Lin Wen fled to the Dragon King Temple overnight. When he saw the old temple master, he was already a little confused and kept mumbling Liu Qi's name.
The temple owner took him into the alchemy room and asked: "Why is the island owner so unhappy after resolving the enemy's misfortune?"
"What kind of trouble are you trying to solve?" Lin Wen became furious and shouted: "Where is Xuan Zhizi?"
The viewer twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Yin and Yang are interdependent, and misfortunes and blessings are interdependent. Why should the island owner be angry? My nephew is waiting for the island owner in the back hall."
"Hmph, he still has the nerve to see me?" Lin Wen got up and ran into the back hall.
Xuan Zhizi was meditating with his eyes closed. When he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the island owner for returning victoriously."
"What a win!" Lin Wen cursed loudly, pointed at Xuan Zhizi and said loudly: "You didn't help me get rid of the evil. Now not only have I lost the battle, but Shenlong Island has also been lost. You have to be responsible for this!"
Xuan Zhizi shook his head and smiled, motioned Lin Wen to sit down, and said with enthusiasm: "Who is the enemy of the island master?"
"Of course it's Liu Qi!"
"Who is Liu Qi?"
"The son of Liu Biao of Jingzhou..." Lin Wen said a few words and then said impatiently: "Does the Taoist priest not even know about him?"
Xuan Zhizi smiled and said: "The poor Taoist naturally knows that the Liu family is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Does the island owner know what the virtues of the Han Dynasty are among the five elements?"
Lin Wen frowned slightly and replied: "Yan Han is naturally a fire virtue!"
"That's it!" Xuan Zhizi nodded and said: "The wood makes a fire. The island owner is fighting with Liu Qi to help his military power. Although the poor Taoist can relieve the island owner of the white tiger evil, the big man is the destiny of the country. Who can change it?" ?”
"Mu Shenghuo, are you saying... I am destined to make wedding clothes for the Liu family?"
Lin Wen pointed to his nose, looking confused. Could this be his destiny?
Xuan Zhizi smiled and said: "Serving the imperial court and being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, revitalizing the Yan Han Dynasty and establishing meritorious deeds are the ambitions of a man. The island owner is ambitious, so why should he be obsessed with it?"
Lin Wen snorted slightly, looked at Xuan Zhizi and asked, "Let's see, Taoist Master, if I have the potential to rise to great heights?"
"Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather have your own kind? Your destiny is in your own hands."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Lin Wen looked back and saw an elegant young man standing tall, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a moon-white cardigan, with an innate nobility between his brows.
Behind him, there was an old man with a long beard, but he was eight feet tall, with a murderous look between his brows, and no signs of old age at all.
"Who are you?" Lin Wen realized that the situation was not good and looked at the two of them warily.
"I'm here, General Liu Qi of Zhennan!" The man clasped his fists and smiled: "I have admired the name of the island master for a long time, and I can see you today..."
"Huh? You...you--"
Lin Wen's expression changed greatly, he took two steps back, pointed at Xuan Zhizi and Liu Qi, and was speechless.
Xuan Zhizi clasped his fists and said, "Island Master, I'm telling you the truth, I am General Zhennan and he is joining the army, Xu Shu, and you are my son Yuanzhi. Everything before was under the control of General Liu. Why do you need to be stubborn now?"
Lin Wen stood there in shock for a long time before he realized that he had already fallen into the trap. Thinking of the past, he felt more and more terrible about Liu Qi, and his heart suddenly became filled with despair.
After a long while, Lin Wen bowed helplessly and said: "I should not have offended the general. I am willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light. I hope the general will forgive me."
Liu Qi stepped forward to help Lin Wen up and said with a smile: "Island Master doesn't have to be like this. I have carefully planned this. Firstly, I don't want to cause more killings. Secondly, I also pity the Island Master's talents. If I can serve the imperial court, I will definitely make meritorious deeds."
Lin Wen smiled bitterly and said: "I am stupid and don't know that I have fallen into the trap. How can I be respected by the general?"
