Chapter Forty-Eight: A Sign of Faith!

It was already the end of June, and the moon had long since known where to hide, and the vast night sky overhead was full of stars, and the night was like a huge net, enveloping the entire heaven and earth.

And the treasure ship, in this night, all the way to the direction of coming, sailed on the sea with the wind and waves, and left Liaodong behind him far away.

When he just jumped off the hot air balloon, he was soaked with seawater, and the wetness was extremely uncomfortable, so as soon as he got on the treasure ship, the first thing Zhao Chen did was to return to his cabin and take a comfortable bath.

In the space-time supermarket, there is fresh water, which is why the treasure ship never prepares a fresh water warehouse!

There is fresh water in the supermarket, and naturally there is also a bath bucket, and a few wingmen were arranged to guard it, and the bath bucket and fresh water were given to Wuxin and Zhu Fu, and they were also sent over.

After all, these two people are also like him, at this time they are soaked in seawater, and they are uncomfortable and fall second, and the key is that they are afraid of the wind and cold, which will be a little depressing.

After arranging all this, Zhao Chen pushed Cheng Chumo, who was in his cabin, out, and the whole person got into the bathtub naked.

"Two big men, they still come to this set!" Cheng Chumo was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Chen's knocking him out of the cabin, leaning on the outside of the cabin with a bored face, knocking on the closed hatch with his backhand, and muttering in a dissatisfied tone.

Hearing Cheng Chumo's nagging outside, Zhao Chen, who was taking a bath inside, couldn't help but pout slightly, laughed silently, but ignored Cheng Chumo's nagging.

This is not a damn bath, it's such a big cabin, and a pair of eyes are staring at it, even if this person is Cheng Chumo, Zhao Chen feels uncomfortable, let alone taking a bath.

"That's right!" Hearing that Zhao Chen didn't speak, Cheng Chumo suddenly seemed to remember something, patted the cabin door hard, and asked suspiciously: "When I was down there just now, I wasn't embarrassed to ask, what is the back mountain?" ”

"Uh..." Zhao Chen just said casually at the time, but he didn't expect to be remembered by Cheng Chumo, at this time, he suddenly heard Cheng Chumo ask, the expression on his face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while, there were some words stopped.

"Huh?" After waiting for a long time, without waiting for Zhao Chen's answer, Cheng Chumo, who was originally leaning on the cabin, couldn't help but pat the hatch hard, and asked curiously: "What do you mean, why don't you answer?" ”

"No, I'm thinking, how can I explain it to you!" Zhao Chen heard Cheng Chumo banging on the door hard, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, only blaming himself for being quick for a while.

Knowing that his brother was full of curiosity, he couldn't get over it if he didn't explain it today, so he had to explain awkwardly after groaning slightly: "This meaning, its... In fact, it means that two men have each other..."

"Broken sleeves?" However, without waiting for Zhao Chen's embarrassing explanation, Cheng Chumo, who was originally curious and waiting outside, immediately answered outside when he heard Zhao Chen's first half of the sentence.

“… Big... Probably yes! Hearing Cheng Chumo's four-character summary, Zhao Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he was embarrassed to death for a long time, but he didn't know that this thing had long been strange in this era.

"Hahahaha!" Hearing Zhao Chen's embarrassing admission inside, Cheng Chumo, who was originally sitting outside, suddenly burst into shocking laughter after a slight silence.

"Laugh at your sister, I said it casually!" I couldn't hear Cheng Chumo's laughter the most, especially when he was embarrassed, Zhao Chen felt that the whole person was so angry.

Hearing Zhao Chen's roar, Cheng Chumo suddenly turned over and stood up, not daring to continue laughing outside Zhao Chen's cabin, but laughing all the way to his cabin.

The laughter of the night owl, even if it was far away, Zhao Chen could hear it clearly.

After taking a comfortable bath, changing into a set of clean robes, he came out of the cabin, and when he waited for the guards to clean up the cabin, Zhao Chen walked towards Cheng Chumo's cabin.

There is still a question in his heart, why the treasure ship will go and return, and all the flags of Datang are hoisted on the ship, Zhao Chen wants to find out whether this is what Cheng Chumo meant, or Li Er's authorization.

This point is very important, because this point is related to Cheng Chumo's future, and everyone has made great contributions to this trip to Goguryeo.

Returning to Chang'an and getting Li Erfeng's reward is essential!

However, if this is Cheng Chumo's unauthorized decision for him, then, once investigated, Cheng Chumo's credit will inevitably be compromised.

