After thirty ships were launched, the mighty team attracted a lot of attention wherever they went!
"It's true as His Highness the Crown Prince said, the further south you go, the higher the temperature will be!"
As Wang Li spoke, he used his hand as a cattail leaf fan to incite back and forth.
They have been out for more than ten days.
When it first entered the Weishui River, the steamer had to break through the ice all the way.
After leaving Nanhai County and entering the sea, it became hotter and hotter as we walked.
When setting off from Xianyang, everyone was wearing sweaters.
By the time they get here, let alone sweaters, they have the heart to be shirtless!
"Yes, what the prince says is never false!"
Xin Sheng nodded in agreement.
"General Xin, isn't it almost time for us to arrive...?"
Peng Yue held the telescope, turned it back and forth, and suddenly pointed at a dark thing in front of him in surprise and said, "Look, is it land over there?"
After drifting on the sea for so many days, everyone is almost hairy, and they are looking forward to seeing the island and feeling the down-to-earth feeling.
When Xin Sheng heard this, he quickly took out his telescope and looked at the position of Peng Yue's finger.
Sure enough, it is indeed land!
On the sea level, especially at such a long distance, the only island you can see is a thin black line.
"Speed up and sail straight ahead!"
They followed the navigation route map given by Xiao Zhengtai. According to normal circumstances, Nanyang should be in front of them.
"yes!"
The navy officers looked excitedly at the land that was gradually growing in front of them, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
After about an hour, the army was finally able to dock.
However, for safety reasons, after all the steamships came to a stop, Xin Sheng did not let them disembark immediately, but observed them on the shore for a while.
Then a small team was sent to investigate the situation!
The leaders must be Peng Yue and Fan Kuai.
If anyone dares to rob them, they must first ask about their fists as big as sandbags!
"Sure! Then you two will lead the investigation. Remember, pay attention to safety when you go!"
Xin Sheng confessed again and again.
"General, don't worry!"
The two of them smiled innocently and rode away with the others.
Xin Sheng and others were waiting on the boat.
But after waiting for a long time, the two men did not return with their troops.
The soldiers on the ship were waiting a little anxiously. They asked for help several times to get off the ship, but they were all rejected!
This is what Ying Feiyu specifically told before the navy left, to send a signal to those who went to inquire if they did not return for half a day.
If you don't come back for a whole day and a night, you should be more careful and send people to investigate again, and don't go to the island easily!
Because Xiao Zhengtai was not sure about the specific situation on the island.
Once the natives unite to deal with the outsiders, the navy officers will probably suffer!
"General Xin, it's been almost half a day, how about... let's send out a signal?"
A young soldier, sweating anxiously, asked tentatively.
Xin Sheng frowned, holding a telescope and looking into the woods on the shore, "Just wait, if there is any accident, they should send a signal!"
"Oh well!"
The soldier nodded and had to wait patiently.
Another half hour passed, and Xin Sheng could no longer bear his temper. Just as he was about to order someone to send out a signal, he heard the "clack-clack" sound of horse hooves.
"Back, it should be Peng Yue and the others!"
Xin Sheng was overjoyed and picked up the telescope and looked carefully in the direction of the sound.
After a while, Peng Yue and others emerged from the woods.
Moreover, they all had slings on their horses. They were bulging with bags, and I don’t know what they contained!
Behind them were some people who were wearing animal skins and were still half-naked.
All of them have dark skin and messy hair. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the natives the prince mentioned!
"Huh? Who are those people behind Fan Kuai and the others?"
Wang Li and the navy officers also discovered the natives and asked suspiciously.
"They must be natives, right?"
Xin Sheng put down the telescope and guessed.
"Then why are Peng Yue and the others loaded with bulging bags on their horses? Could it be that they robbed these natives and then captured them as slaves? Haha!"
Judging from the posture of those natives, they were very obedient, the naval officer said jokingly.
As Peng Yue and others got closer and closer, the expressions of the natives gradually began to change.
In the end, it turned into panic, and he rushed to the foot of the ship like crazy and worshiped!
"What's going on?"
The soldiers on the ship looked confused.
I thought before that these natives suddenly rushed over and were going to attack them.
Unexpectedly, after approaching the ship, he knelt down and kept kowtowing!
Good guy!
Unless they saw this huge reversal with their own eyes, they would not believe it!
Peng Yue sent some naval officers to guard the natives, while he and Fan Kuai ran to the ship to recover.
"What do they mean?"
After boarding the boat, Xin Sheng asked doubtfully.
"Haha! They probably regard the ship as a god!"
"God?"
This time Xin Sheng was even more confused.
I thought to myself: It’s terrible to be uneducated.
"They look really strange. Are they natives?"
Wang Li asked.
"Yes! They are the natives of this island!"
"My dear, the weather in Nanyang is really hot here. Look, they are all so tanned that they are as black as ink!"
The naval officer looked at the native and smiled mockingly.
"How did you bring them here? Can you understand what they said?"
Xin Sheng was puzzled.
"They, these people, probably don't even understand what they say. How can I understand them? They are all half-talking and half-guessing!"
Peng Yue waved his hand.
"Then why did you bring them back?"
Wang Li looked at the natives below who were kowtowing crazily and said in disgust.
"Doing business!"
"Business? They are all shady. They don't even have decent clothes. What can they trade with us?"
"Okay! Don't underestimate them, kid. These guys are all really rich! What did our little prince say... they are called... oh! By the way, they are called rich! They are But they are all real rich people!”
"Just them? Are they still rich?"
Wang Li curled his lips.
You don’t even have a complete set of clothes, how can you still be a rich man?
Not bad at all!
"Do not believe?"
"Do not believe!"
"Then you have to keep your eyes open!"
Peng Yue and Fan Kuai took off the robes they had just carried on their horses, opened them and showed them to everyone.
"Wow..."
It doesn't matter if it is opened, everyone's 24K alloy eyes will be blinded immediately.
The gold nuggets the size of fists, the gems the size of eggs, the pearls bigger than eyeballs, all colorful and colorful, made everyone stunned!
"This...this...are these all from that native?"
Wang Li was so shocked that he was speechless.
"That's right...!"
The two nodded firmly, "The nature of this place should be similar to that of Wo Island. The sea water often washes up some gems and emeralds, and these natives pick them up and take them home, but they don't know the value of these things. We I just used the water bag and dagger I had in exchange for it!"
"Hey! I'm talking about Lao Peng and Lao Fan, you two have become rich now!"
The naval officer immediately cast an envious look.
If I had known this, even if I had to fight with these two guys, I would still have to grab the job of exploring the path!
Not only can you record one achievement, but you can also gain so many treasures!
Good guy, if you take these things to Xianyang, you will immediately make a fortune!
