Like the setting sun of blood, like the rays of fire, the heaven and earth are swallowed up bit by bit from far to near. The red sunset makes the picturesque mountains and rivers more charming.
On the official road.
Everyone galloped on horseback. Anyone who didn't know their identity would think that Emperor Chu and his party were knights wielding swords all over the world.
Since leaving the tea shed, Emperor Chu has been feeling depressed. No one dared to investigate the reason, so they could only follow him.
Emperor Chu read through the letter left by Hanshuangqing. It was indeed Han Bingluo's own handwriting. He could feel the deep worry between the lines.
At the same time, he learned that the people who attacked him in Tomb King City had a relationship with each other in the past, and Emperor Chu's memory of Su Chen was very clear.
He clearly felt that Han Bingluo was in trouble, but he didn't mention it in his heart, only reminding him to be wary of Su Chen.
"Su Chen of Excalibur Villa?"
Emperor Chu had long said that one day, he would definitely defeat him and completely make Shenjian Villa surrender.
After browsing the letter, Emperor Chu put it into the dragon ring. Han Bingluo was a special existence in his mind.
Some people say that the more you don't get, the more you get. That's exactly what Hanbingluo is to him. Regarding Su Chen's contempt and Tomb King City's disdain, he secretly vowed in his heart that one day, he will not only get Hanbingluo
At the same time, Su Chen and Tomb King City must all surrender to the Chu State.
The war horses galloped all the way. Ten days passed in a flash, and Emperor Chu and his party finally arrived outside Yongjiang City.
Yongjiang City is built near the sea. It is towering and majestic. It is close to the city gate. The breeze is mixed with the strong smell of sea water, and the sound of rough waves crashing on the shore can be vaguely heard.
Before Emperor Chu arrived at Yongjiang City, Zhao Yun had already gone to inform Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang, who were waiting at the gate of the city.
Seeing a group of people coming on horseback, generals Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang stepped forward quickly. Emperor Chu and several others reined in their horses and stood up, flying off their horses.
"The last generals (Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang) pay homage to the Emperor!"
"You two dear ones, please come back quickly!"
Raising his hands to help the two men up, Emperor Chu asked again: "Gong Jin, Yuan Jing, how is the training of Yongjiang City's navy?"
"Back to the emperor, the soldiers have been training day and night and have made rapid progress. They are all able to go to sea to meet the enemy."
"Zhou Yu's dragon boat forging is in the final stages these days. When the dragon boat can be launched, my emperor will be able to witness the glory of Wu Chu's navy with his own eyes."
"The emperor and his two empresses have come after a long journey, and the ministers have prepared a banquet to welcome the emperor."
Zhou Yu looked respectful, and a loud voice sounded. Emperor Chu glanced at Diao Chan and Chen Yuanyuan sideways, and said: "Chan'er and Yuanyuan, you two are playing in the city first. I'd better go to Zhou Yu's place to see the progress of the dragon boat forging."
"As for catching the wind and washing away the dust, when the dragon boat is successfully launched, I will personally host a banquet to reward you all!"
Yongjiang City was guarded by Generals Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang. Emperor Chu was not worried about the safety of Diao Chan and Chen Yuanyuan. The two were busy traveling and arrived in Yongjiang today just in time for them to appreciate the coastal city.
The Emperor of Chu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu, Ran Min, Li Yuanba, and Zhao Yun walked towards the place where the dragon boat was forged under the leadership of Zhou Yu.
Entering Yongjiang City, the long street is crowded with people and bustling with activity. There are all kinds of underwater creatures wherever you pass, and the cries of the people are endless.
“What a prosperous coastal city!”
Obviously after entering Yongjiang City, the heat of the scorching sun disappeared, and the breeze blew, making it extremely refreshing.
Everyone looked around curiously, taking in the scenery of the city. There were so many strange and strange things that none of the generals had ever seen.
Even if Emperor Chu traveled through time, he would not recognize many of the seafood sold by the people on both sides of the long street.
Pearls, agate, and all kinds of strange stones are so ingenious that people are overwhelmed.
Under the introduction of Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang, Emperor Chu and his party finally arrived at the dragon boat forging workshop an hour later.
Zhou Yu is a dragon boat forger, and all the designs are made by him alone. Yongjiang City is a coastal city, and there are many people in the city who know how to forge ships.
Together with Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang, they will post notices in other cities and hire ship forges at high prices. At this moment, all the forging masters from the Chu Kingdom have gathered in the Dragon Boat Workshop.
Entering the square, you will see a ship several feet high. The hull is covered with carvings, including green dragons, white tigers, red birds, and black and white dragons. They are so lifelike that they make people feel awe.
When the busy Zhou Yu learned that Emperor Chu and his party had arrived, he put down what he was doing and hurried forward.
"Weak minister Zhou Yu, pay homage to the Emperor!"
"Zhou Yu, there's no need to be polite, tell me the progress of the dragon boat!"
When Emperor Chu saw the ingenious and magnificent dragon boat, he couldn't help but admire Zhou Yu. He could actually forge such a domineering ship in just a few months. He had to admit that Yu Ren's accomplishments in shipbuilding were really amazing.
tongue.
"Back to the emperor, this dragon boat is more than two feet high. It is divided into four floors, including the main hall, the inner hall, and the east and west halls. There are more than a hundred rooms in total. This boat is specially built for our emperor."
"In addition, the fighting ships are relatively smaller, only about ten feet long. There are now fifteen ships, each of which can accommodate three thousand soldiers. There are repeating crossbows and catapults on both sides and at the front. This ship is sailing on the sea.
, once an enemy ship is discovered, the power of all siege equipment during the attack will not be reduced at all."
"The warship has not been named yet, but I hope my emperor can give it a name!"
"name?"
Emperor Chu looked at the warship in front of him and saw that it was shaped like a fish, with wings on both sides. The light in his eyes flashed, and a powerful voice sounded.
"Blackwing!"
"Wuchu's first warship is called Black Wing, which means that they are like having wings and can swim on the East China Sea."
"Blackwing?"
"This name is so domineering and majestic that it makes people awe-inspiring!"
Zhou Yu recited silently, a light of excitement flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the name given by Emperor Chu.
"Black Wings, a warship with wings!"
Zhou Yu murmured as he led everyone into the cabin. Everyone was amazed and full of admiration for the weak Zhou Yu.
Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Ran Min, and Li Yuanba were really specialized in their crafts. Let them attack the city and seize the territory, and they would be absolutely invincible. But they really didn't know anything about forging ships.
"Master Zhou, this ship is so huge that even Yuanba cannot shake it. How will you launch the ship into the water?"
Li Yuanba put his palms on the hull of the boat with a puzzled expression and asked in a puzzled voice.
"General Li is really good at joking. There are hundreds of tons in a black wing. How can the general alone be able to shake it?"
"When the ship is launched, there are tens of thousands of trackers in the city. They are enough to transport Black Wing into the water. But the dragon boat is hundreds of tons. It is indeed difficult to launch it!"
Zhou Yu explained, but his face was still full of sadness. During this period, he had been thinking about how to transport the dragon boat underwater.
After hearing what the two men said, Emperor Chu glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang, who was thoughtful, chuckled, and asked: "Kong Ming, do you have any good ideas?" (To be continued)
