"There is a green eyebrow mark on the bow of the ship, which is the warship of the Zhenglan Empire. Lao Lu put down the far-sighted goggles and said with great certainty.

"Are you sure?" Chang Sheng was a little skeptical: "What are the warships of the Zhenglan Empire doing in this sea far away from land?"

"I don't know what its purpose is," Lao Lu said: "But what I am very sure of is that the green eyebrow mark on the bow of the ship is the largest military ship in the naval regiment - the green eyebrow boat, Jiang Lao Turtle is right, this military ship is forty-five zhang long, eighteen zhang wide, four layers, nine masts and twelve sails, which can accommodate 2,000 people to fight." ”

He handed the telescope to Chang Sheng: "You see, there are three batteries on each of the second, third, and fourth floors of the ship, and such firepower, even if there are three warships on the opposite side, can be destroyed by it at the same time." ”

Chang Sheng took the telescope and looked at it, and nodded: "The armor is neat, the swords and guns are numerous, and so on......" He stopped the telescope on an apricot-yellow flag on the bow of the ship: "There is a 'paragraph' written on the flag, isn't it the Demon General Yechen, but the ......"

"Zuo Jin Wuwei is in charge of Duan Zheng. Lao Lu took over the conversation, his face was solemn.

He pondered for a moment: "In my opinion, the Imperial Navy's dispatch this time is only related to the purpose of our trip...... If they are ready to attack, I will carry the night tomahawk to scuttle their ship!"

Chang Sheng's face changed: "Lao Lu, this is too dangerous, if you go, you won't be able to retreat!"

Lao Lu said in a deep voice: "For the sake of our long-term plan, if it really comes to that day, you promise me not to stop me!"

The muscles on Chang Sheng's face twitched, and he finally gritted his teeth and said categorically: "Okay!"

Lao Lu stretched out his hand: "High-five as an oath!"

Chang Sheng also stretched out his hand: "High-five as an oath!"

The two of them slapped violently, and suddenly clenched tightly together!

At that moment, these two people were by no means like sea treasurers who worked hard for money, born and died, but like two well-trained soldiers who intersected with life and death.

Zhu Yi looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise: "Old Lu, Second Brother Chang, ...... are you?"

Lao Lu turned his head and patted his chubby body: "Fatty, you entered the industry late, no better than me and Second Brother Chang, it is a friendship that has passed through the battlefield...... However, you have also followed us, and we will not treat you as an outsider," Speaking of this, Chang Sheng coughed, and Lao Lu turned his head: "When I have time in the future, I will tell you about our affairs in detail." ”

Zhu Yi nodded, and his fat face was full of excitement: "I know that Brother Lu and Second Brother Chang are people who do great things, different from ordinary Taobao customers, knowing the two elder brothers is my Zhu Yi's blessing, please accept the worship of the younger brother!"

knelt down on the ground at the moment, and kowtowed respectfully to Lao Lu and Zhu Yi three times.

Chang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Third brother, don't be careful, there are some secrets that Lao Lu and I refuse to tell you, but I'm afraid that saying it will drag you down, and ...... in the future There's always a chance to say it!"

Zhu Yi hurriedly said: "Zhu Yi understands! Big brother and second brother, please rest assured!"

For several days in a row, Lao Lu and Chang Sheng often stood at the stern of the ship, paying close attention to the movements of the Green Eyebrow ship.

But the Green Eyebrow ship followed from a distance, always keeping a distance of more than ten feet from their ship, neither approaching nor lagging behind.

"It seems that maybe I'm thinking too much," Lao Lu put down the telescope one day and said, "That green-eyed ship may just want to use us as a pathfinder to open the way for them." ”

"Even so, the Imperial Army is also a wolf ambition, intending to dominate the sea and compete with the Sea Emperor for sea territory, if this is the case," Chang Sheng said, "Let's take advantage of the contradiction between the Sea Emperor and them......"

