Chapter 371
Looking at the ships ahead, Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly and shook his head. Of course he knew in his heart that these ships were all used as cannon fodder by Wang Fu. After waiting in the stronghold for so long, the first thing is to find out whether there is any danger in the surrounding sea area, and the other is to borrow ships from Funan Kingdom to open the way for the fleet.

Wang Fu was very careful in his work. There was a vanguard ship just behind the ship. Even if something went wrong, it would never affect the ships behind. Huang Zhong just saw Wang Fu's intentions, so he fell silent. Fu's boats were loaded with heavily armed soldiers, and they were slowly rushing towards the distance. There were also many merchant ships among them, which were full of goods unique to the big man.

In this way, the fleet sailed towards the south, leaning against the coastal area of ​​Chenla Kingdom. In order not to cause any problems in the sea area, they have been advancing along this river line all the time. According to Zhang Jiao In other words, if you continue to sail for two months, you will see a small peninsula, like a long snake, spreading out from the land, at the end of the snake, Duojin.

It has to be said that Zhang Jiao is very familiar with the surrounding sea area. He has sailed on this route for nearly ten years and has become the most experienced navigator. He has discovered more than a dozen large and small islands, which can be called The No. 1 sailor of the contemporary Han Dynasty, however, his complexion became more and more miserable every year. At the very beginning, he would pull the crew and tell them stories about Xiandao.

As if he saw it with his own eyes, he described the plants and trees of Xiandao in such detail to everyone, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Every time he talked about Xiandao, he would always be so happy, his hands and feet would dance, Because he is also extremely kind to the soldiers, these soldiers are also willing to listen to him, and in addition, he has many believers.

However, he has been searching for a full ten years, and his hope has become more and more bleak. Now, the fairy island in his mouth has become a joke among most soldiers in the navy. Every time he talks about the fairy island, these soldiers always vote for him. With a disdainful look, his followers are also constantly losing. Of course, due to his official position, the soldiers will not ridicule him in front of him.

However, the discussion behind his back is always indispensable. The soldiers talked about him behind his back. After his kindness, many soldiers would joke with him, asking: "Mr. Zhang, what does your fairy island look like?"

At this time, there will always be laughter.

The laughter is so piercing, Zhang Jiao is indifferent, he will look at the other party, and explain carefully, on his fairy island, there are trees that grow food, there are horses that can travel thousands of miles a day without eating or drinking, and they live on the island The immortals could go to the sky and enter the earth, and the soldiers suddenly felt bored, so they left without listening to him, leaving only Zhang Jiao, telling the story of the fairy island to himself alone.

Zhang Jiao stood on the bow of the boat, licked his finger, stood it up, observed carefully, raised his head again, looked at the flag, and looked down at the water surface from time to time. The soldiers couldn't understand his actions at all. Many people laughed softly and said, "Fake it." Whenever this happened, the believers who had been treated by Zhang Jiao would quarrel with them angrily.

Wang Fu knew this situation in his heart, even, this situation was caused by himself, he was afraid that Zhang Jiao would gain power in the navy, if he spread his followers to the entire navy, these navy would become his Private deployment, therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, Wang Fu arranged some people to intentionally slander Zhang Jiao.

Wang Fu didn't think it was a slander, anyway, Zhang Jiao's fairy island was fake, he just exposed a deception, he looked at Zhang Jiao standing on the bow of the boat from a distance, thinking in his heart What are you talking about? This Zhang Jiao is really scary. For ten years, he desperately searched for a fairy island of nothingness. Many believers have already left.

But he never gave up. Many of the soldiers he sent even gave up their slander because he rescued them. However, they did not dare to tell Zhang Jiao about Wang Fu's confession. After all, they knew that Wang Fu What kind of person is he.

In this way, I don't know how long it has been sailing.

When the fleet saw the coast looming in front of them, the sailors were extremely excited. They hugged their opponents and cheered wildly. Wang Fu also showed a smile on his face. There were several small boats, and even the vanguard ship sank two ships. Fortunately, there were ships behind to support them, and not many people were lost.

The big ship docked on the coast, and Zhang Jiao was the first to lead the group to the island. They had previously reached Shewei from other sea areas, that is, the area where iron ore and gold are produced, but here, the waist of the snake-shaped Long Island, They had never arrived before, Zhang Jiao hurried to the shore, and began to lead his soldiers to search for them.

Wang Fu also got off the boat with the support of the soldiers. Huang Zhong looked around curiously. The soldiers watched Zhang Jiao enter the deep forest and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang went to look for his immortal again." Ha ha."

"Shut up!!!" Huang Zhong turned his head suddenly and roared like a tiger. The soldier was startled and nearly fell. Huang Zhong stared at him and said angrily, "Have you ever been injured? But Zhang Jun rescued you, you and other ungrateful people, what kind of face do you have under my command?!"

"Okay, let's discuss these things when we go back."

Wang Fu ordered, Huang Zhong had no choice but to hide his anger in his heart, and did not continue to speak. The soldier also lowered his head helplessly, and secretly glanced at Wang Fu again, wanting to show his face in front of Wang Jun. Cheng Xiang, but was hated by Huang Xiaowei, what should I do?
When the ship was stopped and left to take care of it, Wang Fu led the soldiers, followed Zhang Jiao, and stepped into this strange land where the big man had never been before. After walking for a long time, they saw the people surrounding the outside. The soldiers, Wang Fu and others rushed over immediately. These soldiers were holding long knives, and they were surrounding a group of thin, dark-faced indigenous people.

These aborigines were wrapped in furs, with leaves hanging on their bodies, and their long hair hung down to their waists. After being surrounded by the big Han soldiers, they looked at them in horror, squatting on the ground, their eyes full of pleading and despair, Wang Fu nodded, and said: "It's good if someone is there, let him lead the way and go to his village to have a look, and the rest, continue to explore the surroundings."

The soldiers pushed and shoved these natives, using gestures to make them move forward, gesticulating, and a few soldiers were chatting, talking about how happy Zhang Jiao was just now, and even jumped up, calling them immortals. It was some aborigines, and they couldn't help laughing when they talked about the beauty.

In front of a big tree in the distance, Zhang Jiao closed his eyes, leaned against the tree trunk, and sat quietly with his hands folded on his chest.

A sea breeze blows.

Suddenly, a few tears fell from his eyes all the way, and finally condensed on his chin,

"Clap."

It fell on the back of his limp hand.

His sad face suddenly relaxed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He found it, his fairy island.