"The Lingjiao Ship is the best proof!" Liu Qi gestured for everyone to take a seat and said with a smile: "I am planning to form a Jingzhou navy and renovate the warships. Since the island owner is good at this, he has full authority to entrust this matter."
"Seriously?" Lin Wen suddenly became a little nervous, his heart beating wildly, he swallowed unconsciously, and then said with a bitter smile: "The spiritual dragon ship has been destroyed by the general, so it is not worth mentioning."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "The island owner installed a water wheel on the bottom of the boat to speed up the boat. It is indeed ingenious. Although I have found a way to solve it, the spiritual dragon boat can still do a lot. This change alone can greatly improve the naval warfare. force."
"Are you serious?" Lin Wen looked at Liu Qi with surprise and uncertainty, not knowing whether he was praising or ridiculing him.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Of course, although there are craftsmen in the army today, they are all step-by-step and stick to the rules. They are lacking people like the island master who are good at transformation. Sharp weapons in the army are the key to victory."
"General, do you really value the spiritual dragon boat so much?" Lin Wen's eyes shone brightly, and he didn't expect that Liu Qi didn't even have the slightest intention of despising and ridiculing him.
"That's right!" Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "I also have some ideas about shipbuilding. If we can discuss it with the island owner and improve it together, our goal is not the waters of Dongting, nor the Yangtze River, but the sea of stars. !”
"General Liu!" Lin Wen was greatly moved when he saw Liu Qi's sincerity. He knelt on the ground with a plop: "Lin Wen is willing to go through fire and water for the general, even if he wants to die."
"Please get up quickly!" Liu Qi was overjoyed and accepted Lin Wen. He just gained an additional scientific and technological talent.
According to Lin Wen, there are more than 300 shipbuilding craftsmen on the island. These are rare resources. Craftsmen are not valued in this era, but Liu Qi knows their importance.
Technology is the primary productive force, especially in military factories, where top talents are needed. If a group of backbones can be selected, the structure of the shipbuilding company will be completed.
Although Zhou Yu has been training the navy in Chaisang for a long time, and the Jingzhou navy is tepid under the leadership of Cai Mao, Liu Qi believes that as long as Lin Wen realizes his superficial shipbuilding technology, it will be easy to catch up with Soochow within three to five years. .
Everyone met again, and Xu Shu invited Zhou Buyi's mother and son out to see Liu Qi. Lin Wen apologized to the two of them. Everyone was very happy, boarded the spiritual dragon boat and hurried back to Shenlong Island.
Along the way, Liu Qi and Lin Wen briefly talked about the modification of warships, such as changing the entire cabin into sub-cabins, which can not only strengthen the bottom of the ship and store items, but also modify the mother ship, dragon boat, etc. Lin Wen's eyebrows were flying when he heard it, and he couldn't bear to say it. He kept clapping his hands and applauding.
Many of Liu Qi's ideas made Lin Wen feel like he was too late to meet again, but he realized that he was complacent in renovating the spiritual dragon boat in the past. It was really a waste of life and wasted years, and he wished he could put it into production right away.
Xu Shu listened to the side and seemed to understand, and said in astonishment: "I don't think the general knows the art of shipbuilding."
Liu Qi waved his hand modestly: "I understand a little bit."
Gan Ning had completely controlled the island. Most of the thieves were drunk by Zhang Yan and were captured alive. When they were sober, they saw that the officers and soldiers had landed on the island. Knowing that the situation was over, they surrendered one after another.
After Lin Wen arrived on the island, he summoned the leaders Qu Shuai and explained his intention to surrender. The rebels all cheered. Finally, like their companions on Wangyue Island, they could change their evil ways and return to the right way, and they were proud and proud.
Liu Qi announced that Shenlong Island would be changed to Chuanfang Island and become a shipbuilding base for the Jingzhou Navy. Future warships would be developed and produced here and put into use after successful testing.
That night, the lights on the island were brightly lit, and the whole army was celebrating. Lin Wen got drunk and felt the joy of life for the first time after he was relieved of his burdens and burdens.
