I am Master Maoshan
Chapter 1996 Warship
Chapter 1996 Warship
Written on the paper in a slightly messy handwriting was: "Master's Wife, I have arrived safely in Qingzhou City, but unfortunately I was attacked by the Six-Winged Prince outside Qingzhou City and was seriously injured. At this moment, my heart is filled with fear and anxiety..."
General Wu Yi glanced at the letter casually, but his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He quickly stretched out his hand and stopped Liu Jun from continuing to write, with a look of anxiety and dissuasion in his eyes.
"Hey, Your Highness, there is no need for us to tell the steward about this. The steward is very busy, having to deal with the complicated affairs of the entire Skyfire Divine Realm. You haven't suffered any serious injuries, and it would not be good to make her anxious and worried, right?" General Wu Yi persuaded Liu Jun earnestly, trying to make him give up the idea of continuing to write.
Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Who said it's okay? My injury hasn't healed yet!"
General Wu Yi was stunned and asked in confusion, "What's the injury? Didn't Doctor Sun just diagnose you and say that your injuries have healed?"
Liu Jun sighed softly, with a bitter smile on his face: "This injury is not that injury, it is a heart injury. Heart injury is much more difficult to cure than physical injuries."
When General Wu Yi heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He knew that this was the beginning of extortion. It seemed that His Highness Liu Jun wanted to take advantage of this attack to ask for some benefits from him.
But the key is that he dared not send this letter to the Palace of the Divine King easily. If the chief steward Feng Wanqing saw it, based on his understanding of Sister Feng, she would definitely come and kill him without saying a word. When he thought of the terrible consequences, General Wu Yi couldn't help but shudder.
"Then tell me, how do you heal your heartache?" Wu Yi sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He has been in the army for so many years, and this is the first time someone dares to blackmail him. The key is that he has no temper.
Liu Jun said slowly: "I need a warship, a sturdy warship that can sail across the Sea of Death."
Wu Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. Then he shook his head, with a helpless and teasing look on his face: "I've never seen you use a warship to heal your heart injury before."
Liu Jun didn't care about Wu Yi's teasing, and said with a smile: "Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not. If you don't, write a letter to my master's wife and tell her that I am almost beaten to death and you won't help. When the time comes, General Wu Yi, I'm afraid you will have to have a good talk with my master's wife."
Wu Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this. He knew Feng Wanqing's temper very well. If she knew that he was watching a show, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
So, he could only sigh helplessly and compromise: "Okay, give it to me! It's just a warship, I'm not that stingy. But there is a prerequisite, the warships are registered, you can drive it away, and you have to return it to me after use."
When Liu Jun heard Wu Yi agreed, he immediately smiled and said, "That's no problem. If you borrow, you must return. It won't be difficult to borrow again. General Wu, don't worry. I, Liu Jun, always keep my word."
Seeing this, Wu Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll have someone bring you some breakfast. You must be hungry after being busy for so long."
Liu Jun nodded happily: "Okay! I'm just hungry. General Wu is really considerate!"
The breakfast at the General's Mansion is very down-to-earth, with simple steamed buns and steamed bread, accompanied by a few plates of crisp and refreshing pickles, without any sense of luxury.
Despite this, Liu Jun and his friends were quite happy with their meal. During their time in the Palace of the Gods, they had been eating delicacies from land and sea every day, and occasionally changing their taste and tasting this simple home-cooked meal was also a different experience.
At the dinner table, Liu Jun asked curiously, "Deputy General Chen, does your general's mansion usually have meals like this?"
Deputy General Chen smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, the general usually eats these. His salary is actually quite high, but he always uses most of the money to improve the lives of the soldiers in the army. The general said that the soldiers are fighting on the front line, and their food and clothing cannot be too bad."
Hearing this, Liu Jun could not help but admire General Wu Yi. He did not expect that this general in such a high position would be so considerate of his subordinates and take the welfare of his soldiers to heart. Of course, this admiration only lasted for less than a day.
The meal was quickly finished, and Vice General Chen had been waiting for a long time. The reason why he appeared here and waited for Liu Jun and the others to finish their meal was to take them to Donglai Port to visit the warships there.
And what about General Wu Yi? He had already gone to do other things. As the leader of an army and the lord of a city, he had many heavy things to deal with every day, and he was busy like a top all day long.
Liu Jun and his men followed Vice General Chen all the way to Donglai Port, where they saw a number of magnificent warships moored, standing on the water like hills, exuding a shocking momentum.
"Oh my god, these warships are all made of metal?" Liu Jun was surprised. His eyes moved among those huge warships and he muttered to himself in disbelief.
These warships gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sun, like a group of steel behemoths, quietly anchored in the port of Donglai Port.
"Of course, wooden warships have long been eliminated." Vice Admiral Chen explained with a smile, his tone full of pride, "The warships currently in service in Donglai Port are all made of Caragas ore. This ore is extremely hard and can withstand powerful attacks, making our warships invincible on the battlefield."
