Chapter 184

It was the captain who had asked to speed up before speaking. After the initial shock, the captain's face gradually showed an expression of joy and reverence.

"Sea King whale? You call this the king of the sea whale Looking at the huge whale that half of its body came out of the water and seemed to be piloted by the fleet, several people looked at each other.

No matter Gu Jieyun or Su Leyi, or Yu Tianxiang or Gu Qingcheng, they naturally know what the sea king whale is.

As the saying goes, deer can be seen in the forest, and whales can be seen in the sea. Most people think that this is just a beautiful wish. After all, if you meet deer in the dense mountain forest, you can find potable water, salt free of toxins, and even some rare medicinal materials. If you meet whales in the vast sea, it proves that there are no reefs in this sea area, and there will be no storm in the near future, It's safe.

But in fact, this sentence didn't refer to these at the beginning. The so-called deer in the forest and whale in the sea are seen. Deer refers to the nine color deer in the mountain forest, and whale refers to the king whale in the sea.

The sea king whale is a race that can keep pace with the deep-sea dragon race in the sea. Although it is not like the dragon race that can ascend, hide, fly and dive, as long as it is in the sea, the sea king whale's combat effectiveness is no less than that of the dragon race, and even above it in water control. What's more, the sea king whale is intelligent and kind-hearted. He often sends sea animals to guide people who are lost at sea. If it's a big fleet, he even goes out in person.

"This is the king of the sea whale." The captain nodded and said, "in order to avoid the sight of Tianxing, the fleet set out to drive eastward for more than 200 Li, and then turned south. The current position of the fleet is really far away from the land. Maybe the king whale thinks that they are lost in the sea, so it's time to pilot in person. "

"I see." Su Leyi and Gu Qingyun nodded. They had been trapped in bugui mountain for 12 years. Although they didn't like many sacred beasts like Lu que, they had seen many sacred beasts in bugui mountain, such as the nine color deer who brought them rice and wheat seeds, the Royal spirit beast who came to the village to look for Lu que from time to time, and the purple Phoenix Zhuo. Although it was a bit shocking to see the king whale's huge size of more than 100 meters, they soon recovered their mind.

"But we are going south to Nanhai county. We are not wandering in the sea looking for land. Is there any way to communicate with it and let it leave?" Su Leyi thought for a moment and asked.

Su Leyi knew that no matter where she was, it was a rare blessing to meet this kind of friendly beast. However, the number of their army was as high as 250000. They were going to land in Nanhai county and then attack Tianxing's weak defensive hinterland northward.

In the whole strategy of Lu que, this army accounts for a large proportion. It can be said that the later Tianxing war and the later Nanli war were all launched from the point of Fengxiang army, while the four legions in the north were only for the Fengxiang army to contain the main forces of the two countries, so that they could not go south to hinder the Fengxiang army from conquering cities and lands.

Because of this, Daqian sent out this fleet of unprecedented scale. This fleet dispatched most of the ships of Jinghai and Hanhai legions. It can even be said that the Terran had never sent such a large fleet out to sea in history, so this fleet could not make any mistakes, because once the Fengxiang army had an accident, Or if they did not enter Nanhai county within the prescribed time limit, then the Yulin and benlei armies now stationed in the north of Huangyan River, and the Fengfeng and Huxiao armies stationed in the north of Ning'an River, could only cross the river with their own forces.

In this way, even if Tianxing and Nanli can be annexed in the end, the four armies in southern Xinjiang will suffer heavy losses. In case the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang take advantage of Daqian's weakness to move southward, Daqian can only rely on the Tianhuo, Panshi and Longxiang armies to resist the attack from the grassland. In case the four passes in Northern Xinjiang are lost, the grassland cavalry will reach the North Bank of the blue river, Threat to Shangjing Yanyang city.

With the style of grassland people in Northern Xinjiang, the tragedy of Qingyang empire's going south in Northern Xinjiang's sixteen counties will even reappear. It's not only that every family has the pain of losing their children, but also that every family has the sound of howling and weeping. Even the whole Township and county will be slaughtered by alien people.

