Chapter 25 Section Thirteen

Yu Anzi said: "Please come in. The real person is about to ask me to invite Liu Tongzhi to discuss matters, so it's just right when you come." There was still a scent of sandalwood in the cabin of Yuqing, but Liu Fengwu could smell some faint scent of sulfur in it.He knew that the two main medicines used in alchemy of the Shangqing Danding School were sulfur and mercury, and the Qingxu Tuna School probably also valued these two medicines. Yu Qingzi was sitting upright on the bed, Liu Fengwu saluted and said: "Really, look at the sky, the storm is coming, we want to dock the ship, I don't know what will the real person want?"

Yu Qingzi was sitting intently, and upon hearing this, he and Yu Anzi took a quick look, and said, "General Liu, I'm thinking of making a big altar on the shore tonight to worship the God of the Sea. Since Liu If the general has such a proposal, it is fine." Is Yuqingzi tired of staying at sea too?He wanted to laugh a little, but said with a serious face: "Then the real person needs the help of the water army?" "I'll take the handymen I brought with me, that's enough, and I don't need to bother the generals." He is afraid that the people in the water army will still have some anger towards him.Liu Fengwu said: "Since this is the case, I will arrange for people to go ashore, and when I am done, I will respectfully invite the real person to go ashore."

Yu Qingzi said: "Liu Tongzhi, I have something to ask General Haihan, this grand ceremony cannot be viewed by outsiders, please General Liu to restrain the soldiers and not go ashore to peek." That is not letting us go ashore.Liu Fengwu was a little annoyed, but there was still no expression on her face, and said: "I respect the real life." "What? Don't let us go ashore? Damn it!" As soon as the headmaster heard Liu Fengwu's message, he threw the cable in his hand and yelled loudly.Liu Fengwu shouted: "Shut up!" Na Shichang didn't say anything after hearing the words, but just muttered: "We still have to toss around on the sea all night, it's really fucking."

Liu Fengwu scolded him, and then said softly: "There is no need to say more, anyway, we have passed through the big wind and waves anyway, tomorrow no matter what, I will let the real person rest for a day and go ashore to play." Na Shichang was told by Liu Fengwu, and his big face, which was tanned by the wind and sun, also turned purple, he laughed and said: "This place is almost like the emperor's garden, and brothers really want to go ashore to see it." Look, catch some wild game. Commander, the brothers are really tired of eating some dry food these days. We caught a big fish just now, and it’s just right if we don’t ask us to work. How about grilling the fish on the deck later? "

Liu Fengwu said: "Okay, but be careful of the candles, don't be careless." This long said: "Yes, we are soldiers, nothing will happen." He looked at the shore and murmured: "These two legs really want to go ashore too." Thinking about the deliciousness of barbecue. Because the draft of the broken horn was too deep, it had to stop in the deep water nearly one mile from the shore.The anchor was lowered, and all the boats on the ship were lowered into the water.It was not easy for more than 800 people to disembark. The ten or so small boats went back and forth seven or eight times before they were considered to have sent all the boys and girls ashore.Zhu Xihong's group was the last to go ashore, and Liu Fengwu intentionally didn't look at her when sending her off, but she couldn't help but glance at her out of the corner of her eye when they were rowing.She was sitting on the boat, with a rare joy on her face, looking at Liu Fengwu from time to time.While rowing the boat, Liu Fengwu felt that the jade pendant on her chest was getting colder and colder.

After Zhu Xihong and some women went ashore, Liu Fengwu was about to return.Those men and women walked with their heads bowed in trepidation, she suddenly looked back on the shore, Liu Fengwu was already looking at her back, the two eyes met, Liu Fengwu felt as if her chest was hit by a hammer With a heavy blow, some tears suddenly welled up in his eyes. They all walked away one by one.Yuqingzi's big sacrifice was on that high ground, and the handymen were cutting wood, as if they were going to build a house.These seventy handymen were all brought by Yu Qingzi, there were everyone, and they did it very quickly.Zhu Xihong walked away slowly among the crowd, leaving only footprints on the sand, and the waves came and blurred those footprints little by little.

