Mirror of the Sky

Chapter 169: nearshore

Following Zhang Huansheng out to sea, it was Moda who led the three giant boats.

He sits on the flagship Chixuanhuang, and 60% of the generals under his command, including the captains of the other two battleships, are officers who survived from the Xu Guo Xiaofeng Army.

Although the soldiers they commanded were not elite, but with the excellent ships and the rich experience of the commanders in the Weihe Sea over the years, they rode the wind and waves and sailed carefully. In the end, it only took more than ten days. In shock, he crossed the ocean and came to the boundary of Xizhou.

On this day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. Standing on the bow of the ship, looking at a different continent, Zhang Yuansheng, with his far superior eyesight, saw in the distant half-fan-shaped good port, thousands of ships of various types, ranging in size to hundreds of feet in length. Ships as small as less than ten feet from the fore to the end are docked;

On the pier on the shore, although there are still some ruins that were destroyed in the war, it has restored the prosperous scene. There are countless people with yellow skin and black hair in Dongzhou. They are completely different, with white skin and deep features. Men and women, old and young, with hairs of gold, silver, red, and brown, were busy running around and couldn't help but say, "It's true that one side of the water and soil supports another.

Before the Ming Dynasty, everyone had the same root and the same origin, but because they lived in different continents later, the appearance of the people from the East Continent and the West Continent became so different, which is really amazing. "

Mo Da, who was standing beside him, heard the words and answered clumsily: "Your Majesty, although they look different from us, they are all red blood and white bones, with heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, and inner flesh. It's the same."

During the conversation between the two, they didn't know that on the harbour tower, two people with exactly the same lion's mane-like curly, thick golden long hair, between middle-aged and old people, one with a square nose and wide mouth, the other with a sculptural face The handsome man, holding a lookout glass, stared at the three Zhang Guoxuan and yellow giant ships on the sea without blinking, showing a dignified look.

After a while, the man with a square nose and wide mouth said to his companion. "Look at those three ships that are invincible in size with the Carthaginian 'Conqueror' class. The firearms and the use of rune skills are even more sophisticated. The big ships are heading for us. What do you think it means? Western Europe?"

"Although they look big and have powerful firepower, they are not followed by supply ships, nor are they escorted by auxiliary ships. The people who drive the ships seem to be yellow-skinned, dark-eyed, and hairy Dongzhou people. They don't seem to be looking for trouble. Ah Mideo." The handsome man on the side replied softly.

Amedeo frowned, "But these three giant ships are even less likely to be merchant ships, so it's better to be careful before figuring out their origins.

After all, the Republic had just destroyed Carthage, and the terrifying Hannibal was said to be alive. "

"Oh, poor Amedeo, do you have a fever? How many times have I said that, Hannibal is dead, the devil is dead," Arecio suddenly became impatient after hearing this. "After winning the battle of Lake Trasimeno, he was killed by the thunderbolt of Scipio, the great high priest of the temple of Zeus, and died."

"You didn't see his corpse with your own eyes, you just read the battle report of the Republic that is often full of loopholes, how can you conclude that the devil is really dead..." Amedeo said unconvincingly, grabbing his beard.

Alessio roared angrily when he heard the words: "Because he is alive, it is impossible for us to conquer Carthage so easily." Then he paused, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at Zhang Guo, who was getting closer and closer. The battleship pondered for a moment, "But there is one thing you said right, Amedeo, we have to be careful now.

Herald, pass my order down, all the ballista turrets and throwing machines on the shore are in combat readiness, and at the same time, a cruise ship is sent to stop the three black giant boats on the sea, and ask them what their origins are? "

"Yes, Mr. Qianfu." A young Xizhou officer in half-armor and a cockscomb helmet standing behind Arecio immediately responded with a clenched fist across his heart.

After turning around, he jumped directly off the tower. With a loud bang of 'Peng...', his feet stepped out of a half-inch shallow pit on the ground, and a cloud of dust swept up.

After more than a dozen breaths, there were several ships on the dock with alchemy cannons on their bows, and the Western Qin Eagle Flag fluttered on their sails. Small ships that could be operated by a dozen people set sail for the giant ship of Zhang Guo.

Zhang Huansheng, who was standing on the red and yellow deck, saw them rushing towards him, as if he had been prepared to say: "The golden eagle flag is floating on the mast, it seems that it should be the ship of the Western Qin government, 80% of the time. Seeing that our ship is full of firearms, it really doesn't look like a businessman. I was afraid of any entanglement, so I blocked it in the sea first, asked where it came from, and then made calculations.

We are passengers from afar, so we will stop the boat first and make it clear before entering the port. "

"Yes." Moda responded respectfully, and passed Zhang Huansheng's will to the other giant boats through the semaphore.

Soon, all three warships stopped near the sea, waiting for the Western Qin cruise ship to slowly approach.

But when the cruise ships stopped close to the giant boat, the captain of one of the warships stepped out of the helm, raised his head, looked at Zhang Huansheng who happened to be looking down, and said, "Who are you and why? Driving a warship into my Western Qin territorial waters for no reason?"

"We come from an overseas country that was enfeoffed by the Great Chu court of Yanhuang, Zhang." Zhang Yuansheng hurriedly replied, "We came to the Western Qin Dynasty to do business, but because of the unpredictable risks of crossing the wild ocean, we took a warship, and there was absolutely no chance of it. I want to offend Xi Qin half way."

Then the captain of Xiqin looked up in disbelief~www.wuxiahere.com~ pointed at the giant boat in front of him and said, "I am afraid that such a warship would have to be built with a mountain of silver of the same size, but it cannot hold much cargo. I am afraid that I will lose my life if I come to trade, and that merchant will build this kind of ship because he is afraid of the risk of sailing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Huansheng had already controlled the wind, jumped, and fluttered from the deck of the giant boat to the cruise ship. Looking at the stunned Captain Xi Qin, he said, "The sea merchants are only mine. One of my identities, in addition, I am also the baron of Dongzhou Great Chu, so my life is especially valuable.

If you don't believe me, take me to the officer at the control dock and let me explain it to him myself. "

Seeing that Zhang Huansheng had abandoned the big boat and boarded his own boat alone, the captain had actually believed his words, but it was about the safety of the entire harbour, and he did not dare to take the risk. Sheng saluted: "It turns out that Your Excellency is actually for the nobles from Dongzhou, which is really rude.

You have a distinguished status, and I am just a small dock patrol officer who came from a middle-class civil service family in the municipality. There is no way to talk to each other on an equal basis, so you proposed to meet the Captain Amedeo who manages the Aetius dock. good note.

Let's go here. "
