Reborn: The First Rank “Madam” – C200

C200 – You Have to Eat It

Lu Zheng had brought three hundred navy magicians with him to sea. There were five ships in total, one big, one small, and they were all war ships that could go to sea.

They headed south, but didn’t stop at any of the ports. According to Lu Zheng’s intention, most of the soldiers who didn’t go out to sea had to familiarize themselves with the life on the ships.

It was hard to avoid a seasickness when traveling on a ship for the first time. Even if one did not faint at the beginning, after a long journey of several days, all that entered his eyes was water, not fainting or fainting.

Only after five days, 30% of the people on the ship were dizzy and had irregular heartbeat. 30% of the people were vomiting, and the smell of sea water made them want to vomit. There were also 30% who were more adaptable and 10% who had experienced going to sea.

“Master Lu, the vegetables on the boat are almost finished. Why don’t we find a place to replenish them?” “Ugh …” Liang Qi’s face was pale as sheet as he covered his mouth, suppressing the sick feeling in his stomach.

They had prepared half a month’s worth of food and meat, but in the past few days, most of the soldiers’ appetite had been reduced. Every bowl was filled with vegetable porridge, so their consumption of vegetables was extremely fast.

Lu Zheng’s face did not look good either. However, it was not because he was seasick, but because he had witnessed such a result during his first sea trial.

Last time, he was able to smoothly clear out a nest of sea bandits. It was all thanks to the fact that he had chosen the elite soldiers, each of whom had exceptional physical qualities. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he would wipe out the sea bandits or be killed by the sea bandits.

“Give the order that we will start from the next meal. Even if you can’t eat it, you have to eat it!” Lu Zheng instructed without expression. Did these people really take it as a trip to the sea? You still dare to be picky.

Liang Qi’s face tensed up as he pleaded kindly: “My lord, please be merciful. Just think about the taste of the cured meat, and I will …” “Ugh …”

The weather was not too cold, and the meat would not last long, so all the meat the ship brought was salted meat. Anyone who smelled it every day would get tired of it.

Lu Zheng leaned against the railing. The sea breeze blew his hair. The sea was covered by a thick fog, making it difficult to see more than a hundred meters away.

“If you don’t want meat, you can eat fish.” Lu Zheng glanced at him coldly.

“Don’t say anymore …” “Ever since he had eaten fish in the sea, he no longer touched those fishy fish. There was a bastard sitting beside him with a big bowl of fish soup when he came for dinner, sipping slowly and occasionally letting out a mouthful of fishy breath, which filled people’s appetite.

Just as he thought of someone, Liang Qi looked up and saw that person leap down from the high platform and shouted, “Master, we found something in front!”

Lu Zheng followed Soong Hanlin to the bow of the ship. Sure enough, they saw a few suspicious corpses floating on the sea.

“Move forward, pick one up and take a look.” Lu Zheng ordered calmly.

“Yes.”

As the boat slowly moved forward, the two soldiers fished out a floating object using a fishing net, it really was a corpse. Soong Hanlin checked it and reported, “It should have just died, there are no signs of serious swelling and it doesn’t have much seawater in its stomach. There’s a knife wound on its neck, it was probably thrown into the water after it died.”

Liang Qi retracted his gaze from the surface of the sea, frowned and said, “There are about ten corpses that can be seen so far, could it be that one of the ships was killed?” He rummaged through the corpse’s clothes and continued, “Looks like something like a guard.”

“It looks a little familiar.” Soong Hanlin looked at the familiar blue colored cloth, and saw a copper embroidery map in an inconspicuous corner. He exclaimed: “This subordinate remembers, this is the symbol of the Wang Family Trading Company. Previously at the port, this subordinate has seen everyone on board wear clothes of this color.”

“Master Lu, come over and take a look …” Liang Qi waved at Lu Zheng, pointed at the sea surface a dozen meters away and said, “That person seems to still be alive.”

Lu Zheng also saw the person holding the floating log, but the other person was motionless. Lu Zheng also saw the person holding the floating log, but the other person was motionless.

After throwing that reckless person onto the floor, Lu Zheng caught him by the arteries to ensure that he was still alive. He turned around and ordered: “Fetch every corpse out and see if there’s anything that’s dead.”

The entire ship of people began to busy themselves. Some were salvaging, some were saving lives, and some were throwing into the sea. They didn’t want to carry a boat full of corpses back.