Each of the dozen or so small boats used to be rowed by a soldier from the Water Corps, but now they are all sailing back to the broken army. Seeing that Liu Fengwu was still staring at the girls on the shore in a daze, a soldier stopped his hands. paddle, shouted: "Liu Tongzhi!" When Liu Fengwu was called out by him, she suddenly came to her senses and stepped up to stroke twice.But he was far away from those soldiers, the fastest rower had already reached the boat, and the slowest rower was halfway through before he set off, so there was no way he could catch up. Holding the oars with both hands, Liu Fengwu looked back again.Now the shore has become blurred, and the figures are small, vaguely resembling the appearance when the broken bugle set off.Even though she knew that she would be able to see them again tomorrow, Liu Fengwu still felt that she had been separated from her forever.He paddled faster, but the tears in his eyes couldn't hold back at last, they rushed out, flowed to his cheeks and were blown away by the sea wind, scattered like stars, flying with the wind.

At this time, the soldiers on the boat were grilling the big fish. The fish was about the size of a person and weighed hundreds of catties. It was cut into pieces and grilled on the charcoal fire until it was full of fat and fragrance. Beef and mutton.The soldiers sprinkled some salt and seasoning on the grilled fish, and they ate happily one by one.There were another 180 or 90 of them, sitting in piles here and there on the deck.The chief who was born as a hunter gave Liu Fengwu a few pieces of good fish. Seeing that most of the soldiers rowing to send them off had already returned, Liu Fengwu only rowed halfway, so he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I often see you with a straight face." It turned out to be a sentimental seed." A soldier next to him said: "Exactly, the control is so unsmiling, and it turned out that he would make mistakes because of the little girl. Haha."

At this time, a soldier came over with a full belch and said, "Old Tian, ​​you still have some good fish, give me a piece." Na Shichang reprimanded: "These two pieces are for Liu Tongzhi, you go and cut a piece from the tail of the fish, I won't give it here." The soldier said: "I don't know what happened to the salt today. It tastes a bit strange, but it tastes bland without adding salt. It's really strange. The taste of sea fish is also bland." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled shout in the cabin. The soldier was cutting fish in his hands, and he couldn't help being startled when he heard the sound.The sound was like a giant beast was locked in the bilge.

Tian Shichang stood up abruptly, and shouted, "What happened?" The sound rolled over like a big iron ball, and suddenly broke the side of the hull of the warship. The soldiers on the deck were having a barbecue, and they were completely defenseless. Stay on one side.He supported a person beside him and shouted loudly: "What's wrong? Go check the bottom cabin!" A soldier at the hatch was about to go to the bottom cabin, but just as he took the next step, he suddenly felt a scorching heat on his face, as if a sun was rushing towards him, he opened his mouth wide, and before he could cry As soon as the sound came out, a pillar of fire had engulfed his whole body, burning him into coke almost in the blink of an eye.

