Although he knew that Okita's ship did not have a powerful long-range firearm, its appearance still made the atmosphere suddenly tense, and no matter how good Yu Piaoling's craftsmanship was, everyone didn't know how to eat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Sister Ruyu, you guessed it so accurately, Okita really followed. ”

Yu Piaoling in the lookout shouted.

After Liegang found Okita, Chang Wei fell into a dilemma, following Okita's ass, afraid that he would see through it after a long time;

"I'd rather be wrong. Yan Ruyu muttered, after all, the big seven and small seven islands are only seventy or eighty miles away from the mainland, and the Chen Qianshan Islands are far away, five or six hundred miles away from the mainland, which is nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the government only has a little control over the main island Chen Qianshan, and no one can say whether there are people living on the hundreds of large and small islands around them, and who they live in, even if there is no Okita, there is a considerable risk if they rush in.

"Master, why don't you just scuttle Okita's boat and drown them all?" Yu Piaoling said with a turn of his eyes.

Yan Ruyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Piaoling, look at how clear the sea is, where can you hide people? Before he could get close to the big ship, he was already discovered and shot to death with a bow and arrow." ”

"That'...... You can wait for the evening!"

"The field of vision at night is too small, and when I see Okita, the distance between the two ships is too close, Okita's ships have been modified, and there are many more sealed cabins under the water than usual, and it will not sink it for a while and a half, so it will be easy to be discovered by Okita, and it will be too late for us to run. Besides, it's only March now, and the sea is still very cold, and if you stay for a long time, even if you can't stand it. ”

"Hey, didn't you say that our boat was faster than Okita's?"

"If you only use the sail, our boat is faster than Okita, but Okita's boat has dozens of oars, this oars are usually not needed, but when the war starts, it is inevitable to use it to help the war, Piao Ling thinks, dozens of oars shake together, the boat must not fly, although it can't last long, but it is more than enough to catch up with us. ”

Yu Piaoling let out an 'oh' in frustration and stopped talking.

Yan Ruyu shook his head and said: "Actually, what this ship is most afraid of is the fire attack, and most of the ship's plate canvas has been treated with tung oil in order to be strong and waterproof, and it will burn immediately in case of fire......

"But we don't have rockets!" Yu Piaoling added.

Listening to the conversation between the two daughters, Chang Wei's heart suddenly moved, and a thought gradually floated in his mind: "Ruyu, when will you be able to reach Daheng Mountain?"

"At the current rate, it's probably tomorrow morning. Yan Ruyu calculated for a moment, and pointed out the current location of the ship to Chang Wei: "Of course, if you don't get lost, after passing Daishan, there will be no reference." ”

"Don't wait for Okita, go straight to Oyokoyama. Chang Wei said categorically: "This ship is obviously faster than Okita's, if it is always circling under his nose, even if it runs ahead of him, he will still be suspicious." Dahengshan is a freshwater base, so I'll bet on Okita to replenish fresh water there and see if I can burn Okita there!"

Dahengshan Island is the third largest island in this sea area after Zhoushan and Daishan, and according to Yan Ruyu, this is the last freshwater supply base for smuggling merchant ships sailing from Zhejiang and Fujian to Japan.

"But the Wang family of Dahengshan will not allow us to borrow his territory to attack Okita. ”

Yan Ruyu frowned and said: "Sister Qian has dealt with the Wang family, and they regard their family's status in Dahengshan as higher than anything else, and they will never joke about the rules they set." ”

"The rules are all set by people, besides, I just bought some firearms and gunpowder from Wang's family, and I didn't let them do it themselves, as long as the price is high enough, there is a possibility of a deal. Besides, Okita's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the Wang family is afraid that they will also feel uneasy--on the side of the couch, how can they allow others to sleep soundly?!"

Seeing that she still wanted to persuade her, Chang Wei patted her on the shoulder: "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and you always have to take some risks in the war, not to mention that we haven't entered the tiger's den yet! Okay, Ruyu, from now on to Daheng Mountain, this ship will be handed over to you." ”

Yan Ruyu saw that she couldn't convince Chang Wei, so she had to order to adjust the sails, measure five taels, and hang the wild solitary sail, these special terms popped out of her mouth one by one, at this time, she was completely a female general and captain, with a focused and confident expression.

