Ten miles away arrived in a flash.

The lush island is coming, and you can see some fishing boats fishing on the sea around the island, and even the residents of the island who are constantly waving and shouting on the coast.

"Marty, where are we docking?" Standing on the top of the cabin, a group of men, women, young and old were watching boating to watch the lively fishermen and the scenery on the island. Cao Shen held up a telescope and kept searching for places where he could dock.

Chen Xu looked through a map taken from Jurong County Government in his hand, compared it for a few times and said, "The best place should be to Daishan, but it is more than a hundred miles, but the princess, Wan'er and the maids are all seasick. Let's go around the northwest corner of the island and find a harbor to stop!"

Cao Shen quickly issued the order, so the flagship began to turn the rudder, and all the accompanying sea boats followed. The entire fleet went northwest around the lush island. Some fishing boats and cheering islanders followed behind could only watch the huge fleet as it went further and further away and soon disappeared from sight.

"Oh, this must be Qinghehou's fleet!" On the island, a group of Fang Qian, wearing gauze-coat clothes and tied with a bun on his head, watched the huge fleet leave with regret.

"Qinghe Hou is a disciple of the immortal family. He had to teach three heavenly books in his dream, but he didn't know why he suddenly came to Kuaiji with so many sea boats?"

"Last time I went to Langya, dozens of large sea boats were being built in a huge bay. I heard that Qinghehou planned to rent these sea boats to civilians for adventure. These sea boats may not be Qinghehou's fleet!"

"I have heard of this in Wuzhong. There are also newspapers. Some people have already planned to go to the South China Sea. From Wuzhong to Jurong, we have searched hundreds of islands of all sizes. We have not found any traces of immortals. I heard that my colleagues going to Yingzhou also said that this is the case. If we can't find this East China Sea, why don't we rent a big boat and go to the South China Sea!"

"Fellow Daoist Xian said it well. There is no fairy trail in the East China Sea. If there is no South China Sea, I will hear Qinghehou say that there are vast territory and countless national islands in the West. Although the fairy path is vague, the world is so big. As long as I wait sincerely, I will eventually find some clues. Let's go. Today, I will go to Juzhang County to find some local colleagues to find out if Qinghehou has really arrived in Wuzhong!"

“So great!”

A group of Fang Dao warlocks gathered together for a while and soon found a fishing boat to leave the island and head towards the mainland.

"I'll go, this island is very lively!"

The fleet bypassed the island. Chen Xu kept observing with a telescope along the way and found that fishermen and alchemists could be seen everywhere on the island. The Zhoushan Islands were like an overseas paradise, which gathered a large number of people from the Wu and Yue land.

"The Marquis said it is right. These islands are very close to the coast. From Shang and Zhou to Daqin, they have been fighting for more than a thousand years of vassal battles. Many people from Wu and Yue and even the Central Plains fled to live on this island. There is no royal law, no labor service, no taxes, no oppression of gentry, and many Taoist wise men came to seek immortals and ask for Taoism. It is a perfect place to avoid disasters and practice, and it is much more lively than in Yingzhou, Korea!" A manager who was familiar with the local situation in Kuaiji County said with a smile.

"By the way, Marquis, where is the Taiwan Island you said you were going to?" Cao Shen put down his telescope and asked.

"Taiwan is just outside the East China Sea opposite Central Fujian, about 400 miles from the coast of Central Fujian. Now the ocean currents are stable in autumn and winter, which is the best time to cross the strait. Let's not talk about these today. Just look for a bay nearby to stop. I'll go to the cabin to see the two marquises!"

"Yes, don't worry, Marquis, I will dock as soon as possible, so as not to make the two Marquises faint!" Cao Shen nodded quickly.

"Brother, don't be too anxious. When I first arrived in Langya in June, I was so dizzy that I almost vomited my liver and kidneys when I got on the boat on the first day. But now I am used to it, so I still have to sit on this sea boat often, and I don't feel it if I shake it!" Han Xin stood beside me and felt a little relieved to be beaten.

"You and I are both men. We have suffered since childhood, so we can naturally persevere. However, the princess and Wan'er have been living in the northwest inland since childhood. Why have they ever been so bumpy? The river boat is better? I feel dizzy if I haven't sat this sea boat for several years." Chen Xu smiled bitterly and threw the telescope to Han Xin and went downstairs.

At this time, Yu Wuya was standing on the deck with a group of musket team members holding rifles to hit seabirds, and the banging sound was very lively.

A group of escort servants and maids who followed Chen Xu stood around the deck and watched curiously, touched around and looked around, and some enthusiastic crew members accompanied them to introduce them.

Monkey Wukong jumped around the deck like crazy. When he saw Chen Xu coming down, he jumped onto his head and screamed excitedly.

Chen Xu did not stop on the deck and walked into the cabin with the monkey on his back.

In the past, flat-bottomed sea boats had no sails and masts, so there were three to five floors of cabins on the deck. The whole boat was built like a palace, and the name was called a tower boat. The idea was to build a large flat-bottomed ship and then build a house on it. Because the bottom of the boat was large enough to ensure enough draft, the top was heavy and the bottom was light and would not overturn easily. It was only shaking violently. As long as there was a little wind and waves, it would shaking constantly. When encountering big waves, it would undulate like a roller coaster. Even the old boatman could push his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys out.

