Chapter 736: Expedition
Stepping on the frost and ice under his feet, Wu Yan let out a big breath of white air, tightened the white fox around his neck, and strode towards the dock.
Walking to the dock, there was a slaughter in all directions, Shui Congyue was wearing white armor, carrying a halberd, and watched the last son walk onto the boat.
Today is the day of the expedition, and according to the plan, Shui Congyue will set off ahead of schedule with the main force of the Fearless Army Naval Division and the ships of the Shi family. They will sail from Hengmen Port to Xujing Island, drop Xue Xinbu, and then turn to Beizhou Yingguo after a little resupply there. Xiushu.com
"Have a nice trip." Wu Gen smiled and walked in front of Shui Congyue.
"Well, be careful along the way." Shui Congyue nodded, turned around and prepared to get on the boat.
Wu Gen stepped forward with lightning speed, hugged the water from the moon, and quickly separated.
Shui Congyue's body stiffened, glared at Wu Yan fiercely, and strode onto the boat.
The fleet gradually sailed towards the open sea, the wind blew the clothes and waved his hand gently, Wu Yan felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Shui Congyue didn't need to work so hard, he had a prominent family in Beizhou, countless glory, and countless beautiful women admired, but he gave up everything and followed himself to fight here to live and die.
Every time he needed to divide his troops, Shui Congyue led the lonely *** to fight in all directions, and he was also the most reassuring general for Wu Gan. With such a close friend who sacrificed his life, how could he not make Wu Gen feel gratified. In this life, I have lost everything, and it is enough to have such a few brothers.
"You say, he'll come back safely." Ji Yan's voice fluttered in the wind.
Looking at Ji Yan, who was looking at Ji Yan in the distance and her face was a little pale, Wu Yan suddenly softened for no reason, "Yes, it will, because I still have to accompany you to his house." I can't go there, I'm your mother's family."
"Huh?" Ji Yan turned her head, her little face was a little surprised, and she suddenly reacted, and her face suddenly became as red as the morning sun, "What are you talking nonsense?"
As she spoke, Ji Yan turned around in a little panic and walked towards the port. It's just that the clothes that are as light as a butterfly reveal her mood at this time.
Wu Yan smiled slightly, swept away the worries of Fang Cai, and his mood suddenly became comfortable. How much beauty can a woman have, waiting for so many years. This time, he is really ready to be Ji Yan's mother's family, whether Shui Congyue wants it or not.
Ten days later, Wu Gen boarded the Dangshen, Yu Feng was already waiting on the deck, this time he went out with Wu Gan, Zhuo Ke had already sailed with the water from the moon on the vast rising sea.
"Everything is ready." Wu asked as he walked.
"That's it." Zhang Wuyang replied after him.
"Quasi-people have arrived." Wu Gen then asked.
"Under water." Zhang Wuyang pointed to his feet.
"Let's go." Wu Jian did not swear an oath with great fanfare, and turned around and went to the cabin on the fifth floor. When they entered the cabin, An Dang and Yuan Xin were already waiting in it.
Wu Gan's partial division had a total of fifty ships, of which only five were the dreadnought, and the ships were equipped with a formation to increase the speed. The rest are the warships of the Hulan family and the Ji country, which are led by An Dang and Yuan Xin.
"Lord Wu Zhai." An Dang took the lead in giving a salute, and Yuan Xin also smiled and arched his hand. These two people are acquaintances, and Wu Gen will not be polite to them.
"The old rule, drink three bowls of wine first, and go." Wu Yan sat down on the handsome chair covered with white tiger skin and shouted loudly.
With a long horn, the sails slowly rose, and the fleet left Hengmen Port and sailed along the course in the direction of Yingke Island.
The sea was so calm that there were no birds or fish to be seen, and it seemed that the winter cold had hidden all life in the dull gray clouds of the sky.
This route has been traveled many times, but this time Wu Gen has a different mind. If this trip is successful, he will also move to Beizhou, leave behind this huge family business, and walk the way home shorter.
