Chapter 407: Ichiro Matsudaira Rescued

"Master Zhang, we've been wandering around here for several hours, what direction is Fusang Island in?"

When he entered the Fusang Sea, Wang Xiang canceled the automatic navigation and should have operated it personally, but after searching for a long time nearby, he did not find the location of Fusang Island.

Zhang Yicheng fiddled with the simple Sinan in his hand and compared it with a shabby and rough sea chart, Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, whether it was the guide system on the warship or the world map in his hand, it was countless times more accurate than what Zhang Yicheng had in his hand.

However, it is still difficult to locate the vast sea without any markers at a glance, which requires human experience, and only Zhang Yicheng on the warship has been to Fuso.

"Master Hou, this matter is urgent."

Seeing Zhang Yicheng's expression that he couldn't find a very normal expression, Wang Xiang really didn't know what to say, in Zhang Yicheng's words, there was a lot of uncertainty about going to sea by boat, and it was already a very lucky thing to be able to reach the sea area of Fusang smoothly, because going to sea by boat often happened when I wanted to go to this place and finally drifted to another place far away, and so on.

It's not a way to look around, maybe the direction is wrong, and it will go farther and farther, I don't know where it will go, Wang Xiang simply dropped anchor and stopped the warship, and waited for Zhang Yicheng to figure it out before setting off again.

In the evening, Zhang Yicheng suddenly ran into the cabin and shouted: "Master Hou, there is a ship ahead!" ”

Got a boat? Wang Xiang suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, ran to the deck and looked ahead, and sure enough, he could vaguely see a wooden boat floating in the sea.

"Master Hou, could it be Fusang's warship?"

Zhang Yicheng looked a little worried, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of ship it is." Just in the right direction for us. "Even a warship is nothing to be afraid of. He didn't think there would be any warship in the world that could pose a threat to his warship. There is no need to use the heavy machine guns on the warship, and the wooden ships can be sunk by going straight on the rampage.

Of course, he also counted on the ship in front of him to guide him, so naturally he didn't really want to sink it.

It was too far away to see the specific situation of the ship, but it could be seen that the ship seemed to be heading in his direction, Wang Xiang returned to the control cabin and took out the telescope to look ahead.

The style of the ship does not look like a Datang ship, the hull is large, but there are obviously many damages, and it seems that it has suffered some terrible attack. Wang Xiang couldn't help but think of a storm a few days ago, when that storm hit, Zhang Yicheng was scared inclearly, a storm like that is very dangerous for a ship, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

However, except for some bumps and bumps, the terrible storm failed to cause the slightest damage to the steel warship, and Zhang Yicheng once again saw the power of the steel warship.

Wang Xiang didn't know much about ancient ships, so he handed the telescope to Zhang Yicheng and said, "Look at what kind of ship the ship in front of you is." ”

Although Datang already has clairvoyance, but has always been regarded by Li Er as a secret in the army, so there are not many people who know, on the way to sail, Zhang Yicheng saw Wang Xiang many times with this strange thing looking into the distance, and he had long been curious, and when he heard this, the telescope handed over by Wang Xiang learned from him and put it in front of his eyes. The next moment, he noticed that the originally vague ship suddenly became clear, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"How. What kind of ship is that? ”

Hearing Wang Xiang's question, Zhang Yicheng reacted, and hurriedly looked at the ship in front of him, although there were many damages, he still recognized it at a glance, and said in surprise: "It seems to be the ship of the Fusang envoy." ”

"Fuso's ship?" Wang Xiang asked suspiciously.

Zhang Yicheng nodded and said: "When the Fusang envoy came to the Tang Dynasty, the lower officials saw the boat they were on, and it would not be wrong, the ship in front of him was the ship of the Fusang envoy." ”

Isn't that Ichiro Matsudaira? It's not that he's been on the road for a few months, and why is he still sailing at sea in a broken ship? Could it be that the Fuso minister named Soga Ezo had successfully usurped the throne, so Matsudaira Ichiro had to flee overseas?

At this time, Matsudaira Ichiro was exhausted on the Fuso wooden boat, and everyone was exhausted from a fight against the storm, but fortunately they escaped from the hands of death, but the wooden boat was seriously damaged and could not last long, and they were still facing great danger.

Just now, a crew member told him that he had found a huge strange ship in front of him, and Matsudaira Ichiro hurriedly came out of the cabin, and the huge strange ship that the crew saw was the Jiayuan warship.

Matsudaira Ichiro immediately ordered people to approach the huge ship in front of him in the hope of getting rescue, and also had people shout loudly at the bow of the ship in an attempt to attract attention.

In fact, Wang Xiang had already seen them through the telescope.

"It's really Ichiro Matsudaira." Wang Xiang put down the binoculars and smiled slightly, he could see that the other party's wooden boat was about to fall apart, since it was an acquaintance, he naturally wanted to help, and he also counted on Matsudaira Ichiro to lead the way.

Returning to the control cabin to operate the warship towards the Fuso wooden ship, Matsudaira Ichiro was shocked to find that the strange ship in front of him was even bigger than he imagined, and this strange ship was actually made of steel!

Just as Matsudaira Ichiro was observing the Kayuan warship with a surprised expression, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from above.

"Mr. Matsudaira Ichiro, long time no see."

Ichiro Matsudaira looked up when he heard this, Wang Xiang was looking at him condescendingly on the deck of the warship, Ichiro Matsudaira rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief: "Marquis Jiayuan? ”

Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "Does Mr. Matsudaira Ichiro need help?" ”

Matsudaira Ichiro reacted at this time and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we encountered a storm, it was so terrible that our ship almost sank, and I asked Hou Ye to help us." ”

Wang Xiang saw very clearly from the deck, the deck of the Fusang wooden ship had been very badly damaged, and the sea water was constantly seeping into the cracks in the deck, and several Fusang people were constantly scooping water out, but it was impossible to hold on for too long.

"I'll lower the rope ladder, and you will climb up the rope ladder."

Wang Xiang was not worried about what danger they would pose when they boarded the warship, there were more than a dozen capable people on the warship, and any one of them could easily eliminate all of them, besides, looking at Matsudaira Ichiro's appearance, he was extremely respectful to himself, and he had no other thoughts at all.

When the last Fuso man climbed onto the warship, the Fuso wooden ship slowly sank in the penetration of the sea, Matsudaira Ichiro patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Wang Xiang.

"Thank you Lord Hou for coming to the rescue, otherwise we may be buried in the sea and unable to return to our homeland."

"What? Didn't you escape from Fuso? ”