The boys of the town shouted in response, and as they hurriedly pulled the ropes and adjusted the direction of the sails, glancing at the commanding man with astonishment and admiration, the speed of the ship increasing little by little, and the splashing of the bow of the ship grew louder and bigger.

Perhaps man is a naturally short-sighted animal, when Okita's big ship disappeared from view, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the bow of the boat sounded a loud fishing song, and after a while, He Chong's cheerful shouting came from the stern, only Qingluan locked himself in the cabin.

Looking at the blue sea and blue sky, the white clouds were rolling, and Chang Wei's heart was also happy: "Ruyu, soon I will build a steam ironclad ship!"

"Okay!" Yu Piaoling said excitedly.

Chang Wei laughed and said: "At that time, I specially built one to make a palace on the sea, and when the wind and sun were beautiful, I would take you to travel all over the world." ”

"Then buy a desert island and experience the life of paradise. Yu Piaoling looked yearning.

"Yes, then we can use the sky as a curtain, the earth as a seat, the white clouds as clothing, and the breeze as a wisp ......"

"This ...... It's not a savage. Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and smiled, but her eyes were already soft.

Yu Piaoling rolled into Chang Wei's arms with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Master, you are ...... Don't want good things!"

Looking down, under the rising sun, every trace of delicacy on Yu Piaoling's face is so real, untied the bundle of hair, green silk dances, one by one, it is indescribably lingering and compassionate; behind her, a delicate figure snuggled on the railing of the ship's side, the sea breeze blows the clothes tightly on the body, showing a graceful body, and it is also indescribably tempting and intoxicating.

"Then accompany my master to think of good things!"

Of course, he never really ecstasy, after coming to Ningbo, he almost didn't sleep for two days and one night, and there was a fierce battle in the middle, and his physical strength was quite strong, so that Chang Wei finally tasted the taste of more than enough and insufficient strength, and the boat was swaying like a cradle, and he fell asleep on the bed with his left and his right hugging Yan Ruyu, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, there was a faint sound of 'crackling' in my ears, I stood up and looked out, and under the night, the rain fell obliquely, hitting the boat and splashing a little water.

"It's Qingming rain!" Chang Wei yawned, it rained a lot during the Qingming Festival, this rain came on time, listening to the wind outside, he didn't worry much, and a burst of sleepiness came up again: "It's weird, I've slept for so long, why are you still sleepy?"

The thought was just a flash, the body had fallen down again, reached out and took Yu Piaoling, who was in a daze as if she was about to wake up, in her arms and patted it twice, and murmured: "It's okay, go to sleep!" As soon as his eyes were closed, he wanted to sleep.

Hmm? What is that sound?

In the sound of the rain hitting the side of the ship, there was a moan as thin as a pipe, Chang Wei turned over, and the moan immediately became almost inaudible, almost lifting the strength of the whole body to catch the source of the sound.

Next door to the left cabin, that's not ...... Qingluan's residence?

What kind of beautiful scene should this kind of voice match, Chang Wei was naturally clear, and the name of the ace aphrodisiac 'Spring Breeze One Degree Pill' suddenly jumped into his mind.

"But didn't she prepare the antidote in Zhaobao Town?"

The body moved again, and the two daughters were awakened, Yan Ruyu asked what time it was in a daze, and the sound next door stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of wind and rain breaking waves.

"It's getting dark, I'm afraid it's night!" Yu Piaoling reflexively got into her arms, and immediately felt Xiao Changwei who was about to move, she didn't know that it was the natural reaction of listening to the coquettish moaning next door, she secretly pinched it, and laughed quietly: "It's not honest to sleep!"

took out the exquisite pocket watch from Chang Wei's chest, opened it and looked at it, but he was surprised: "Hey, why hasn't the time arrived yet?!"

Chang Wei took the watch and looked at it, and sure enough, it was only three o'clock. Yan Ruyu was startled when she heard this, leaned on the window and looked at it, and was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Wei had already noticed that something was wrong, and he hurriedly got up. Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, she was stunned for a long time, suddenly jumped up from the bed, and rushed out without even putting on shoes.

When Chang Wei put on his clothes and walked out of the cabin, there was no sailor in sight on the deck, and he wanted to go back to the cabin to hide from the rain, and at the stern of the ship, Yan Ruyu, who seemed to be carefully experiencing the wind speed and direction with his arms outstretched, was like a statue, so solemn and solemn in the wind and rain.

Although the rain was not heavy, it was a long time, and her clothes were all drenched, but she didn't realize it.

