Gongsun Hao was the most annoying to wait for others.
The leader had agreed with him that the meeting would take place on September 15th, so he asked the crew to work harder and arrive at the agreed sea area one day in advance.
However, after waiting for two days, it was already the 16th and no one was seen.
"Even if they don't get on the boat until the 15th, after two days, the distance is less than two thousand meters. Even a dog can row this far!"
Gongsun Hao stood on the deck, looking in the direction of the coast and complaining angrily.
You want to weigh the old man up?
Gongsun Hao smiled. He was also an "old man" in his early forties, so who could be polite to him?
"If you wait one more day, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet, so I won't wait any longer and let him walk on his own!" Gongsun Hao said impatiently.
Doctor Li was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand and a straw hat on his head to protect him from the sun. He smiled and reassured:
"Don't worry, Master. Maybe we were delayed on the road. At worst, we will have another day of fishing. It just so happens that the boys have a rest."
The power of the sailboat mainly relies on human power. Gongsun Hao's anger dissipated a lot when he thought of the strong young men stepping on the oars.
"Old Li, you are in good shape. You are getting better and better as you follow us back and forth on the sea." Gongsun Hao joked.
He walked to the bow of the boat, picked up one of Dr. Li's fishing rods, and found a seat. He sat down and wondered if he could use a small hook to catch a big fish.
Doctor Li took out a box of fishing bait, signaled Gongsun Hao to hook the bait, and said cheerfully:
"The food on our ship is not good. Don't tell me, the cook from Xujiazhuang is really good at his craftsmanship."
This Gongsun Hao was so powerful that he patted his chest proudly, "I hired this chef from the Yuyang County Hotel. If I can't serve our brothers well, then all my money will be wasted."
!”
Human beings have a natural yearning for delicious food, and the two couldn't help but start chatting about steamed sea crabs, fried eels in sauce, cold fish fillets, etc., and they talked so much that they were drooling.
While we were chatting enthusiastically about catching two big fish today for the cook to stir-fry to satisfy our appetite, the crew's shouts came from the observation tower.
"Captain, there is a ship approaching!"
Gongsun Hao raised his eyebrows and looked up at the observation tower together with Doctor Li.
Gongsun Hao asked lazily: "How many ships? How many people?"
The crewman on the observation tower opened the telescope, counted the numbers, and replied: "Two seven-meter boats, with twenty crew members and twelve passengers!"
Doctor Li kept the fishing rod in his hand, moved his butt slightly, stretched his neck and looked towards the coast, and smiled at Gongsun Hao:
"The person we were waiting for should have arrived, but we don't have to wait until tomorrow."
After saying that, seeing that Gongsun Hao still didn't get up, he asked curiously: "Why don't you go and respond?"
"Isn't it still a long way off? Don't worry, wait until I hook up a big fish first." Gongsun Hao grabbed another handful of bait and threw it directly into the sea.
Doctor Li shook his head helplessly, "You are still getting angry at your age. This is not an ordinary person. If the leader knows that you are so negligent..."
Before Doctor Li finished speaking, there was a bang beside him, and Gongsun Hao dropped his fishing rod and walked away with his arms akimbo.
He was so angry that he did not forget that there were many girls from the Xu family's army accompanying him on the ship.
These are Xu Yue's eyes and ears, so he can't control his temper.
"It makes sense that I'm late, I want to see what kind of arrogance this Sima family has!" Gongsun Hao cursed.
Looking at it now, it’s really not that simple.
He is in his early fifties, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a dark silk suit with dark pine wood patterns embroidered with silver thread on the bottom.
Wearing a black gold feather crown on his head, thick-soled deerskin boots on his feet, and an unmodified fox cloak draped over his shoulders, his furrowed face revealed the sternness of a superior.
Gongsun Hao was secretly glad that he was wearing cotton clothes personally gifted by the Goddess, otherwise, he would have almost lost to the competition!
What he represents now is not himself, but Xu Jiajun.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Hao straightened his back and stroked the creases on his clothes.
The small boat came to the side of the big ship, and the crew put down the boarding steps. Gongsun Hao stood on the deck and hugged his fists towards the majestic old man below.
The other party smiled slightly, his old fox-like eyes narrowed, and the sternness in his body instantly dissipated, turning him into an amiable elder.
With the support of two attendants, Sima Fang climbed onto the steps and came to the deck.
Among the remaining nine people, one is a close confidant and eight are personal guards with high martial arts skills.
A total of twelve people were brought to the deck by the pulley-turned pedals.
This kind of boarding method is also available in Yangzhou, which has developed waters, but this is the first time Sima Fang has experienced it, which is extra novel.
Maybe it was because Sima Yi had informed him of something in advance in the letter he sent home, and Sima Fang and his party had just the right amount of control.
Seeing that all twelve people were on board, he sent the crew members on the two boats back.
Watching the boat arrive at the shore, Gongsun Hao immediately ordered the boat to sail.
The big sailing ship started to move, and with the joint efforts of the crew, the huge sail was hoisted high. Taking advantage of the north wind, the sailing ship moved forward at a speed of six meters per second.
Sima Fang had seen big ships, but he had never seen a sailboat as big and fast as the one in front of him.
He stood on the deck and stared for a long time. It was not until Gongsun Hao came over that he withdrew his surprised gaze.
"Gongsun Hao has met Mr.
"Brother Gongsun, you're welcome!"
Sima Fang returned the salute, waved to his subordinates behind him, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"I heard that it's cold in the north, but now that it's autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder. These pieces of fine fox fur are just enough to sew a fur coat. Don't dislike it, brother."
"How can you dislike it? It's too late for Hao Huan to be happy. Thank you Brother Sima." Gongsun Hao accepted it unceremoniously.
At the first meeting, the atmosphere between the two parties was particularly harmonious.
However, when he was about to sit down at the table in the evening, Doctor Li came over and said mysteriously:
"I see that Mr. Sima has a rosy complexion, speaks with great energy, and his legs and feet are very flexible. He doesn't look like he suffers from headaches all year round."
Gongsun Hao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "But I just got closer and I did smell a bitter medicinal smell."
Dr. Li shook his head and said softly: This is my professional field and I am the best at it.
"If you are really sick, given your status as a Sima family, why don't you deserve a doctor to accompany you?"
Yes!
Gongsun Hao slapped his head, this is unscientific!
"So?" Doctor Li pointed to the crew mess hall in front, "There is a ghost~"
Gongsun Hao waved his hand to signal Doctor Li to go away, "What are you afraid of? The leader has long thought that he has a ghost. There are so many female soldiers on the ship, they are not afraid even if there is a ghost."
"Lao Li, you are busy with your business, I will greet them."
Even if there was really a ghost who boarded their Xu Jiajun's ship, he didn't believe that he could still turn the world upside down.
Gongsun Hao strode into the cabin. The layout here was almost exactly the same as that of the cafeteria of Xujiazhuang Upper School.
The only difference is that the tables and chairs on land are movable, while the objects on the ship are fixed with nails.
