Chapter 674 God, please bless us!
"Ji~~"
The sticky blood condensed into a pool of red eyes on the deck along the cracked skin. In the weak moan, the captain of the ship stepped forward to check the injury and let out a heavy breath. Fortunately, he was not killed. He turned around and pulled the two men who were struggling into a ball. He raised his hand and punched Sanders to hit the side of the ship. He went over and pinched the other party's bloody chin and pulled it in front of him, showing fierce eyes.
"Do you know that we want to get rich because we rely on this Siren. The boat we have been running for half a lifetime will not be able to withstand this trip. If she dies, I will hang your tendons on the bow of the boat and feed them to the sharks!"
Over there, the young man from the cabin found medicine to apply the dying Siren, and wrapped it in a circle of bandages. When everyone heard the captain's words, they stood by the mermaid silently and prayed not to die.
"The few strokes I just sucked were enough to make Siren a rule. Sanders was such a waste. If the wealth he got was lost by him, I would be the first to kill him and then sell his wife to a brothel for money!"
"......before selling, I also beat his woman like this."
When running boats at sea, most of them are people who dare to exchange their lives for money. They have been trapped in their hands and have lives on ordinary ships. Sometimes, they lose money when they go to sea to intercept some small boats to supplement their losses, not to mention that they have almost cut off their financial resources.
Moreover, the capture of Siren has long been spread along the way, just to spread the matter to the emperor. Not only can you get wealth, but you can also gain a reputation among the people and peers. At that time, it will be no more than one or two ships. Maybe you will be transformed, get a title, or add several large ships to form a fleet.
If the Siren had an accident on the way to Constantine, it would be difficult for him to eliminate his anger by killing this companion named Sanders.
Fortunately, when the young man named Uka squatted next to the Siren, he gave them a reassuring gesture. The hung hearts of the crowd finally came true. The knife raised in his hand slowly dropped down, and he glared fiercely at Sanders, who was squatting on the side of the ship with his head in his arms, and then returned to his respective positions and continued to drive the ship to speed up.
"I love my wife very much!!" Seeing that she saved her life, Sanders raised his head and shouted at them, which attracted everyone's attention and quickly squatted back and hugged his head.
On the undulating and surging sea, white sails swelled, and sea boats were sailing through the waves. The news of the Siren captured on the ship spread along the coast in about ten days, especially when they saw other passing ships of Siren hanging on the mast, they directly confirmed the news.
Especially when he received the news that the legendary sirens were given to the emperor, the local officials quickly sent a letter ship and the fastest way to Constantine from sea and land to deliver it to Emperor Focas.
Such strange stories are even rumored to be magical. The people of Constantine who heard about these things had long been looking forward to the city, judging the time of sailing ships, and often went to Chuangang Wharf to explore or look out for the sea level.
The crowded and noisy streets extend into the city. In the huge castle, crystal clear chandeliers burned flames. In the middle of the hall covered with red velvet blankets, a figure hurriedly ran in with a small roll of letter paper, and passed the generals and administrative officials on both sides of the red carpet, holding the roll of paper with both hands and handing them on the middle.
At the first place, the emperor named Forcas frowned with a crown and turned his head slightly towards the guard beside him. The latter stepped forward and took the paper roll and handed it to the emperor's hand. Then slowly unfolded it. Looking at the content above, the emperor's mouth smiled.
Originally, the generals were summoned to tell whether the aristocrats of the provinces, the administrative officials who were slanderous, and the assassination of Governor Karabusa, would be related to these people?
But the news made him feel quite comfortable. After all, he was just a centurion, and later forced a confession to kill the emperor, and then he obtained the throne. The nobles and officials from various provinces were very dissatisfied with their behavior. If they knew that Karabusa was the governor and they killed him, then he would be righteous in sending troops.
The news sent at this time was about the Siren, the legendary Siren, who was captured by the people under his rule during his tenure as emperor, and was to be presented to the throne, which was of great political benefit.
After a moment, he put away the letter paper and handed it to the clerk for safekeeping. He recorded it. His smile remained unabashed. He stood up from the throne and asked the messenger to retreat. Then he looked at the generals and officials who were somewhat confused in his eyes.
"The Siren Siren is about to arrive in Constantine."
There was an uproar below. I had heard this rumor before, but it was only from all over the country. I couldn't tell it. However, I was surprised to hear the emperor's words of affirmation.
Focas looked at everyone's expressions with satisfaction and walked slowly down the red carpet: "...Sirens are evil gods in the sea. According to rumors, they often use charming singing to lure passing ships to approach, and eat the bewitched sailors on it. Now they are captured, God is already standing on my side!"
Immediately, I waved: "Tell my subjects, all the people of Constantine, to go to the harbor together and witness the gifts given to me by the Gods!"
The next morning, the emperor's holy order spread in the city, and the sun gradually rose to the gap in the clouds, the emperor's ceremonial chariot and chariot had already left the castle. Several white horses pulled a four-wheeled cart with gold-clad borders and rushed to the harbor under the guard of soldiers. The people in the city and farmers outside the city rushed to the largest harbor in the city on the morning of that day. The ships that looked far away had not arrived yet, and it was already full of scattered figures. From a distance, it was covered with darkness.
Amid the waves of morning light, a large ship gradually appeared on the sea level in the distance. Several royal warships that had been waiting for received orders were dispatched together, like welcoming the warriors who were going to fight for triumphant battles, protecting them on both sides and slowly sailing back to the port together.
Looking at the giant city standing on the flat-topped lonely hill, and the crowds of people in the harbor below. On the sea boat named Bai Zhenzhu, more than a dozen crew members stood on the bow of the boat and took off their hats and shouted excitedly to the other side. Some people suppressed their surging mood and started praying.
"It's almost time to reach the harbor, the royal fleet has been dispatched, and the emperor must have come."
"...I seem to have seen wealth, titles, and hundreds of beauties waved to us in front of me."
"God, please bless us."
The whispering prayer seemed to be felt. The sea breeze gradually grew stronger and the boats were blowing faster. On their way to the port of Constantine, on the other side of the strait, tiny stone particles fell off the sea cliffs below and sank into the sea surface.
A donkey's hoof stopped at the edge of the cliff. Lu Liangsheng seemed to hear a prayer, his eyes were cold and cold, and he turned to the blue sea far outside the cliff. In the under his eyes, six warships escorted a middle ship to sail towards the giant city harbor opposite the strait.
"grumble......"
A weak moan rang slightly on the deck. The young man guarding the Siren turned around and saw the weak mermaid moving a few times at this time. He raised his face and looked out in a certain direction outside the ship. He seemed to feel the familiar breath. A smile suddenly appeared on his pale face and screamed excitedly.
"grumble?!"
Wuka followed her gaze in confusion and turned around to look at the sea cliff in the distance. Unfortunately, ordinary people's eyes were hard to see, but there was a vague tiny and blurry black shadow standing there.
However, the next moment, the strong wind blew in his ears, which made his eyes narrow, raised his arms to block his face, and the masts on the boat were creaking and shaking.
In the distance, on the sea cliff, Lu Liangsheng stood by the cliff facing the wind, his hair was flying, his robe was blowing, and he slowly stretched out and raised his hands, and a light blue light appeared in his eyes.
Then, slowly closed his eyes and the bright daylight went dark.
