When the two of them passed by, Ye Jin was still studying the boat board that Shen Qianfeng brought back, and the boat that Duan Baiyue drove back. Wen Liunian was holding a small wooden stick and was poking at the two fish in the net pocket—both were submerged in the water and seemed to be half-dead.
"Your Majesty, the King of Southwest China." Shen Qianfeng was leaning against the door, "Xiao Jin and Lord Wen have been watching, but haven't found anything yet."
"It's been hard work." Chu Yuan walked into the cabin, "If you're too tired, you should rest earlier, and your brain will be more awake after a good night's sleep."
"It can only be seen that this wood is darker than ordinary boat wood." Ye Jin said, "It was probably soaked in sea water for a long time, and it was exposed to the wind and the sun.
"What about the strange fish?" Chu Yuan asked again.
"Back to the emperor, I have never heard of it before." Wen Liunian said, "But there are many monsters in the deep sea, and it is not unusual to have never seen one. This big fish has more than ten rows of sharp teeth in its mouth, which can be easily bitten through. The thickness of the wood is not poisonous, but it is extremely fierce and manic."
"It's not easy to break through without poison, there are so many." Duan Baiyue said, "Besides, even if you can break through hard, it will take a lot of energy to destroy a group of fish, and it is not worthwhile."
"Okay." Chu Yuan took the wooden board from Ye Jin's hand and adjusted his hair for him, "Be obedient, go back with Qianfeng to rest early, seeing your bitter face, you should take a bite. This shit."
"Maybe it's fine." Ye Jin glanced at the side of the boat, or would he lick it? Of course it's kind of disgusting.
Seeing his look of disgust and eagerness to try, Shen Qianfeng's head hurt and he carried him directly out.
"Wen Aiqing should rest earlier." Chu Yuan said, "You have to fight, you have to sleep, people who practice martial arts still have some foundation, and literati can't survive like this."
Wen Liunian hurriedly said: "It's okay, Wei Chen eats a lot."
Zhao Yue: "..."
Chu Yuan motioned for him to take the person back, squatted down and looked at the big fish before standing up and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
"Throughout the ages, I am afraid that you are the only emperor like you." Duan Baiyue tugged at his cheek.
"What's wrong with me?" Chu Yuan was puzzled.
"Not only do you have to worry about military affairs, but also urge your courtiers to go to sleep." Duan Baiyue said: "I really don't know if I want to praise you or make fun of you."
"There's nothing to make fun of, this is the blessing of the Great Chu." Chu Yuan smiled, "I'd rather force them to rest than trying to urge Wen and Wu of Manchao to get up and work."
"Am I a blessing to Da Chu?" Duan Baiyue took the opportunity to ask quietly.
"You are not only a blessing to Chu, but also mine." Chu Yuan squeezed his face with both hands, "What about me?"
"You?" Duan Baiyue picked him up, "You are my daughter-in-law."
"The answer is wrong." Chu Yuan bumped him with his forehead, "Okay, go back."
"Don't look at this big fish?" Duan Baiyue took him back, "Alright, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. In fact, don't worry too much, no matter how frantic it is, it's just a school of fish, it's not difficult to deal with, if it's braised, it's delicious. , maybe even Lord Wen can kill seven or eight with his bare hands."
Sixi opened the door for the two of them and laughed secretly when she heard this. He hurriedly instructed the maid to burn hot water and bring it over. After washing, Chu Yuan checked Duan Baiyue's whole body again to make sure that there was no injury, and just then stuffed the quilt over: "Go to sleep."
"No reward?" Duan Baiyue looked at him with his head on his side, "Well, go deep into the enemy camp alone, and cut off the arm of the rebel leader with one move. It is so legendary that it can be sung for three days in the troupe. "
"You cut off Hei Crow's arm alone. Back then, Palace Master Qin killed tens of thousands of cavalry in Mobei alone." Chu Yuan put his finger on the tip of his nose, which was getting closer and closer, "What should I do? Better than someone."
"Who said Brother Qin was alone, he was still with Mr. Shen at the time." Duan Baiyue held his wrist, "It's different if you have a sweetheart by your side." You can also eat three more bowls, The same goes for killing enemies.
"Is that so?" Chu Yuan thought for a while, "Otherwise I'll accompany you next time?"
"That can't be done, Young Master Shen is only one person, but I want to share you with the whole world." Duan Baiyue intertwined his fingers with him, "Brother Qin can come with his temper, I can't, and you can't be in any danger. "
"Have you..." Hearing this, Chu Yuan's heart moved, "More than 20 years ago, when you first met, your temper was actually the same as Qin Shaoyu today."
"I think you are hurting Brother Qin by saying this." Duan Baiyue laughed, "How old is he this year, but you say he is the same as me when he is eight or nine years old."
"You know what I mean." Chu Yuan pinched his nose.