All the joint fulcrum lies in the Fengxiang army. Lu Que's strategy is that the four legions cross the river to contain the main forces of the two countries. However, the unexpected landing of the Fengxiang Legion from the south makes it impossible for the two countries to take both ends into consideration. It can be said that now, both the four legions in southern Xinjiang and the Ziji hall are waiting for the news of the Fengxiang army, Because this seemingly biased Army decided how much Daqian had to pay to destroy the two countries in the south.

But now there comes a sea king whale who thinks that his fleet is lost at sea and is still leading before the fleet. It's a bit of trouble. If they want to reach the land, they have to go west, but now they have to drive south for a few days. What if the sea king whale finds out that the fleet doesn't need their navigation? What if it gets angry, or what if it wants to stop the fleet from going south, We should know that the sea king whale is extremely disgusted with war. In the history of sea battles, there are records that the sea king whale sent the two countries' fleets away from the battlefield.

In Su Leyi's and Gu Jieyun's mind, the task of Fengxiang army is both heavy and light. It is said that the heavy task is because the whole Daqian is watching them, and the whole southern Xinjiang war situation is important to Fengxiang army. It is said that the light task is because as long as Fengxiang Army lands, Bingfeng will not encounter most resistance, but there is a prerequisite that they arrive at Nanhai county according to the agreed time.

"This ~" the captain scratched his head. He had been in the Jing Navy for nearly 15 years and spent most of his time at sea. However, this was the second time that he saw the sea king whale. The first time that he saw the big dry fleet to trade with the countries in the sea. They were escorted by warships. When they returned, they encountered a storm in the sea, just when the ship was about to be destroyed and people died, The king whale appeared and calmed down. The storm rescued them, but he didn't know how to communicate with the sea beast and let it leave.

"Send a message to the Heyang throne ship at once and ask him if there is anything he can do." Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi looked at each other and ordered.

"No, I'm going." The captain also knew that it should not be too late. As the supreme commander of the fleet, Heyang king wanted to command the whole fleet in the middle, so his warship was in the middle of the whole fleet. It was still a long way from their ship. Now it was dark. Although he had heard the sound of joy before, he probably didn't know what was going on.

"If only Lu were here." At this time, Gu Qingcheng looked at the back of the sea, just like the sea king whale the size of a hill, and suddenly said.

"Yes, if he was there, there might be some way." Listening to Gu Qingcheng's mention of Lu que, Gu Jieyun, Su Leyi and Yu Tianxiang all nodded deeply.

The three of them have witnessed Lu Que's friendship with many sacred beasts and spirit beasts in bugui mountain. First of all, the spirit beasts in Bafeng and shigu, who are almost inseparable from him, are also very friendly to him. The spirit monkeys in the mountain often send him some monkey wine, although they don't know why, But it can be confirmed that Lu que seems to have a natural quality that can make these spirit beasts and divine beasts look at each other differently. As long as he is in these heaven and earth, the Holy Spirit will not be his enemy. I don't know why, but it's true.

If Lu is on the boat at this time, he must have a way to communicate with the king whale. But now Lu is thousands of miles away in the capital, even if he starts at this time, it's too late.

Just after four people were thinking about how to leave the beast in the sea, the captain left school soon came back and said, "Princess highness, Gu Jun Shuai, Su Shi Shi, Gu Shuai, I have already told the king of the situation with the letter hawk, presumably the king will soon be decisive."

"I see. If Uncle Huang gets back, let us know as soon as possible." Yu Tianxiang waved his hand to let him back, and said, "let's wait for the news from Uncle Huang."

Among the four, Yu Tianxiang and Gu Qingcheng went to sea for the first time, while Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi were not very familiar with the affairs of the sea. Now we can only count on the Heyang king, who loved the sea since childhood, and asked to leave the imperial capital to garrison the sea after adulthood.

