The sky is filled with stars.
Liu Qing felt a little dazed while half asleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Huo Qubing holding his official robe in his hands and walking out.
"I've disturbed you. I'm coming back to get my official robe and I have to go out."
Liu Qing trembled. When he heard that Huo Qubing was going out late at night, his sleepiness disappeared instantly and he turned over and sat up.
"The Huns raised an army?"
Huo Qubing said apologetically: "Instead of going to fight, the unsettling ship left by Qin Shi has appeared. I have to go and take a look. There should be no danger in the East China Sea."
"...Then I'll go too."
Liu Qing slowly got down from the couch. She was pregnant, with a big belly, and her posture was similar to that of a fat cicada moving around.
"You have such a big belly, don't go. It's too bumpy to ride a horse."
Liu Qing caressed his lower abdomen, nodded slightly, and walked closer to help Huo Qubing insert the cloak into the buckle of the shoulder armor.
"I'm leaving. I'll be back in two days at most."
Liu Qing watched Huo Qubing leave the room.
"Someone is coming."
"Your Highness." A maid came quickly from outside the door, waiting for instructions.
"Go and tell the other side that the Marquis is out of town for something and he won't be back until two or three days."
Over there, it refers to Zhuo Qingke.
In a moment, the sound of hooves in the mansion was like thunder, shattering the long night, and he left the city and galloped eastward.
On this trip, the Han army under Huo Qubing was a little different from before.
The Chang'an Forbidden Army is currently completing the initial equipment replacement of the Secret Pattern Army.
After the continuous conquest of Wusun, Dayuan, Dayuezhi, and other countries in the Western Regions, the horses of the Forbidden Army were also selectively improved, and the average horse was a first-class war horse with a strong and strong physique.
When these war horses run, their leg muscles tighten, and their kicks are obviously more powerful and explosive than those of other war horses.
The hooves were all replaced with new-style secret pattern horseshoes.
Saddles and bridles are also matching secret pattern equipment.
These harnesses emit a dim green light after the horses start running. The horse's weight has not increased, but its offensive and defensive capabilities have been greatly improved.
Wherever he passed by, secret patterns and void intertwined, like a strong wind blowing across the earth, and the speed increased slightly above the previous limit.
Huo Qubing silently felt the effect of the secret pattern equipment through the process of riding the horse, and he was also filled with joy.
He suggested delaying the attack on the Huns because the Han army's equipment was being updated.
Today's Han Dynasty is in a stage of rapid development and transcending the inherent historical route.
The Huns thought they were reuniting their forces and wanted to make adjustments before attacking the Han with all their strength.
However, the longer time goes by, the greater the gap between them and Han will become.
"This harness is very useful."
After Xiao Qisheng waited for his troops to leave the city, they shouted and galloped with great joy.
…
To the east of Dahan, Donghai County is adjacent to the coastline.
Thick fog filled the sea, and a huge city loomed in the fog.
The city was shrouded in fog and the whole picture could not be seen clearly.
But the corner that appears faintly is already out of reach. There are battlements at the top of the city, forming an archery tower for shooting.
The city walls are covered with mysterious lines.
The wind blows and the fog gathers and disperses.
The city became clearer, and it turned out to be a huge ship with heavy buildings that was unimaginably huge.
It is as tall as a city, floating on the sea.
The giant ship did not sway at all under the wind and waves on the sea, and was as stable as a big mountain.
A hundred feet away from the giant ship, all the Imperial Guards led by Chen Qing were stunned, staring at the big ship in the fog, shocked: "Is there such a big ship in the world?"
“Is it possible that it’s an illusion, there’s something wrong with the surrounding fog, and the ship isn’t actually that big.
It would be unbelievable to see how huge it was. "
The tribesmen around Chen Qing were talking in low voices.
He himself was surprised by the size of the ship.
In the past, I heard legends that there was a huge ship left by the Qin Dynasty in the East China Sea, which was as big as a city and appeared on the coastline.
Seeing it with my own eyes at this time was so shocking that it was simply indescribable.
"Silence, something's not right with that ship."
"It has been around for two hours, Captain Chen, can we take action?" an adjutant reminded.
Chen Qing stared at the giant ship in the mist with bright eyes:
"The Marquis said that the things left by Emperor Qin contain special secrets. The collapse of the Qin Dynasty may be related to some secrets from that period.
