On the vast sea, the "Yushan" that Liu Jin was riding on was chopping through the waves. The crew members on the ship were using telescopes to look for traces of the ship everywhere on the sea.
As for Liu Jin, he was restless at this time. He didn't know how many times he scolded Zhu Houzhao for daring to secretly go out to hunt whales. He just wanted to take his own life. Don't implicate other people. He would have to die.
Die in the palace.
"Teacher, let's have something to eat."
Liu Jin's cheap student Tong Yuan came over with a bowl of noodles and said.
"I have no appetite."
Liu Jin shook his head and said, he really had no appetite.
At this time in the past, Liu Jin would still be sleeping happily under the covers, but now, not long after it gets dark, Liu Jin, who can't sleep, has already gotten up.
I didn't sleep all night last night. My mind was full of thoughts about Zhu Houzhao. I was worried that if something happened to Zhu Houzhao, I would definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
"Teacher, please eat as much as you can. Your Highness is the True Dragon Emperor. He has the blessing of the gods. Nothing will happen to him."
Tong Yuan looked at Liu Jin. He had rarely seen Liu Jin so sad and had trouble sleeping and eating. After thinking about it, he said.
"Alas~"
Liu Jin sighed, took the bowl, took a few bites, found it tasteless, and quickly put it down.
"There's a boat ahead~ There's a boat ahead."
At this time, on the mast, the person in charge of the lookout said excitedly.
"Is it the Kunpeng?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked quickly.
"Can't see clearly yet~"
"Keep looking clearly."
Liu Jin hurried to the bow of the ship, took a telescope from Tong Yuan and looked ahead. He could vaguely see a large ship moving slowly in the sea.
"It's the Kunpeng, and there's a big whale beside its side!"
Soon, as the distance between the two parties got closer and closer, through the telescope, he could clearly see the big belly-up whale next to the side of the ship of the 'Kunpeng', which made Liu Jin overjoyed.
"That's it, get close to it immediately."
Liu Jin let out a heavy sigh of relief. When he saw the big whale and the 'Kunpeng', Liu Jin knew that Zhu Houzhao was definitely fine, and that was enough.
The distance between the two large ships was getting closer and closer, and everything on the other side's ship could be clearly seen with a telescope. Liu Jin suddenly found Zhu Houzhao on the deck of the 'Kunpeng'.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was also looking at the Yushan with a telescope. He seemed to have seen Liu Jin's figure. He kept gesticulating and pointed at the big whale next to the ship from time to time. He looked very proud.
"You naughty kid, I really want to give you a good spanking."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's heartless look, Liu Jin was really angry.
But there was no way. He was the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Even his teacher Yang Tinghe had no way to do anything about him. It is estimated that only Emperor Hongzhi could cure him.
He had a great time going out to sea to hunt whales, but for his safety, he couldn't eat or sleep, so he went out to sea to find him himself.
The boats got closer and closer, and soon, the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters. They could see clearly without a telescope, and they could even yell at each other with their throats.
"Old Liu~Old Liu~"
When Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jin, he couldn't help waving and shouting on the deck.
"Have you seen this whale? Yesterday I shot it with one shot. Its name is the Great Whale General. Am I awesome?"
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's excited look. Although he heard his words clearly, Liu Jin, who was feeling unhappy, still pretended not to hear clearly and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
"To your satisfaction, I just didn't hear it."
Liu Jin could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.
"Old Liu, are you calling me old?"
"Even at such a close distance, I shouted so loudly, but he still couldn't hear me."
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and was a little disappointed. Old Liu didn't even hear what he said.
But soon, when the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, Zhu Houzhao shouted again: "Old Liu, have you seen this big whale? I shot it with one shot yesterday. Am I good?"
"
"I didn't hear what you said clearly."
Liu Jin continued to pretend not to hear.
"...He is definitely faking it."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said to Liu Jin beside him: "You bitch, your voice is shrill. If you say what I just said a few times, my throat will hurt from shouting."
"Yes, sir~"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin quickly replied, then cleared his throat and shouted in a sharp voice.
