Liaodong, Liaodong Sea;

It was noon, the sea was calm, the blue waves were rippling, the sky was clear, the warm sun was shining, and the seagulls were flying in the distance.

In such weather, if you lie on the deck, do nothing, don't think about anything, sunbathe warmly, and drink cold coconut water, it is simply refreshing.

It's a pity that for the entire people on the ship today, no one has the heart to think about these when they have time, and they all look sad, since they left Liaodong and arrived at sea, they have always been like this.

This time, their task was to go deep into the Maqishui, destroy the Jingguan on the south bank of the Maqishui, and collect back the bones of those soldiers of the previous dynasty, and now the Jingguan has been destroyed, and the bones have all been recovered.

It stands to reason that this is the successful completion of the task, however, because of the sudden disappearance of Zhao Chen when he was leaving, this task that should have been successfully completed has become imperfect.

Now, the ship full of the bones of the former soldiers has been ordered by Cheng Chumo to escort back to Liaodong Bay, along with his Lingnan sailors and the guards of the pro-army.

Therefore, only Jiang Chao's soldiers and horses, as well as the people of the Flying Tiger Army and the new military camp, and of course, Zhao Chen's treasure ship and the treasure ship, the two hundred wingmen guarded by them.

Calculating the time, it has been eight days since they left Liaodong, that is to say, it has been eight full days since Zhao Chen disappeared, and these eight days are a great torment for everyone at sea.

It is said that life is like a year, and it is not an exaggeration!

Especially, for the Lei Kedi in the new military camp, in this long waiting torment, there is a little more deep self-blame than others, no matter what, in the eyes of others, it is actually them who left Zhao Chen.

Although, so far, no one has dared to say this kind of thing on the ship, but if no one says it, it does not mean that they can't see it.

Especially, as long as every time they look at the wingmen on the ship, whether it is Zhao Chen's wingmen and guards, or Cheng Chu's silent guards, the indifference in their eyes will embarrass them.

Burdened with such pressure, staying on the ship every day, Lei Kedi has asked Cheng Chu for countless times that he is willing to take the men and horses of the new military camp to Liaodong again to find Zhao Chen's whereabouts.

However, all his requests were rejected by Cheng Chumo!

Now the supreme command of the ship is in the hands of Cheng Chumo, the governor of the Lingnan Navy, and without Cheng Chumo's consent, no one wants to leave the ship for half a step.

Without Cheng Chumo's consent, Lei Kedi could only take the men and horses of the new military camp and stay on the treasure ship honestly, looking at Liaodong in the distance, hoping that Zhao Chen would suddenly appear.

Speaking of Cheng Chumo, at this time, Cheng Chumo was standing on the deck of the treasure ship, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at Liaodong from afar, like a sculpture, sometimes such a posture can be maintained for a long time.

When Zhao Chen first came to Chang'an, Cheng Chumo, whom he knew, was manic and impulsive, and when he encountered anything, he basically did things on impulse, and he never thought about the consequences after doing it.

However, after going through a lot of things in the past few years, Cheng Chumo is no longer the original Cheng Chumo, he has become mature and stable!

Just like at this moment, I obviously wanted to take people back to Liaodong, but in the end, I rejected everyone's requests, and only held a telescope every day, silently looking at the place in Liaodong.

"It's been eight days!" Just when Cheng Chu silently looked at Liaodong, Dugu Mou, who was dressed in armor, came out of the cabin, silently came behind Cheng Chumo, and glanced at the direction of Liaodong, and then said: "We don't have much dry food!" ”

"How many days are left?" Hearing Dugumou's words behind him, Cheng Chumo still held the binoculars and asked in a calm tone.

"About three days!" When Dugu Mou heard this, he withdrew his gaze from a distance, turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo and asked, "Do you want to repatriate some people?" ”

This expedition to Goguryeo, everyone's rations were compressed dry food that Zhao Chen took from the supermarket, and at the beginning, Zhao Chen put a lot of dry food on each boat in Shuizhai, which was enough for the army to eat.

However, the original dry food was prepared for them to go to Ma Lishui, and when they came back from Ma Lishui, they went directly into the sea, and Zhao Chen didn't see it, so naturally there was no supplement.

Now, counting the trip to Ma Lishui, it has been more than ten days, and the dry food on the ship is naturally empty, which is still the result of letting the escort and the sailor leave.

