"Hey." Cheng Feng waved his hand very helpfully, "You and I brothers don't have to pat the horses, hahahaha!"
Although Cheng Feng was much older than Li Ke, Li Ke was not polite. He sat on another chair that had just been moved and crossed his legs and said proudly: "Old Cheng, have you figured out how to defeat the island in front of you?"
"Hehe." Cheng Feng picked up a large bowl of ice-cold sour plums from the side and handed it over, "Is there any point in fighting? The generals have already made arrangements."
The Tang Dynasty Navy had its own pattern of operations. A large number of large and small warships had launched a circular encirclement under the urging of drum trumpets.
In addition to the heavily armored turtle ships blocking the island's exit, there were also warships hurling large kerosene cans toward the jungle, preparing to burn a path to attack the circular inner lake from two directions.
The sea breeze is hunting and the drums and trumpets are ringing. It seems that the Yangzhou Navy does not intend to let any pirates go.
Li Ke swallowed the whole bowl of ice-cold sour plum juice and gave Cheng Feng a thumbs up again, "Old Cheng knows people well and is good at their duties. I will definitely win this battle in one go."
The green-faced warriors on the pirates had suffered considerable losses, and it was difficult to organize a strong military formation. Under the comprehensive siege of the Yangzhou Navy, there was no other way but to destroy them.
Cheng Feng untied his bindings...oh no, it was the ropes that fixed him, and stood up as big as haha.
He was filled with excitement as he watched the warship collapse and fly into the jungle with powerful flaming arrows.
The Yangzhou Navy didn't hesitate at all, and the powerful fire arrows split into the air, shooting out balls of flames.
The jungle then burst into flames, billowing into the sky under the fierce sunlight.
The rolling world crackled and exploded, and the frightened snakes and beasts danced and writhed.
It was like a scene from hell, with waves rising into the sky amidst the roars of the navy officers and soldiers.
The sea breeze was strong, Cheng Feng looked at the majestic everything in front of him, and proudly put his hands behind his back.
This is a road of flames, just like a bloody road leading to the throne of Prime Minister...
Li Ke took away Cheng Feng's jar of iced sour plums and sat down cross-legged in a secluded place on the deck.
Until now, I haven’t had time to look at the paper taken out of Cyclops’ Mulan Boat.
This thing is really important, otherwise the one-eyed dragon would not allocate so many manpower to pursue and claim it.
Looking at the string of cargo records on the paper, Li Ke was so horrified that he even forgot that he was holding a bowl of cold sour plum juice in his other hand.
The plum juice slowly smoked under the harsh sunlight, and seemed to be igniting a raging fire like the island behind it.
The cargo records not only contain records of pirate robberies, but also salt! And iron!
Wu Meiniang's wealth is full of salt in the cabin.
The power of Wu Meiniang, the black armored iron refined and forged to a high standard.
The chilled sour plums in my hands seemed to be burning hot.
Li Ke couldn't help but take a breath when he looked at the last piece of paper.
A map, a yellowing map leading to the southern jungle...
Li Ke stood at the stern of the ship, looking at the surging waves of the spacecraft, and then raised his eyes to look at the small caravan being dragged in the waves, his thoughts flying.
Looking up at the far trailing track again, the distant Dou Beast Island has been abandoned thousands of miles behind.
The battle on Dou Beast Island was not as cruel as imagined.
Before Cheng Feng could enter the ring-shaped inner lake, the sinister one-eyed dragon had already ordered the remaining green-faced warriors to kill all the pirates, and then set fire to all the pirate ships. The thick smoke even lasted the entire day. The circular island cannot be dispersed...
So decisive, the decisive Cyclops left nothing to Cheng Feng except a boatload of gold to be salvaged.
A white seagull flew by quickly, its hard wings fluttering against the surging waves.
Li Ke turned around and saw Xing Haizhong walking towards the stern of the ship.
This man, who had been on a sea-going ship since childhood, was tanned all over, but with a smile on his rugged red face, he jumped up the steps at the stern of the ship with one kick of his strong sea-footed feet.
Li Ke also laughed because he saw the delicious food.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Xing Haizhong put down the big wooden plate and entertained him warmly.
A plate of whole grilled large fish, with the aroma of burning heat rising from the knife marks cut along the keel.
With superb skills, although grilled fish is just a common thing for boatmen at sea, Li Ke still took out his knife and ate it to his heart's content.
This is a carefully selected sea fish, which has no other small spines except the keel. It is considered to be the best meat.
Xing Haizhong laughed loudly, "This fish is just like a fish. Next year when I come back from Millstone, I will definitely give your Majesty a camel bird. That will be delicious!"
The llama bird is the ostrich. It has a long neck and long legs, but it is too stupid to fly.
Millstone is the place where there are kangaroos. In the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, it has not been destroyed by the bastards who "lyed, framed, and stole".
However, it seems that this time and space does not even exist in England, and I don’t know how the warriors of the Roman Empire are doing now...
Li Ke chewed the delicious grilled fish and imagined the prehistoric giant beasts walking clumsily on the Molishite Continent. "Old Xing, the natives on the Mollishite Continent are kind-hearted. Can you get more iron tools and pull one?" The fleet is going to build a new Chang'an or a new Luoyang?"
Although the natives may not be kind, the iron tools may not be ordinary iron tools.
But his continent is too rich in resources. If those bastards from England who "lyed, framed, and stole" got ahead of them, wouldn't it make people hate him for nothing?
Xing Haizhong laughed and said, "It's impossible. The millstone is full of sand and dwarf trees. Giant beasts are rampant and the seasons are wrong. I, a Tang Dynasty man, can't live in the soil and water. I'm going to get some rare and exotic animals to sell to the nobles." It’s enough to make a fortune.”
Unexpectedly, Xing Haizhong had not only traveled such a long distance, but had also tested his acclimatization to living in Molishi. Li Ke gave a thumbs up in admiration and said: "Amazing!"
Overseas acclimatization is a big problem, which can only be solved gradually after breakthroughs in medical development.
Xing Haizhong continued: "My ship is almost empty. If I return with a full load next year, I can get half a lifetime of glory. Your Majesty is wise and courageous, why don't we come together..."
An invitation that had been thought about for a long time was so sincere that even the boatmen passing by quietly pricked up their ears. They had long known and hoped that Li Ke could join this long sea journey.
Moreover, this journey was not affected by the robbery of Dou Beast Island, and even became more determined.
Li Ke laughed, cut off another piece of fish meat and said: "Old Xing, you think highly of me too much, but I have a responsibility now and dare not let it go, otherwise my fierce boss will never let me off lightly."
Not only will they not be lenient...
But who is Li Ke’s immediate boss?
Xing Haizhong was disappointed but didn't dare to ask, so he had to smile awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is a person who does great things. With your majestic strength, you will inevitably have a lifetime of glory. I admire you."