Liu Fengwu was rowing the boat at this time, the waves at the bow of the boat suddenly became bigger, he didn't know what happened, so he took the boat and looked up.As soon as I saw it, I almost fainted from fright. A fireball rose from the broken bugle, as if a gigantic flower suddenly bloomed from the middle of the broken bugle. Flames spewed out from the ball-shaped smoke screen, and it was still growing, with a rumbling sound , so that the sea is constantly turbulent.The flames were everywhere, and the soldiers, cables, masts, and even the iron anchors on the deck were swept away. The broken bugle broke into two halves!This huge ship known as the "Pride of the Empire" actually broke from it in the blink of an eye.From the fracture, the burning pieces of wood were still shooting out, and it seemed that there were still burning soldiers struggling among them, but the fire was so intense that even if they jumped into the sea, they might not be able to save their lives. Liu Fengwu bit her lip tightly, paddling desperately.His teeth had bitten his lip, but he didn't know it.The broken bugle's body was slowly sinking into the water, creating vortices around it, and the waves were even bigger. Every step required great effort. Liu Fengwu waved his arms, as if he had fallen into the water. In a nightmare. There were two small boats that had sent the boys and girls to the boats, and the soldiers on those two boats were dumbfounded when this happened.The soldiers on the Broken Bugle who had been sitting close to the side escaped the flames, and once in the water they desperately clung to the boat. The two soldiers were at a loss. A boat that was originally limited to twelve people was now crowded with more than thirty people. People, the boat was wobbly, as if it was about to capsize, and there were nearly twenty people sitting in the other boat, and there were still a dozen people struggling desperately in the water, swimming towards the boat.But the vortex seemed to have a huge suction force, those who were far away escaped, while those who were closer were sucked in by the vortex, and they were submerged immediately, unable to float up again. When Liu Fengwu rowed to him, a small boat finally couldn't keep its balance, and it capsized all of a sudden, all the people on board fell into the water, and there was another scream.Liu Fengwu rowed over and shouted: "Come quickly!" The soldiers swam desperately.But under their horror, they were already exhausted. At this time, the broken bugle had already sunk halfway, and the vortex it stirred up was even bigger. Several soldiers who thought they had escaped were sucked in again, and they uttered panic. There were screams, but the vortex seemed to have endless suction, sucking them in. Once those people disappeared, they lost their voices, but there were still a few hands on the vortex, stretching out and shaking on the water. Liu Fengwu's boat was also taken by the whirlpool, he rowed out desperately, and shouted: "Come here quickly! Come here quickly!" There are still more than 20 people on the sea, and there are already 20 people in another small boat. More than a dozen people were also desperately trying to row away from the vortex. The waves were so big that they had to pay several times more force than before for each foot. not far. Two strong soldiers had climbed onto Liu Fengwu's boat, and Liu Fengwu shouted: "What's wrong? How did it explode? Did you have an accident with the barbecue?" Before they set off, the Ministry of Industry had already developed some powerful fire mines, but they didn't bring any of them to the sea this time. How could it explode?One of the two soldiers went to see off people with Liu Fengwu, and he hadn't gotten on the boat yet, so he couldn't figure it out, and the other soldier said: "Liu Tongzhi, we don't know, it's just that the fire started from the bilge ,Do not know why." If it exploded on the deck, it would not be a serious problem to break the solidity of the bugle, and at most blow up some of the railings.The broken bugle sank so quickly and was broken in two, which means that the bilge exploded.There are five floors in the broken bugle, and the bottom layer is some ballast stones, and some bulky objects that are not commonly used. It is said that they will explode inexplicably, which is really incomprehensible. At this time, nearly 20 soldiers swam to Liu Fengwu's boat, one by one scrambling to climb onto the boat, shaking the boat to this side. If this continues, the boat will also capsize.Liu Fengwu clearly knew this was the case, but he still couldn't bear to say that, he just said: "Come one by one, and help after you come up, don't make a mess!" The soldiers who climbed into the boat were constantly pulling up the soldiers who were still in the water. One of them was pulling a soldier halfway up in the water, when suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the soldier in the water pulled him into the water instead. inside.The man in the water didn't know what was going on, he was startled and frightened, and saw that the man who was pulling him just now was already floating on the surface of the sea, his chest was still twitching, but blood was bleeding from his mouth, and he screamed in fright.At this time, another wave hit, and the two of them were submerged in the water at the same time, and they did not float up again. As if they were infected, many soldiers in the water and on board began to vomit, and some of them began to vomit blood.There were still five or six soldiers in the sea, but these five or six soldiers did not vomit blood, and their strength became weaker and weaker, and they were farther away from Liu Fengwu's boat. What exactly is going on?Liu Fengwu was at a loss, when a soldier shouted: "Liu Tongzhi, the whirlpool is coming, paddle quickly!" He hadn't vomited blood yet, and he didn't have a paddle in his hand, so he paddled desperately in the water with his hands.Liu Fengwu suddenly forgot, and looked up, only to see that there was only the last section of the broken bugle exposed above the water, and there was a sailor standing there on the top, but now the surroundings were full of urgent and deep whirlpools, he It will be swallowed as soon as it enters the water, and it is holding on to the mast and does not know what to do.The vortex became even more urgent, and Liu Fengwu's boat was also swayed non-stop. Liu Fengwu wrenched the oars in his hand violently, but the boat only moved a short distance like a weak old horse.At this time, the soldier suddenly pushed a soldier beside him who vomited blood and passed out into the sea, with a "boom", the man had passed out, fell into the sea without making a sound, and was taken away by the whirlpool. At this time, I could only hear a scream from the small boat over there, and when I looked over, I saw that the boat had been caught by a vortex, and there were more than 20 people on board with hands and feet, but the boat just circled in place, and was instead taken by the vortex. Got to move to the wreckage of the broken bugle.The soldiers on board knew that they would die, but none of them dared to jump into the sea to escape. Liu Fengwu yelled at the soldier: "Don't throw away brother again! Otherwise, I'll throw you into the sea immediately!" The soldier was already pushing another soldier who vomited blood. The man had not lost consciousness and was struggling. Hearing Liu Fengwu's roar, the man trembled and said, "Controller, this boat is too heavy, you can't row it." move." "If I don't want to be rescued, I'd rather die in the sea!" Liu Fengwu's eyes were tearing apart, and his roar became hoarse.When he roared, he felt his tongue was both sweet and salty, probably the blood on his lips was still flowing out.He threw an oar to the man and said, "You paddle!"
