Chapter 7770 Water Monkey
River surface.
On the big ship.
Zheng Xiong was lying on his side on the bed, his face sallow.
“Brother Zheng, I’m here to see you.”
The door opened, and a man in standard military uniform stepped in.
"General Lu...ah...it's hard to say anything."
Zheng Xiong managed to say a few words, shook his head and sighed.
The person he called General Lu was Lu Zhanlong.
Back then, Zhanlongzhai was defeated by Luo Xingchen's new navy. From then on, he entered the navy to train for many days and finally mastered the tactics of the new warship.
He has made several more meritorious deeds, and now he is in the navy and is already one of the commanders of the fleet.
On this trip north, it was he who commanded the fleet to transport Zheng Xiong and his group of Tujia people. In addition, he also led the navy to take orders from Luo Xingchen.
In this way, Luo Xingchen will have a direct army available.
"Brother Zheng, don't think too much. I got seasick like this before when I got on the warship." Lu Zhanlong comforted him.
Generally, people who have never been on a ship may get seasick after getting on a ship.
Lu Zhanlong encountered this situation many times when training new soldiers, and in the end he found a way to cure it.
“What happened next?” Zheng Xiong’s eyes showed a bit of expectation.
"Later, I got used to vomiting. After staying on the ship for three months, any problem will be cured."
Lu Zhanlong touched his chin and said.
He said it sincerely, but it was like a bolt from the blue when it fell in Zheng Xiong’s ears.
"Have you gotten used to it by spitting it out?"
A trace of bitterness appeared on Zheng Xiong's face.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zheng, a batch of seasickness medicine will be delivered tomorrow morning."
Lu Zhanlong suddenly remembered something.
"It will be delivered early tomorrow morning? Is that true?"
Hearing the news, Zheng Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before boarding the ship, Ma Fujun told him that there was no need to be afraid of seasickness, as there was special medicine.
As a result, I told him after getting on the boat that the medicine had been delayed on the way, and it was not certain when it would arrive.
This also caused Zheng Xiong to suffer from seasickness.
"The news is true, but the medicine is poisonous. It is better to take less of this medicine. If you can't help it, don't take it..."
"Brother Zheng, if you believe me, follow me out to sea for two months and I will keep you safe."
Lu Zhanlong patted his chest, looking very proud.
He is very experienced in treating seasickness.
His method is called fighting fire with fire.
“No, I don’t have that blessing, let me take medicine.”
Zheng Xiong waved his hand quickly, even if he didn't have the strength, he had to speak clearly to avoid Lu Zhanlong misunderstanding and let him take him away.
“Hey, Brother Zheng, let’s think about it again.”
Lu Zhanlong sighed and left with a look of pity.
The torture continued until the early morning of the next day.
Finally the medicine is on board.
The person who delivered the medicine was Ma Fujun. He got off the ship and personally escorted the medicine over to ensure that it was absolutely perfect.
There was no way, and he didn’t expect that the Tujia people would be so seasick.
Fortunately, the Jingcheng Science and Technology Garden has developed a new type of seasickness medicine.
In the cabin.
Zheng Xiong looked at the bowl of dark water in front of him and was stunned.
"Is this seasickness medicine?" Zheng Xiong looked up at Ma Fujun.
"Yes."
Ma Fujun was sitting drinking tea, and he said a word casually.
"Okay."
Although the soup in front of him looked quite disgusting, Zheng Xiong, who had been suffering from seasickness for most of the day and had not slept all night, had no other choice.
He picked up the bowl with both hands, closed his eyes, and drank the soup in one breath. "Ugh..."
The pungent smell of the medicine rushed straight into his nose, making him retching twice.
However, his stomach was empty and there was no food at all.
So I can’t vomit even if I want to.
"Master Ma, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry."
Zheng Xiong endured it and said with a wry smile.
“You have a good rest, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Ma Fujun nodded, and then he stood up and left.
Now Zheng Xiong needs to rest, and it is not suitable for him to stay in the house.
Zheng Xiong felt uncomfortable for a while, and as the medicine gradually took effect, he began to feel drowsy, so he simply raised his head and had a good sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dusk.
He felt much more comfortable, and most of the negative feeling of seasickness was eliminated.
Zheng Xiong stood up and opened the door. He saw that the crew members on the ship were already performing their duties.
"General Zheng, you're awake. Are you looking for Mr. Lu? Our commander-in-chief is in the command room." A sailor saw Zheng Xiong and came up to him.
"Don't be busy...why are you doing this?" Zheng Xiong asked doubtfully.
"The enemy has been discovered in the waters ahead, and we are facing the enemy." Said the sailor.
"What's the enemy situation?"
"This, General Zheng, you have to ask the commander-in-chief."
"Okay, I'll go to the command room right now. ”
Zheng Xiong nodded and walked towards the direction of the command room.
Along the way, the sailors saw Zheng Xiong, saluted him, and went about their own business.
Zheng Xiong walked all the way to the door of the command room. Before he entered, he heard Lu Zhanlong's rough voice.
"Hide the flag, hide the artillery, don't scare the enemy away."
Lu Zhanlong shouted.
"Brother Zheng, come quickly, the show is about to begin."
Lu Zhanlong turned his head and shouted to Zheng Xiong who was standing at the door.
Ma Fujun on the side also said: "Come in, Chief Zheng, there will be a good show in a while."
The hesitation in Zheng Xiong's heart disappeared, and he stepped into the command room. Come to the front.
“What’s the show?”
Zheng Xiong looked into the distance and saw only drizzle and mist filling the river, but he didn't see any enemy signs.
"You'll find out later."
Lu Zhanlong smiled mysteriously and let it slip.
I didn’t wait too long, and suddenly a boat came riding the wind and waves.
“Did you see that flag? That’s the famous water pirate water monkey nearby.” Lu Zhanlong pointed at the flag on the boat speeding ahead.
Zheng Xiong took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a vivid monkey embroidered on the flag.
“Aren’t we going to shell out?” Zheng Xiong didn’t know much about water warfare, but when he got on the ship, he saw many steel cannons on the warship.
"That would be boring. A salvo of artillery can break their ship into a sieve."
Lu Zhanlong shook his head.
The boat on the opposite side did not slow down at all and rushed straight over.
"This, do they want their lives?"
Lu Zhanlong was dumbfounded. He originally thought that the Water Monkeys were not smart, but who knew that they were so stupid? It was really unimaginable.
"It's just that the water monkey doesn't recognize the new warships. Could it be that he thinks his ship is strong enough?"
Ma Fujun was also slightly startled.
"It's hard to say. Who knows what they were thinking. Maybe they just had a brain cramp." Lu Zhanlong.
"Maybe he was dazzled and thought our ship was bad."
Zheng Xiong said.
"It is also possible. Our ship, from a distance, looks like an ordinary cargo ship." Lu Zhanlong nodded.
