Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Zhou Zhu, who was next to Shen Yu, scratched his head and said incredulously, "This, this is not what I imagined."

He imagined a naval battle to be one filled with heavy artillery fire, fierce fighting, and countless casualties, with the enemy at least blowing their ships to smithereens.

Then the small boats behind them rushed to rescue them, but now it seems that...

They were clearly doing the opposite, and Chu Xudong seemed very confident. They never even considered that they would be bombarded by the warships of Nanzhou City, let alone the rescue ships.

At this moment, it seemed as if the warships of Nanzhou City were bullying them. The opposing warships were quickly bombarded and caught fire. Faced with the bombardment, the people on the warships had no ability to resist.

Some jumped into the water, others fled; the lucky ones retreated to a boat behind, while the unlucky ones were swallowed up by the waves.

The sea is rough, and even small boats can be swallowed up, let alone people.

Several warships sank in succession, and Chu Xudong watched as Lin Huai's small boat drifted further and further away. He turned his head and met Chu Yufeng and the stunningly handsome man beside him.

With just one glance, Chu Xudong was certain that it was a mermaid, and a noble one at that.

With a naked gaze fixed on Chi Xing, Shen Yu frowned and immediately raised his musket, firing a shot into Chu Xudong's eye.

He was incredibly fast, giving Chu Xudong no chance to react. With a scream, blood began to flow uncontrollably from Chu Xudong's right eye.

It's also because this kind of musket isn't very lethal. If it were a gun from Blue Star, Chu Xudong would definitely be dead.

"Hmph, those who dare to covet my people, then die, Chu Xudong."

As soon as Shen Yu finished speaking, he commanded Zhou Zhu to fire in that direction, while simultaneously issuing instructions to 250 in his mind.

All the cannonballs fired by Chu Xudong's warships in this direction fell into the sea without making a sound.

However, the cannonballs fired by Nanzhou City hit the enemy's vitals. The next moment, Chu Xudong's warship and the other warships suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The ship's hull twisted in the air like it was made of paper, and in an instant it scattered and flew everywhere with a sharp whistling sound.

Giant waves tens of meters high surged up on the sea surface, with spray mixed with wood chips and fragments that had not yet been completely burned, falling onto the sea like a sudden rain.

Shen Yu's ship was far away, and just as it was about to be hit by the waves, an invisible barrier appeared, blocking all the flying debris.

Chi Xing held Shen Yu tightly in his arms, his back to the distant explosion, afraid that Shen Yu would be hurt.

"It's alright, Xingxing." Shen Yu had covered his ears as soon as the explosion occurred.

Akahoshi frowned. He disliked the sound of explosions. For some reason, his heart would tremble whenever he saw an explosion.

Especially when he was with Shen Yu, he was afraid that she would get hurt. Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on Shen Yu's arm and said in a low voice:

I don't want you to get hurt.

Shen Yu said earnestly, "I promise I won't get hurt again."

"Okay." Akahoshi always believed him.

The flames from the explosion burned for a while, and all the ships sank. Lin Huai was rescued by Shen Yu's ship, and they returned to Nanzhou City together.

The following day, Chu Yanzhou personally led his army directly to Fancheng, and the news that the emperor had been struck by lightning in the South China Sea and died instantly spread throughout the Mu Chu Kingdom.

In the imperial court, Prime Minister Lin took the lead in requesting His Highness Prince Zhou to return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation.

The Mu Chu Kingdom's palace was in complete chaos, yet only the brothers Chu Yanzhou and Chu Yufeng were fit to ascend the throne.

Prime Minister Lin had already received Lin Huai's message, and naturally supported Prince Zhou's ascension to the throne.

On the day Chu Yanzhou left, Shen Yu and Chi Xing bid them farewell.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With Zhou Zhu and the others here, I'll be fine." Shen Yu chuckled softly when he saw his reluctance to part.

The two children, one holding the hand of the royal uncle and the other holding the hand of the uncle, were both in tears.

Duoduo likes her handsome uncle: "Why can't Uncle come along? Waaah."

She sobbed softly, and Shen Yu picked her up and wiped away her tears.

"Duoduo, be good. Next time, Duoduo will come to play with your uncle and father."

Kyoto is not his territory after all. Chu Yanzhou is going back to seize power this time. There are definitely many of Chu Xudong's remaining followers among them. Chi Xing is a merman, and Shen Yu doesn't want him to take any risks.

But it was impossible to leave Akahoshi alone in the South China Sea; he had promised Hoshino that he wouldn't leave.

So let the emperor go by himself, and he'll just be a lazy bum, waiting for the emperor to bestow upon him the title of prince.

Cen Yun returned to the capital with Lin Huai. Those close to him knew about their relationship. By the time they got married, things in the capital would probably be settled, and Shen Yu might be able to take Chi Xing to the capital for a visit.

The large ship sailed far away, and Shen Yu and Chi Xing stood on the beach for a long time until they could no longer see the ship before taking Chi Xing home.

"Does Xingxing want to go to Kyoto?" Shen Yu asked.

Chi Xing shook his head and then nodded: "If my wife wants to go, I'll go with her; if you don't want to go, then you don't have to."

Shen Yu boarded a small boat, and Chi Xing followed him into the cabin.

A slightly salty sea breeze carried them away from the shore at a fairly fast pace.

Inside the cabin, the two kissed, their collars loose.

"It's only afternoon, the stars are out."

Akahoshi loosened his belt, a low chuckle escaping his throat: "On the ship, haven't tried it yet, wife, are you going to refuse me?"

His brows were furrowed, and a sly smile played on his lips, prompting Shen Yu to kiss him several times. He exhaled and said:

I won't reject you.

……

The small boat drifted on the sea until the moon rose.

When Shen Yu was carried out by Chi Xing, the sea was rippling with blue waves, and a pier had already been built on the island.

Not far away, there were some potted plants and greenery. A small courtyard had been added to the island. Chi Xing skillfully carried Shen Yu through the door. They were obviously not here for the first time.

When it was first built, Shen Yu brought Chi Xing here, but there were no green plants in the yard at that time. Now it is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants.

They sent someone to check on things every few days, and no one else came here.

Chixing carried Shen Yu into the room. The beds inside were all new. After Shen Yu lay down, Chixing went to the kitchen to cook.