The fleet docked at Yingke Island, where it was to stay for a day to replenish.
Gu Yangsi was already waiting by the dock, followed by Zou Ning and Gao Jing. Gao Jing was arranged here by Wu Gan, assisting Guyang Sijing to welcome the guest island. As for Zou Ning, since Yingke Island was the first stop on his way to Hengmen Port, Yang Zheng asked him to stay here to find out the news of Tianyuan Continent. But it's been a long time
, Gu Yangsi found that he had quite an opinion on both military and political matters, so he simply wanted to come to his side to help him.
Wu Gen stepped forward and patted Gao Jing's shoulder, and whispered a few words. Ning Nanlian put his brother and sister in his hands, but Wu Jian regarded Gao Jing and Gao Han as his own brother and sister.
Gao Jing bowed his head again and again, compared with the past, he is much more mature, and the taste of youth is gradually fading.
"Zou Ning, I'm still used to living here." Wu Yan smiled and said to Zou Ning on the side.
"Thank you for saving your life, I'm quite at ease here." Zou Ning took a step back and bowed for a long time.
Wu Gen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, grabbed his hand and said, "Although my Dreadnought Army is not as rich as Zou Guo, it is better to be free and easy, and make the best use of people, if you need anything, just talk to Gu Yangsi."
"My subordinates understand." Zou Ning looked at Wu Gan's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
After a few more words, Wu Ganfang let go of his hand and led people towards the island.
"The long wind sent the general thousands of miles, the weather was cold, and a glass of turbid wine saw off the owner of the village, and this trip was a big victory." In Gu Yangsi's private house on Yingke Island, his people raised their wine glasses. Wu Gen and Gu Yangsi sat opposite each other, while Yang Zheng and Hu Jia accompanied them.
On the square table in front of him, there was a basin of hot water, and a pot of wine was warm in it. The azure spout of the pot is steaming hot. There are only a few simple dishes on the table, nothing more than green vegetables and tofu, pickled fish and beef, and the like.
"Okay, just to warm up." Wu Jian raised the steaming wine glass in front of him and drank it all, "When I first met the ancient brother, it was from the wine, and today I saw the wine again, and I borrowed your auspicious words."
Yang Zheng and Hu Jia glanced at each other and raised their glasses. Along the way, Wu Gen was a little strange, and they all felt his anxiety.
"After this battle, the owner of the village should be ready to return to Beizhou." Gu Yangsi looked at Wu Yan with a smile.
"That's right, it's just to take advantage of the opportunity for the Divine Sect to regroup its forces and wave the North Continent." Wu Jian poured a glass of wine for each of the three people in front of him, they were all his right-hand men, "I think so, but in a war, there are wins and losses, in case someone brings it back, you still need to be careful here on Yingke Island."
"Before leaving, have you ever asked Bu Qiyin to test the good luck of this trip?" Gu Yangsi sensitively noticed that Wu Gan's mood was a little low, and asked with concern.
"I'm not Lu Lie, and I have to ask a wizard for divination before the war. If this is the case, there will be no need to fight the battle in the world, and the auspicious battle will be fiercely retreated, and it will save a lot of lives." Wu Gen swallowed a sip of wine, and also divined the hexagram, and now when she saw Bu Qiyin, this woman was like crazy and wanted to curse herself, for fear that Wu Gen would take her son crookedly. I don't want to think about it, just her Shinto appearance, she helps take care of Ye Xi for the sake of the child's good, and she has some popularity.
"If it happens, Yang Si is willing to go with him." Gu Yangsi raised his glass with both hands again, the surface of the cup was level with his forehead, and the slightly rippling wine was like his beautiful eyebrows.
Wu Yan was slightly stunned and pointed outside, "This is also very important, it is the outpost of my Dreadnought Army in Kuntianzhou."
"The island is too small, and the heart is a little big." Gu Yangsi still stubbornly held the wine glass.