The same goes for this ship. Unless the Marquis has no choice, just keep an eye on it and don't take action. "
Chen Qinghui glanced in the direction of the coastline.
They were not far from the coastline, about two thousand feet away.
"After the ship appeared, we spread the news. The Marquis, Fu Luzhi, Zhao Ponu and others were all on the way. Even if we wanted to take action, we would at least have to wait for Fu Luzhi or Zhao Ponu to arrive nearby. .
The size of this ship is not enough for us people. "
"There are people on board..." a Han soldier suddenly whispered.
Through the fog, looking at the bow of the ship, there are indeed figures emerging and moving.
The deck was slowly becoming lively.
It seemed as if the entire ship was walking out of the cabin and onto the bow.
There are still lights flickering on the boat.
"This damn girl is really someone."
"People along the East China Sea have always said that this is a ghost ship. Some fishermen heard chatter coming out of the boat when it was born. If there are chatter on a ship that is hundreds of years old, it must be a ghost."
"There are also fishermen along the coast who say this is the ship of the Sea Dragon King, and there is a dragon living on the ship!"
"Captain, look quickly."
At this time, new changes occurred on the ship.
The huge bronze anchor on the side of the ship slowly rose, as if the people on the ship were about to take up the anchor and set sail, intending to leave.
In the fog at the bow of the ship, a figure gradually became clearer. He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked towards where Chen Qing and others were.
He seemed to be a middle-aged man, dressed in Qin Dynasty clothes, with a calm demeanor.
That person had obviously discovered that Chen Qing and others were following him.
Boom--boom!
The sound of war drums suddenly sounded on the ship.
It is low, desolate, and has a strange rhythm. The sound of the drum seems to penetrate into the human body, drive the blood vessels, and even the heartbeat vibrates with it.
Some Han soldiers said: "Do you have any strange thoughts? If the drumming stops, my heartbeat will also stop..."
The other Han soldiers looked at their companions and all had similar thoughts.
Chen Qing also has it.
The ship seemed to have an unknown power affecting those who tried to get close to it.
"Prepare for war!" Chen Qing took a breath.
At this time, the wind on the sea suddenly increased and blew away the fog.
The scene on the deck of the big ship was completely revealed.
Someone is really beating the drum!
He was a very tall man, burly and strong. His bare upper body was covered with incantations. He was waving drumsticks, and the muscles on his body were trembling with force.
His face was also painted with lines, like an ancient ancestor.
There are also some people who are bowing to something on the deck.
The whole process is like a sacrificial ceremony.
Those who were prostrating stood up and walked around the bow of the ship in a circle, with strange steps and trembling feet, like a dance during a sacrifice, and as if they were worshiping the gods.
"Will their sacrifices have something to do with us..."
Suddenly, Chen Qing and others noticed that the speed of the ship under their feet increased sharply, and they quickly approached the big ship like a sharp arrow.
“There’s something under the water tugging at the boat!”
Chen Qing said angrily: "Now that we've been discovered, let's fight this ship with open swords and guns, and gather our troops together! Let's beat the drums too!"
Fifteen hundred Han troops, scattered on more than ten small and medium-sized ships mobilized along the coast, agreed in unison after hearing the words.
The soldiers gathered together, and a war sword was cast and emerged, pointing diagonally towards the sky.
The fog on the sea surface was penetrated by the sharp edge of this big sword and quickly dissipated.
Some kind of force that was dragging the ship they were on under the boat and approaching the big ship quietly disappeared after the soldiers appeared.
The boat speed slowed down again, and the feeling of heart palpitations before was also weakening.
"The things on the ship are afraid of our soldiers?!"
At this time, the scene on the bow of the ship became clearer as the distance got closer.
The boat was really full of people.
The Qin army stood on the side of the hull.
They wore Qin Dynasty armor.
At the very front of the bow was a middle-aged man, looking at the boat that Chen Qing and others were riding in the distance.
The sea was calm.
The two parties stared at each other in silence.
On the big ship, the figure waved his hand.
The ship's speed suddenly increased and it was ready to leave for the deep sea.
"That man is the leader of the alchemists sent overseas by Emperor Qin to search for immortals?"
Chen Qing thought for a while and said loudly: "Let go of the Jiangsuo!"
On the ship where the Han army was located, there were soldiers lying on their backs, pushing forward with their legs, and drawing large crossbows.
When the crossbow is fired, it carries a long rope and shoots towards the giant ship in a parabola.