"It's not that simple," Lao Lu shook his head: "The green eyebrow ship of the imperial army dares to openly sail to the deep sea, it must be afraid of the power of the Sea Emperor, and will not openly provoke the hegemony of the sea, what kind of medicine are they selling in the gourd, in my opinion, let's take one step at a time." ”

"It's fine. Chang Sheng nodded, and sighed again: "It's a pity that Wei Xiao didn't wake up, otherwise, I heard that person is a military genius, when he was the general of Tiance in the country of phantoms, he repeatedly defeated the Zhenyuan Army, one of the three major armies of the empire,—— if he is here, he should be able to help us analyze and discuss countermeasures." ”

Lao Lu also sighed: "Now we are alone, the speed of the demon clan's action is indeed unexpected, we can't resist hard, we have to outsmart the enemy!"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Lao Lu glanced at Chang Sheng, and the two of them stopped talking, only to see several sailors running towards the bow of the ship from the stern of the ship, and said in their mouths: "Strange!

Chang Sheng didn't realize it, Lao Lu was suddenly startled, and said, "It's strange!"

Chang Sheng said: "What's strange?"

Lao Lu said: "Didn't you notice that the ship stopped?"

Chang Sheng was stunned, and when he saw the Daji boat stopped at sea, drifting quietly with the current, he couldn't help but say: "Then let's hurry over and see, what's going on?"

The two men quickened their pace and walked behind several sailors to the bow of the ship.

At this time, there was already a circle of people around the bow of the boat, and the ones standing at the front were actually Jiang Laojiao and Mo Guiyun.

Mo Guiyun spread out a roll of fish skin scrolls in his hand, and was standing on the bow of the boat, pointing and pointing ahead with Jiang Laojiao.

Lao Lu separated the crowd, stepped forward, and said, "What happened?"

When Jiang Lao Turtle saw that it was him, his eyes immediately became a little more eager, and he immediately said: "Our ship has been here for a few days, but we can't see the shadow of the Starlight Four Seasons Island." ”

Lao Lu said: "Is this the place?

Jiang Lao Turtle said: "I asked Mo Guiyun to help me look at the map for a long time, and I am sure that this is the right place!"

Lao Lu's eyes probed to the map in Mo Guiyun's hand: "I'll take a look." ”

He looked around the map with his hand in ink, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Look at the direction marked here, it's right here!"

On the Fishskin Scroll, under the southeast corner, there is a small dot, and further south, there is a slightly larger dot.

Mo Guiyun pointed his finger at the small dot: "Look, this is the Weiming Island we passed through a few days ago," and his finger swiped down, pointing at the slightly larger dot: "Go south downstream, it should be Starlight Four Seasons Island." ”

"But we are now about sixty kilometers away from Weiming Island, and it stands to reason that even if we don't get there, we should be able to see Starlight Four Seasons Island, but isn't it strange that there is no shadow of the island on this sea?"

Lao Lu looked at the map, compared the distance with his fingers, estimated the length in his heart, and then looked up at the unobstructed sea, there was nothing in the sky and the sea except for their lonely boat, and he couldn't help but be at a loss in his heart, and blurted out: "Strange, strange!"

Jian Qi said beside him: "Isn't this ancient map wrongly marked?"

Zhu Yi also said: "Or is this ancient map different from the current proportions, in fact, Starlight Four Seasons Island is farther away from here?"

Everyone was gossiping, and Jiang Lao Turtle said categorically: "It is impossible to make a mistake on this map." ”

Zhu Yiqi said: "Why?"

Jiang Laoqiu hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "This map was given to me by Sister Xiao Ye." ”

As soon as he said this, others didn't know it, but Jian Qi suddenly held his stomach and laughed, and while laughing, he shouted at the cabin: "White girl, white girl, come out quickly! Uncle Turtle is talking about his romantic history again!"

Bai Qianyu was playing with Clover and Little Fox in the room, and when he heard the shouting outside, he told the two of them: "Take good care of your brother Wei Xiao, I'll go out!"

The little fox nodded obediently, but Clover pouted: "I want to leave the two of us to go out to play by ourselves!"

Bai Qianyu stretched out his finger and flicked it on its blade head: "Young poor mouth!" ”

"Okay. Shamrock touched her head.

Bai Qianyu hurriedly walked out, and as soon as they met, before Jian Qi could speak, he poked him with his finger: "You can grow a little longer! Sister Xiao Ye is not here now, you are still smiling!"

