Chapter 493(1/2)
Zhan Zhao asked the Chen brothers to send soldiers to take unlit lanterns torches to several warships.
Although the Chen brothers didn't understand what was going on, since Zhan Zhao was sent by Zhao Pu, they naturally listened to him.
After everyone had made arrangements, Zhan Zhao saw the shark that fell beside him.
The shark nodded to him, Zhan Zhao said to the Chen brothers, "I count to three, all the people lit the torches, and beat the war drums that can be beaten for me."
As Zhan Zhao counted to three, Chen Bang raised his hand and a contact arrow went into the sky... As the sound came, lights lit up on several warships in the port.
Strangely, the Chen brothers remember that there were only a few ships in the port, but at this time... a large area of warships appeared on the sea surface, with no less than a hundred ships predicting that they were. That posture... at least hundreds of thousands of naval troops gathered at the port. And the sound of war drums was astonishing.
The two brothers stared at the sight of each other.
Obviously, the posture here surprised the warship team that raided overnight on the other side, because they didn't understand the situation and were afraid of being ambushed... The other party's warship retreated.
Yaoyao carried Bai Yutang and Tianzun along with the fleets... until they sailed to the vast sea and disappeared into the night before turning back to the shore.
At this time, the Chen brothers, Zhan Zhao and others had arrived at the port.
When they arrived, everyone found that there were still a few warships that had not increased, but the water surface near the sea was frozen. Ice walls stood on the ice layer, and because of the night, mirrors formed... Under the influence of these mirrors, the originally shabby warships turned into thousands of troops.
However, this trick seems to work at night, but it won’t work during the day... This time I escaped a disaster, and there will be troubles later.
Yaoyao's scream came, and everyone raised their faces and saw a white "dragon" flying closer.
Chen Bang and Chen Feng were shocked, Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm my own."
The two brothers looked at each other, thinking that the Ninth Prince is becoming more and more amazing... Even the dragon is there!
Bai Yutang and Tianzun got off Yaoyao's back. Tianzun had a good time. Yaoyao was so cold that she threw the ice residue on her body, but Bai Yutang frowned slightly, as if she was worried.
Zhan Zhao asked the Chen brothers to be more vigilant, and Zhao Pu should be able to arrive in a few days.
Chen Bang and Chen Feng naturally did not dare to neglect them, and went down to set up defenses to ensure the safety of Chuzhou.
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang and Tianzun Yaoyao temporarily live in the military camp.
At this moment, there was not much time before dawn, and neither of them was sleepy. Zhan Zhao was so hungry that he pulled Bai Yutang and Tianzun, who had been calling for hunger, went to Chuzhou Prefecture for a walk, and finally found a restaurant that he still did business at night.
Not to mention, the food in this restaurant is quite good, especially the fried noodles.
Zhan Zhaohe Tianzun took a few bites, and saw that Bai Yutang was still dazed, and at the same time he picked up chopsticks of dishes into his bowl.
Bai Yutang came to his senses.
Zhan Zhao asked him, "Are you hungry? Have a meal."
The Heavenly Lord also said, "That's it!"
Bai Yutang also understood that he was a little hungry, so he took the chopsticks and was distracted while eating.
Seeing that he was worried, Zhan Zhao asked, "Are you worried?"
Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Aren't you worried?"
Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly, "It's not that easy after fooling this time, but don't worry." As he said that, he reached out to take out the bamboo tube for raising his gold shell, shook it at Bai Yutang, and signaled that it was empty.
Bai Yutang understood that Chuzhou Prefecture is not far from Changzhou Prefecture, and Zhan Zhao probably reported that the person from the Demon Palace had come to help.
"Yes, right." Tianzun nodded, "Let's call your aunts, especially your Aunt Huang and Lu. They are both good at using water and their brains. It's definitely no problem to Zhao Pulai."
Zhan Zhao nodded too.
"But what happened after Zhao Pu came?" Bai Yutang asked, "Are you sure you will win?"
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you think Zhao Pu will lose?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I'm not worried that Zhao Pu will lose, what I'm worried about is that Zhao Pu's warship will lose."
Zhan Zhao was helpless, and it was indeed a problem that should be faced.
Tianzun also nodded, "I just got closer and saw that big ship is really big! It's extraordinary!"
"And it looks extremely solid." Bai Yutang said to himself, "Sea boats are different from horseback riding and fighting. They can't stop at critical moments. It is common for ships to hit ships at that time... The difference between a large ship and a small boat is here. The largest ship alone can knock any of the warships in Zhao Pu's hands. Moreover, they come from the far sea, and the speed of the ship is faster than that of Yaoyao. The shipbuilding technology is not at the same level at all."
Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "The warships of Zhao Pu were built by your second brother. Are you afraid that your second brother will beat you?"
Bai Yutang made Zhan Zhao amused, "My second brother has no problem with the shipbuilding technology... But the other party's ship doesn't look like something from this era."
Zhan Zhao was stunned.
Tianzun chewed the fried noodles all over his mouth and came over to ask, "Can it be Xingtian?"
"Although I'm not very expert," Bai Yutang frowned and pondered, while muttering to himself, "The construction style of that ship is very similar to the Xingtian, but the Xingtian number I understand should be bigger!"
Zhan Zhao frowned, "If these people had something to do with the Xingtian sank in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not keep the ships of the time. However, the ships have been around for more than a hundred years and are still so jailed and have not rotten?"