Liu Jun was shocked when he heard this. He knew about the Caragas Mine. As the largest mine in the Heavenly Fire Divine Domain, the metal ores it produced were all high-quality ores, extremely precious. These ores were generally used to make weapons. Not only were they expensive, but they were also extremely difficult to obtain, and they were not sold to the public. Unexpectedly, Donglai Port could use such precious ores to build warships. This was truly amazing.
He carefully observed these steel behemoths, each of which looked so huge and mighty. He imagined the scene of these warships galloping on the battlefield, and his heart could not help but feel a surge of blood boiling. Of course, such a steel behemoth would require a huge amount of metal ore to build, and its value was so high that it was an unimaginable astronomical figure, and ordinary people could not afford it.
At this time, the fat man couldn't help but ask: "Then, what about our warships?"
The fat man's tone was full of expectation and curiosity. He had seen an aircraft carrier when he was in the human world, and the huge monster left a deep impression on him. Now, he saw these steel behemoths that were even bigger and more powerful than aircraft carriers, and his heart was filled with yearning and longing.
Lieutenant General Chen's expression seemed extremely strange. He slowly raised his finger and pointed at a huge ship anchored in front of him - a huge steel ship, like a sleeping beast, quietly waiting.
Seeing this, several people quickly quickened their pace and followed closely. The fat man walked quickly, staring wide-eyed and looking around, trying to find a way to get on the ship. However, at this moment, Deputy General Chen suddenly stopped, and his finger turned lightly, pointing to an insignificant small wooden boat next to the huge ship.
This small wooden boat forms a sharp contrast with the steel behemoth next to it. It is moored alone beside the giant ship, like a fragile chick standing next to the majestic phoenix.
The difference between the two is huge, both in size and appearance. The hull of the small wooden boat is a little worn out, and the gaps between the wooden boards seem to let in a little sea breeze, making it look particularly fragile.
Liu Jun's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he looked at Deputy General Chen in disbelief, with a hint of doubt in his voice: "Don't tell me that this small wooden boat is the warship you prepared for us?"
Lieutenant General Chen nodded helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment, but the meaning was very clear - this was the warship prepared for Liu Jun and his men.
Liu Jun took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his inner anger and disappointment. Then he widened his eyes, glanced at the people around him, and said with gritted teeth: "Wait for me here, I'm going to kill someone!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at him in confusion. "Who are you going to kill?"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Jun's eyes. He clenched his fists and said word by word: "Kill Wu Yi!"
Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement. It was obvious that the old guy Wu Yi was fooling him.
There were so many big steel ships, but he was only given a small wooden boat. He was afraid that once he went out to sea, a wave would come and smash the small wooden boat to pieces.
As Liu Jun finished speaking, the air around them seemed to freeze. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Deputy General Chen smiled bitterly. He knew that his decision might have caused public outrage, but he was powerless to do anything about it. After all, this was arranged by the general himself.
"Liu Jun, wait!" Yao Guangxiao hurriedly grabbed Liu Jun, who was furious and was about to go find General Wu Yi to have a good talk.
"What's the matter? Don't stop me, I'm going to chop that old guy to death!" Liu Jun said with an angry face, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Wu Yi's arrangement.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a calm and wise look: "This ship is suitable for us, trust me."
Hearing this, Liu Jun stopped involuntarily and looked at Yao Guangxiao suspiciously, his eyes seemed to penetrate his heart and explore his true thoughts.
Of course he believed that Yao Guangxiao would not cheat him. After all, the two of them had a life-long friendship. However, the wooden boat in front of him was very different from the mighty and domineering steel ship next to it. Any normal person who wanted to go out to sea would choose this big boat.
"This ship is more expensive than the bigger one next to it." Yao Guangxiao seemed to see through Liu Jun's thoughts and continued to add.
There was a hint of ambiguity in his tone, as if he was telling Liu Jun that this seemingly inconspicuous wooden boat actually had unknown value.
Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and gently patted the wooden board of the wooden boat. At that moment, he seemed to be shocked by a magical force, because the wooden board actually made a crisp "clang clang" sound, which was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of metal hitting stone.
"Spiritual birch?" Liu Jun was surprised, and his voice revealed disbelief.
Birch is an extremely rare and precious wood. It is hard, corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant, and is often used to make high-end furniture or artworks. Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary wooden boat is made of such precious wood.
If we really want to calculate the value, then this wooden boat is indeed more valuable than the steel behemoth next to it.
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, it is the spiritual birch. Although the appearance of this ship is plain, there is something else hidden inside. It is light and strong, able to withstand the strong winds and huge waves on the sea. More importantly, it has an indissoluble bond with the destination of our trip."
When Liu Jun heard this, the doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared instantly. He began to re-examine the wooden boat, with a new light in his eyes.
Perhaps, as Yao Guangxiao said, this ship is their real partner on this trip and will accompany them through an unforgettable journey to the Sea of Death.