Standing in the bow of the ship, the four men were speechless, thinking about how to solve the problem in front of them. However, they never thought of attacking the king of the sea whale in front of them. The king of the sea whale is a divine beast in the sea. Although this is not necessarily the level of the beast in front of them, in the vast sea, even if the whole fleet is involved, it is not the opponent of the king of the sea whale who can control the power of the sea, It can be seen from its name that it is the king in the vast sea. Except for the Dragon tribe, which has never appeared since ancient times, no living creature can threaten its position as the sea overlord.

"This king whale doesn't seem to lead us to the mainland. It's always going south. Does it know where we're going?" After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Qingcheng suddenly said.

She stayed with Lu que for several months and learned something from him, that is, if she can't find a solution for the time being, she will put it down first. She will only let herself into a maze. She knows that she can't solve the problem in front of her. When she deals with such a beast, she either has extraordinary accomplishments like the emperors of ancient times, or has a far more extraordinary affinity like Lu que, Otherwise, it is difficult to communicate effectively with the divine beasts, because they not only have transcendent wisdom, but also look at problems in a completely different way from human beings, and do not necessarily think from the standpoint of human beings.

So Gu Qingcheng always looked up at the starry sky on the sea. The reason why she stayed on the deck was to see what was different from the starry sky on the sea except waiting for the white jackdaw. But she found that the fleet was still going south along the original route, and the king whale didn't seem to lead them back to shore.

"That's true. Where does it want to take me?" Su Leyi looked up at the stars. As a military commander of Fengxiang army, she had the most basic knowledge to use the stars to determine the direction. She found that Gu Qingcheng was right. The fleet was really going south,

"Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~" just at this time, there was a slow and slow bell behind. The bell reverberated in the deep sea of the silent night, just like the morning bell and evening drum of the Buddhist temple.

"Hoo ~" when they heard the low bell, they were relieved at the same time. Although they didn't know much about the meaning of the flags, lights and bells of the fleet on the sea, they could hear that there was no smoke in the bell. Obviously, in the eyes of the king of Heyang, this was no big deal. He should have a solution.

After a while, a small boat broke the waves from the fleet and came to the side of several people's boats. A figure rose from the boat like an eagle and landed on the boat.

"I've seen the Lord."

"Tianxiang has seen uncle Huang."

When several people saw the visitor, they rushed forward to see him.

"Lord, why are you here?" Gu Jieyun asked in surprise, knowing that there were more than 2000 ships in this fleet, which could not be seen at sea. Therefore, Yu Yuangao, who was supposed to be in front of Jing naval commander, had been in the middle of the fleet, commanding the whole fleet to move forward, which was not close to their huge ship.

"I'm afraid you won't worry, so I came here specially." Yu Yuangao goes to the bow of the boat and looks at the king of the sea whale in front of him by the starlight.

"Uncle Huang, where will this sea king whale take us?" Yu Tianxiang asked.

"In front of us is an island with a radius of 100 li. There is edible fresh water on the island. According to our current speed, we should arrive there before tomorrow afternoon. I think it is to take us to that island." Yu Yuangao thought about it and said.

Su Leyi took out a chart from her sleeve and looked at it carefully by the light of the boat. But she didn't find the island mentioned by Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang. She was puzzled and said, "Lord, we have been away from Daqian sea for some time, and there is no sign on the chart that there is an island ahead. How does the Lord know?"

"This ~" Yu Yuangao rubbed his hands and looked around. Then he said, "I used to be here when I was bored."

"What?"

They all looked at each other. It was a long way away from Daqian. Even without such a large fleet, it would take more than half a month for the light boat to rush. The king of Heyang actually said that he was the commander of the army guarding Daqian's sea area and controlled all the ships and warships of the Jing Navy. How could he have the chance to come so far away from Daqian without the emperor's command, and several people knew that, Throughout the Hongxi Dynasty, except for trading with the east sea state, Emperor Yu Yuanxu never ordered the navy to go south to explore the territory.