Chang Wei knew that the stakes were high, and he didn't dare to disturb her. As her brows suddenly tightened and stretched, Chang Wei's heart also pounded, her eyes involuntarily swept over the black and oppressive sea, and an unprecedented tension and fear slowly captured her heart.

"It's fine. ”

It took a long stick of incense to hear Yan Ruyu slowly spit out two words, but after her eyes turned to Chang Wei, she seemed to be relieved, her shoulders collapsed, and her body fell down softly.

"Ruyu?!" Chang Wei took a step forward and hugged her in his arms, only to feel that she was trembling, knowing that she was frozen by the wind and rain, so he wanted to carry her back to the cabin, but heard her whisper: "Wait, can Xianggong find a plank?"

Her voice sounded extremely weak, as if she had exhausted all her mental strength during that time, Chang Wei guessed that this was a matter of life and death, and did not dare to disobey it, his eyes just fell on Yu Piaoling, but he heard a 'click' behind him, and when he looked back, Qingluan was walking out of the cabin with a wooden plank.

Don't care to see what is wrong with Qingluan, Chang Wei has already run to the bow of the boat according to Yan Ruyu's words, and threw the plank into the sea, the moment it fell on the sea, Chang Wei began to walk briskly towards the stern, and when Chang Wei reached the stern, the plank had already fallen about a foot behind the big boat.

"Sure enough......"

When Chang Wei carried Yan Ruyu back to the cabin and quickly took off her wet clothes, Yu Piaoling had already made a brazier, and by the way, pulled in Qingluan, who was standing outside the cabin door and hesitated. Yan Ruyu's red body was hugged by Chang Wei, who was also red for a while, and she seemed to ease up.

"Sister Ruyu, what's wrong?" Yu Piaoling asked worriedly while feeding Yan Ruyu to drink hot ginger soup, "Is this weather weird?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "It's only too early for Shen Shi, it's still very early before the sun sets, but the sky is already dark, which means that the clouds are very thick and cover the sun." But the clouds were so thick, but the rain was not heavy, and in my experience of sailing, it was likely that there was still a strong wind to come. ”

"There is a warm current in this area, this season, the warm current should go from south to north, if it is a south wind, the wind and waves will not be too big, but if it is a north wind, no matter how strong the wind is, the bad waves will come, our ship has a shallow draft, whether it can withstand it God knows!"

"Then it must be a south wind!"

Seeing Yan Ruyu's head, everyone relaxed, and even Qingluan, who was baking wet clothes for Chang Wei and Yan Ruyu, breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Piaoling stuck out her tongue and smiled at Chang Wei: "People say that those scholars who are well-educated are the Wenqu stars in the sky, and God can't let Grandpa Xiang, the Wenqu star, drown!"

Yu Piaoling said naïvely, but her thoughts were clear, Chang Wei asked Yan Ruyu again: "Then what are you doing by throwing that piece of wood? It looks like you are going faster than me or the boat, is it to measure the speed of the ship?"

Yan Ruyu nodded admiringly: "What Xiang Gong said is extremely true, it is used to measure the speed of the ship." The speed of the ship is calculated in terms of the change, and the result shows that the speed of the ship must be faster by two percent. He shook his head again: "Fang Cai Xianggong is in a hurry to go fast, and the speed of the ship should be faster." ”

"So, you don't have to wait for noon tomorrow, you should arrive at Dahengshan Island in the early morning!"

"It's hard to say. Yan Ruyu smiled bitterly: "This little south wind is the most harmful in the April sky, unconsciously raised the speed of the boat, and when it was found, it didn't know how long it had been blowing, and on a sunny day, it could also use the ocean star technique to measure its position, but now it can't see a star, and it's useless! Before the sky clears, I have to let the south wind blow." ”

She paused for a moment before she said, "Maybe you really blew us to Daheng Mountain!"

"Then it's better to just blow us to Okita's lair!" understood that he was lost at the moment, and he was worried, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he made a joke, and the girls didn't feel it.

"If you tell this news to Lao He alone, it will not help the soldiers and sailors to know about it, but it will cause them to panic, so don't tell them. Xiao Yu, make something delicious at night, let the soldiers go to bed when they are full of food and drink, and save some strength to fight, in case they really arrive at the Okita lair, they are all hungry and become soft-footed crabs, then what kind of battle are they fighting!"
