Three days later, the first news to come was not that the warships in the Nine Cities of the Four Kingdoms had sunk, but that the hundreds of fish-skin men had returned, intact.
It cannot be considered intact, because all the fish skin suits they were wearing were thrown into the seabed that day.
Except for the loss of their clothes, nothing happened to any of them. Only a few people were slightly injured in the water. The injuries were not serious and were not life-threatening. They could be treated by military doctors.
Seeing that more than a hundred people had returned safely, everyone cheered, and Uncle Nine Emperors did not stop them.
Although he knows that this is a necessary sacrifice, he would be happy if he could avoid it. These more than a hundred people are also good in the water, and it is not easy to train such people.
Besides, he is also a human being. Although he is cold-blooded, he still has feelings for his own people. Seeing these people return safely, he is naturally happy, but he doesn't show it on his face.
As the supreme commander, he doesn't need to show too many emotions. He just needs these people to respect him, be afraid of him, and be able to complete the orders he gives without any compromise.
"It'll be good to come back." Feng Qingchen's high-spirited heart finally fell to the ground. These hundreds of people were fine, and she felt better.
"Yeah, just come back." Uncle Nine Emperors looked at the sinking warship in the distance, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Without the boat, the people on the island may never be able to return. This time, all the people from Shikoku and Kyushu were trapped here.
However, I wonder whether their trip will go smoothly and whether they can return home smoothly?
However, even if things don't go well, the whole army will not be wiped out like the Shikoku Nine Cities. After all, there are people from the Shikoku Nine Cities ahead of them to explore the road. With so many people, they can pave a road even with corpses.
Feng Qingchen knew that Uncle Jiuhuang was worried, so she didn't say much. She just stood beside him obediently and told Uncle Jiuhuang with practical actions that she was willing to face the wind and rain with him.
"Miss, Master Youge is awake." Shibaqi was in a good mood after seeing the fish-skin man back safely.
Although Jiuhuangshu didn't say it, they could also see that Jiuhuangshu was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world said. He was still very affectionate to his own people. As long as they were loyal, Jiuhuangshu and Feng Qing
Chen shouldn't be able to kill them and silence them.
Is You Ge awake?
Feng Qingchen smiled brightly: "Today is really a good day."
According to the intelligence from the navy, all the warships in the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities will surely sink to the bottom before dark today.
All the good news seems to be coming out today.
Feng Qingchen spoke to Uncle Nine Emperors and went to see Feng Li Youge.
Feng Li Youge's condition is very good, but she has been lying in bed for three days, is very hungry, and has little strength.
Feng Qingchen checked Feng Li Youge carefully and made sure that he had recovered. The only remaining injuries were external injuries and he should be nursed back to health.
"Have a good rest these days." Feng Qingchen packed his things and was about to leave, but was stopped by Feng Li Youge: "Aunt Qingchen, I heard them say that you and Uncle Nine Emperors are going to the island tomorrow? Me and I
You guys go together."
Although Feng Li Youge didn't know the strange people on the island, he could guess some of them. It was precisely because of his worry that he wanted to go together.
The Eighteenth Cavalry was not infected with any strange disease. It is understandable that Feng Qingchen would not let the Eighteenth Cavalry follow him, but he had suffered from the strange disease and recovered. Like Uncle Nine Emperors, he would not be infected with that strange disease again.
.
Feng Qingchen did not answer, but turned to look at Shibaqi, half-smiling but not smiling, and said, "You guys react quickly." If Shibaqi hadn't told him, how could Feng Li Youge have known about these things just after he woke up.
Shibaqi lowered his head and defended in a low voice: "Miss, we, we are just worried about you."
Feng Qingchen didn't let them go, and they were grateful. But it was precisely because of their gratitude that they were even more worried. Feng Qingchen was the master, how could they just watch their master take risks while they enjoyed the happiness in the rear?
"Using worry as a reason to leak military information? How did Sicheng teach you?" Feng Qingchen even said it to Sicheng, which showed that she was really angry.
The eighteen knights were so frightened that their expressions changed, and they knelt on the ground with a bang: "Miss, please forgive me, we have overstepped our bounds." How could they have forgotten the ethics of soldiers?
"Excuse me? I only know that if you make a mistake, you will be punished. There is no such thing as forgiveness. You will receive the punishment yourself after you go back." Although Feng Qingchen said it very seriously, he also revealed that he did not mean to take the life of the Eighteen Riders.
.
For a moment, the Eighteen Riders were both worried and happy. They were worried about punishment, but happy that they did not need to be silenced.
Feng Li Youge didn't dare to say anything. She waited until Feng Qingchen had punished the Eighteen Riders before she spoke carefully. However, she didn't want to be interrupted by Feng Qingchen as soon as she said a word: "In your current situation, you are with us.
Go to the island. Should you protect me, or should I take care of you? I don’t need to bring a burden out with me.”
Although Feng Qingchen's words were a bit harsh, they were not unreasonable.
Shibaqi and Fengli Youge made arrangements without authorization for her own good, but they didn't know what was truly good for her.
Years of life have made Feng Qingchen understand a truth. That is, it is the most unwise to interfere in other people's lives under the banner of being good to others.
Of course, except for Sun Sixing. Although Sixing was stubborn, he was only stubborn in his medical skills. At other times, he was a bit submissive.
In other words, there is a sense of resignation. If no arrangements are made for him, he may just drift with the crowd and live his life in confusion.
Feng Qingchen returned to the cabin, and Uncle Nine Emperors was already sitting there. He was still looking at the map of the island.
This map was very rough, and it was obvious at a glance that it was drawn temporarily. Feng Qingchen could understand it a little bit, but because the map was not precise, he could only roughly see the layout of the island.
"This island is not small at all." It is about the same size as Dongling City. It would be really difficult to walk on it just by legs.
Feng Qingchen somewhat understood why people from the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities had been on the island for several months and still had not come out.
In such a large place, it is not easy to find the entrance to any treasure.
"It's not small." Uncle Nine Emperors nodded in agreement: "Not only is it not small, it's also very dangerous. This is only a part of the map. No one has been able to draw the complete map."
Feng Qingchen knew that Uncle Nine Emperors had nails in the nine cities of Shikoku. This map must have been someone from Uncle Nine Emperors who sneaked into the island, took the opportunity to draw this map, and then sent it back.
"Besides the map, is there anything else?" Even if Feng Qingchen didn't receive any news from the island, he could still guess how dangerous it was.
This island is not small, but with the manpower of the Nine Cities of Shikoku, if we had not encountered great danger, we would have searched every corner of the island.
"Yes." Uncle Nine Emperors turned over the map and saw a few names written down on the map, namely: human-faced spider, half-mermaid, two-headed python, man-eating insect, guillotine, and the following ones
Something, but because the handwriting was too illegible, I couldn't understand it.
"What is this?" Feng Qingchen pointed to the last ball of ink and asked Uncle Nine Emperors.
Her intuition told her that this should be a very dangerous thing, otherwise the other party would not have sent the map back without having time to write it.
"I don't know." Uncle Nine Emperors answered simply, causing Feng Qingchen to look shocked: "You don't know?" What Feng Qingchen wanted to say more than anything else was: There is something you don't know.
Uncle Nine Emperors glanced at Feng Qingchen and looked up at the sky silently...
There was just such a ball of ink, why did Feng Qingchen think that he could see what it was?
He is also a human being. He and Feng Qingchen see the same things. Feng Qingchen can't see it, so why can he see it...
