Chapter 1 What is the purpose?
"Big fish! Lots of big fish! β
"Oh my God, which ...... you see"
Before dawn, Wu Kai was woken up by the shouts on the deck, he got up and pushed open the hatch with his clothes, and happened to hit Han Shizhong in the face, Han Shizhong hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master National Teacher!" β
Wu Kai waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and then took Han Shizhong out of the cabin together, and when he reached the deck, he saw dozens of sailors huddled around the boat gang on the right, pointing to the sea and shouting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"What are you all arguing about? Didn't you see the National Teacher coming?! β
It wasn't until Han Shizhong opened his mouth to scold that those sailors discovered the existence of the two of them, and hurriedly flashed to both sides and bowed to salute, taking advantage of the gap they let go, Wu Kai raised his eyes and saw that on the blue and vast sea, there were seven or eight whales swimming and playing, and the huge body even jumped out of the water from time to time, and the white waves splashed in the air, which was spectacular.
"Sure enough, it's this thing again."
Han Shizhong sighed on the side: "To be honest, if it weren't for these few seas, I really wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a big fish in the world!" β
"It's called a whale, but it's not really a fish, it's ......."
Wu Kai was doing popular science for Han Shizhong, but he saw that the sky suddenly turned red, and then the Wandao morning glow spread and expanded along the sea, and quickly coated everything in the world with a layer of orange-red soft light!
The orange-red soft light rippled with the water waves, which already seemed like a dream, and it happened that there were two whales who also liked to have fun, and they both spewed out two water columns of a height of a few feet, and the water mist was filled, and suddenly it was transformed into a rainbow bridge in mid-air.
In this situation, even a rough man like Han Shizhong couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while-many sailors thought they had encountered some miracle and were busy kowtowing to the whales.
A moment later, seeing the rising sun and the group of whales sinking to the bottom of the sea in turn, Wu Kai retracted his gaze unsatisfactorily, but found that Han Shizhong on the side was peeking at himself, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile: "What, General Han is curious about me?" β
Han Shizhong met Wu Kai's gaze and hesitated for a moment, then made a gesture and motioned to the sailors to retreat a little more, and then said: "It's not curious, it's just that the last general doesn't understand what the purpose of the national teacher leading the team to sea is?!" β
When he first became the deputy commander of the navy, Han Shizhong also thought that Wu Kai really wanted to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality, so that he could refine the elixir of immortality for the emperor.
He was also depressed for a while because of this, and he only felt that his good youth was wasted on such an absurd and unruly bird thing, which was really a waste - if it weren't for the fact that Wu Song was like-minded with him, and this national teacher was notoriously difficult to provoke, he was afraid that he would have picked his son and left!
However, the experience of going to sea with Wu Kai this time made Han Shizhong gradually change his mind.
This national teacher does not seem to be like the rumors that 'he must call the will of ghosts and gods', and he is not even interested in the so-called immortal relics in Goryeo, but everywhere he goes, he asks people to explore the products and minerals in the place in detail, and even military deployments, which is really suspicious.
Besides, when you go to sea to find the elixir, shouldn't you go to that inaccessible place?
However, Wu Kai ordered the fleet to follow the instructions of the guide and move along the trade route that had already opened up and matured!
This couldn't help but make Han Shizhong begin to doubt his true purpose for going to sea.
So when he was in Qingshang Road, Han Shizhong deliberately found some local unique herbs, and Baba ran to Wu Kai to offer treasures, blowing the broken grass roots into the sky, just like the nine-turn golden pill of Taishang Laojun.
As Han Shizhong expected, even if he had never seen the herb, Wu Kai still didn't have much interest in it, only glanced at it perfunctorily in front of Han Shizhong, turned his head and threw it directly into the bilge.
He really didn't go to sea for some elixir!
Han Shizhong hesitated again and again in the past few days, and finally decided to ask Wu Kai directly - anyway, at present, the soldiers from the Western Army account for more than 30% of this fleet, and he is not worried that Wu Kai will dare to blatantly kill him.
After asking the doubts in his heart at this time, Han Shizhong stared at Wu Kai deadly, intending to distinguish whether his answer was true or false from the subtle changes in his face.
If it is true, if Wu Kai tries his best to conceal his intentions, after he returns to the Great Song Dynasty, he can only put these doubts on the court.
"My purpose?"
Wu Kai and Han Shizhong looked at each other for a while, suddenly took a deep breath, opened his arms to the sea, and said passionately: "General Han, you see that this sea of stars is so vast and vast, don't you want to go to the end of the day, the other side of the sea, and take a good look?!" β
The muscles at the corners of Han Shizhong's mouth trembled a few times before he dryly squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "I don't want to!" β
He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Wu Kai's words are pure nonsense - if he really wants to explore the unknown, why do he have to let the fleet move along the trade route?
"Hahaha...... Just kidding, I'm not really interested in traveling the world. Wu Kai laughed a few times, then changed his words, and said calmly: "Okay, let's be serious, in fact, I don't mean anything else when I go to sea, I just want to find a suitable place and try to be the emperor of the soil for a few days." β
Looking at Wu Kai's serious expression, Han Shizhong had the urge to give him an old fist, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "My lord, my Han Wu's shoulders are very narrow, but I can't afford such a joke from you, if you don't want to tell the truth, you will never ask about it, this is always okay, right?" β
"Look, look."
Wu Kai spread his hands and said helplessly: "When I first opened my mouth, everyone in the capital was a superior person, but now to tell the truth, you treat me as a liar - it seems that this truth is really unspeakable." β
At this time, Han Shizhong only thought that he was playing tricks on himself, and he had completely lost the meaning of continuing to ask, and under the pretext of going to inspect the storage of fresh water and grain, he was ready to leave.
"General Han."
At the moment when Han Shizhong bowed down and retired, Wu Kai suddenly said faintly: "Since you know that the building is about to fall, it's not too much to prepare a back road in advance, right?" β
Han Shizhong paused, looked back at Wu Kai suspiciously, and was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly heard the sailors on the lookout shouting: "National teacher, commander!" LandγThe front found the land! β
Han Shizhong's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly called for the officers and men on the ship to take their places, and asked the flag bearer to send a signal to inform the following warships to be vigilant so as not to have any accidents when landing.
When he finished all this and wanted to look for Wu Kai again, he saw him standing on the bow of the boat, looking back and forth with an object made of gold.
