The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress - Chapter 129

It’s getting late, and the three of them have discussed that they want to go to Nanhai as soon as possible, and they are ready to go to rest. Who knows that when they turn around, they see Huai Rushan, who has not spoken, pouting (fart pi) shares, holding the candlestick in his hand, and the whole person is fast Lie down on the case table. +++Mobile phone reading Visit m.mtlnovel.com The two identical portraits were stacked and held by his hands.

Huai Ruyu brows brows and kicks his (fart pi) thigh: “What are you doing? Watch out for the candlelight!”

“Hey, don’t kick me.” Huai Rushan twisted, straightened up and raised the portrait higher, and said proudly: “This time you won’t be able to take me to the South China Sea.”

“What did you find?” Huai Ruyu frowned.

“It should be the map of the tomb of the shark.” Huai Rushan said.

“Let me see.” Huai Ruyu said that he was about to reach out to pick up the portrait, but Huai Rushan stepped back abruptly and raised his chin and said: “Take me with you, or I will give it to you, too. can not see.”

Huai Ruyu looked at him badly, Huai Rushan suddenly felt a little bit awkward, moved his feet to hide behind An Changqing, and muttered unconvincedly: “I’m not a kid anymore. I know the map, you are. If you don’t take me there, I can find a boat to go to sea, maybe faster than you.”

After speaking, I felt that I was alone and lonely, so I poked An Changqing and said, “Cousin, do you think I am right?”

An Changqing gave him a helpless expression.

But Huai Ruyu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed, “If you want to go, go. What is on the painting?”

Unexpectedly this time it was so simple, Huai Rushan was stunned, and then reacted, straightened up (color), and hung the two stacked paintings above the candlelight and said, “Look, this is it.”

Just above the candlelight, a faint outline appeared on the two overlapping portraits.

“If there is only one portrait, you won’t be able to see it under the candlelight.” Huai Rushan took one of the portraits away, and the faint outline was invisible. He handed the portrait to Huai Ruyu, called Huai Ruyu holding it, and he found a pen and paper, and explained while painting: “I have seen this kind of art when I was playing around before. I used special paints on paper. When you write, the written words disappear after drying them for a while. If you want to read the words on the paper, you need to face the candle, and the handwriting will appear as soon as the candle is burned.”

He was just curious to give it a try. At the beginning, he only took one painting and found no special features. But he accidentally layered the two paintings together, and the fire light shone on the portrait, but there were some faint outlines.

“These two portraits should be more advanced than the folk art I have seen. The handwriting is very light. They must be stacked together to show (color).” He pointed to the contour copied on the rice paper and said: “This contour, look. It looks like a map of Yuze and a nearby chart. Look here, this is Jiayi City. To the south of Jiayi City is the South China Sea. The island to the south of the sea should be the Tomb of the Kairen…”

While talking, he has copied the entire picture: “…These waves should be the direction of the ocean currents. As long as you avoid these countercurrent ocean currents, you should be able to get close to the tomb of the sharks, but there are still paintings around the tombs of the sharks. There is a circle of black (color) vertical bars, but I don’t know what it is.”

The other three leaned over to take a closer look, but they didn’t see why. It’s just that according to conventional guesses, it will probably be some defensive thing.

“If you can’t guess it, you have to wait and react accordingly.” An Changqing said.

Xiao Zhige nodded in agreement and looked towards Huai Rushan and said: “You are familiar with maps and sea charts.” I thought it was just a pair of pants guarded by my brother, but I didn’t expect to have some skills, at least not as simple as it seems on the surface. Silly.

Huai Rushan chuckled twice, and then he noticed Huai Ruyu’s heavy gaze on the other side. He shrank his neck and didn’t know who explained it to him: “I have been away all year round, and I have been walking around Yuze, including the nearby sea. Everywhere I go, I will draw a local map, which is naturally familiar.”

Huai Ruyu let out a hum, and did not continue the topic, but said to An Changqing, “It’s not early, let’s rest today. I will discuss the portrait again tomorrow, and I will order someone to pick it up again.” Several old sailors who can watch the currents.”

An Changqing read a lot of books today, and she was really tired. They took the opportunity to leave. Huai Rushan followed behind him and wanted to leave, but Huai Ruyu gritted his teeth behind him: “Ashan, you stay.”

“…” Huai Rushan’s footsteps stiffened, and he looked sadly at An Changqing’s back. An Changqing didn’t realize it, and left with Xiao Zhige.

***

In the next few days, An Changqing and Xiao Zhige continued to go to the secret library to read the classics. Huai Rushan finally got his brother’s approval, and she followed him. It’s just that he didn’t have much patience. After reading a few handbooks, he became impatient, and specifically looked for folk rumors of the Shaman tribe.

Moreover, he was troublesome. When An Changqing and Xiao Zhige came alone, they could handle a day with a pot of tea and two plates of pastries. After Huai Rushan came, he asked for tea and snacks of different colors. The two janitor couldn’t hear him, so he asked Huai Ruyu’s waiter to deliver it. While reading a book while eating cakes, I will be surprised when I see a strange record.

After a while, he screamed, “The scorpion woven by the scorpion clan can actually be invulnerable.”

After a while, he took a deep breath, “The legs of the mackerel tribe will turn into fish tails after they go to the sea.” After that, I still have to peek at An Changqing’s legs: “Will you also have fish tails?”

“…” An Changqing smiled and said to him: “If it weren’t for the face of elephants and white peacocks, I would definitely throw you out.” He finally understood why Huai Ruyu couldn’t say a few words to him. It seems that Huai Rushan is too noisy and annoying to start being violent.

Huai Rushan: “…”

About being afraid of being thrown out, he finally read the book honestly.

