Chapter 301: Voyage
Yes......
When Xu Zun said his decision, the scene was surprised.
Everyone felt incomprehensible, and no one understood why Xu Zun insisted on sailing under such circumstances?
"Your Excellency...... This ......," said the leader of the soldiers, in deep distress, "is that something wrong?" ”
"What's wrong?" Xu Zun asked, "Didn't you say before, didn't you already have all the weapons, ammunition and supplies for this ship?" ”
"Yes," said the leader of the soldiers, "the equipment is about the same, but the people are ...... Isn't it right? ”
"People?" Xu Zun pretended to be confused, "What's wrong with people?" Aren't so many of you soldiers all sailors, can't you drive a boat? ”
"It can be opened, it can be opened!" The leader of the soldiers nodded, "But...... This is different from the original allocation! Some of them are not at sea.
"And ...... Sailors, helmsmen, turnsmen, men, and so on, all of them are not on board, and most importantly," said the leader of the soldiers, clapping his hands, "and the seamaster is not here!" ”
The so-called sea master is the captain of the ship.
"It's okay," Xu Zun pointed at Xiao Zhennan, "From now on, this Xiao Daxia is our sea master, and you will listen to his command in the future!" ”
This......
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Xiao Zhennan didn't know why, so he shrugged his shoulders again and again.
The soldiers all felt that Xu Zun was a little too casual.
But where do they know Xu Zun's thoughts, in Xu Zun's opinion, there is no more suitable opportunity to go to sea than this!
Because he can't trust the people he has arranged for him, he doesn't know how many ghosts are hidden inside.
If the ghost was sent by the Queen Mother, it might be better, but I am afraid that those who participated in the attack on the crown prince would inevitably make their trip to the East China Sea risky.
Fortunately, the guards on the ship are all their cronies, and the soldiers are all randomly selected, so they are naturally much safer.
In addition, what makes Xu Zun more confident is that Xiao Zhennan and his wife are not only familiar with the East China Sea, but also familiar with boating, so they have no worries.
However, the soldiers thought that Xu Zun was whimsical and a bit of child's play.
"My lord......" The leader of the soldiers was still pleading, "The East China Sea is thousands of miles away, and the wind and waves are dangerous, which is not a child's play!"
"Even if we can be replaced by sailors and other jobs, but soldiers are different from sailors after all, if they encounter a crisis and danger, they will put adults in danger, I hope you will think twice!"
"Don't worry," Xu Zun said calmly, "these...... Xiao Daxia will teach you! ”
"This ......"
Xiao Zhennan grinned, but obviously had no intention of refutating.
"But......" said the leader of the soldiers again, "this naval battle has consumed a lot of our ammunition, and if we encounter danger again in the East China Sea, I am afraid it will be ......."
"Enough!" Xu Zun finally became anxious, and shouted on the spot, "Let me ask you, is it that you yourself are not among the people who go to sea?" ”
"This ......" The leader of the soldiers did not speak, obviously being said by Xu Zun.
"You guys listen to me, this official's going to sea is not child's play, but a last resort," Xu Zun said, "The prince's attack is of great importance, and there is no room for delay."
"I tell you the truth, there are still spies between you and me, and their purpose is to prevent me from going to the East China Sea to find the prince, so I ......"
Xu Zun's words are very damaging, which means that whoever is obstructing will be considered an enemy spy.
You must know that it is the Great Xuan Prince who is missing, and if anyone is regarded as a spy, the consequences can be imagined.
"I know," Xu Zun said, "that there was an emergency in the sea this time, and everyone was not mentally prepared."
"So, don't worry," Xu Zun clenched his fists and said, "If everyone can work together to rescue the crown prince, then the queen mother will definitely reward everyone."
"I, Xu Zun, am also a temperamental person, if you treat me sincerely, I will also promise that I will not forget each of you, and I will definitely recommend you to enter the court as a general in the future, I Xu Mou will do what he says!"
Xu Zun had already said this, where did the soldiers dare to say anything, they immediately knelt down in front of Xu Zun, and swore to follow Xu Zun and let him be sent.
"Good!" Xu Zun said to the leader of the soldiers, "You go and treat the wounded now, tidy up the deck, gather the quantity of supplies, and prepare for the long voyage!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers were ordered to go and act immediately.
Xu Zun glanced at Huo Anu, and Huo Anu immediately understood, so he took a few guards with the soldiers.
Xu Zun naturally couldn't trust these soldiers, and was afraid that they would deliberately make some small moves, so he let Huo Anu stare at it.
"My lord," after the soldiers left, Xiao Zhennan came to Xu Zun and asked with a complicated expression, "So, I am the sea master of this ship?" ”
"Master Xiao Dahai," Xu Zun clenched his fists, "hard work!" You can rest assured that when the matter is completed, the promised gratuity will be doubled! ”
"Money is not important," Xiao Zhennan waved his hand and pointed to the burning Yongming City in the distance, "but what about Daxuan's side?" They don't know that, do they...... Don't you need to tell them? ”
Xiao Zhennan was completely reasonable, although they had already figured out why the Izumo Kingdom's Haikou was attacking Daigen, but the imperial court didn't know.
"It doesn't matter," however, Xu Zun said indifferently, "Knowing the truth or not knowing the truth, the result is not important to us." ”
"This ......" Xiao Zhennan pondered for a moment, and after comprehending something, his eyes when he looked at Xu Zun suddenly changed.
It turned out that Xu Zun was not worried about this, if the imperial court could figure out the ins and outs, then he would not be fooled.
But in other words, even if you are fooled, what can you do?
Just found an excellent excuse to send troops, and took the opportunity to destroy Izumo Province, so as to deter the East China Sea, and did not suffer a loss.
Perhaps, it will also help them to find the crown prince......
This mind......
Xiao Zhennan looked at Xu Zun in surprise, and admired Xu Zun more and more in his heart, but he didn't expect this person to have such foresight at such a young age.
"Xiao Daxia, oh no," Xu Zun arched his hand again, "Xiao Haishi, I will entrust this voyage to the East China Sea to you!" ”
"Lord Xu is welcome," Xiao Zhennan hurriedly said, "I will never shirk what I can do, and I will never do it."
"I just want to ask you one more question now," he asked, turning to the east, "which country in the East China Sea are we going to now?" ”
Indeed, this is the most important issue of the moment.
"I don't need to go to Izumo Country," Xu Zun already had a plan, and immediately said confidently, "I have seen the sea chart before, and the ten countries of the East China Sea are like a waning moon, starting from the nearest Izumo Kingdom, I just drew a semicircle back.
"And my Daxuan mission is visiting in this order.
"If we go to Linghua or Bixian Country now, it will undoubtedly delay the voyage, so ......," Xu Zun said, "Let's go the opposite way and reverse the visit route!" ”
"In that case......" Xiao Zhennan frowned slightly, "Our first stop is the Lemon Country in the southern part of the East China Sea?" ”
"Exactly!" Xu Zun nodded, "At least this can ensure that we don't take the wrong road!" ”
"Okay!" Xiao Zhennan nodded, "Then the first stop is to go to Lemon!" ”
Although Xiao Zhennan agreed with Xu Zun's suggestion, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face when he mentioned the word "lemon......
