The son-in-law is a thief

The fleet led by Jiu Tian advanced against the wind, and the huge sail was pulled back to the top of the mast. The sailors on the ship were preparing their bows and arrows, and sharpening their swords. At the bottom of the deck, it was the only driving force for Jiu Tian to move forward. , The whole ship was pushed forward by the boatmen on the lower deck, and the dark and damp lower space was filled with the smell of sweat.

There are hundreds of boatmen on the left and right of the ground floor. They wear their upper bodies, and even their lower bodies are only wearing simple underwear. Long oars, as long as the leader gives an order, they will raise their hands and put them down tacitly.

Standing at the forefront of the boatmen are three sailors beating drums. Although they are the leaders of this layer, they are not much more relaxed than the rowing workers. There is a big drum in front of each of them, and the drum of each drum The face was three feet wide, and they raised their shoulders and slammed the drumsticks on the drum. The three of them were not similar in appearance, but their synchronized movements seemed to be illusioned by one person. Neither anxious nor impatient, neither fast nor slow, they perfectly controlled the speed of Jiutian's advancement, and they controlled the headwind no matter what.

The ten lucky boats were advancing synchronously, they did not speed up, but their speed did not decrease at all. They seemed to intend to shorten the distance with the Qi army, and gave the enemy a glimmer of hope, but this hope may not be easy to catch. Don't worry, if you don't exhaust your rights, this hope will have to fly away in front of them.

Han Chu stood on the bow of Guangfu, and the strong sea wind knocked the red tassels on his peeping head into the air. He took off his helmet and dripped a few drops of sweat on his forehead, but it was quickly dried by the sea wind. The hunter was still a little nervous. After all, his prey was scary enough. At least in this sea, the prey was still at the top. This made the brave general a little nervous. It's sweat.

"Bring water." Han Chu said to the soldiers.

"General." The soldier handed over the water bag and hurriedly withdrew, not daring to disturb the general at all.

"General, good news." The white and clean captain surnamed Zhang came up after seeing the semaphore.

Han Chu glanced at Xiaowei Zhang, and said, "I haven't taken the enemy's head yet, so why not?"

Xiaowei Zhang pointed to the front and said: "The sailors in front spread the news that there were ships throwing wooden barrels on the sea, and the wooden barrels were floating all over the sea, and several ships were hit."

Han Chu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You can see what's in the barrel?"

Zhang Xiaowei replied: "There is rice, grain, and some silk."

"It's really a good thing!" Han Chu's nervousness was released at once, and he said to the captain surnamed Zhang: "Keep accelerating!"

"Decree!" Captain Zhang turned around and ran towards the banner soldiers.

At this time, the official who had been guarding Han Chu asked, "I don't understand, my army has damaged the ship before we can catch up with the enemy. Why should we be happy?"

Han Chu stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You civil servants naturally don't understand the battlefield. Rice and silk are precious things. Why are you throwing them into the sea?"

The document thought for a while, and said: "As Xiaowei Zhang said just now, resist our advance."

"Confused!" Although Han Chu reprimanded him, he smiled as soon as he said, "They dropped so many heavy objects, it must be because the boat was too heavy to speed up. It has resisted us, and secondly, it has reduced its own weight, and the natural speed can also be increased."

"Then...for our army..." The clerk seemed to understand again suddenly, and he turned his eyes and said: "That means that the nine-day fleet has more cargo, so naturally the speed cannot be increased?"

"At least those ships that have dumped their cargo can't escape!" Han Chu said proudly: "I, Han Chu, don't seek a big victory, but this is the first time that my Daqi confronts Wanshi Port. If we can capture Gu Ruyang, we will be blessed." A boat, that can show the might of our Great Qi on this sea."

"General wise!"

The clerk hastily bowed his head in obeisance, but when he bowed his head, a pool of bird droppings fell from the sky and hit him on the head impartially.

"Pfft..." Han Chu laughed suddenly: "You, did you see that, this is joy from heaven."

The clerk was also very embarrassed, but warriors are always rude and he couldn't say anything more, he just looked up and saw a few seagulls flying by in the sky, and then a few more seagulls landed on the mast.

"Why are there so many birds?"

On the other side, in the direction Qi Jun was chasing with all his strength, Gu Ruyang asked someone to hand over two jugs of wine, which were the good wine from Hokuriku specially sent by Zhaoyang. Swordfish, a few drops of Siamese lemon juice on the fish, it has a special aroma.The two toasted and drank, but they chatted about the scenery of the sea, without the slightest feeling that soldiers were approaching the city.

"The son-in-law is really not nervous at all, he looks like a general." Feng Jian whispered to Feng Di, and the two of them stood on the stairs knowingly, not to disturb Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang World.

"She's not nervous, but I'm so nervous." Fengdi replied anxiously: "The last time I encountered this, I crossed the Qionger Strait south, so how many people died."