As soon as he shouted, Captain Tian Boyi, Peng Yi and others on board the Kunpeng suddenly felt goosebumps. How could this big man's voice be so sharp and terrifying?
"I heard it, I heard it."
This time, Liu Jin did not continue to pretend not to hear, but replied very calmly.
"Why is this Liu Jin not as smart as you, and he doesn't know how to flatter me?"
Seeing Liu Jin's very plain look, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but kick Liu Jin. They also had the surname Liu. Why is there such a big gap?
Liu Jin naturally looked aggrieved. He was provoking someone. If Liu Jin doesn't flatter you, why don't you kick Liu Jin? What does it mean to kick me?
But he didn't dare to show it when he was angry. He had no choice but to end up with such a master.
Soon the distance between the two ships became closer and closer. They also communicated with each other using semaphores and learned some information about each other.
"This Zhu Houzhao is really brave. He dares to hunt such a big whale. This whale is probably eighty feet long. Whales as big as this are really rare."
After roughly knowing some information, Liu Jin couldn't help but sweat over Zhu Houzhao's recklessness.
Forget about hunting whales, choose a smaller one. Why choose the largest whale? Fortunately, the whale ship is still strong, otherwise it would be really doomed.
The 'Yushan' turned around and slowly came to the side of the 'Kunpeng'. There was only a dozen meters between them, so they could shout in the air.
"Old Liu, I must be awesome. I shot this big whale with one shot yesterday. I named it the Brave Big Whale General."
Zhu Houzhao was so excited that he still couldn't help showing off to Liu Jin again.
"Uh, awesome, awesome, you are really awesome."
Liu Jin helplessly complimented him, saying that as for the meaning of these words, Zhu Houzhao should understand it himself.
"Haha, of course, who am I? I'm just a whale, that's all."
Zhu Houzhao obviously did not hear Liu Jin's sarcasm, but instead raised his head and said proudly.
"Master Liu~"
Here, Tian Boyi, Peng Yi and others also recognized Liu Jin and quickly said hello to Liu Jin.
At the same time, he was also full of curiosity about the young man on his ship. Who was he? He actually called Liu Jin brothers, and even asked Liu Jin to come out all night to search for him. This shows that his identity is not simple.
"Probably the descendants of the princes and nobles in the capital."
"Fortunately, I didn't offend him~"
Tian Boyi wiped his forehead, then seemed to think of something, and his whole face suddenly turned pale.
"It's over. I'm definitely not satisfied with taking people on board the whaling ship without permission. It's a good thing that Mr. Liu can pay so much attention to him. Otherwise, I would really be doomed."
Tian Baiyi burst into tears all of a sudden. He didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive when he went back. He might not be able to be the captain again.
Liu Jin naturally had no time to pay attention to Tian Boyi and the others now. Zhu Houzhao was fine. Liu Jin's worried heart was relieved. He turned around and went back to the cabin immediately.
"Teacher, His Highness has been found. What are you going to do?"
Tong Yuan asked a little strangely.
"what?"
"Of course I'm going to bed. I didn't sleep all night last night and I'm exhausted now."
Liu Jin said without looking back that he was indeed too sleepy. He was so worried before that he couldn't sleep. Now that he relaxed, he felt very sleepy.
"Old Liu~Old Liu~"
Here, aboard the Kunpeng, Zhu Houzhao originally had a lot of things to say to Liu Jin, and he had already thought of how to brag about his bravery.
It's okay now. Liu Jin went back to the cabin directly and went to sleep. How could this be possible?
Liu Jin naturally didn't want to pay attention to him. No matter if he was a prince or something, he wanted to sleep first.
"This old Liu has quite a temper."
Seeing that Liu Jin went back to the cabin to sleep, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said with a smile.
The two ships met together and sailed slowly toward Tianjin Port.
Liu Jin had a good sleep in the cabin, and it was almost noon.
"Sleeping is the most comfortable. This kind of life without having to worry about others is the life that people should live."
Stretching slightly, Liu Jin touched his belly. Well, it's time to have a good meal and pay homage to his five internal organs temple.