"I was very bored a few years ago. I once came here. That time I went around the Wanghai cliff of Tianxing and sailed all the way south to Dongfang harbor. Otherwise, why do you think I chose this sea route to go south?" Yu Yuangao said with indifference.

Gu Jieyun, Su Leyi and Gu Qingcheng all look at Yu Tianxiang. According to Yu Yuangao, he started from Daqian a few years ago and made a detour to the south. After passing Tianxing, he turned west and finally arrived at Nanli. This time, it took at least half a year. But there was no news from the imperial capital. There were only two possibilities. One was that the emperor knew about it, But it was suppressed. The other thing is that even the Emperor didn't know about it. Then it's a little terrible.

Yu Yuangao, the commander of the Jing Navy, left Daqian for half a year, but the Emperor didn't get any news. Apart from leaving his post without permission, there was only one explanation. King Heyang's control of the Jing Navy had reached an appalling level. He was the prince of the royal family and the commander in chief of the army. What did he want to do with his deliberate control of the army? You know, when the emperor first ascended the throne, the rebellion of King Dongping broke out, and King Dongping was the third brother of King Heyang.

The reason why the three men looked at Yu Tianxiang was to see if yu Tianxiang knew about it or the emperor knew about it. If the Emperor didn't know about it, it would be serious.

Yu Tianxiang naturally understood the three men's intentions and said with a smile, "I didn't know about this until I left Beijing. In recent years, my father has been preparing for the capture of the two countries in the South and the three countries in the grassland. Uncle Huang has gone to sea secretly for many times. Not only the channel to the south, but also the channel to the North has been found by Uncle Wang, This time, even if Lu que didn't mention it, his father would send out the navy to cooperate, but he might not bring the Fengxiang army. "

Three people smell speech to see to Heyang King Yu Yuan Gao's vision all changed, Qi Qi arched hand to say "Wang Ye Gao Yi."

If you want to explore the safe channel secretly, you can't take most ships with you. Otherwise, it's too eye-catching. However, there are countless risks in the vast sea. The reefs and undercurrents on the bottom of the sea, the strong winds and rainstorms on the sea, and the supplies in a strange sea area all lead to the destruction of ships and the death of people. It can be seen that the king of Heyang has suffered a lot for this channel in recent years.

"It's nothing. Conquering the vast sea was originally the ambition of my youth, and the sea is beautiful. The sky is high and the sea is wide. I live much easier than you." Yu Yuangao smiles and shakes his head. He is a broad-minded man. If he really wants to be an easy Lord in the capital, he can't stand it. Besides, he doesn't want to join in the complicated court situation. For him, this sea is the value of his life.

"What the LORD said is that the sea is really much more relaxed than the emperor. I feel a lot better these days, even the bottleneck is a little loose." Su Leyi said with a smile.

"Lord, how do you know that this sea king whale is going to take us to that island?" Gu Jieyun asked.

"It's not the first time I've seen it, and it's not the first time I've seen it piloted the fleet." Yu Yuangao's eyes showed a look of memory. "Although I don't know why, as long as there is a fleet close to this sea area, it will appear and take the fleet to that island. I have been there several times before."

"Lord, is there any secret hidden on the island, so it will take the passing fleet there, or what help it needs?" Gu Qingcheng is very sensitive to this kind of thing. He immediately thinks whether there is any secret hidden on the island. Otherwise, as a god beast, Haiwang whale has no reason to take the passing fleet there.

"I don't know about this book. I've been to that island, but I didn't find anything unusual. There are mountains and lakes on the island, where fresh water can be drunk. There are edible wild fruit mushrooms in the mountains and forests. There are only some common animals on the island, such as pikas and snakes. I haven't even seen any big animals. Anyway, I don't see any secrets hidden inside. But if you are interested in going to the island tomorrow, we will know that in the original plan, we have to repair there for half a day to replenish some fresh water, and we will start the day after tomorrow morning. "