"You want to ask me, don't you regret it later?" Duan Baiyue wrapped his arms around his back and put the person in his arms, "It's really stupid to say that you are a little fool, can you think about it? Your temperament will change, do you like me kissing you and hugging you now, or do you like me hurting you when you first met?"
"But I want you to be more relaxed." Chu Yuan said.
"What does it mean to be more enjoyable, where did I make you feel aggrieved." Duan Baiyue smiled and shook his head, and said seriously, "Although brother Qin lives comfortably, he has nothing to envy, at least he can't rinse with bird's nest. mouth."
Chu Yuan reminded: "You can't either."
Duan Baiyue cleared her throat: "All the money of the seventy-two concubines of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyards is used to raise me, shouldn't it be very rich? Four Xi told me last time that the bed and the ground will be sprinkled with pearls."
Chu Yuan said: "Think beautifully."
Duan Baiyue pinched him on the waist.
Chu Yuan smiled and avoided, and the two of them were arguing on the bed for a while, but their mood was much more relaxed. Tired of playing, Duan Baiyue pulled the quilt around him and said, "Go to sleep."
"Call me up early tomorrow." Chu Yuan said, "There are still a lot of things to do in the army."
"Okay, but believe it or not, you don't need to call me tomorrow morning, and you wake up by yourself." Duan Baiyue complained, "You don't have to go to the morning, and I don't know if I'm being lazy."
Chu Yuan buried his face in his arms. At first, he was thinking of having a few more chats, but he fell asleep before he knew it. Duan Baiyue watched from the side, and was a little worried at first, afraid that the scene of the scarlet sea water and the fish gnawing at the rebels in the daytime would wake up the demons in his heart, but at this time, seeing that he was breathing soundly and sleeping soundly, he felt relieved. Reassured, he waved his hand to extinguish the candle, and hugged the person back into his arms.
Everyone slept soundly that night. Although the first battle between the two armies was a bit strange, it was considered a victory. Moreover, the fleet brought out by the Black Crows today was not as well equipped as it was rumored to be. The battle that came down can almost be called crushing, and there is nothing to worry about - except for Ye Jin, who had a dream for almost a whole night, and finally simply sat up and said, "I'll go take a look. That wood."
Shen Qianfeng took him into his arms: "You calm down first."
"I'm calm." Ye Jin pulled the pillow.
"Listen to me." Shen Qianfeng asked him to lean into a more comfortable position, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Chu army, no matter what kind of trouble they encounter, someone will definitely come forward to solve it. Maybe it's a general, maybe it's an ordinary soldier, Maybe it's a strategy, maybe it's a hometown method, so all the obstacles you think are actually not a big deal, understand?"
"But this is about herbs." Ye Jin said.
"What's wrong with the herbs, could it be that you are the only doctor in this Great Chu military camp?" Shen Qianfeng smiled, "Everyone is thinking about it, but you are the only one who doesn't eat or sleep."
"That's different, they're doctors, and I'm a genius doctor." Ye Jin grabbed his collar.
"Yes, yes, you are a genius doctor." Shen Qianfeng wrapped his naked shoulders, "Be obedient, sleep for another hour, and I will wake you up at that time."
"Alright." Ye Jin yawned and closed his eyes in a daze. It's just that before he fell asleep, there was movement outside.
"Xiao Jin." Chu Yuan knocked on the door, "Are you up?"
"Have eyes?" Ye Jin got up from the bed instantly, opened the door in a robe, and saw Duan Baiyue eating by the railing with a plate of buns.
…
"It seems to have disturbed you." Chu Yuan said, "It's just a good thing."
Ye Jin lowered his voice and asked mysteriously in his ear, "Are you really bald?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Cough!"
"About that boat board." Chu Yuan said, "What medicinal herbs were used to soak it. If you can't find it, then you don't need to check it for the time being."
Ye Jin wondered: "Do you mean to leave it alone?"
"There are many witch medicines in the Emerald and Burmese country. Even if they are found, they may not be able to find ready-made ones, not to mention that they are used to wrap ships, and they must be used in large quantities, which is not realistic." Chu Yuan said, "We were chatting just now, but inadvertently. Find another way."
"What is it?" Ye Jin asked.
"Before drawing out the strange fish, the other party poured hundreds of baskets of nailed fish, so that when they kill each other, the smell of blood can attract fish." Duan Baiyue put the plate aside, "This is It means one thing, the strange fish will gather together and fight frantically only when they feel the smell of blood in the sea. And they will attack our warships because the wood hull is soaked in blood, leaving a bloody smell."
"So the smell of blood is the key to attracting nail fish?" Ye Jin followed him.
Duan Baiyue nodded: "What kind of medicine and what kind of wood is the enemy using, these can actually be taken care of for the time being. We just need to think of a way to get rid of the bloody smell in the sea, and the strange fish will naturally not have to rush to grab food. Our team can also be smooth all the way.
"Well..." Ye Jin stroked his chin.
