Cui Zhaoquan stared at Qin Mao kneeling in front of him, hesitant.
Qin Mao is Qin Fengliang's son. Now Qin Fengliang and Qian Zhidong are shirking each other's responsibilities. It is not yet certain how to finalize the matter. If Qin Mao is used at this time, will Qian Zhidong feel...
And Qin Mao can really sacrifice his life without any selfishness?
The timing of the siren's appearance was so coincidental that Cui Zhaoquan couldn't help but wonder if it was coming for the official ship and just attacked the caravan first.
At this time, I heard someone say: "Your Majesty, the students are also willing to go."
"Nonsense!" The first person to react was not Cui Zhaoquan, but Supervisor Zhao, who was always there.
Supervisor Zhao looked at Su Ziji speechlessly, wanting to open his head to see if someone had poisoned him.
"Su Juren, our family knows that you are not a timid person, but this matter cannot be solved by you as a scholar. There are so many military attachés here, when will it be your turn to pass?"
Cui Zhaoquan waved his hand after hearing this: "If this thing doesn't happen, who else is willing to go?"
He looked around.
But what disappoints Cui Zhaoquan is that he, the Minister of War, brought some military attaches, but these military attaches hesitated for a moment at this moment.
No one asked for a fight.
In this case, if he pointed at someone casually, the other party would definitely not disobey. However, first Qin Mao took the initiative to ask for orders to fight, and then Su Ziji stepped forward. This contrast made Cui Zhaoquan feel a little uncomfortable. p>
Although everyone knows that they are fighting monsters, everyone has scruples, but this is the second best thing.
Qin Mao was a little anxious. As a son of a man, he took the initiative to ask for a fight in order to increase political bargaining chips for his father, and to show that the Qin family was not a coward and was not even afraid of dealing with monsters, let alone foreigners. However, it was obvious that the imperial envoy
The adults don't want to let him pass, is it because they don't trust themselves?
Phew! Bang!
While talking, the merchant ship in the distance set off fireworks again. At the same time, the ship shook, and the fluctuations of the sea surface could also be felt here. It was obvious that the giant snake was attacking again.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, the student is familiar with the properties of water and can protect himself. Please allow the student to go into battle with Captain Qin!"
At this time, Su Ziji spoke again.
Although this sentence was not stated clearly, Cui Zhaoquan's heart moved.
He admired Su Ziji quite a lot, and it was a pity that Su Ziji could not catch up with this test. Now that Su Ziji wants to fight, merits and deeds are also important. As he said, his water quality is very good. So this time, even if he goes to fight, he will win.
When there is danger, it is possible to escape.
Moreover, when Su Ziji said this, could it be that he saw that he was hesitant about Qin Mao and planned to serve as a supervisor in order to reassure himself?
Cui Zhaoquan raised his eyebrows when he met Su Ziji's eyes.
Interestingly, Su Ziji is not only amazing in his literary talent, but he also had unexpected insights in this area. If we give him convenience and let him make some contributions, he will definitely make a difference when he returns to Beijing.
Thinking about it this way, Cui Zhaoquan no longer intends to be such a "evil person".
If you ask for a fight once, it can be said to be a show, but if you ask for a fight a second time and make your words clear, it is no longer a show.
"In this case, I will allow you two to bring thirty heavy crossbows and a chariot crossbow, and lead the No. B ship to set out for rescue immediately, without any mistakes!"
"Students obey!"
"I obey!"
Su Ziji felt relieved, while Qin Mao felt happy.
"Master Cui..." Inspector Zhao frowned and was about to stop him.
However, Cui Zhaoquan stopped him directly. Cui Zhaoquan glanced at the chief eunuch lightly and said: "The military orders are like mountains. Once the generals have been assigned, it is difficult to change them, Eunuch Zhao."
Supervisor Zhao could only shut up bitterly, and looked at the back of Su Ziji who was heading towards the merchant ship on other ships, feeling a little helpless.
"Although Su Ju is talented, his character really makes our family troubled."
But at the same time I was distressed, I also vaguely felt that as someone of the blood of a prince, I should be so brave and fearless.
"As expected of the prince's bloodline, it's just different."
Glancing at the pale student Shao Sisen who had been shrinking in the crowd and not daring to speak for fear of being sent, Eunuch Zhao sighed.
However, no one noticed that a white shadow was sneaking in the water and followed it.
"No, not here!" Following Sun Buhan's rage, more than a dozen merchant ships a few miles away were severely damaged. There were many people swimming on the sea, and some corpses were floating, which was shocking to see.
"Ah! It's an official ship! The imperial envoy has sent someone to rescue me!" The people hiding on the surviving merchant ship saw five warships approaching, and finally regained some morale.
But the psychological shadow caused by the sea snake was so great that even if the official ship arrived, those who were hiding would not dare to come out immediately.
Qin Mao, who was on ship B, got closer and could clearly see the appearance of the sea monster.
When looking from a distance, he could only see the faintly huge snake head. It was only now that he could see the true form of the sea snake. Even he took a breath of air.
The soldiers beside me all looked pale.
Qin Mao reacted quickly and immediately suppressed his fear, waving his hand: "Heavy crossbow ready——"
There were five warships, each with six heavy crossbows. Su Ziji did not need to intervene. Following Qin Mao's command, they all pulled up their crossbows and aimed at the sea snake who was trying to attack the merchant ship.
"Shoot!" As Qin Mao's hand fell heavily, the small flags in the hands of several flag soldiers standing high also fell heavily at the same time.
This is the order!
"Puff!" For a moment, heavy arrows were shot at the sea snake like a rain. This was no ordinary bow and arrow. It did not hurt or itch when shot on the sea snake. The heavy crossbow shot a crossbow arrow that could penetrate the thick city gate.
But while shooting the arrow, Sun Buhan suddenly became aware of it.
"Boom", huge demonic power surged inside the sea snake, bringing huge power. The sea snake's tail twitched back and made a loud sound, setting off a huge wave.
"Puff puff puff" A crossbow arrow that can penetrate iron armor, after piercing the water waves, is hardly stronger than a bow and arrow, and only penetrates shallowly.
Even so, after being hit by more than ten crossbow arrows, the sea snake still screamed, instinctively sensing danger, it turned around and ran away.
In this case, one should agree with the instinct of the sea snake. It would be unwise to confront the heavy crossbows on the ship, not to mention that it is almost dawn. At dawn, if you confront the officers and soldiers head-on, your identity will not be preserved.
But Sun Buhan, who was on the sea snake, now focused his attention on one of the warships attacking the sea snake.
"This aura..." He squinted his eyes, and most of his anger because he didn't find the little fox disappeared at once: "I thought I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect you to be hiding here!" "After chasing for so long, this body can no longer hold on. In this case, let's just give up this body!" Sun Buhan coughed, and the hand covering his mouth oozed black blood: "Sea snake, come on, fight with all your strength.
Even if I risk your life, I will capsize that boat and help me seize the treasure."
"As long as you capture the treasure, everything will be worth it."
The violent demon power was conveyed down again and penetrated into the sea snake. This power was not great, but the sea snake's eyes lit up red, and it did not retreat but advanced, charging straight at it.
