Chapter 162 Arriving at Rice Wife
The Guili has been sailing on the vast ocean for more than a year. The skin of the three thousand Qianyan soldiers has long been tanned into a copper color by the scorching sun on the sea, and their bodies have also become much thinner.
During the first month, this group of landlubbers who had never been on a long voyage suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and became as thin as bamboo poles. Fortunately, after they got used to the routine, their bodies gradually recovered.
Although the body recovered, the spiritual exhaustion was difficult to recover from.
The vast ocean is what you see, the waves are rolling under your feet, and the sky is blue with white clouds, it is extremely monotonous.
To this end, Zhu Yuncheng taught them to sing songs from their previous lives, which of course had been adapted.
"The bitter sand that hurts my face is like my father's scolding and my mother's embrace, which I will never forget...."
When a group of people in their twenties and thirties sang this song, they couldn't stop shedding tears. This song also became the song that the Three Thousand Qianyan Army sang to kill time when they were bored.
At this moment, it was noon. Zhu Yuncheng stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the boundless ocean in front of him. Suddenly, a figure passed by him.
"Kai Yangxing, why don't you stay in your room, old man? Why are you running out here?"
The one who was scolded by Zhu Yuncheng was none other than the elderly Kai Yangxing. A few days ago, a strong wind suddenly blew over the sea, and dark clouds covered the sky. Although Zhu Yuncheng was there, heavy rain was unlikely to fall, but the strong wind still made Kai Yangxing catch a cold and have a fever.
"Your Majesty, it's too boring to stay in the room. I can't sit still." Kai Yangxing begged for mercy. "It's not raining or blowing now. Your Majesty, please let me go out for a while and brag to the other guys about the time when I went to the Shenyu Valley with Your Majesty."
"After this year, you're not tired of talking about it, and others are not tired of hearing it either?" Zhu Yuncheng laughed.
Kai Yang Xing laughed loudly: "Long live the Human King, how can I get tired of talking about going on an expedition with you? Even now, those guys are still asking me how I managed to cross the Shenyu River four times and make the 400,000 human and monster armies run around in circles!"
Speaking of the Four Crossings of the Chenyu River, Zhu Yuncheng couldn't help but feel a little proud. At this moment, Ruo Tuo's three-meter-tall figure appeared, casting a large shadow: "Yongle, I found a large group of connected islands, only three days away from you."
Zhu Yuncheng was delighted: "Ruo Tuo, can you remember the general shapes of those islands?"
"Yongle, you want to go to the island?" Ruo Tuo advised, "I naturally remember the general shapes of those islands, but I also feel the breath of demons on those islands, so we'd better stay away from them."
"What are you afraid of, Ruotu? As long as I am here, the devil has nothing to fear." Zhu Yuncheng patted his chest.
Hearing this, Ruo Tuo nodded gently; "That's good, but I won't go with you. I will continue to return to the earth veins. Call me when you need me."
As he spoke, Ruo Tuo drew the shape of the island there. Zhu Yuncheng was excited when he saw it. "I thought it would take two or three years for the rice to be harvested, but I didn't expect it to be harvested in just one year."
After Ruo Tuo left, Zhu Yuncheng said to Kai Yang Xing: "Call all the Qianyan troops to gather on the deck!"
Soon, the three thousand Qianyan troops had gathered.
Zhu Yuncheng stood on a high place, Ganyu and Kaiyangxing were behind him, and he only heard the former say: "Soldiers of the Qianyan Army, you followed me on this vast ocean for a whole year, exposed to the wind and sun, you have worked hard. Now, on our route, the Ruotu Dragon King has discovered several islands with traces of human life, and there are demons on the islands. Do you know what I mean?"
"Long live the Human King, but do we need to kill that demon god and occupy those islands?" a Qianyan soldier replied.
Zhu Yuncheng smiled, then suddenly waved his hand in the direction of Inazuma: "That's right, we need to occupy those islands, otherwise why would I train you? I train you, the Qianyan Army, to use you to measure the area of Guili's land. Military force is the foundation for maintaining our rule over Guili. Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!"
Hearing this, the other Qianyan soldiers showed excitement on their faces and shouted: "Long live the Human King!"
They had originally followed the Human King to conquer new areas. Now, after hearing such inspiring words from the Human King, the exhaustion from a year of sailing life was swept away, and was replaced by endless battles.
But Ganyu looked puzzled.
In the evening, Gan Yu came to Zhu Yuncheng's room, and Zhu Yuncheng had already expected her to come and sat in a chair waiting.
"Brother, didn't you say that your purpose of coming to this sea was to kill Orobas?" Ganyu asked, "Why did it become conquest?"
"Ganyu, killing Orobas has always been my main goal, but occupying that island is my fundamental goal." Zhu Yuncheng explained, "The demons on those islands are the Thunder and Lightning Sisters who I met once on Sky Island."
"Brother, are you here to seek revenge on them? How do you know they are here?" Gan Yu asked curiously.
"Because I'm a time traveler, what else?" Zhu Yuncheng thought to himself, and then said on the surface: "Of course I got the information through channels, so don't ask about this."
Seeing this, Gan Yu did not ask any more questions, but said: "Brother, if you want to occupy this place, it is too much of a stretch. It takes a whole year to get here from Guili. Even if you occupy it, how many people are willing to stay in such a place?"
"Alas, Ganyu, you are wrong." Zhu Yuncheng shook his head and said, "We should not send people to garrison there, but we should defeat them and let them garrison there for us. Then, every three years, we should send people to Guili to offer gifts. If they don't come, I don't mind conquering them again."
"This." Gan Yu didn't expect her senior brother to say such a thing. "Senior brother, you..."
"You don't know how to describe your senior brother, right?" Zhu Yuncheng smiled and rubbed Gan Yu's head. "This is called the aura of a king. I am the king of men. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is my land. All the people in the world are my subjects. Even if they are demon gods, they must bow down before me!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng seemed to be confirming Chi's words before his death. Human beings are short-span creatures that will release their greedy desires without restraint once they have power. But there is a saying that goes, "If a man does not display his lofty ambitions, his eight-foot body will be wasted!"
I will do as much as I am able. If I am poor, I will take care of myself. If I am rich, I will help the world. Now is the time to make the other six countries of Teyvat surrender and leave.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but the passion of the Three Thousand Qianyan Army did not diminish in the slightest.
Zhu Yuncheng climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. He could already see the outline of Inazuma Island. At the same time, Lei Dianying, who was meditating in Inazuma City, suddenly felt that there was another life approaching Inazuma, so he stood up and looked.
"Aying, what's wrong?" Lei Dian was processing documents. Seeing his sister like this, he stood up and asked.
"There is another life approaching, and it is coming from the direction of the outlying island, not from Heguan Island. It seems that the monsters on the edge of Teyvat are still not at peace." Lei Dianying said.
"Wait a minute, maybe it's not one of those magical beasts that have come into contact with the power of the abyss. It's better to go and take a look first." Lei Dianzhen said and was about to go, but was stopped by Lei Dianying, "Zhen, it will be very dangerous for you to do this, just leave it to me."
After saying that, Lei Dianying exerted his power, and for a moment, dark clouds covered the sea, and purple thunder flashed densely in the clouds.
Zhu Yuncheng looked up at the thunderous dark clouds that were almost pressing down on his head, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I was thinking of an excuse to beat you, such as one of my Qianyan soldiers got lost on an outlying island, and I didn't expect you to come to me on your own."