By the time they almost finished reading the books and scripts in the secret library, it was already late August. At the same time, Huai Ruyu finally finished handling the political affairs, and at the same time appointed his confidant minister to handle the political affairs on his behalf. Like An Changqing Xiao Zhige, he also secretly selected an heir and left his will. If Huai Rushan does not go, this will be left to him. But he had to follow along, Huai Ruyu could only choose another heir just in case.

In addition, he also requisitioned ten sea ships. These ten sea-going vessels are all year round to and from overseas countries, because they carry goods, they are built to be large and sturdy. It is just right for the trip to the South China Sea.

Ten sea-going ships, each equipped with a hundred experienced boatmen, plus two hundred soldiers, dozens of doctors and other personnel. A large amount of food, water, medicine and weapons are stored in the bottom cabin. A batch of newly-developed firearms brought from Yejing were also distributed to various ships.

On August 25th, everything was ready, everyone arrived at Jiayi City, ready to go to sea.

Above the pier, one main ship is in the middle, and the other nine ships are distributed around the main ship in the form of escorts. In addition to An Changqing’s four people on the main ship, the elites of Yuze and Daye were also gathered.

Both An Changqing and Xiao Zhige went out to sea on a boat for the first time. They stood on the deck and watched the sails rise high and the sea breeze swelled the sails. After the horn sounded, ten ships sailed into the sea one after another.

The sea ahead was broken open, arousing waves of white (color). There is an endless expanse of the sea ahead, An Changqing (Xiong) is agitated, and said with slight excitement: “The sea is much bigger than I imagined…” Even this looking incomparably tall ship is in this sea. It also appears small and fragile.

A drop in the ocean is probably the case.

Huai Rushan walked out of the cabin and saw him looking forward with emotion, so he smiled and said: “The first time you go to sea, it is best to go to the cabin to rest. Seasickness at sea is not a trivial matter.”

An Changqing felt it for a while and said, “I don’t feel dizzy.”

Huai Rushan finally regained a sense of superiority, raised his chin and hugged him, saying, “It’s still early, and you will see it in a while.”

…

Half a day after the boat went out to sea, An Changqing leaned on the side of the boat and threw up dimly. All the things I had eaten before were swallowed, my mind was dizzy, and his hands and feet were limp. Had it not been for Xiao Zhige to catch him in time, An Changqing would almost collapse on the ship’s board.

“Now you believe it?” Huai Rushan handed over a bottle of pills and said, “Eating this will make you feel better. You will get used to it after you spend another two or three days at sea.”

Xiao Zhige took the bottle and uncorked it, and he smelled a pungent odor. He tasted one, and the nasal odor spread from his mouth to his brain, almost spitting it out with excitement. Although the taste is really indescribable, it does have some effect. Xiao Zhige didn’t move, pouring out one and feeding it to An Changqing’s mouth.

An Changqing’s physical strength has not recovered yet, her face (color) is pale, and she frowned when she smelled the smell: “It smells so bad.”

Xiao Zhige deceived people without changing his face: “It just smells bad, not bad.”

An Changqing was feeling uncomfortable, and there was no doubt about him. He opened his mouth and let him feed. Xiao Zhige moved the pill into his mouth quickly, and then quickly pinched his jaw, before he could react, (强qiang) forced him to swallow. An Changqing only vomited, and he felt nauseous after taking this pill. It took a few vomits before he recovered. Breathlessly said to Huai Rushan: “How do I feel that you are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against me?”

Huai Rushan smiled and waved his hand to deny: “You think too much, we are brothers, how can we have hatred?”

An Changqing didn’t have the energy to quarrel with him, feeling that the dizziness was indeed reduced, so he asked Xiao Zhige to help him back to the cabin to rest.

After the fleet walked at sea for five days, An Changqing finally overcome the seasickness. Xiao Zhige (body shen) is better than him, except for the first day, the rest is not affected.

Calculating the time, it was already August 30, and according to the copy of the chart, they had been walking around the retrograde ocean current without encountering any obstacles for the time being.

An Changqing stood on the deck with her hands back. After the original novelty passed, the blue and magnificent sea became the same. In addition to dealing with all kinds of sudden storms and crises, the biggest obstacle to sailing at sea is actually the boring life at sea. Repeating life day after day can easily make people feel flustered.

Standing on the deck for a while, An Changqing turned back. Xiao Zhige and Huai Ruyu were playing chess, and Huai Rushan, a stinky chess basket, was pointing the country. An Changqing looked at the three of them, and felt that the inexplicable anxiety in his heart was a little less. Calm down and sit down next to Xiao Zhige, pick up the book halfway through and continue to look.

It didn’t take long before the cabins were knocked, and the attendants came in solemnly to report: “The captain said there might be a storm this evening.”

When sailing on the sea, it is most taboo to encounter storms. They observed the celestial phenomena before they went out, and it was sunny. The five-day boat trip was indeed windy and sunny. But I didn’t expect a storm to appear suddenly.

The four exchanged their eyes, and Huai Ruyu asked out aloud, “How big is the storm and is it possible to resist it?”

The attendant replied: “The captain said that the cloud group is not small, and this storm will not be small.”

“Notify all ships to lower their sails in the evening, and according to the previous preparation plan, ask people to immediately connect all the ships with iron cables. If a storm arises, everyone will go to the cabin to take shelter.”

This is an emergency plan negotiated before going to sea. It takes ten and a half days to sail on the sea, and one and a half years as long. It is inevitable that there will be storms on the way. Fortunately, they anticipated that they would encounter such a situation before going to sea, and they had made sufficient preparations. Although the news is a bit heavy, at least it will not be too flustered.

They did their best, and the rest was left to fate.