"Understood, if it goes well, I'll take you to Beizhou to play." Wu Gen laughed and raised his glass, touched the other party, raised his head and drank it all.
After a day, the fleet set sail.
Wu Qian stood on the terrace, holding the hilt of his knife in one hand, looking out at the sea in front of him, and the big air behind him was blown by the wind and made a hula sound.
Hu Jia was worried, and glanced at Yang Zheng, who was the old god, and always felt that something was wrong. According to Wu Gan's temperament, he is not a person who likes to show off and pretend, he has always been low-key on the battlefield, and today he is so flamboyant for some reason, nailed to the highest place like a flag.
There is only one explanation, he wants others to see, to see his face, to see his return.
Or this is also a choice in the heart, a choice to really cut off the back road, and give up the choice of Kuntianzhou's thriving life and facing a strong enemy.
In fact, in the eyes of discerning people, it is a bit of a haste to return to Beizhou now. Don't look at the dreadnought army, which now has nearly 300,000 horses, and can wrestle with a province, but without the secret permission of the Heavenly Temple, I am afraid that it would have been drowned in the siege of the shepherds.
What is 300,000 people for a continent, what can Shui Congyue and Wu Qian plan again, what is the land of the five roads, if you really want to destroy the dreadnought army, wave your hand, if not, wave your hand again.
But Wu Gan decided so much, the reason why he would march west at this time was because the city was about to be built, a large amount of food and ordnance were being transported to the city, countless bows and crossbows were being installed, and complex formations were being debugged.
The fleet stopped when it passed through the sea of blood, and Wu Yan was submerged in the sea for half a day. For half a day, the people on the boat only heard the faint sound of whales under the water, and the flying fish that were dormant in the sea jumped out of the water and walked happily, and they could see clusters of light flashing in the sea.
When Wu Qian returned to the sea, the sunken ships that were lurking in the sea floated up one after another, lined up in two long rows, as if the soldiers were greeting his general.
On the vast sea, these two rows of ship walls paved the road to death with a sky-high resentment. The fleet passed through the middle of the wreck, and everyone couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring when they looked at these strange ships with broken hulls, black gas, and large and small shells.
The dead ships and the people on board were their predecessors. The holes in the shipwreck's hull are the eyes of the dead predecessors, looking at these descendants and remembering their past.
Many of the people in the fleet had risen to and from the sea many times, but it was the first time they had witnessed so many shipwrecks, and looking at the walls of the ships that had been spreading for more than ten miles, the cold death intent was like a lead cloud hanging low in the sky, overwhelming people.
Wu Yan held the side of the ship with both hands, and looked around at these sunken ships, but he never saw the big black ship, the big ship that told him about Zhuoguang Mountain.
At the end of the flotilla, when the last ship passed over the wall, the wall collapsed, and the wreck sank into the sea again. When I got out of the sea of blood and looked back, the sea was empty.
Yuan Xin and An Dang's faces turned pale, looking at the man standing at the bow of the boat with an indifferent face, a little fear suddenly rose inexplicably in their hearts, and the arrogance that had risen from the lack of fearless soldiers and their families was gone.
How many secrets are hidden behind a person who even bows down to the undead. In the future, the Hulan family and the Ji country must have more respect for the dreadnought, otherwise, the two families will no longer be able to enter this sea.
Hu Jia rubbed his chest and looked at Yang Zheng suspiciously, but the latter spread his hands and looked like I didn't know.
No one dared to step forward to inquire about Wu Gan, and no one dared to disturb his contemplation.
The fleet continued to move forward, and in order not to be exposed, it did not go to the location of the Pearl Island, but sailed directly in the direction of Dingyimen.
Looking at the two black statues on the sea level that were getting bigger and bigger, Wu Gan's brows were furrowed more and more tightly.
"The owner of the village, the sea falcon ship has come to report that there are no Divine Sect warships under the Dingyi Gate." Yu Feng rushed up to the fifth floor and reported loudly.
