Chapter 301
what……

When Xu Zun said his decision, the scene was full of surprise.

Everyone felt incomprehensible, and no one understood why Xu Zun insisted on the voyage under such circumstances?

"My lord... this..." The soldier leader fell into a deep embarrassment and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Zun asked, "Didn't you say earlier that the ship's weapons, ammunition and supplies have already been prepared?"

"Yes," said the soldier leader, "the equipment is almost ready, but the people...is the person wrong?"

"People?" Xu Zun pretended to be confused, "What's wrong with people? Aren't so many of your soldiers all sailors, can't they sail?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" The soldier leader nodded, "But... this is different from the original assignment! Some of them are not included in the sea trip.

"Also... the sailors, helmsman, poleman, oarman, cook, etc., are not on board, and the most important point," said the soldier leader, clapping his hands, "the navy is not here either!"

The so-called sea master is the captain.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun pointed at Xiao Zhennan, "From now on, this hero Xiao will be our sea master, and you will follow his orders from now on!"

This……

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Xiao Zhennan didn't understand why, so he shrugged repeatedly.

All the soldiers felt that Xu Zun was a little too casual.

But they didn't know what Xu Zun was thinking. From Xu Zun's point of view, there was no more suitable opportunity to go to sea than this!
Because, he himself can't trust the manpower arranged for him by the above, and he doesn't know how many ghosts are hidden inside.

It might be better if the ghosts were sent by the queen mother, but it would be terrible if they were those who participated in the attack on the prince. That would definitely make my trip to the East China Sea full of risks.

Fortunately, the inner guards on the ship were all his confidantes, and the soldiers were all randomly selected, so they were naturally much safer.

In addition, what makes Xu Zun more confident is that Xiao Zhennan and his wife are not only familiar with the East China Sea, but also familiar with sailing, so that he has no worries.

However, the soldiers thought that Xu Zun was whimsical and a bit of a joke.

"My lord..." The soldier leader was still pleading, "The East China Sea is thousands of miles away, and the wind and waves are dangerous!
"Even if we can replace cooks and other jobs with sailors, soldiers are different from sailors. If you encounter a crisis, you will put adults in danger. Please think twice!"

"Don't worry," Xu Zun said calmly, "These... Xiao Xia will teach you all!"

"This……"

Xiao Zhennan grinned, but obviously didn't intend to refute.

"But..." the soldier leader said again, "This naval battle has already consumed a lot of ammunition. If we go to the East China Sea and encounter danger again, I'm afraid..."

"Enough!" Xu Zun finally became impatient, and shouted on the spot, "I ask you, is it true that you are not on the list of going to sea?"

"This..." The leader of the soldiers didn't speak, obviously Xu Zun was right.

"Listen to me, it's not a child's play for me to go to sea, it's a matter of necessity," Xu Zun said, "The prince's attack is of great importance, and there is no room for procrastination.

"Let me tell you the truth, there are spies among you and me. Their purpose is to prevent me from going to the East China Sea to look for the prince, so..."

Xu Zun's words are very insidious, which means that whoever is obstructing will be regarded as an enemy spy.

One must know that the missing one is Prince Daxuan, if anyone is regarded as a spy, the consequences can be imagined.

"I know," Xu Zun said, "this time the sea trip was an emergency, and everyone was not mentally prepared.

"So, don't worry," Xu Zun clasped his fists and said, "If everyone works together to rescue the prince, then the queen mother will definitely reward everyone.

"I, Xu Zun, am also a man of temperament. If you treat me sincerely, I will guarantee that I will not forget each of you. In the future, I will definitely recommend you to the imperial court. I, Xu, will do what I say!"

Xu Zun had already said so much, the soldiers didn't dare to say anything more, they immediately knelt down in front of Xu Zun, vowed to follow Xu Zun, no matter what.

"Okay!" Xu Zun said to the soldier leader, "Go and treat the wounded now, tidy up the deck, gather the supplies, and prepare for the long voyage!"

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order to go and act immediately.

Xu Zun gave Huo Anu a wink, and Huo Anu immediately understood and left with the soldiers along with a few guards.

Naturally, Xu Zun couldn't trust these soldiers, he was afraid that they would do some tricks on purpose, so he asked Huo Anu to keep an eye on them.

"My lord," Xiao Zhennan came to Xu Zun after the soldiers had left, and asked with a complicated expression, "So, I am the sailor of this ship?"

"Master Xiao Dahai," Xu Zun clasped his fists, "It's been hard work! You can also rest assured that after the work is completed, the original promised remuneration will be doubled!"

"Money is not important," Xiao Zhennan waved his hand, pointing to the burning Yongming City in the distance, "but what about Daxuan? They don't know the inside story, don't they...don't you need to tell them?" ?”

What Xiao Zhennan said was completely reasonable, although they had figured out why the pirates from Izumo Kingdom attacked Daxuan, but the court did not know.

"It doesn't matter," however, Xu Zun said indifferently, "Knowing the truth or not knowing the truth, the result is not important to us."

"This..." Xiao Zhennan pondered for a while, and when he realized something, the way he looked at Xu Zun suddenly changed.

It turned out that Xu Zun wasn't worried about this. If the court could figure out the ins and outs, they wouldn't be fooled.

But in other words, so what if he was fooled?

Just found an excellent excuse to send troops, took the opportunity to destroy the Izumo country, and used it to deter the East China Sea, and it didn't hurt.

Maybe it will help them find the prince incident...

This thought...

Xiao Zhennan looked at Xu Zun in amazement, and he admired Xu Zun even more in his heart. He never thought that this person would have such foresight at such a young age.

"Hero Xiao, oh no," Xu Zun clasped his hands again, "Master Xiao Hai, I entrust you with the full power of this expedition to the East China Sea!"

"Master Xu, you are welcome," Xiao Zhennan said hastily, "I will never refuse what I can do, and I will never do it.

"I just want to ask my lord one more question," he turned and pointed to the east and asked, "Which country in the East China Sea are we going to now?"

Indeed, this is the most important question at present.

"I don't need to go to the Izumo country," Xu Zun had already planned, and immediately said with confidence, "I have seen the charts before, and the ten countries in the East China Sea are like the waning moon. Starting from the nearest Izumo country, a semicircle is just drawn. return.

"As for my Daxuan Mission, the visits are made in this order.

"If we go to Linghua or Bixian country now, we will undoubtedly delay the voyage, so..." Xu Zun said, "Let's do the opposite and reverse the visiting route!"

"In that case..." Xiao Zhennan frowned slightly, "Our first stop will be the Lime Country in the southern part of the East China Sea?"

"Exactly!" Xu Zun nodded, "At least this will ensure that we will not go wrong!"

"Okay!" Xiao Zhennan nodded, "Then let's go to Mengmeng for the first stop!"

Even though Xiao Zhennan agreed with Xu Zun's suggestion, when he mentioned the word "椤蒙", there was still a trace of hesitation on his face...
