Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The letter, when opened, did not reassure Chu Yanzhou; instead, it made him even angrier.

His dear younger brother actually said that he had discovered that the enemy had a brand new weapon and that he was going to go and find out.

In order not to let the soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain, he decided to go alone, and he repeatedly assured them that he would be safe.

Chu Yanzhou took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress his anger, and punched the pillar next to him.

Muttering to himself, "Nonsense!"

He felt deep regret. Why had he agreed to let his younger brother go to sea? Why couldn't he have kept an eye on him?

If Father and Mother knew about this, they would be very disappointed. He, as the elder brother, is so useless.

Several people in the hall knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

The two princes are very close brothers, and they are truly afraid that Prince Zhou will actually go to sea to find Prince Jin.

"Have you seen the new weapons on Chen Xiaowu's ship? Tell me what they look like."

Xiaoyu wouldn't go to Chen Xiaowu personally unless it was something exceptionally powerful.

Chu Yanzhou guessed that it must be a new weapon that could terrify the world, or that the new weapon would be fatal to their Nanzhou City.

Only in this way can it be explained that Xiaoyu was willing to go despite the danger.

The group gave a brief description of the warships they had seen, but due to their distance and the storm, they couldn't see them clearly.

"After His Highness Prince Jin saw it clearly, he ordered his subordinates to return to port. He was originally on the ship, but he did not know when he disembarked."

Chu Yanzhou still wanted to go and look for him. If all else failed, he would personally negotiate with Chen Xiaowu. That man was no good, and if his younger brother fell into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just then, hurried footsteps and a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "Report!"

The soldier entered, knelt down to pay his respects, and presented an urgent report:

"All the warships that came with General Weiyuan caught fire on the sea, and the ships were almost completely burned and sank. The entire army of Muchu was wiped out."

"what?"

The people present couldn't help but feel shocked. Chu Yanzhou's eyes widened, and he took two steps back in disbelief, almost falling over.

Fortunately, his personal bodyguards supported him, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Everyone on the ship, all of them, are gone?"

The soldier replied, "Yes."

Chu Yanzhou only knew that his younger brother was going to find Chen Xiaowu, which meant he must have secretly boarded those warships, so his younger brother... sacrificed himself?

"Chu Xudong, I will definitely kill you with my own hands."

Chu Yanzhou gritted his teeth, his fierce eyes were bloodshot, a few tears rolled down his cheeks, his hands were clenched into fists, and he wished he could go to the capital to kill people right now.

The others remained silent, but they thought the same thing.

Chu Xudong has been ruthless since childhood, and as he grew up, he didn't even spare his parents and siblings. This kind of beast deserves to go to hell.

That afternoon, Chu Yanzhou received a message from Kyoto.

According to information obtained by scouts, Chu Xudong's early research on gunpowder and firearms has yielded results, with a large amount of gunpowder being supplied to warships, presumably for use in attacking their Southern Zhou City.

Chu Xudong had harbored hostility towards the Chu Yanzhou brothers since childhood and had tried to kill Chu Yufeng several times, but fortunately Chu Yufeng was lucky enough to escape.

But this time...

Chu Yanzhou's face was covered with hatred. Chu Xudong had killed their father and mother, and now he had killed Chu Yufeng.

Chu Yanzhou and Chu Yufeng were sent out by the late emperor before his death, and Nanzhou City was Chu Yanzhou's fiefdom.

Chu Xudong's intention in attacking them was to kill them.

The princes in the capital have probably all been dealt with; now it's their turn.

The secret letter also said that the cannon could kill several or even a dozen people in an instant.

The musket, on the other hand, was a smaller weapon that could be used in the hand and killed someone in a very short time.

Even if the distance is a bit far, as long as you are hit by a musket, a bloody hole will immediately appear on your body, and you will bleed to death.

Even a general with years of training is no match for those muskets, let alone the fact that there is currently no way to counter them.

If they were to face those armies, Nan Zhou City would surely be defeated.

Chu Yanzhou felt a chill in his heart; it seemed that fate was not on the side of the Chu family.

He said to the others, "Continue to send people to find His Highness Prince Jin. We must see him alive or dead."

Chu Yanzhou spoke the last sentence softly, but everyone present heard it.

Although they don't know how to make firearms, they should still make some defensive weapons, just in case they come in handy.

The waves on the sea were visibly growing larger, and what had been a clear blue sky was now pouring rain.

The storm raged across the sea once again. Akahoshi emerged from the water, placed the seafood on the grass outside the tent, and then crawled directly into the tent.

This tent is fairly windproof. As he entered, he saw Shen Yu with a stern face, speaking in a commanding tone:

"You must dry yourself with a towel before going to bed."

Akahoshi took the dry cloth from his hand and did as he was told, also putting away his sharp nails and the spikes on his ears.

After wiping himself clean, Akahoshi pounced on the bed and turned to hug Shen Yu's slender waist.

"Wife, I miss you so much." Akahoshi would often snuggle in his wife's arms and inhale her fragrance.

Shen Yu sighed helplessly, patted his head like she was petting a puppy, and said with amusement:

"We've only been apart for a short while, and I already miss you so much."

Chixing got up and kissed him repeatedly on the face, and even "accidentally" touched Shen Yu's thin lips.

"I just want to, I really, really want to."

The wind and rain outside gradually intensified. Shen Yu spoke softly, but Chi Xing couldn't hear her and had to guess what she was saying by reading her lip movements.

They were in the leeward side of the area, their tents were sturdy, and the strong winds and heavy rain had little effect on them.

They were just thinking of starting a fire to cook something, but now they can't, and they can only continue eating raw meat.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Chi Xing hugged Shen Yu and kissed him, sniffing his neck.

The hot breath brushed against Shen Yu's neck, and only then did Shen Yu realize that something was wrong.

He reached out and touched Akahoshi's face; it was indeed burning hot, not just his face, but also his arms and chest.

"you."

Akahoshi lowered her head and pecked him on the lips, her big eyes glazed over, and her tone became somewhat pitiful:

"Honey, I feel so bad."

Shen Yu thought he was sick. Can merfolk get sick too?

He had never encountered this before. It seemed that the merfolk in the celestial realm never got sick. Of course, it was also possible that they were not familiar with each other and would not tell him if they were sick.

But what can we do now? Akahoshi is sick.

Shen Yu asked 250 in his sea of ​​consciousness, and 250 quickly replied:

[My Lord, His Highness's period of inactivity has ended. It must have been because you touched his tail last night.]

Shen Yu: ? ?

How did he resolve this before?

250 suppressed a laugh: [Before the Celestial Lord was around, Your Highness never experienced the FQ period. In the Merfolk, touching a tail signifies courtship, which is why Your Highness reacted.]

Shen Yu: ...

He really doesn't know.

Seeing that Akahoshi's face was flushed red from holding it in, as if he was in great pain.

Shen Yu felt a pang of heartache, but after making up her mind, she took the initiative to reciprocate Chi Xing's kiss.

Then he reached out and stroked a special scale on the merman's lower abdomen.
