Su Erniang and Yun'er stood on both sides of Liu Yong, looking at the horizon that did not see the sky.

Little Muhammad stood behind Liu Yong.

I saw Liu Yongyi wave his hand, and a trombone sounded, thick and loud. Then a trumpet sounded. Liu Yong was still looking ahead, his gaze more determined than ever.

After a while, several wide shadows covered Liu Yong, and he knew that it was the shadow of the sails. Then his gaze began to move, and the ship slowly started.

Liu Yong took a deep breath, this will be his new adventure, a new beginning.

The sea breeze blows, the seabirds take off, and the blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see. Liu Yongheng stood at the bow of the boat for a long time, and a sense of pride suddenly appeared. Captain, this is his new identity.

At this time, the first mate came to report that the ship was now moving slower, and whether it was necessary to speed up.

Liu Yong told him that his reasons were upright.

The first mate nodded and said, "The subordinates know." The voyage of a new ship should be accelerated slowly. ”

"Okay, so be it." Liu Yong said.

The first mate went, and Liu Yong continued to look at the sea line, he had asked before, under normal circumstances, the time for the fleet to reach the Persian Gulf should be three months later. Not necessarily if there is an unexpected situation at sea.

Three months is indeed slow and tedious to drift at sea, but it is new for a first-time voyager like Liu Yong. Although there are dangers at sea, it is exciting.

And the route of the fleet is also very mature, that is, from Canton all the way to the southwest, then through the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean, then west around Sri Lanka into the Arabian Gulf, and then north to the Kingdom of Oman, but they do not stay there, but enter the Persian Gulf until the top of the Persian Gulf Khomeini Port, which is also to the Turkic Dynasty. At that time, Iran was ruled by the Turks, until it was ruled by Genghis Khan in the later period, and became the Ilkhanate.

When the Turkic Dynasty arrived, it was also at its destination, and it was felt that it could trade with merchants wherever they came, and the merchants would transport the goods of the Great Song Dynasty from the land to all parts of Europe.

Of course, he will pass through Southeast Asian countries and West Asian countries along the way, but Liu Yong has no intention of stopping in those places, and his voyage will go directly to the destination of the trade, and then return with less Persian and Arab goods, and the way back is when he explores West Asia and Southeast Asia. He expects the expedition to take at least a year and a half.

And the important destinations of his investigation were the islands of Southeast Asia. For example, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

The weather is very good, and people's mood is happy, especially such a voyage, I can't help but feel fresh for Liu Yong, who is the first time the big girl gets on the sedan chair, and Su Erniang and Yun'er are the same.

At this time, Liu Yong also had time to communicate with little Muhammad. The young man had an Arab face, dark skin, and dark eyes. This guy's Chinese is very good, and there is no problem communicating with Liu Yong.

On the deck, on the bow of the ship, reflecting the sea breeze, little Muhammad told Liu Yong about what he had seen at sea and about his trade with the Persians.

Of course, as a captain and the big boss of the seafaring and ocean-going trade, he will not go out in person when it comes to trading. So Liu Yong also brought a businessman who was shipwrecked and bankrupt. He used to make a lot of money in the maritime trade, but a shipwreck killed all his efforts.

Liu Yong chose him, of course, not because he had been shipwrecked, but because of his experience in doing business with foreigners, and with the help of little Muhammad, his voyage was just a trip.

Doing marine trade, as long as you don't have an accident, you won't lose money, it should be very profitable.

The businessman's name was Jia Gang, he was in his early fifties, and he seemed to be very sophisticated.

Liu Yongrao listened with interest to little Muhammad's speech. The mood was happy, while Su Erniang and Yun'er were looking around on the deck, the boat was very large, more than 200 meters in front and behind. This is also the first voyage of the two of them, and it can be said that it is the first time to do a sea boat. Generally, the boats in rivers and lakes are much smaller.

The two women were very excited, running around on the deck, looking here and there, in fact, the scenery was the same in all directions. But in their eyes, it's different, this is the feeling of people who go to sea for the first time!

The sailors on deck knew that these two beautiful women were the captain's wife, and bowed down when they saw her.

The two of them also politely asked the family to get up.

Time passed quickly in the excitement of the novelty, and Liu Yong saw that a red sun was about to set into the sea to the west. Darkness is coming. In the summer, the sailing area is near the equator, so it is not cold at all, and the heat of the day dissipates a lot with the arrival of the sea breeze in the evening.

When it was time to finish eating, Liu Yong and the two ladies went down to the cabin. Because there are only three people, there is no need to go to the dining room to eat. It's in the small living room of Liu Yong's room.

Liu Yong's room has windows from the flower hall to the bedroom. It's breathable, so it's not hot at all.

The three of them had dinner together, which was very hearty, and Liu Yong also drank a few glasses of wine, full of interest.

After dinner, it was dark, and Yun'er had to go up to the deck to look at the stars and the moon. Liu Yong naturally accompanied her, and Su Erniang also followed.

When I went up to the deck and looked up, I saw that there were a lot of stars, and it was very low, and it felt like it was within reach.

Yun'er jumped excitedly. Su Erniang and Liu Yong also felt relaxed.

Looking at the stars in the night sky and listening to the sound of the waves, even a thousand boredoms will be empty at this time.

The three of them sat on the deck, which was still hot after a day of sunlight, and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Yun'er said that she slept on it at night.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "That's good, you sleep here, Sister Su and I go to sleep in my big bed." ”

As soon as Yun'er heard this, she hurriedly said that she would also sleep in a big bed.

Liu Yong and Su Erniang looked at each other and smiled.

Such a slow voyage on the sea gives people a very pleasant feeling. It's as if time has slowed down, and life has slowed down. In this slowness, you can enjoy the bits and pieces of life. Feel the tenderness that nature has bestowed.

If there were no sailors on deck, the three of them would be on a wandering island, where they would forget all their troubles and drift away with the island.

There is no disturbing worries here, no fetters of love and hatred, only simple life.
