Chapter 208 High in the Sky
Chapter 208 High in the Sky
Haiping County Pier.
The big ship has started, and Li Quan is rubbing his hands and walking around on the deck excitedly.
I really didn't expect that there is a boat that can run without people rowing, and it can easily carry thousands of people on board.
The ship was sailing fast and steadily, and the lights on the ship were bright, but they were not powered by kerosene lamps or candles. Just press something called a switch and it would light up with a click.
Although it was already very late, no one was sleepy and they were excitedly sailing the two huge ships on the sea.
Sitting on the reef, Shen Kuo ate the dry food brought to him by the anti-Japanese navy, drank the water from his water bag, and looked at the big ship in the distance with envy.
He also wanted to get on board and see how the boat worked, but was stopped by the anti-Japanese navy.
He wanted to record the scene before him, but unfortunately, when he was captured by the Japanese pirates and taken to the island to do hard labor, he had been searched and his books, paper and pen were all gone.
On the ship, two signalmen ran to the deck and said to Li Quan with a note:
"General Li, the Imperial Master has sent an urgent report!"
Li Quan took the note and saw that it said: Send a ship quickly to the island where there are 20,000 Japanese pirates to pick up the people.
"How did this news get here?"
They are out at sea, with no one approaching them. And in the middle of the night, they can't use carrier pigeons, right?
The signalman said proudly:
"Of course we use the radio. General Li will follow the instructions of the Imperial Master."
What is radio? Li Quan was confused.
However, since the national master can make a boat that can run without people rowing, it is not surprising that he has his own special way of sending messages. These two people were left behind by the national master, and Li Quan trusts them.
So he gave the order to sail two large ships towards the island at full speed.
On Gu Xi's side, after sending the telegram, he pulled Wu Ben Chusheng out of the space and tied him up with a rope.
Then he left the room, took out a fighter plane, hung Takemoto Chusheng on the plane, and hung a huge searchlight above Takemoto Chusheng's head.
Just like that, on this dark and windy night, when the Japanese pirates were searching everywhere for Wu Benchusheng, suddenly a strong light shone down, and half of the island became as bright as day.
They looked up towards the light and saw their prince flying in the air with a huge lamp above his head, as if there was a sun above his head.
"Wow! Look! The prince is in the sky!"
The Japanese pirates below were all in an uproar. They were all very excited. Was their prince a god? He could actually fly!
But soon, they realized that those who could fly were not necessarily gods, but could also be birdmen.
Wu Ben Chusheng howled in mid-air:
"Ah! Help! Let me down!"
Wu Ben Chusheng screamed in horror. Who wouldn’t be scared when being hung in the air?
Especially when rushing forward quickly in mid-air, the wind blowing on the face felt like a knife cutting.
That night, he had to take itching medicine, use electric batons, give birth, and now fly high in the sky. He was so scared that he almost shit himself.
Gu Xi maneuvered the fighter jet to fly at a low altitude, and then played the translated recording to the Japanese pirates below through a loudspeaker.
"Listen up, Japanese pirates! Quickly send the captured An Ning people to the boat dock on the west side of the island. Don't leave any of them behind, or your prince will die!"
The sound was so loud that Wu Ben Chusheng, who was only a few meters away from the plane, felt like his ears were about to be deafened.
He shouted hurriedly:
"Quick! Release those women and slaves!"
The Japanese pirates quickly followed his instructions.
After all, compared with the life of their prince, those women and slaves are nothing.
The island was in chaos.
Gu Xi saw a large number of Japanese pirates driving the people towards the west of the island.
Li Quan, who was far away, could see from afar the "little sun" above the island, which was as bright as day and moving slowly, like a guiding light.
He immediately ordered:
"Quick, speed up the boat and go meet up with the Imperial Master."
Gu Xi flew the plane around the entire island, shouting through the loudspeaker as he flew to ensure that no civilians would be detained or forgotten.
"Listen up, people of An Ning! Gather at the island's west pier as soon as possible! An Ning's soldiers are here to rescue you! If any Japanese pirates dare to embarrass you, remember to shout for help!"
Under the searchlight, it was as bright as day, and everything below was clearly visible. The Japanese pirates dared not fool around.
By the time everyone gathered at the mooring, the sky was already turning pale.
Gu Xi steered the plane to the ground steadily. Wu Benchu shed tears and was speechless. Finally, they landed. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath with lingering fear.
The 20,000 Japanese pirates also gathered in the west of the island. In order to prevent any changes, Gu Xi stopped the plane and summoned out 800 soldiers.
Each of them was fully armed and stared at the Japanese pirates opposite with a fierce look.
Li Quan drove two huge ships slowly towards the island and docked at the shore.
"Li Quan, take the people on board!" Gu Xi shouted.
"I obey your command!" Li Quan's eyes flashed with excitement.
He really wanted to pay homage to the national teacher. Just now, he saw the magic weapon flying in the air from a distance. It was so cool!
Li Quan quickly organized soldiers from the navy to suppress the Japanese invasion and assisted the people in boarding the ships.
The people's eyes were filled with tears as they looked with gratitude at the figure standing at the bow of the ship. It was he who saved everyone's lives.
"General, what is the name of our benefactor?" a citizen asked.
Li Quan looked at Gu Xi with ardent eyes and said to everyone passionately:
"He is the hero who destroyed the Turks, the messenger of God who brought rain to the world, and the benefactor who saved us from the water and fire. He is our national teacher, and his name is Qi Dasheng!"
All the people knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of Gu Xi, silently remembering the name in their hearts.
Gu Xi couldn't take care of this side at the moment. She was commanding 800 soldiers to confront 20,000 Japanese pirates.
Chu Zhao next to him was holding Wu Ben Chusheng. With this hostage in hand, the Japanese pirates did not dare to act rashly.
There were about seven or eight hundred people on the island, and a ship was almost full. Gu Xi arranged for them to send these people back first.
She also took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and went to one of the empty cabins and put the twenty or so girls she had knocked unconscious into there. They were almost waking up.
There were more than a dozen Japanese pirate ships parked on the edge of the island. Not to mention, their ships were much stronger than the small, broken ships of the anti-Japanese navy. This might be related to the time-traveling emperor.
Gu Xi said to Li Quan:
"Tie these boats to our big ship with ropes and take them all away."
Li Quan immediately went to do it.
When the pirates saw that the ship was gone, they started a commotion. Chu Zhao pressed the "turtle box" against Wu Benchu's temple, frightening him so much that he hurriedly shouted to the pirates:
"Don't even move!"
Gu Xi laughed and said:
"Wu Ben Chusheng, since you are so sensible, then continue to play on the high-altitude swing. There are still three people on the island waiting for you to rescue them."
Wu Ben Chusheng shuddered. You call that swinging on a swing?
Please be a human being!
