Qin Empire, Jiaodong County, Zhifu (Fu) Port.

As a natural port that can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, Zhifu Port has a long history, and the fishing and navigation industries here are particularly developed.

Moreover, during the period of the Qi Kingdom of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was an important place and key point for the trade between the Qi State and other vassal states, and this place was the most frequent place for countless merchants in the world to trade.

The unique geographical conditions and abundant products are the biggest natural advantages of Zhifu Port, so the shipbuilding industry is also very developed.

This is also the port where Xu Fu went to sea, and this time he was appointed as the general of Shenwu, and he also returned here to select elite soldiers as preparations for the Eastern Crusade.

As a Wu Baizhu who was directly promoted from a commander of 100 people to a general as the main commander of the Eastern Crusade, what pressed on Wu Shi's heart at this moment was not only glory and excitement, but also pressure.

At this moment, the sky was cloudless, the breeze was pleasant, and the harbor of Zhifu Harbor was now full of many soldiers dressed in black armor and weapons and blades.

Their eyes were calm, their faces were expressionless, and their expressions were extremely solemn waiting for something.

And outside the port, there are many onlookers with fishing boats, they are all discussing and making noise.

"Look at this posture, is there another war? When is this war going to be a head? A gray-haired old man shook his head and sighed.

The people watching the excitement next to him shook their heads when they heard the old man's words, and they were all silent.

This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people like them can talk about.

However, next to the old man, a neatly dressed young Confucian with an extraordinary temperament stood and said a few words to the white-haired old man.

"Although I don't know when this war will end, I have heard from the community that this trip to sea is related to the legendary Penglai immortals."

"It is said that since the last time Xu Fu went to sea to find the real Penglai Immortal, and asked for the elixir of immortality, he also got an immortal weapon from the immortal."

"It is said that this trip to sea is related to that immortal weapon."

When the old man heard this, he looked at this Confucian with white eyebrows, "You Confucian is interesting, you don't study Confucianism in the bookstore, but you came out to see this excitement, and you know a lot about this rumor." ”

"Mr. Zhang Liang, a Confucianist, smiled." Confucius waved his hand at the old man and said.

The white-haired old man looked at the Confucian and smiled, then shook his head and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang hurriedly followed, because he had an intuition that let him know that this old man was definitely not simple.

……

Taking a deep breath, Wu Wei relieved the pressure in his heart, and with a wave of the red cloak behind him, he walked towards the port surrounded by a group of guards.

At this moment, Taishi, who was waiting at the port, who had rushed from Xianyang to help the abbot go to sea to worship, was waiting.

He looked at the rising sun in the sky, and then saw that the water in the missing moment had reached the Sun Heaven Pool, and immediately shouted loudly.

"The sacrifice to the sea begins!"

Then the sacrificial music sounded, but there were two rows standing on the altar at this moment, one was the sea god that fishermen in the coastal area had been worshipping, and the other was engraved with the words Penglai Immortal.

This was also added according to Emperor Qin's request, and the officials who came from Xianyang such as Wu Wei did not feel that there was anything wrong.

However, those fishermen and the county guards of Jiaodong County felt a little strange, but they were helpless to give the order from Emperor Qin himself.

After the sacrifice to the gods, it is time to perform various procedures such as performing documents, rewarding the spirits, and placing the Taipingfang.

When the sun was at its peak, the whole sacrifice was finally over, and under the shouts of Wu Su standing at the bow of the ship and drawing his sword, the two hundred ships moored in Zhifu Harbor also sounded the horn of response at the same time.

Two hundred ships rode the wind and waves from the harbor, and the momentum of the army was more powerful than the infantry's marching charge.

Not only the surrounding fishermen exclaimed, but even the fish and shrimp under the sea were shivering and hiding in the depths of the reef.

The speed of the building ship was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for the onlookers to see that the high sail on the top of the building boat had become extremely small, and it was only then that everyone slowly came back to their senses.

"Cangwu, I'm here."

Wu Yu stood on the deck and looked at the blue sea in the distance, and said solemnly in his heart.

He was completely different when he embarked on this journey again after a two-month absence, and this also made the first step towards hegemony of the Qin State.

On the other side, Cangwu, who was teaching Xiao Siqiu to read and write, looked up in the direction of Qin Guo with feeling.

Xiao Siqiu, who finished writing a word on the beach, raised his head and looked at Cangwu, who was a little distracted, and asked suspiciously:

"What's wrong? Teacher? ”

"Uh, nothing, nothing." Cang Wu came back to his senses at this time, and then said, "That's right, Siqiu. You already know these words, and I can't teach you the rest of the more advanced things. ”

"After all, I'm just a soldier, and learning isn't what I'm good at, so I can't teach you now. If you want to learn something else, I'll have to teach you to kill. ”

"But that's not what you learned as a girl, and if Summer knew, I'd have to be beaten up by that kid. If you want to learn, go and learn something else from the craftsmen and doctors in the camp, it's better than my murderous thing. ”

In order to promise to take care of Xiao Siqiu in the summer, Cangwu wanted to break his head, and for the sake of seeing the little guy's studiousness, Cangwu simply accepted him as an apprentice and taught him to read.

It's just that it didn't take more than a month to teach, and the inventory in Cangwu's head was emptied, and even now in addition to teaching her to kill people, march, set up formations, and kill enemies, Cangwu can't think of anything that can be taught.

"I want the teacher to teach me."

It's just that as soon as the words fell, Xiao Siqiu raised his head and looked at Cang Wu seriously.

"I've said that I have nothing to teach you except killing." Cang Wu said helplessly.

"I want to learn how a teacher kills people."

Looking at Xiao Siqiu's serious look, Cang Wu was stunned, and then said sternly: No! As a woman, how can you learn these things? Don't say I'm not allowed, even if I'm here in the summer, I'm not allowed to learn. ”

"But Siqiu wants to be stronger! Become stronger than a teacher and an adult! The little girl, who was already a little calm, was excited at this time.

"Because Siqiu no longer wants to be left behind because of weakness! Because of weakness, the home was destroyed! Because of his weakness, his parents were also killed in the war! It wasn't until he was rescued by the adults that Siqiu also dragged the adults back because of his weakness and failed to keep up with the pace of the adults' departure. ”

"So Siqiu wants to be strong and wants to protect adults! Protect the teacher! Protect yourself! I want to protect the people Siqiu cares about! ”

As she spoke, the usually strong little girl actually cried out at the moment, and some of them couldn't cry silently.

Cangwu looked at Xiao Siqiu squatting on the beach, for a long time, and sighed deeply.

"Okay, although I don't want you to learn anything about killing, I don't want you to be bullied either. So, I'll give you a chance. ”

Cang Wu's voice changed, and he said solemnly: "As long as you can complete a day's training tomorrow with the trained soldiers, then I will teach you." ”