When that person woke up, the blue sky stunned him for a long time, until Liang Qi kicked him impatiently, “If you’re not dead, then speak!”

The man came back to his senses and slowly got up. He kowtowed to Liang Qi and kowtowed a few times. “Thank you, Brave Warrior, for saving …”

“Alright, alright, tell me what happened to you two.”

After the man expressed his gratitude, he slumped down on the ground. The man in his thirties choked up and said, “Our ship has met with pirates …” “Dead or alive, those who jumped into the sea, those who didn’t die were probably captured by the pirates and taken back as slaves. Fortunately, I met you guys …”

“Where?” A dignified and low male voice entered his ears. That person stared blankly at the person who spoke and replied, “What?”

Lu Zheng frowned and repeated in annoyance, “Where did you meet a pirate?”

The man’s body trembled slightly. He realized that the ship he was on was unusually large. The people on the ship were all wearing armor and holding weapons. It was obvious that they were not ordinary merchant ships.

“You are …?”

Soong Hanlin slapped the back of that person’s head, “Why are you blabbering on so much, our grandpa is asking you a question!”

“It is near the island of Xiying. They chased us for three days, but we couldn’t escape.” The man’s eyes turned even redder when he saw his companions, whom he used to be familiar with, floating on the surface of the sea.

A deputy general took out the sea map and found the location of Ying Ying Island. “Master, should we chase them?”

Lu Zheng looked around and saw that the soldiers were all rubbing their fists and wiping away the previous depression.

It seemed like there was another reason for these people to feel seasick was because they were too bored.

Lu Zheng didn’t make a decision immediately, instead, he asked, “How many ships are there in total? How many people are there?”

When that person heard that these people might be going to save someone, he hurriedly told them everything he knew, “There are four ships in total, about one or two hundred people, but …” One of their men was very good. “

“Is that so?” Soong Hanlin doubted in disdain.

“It’s true!” “If I’m not mistaken, that person should be the famous Pluto, the leader of the largest group of pirates in the sea. I saw their banner.”

“Yo, you sure have a big mouth. How dare you call him Pluto? Aren’t you afraid of the wind blowing his head off?!”

Lu Zheng thought about it and said, “As far as I know, the largest group of pirates at sea are not just one or two hundred people, it’s even more impossible for them to only have four ships.”

“Yes, but we’re only going to sail two ships this time. Maybe they don’t think we need too many men.” The person curled his head and said with a face full of hatred.

Soong Hanlin suggested excitedly: “Master, we finally made it out. We must test the strength of this ship.”

Liang Qi rarely had the same opinion as him: “It’s indeed like that. It’s only after I’ve tried it out that I can test it out.” He had never seen a sea battle with his own eyes.

The rest of the people began to invite him, their faces filled with anticipation.

Lu Zheng waved his hand and Soong Hanlin yelled, “Quick, turn around and head northeast at full speed!”

Lu Zheng gathered all the high-ranking officers on the ship and quickly explained the situation and assigned tasks. He asked everyone to use the weapons on the ship as much as possible to reduce casualties and to be ready to retreat at any time.

A deputy general smacked his lips and said, “Grandpa, we’ve never stepped back in a war before. We’re just a few small fries, not even a regular army, so what’s there to be afraid of!”

Lu Zheng gave him a cold look, “We are not familiar with naval warfare. Whether it is coordination or strategy, we are too unfamiliar with each other. Without powerful strength, don’t be blindly confident and be on high alert. Don’t fight for your entire life and lose on the sea.”

“Yes sir!” No one dared to disobey Master Lu, and no one would disobey either.

After the boat traveled for half an hour, they could see the thick smoke drifting above the sea. It seemed that the location of the accident was very close to them.

“It’s right in front. I’m afraid that at this time …” Everyone’s gone. ” said the man who had been rescued gloomily.

“You are Wang Family’s fleet?” Lu Zheng asked lightly.

“Yes, I don’t know who this person is …” “How should I address you, milord?” That person wasn’t blind. He knew that the handsome youth before him was the leader.

Lu Zheng’s brows twitched and he became completely silent.

He remembered that the piece of information on Wang Family had stated that Master Wang Family and Eldest Young Master had both disappeared into the sea, and that 80% of them had died by the hands of pirates, while none of the three ships that accompanied them had survived.

Wang Family’s caravan was not weak, and the only pirates that dared to confront them were this family, but how unlucky was Wang Family, to have encountered such a situation again and again?
