for a short time, and in general, he was still very satisfied with the life in the largest city in Great Qin, especially for the woman who was personally arranged by the emperor to take him, he was even more satisfied.

The only thing that didn't make him happy was that after he hesitated to become the monarch of the Peacock Empire, he began to eat and drink, and he had no skills at all, and he could only rely on doing a little work hired by others to earn some money to support himself in the capital of Great Qin.

But because he was born differently from ordinary people, there are really many nobles of Daqin who spend more time looking for him to do some work on the surface, often looking at such a person who looks like he speaks the not very pure Daqin language, and many nobles will be amused Hahaha.

In this case, the income of the relics is still enough for him to survive in the land of Daqin, and by this time he has begun to prepare to accumulate some money, because he has no other hobbies, that is, he loves women, and he has a dream in his heart, that is, to save enough money and marry a lady of Daqin, in the words of the people in this land, it is called a concubine.

It's just that his wife told him that she doesn't have any problem with this matter, that is, the emperor of Great Qin said at the beginning, the relics are not as good as others, whether he can marry another lady, it has to be agreed by the emperor of Great Qin, if he does not agree, everything is in vain.