After getting out of the cabin, feeling the gentle sea breeze and looking at the blue sky, it is a good day.
Looking at the 'Kunpeng' not far away, Liu Jin couldn't help but pout. This time he came out in a hurry, and it was to find someone to come out. This ship is not a yacht, it is specially used for fishing.
fishing boat.
"I must build myself a yacht in the future. Well, then I can marry three wives and four concubines, and find a good day to go out to sea for fun. It will be a good life."
Liu Jin thought about projects that would be affordable to wealthy people in future generations. Thinking about it, he suddenly became a little excited. There were sea, sunshine, blue sky, and white clouds, but there were no beauties in bikinis. It was such a pity.
"Teacher, you are awake and want to eat something. I will ask someone to prepare it."
At this time, Tong Yuan came over and said very carefully.
"Whatever, just make some noodles."
"By the way, let's see if there is a fishing rod on the boat. I want to go fishing later."
Liu Jin thought for a while and said.
"good."
Tong Yuan nodded and immediately asked someone to do it.
Soon, a bowl of hot noodles was served, and Liu Jin ate it with big mouthfuls, finishing it quickly.
I'm really hungry. I had no appetite in the morning and couldn't eat. I've been hungry until now, and even a bowl of noodles is delicious.
"Teacher, this is the fishing rod you want~"
After eating the noodles, Tong Yuan actually found a pair of fishing rods on the boat. This made Liu Jin feel better immediately. He quickly asked people to prepare bait and started fishing comfortably in the sea while basking in the sun.
On the other side of the 'Kunpeng', Zhu Houzhao was looking at Liu Jin with a telescope.
"Old Liu really knows how to enjoy life. He actually went fishing in the sea. Are the fish in this sea so easy to catch?"
Zhu Houzhao also thought the same thing when he looked at Liu Jin who was enjoying fishing.
Then he looked at the big whale he shot and said immediately: "What's the point of fishing with a fishing rod? If you want to fish, you have to catch a big whale. A real man should go hunting whales. What the hell is this?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but despise Liu Jin. He, Zhu Houzhao, was a real man who went out to sea to hunt whales, but Liu Jin was actually fishing on the sea with a small dried fish.
Without comparison, there would be no harm, and without comparison, there would be no pride and pride. At this time, Zhu Houzhao was full of contempt for Liu Jin.
"What the young master said is that the young master is extremely brave. As for Liu Jin, he is naturally far inferior to the young master."
Liu Jin nodded and flattered him repeatedly.
"Hmm~hmm~"
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, he still enjoyed Liu Jin's flattery.
Time passed slowly, and the two ships were getting closer and closer to the Tianjin port. By the afternoon, around three o'clock in the afternoon, the two ships returned to the Tianjin port very smoothly.
The huge whale returned to the port, which naturally caused a huge sensation immediately. Before the ship heard about it, the entire port became extremely lively again.
People who had not seen the big whale the day before yesterday kept coming after hearing the news, and the entire port was crowded. At the same time, there were still people who were savoring the smell of the whale and thinking of coming back to buy some whale meat or whale oil.
Moreover, the businessmen doing business at the Tianjin Port were extremely excited, eagerly waiting for the whale to arrive at the port, waving their money to snatch it away. Some powerful businessmen were even thinking about whether they could directly take over the whole whale.
Buy all the whales, and then slowly divide and sell them.
"Haha, Lao Liu, look at the crowd here at the port. Does it look like they are welcoming a hero back in triumph?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the bustling port and couldn't help but said to Liu Jin.
"It's quite similar."
Liu Jin looked at the crowds of people at the port. Everyone seemed to be waiting anxiously.
"What are you going to do as a whale?"
After thinking about it, Liu Jin also asked.
"Of course I brought it back to the capital. I plan to give it as a gift to my father and queen, so that they can see this behemoth in the sea."
Zhu Houzhao replied without thinking.
"But your whale is really big. It's not easy to transport it to the capital."
Liu Jin looked at the big whale, thought for a while and said.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Lao Liu, you can definitely come up with a good solution."