The current sharp sea boat has a deep draft, so the bumps are very small, but because of the installation of several large sails, the deck looks very narrow and messy. Apart from the rudder cabin and the mast lifeboat cable, there is only one not too large two-story cabin, mainly used as an observation hand and a command room.

At this time, in the command room of the building, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Chen Xi, Yu Ji and several maids all sat on the fixed wooden chairs on both sides with pale faces. It seemed that the situation was very bad, especially Ying Shiman. Two little maids supported her and sat on the left and right, but they could see that they were very seasick.

Chen Xi lay in Shui Gentle's arms, closed her eyes and hummed, not as happy as when she started boarding the boat.

Yu Ji also lay on the back of the chair, looking weakly at the island scenery outside through the window, and her initial excitement turned into a look of pain.

Xia Zijin and Chunxiang were in good spirits. They hugged Chen Fangfei and Chen Yanxia respectively. The two children seemed to be a little seasick and lay on their bodies in a daze to sleep.

Chen Xu came in, and everyone was ready to sit up and say hello. Chen Xu quickly waved his hand to comfort them and told them not to move.

"Husband, I'm too dizzy to take a boat on the sea. I can't accompany you to sail for a long voyage in the future!" Ying Shiman said weakly, holding Chen Xu's hand.

"I'm going to dock soon, hold on!" Chen Xu sat down and held Ying Shiman in his arms, comforting her cold hands.

"Husband, I feel so uncomfortable and want to vomit!" Meng Wan also turned around and lay on Chen Xu's shoulder and said.

"Look, I said you are all landslides. Many people will feel dizzy when riding a boat for the first time, especially sea boats..."

Wukong jumped on Shui Qingrou's shoulders, stretched his claws and gently helped Chen Xi to smooth his messy hair. As a result, Chen Xi woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw Chen Xu, he suddenly felt a little excited, "Dad, Xi'er is hungry, and wants to eat kelp!"

Chen Xu:...

To be honest, Chen Xu didn't expect that the family would be as seasick as they were. He had been on a boat in Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and took a river boat from Jiangxi along the Yangtze River to Guangling. There were hundreds of miles along the way, and the family didn't see such dizziness.

And from the time of the ship just now, I have only walked more than ten miles.

Of course, river boats and sea boats cannot be compared.

Although the river boats are small, the rivers are actually faster and the waves are small, so they are much more stable. Although the sea boats nowadays look very large, they are actually only the size of fishing boats with drainage of hundreds or thousands of tons in later generations. Facing the sea, even a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier and a 100,000-ton cargo ship and a 100,000-ton cargo ship are not as stable as a cargo ship. This kind of wooden boat is actually no different from a small sampan.

Chen Xu guessed that there was another reason that he had been working hard recently. Since he arrived in Guangling, he had basically not stopped to rest. He had been moving all the way. In just over ten days, from Guangling to Wuzhong, to Hangzhou, and to Yuyao, he had not had time to find an inn to rest and came to the harbor to board the boat by himself. The reasons were superimposed together, so the family was dizzy except for themselves and Shui Qingrou.

Fortunately, it is still a calm autumn now. If it is the stormy season in spring and summer, I am afraid it will not be as simple as seasickness, and it will probably be fatal.

Chen Xu felt a little grateful.

"Mr. Marquis, you have found the stop and are ready to dock!" A manager hurriedly ran in to report.

"Okay, everyone will hold on for a while and take a break soon!"

With Chen Xu's constant encouragement, the ship began to turn around and approach the coast. Looking at the closer and closer coast and the lush island, the spirit of a group of women seemed to be much better, and they supported each other and stood up and walked out of the cabin.

This is a small bay. There are some simple docks made of wood and stone on the shore. They should have been built by fishermen on the island. There are seven or eight fishing boats fishing in the harbor. When they suddenly saw ten large sea boats whimpering in, they immediately rowed and fled like a blasting nest.

Ten large sea boats were one after another near the coast and sailed down, and the long gangways were placed down. The boatmen got off the boat and looked for reefs or trees to fix cables. They waited until the sea boats stopped and then lowered the springboard. All crew members were off the boat under the command of the captains of each ship, whistling, scolding, ordering, and shouting throughout the bay. Ten large ship boat crew members, two hundred musket team members and more than one hundred guards brought by Chen Xu, a total of thousands of people. In an instant, this small harbor was filled with people.

After the ship stopped, Chen Xu, Shui Qingrou Xia Zijin and others helped Ying Shiman and Meng Wan to get off the boat. The servants in the Hou Mansion also directed the servants to move down the pots, pans, pots, pots, and seasonings brought along. Other ships also had tableware and grain on the boat, and transported them to the beach to find a suitable place to set up a stove and prepare a fire to prepare a meal.

Since arriving in Wuzhong, the fleet has been docking in the previous bay and never docked. They eat and drink all the dry food and drinking water prepared on the boat. When I received the Marquis today, I naturally had to go ashore to make a hot meal to improve the food.