There are hooks at the other end of the long ropes, and they are hung one after another on the deck of the ship.
"Come aboard!"
Entering combat mode, the Han army's momentum continued to rise.
Chen Qing ordered to tighten the long rope and get closer to board the ship.
At this moment, there were waves of low roars on the ship.
The textures on the boat seem to come alive.
These textures converge to create a dragon-headed creature that protrudes from the bow of the ship and roars deafeningly.
The sea was rough.
Chen Qing's boat shook violently and was almost capsized by the waves.
The long ropes they hung on the boat were also cut by a force and fell off one after another.
boom!
On the bow of the Qin Dynasty's big ship, a stream of mist appeared as thick as water.
The entire bow of the ship was shrouded in it, and suddenly, a huge thing swam out of the fog on the bow of the ship and rushed into the sea.
"It looks like a dragon!" A Han army whispered.
The voice was filled with fear.
If there really is a dragon on the ship, it is simply not something that human beings can match.
"Nonsense...where did the dragon come from!"
Before Chen Qing's scolding voice could be heard, the ship shook under his feet.
A huge force surged from the bottom of the sea, and the ship was instantly lifted into the air and capsized.
Chen Qingren was in mid-air when he saw a head protruding from the sea below, with a ferocious face.
Clang!
He drew his sword in mid-air, and the sword flashed with lightning: "Help me, all the troops, kill it!"
The long knife fell and sparks shot out!
The surface of the head protruding from the sea seemed to have a layer of iron armor.
Chen Qing's long knife fell, causing his arm to go numb.
At the same time as he took action, he saw the appearance of the thing clearly and couldn't help but be horrified.
This giant thing really looks like a dragon, with ferocious horns and thick scales on its surface. Just its head above the water is as big as a mountain.
Chen Qing's figure rose again thanks to the reaction force of the collision.
He swung his sword in a series of chops, but he was secretly shocked, knowing that he was no match for that thing under the sea.
Even if this giant thing is not a real dragon, it is not far off, and it is far beyond his power to deal with.
Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air, and Zhao Ponu's voice sounded from a distance: "Chen Qing, I'm here to help you!"
He rushed over from the neighboring Langya County first.
The ship Zhao Ponu was riding approached from a distance. The Han troops on the ship fired continuously with their bows to form a cover.
Zhao Ponu threw an arm shield from the air and held it at Chen Qing's feet.
Chen Qing spun in the air, stepped on the arm shield, and soared into the air again, avoiding an attack from the underwater giant.
Zhao Ponu threw the arm shield continuously, and Chen Qing was able to step on the shield. After a few breaths, he reunited with Zhao Ponu and landed on the boat.
These few breaths just now were life and death in a blink of an eye, and if you miss it even slightly, you will be in danger.
Zhao Ponu immediately presented a formation map: "The formation map was rewarded by the Marquis for meritorious service during the last expedition, so I can use it in case of danger."
The next moment, the formation diagram was activated, the Han army's troops were connected, and the ship they were traveling on was suddenly covered by a qi machine.
Concealing the truth.
The ship disappeared, and the Han soldiers who fell into the water were rescued one after another on neighboring ships.
At this time, the monster that looked like a dragon but not a dragon under the sea seemed to disappear along with their disappearance.
The sea was calm and unruffled.
Zhao Ponu and others hid in the dark and secretly watched the big ship.
On the boat, the sacrificial process continued.
A voice sounded from the ship and drifted in the wind: "Your Majesty has died and passed away, Your Majesty has passed away and passed away!"
"What are they doing?"
"It's like a funeral. Isn't Emperor Qin's body not in the imperial mausoleum, but on this boat? Otherwise, why would they give it a funeral?"
Chen Qing and Zhao Ponu whispered.
The night passed and it was time for the sky to dawn.
Chen Qing and Chen Qing suddenly felt something and turned to look.
On the sea in the distance, a man was walking on the waves, faster than a galloping horse, and headed straight for the heavy ship.
The sea beneath the man's feet was suppressed by a force of energy. Every time he took a step, the sea surface would have texture, sinking in and out within a few feet.
The waves on the sea were suppressed by human power, making him walk on the sea as if he were walking on flat ground.
The man immediately rushed up and landed on the heavy ship like a cannonball.
"It's the Marquis who is here!" Chen Qing and Zhao Ponu were overjoyed.
The man who boarded the ship was wearing the robe of a doctor, and he was none other than the champion.