Jian Qi suddenly stopped laughing, and glanced at Jiang Lao Turtle with some embarrassment.

Jiang Lao's face was still normal, and he didn't lose his temper, but said: "Yeats is the princess of the merman clan, in order to prevent me from getting lost at sea, she gave me this ancient navigation chart that their merman clan has inherited for thousands of years. ”

Except for Jian Qi and Bai Qianyu, everyone present had never heard of the story of Jiang Lao Turtle and Sister Xiao Ye, and Zhu Yi couldn't help but be a little curious: "Uncle Old Turtle, how did you know the princess of the shark clan?"

Jiang Lao Turtle was stunned, his wrinkled old face turned red, and he was a little speechless.

Mo Guiyun observed the words, but he was very considerate and diverted the topic for him: "Since this ancient map is handed down by the merman tribe, and the merman tribe has lived on the deep seabed for generations, then there will definitely be no mistake. ”

Holding the map and looking into the distance: "According to the direction indicated on the map, the place ahead where there should be Starlight Four Hours Island is a sea of water, only ...... Only," his voice paused, his eyes narrowed, "there's a reef?"

He picked up the map again and compared it carefully: "Could it be that the map itself is not wrong, but the starry island has sunk, and only some edges and corners are exposed on the sea?"

Bai Qianyu stepped forward, took the map and looked at it, and said, "What are some small dots around this island?"

Mo Guiyun followed her finger and said, "That's just a little ink blot that the person who drew the map inadvertently left on the fish skin roll!"

Bai Qianyu said curiously: "If the ink is smudged, it is usually only two or three points, how can I see how many small spots around this small island?"

Mo Guiyun followed her words and looked carefully at the map again, and suddenly lost his voice: "Those small dots...... I'm afraid it's the reef that surrounds the island!"

He raised his head again, compared the small dots on the map with the reef beach in front of him several times, and finally said: "That's right, the direction and location are correct, those small dots are big and small, and they are completely consistent with those large and small reefs!"

As soon as he said this, everyone gathered around, leaned over to look at the map, and looked at the reef in the distance in front of him for a long time, and all nodded: "Yes!

"But since the reef around the island is there, why is the island gone?" said Lao Lu with a frown.

"Maybe ......" Zhu Yi turned his brain desperately: "Is the island sinking?"

"The island has sunk, and the reefs surrounding the island will inevitably be affected," Lao Lu said, "but these reefs are obviously not the same as thousands of years ago, so the island should not have undergone such a great change." Moreover, the 'daylight and starlight' we heard about before came from this island, and if the island has sunk, where will that treasure be placed?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt several eyes around him brush over, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Chang Sheng stabbed Lao Lu with his elbow.

Lao Lu coughed dryly and said, "It's okay." The matter of the daylight starlight is no secret for a long time, everyone must have heard about it for a long time, and all of you on the ship are willing to risk your lives to go deep into this uncertain sea area, most of you are afraid that you are only coming for this 'daylight starlight', before the 'daylight starlight' appears, you are still friends, you can work together to find its location. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces relaxed, and Ning Wuyu, who had been silent, was the first to smile and said: "Lao Lu, I appreciate your open and honest temper the most, it is very much to my liking, I have made a friend of yours!"

Lao Lu smiled, but Zhu Yi rolled his eyes: "Master Ningzhuang, I heard that you love money like your life, and you even have friends, I don't want my old brother Lu to be your friend!"

Ning Wuyu was rarely embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said, "That's not what I said. Lao Lu didn't say it well just now, before the 'Daylight Starlight' was found, we were all friends. ”

Chang Sheng nodded: "This 'daylight starlight' can reflect the light of stars in the white sky, shining thousands of miles, because of this, this news has been spread for a month, but no one has been able to find it." It seems that it must be extremely hidden, and the people on this ship are all extraordinary people, so we should all work together!"

As soon as he said this, several people nodded their heads one after another.

Only Jian Qi pursed his lips: "In my opinion, as long as my eldest brother Wei doesn't wake up, even ten people will not be able to find it!"

He didn't expect that his words would become a prophecy.