It's just that when Zhao Chen came to Cheng Chumo's cabin and pushed the door open and entered, what he saw was Cheng Chumo dressed in armor, lying on the couch obliquely, his eyes closed, and his nose snoring evenly.

In just such a short time, this thing is already asleep!

"The young master hasn't slept for several days!" When Zhao Chen came over just now, a general from the Cheng Mansion was guarding outside Cheng Chumo's cabin, but he did not stop Zhao Chen's arrival.

Putting aside the relationship between Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, he is the identity of a marquis, so as the general of the Cheng Mansion, even if he knows that Zhao Chen may wake up Cheng Chumo, he can only pretend not to see it.

That's the difference in identity!

"Then let the place sleep in silence for a while!" Hearing the general's words, Zhao Chen nodded in understanding, and then, he threw a sentence at the Cheng family general in front of him, turned around and left Cheng Chumo's cabin.

The general said that Cheng Chumo had not slept for several days, and of course Zhao Chen believed this.

If he and Cheng Chumo were exchanged for this matter, and it was Cheng Chumo who suddenly disappeared, probably he would be the same as Cheng Chumo, and he would definitely not be able to close his eyes until he got the exact news.

Far away on the deck, the rough voice of the enemy could be heard from afar, and it seemed that several people were sitting there bragging about it.

There are not so many cabins on the treasure ship, so some people have lived on the deck from the beginning, but fortunately, the weather has not turned cold at this time, and the deck is naturally not so cold.

Instead of going to Lei Kedi's place to join in the fun, Zhao Chen got out of Cheng Chumo's cabin and simply walked towards the bow of the treasure ship, which was the territory of the guards and the heart of the treasure ship.

At the bow of the ship, there is a small cabin, built on the deck of the treasure ship.

When Zhao Chen passed, there was a light on in the small cabin, and a man in his thirties was looking down at a chart spread out on the desk in front of him.

Don't look at this cabin is not big, but everything in it is the most precious treasure ship, compass, chart, telescope, etc., at this time, the reason why the treasure ship can continue to ride the wind and waves in this night, it is precisely these things that it relies on.

"Master Hou!" Seeing Zhao Chen come in suddenly, the man who was originally looking at the charts suddenly raised his head, bowed slightly at Zhao Chen, who came in, and spoke.

"It's okay, don't panic!" The man in front of him was not a member of Zhao Chen's personal guards, but a sea expert who was excavated later and sent to the treasure ship by Jiang Chao.

Therefore, every time he faced Zhao Chen, he would show an unnatural smile, which was obviously caused by nervousness.

"When Ben Hou was away, did Cheng Dudu send a report to Chang'an?" After waiting for the man in front of him to return to the case and not so nervous, Zhao Chen looked at the man in front of him and asked.

"Yes!" Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, the man in front of him almost didn't think about it, so he rushed to Zhao Chen and told him everything before and after.

"yes, got it!" Listening to the man in front of him, he told the matter as it was, and after learning that it was really Li Er's instructions, Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then got up and prepared to leave.

"Hou... However, just as Zhao Chen got up and just stepped out of the hatch with one foot, the wingman behind him, who had originally seen Zhao Chen and looked extremely nervous, suddenly said behind him: "The villain can ask Hou... Is there one thing about Hou Ye? ”

"Huh?" Hearing the sound behind him, it seemed that he had mustered up a lot of courage before he asked the words, Zhao Chen suddenly turned around curiously, looked at the wingman behind him, and asked, "What?" ”?

"That's... Is that hot air balloon still there? It took a lot of courage to ask just now, and when Zhao Chen turned around, the man in front of him suddenly became nervous again.

However, although he was nervous, he still met Zhao Chen's gaze and stammered and asked.

"Uh..."I thought that the wingman would ask him anything else, but as a result, I didn't expect it to be a hot air balloon, but when he heard the wingman's words, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned.

This sounds a bit strange, but before, the scene of the hot air balloon being ignited and exploded by him at sea was clearly seen by the Goguryeo people and the people on the treasure ship.

But now, the man suddenly asked such a thing, as if the previous scene was an illusion he had made, and it was only used to deceive others.

He looked at the dark sea behind him, and then turned back to look at the man in front of him.

Zhao Chen just wanted to say that the hot air balloon had been destroyed, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that the tension in the eyes of the man in front of him suddenly became more and more obvious.

So, after figuring out something, Zhao Chen suddenly said with a smile at the man: "Yes!" ”