Feng Jian's gaze fell on Zhaoyang involuntarily. It was in that year that the eldest princess was no longer a sunny girl. She clearly remembered that when she was sent into the palace to serve Zhaoyang, she kept watch every night. Beside the princess' bed, as soon as night falls, she can always see Zhaoyang either waking up from a dream, or being trapped by a nightmare, making sad voices.

Nandu at that time, with countless corpses floating on the sky sea, was a lingering nightmare for many Dazhou people.

"At least we survived." Feng Jian cheered up, she looked towards Zhaoyang with a smile, and said: "Look at the princess, I think we will be better."

"How are you up there?"

Feng Jian came back to his senses, but saw Hai Xing standing behind the two of them, she still had a sullen face, she couldn't tell whether she was nervous or relaxed, happy or angry, but just this expression, she looked like someone who was never happy.

"Where do we care about your business? Where is the princess and where are we? Are you still in charge of us?" Feng Di raised her chin and said, in her opinion, Gu Haixing is no different from herself, except that she serves the princess, and Haixing serves Gu Such as Yang.

"The little fox is here too?" Hai Xing's face became even more icy.

"Who are you talking about the little fox? That's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Fengdi looked dissatisfied.

"Princess?" Gu Haixing sneered: "If it wasn't for your princess, we wouldn't be entangled with Qigou here."

"Get out!" Gu Haixing never save face, she knocked Fengdi aside and went directly to Gu Ruyang.

"Who do you think you are!" Naturally, Feng Di couldn't be more angry. Although she and Feng Jian were maids of honor, they were also from official families, and anyone would give them three points in normal times.

"Fengdi, don't make trouble." Fengjian held Fengdi back, and she didn't like Gu Haixing very much, but at this very moment, she had to be very tolerant: "It's also a matter of business if you want to come to Miss Gu to find a son-in-law, and now It's not time to make trouble, so don't cause trouble for His Highness."

Fengdi has a big temper, Fengjian managed to hold back with great difficulty, and he was not in the mood to be interested, the two of them just stood there blankly, waiting for Zhaoyang's orders.

Gu Haixing hurried up to Gu Ruyang, she gave Zhaoyang a blank look, and then said to Gu Ruyang: "The master, the bird is here."

Gu Ruyang was drinking with Zhaoyang, she sat up and looked around, but she didn't see any birds.

"Where is the bird?" Gu Ruyang asked.

"Master You Fan just sent the signal, and the bird is already on board." Hai Xing replied.

"What did Uncle Zhou say?" Gu Ruyang asked again.

"Uncle Zhou said, the birds are coming, and the wind and rain are coming soon, but there is still a while to go to the outlying island. If you stay with the fox as the head of the family, you may miss the arrangement." Gu Haixing said bluntly.

"I'm afraid the last two sentences are not from Uncle Zhou." Gu Ruyang has nothing to do with Gu Haixing.

Gu Haixing gave Zhaoyang a blank look again, but he stopped talking, and he didn't know where his temper came from.

"Oh, why are you still standing here?" Gu Ruyang shouted, "Gu Haixing!"

"exist!"

"After passing the order, Master You Fan's boat speeds up to keep up, and the other ships fan out. Master Li Fan of the right wing takes advantage of the wind to go west, and Master Hong Fan of the right sails east, advancing to Liren Island in three lines respectively."

"Decree!" Gu Haixing has always been serious, and when it comes to serious things, he becomes more serious. The flag bearer next to Gu Ruyang raised the signal, and Gu Haixing also quickly ran to the bow.

Different drum sounds came from all directions, ten huge ships were heading in different directions, the sea wind suddenly picked up, and Zhaoyang's long hair was blown up. Sniff lightly, full of orchid fragrance.When Zhaoyang came back to his senses, he saw that Gu Ruyang was already looking at him with an ambiguous expression. Zhaoyang pulled back his hair, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

"Don't make trouble." Zhaoyang said in a low voice.

Seeing Zhaoyang's shy appearance, Gu Ruyang wanted to get closer, but she was surrounded by her Gu family's personal guards, which seemed a bit out of place.

"Okay, don't make trouble now." Gu Ruyang said not to make trouble, but stretched out her hand to grab Zhaoyang's waist, and hugged her beside her. She whispered in Zhaoyang's ear: "When I win this game, Slowly making trouble with you at night."

Zhaoyang's cheeks flushed, and she pushed Gu Ruyang away violently. While she was walking towards the stairs, she summoned Fengjian Fengdi.

"I'm tired, go back to my room!"

"Yes!" Although the master didn't know why he suddenly said that he wanted to go back, the two maids still followed Zhaoyang downstairs.

Looking at the background where Zhaoyang left shyly, Gu Ruyang smiled and cleaned up the wine. She lowered her face again and looked at the distant sky. Sure enough, a row of sea geese was heading towards the direction where Jiutian was driving. On the side, the dark clouds can already be seen slowly gathering together.

"drop--"

A drop of rain fell in front of Gu Ruyang, Gu Ruyang smiled slightly, and the game of cat and mouse was about to begin.
