Looking at this situation, everyone on the merchant ship felt a sense of despair. Some people saw something was wrong and immediately encouraged: "Someone just set off fireworks, and we also set off fireworks to ask for help. Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, will not ignore us!"
After hearing these words, the people on the boat cheered up again and tried their best to escape or fight back. They were in a panic.
Originally in the Jiang family's merchant ship, the wild Taoist exhaled heavily, climbed onto the deck in a relaxed manner, found a relatively clean place, lay down, and looked up at the sky.
The night sky is gloomy with a few stars.
"Lu, Mr. Lu, the calamity, the calamity is hard, have you passed?" At this time, I heard a voice with chattering teeth and a familiar voice.
Looking sideways, he seemed to be familiar with Mr. Jiang's boat. He sat in a recessed area. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it. He couldn't help but smile: "Yes, the calamity has passed. I told you that you will have a good future."
.”
Mr. Jiang was still lying down. After a while, he saw that the sea snake was getting farther and farther away, so he raised his body and said, "Thank you for the blessings of the gods and ancestors."
"Mr. Lu, what you said is so true, so true!"
"Pillar, pillar!" He shouted twice, but no one answered. Jiang's joyful expression turned dull and he sighed heavily.
"Mr. Su, wake up!" Someone knocked on the door fiercely.
"who?"
When Su Ziji woke up, he found that he was no longer in the Dragon Palace, but in his cabin.
But the strange thing is that there seems to be a layer of barrier protecting myself and isolating myself in a space. The moment I wake up, the barrier disappears and I return to this world.
There was a refreshing fragrance filling the cabin, because the moment he opened his eyes, the golden olive disappeared immediately. Su Ziji had no idea what happened in the cabin during the time he "disappeared".
There was a commotion outside, and something seemed to have happened. Thinking of the changes in the Dragon Palace, Su Ziji was a little worried that it had something to do with him. He hurriedly boarded the deck, but did not notice a drunken fox lying on the floor, with its tail covering its body and its claws still
Holding it, purring continuously.
As soon as they went up, Su Ziji was slightly startled by the white sky in the distance.
"It's almost daylight already?"
"Is there something wrong with the merchant ship?" In the far distance, there are dots of light, which is a merchant ship a mile or two away. If you look carefully, you can see that there seems to be some huge shadow appearing in that direction.
Just when I was about to take a closer look, the team was walking over.
"Mr. Su, Master Shangshu wants you to go with Mr. Shao."
"Did something happen?" Su Ziji nodded, but couldn't help but ask in a low voice on the way.
Duan Zheng also went there with him. He had a good impression of Su Ziji. Besides, he had nothing to hide about it, so he just said it directly.
"The merchant ship encountered trouble and set off fireworks to ask for help."
But there was no difference between what he said and what he didn't say. Su Ziji saw that the team was afraid that they didn't know much, so he didn't ask any more questions, and then jumped on the imperial envoy's official ship. Shao Sisen also hurriedly arrived.
It was obvious that he had been woken up from a deep sleep. He didn't have time to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance. His hair was a little messy.
Su Ziji, on the other hand, seemed much more calm because he slept in an honest posture and practiced all night long.
Cui Zhaoquan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Superintendent Zhao were already gathered on his official ship. When they saw Su Ziji and Shao Sisen arriving, they did not say anything or call them over.
Su Ziji understood that calling them to the ship at this time was probably just to protect himself.
After all, once there is a real danger and it affects the official ship team, the ship where the imperial envoy is on is the safest.
"Ship B, go to the rescue!" In front of the military attachés above the team leader, Cui Zhaoquan, Minister of the Ministry of War, gave the order with a cold face.
But looking at the huge snake head that could be seen faintly from several miles away, Cui Zhaoquan felt a little unsure.
Even if they were sent to rescue people, they were actually more interested in saving people. They had no idea how to kill this sea monster.
The merchant ship would not have no weapons at all. It would have bows and arrows, but it still had to ask for help from the official ship, which meant that bows and arrows could not cause huge damage to the sea monster.
"Do you have any countermeasures to kill this sea monster?" Seeing that Inspector Zhao was silent and looked like he was the leader, Cui Zhaoquan knew that the other party would never interfere in this kind of matter.
He couldn't help but look at his people, including Su Ziji and Shao Sisen standing there.
Shao Sisen's mind was completely blank at the moment. He had already seen the terrifying sea monster. Looking at it from such a distance made him tremble with fear. If he didn't run away quickly, would he still move forward?
In his heart, he strongly disapproved of this kind of death. He felt that the sea snake could sweep down half the ship with just one swing of its tail, and there was no way human power could resist it.
"No, I can't think like that."
"Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both. One would sacrifice life for righteousness." Shao Sisen tried hard to calm himself down and think of a solution.
This is not to say that Brother Chu's performance in the battlefield is already good.
Su Ziji, who had experienced many battles and killed many people, did not panic much. He looked at it carefully, then took two steps forward and said: "Master Shangshu, when the students boarded the ship, they saw someone carrying
A batch of heavy crossbows are on board, this thing may be able to kill them."
"You have given me a heads-up!" Cui Zhaoquan was startled and then suddenly became happy.
How could he forget those treasures?
This time when he went to the southwest, in order to frighten or even defeat the foreigners, the emperor chartered a batch of heavy crossbows. Because these weapons were too powerful and expensive, they were installed on the ship and were not used at ordinary times. Cui Zhaoquan also
Couldn't think of it right away.
"This is indeed a good idea!" The imperial envoy looked at Su Ziji with admiration and said, "Heavy crossbows can shoot enemies on the city. We can also use ships as a city to shoot sea monsters."
Shao Sisen immediately lowered his head and felt annoyed. This was indeed a good idea. Why didn't he think of it just now?
Then I heard Cui Zhaoquan ask again: "Who has taken the order to go forward with a heavy crossbow to slay the demon?"
"Let's see if Su Ziji wants to show off his skills this time." Shao Sisen then thought. Unexpectedly, someone immediately shouted: "Sir, I'm willing to go!"
At this time, not only Shao Sisen, but also Supervisor Zhao, who had not intervened in the matter on the surface, heard the sound and looked over.
Then I saw a young man step forward and knelt down on one knee: "Everyone can kill these sea monsters. Although I have been dismissed from my post to take the blame, I am still a warrior. I am willing to go forward to slay the monsters. Please give me this opportunity."
!”
Su Ziji looked at this person. Even though he was not surprised to see the sea monster, he couldn't help but look sideways at this time. In fact, this person's identity should not be here.
"It turns out Qin Mao was also on the boat, and I didn't even notice it!"
Hearing that he was dismissed from his post and found guilty, he had another realization: "In any case, Qin Mao is a fugitive general, but the reality is not the same as in the drama. He was immediately cleared of suspicion and became a guest."
"Even if the accusation is true, those who disobey orders and flee the war zone will be severely punished."
"I'm afraid Qin Mao has been in solitary confinement and is taking the opportunity to come out now."
