Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56
The military camp is still the same as usual, there seems to be no change. There are soldiers who go to various places to take the prepared brine and fill it into the salt pond. The place is separate from Yantian.

However, it is obvious that no salt can be produced today. It is raining and the sea waves are also big. Several salt fields are directly submerged by sea water. Not to mention that the salt fields cannot be produced today. After the waves recede, the salt fields will have to be dug again.

"Tian Heng Island." Meng Zhuo saw Chu Nan coming to inquire about Tian Heng Island early in the morning, thought for a while and said: "It's not far, if you take a boat, if the wind is favorable, you can go there soon, sir. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's been nearly ten days since I came here, and there are almost things to do. I want to go for a walk. I heard that Tianheng Island is a scenic spot, so I want to go and see it." Naturally, it is impossible for Chu Nan to tell the other party his purpose. , so how many of these fishermen dare to operate the boat for them?So I can only tell some white lies, and let them send me there first, which happens to be a witness.

"Don't worry, I will pay the boat fee, and I won't teach you to do it for nothing." Seeing Meng Zhuo's expression of hesitation, Chu Nan said casually.

"What are you talking about, sir? How many ships are needed?" Meng Zhuo said with a solemn expression.

"About a hundred." Chu Nan recalled their small boats. With 200 people in his belt, including the boatman who operated the boat, it was 300 people. At least a hundred small boats were needed.

"So many?" Meng Zhuo frowned, they didn't have so many boats in the whole fishing village.

"We can join together with a few fishing villages. We just have a look. It will take about a day. Each boat plus the employment of the boatman will cost [-] yuan. You see..." Chu Nan thought, in this way, even If both people and boats are required, the price is about the same, but it may be dangerous, and Chu Nan feels a little bit sorry for this price.

Before he finished speaking, Meng Zhuo said solemnly: "Don't worry sir, before sunset, we will gather all these hundred ships for you."

The pirates have already paid the salt, and Chu Nan has paid them a lot of wages, but it is a little better than before. Now that they have the opportunity to earn more, they are naturally willing. After all, after Chu Nan and others leave, They still have to pay tribute to the pirates, and life will be better, but the good is limited. If there is an opportunity to make money, it is natural to seize it.

"Exactly, I'll leave tonight." Chu Nan paused, then nodded.

"How to go at night?" Meng Zhuo looked at Chu Nan in confusion: "The sea is very stormy, if you go at night, firstly, it will be slow, and secondly, it is difficult to distinguish the direction, which is prone to accidents."

"I won't be afraid to connect all the ships with ropes." Chu Nan said: "I and some generals want to go to Hun Island someday to see if the sunrise on Tianheng Island is even more splendid."

Meng Zhuo shook his head speechlessly and said, "Everywhere is normal, why don't I go out tomorrow morning?"

"The purpose of going to Tianheng Island is to watch the sunrise. If not, what's the use of going to Tianheng Island?" Chu Nan waved his hand and said, "In this way, tell those who are willing to row at night that every boat I have How about an extra twenty dollars?"

"Thirty dollars." Meng Zhuo shook his head, looked at Chu Nan seriously, and stretched out three fingers.

"25?" Chu Nan pressed his ten fingers down.

Meng Zhuo hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll discuss it with everyone."

After speaking, he shook his head and left.

Time passed quickly, and in the evening, Hou Cheng and Cao Xing selected two hundred elite men to go to the seaside. A large number of boats had docked at the seaside, and they were connected by ropes.

"Zi Yan, where is your one hundred thousand army?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan and asked suddenly.

"Look over there!" Chu Nan pointed to the distance, but saw that the first few small boats were covered with praying mantises, big and small, densely packed with five small boats. Just looking at it makes my scalp numb and it's hard to breathe.

"One hundred thousand bugs?" Hou Cheng stared and said, "Is this considered a large army?"

"I didn't say it was [-] people." Chu Nan asked Cao Xing to direct the soldiers to board the boat, be careful not to touch the boats with praying mantises. These boats have no boatmen, and they are directly hung on their boats with ropes.

"What's the use?" Hou Cheng turned his head to look at Chu Nan with a little scalp numbness. The boat full of praying mantises looked really uncomfortable: "You still expect these flying insects to be unable to fight?"

"Use them to cover our eyes and ears, together with the moonlight cover, I will have no problem waiting to land on the island." Chu Nan snapped his fingers as he spoke, as a demonstration.

"Hiss~" The demon mantis on the shoulder got the order and let out a hiss.

In an instant, the praying mantises on the five ships were abandoned one after another. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, they turned into a black mist-like swarm of insects, covering all the dozen or so ships in the front row.

A moment later, the demon mantis neighed again, and those mantises flew back to their ships.

"You mantis, you still have this ability!?" Hou Cheng stared at the demon mantis on Chu Nan's shoulder with bright eyes.

The evolved demon mantis has a tough body and is not inferior to ordinary military generals. It is already very enviable. Only now have I discovered that this demon mantis can not only fight, but also summon mantises to help. , but as Chu Nan said, these praying mantises can be used to assist in combat, or to cover people's eyes and ears, or to spy on the enemy.

"Ziyan, are you willing to sell this mantis?" Although he knew the possibility was not high, Hou Cheng couldn't help looking at Chu Nan, wanting to buy such a monster.

"How can the general have such thoughts?" Chu Nan glanced at him and said, "It has been with me since we were young, and it has long been used to each other and can't tolerate others. If the general sincerely wants it, I can help the general raise one. But the money does need to be paid by the general.”

"Raise?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan in astonishment: "Can this thing be raised?"

"Of course it can. It has been by my side since childhood and absorbed my strength for a long time before it can grow into what it is today." Chu Nan nodded affirmatively.

"How long?" Hou Cheng frowned.

"It can be overnight, or it can be a year or even ten years, it depends on chance." Chu Nan said with a smile, without the nourishment of luck, the average mantis may not survive the first evolution if it depends on itself.

"That's all!" Hou Cheng waved his hand depressedly. With this energy, wouldn't it be better to grab a stronger one?Why bother playing with bugs?Isn't it just that you can summon a lot of the same kind?Who cares?
"Let's go!" Seeing that all the soldiers had boarded the ship, Hou Cheng waved his command flag. It is impossible to set up an army formation in this place, so the boatmen can only row slowly...