"Let Jiang Chao take someone back!" Hearing Dugumou's words, Cheng Chumo finally put down the binoculars, turned his head, looked at Dugumou beside him and said: "In addition, from today onwards, let people learn to go to the sea to fish together!" ”

"It's okay to fish!" When Dugu Mou originally heard the first half of Cheng Chumo's sentence, he nodded approvingly, but then when he heard the second half of the sentence, the expression on his face was stunned for a moment, his eyes glanced left and right at the deck, and asked suspiciously: "This doesn't seem to be able to be eaten, why do you want to eat it raw?" ”

"Isn't that possible?" Hearing Dugumou's question, Cheng Chumo suddenly took it for granted and said: "At this time, don't talk about the conditions, follow the wingmen to learn, as long as you can fill your stomach!" ”

“… Listen to you! When Dugu Mou heard this, he recalled it in his mind a little, and the scene of eating raw fish immediately hit a spirit, and then, when he looked at Cheng Chumo, his tone was a little reluctant.

And just when the two of them were standing on the deck and discussing the matter, they suddenly saw a person with a hundred horsemen appearing on the deck, his eyes first glanced around, and after discovering Cheng Chumo's figure, he immediately came towards Cheng Chumo.

"It seems that His Majesty has come to news!" Seeing the appearance of the hundred horsemen, Cheng Chumo suddenly frowned slightly, looked at the hundred knights who came towards him, and said to Dugu Mou beside him.

The telegram of Zhao Chen's disappearance has been sent back to Chang'an by him, it has been eight days, and Cheng Chumo is really waiting for it, so the news of Zhao Chen's disappearance is transmitted back to Chang'an, from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Chumo actually hopes to get Chang'an's support!

If it doesn't work, he will take people and kill back to Liaodong again, that is, he will fight with the Goguryeo people to the end, and he will also find Zhao Chen's whereabouts!

"It is His Majesty's will!" Sure enough, just after Cheng Chumo's words fell, the hundred horsemen came to Cheng Chumo and handed the translated telegram in his hand to Cheng Chumo and said.

Taking the telegram from the hundred riders, Cheng Chumo's eyes swept towards the telegram, and then he raised his head, took a deep breath, and handed the telegram to Dugu Mou, who was looking at him aside.

The content of the telegram is only a few words, but these words are concise and to the point, seeing these words, the boredom that Cheng Chumo has accumulated in his heart for many days disappeared all at once.

He originally sent a report to Chang'an, thinking that His Majesty could agree to let him take people back to Liaodong, let go of his hands and feet to fight with the Goguryeo people, and if necessary, he also hoped that Chang'an could give him help for backup.

However, the problem now is that Chang'an replied, and, to his surprise, His Majesty's reply to him turned out to be much better than the result he expected.

"Orders from me!" Dugu Mou on the side was still looking down at the telegram, but Cheng Chumo had already strode away from the side of the ship, and said loudly as he walked: "A quarter of an hour later, the people of the new military camp will go to Liaodong with me along with the treasure ship!" ”

"What do you mean?" When Cheng Chumo said this, it happened that Jiang Chao's figure also appeared on the deck, and he happened to hear Cheng Chumo's words, and immediately frowned and asked

"Your Majesty's will just came!" Because of Li Er's will, Cheng Chumo's mood at the moment was unprecedentedly good, so, hearing Jiang Chao's question, Cheng Chumo immediately patiently explained: "I want to take people directly to the Goguryeo people in Liaodong, and directly ask the Goguryeo people for people!" ”

After saying this, Cheng Chumo immediately patted Jiang Chao's shoulder and said, "It's useless to have more people this time, so you can wait patiently here for me to come back with Brother Chen!" ”

Cheng Chumo's order was immediately transmitted on the treasure ship, and when they heard this order, the people in the new military camp suddenly became crazy and excited.

Especially Lei Kedi, with a pair of eyes that released a wolf-like gaze, it didn't feel like he was going to put pressure on the Goguryeo people, but to run to fight with Goguryeo!

The treasure ship, which had been anchored at sea for eight days, finally ended its rest in this afternoon.

In the slogan of a group of wingmen and sailors, the heavy iron anchor was slowly pulled out of the water, and the oars on both sides of the hull were also slapped into the water at the same time in the sound of the horn, splashing countless splashes.

At this time, it was the afternoon, and the treasure ship, which was like a giant, slowly began to move with the joint efforts of two hundred wingmen and sailors, sailing all the way to Liaodong in the distance.

When she was in Shuizhai before, the Goguryeo woman had been on the treasure boat, and she stayed on the treasure ship these days, and her mind was full of dreams, and when the time came, she would follow the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an.

At this time, suddenly the treasure ship moved, and I thought it was going to Chang'an, but as a result, I happily rushed out of the cabin, and when I found that the treasure ship was actually sailing towards Liaodong, my face suddenly turned white, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were suddenly full of despair.

However, for this Goguryeo woman, there was no one on the treasure ship at this time, because everyone stood on the deck at this time, looking at Liaodong at the end of the line of sight, and all of them showed a look of contemplation on their faces.
