Chapter 45 The blue sea is vast, and the wind and waves are long
Hearing Chen Meng introduce himself like this, Gu Changfeng smiled and said: "The 'sea merchant' or something is Lord Duwei exalting Gu, Gu is just a small seafarer who is begging for a living on the sea, and comes and goes in the wind and waves." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Gongfu and the others saw that this person was in his forties, with a square face, bright eyes, and bronze skin, as if he had experienced wind and sun all year round. The figure is tall and lofty, the hands and feet are thick, and there is a good martial arts faintly visible in the movements.
After listening to Gu Changfeng's words, Chen Meng immediately laughed, and then gave a detailed introduction to everyone.
It turned out that this ancient Changfeng ancestor lived in Taizhou in his last life, and his family was mainly engaged in maritime trade for several generations, accumulating a huge amount of furniture.
By Gu Changfeng's generation, the family business had become bigger and bigger, and he no longer needed to go out in person for the matter of going to sea for trade. But he was born with a love of sailing, and he knew everything about sailing at sea, and he did not spare a lot of money to build a car for himself, named "Changfeng".
Every time the Gu family fleet goes to sea, Gu Changfeng must personally command the "Changfeng" to accompany him. Over the years, he has accumulated a wealth of experience in seafaring, and there are countless seafarers along the southeast coast, but few can match it.
It turned out that although Chen Meng had been stationed in Taizhou for many years, he had never dealt with Gu Changfeng. Until a few years ago, Chen Meng led his troops to exterminate a small group of pirates, and the military rations in the rear were delayed for some reason. Seeing that the army was about to run out of food, it happened that Gu Changfeng Manor was nearby, so Chen Meng sent people to the door to ask for a batch of grain and grass to solve the urgent need.
Gu Changfeng has always been a light man and a good man, but after learning about this, he didn't say a word, and personally took people to send twenty trucks of grain and more than a dozen pigs and sheep to the barracks, and he was famous for these things to be Gu Someone's right to replace the people of Taizhou to sacrifice the army, and never wanted Chen Meng to repay.
With this intersection, Chen Meng and Gu Changfeng had a friendship, and later came back and forth several times and gradually became friends.
After introducing Gu Changfeng, Chen Meng introduced Li Gongfu and others to him, and then said: "Gu Ship Master, the old man sent someone to invite you to come to the barracks this time, but there is one thing that asks you for help. ”
Immediately, he told Li Gongfu and others about going to sea to find the lair of the snake demon sea prince.
When Gu Changfeng heard this, he said without hesitation: "The Lord of the 'Heavenly Punishment Division' to kill the demons is an act of immeasurable merit. Although Gu Mou does not have the ability to emulate you in doing this feat, it is already undesirable to be able to attach Zhu Ji Wei to do his best. Gu immediately ordered someone to clean up my 'Changfeng'. As long as Master Li gives an order, Gu will personally send you to sea!"
Chen Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Ancient ship owner, the old man's intention, you only need to choose one from the ancient family's fleet to go to sea, how can you work the ship owner to go out in person?"
Gu Changfeng said with a smile: "Since this matter is related to the demon eradication plan, Gu naturally wants to send the best sea ships and sailors, but Gu's 'Changfeng' is the best to do!"
Chen Meng saw that he was sincere, so he turned his head to look at Li Gongfu and said, "Brother Li, you see this matter......"
Li Gongfu hugged his fist towards Gu Changfeng and said: "It's hard to be gracious, the affection of the ancient ship owner, Li has remembered it in his heart!"
Now everyone stayed in the barracks for another night. Early the next morning, Li Gongfu and his entourage of six people flew in the waves with a pair of stainless steel shackles, and rushed to the wharf built by the Gu family in a bay with Gu Changfeng.
From a distance, I saw that there were more than 20 large and small sea boats on the side of the wharf, and Gu Changfeng, who was riding a horse with Li Gongfu, pointed ahead, and said with a proud smile: "Master Li, that is Gu's 'Changfeng' who is a son and a baby!"
Li Gongfu followed the direction of his finger and saw a big ship that stood out among the ships. From a distance, the length of the ship is about 20 zhang, the width is about 5 zhang, and the three masts of the tall trees on the ship are obviously the wooden hull that is often carefully maintained, shining in the morning light, revealing a thick and solid temperament. On the spacious deck, there are many figures running back and forth, looking busy.
"It's really a good ship!" Seeing the huge sea ship that can definitely be regarded as a "giant" in this era, Li Gongfu let out a heartfelt admiration.
Hearing the other party praise his love ship, Gu Changfeng was even happier than hearing the praise of his own beautiful words, and said with a smile: "Gu Mou has sent someone back last night to make the sailors on the 'Changfeng' ready, as long as we get on the ship, we can immediately sail to sea!"
Everyone rode the demonized horses conjured up by Li Gongfu with the "Phantom Beast Talisman", and when they ran, they were like wind and lightning, and they arrived at the edge of the dock in an instant.
After everyone got off the horse, Pang Ting and the other five people each made a trick to turn the horse they were riding into a small paper horse, beckoned to take it back and put it in their bags. Pang Ting and Li Gongfu have always had a friendship, and this "phantom beast talisman" had been obtained as early as when he was trained in the "secret camp", and he didn't know one of them. This time when he came out to carry out the mission, when Li Gongfu took out the "Phantom Beast Talisman" and transformed it into a mount for the other four people to ride, he had already said that he would give this talisman away, which made the four people respect him even more.
Li Gongfu waved his hand and collected the other three "Phantom Beast Talismans", two of which were put away, and the other one was sent to Gu Changfeng, and said with a smile: "This time, Li Mou has nothing to repay for the help of the Mongolian shipowner. This 'phantom beast talisman' is a gadget that Li Mou has nothing to do, so he gave it to the ancient ship owner to talk about his heart. ”
He just saw that Gu Changfeng seemed to be quite envious of this "Phantom Beast Talisman" just now, and he just used it as a personal favor.
Gu Changfeng acted quite heroically, and he really liked this thing in his heart, so he didn't act cowardly, he took it generously, and said with a smile: "So Gu is also disrespectful." ”
At this time, someone on the "Changfeng" had already come ashore, but it was a middle-aged man with a thin body and dark skin. After he saw Gu Changfeng, he bowed and said, "The villain Gu Cheng has seen the master. Since receiving your order last night, the villain has been overhauling the 'Long Wind' overnight and preparing food, vegetables and fresh water. Now everything is ready, and the wind direction is just right to go to sea, just wait for the master's order to anchor and sail!"
Gu Changfeng said with a smile: "Gu Cheng, you have always done things steadily, and the master is naturally at ease." We're on board, and you tell everyone to get ready!"
Na Gu Cheng agreed, turned around and ran quickly to the ship, opened his throat and shouted a few words, and the sailors on the deck took their places, just waiting for the master's order.
Gu Changfeng led Li Gongfu and his party to the deck at the bow of the ship, and then raised his hand and shouted: "Lift the anchor! Sail!"
"Raise the anchor, Raise the sail!" The sailors of the ship responded in unison, and when they boarded, some people turned the winch to pull up the thick and heavy anchor chains, and some people pulled up the white sails on three sides in turn. A gust of wind blew at this time, and the canvas swelled and tightened, turning the wind into a powerful force, driving the great ship lightly away from the bay and into the endless blue sea.
This situation and this scene are in line with the name of this ship, that is, the so-called: "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea." ”
