Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 176
"My lord, it's only been a month since the good times, and troubles are coming. I don't think there are any fishing boats going out to sea today.

The entire Mingzhou City is now full of discussions, saying that we caught too much fish and angered the sea monster, so we bumped into the Zhu family's boat. "

Mingzhou Wharf, it was still daylight, Wang Zhiming and Xie Jin came here.

But when the sun had slowly risen, the pier was still peaceful.

The ship that should have been ready to go to sea in the past is now lying quietly on the sea.

This scene made Xie Jin feel flustered.

I haven't got the first-class evaluation yet, so why did something happen?

"As a state capital near the sea, there are endless legends about sea monsters.

But there are very few people who have actually seen sea monsters.

This time, according to the description of the people on Zhu's ship, they really saw the sea monster.

This situation is really worrying. "

Xie Jin sighed, worried about his future.

"Hey, envoy, look! Is that Qin Langjun and the others?"

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Wang Zhiming saw Qin Xiedao and his group approaching the pier.

As a time traveler, Qin Xiedao naturally likes to sleep in.

Even if he wanted to go to sea today, he just got up a little earlier than usual.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Xie Jin suddenly had a surge of hope in his heart.

Everyone is afraid to go to sea today, is Qin Langjun going to take the lead in going to sea in person?

Mingzhou City cannot live without sea fish.

It is far from the time to harvest the autumn grain. If there is no supplement from sea fish, life will not be able to survive.

……

"Qin Langjun, are you going to go fishing yourself today?"

Xie Jin didn't beat around the bush at all, he came to Qin Xiedao and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"No, no fishing today."

Qin Xiedao's answer surprised Xie Jin.

That's not how the script works.

"Actually... In fact, the idea of ​​sea monsters is completely false. I have been in Mingzhou for so many years, and I have never seen sea monsters."

Xie Jin thought that Qin Xiedao didn't plan to go fishing because he heard the rumors of sea monsters.

"No, I don't think it's a nonsense."

"what?"

Xie Jin felt a little confused today.

Why is Qin Xiedao's questions always unexpected?
"The sea is so big, it's normal to have some weird things. I'm going to take someone to capture the sea monster myself today. Maybe this sea monster is still a treasure."

"what?"

Xie Jin was shocked again.

"Really? But...but..."

At this time, Xie Jin felt that his mood was very contradictory.

If Qin Xiedao had the ability to catch the sea monster, he would be very happy.

But he was also worried that if the sea monster was too powerful, if something happened to Qin Xiedao at sea, it would not be what he wanted to see.

"Thank you, Inspector, we will soon need to build another workshop, and while you are free today, please help me find out which piece of land next to the pier can be bought and sold at any time.

Then you just wait here for our triumphant return. "

Qin Xiedao didn't bother to talk too much nonsense with Xie Jin, and directly started to take everyone on board.

……

"If we capture this sea monster today, it will definitely cause a sensation in Mingzhou City, and even the entire Jiangnan Road will spread our achievements. Just thinking about it makes people feel excited."

Fang Yi's love is infinite, and he is not at all worried that the sea monster will pose any threat to the people on his side.

"Three or four feet long, it swims directly in the sea like a boat. This kind of sea monster is really not that easy to deal with."

Cheng Chumo was rare to be cautious.

Although he didn't quite believe that there were really sea monsters in the sea, but even Qin Xiedao was ready to take action himself, so he wouldn't question it again.

"It is still necessary to be cautious, but this sea monster may not be as powerful as everyone fears. As long as we find its weakness and its activity pattern, we can catch one every day in the future."

Seeing the Mingzhou Wharf slowly disappearing from sight, Qin Xiedao was full of confidence in the upcoming "sea battle".

I don't know if it's Qin Xiedao's good luck or the "sea monster"'s bad luck.

An hour after the fleet left the pier, a watchman's sharp cry sounded from above the mast: "Sea monster, I saw a sea monster, and it is spraying water towards us over there."

With his cry, Yu Chihuan immediately climbed onto the mast smoothly, and then saw a side that shocked him.

A small fountain in the distance is constantly moving, and the scale is clearly beyond the reach of small animals.

Ever since he was a child, Yu Chihuan had never seen such a big animal.

"Brother Qin, what tactics will we use to catch the sea monster later? I'm also good at water, why don't I just jump into the sea and fight the sea monster?"

Fang Yiai was never afraid of anything.

Although his swimming skills are not good, his enthusiasm is very high.

"No, we don't understand the situation of this sea monster at all, but judging by its size, we know it should be a sea monster with infinite strength. We must be extremely careful and see if using the bed crossbow can solve the problem."

Although Cheng Chumo was also reckless, but today he disagreed with Fang Yiai's proposal.

Fortunately, at this time, Qin Xiedao didn't hold back anymore.

"You don't have to worry too much. This sea monster is actually a kind of fish. I call it a whale. This kind of whale is not very afraid of people. We can go towards it and catch it back.

There should be a lot of whale activities in the entire sea off Mingzhou. Although the whale meat is not very tasty, the whale oil is really a good thing, which can be used to make whale oil candles and lubricating oil.

And whale bones and the like also have their unique uses.

In my opinion, it won't take too long. The fishing and whaling industries here in Mingzhou will flourish immediately, bringing enough wealth to the people of Mingzhou. "

Although Qin Xiedao basically guessed that the sea monster that Zhu's family was talking about should be a whale yesterday.

But after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't say much yesterday.

Now I personally see the whales spraying water on the sea and coming towards the fleet, the feeling is completely different.

"Whale? Brother Qin, do you mean that this thing is not a sea monster, but something called a whale? This seems to be the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Except for Qin Xiedao, everyone else was very unfamiliar with whales.

Fortunately, Qin Xiedao didn't know much about the structure of whales, so after a casual exchange with everyone, it ended hastily.

Because the whale had come a hundred paces away from the fleet.
