Chapter 970 Hunting Kunpeng [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"..." Fan Yuqi and Yan Chunjun were both silent.

Only Wei Ju could say such words.

If any Qin general came here, no matter whether he was rich or poor, he would do something first before talking.

"What I'm curious about is, how many warships and tower ships are there in the navy under Shui Jun's command now?" Fan Yuqi suddenly asked curiously.

It is impossible for all members of the navy to come to Incheon Port to help them cross the sea and reach Yingzhou.

What's more, they knew very well that Wei Ju must have left a naval fleet of at least three warships in Kuaiji, the naval base. Together with the navy responsible for water transportation on the Yangtze River, Huai River and Yellow River, it meant that the naval fleet in front of them was only a part of the naval fleet under Wei Ju, or even only one third of it.

"On average, we can launch one tower ship and three warships every ten days. As for other small boats, there are countless of them!" Wei Ju thought about it and made a rough calculation.

After annexing the State of Chu, the navy had several shipyards.

One is the shipyard where the navy originated, one was built later at the mouth of the Huai River, and one is the Kuaiji Shipyard that originally belonged to the Chu State. In addition, there is the Langya Shipyard built in a joint venture with the Qi State in the past two years and the Luoyang Shipyard funded by the Qin State. In other words, the navy now has five major shipyards.

Warships were launched into the water like dumplings.

All Chinese cities were built along rivers, so the navy had no shortage of boatmen and helmsmen.

Because of this, Wei Ju sometimes didn't know exactly how many fleets he had under his command.

Even now, he doesn't think highly of ordinary canal ships. Unless they are sea vessels built by top masters such as the Mohist School, the Gongshu School, and the Yin-Yang School, Wei Ju really doesn't think highly of them.

"Terrible!" Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi looked at Wei Ju in shock.

It is true that a good father will have a good son. What's more, in addition to his father, Xinling Jun, who was famous all over the world, Wei Ju also had an elder brother, Xuanwu Emperor, who was both his brother and father. With this blessing, Wei Ju was extremely powerful.

Judging from the current size of the navy, it could easily annex any of the seven former feudal lords.

Even now, it would be easy for Wei Ju to destroy them.

"The King of Qin can actually tolerate you!" Yan Chunjun admired Ying Zheng's courage even more.

If it were any other king, Wei Ju would have been killed long ago. For an innocent crime, dying eight hundred times would not be too much.

If you don’t die, who will? You control the world’s water conservancy hubs and river transportation.

All we can say is that Wei Ju was lucky to have met a monarch with great courage.

Fan Yuqi didn't quite agree. It was one thing that Ying Zheng had courage, but Wei Ju's own strength made it so that the Qin State did not dare to touch him. In addition, Yan Yan was behind Wei Ju, so the Qin State was even more afraid to touch him.

It can only be said that Wei Ju and his navy are now a powerful existence that is difficult to get rid of. The entire Qin State is extremely wary of them, but they are helpless and both love and hate them.

"As long as King Zheng of Qin and Emperor Xuanwu are still alive, no one can touch the Lord of Water!" Fan Yuqi reminded Wei Ju just in time.

The existence of Ying Zheng and Yan Yan is the backing for Wei Ju to live well.

Once Ying Zheng passed away and without the support of Bingzhou, the new King of Qin would inevitably take action against Wei Ju.

The human heart is hard to satisfy.

Wei Ju could hand over 30% of the profits to the King of Qin, and then the next King of Qin would be satisfied with the 30% profits? Who would only want 30% when they can get all of it?
Wei Ju looked at Fan Yuqi and Yan Chunjun, and knew that this was not their strategy to sow discord. Without the support of Ying Zheng and Yan Yan, the Qin nobles would pounce on them like vicious dogs and divide up the navy.

Therefore, Wei Ju did not actually put all his eggs in one basket. His business now spread across the nine ministers of Qin State, and also had external connections with Bingzhou, Qi State, and Later Yan.

He wanted to build Xinling Jun's lineage into a huge spider web with connections and interests spread all over the world, so that whoever wanted to touch his lineage would have to consider whether they could bear the consequences.

However, Wei Ju had no intention of explaining to Fan Yuqi and Yan Chunjun.

"These things are all things of the future. What I want to do most now is to send all of you to Yingzhou, let you gain a firm foothold, and then..." Wei Ju smiled strangely.

"Then what?" Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi both became interested and wanted to know what could attract Wei Ju so much.

"Hunting Kunpeng!" Wei Ju said domineeringly.

He has had people track down and find the habitat of a group of Kunpeng birds, and have figured out their living habits.

"Hunting Kunpeng!" Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi both gasped.

This is the legendary sacred beast, and it is not the small sacred spirits like the turtle and deer on land, but the Kunpeng, whose size is comparable to that of a building ship or a warship.

What's more, Kunpeng lives in the sea, and people can only find a foothold by standing on ships or warships.

All I can say is that Wei Ju was a little too arrogant and too bold.

"The Taoist Tianzong is even more radical than me. Not long ago, the Taoist Tianzong's leader Chisongzi brought two elders and used my navy ship to go to the East China Sea to hunt a giant Kunpeng King with a body size of thirty feet. However, they were not used to life on the ship, and the other party escaped, almost killing everyone on the ship."

Wei Ju said with some regret.

In the Taoist Tianzong's Xiaoyaoyou, the object of visualization is Kunpeng, so Taoists want to catch and kill a Kunpeng more than anyone else, and then dissect it to gain knowledge through the study of things.

However, the two elders, Chisongzi and Tianzong, were too ambitious. They looked down on ordinary Kunpeng and insisted on looking for the King Kunpeng. As a result, the navy lost a tower ship, a warship and dozens of light manta rays.

But this also accumulated experience for them to hunt Kunpeng. They didn't dare to attack King Kunpeng again, but they were still confident in hunting ordinary Kunpeng.

"A bunch of lunatics and a bunch of idiots!" Fan Yuqi shook his head.

The Taoists are all crazy, but they met a group of daring naval officers and soldiers. What is there that they dare not do?

The key is that both gangs are not short of money!
If the Later Yan lost a tower ship or a warship, it would be heartbroken. But looking at Wei Ju, he didn't take it to heart at all, as if it was a trivial matter.

"Forget it, you are rich and powerful, we can't compare with Hou Yan, so let's just land in Yingzhou honestly!" Yan Chunjun shook his head and didn't think too much.

They now do not have the energy or qualifications to participate in such a crazy way of spending money.

“Okay, after sending your last group to Yingzhou Island, I will also go to the East China Sea to meet up with Master Chisongzi and watch them hunt Kunpeng!” Wei Ju smiled and commanded the warships to escort the last elite troops of the Yan State to Yingzhou Island.

As for how Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi played with the group of naked natives on the island, he was too lazy to care.

If the State of Yan could not even control a group of naked natives, it would have deserved its demise.