"How?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ye Jin made a decision: "I want three days."
"Three days is three days, but this time it's not only the owner of the valley, but also Yao'er." Duan Baiyue smiled, "His jar of baby bugs has some uses."
The guards of the Southwest Mansion were guarding Duan Yao's residence, and when they saw their prince and the emperor coming together, they hurriedly saluted, saying that the little prince came back in the middle of the night last night and had not woken up yet.
"What are you doing?" Duan Baiyue reached out and pushed them away, and saw Duan Yao lying on the bed, sleeping with the quilt in her arms.
Chu Yuan stepped forward and pinched his cheek: "It's breakfast."
Duan Yao sat up in a daze: "Huh?"
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "People who practice martial arts are not even half alert."
Duan Yao yawned, closed her eyes and explained vaguely, "I heard it long ago and knew it was you and my sister-in-law."
Duan Baiyue: "Cough."
Chu Yuan glared at him.
The King of Southwest has a tightness in his chest, he is speechless, and he is innocent. What does this have to do with me.
"What's wrong?" Duan Yao stretched.
"Lend your blue sword worm to use it." Duan Baiyue was very direct.
Duan Yao immediately widened his eyes and woke up.
Chu Yuan said: "It seems to be a remarkable thing."
Duan Baiyue stretched out his hand.
Duan Yao wrinkled her nose, intending to brew the emotion of howling and crying - after all, my sister-in-law still loves her very much, so she can properly stop the beast brother.
"Don't make trouble." Duan Baiyue knocked on his head: "It's a big deal, it's related to breaking the formation."
"Huh?" Duan Yao packed up his emotions and asked, "What kind of formation?"
Chu Yuan explained the matter to him in general.
"That's it." Duan Yao was very cheerful, "Of course it's possible." After that, he added quickly, "But you have to pay me back when you run out."
Chu Yuan smiled: "Why, is it possible that you are afraid that Xiao Jin will rob your baby bug?"
"It's not Big Brother Ye." Duan Yao looked at his dear brother with vigilant eyes. It was not uncommon since childhood, and he had to guard against it.
Duan Baiyue smiled kindly and kindly: "It's not Ye Guzhu, who is that?"
Duan Yao tightly hugged her sister-in-law's arm.
The next moment, the King of Southwest was kicked out by the Emperor of Chu.
The guard looked at his prince with sympathy in his eyes.
Duan Baiyue gritted his teeth, dead kid.
Duan Yao took out a small jar, and inside it was a blue beetle about half the size of a slap, with small black claws around it and red eyes, Chu Yuan only glanced at it and felt his back numb: "This is the blue beetle. Sword bug?"
"The appearance of this one is not good, but it's not bad." Duan Yao said, "Even my brother likes it very much."
Chu Yuan was disgusted in his heart, what was there to like.
"Then I'll take it to Big Brother Ye." Duan Yao hastily washed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, with the blue sword worm, the smell of blood can be covered up."
Chu Yuan nodded and accompanied him out of the cabin.
Duan Yao trotted all the way to the pharmacy, Duan Baiyue waited until his back disappeared, and immediately explained: "I don't like that worm."
"I like it if I like it. Southwest mansion has many snakes and worms." Chu Yuan laughed, "It's not that I like a girl behind my back, why panic."
"In the future, I will clean up the surroundings of your residence." Duan Baiyue raised her hand to assure, "There will never be a single worm."
Chu Yuan looked up at him: "My place?"
Duan Baiyue immediately changed his mouth: "We."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Eunuch Sixi ran over from the other end, panting, "Master Nan sent a boatload of things and said that the lord would pick them up in person."
"Master?" Duan Baiyue was overjoyed, "Where are the others? Didn't they come together?"
Father-in-law Sixi shook his head: "No one, just hired a boatman and brought a letter with him."
Duan Baiyue shook the letter open, and it was full of dog crawling and ink bumps. Others couldn't fake it if they wanted to forge it. It was indeed written by hand.
"What does this mean?" Chu Yuan also leaned over to look at it, pointing to a barely human-shaped ink pimple on the paper, a little puzzled.
Duan Baiyue said: "It should be an overseas immortal."
Chu Yuan was shocked: "You really know it."
Duan Baiyue said: "Guessing blindly."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue read the letter again and said: "The ship is asking for good things from elsewhere, but it is not clear what it is."
Chu Yuan said: "Master Nan walked around the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he saw countless scenes. The 'good things' in his mouth should not be bad."
"Whatever it is," Duan Baiyue took his hand, "Go and see."
Ye Jin, Duan Yao and others heard that Master Nan had sent a shipment of good goods, and they also joined in the fun. Duan Baiyue jumped on the boat, opened the curtain and looked inside, her expression suddenly froze.
"Huh?" Chu Yuan asked him on the big boat, "What is it?"
Duan Baiyue looked back at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Otherwise you will come and see for yourself?"