"The boat can be renovated, the most important thing is the keel bones." Bai Yutang said, "As long as the keel bones are well preserved, there is no problem in making the outer shells."
Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "If... can you go to Ehu Island and find the keel of that big ship, can your second brother build a larger ship?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "Absolutely, and this place is not far from Xiankong Island. If all the craftsmen are called, they can be completed in a few days!"
"So fast?" Zhan Zhao felt unbelievable.
"To put it bluntly, it's just a renovation of the old ship." Bai Yutang frowned, "The question is how to find the Ehu Island."
After everyone had lunch, they walked out of the restaurant. Yaoyao also ate a basket of fish and burped around. Fortunately, no one saw it in the middle of the night.
Zhan Zhao was also looking at Yaoyao while walking. Although it was very fast in the sky and water, it was swaying left and right like a duck when walking. Although the speed was not slow, it was quite comfortable for him to walk, but others were really tired of watching it.
Zhan Zhao reached out to rub Yaoyao's back, and Yaoyao immediately rubbed his head with his big head, which was very close.
Tianzun and Bai Yutang walked behind, watching the man and dragon walking in front of him making trouble, and inexplicably, they felt better.
Tianzun asked Bai Yutang, "Did you see what the problem is just now?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "There are not many people on the boat."
"Yes." Tianzun nodded.
Zhan Zhao turned around in front, "There are not many people?"
"It doesn't feel like a hundred thousand people." Bai Yutang frowned, "Speaking of this, most parts of my Song Dynasty are on land. Even if his naval army is very strong and the ships are very large, he still has to come to land if he really wants to attack. There are too few people on the ground. How can he fight with Zhao Pu? Where can he get confidence?"
"This is also the reason why Zhao Pu left Ouyang to guard the imperial city." Zhan Zhao said.
"You mean, someone is working with them inside and outside?" Bai Yutang asked, "King Boyang?"
"King Boyang has been named a loyal minister in his life. If he is old, he will not be able to be in danger of being in his later years?" Zhan Zhao said to himself, "Maybe it was someone else."
Unlike the people of Kaifeng Prefecture, after several studies, they all learned clues about the Eight Clan Islands. Zhan Zhao and the others are still confused and cannot even make a difference where those warships came from.
...
Back to the barracks.
As soon as Bai Yutang leaned against the bed, he began to close his eyes and rest.
Zhan Zhao knew that he was picky. Although the bed and bedding were new, he still took it out and shook it. When he took it back, he saw that Bai Yutang was already asleep.
Gently covered the quilt on Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao leaned against the pillow to look at Bai Yutang's sleeping face, and then reached out to push Yaoyao, who was also leaning over to join in the fun.
After watching for a while, Zhan Zhao finally felt a little sleepy, so he leaned against the pillow and went to bed next to Bai Yutang.
...
"Wow!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Bai Yutang heard a shout in his ear while he was sleeping.
Because he was too close, the fifth master's ears were so loud that Weng Weng was clattering. He rubbed his ears and sat up, turned around and saw Zhan Zhao sitting there and gasping for breath. It seemed the same as when he woke up in the middle of the night last time. Bai Yutang reached out to touch Zhan Zhao's temples... Sure enough, the cold sweat was soaked.
He lifted the quilt and sat up. Seeing Zhan Zhao who was breathing, "I have a nightmare again?"
Zhan Zhao couldn't speak. After he fell asleep in a daze just now, he had the dream he had before. The dream scene was almost exactly the same. Bai Yutang sat beside his bed, and he raised his head... and saw Bai Yutang wearing the white ghost mask.
Bai Yutang is also puzzled. Looking at Zhan Zhao, are you too tired or worried recently? Why do you always have nightmares? In Bai Yutang's opinion, Zhan Zhao is a type of person who eats well and sleeps well and is in a good mood. This has not happened before. What happened these days?
Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang, but his mind was flying - why could he have two almost identical nightmares in succession? And why did he keep dreaming that Bai Yutang was wearing a mask? Is this a dream or something ominous sign?
Both of them were thinking about each other's affairs, staring at each other in a daze, and looking at each other with a look of worry.
At this moment, a voice came slowly, "You two are still young? Are you so stupid when you sleep?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to their senses and turned to look at it. On the bed opposite, Tianzun was leaning against the side of the bed with his chin holding his one hand, and Yaoyao was lying on the edge of the bed.
Zhan Zhao remembered that the Tianzun refused to have a room alone and insisted on having a room with them, so he slept opposite him.
Tianzun looked at Zhan Zhao and asked curiously, "Can't you sleep soundly? Why is the internal force fluctuation so much?"
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Internal force?"
Bai Yutang was not sure of it. He was lying beside Zhan Zhao, not feeling any problems with the cat's internal strength.
The Heavenly Lord narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. Suddenly, he asked Zhan Zhao in a little while, "What did you dream about? Tell me?"
Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed and always felt embarrassed to say it. It wasn't that he dreamed that Bai Yutang was wearing a mask and couldn't say it, but that he dreamed that Bai Yutang was wearing a mask and had such a big reaction.
"Cough cough." Zhan Zhao coughed, turned over and lay down, "Continue to sleep, otherwise it will be dawn, and tomorrow I will check what the hell is on the boat."
Before Bai Yutang lay down, he subconsciously looked at the Tianzun opposite him.
Just as the Heavenly Lord looked at Zhan Zhao's eyes, he seemed to be a little worried.
