Chapter 353 Anxiety

The "Bianjing" ship, which Zhao Bing had been riding before entering Qiong, had undergone a series of major renovations before entering the court and was converted into a double-layer sailboat. Even when there was no wind, it could be driven by more than forty oars, which was no less than a dragon boat. It was of moderate size and is now a ship for his daily travel. The giant boat was named "Sheji" by him. This ship was too large to be used for a large number of people at one time. It completely needed the help of the wind and had requirements for the depth of the water. Therefore, it was worth using it when traveling far away.

Now the sea has become Zhao Bing's hunting ground, and whales have become his favorite game. The dragon boat is still smaller when it is used to do this. Dragging prey often requires two dragon boats to move, so the Bianjing has become a tug for hunting operations, and often serves as a command ship and warship. Now that winter is coming, a large number of whales have begun to enter the south to avoid the cold for food, which provides him with a variety of prey, and the number of hunting is increasing, and he is also moving further and further in order to pursue the prey.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Cai Qiao's current job is equivalent to His Majesty's life secretary, responsible for his diet, daily life, delivery of documents, transferring oral orders, and walking horses. He overturned the meat skewers on the brazier and asked Lin Zhiwu next to him. Yesterday, His Majesty commanded six dragon boats to chase the whale group out of the Doumen and drove straight out of the sea, but on the way, he only caught a "little fish" long and stopped the troops. After reaching the city, he ordered the anchor to stop the ship, and His Majesty sat on the deck and looked eastward, which made him feel very strange.

"I think Your Majesty is worried about the war in Qiongzhou!" Chen Dun, who was squatting on the brazier, stared at the sizzling meat skewers. Now, in addition to managing the twenty students, he has become His Majesty's closest playmates, and he also got on the boat yesterday.

"You kid will talk nonsense. Where will there be war in Qiongzhou?" Cai Qiao turned her face and looked at Chen Dun, who was swallowing with greed and smiled.

"Let's bet. If I'm right, I'll give me all these skewers. If I'm wrong, I'll stop eating the meat!" Chen Dun patted his chest and said seriously.

"Haha, I've bet with you, I want to hear your opinions!" Cai Qiao stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Dun and said.

"As far as I know, there are three points that can prove that there will be war in Qiongzhou: First, the mathematical problems that Your Majesty recently asked us to deal with marching, such as our army traveled twenty miles from Qiongzhou to Leizhou every hour, and the enemy went south from 500 miles away to Leizhou, how many miles would it take to march every hour to meet in Leizhou, etc. If you talk too much, you don't understand; second, when Your Majesty talked about military tactics with the officers of the Guardian Army, they asked them to discuss how to fight against the enemy if the enemy attacked Qiong, and asked them to write articles separately; third, Your Majesty has never cared about the affairs in the court, but it is different to Qiongzhou. Today, Your Majesty left the camp and ran to the outer sea just to see it, but he was worried that he would cause misunderstandings and was upset."

"Is Boy Chen right?" Cai Qiao asked Lin Zhi's martial arts again.

"Well, I guess that the war in Qiongzhou is in urgent need, so Your Majesty is worried!" Lin Zhiwu nodded and signaled Cai Qiao to give all the meat skewers to Chen Dun. The work he did was equivalent to His Majesty's administrative secretary and confidential officer, so he mastered some confidential matters.

"Hehe, this whale meat is the most delicious to eat when grilled!" Chen Dun grabbed a bunch of them and ate them. He sucked his tongue and said.

"Go and send some to His Majesty, he didn't even have a few bites of lunch!" Lin Zhiwu pointed at His Majesty who was on the deck and said, Chen Dun nodded and went over with the plate.

"Although this boy Chen is naughty, he is also smart. He can infer from His Majesty's words that something is wrong in Qiongzhou. If he is older, wouldn't he become a sperm?" Cai Ruoshui put some dressed skewers on the brazier and said.

"If you want to say that Your Majesty can train people, look at Zhao Dutong. Liu Dutong was just a deputy general in the past, and now he can command tens of thousands of troops. Everyone knows what Unite Ni did in the past, and now the guards are in good condition. Even those kids are impressive, and after some experience, it is of great use." Cai Qiao said with some charcoal fans to the brazier and on fire.

"Oh, we have not made any progress. At the beginning, we did not make any great achievements. We could only help Your Majesty deal with some trivial matters of official documents." Cai Ruoshui sighed. The work he did was equivalent to His Majesty's written secretary. He did some copying documents and drafting edicts for His Majesty. He said that it was very glorious around His Majesty, but it was actually boring to grow up.

"Haha, you're short-sighted." Lin Zhiwu pointed at them and said, "I think we were just a few dandy people in Quanzhou City back then. If the Mongols had not gone south, we could rely on our ancestors to protect our food and clothing. If we were lucky, we could become a magistrate after passing the prefecture test, and the county magistrate would be over. If we were not lucky, we could donate money to be a rich man. If we were to work with His Majesty, we would probably not even dream of doing things with His Majesty. Although we are of low rank and low official positions, we are all close people. As long as His Majesty takes power on one day, let alone sending him to the State Prefecture, it is also possible to go to the generals and prime ministers."

"You are right. Your Majesty is the most nostalgic. As long as you do things diligently, you will not treat us unfairly." Cai Ruoshui nodded and said.

"I just asked Boy Chen to interrupt. Is the war in Qiongzhou urgent?" Seeing that the fire was burning, Cai Qiao put down his fan and turned back to the topic just now.

"It's also a bit dangerous. Ali Hague was ordered by the thief chief to pacify Guangnan, and had long regarded Qiongzhou as a thorn in his side. After the failure of persuasion, he transferred nearly 700 warships from two naval troops from Jinghu to the south, and concentrated more than 60,000 troops to attack Qiong. His Majesty calculated the route of the enemy Jinghu Navy to go south, and secretly ordered the Qiongzhou Navy to ambush the Qiongzhou Navy on the way, trying to damage it severely, and lose the ability to cross the sea to protect Qiongzhou. The battle should be in these few days. Now that there is no news from Qiongzhou, your Majesty can't help but be anxious." Lin Zhiwu said softly to them.

"Oh, I said why Your Majesty went out of the fighting gate? I'm afraid he wanted to sneak into the war?" Cai Ruoshui said in a low voice looking at His Majesty's back.

"I also think this is the meaning, otherwise I wouldn't have brought the dragon boats with me. Now I think I'm going to wait for the darkness to take action!" Cai Qiao leaned over and said.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Today, it's not the fleet controlled by General Lu, but Zhang Shumi's personal guards." Lin Zhiwu said, pointing to the tail behind.

"They monitor His Majesty tightly. Those meats are not as good as feeding dogs. But it won't be too difficult to kill them, right?" Cai Qiao said with a wicked smile. He wanted to share his worries for the Lord.
