Chapter 306: Boat
The rocket rushed into the sky, flashed by, and knowing that the flames were gone, everyone was stunned that they didn't see the boat gang.
This......
Everyone was dumbfounded, if this behemoth in front of them was really a ship, then this ship ...... How big!?
Is it twice as big as the ship he is on? Twice?
The sea fog was still thick, and in the thick fog, the behemoth loomed, but it added to the deep sense of oppression, as if it was about to fall at any moment.
No wonder Xu Zun couldn't help but hold his head with his hands when he saw it just now.
"How so?" Huo Anu's eyes widened in shock, he had never seen such a strange scene in his life.
At this moment, Xiao Zhennan stood in front of the behemoth, lowered his head to measure the distance, and muttered: "This thing is still five zhang away from the ship, and it is located on the right side of the ship......"
He pondered something carefully, and after a moment asked the sailor, "How much does the anchor go down?" ”
"About ten zhang!" Below there are sailors answered.
"So......" Xiao Zhennan said, "can the ship pass?" ”
"Xianggong," Han Fei'er couldn't help but say, "The situation is unclear, so don't rush in, okay?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Xiao Zhennan frowned, looking at the behemoth in front of him, if this thing is really a ship, then it means that there is an unknown danger here, and it is indeed not suitable to go deeper.
So, he came to Xu Zun and said, "Lord Xu, look at ......"
However, Xu Zun still looked at the behemoth in a daze, After hearing Xiao Zhennan's question, Xu Zun asked intently:
"Captain Xiao, is there such a big ship in the world?"
"Yes!" Who knows, Han Fei'er grabbed the conversation and said, "In this world, I'm afraid that only I, Daxuan, can build such a huge sea ship!" Yes? ”
In an instant, Xiao Zhennan and his wife understood what Xu Zun meant.
"It flashed just now," Xu Zun said, "how do I feel...... Does this look like a new ship? ”
Yes......
When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked.
Xu Zun's meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was both a great and a giant ship, and it was new, so it was difficult to ...... It was the ship of the Prince's Mission!?
Gee......
Xu Zun finally turned his head, looked at Wu Yubao and the others, and asked, "When the prince's envoy went to sea, did you all see it?" What boat are they on? ”
"Prince...... The crown prince ......" Wu Yubao looked at his men, as if he didn't know much either.
"Yes, yes!" At this time, one of the sailors remembered something, "The prince is on the Tianfu battleship, and the ship is high...... High...... Fifteen zhang, right? ”
Oh......
There was a shout of surprise from the deck, and everyone was shocked and excited.
If this ship is the Tianfu ship that the prince is riding, does that mean that they will be able to find the prince soon?
As long as they find the crown prince, they will be able to return to the sea, and they will also be able to get high-ranking officials......
"Shangguan Min," Xu Zun raised his hand and said, "One more arrow!" ”
Shangguan Min immediately bent his bow and arrows, and another rocket rose into the air.
This time, everyone's eyes widened, for fear that they would not see clearly.
Where the fire passed, the huge side of the ship appeared again, this is indeed an ocean-going giant!
However, everyone also saw that the huge hull was tilted and tilted outward, and they didn't know whether it was stranded or hit hard.
"Hey," Zhao Yu asked the soldier, "Do you see clearly?" Is it the prince's ship? ”
"This ......" the soldier was in a dilemma, "my lord...... How can I say for sure? ”
Indeed, because of the dense fog, when the rocket reaches a certain height, it is drowned in the thick fog, and even the boat gang can't see it, how can it be recognized?
"So be it!" Xu Zun discussed with Shangguan Min, "Put down the boat, let's go down and explore!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Zhennan seems to have this intention.
Now that I have seen the big ship, it is naturally impossible to give up on this, and we must find out no matter what.
Next, the sailors began to lower the boat, and Xu Zun began to arrange the expedition manpower.
There are two boats, which can seat a total of 12 people.
First of all, Xu Zun must go in person, the stakes are very high, and he cannot be neglected.
Secondly, Xiao Zhennan must stay behind, and the captain must be left on the ship.
In the end, Ku Niang, Ani, and Huo Anu must follow to ensure their combat effectiveness.
"My lord, it's okay, just let me follow!"
Zhao Yu saw Xu Zun dumping himself and knew that it was for his good, because Zhao Yu was not used to water.
"Nope."
Xu Zun glanced at him, which meant that there must be a reliable person on the ship in case something changed.
Seeing that Xu Zun had made up his mind, Zhao Yu stopped making a sound.
"I'll go!" At this time, Han Fei'er took the initiative to ask, "In case you meet a local, it's good to have an interpreter!" ”
"This ......"
Actually, Xu Zun originally wanted to take her with him, because Han Fei'er was experienced.
It's just that I don't know if Xiao Zhennan agrees?
As a result, Xiao Zhennan was the first to nod and said, "I think so too!" ”
Terrible!
Xu Zun secretly gave a thumbs up, if a husband like Xiao Zhennan was put in modern times, he would have to be worth one hundred and forty big mouths to whip him.
Among the guards, Xu Zun chose the desperate Saburo Dai Long and the good shooting Shangguan Min, as well as the other two.
The sailors arranged two more rowers on their side, and the last one, Xu Zun asked to bring the captive who could speak the Great Xuan dialect.
Bringing this person is also because he is from the East China Sea, and he may be able to understand some information that others don't know.
After the manpower was arranged, the expedition members were fully armed and boarded in small boats.
As the sailors lowered the cables, they descended above the sea.
The sea is still calm, as if this is not the sea, but some secluded lake.
After the boat settled, Ani couldn't help but reach out and scoop a handful of seawater, and found that the sea water was cold and nothing abnormal.
The sailor took the oars and rowed the boat towards the behemoth on the right side of the ship.
When they were under the behemoth, where they could reach out, everyone reached out and stroked it.
One touch, excited again.
This is indeed a wooden ship's side, which means that this thing in front of you is a deep-sea giant! And it is very likely that it is the one that Prince Li Xun is riding.
Such a huge battleship completely shocked Xu Zun's cognition.
He had learned the story of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and he also knew that Zheng He's sea ship was very large, and he could run horses on the deck.
But he had no idea how big it was.
Now it seems that if this giant ship is ridden by Prince Daxuan, it shows how developed Daxuan's shipbuilding industry is.
"Your Excellency is right," Han Fei'er touched the plank of the ship's side with her hand, "This ship is indeed a new ship, but I don't know why it fell here......
Right!
After Han Fei'er's reminder, Xu Zun thought of something important, no matter whether this ship was a Tianfu ship that the prince was riding on, but he had to know why it sank here?
So, everyone rowed the boat, groped along the bottom of the huge ship, and rowed for a long time to find the bow.
Through the angle of the bow, you can see that the giant ship is tilting inward at 60 degrees, and it seems that there is a high possibility of hitting the reef.
After everyone circled the bow of the ship, they found that the huge ship was clinging to the cliff wall of the island and fell on one side of the cliff.
To put it this way......
Xu Zun began to ponder, feeling that this giant ship seemed to have hit the cliff wall, so it ran aground here.
Don't......
The giant ship was also because of the sea fog, and I didn't know that there was an island here, so it crashed?
Everyone watched for a long time, thinking about how to get on the ship and search.
But at this moment, Ani, who saw it, pointed to the opposite side of the giant ship and said, "Look...... There is light there!! ”
