Chapter 1082 He fell into the sea and became fish food!
In the blink of an eye, half an hour, or an hour, passed quickly.
Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing stood side by side on the ship's railing, gazing at the vast sea, enjoying the sea breeze, and whispering to each other.
Chu Feng, Ouyang Yunxiang, and Battalion Commander Lei had wandered off somewhere, while Xiao Hu, with several soldiers, stood guard nearby, never leaving their side.
At this moment, Prince Joelif, along with Brian, General William, and Henry, hurriedly arrived. Upon seeing Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward apologetically, saying, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, please forgive our poor hospitality. We did not allow you to go and rest. Why don't you come with us to the cabin for a while?"
After saying that, Jolie led the two of them to the reception room on the first deck.
After they were seated, Chu Chenjing looked up at Qiao Lifu and the others and said calmly, "Your Highness, have you finished your work?"
Henry quickly translated for them.
Joliffe had been with them for several days and, without hiding anything, said with a smile:
“We have already counted the quantity of goods you sold to us. Thanks to the two of you for selling us so many good goods, I, the prince, will be able to give my father a good account when I return to the continent of Luoba.”
Chu Chenjing raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "That's good. If you like our Western Chu goods, you are welcome to come again in the future."
Chu Chenjing paused for a moment, then continued, "I am also here to congratulate Your Highness, Earl, and General on your successful voyage!"
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing!" Joliv said with delight. "If the goods we brought back this time sell well in our Luoba Continent, then we will definitely come to your Western Chu Kingdom again this year. We hope that Your Highness Prince Jing and Princess Jing will not look down on us."
He then changed the subject, saying, "Your Highness, the gold for this purchase has been prepared and will be handed over to you by Charles shortly."
Chu Chenjing glanced at him and said calmly, "Alright, I'll have Ouyang Dongjia and Guard Chu go and make the handover with Mr. Charles later."
Brian continued, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, let them handle the handover. You may go to your rooms to rest. His Highness has already ordered rooms to be prepared for you."
"Prepare rooms?" Chu Chenjing looked slightly surprised. "No need for that. We'll set off back tonight."
"Leaving tonight? Absolutely not!" Joliv was a little anxious and waved his hands repeatedly. "How can that be! You must stay for a few days no matter what, so that I, the prince, can properly entertain you."
Chu Chenjing pondered for a moment, exchanged a glance with Ouyang Yunyao, and then said, "Your Highness, there's no need for several days. Why don't we stay for one night and set off early tomorrow morning?"
He then added, "You will have plenty of opportunities to entertain us in the future. When we go to your continent of Luoba, Your Highness will be able to extend your hospitality."
"Is Your Highness Prince Jing's statement true?" Upon hearing this, Jolief and Brian's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison.
"That's exactly what I'm planning!" Chu Chenjing said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, General William reacted as if he had heard a joke. He suddenly raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "Your Highness Prince Jing, do you have a large ship like ours that can sail at sea for many days?"
Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes turning cold, and asked in return, "General! Are you referring to ships like yours?"
“Of course! Without ships as large as ours, how could you have sailed across the ocean and reached our continent of Roba?” William said arrogantly, raising his head.
“General! This is not right!” Joliv frowned and glanced at William.
“Your Highness, am I wrong?” William refused to back down, completely disregarding Jollif’s expression.
Chu Chenjing completely ignored his arrogance; their Yuzhou Continent was indeed inferior to the Luoba Continent.
But they didn't have it, while his little princess had it in her space! He thought of the giant ship in Ouyang Yunyao's space, which was much larger than the two wooden boats of the Luoba people.
Thinking of this, he curled his lips into a cold smile: "General William is right. Without such a large ship, it would be absolutely impossible to sail on the vast ocean for several months."
He paused, his gaze as cold as stars falling on William's face. "However, my Western Chu Kingdom has a ship that is much larger than your Divine Eagle, General. When the King of Japan leads his fleet to your Luoba Continent, General will be able to see it."
Upon hearing this, William was immediately startled, his face filled with disbelief.
In his eyes, their Divine Eagle was already the best warship on their Luoba Continent, and the ships on this Yuzhou Continent were simply inferior to theirs.
Looking around, not a single ship on the dock caught his eye. The largest was only half the size of their Divine Eagle. He snapped out of his reverie, his face full of disdain: "Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"
When Ouyang Yunyao heard him question Chu Chenjing, a hint of anger flashed across her face, but it quickly turned into a half-smile as she looked at William and said:
"General William, to be honest, our ships are not only bigger than yours, but also better built."
He then looked at him smugly and said, "Not only can our ships easily go to the continent of Luoba, but our giant iron bird can also fly there."
"That huge iron bird can fly across the ocean?" William exclaimed. He simply couldn't believe that such a massive, iron-like creature could fly across the sea.
His question elicited doubt from Joliffe and the others. Indeed! Could that giant iron bird fly that far? It probably wouldn't even last a day.
Before Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao could answer, he continued with a mocking expression, "That lump of iron, you think it can fly for more than two months? Don't you eat or drink? It'll probably crash into the sea and feed the fish!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't argue with William or explain directly, but simply glanced at Jolie and the others.
He then said with a smile, "General William, you might as well ask His Highness the Prince, Earl Brian, and Mr. Henry."
She paused deliberately and said, "It will take them ten days to travel by horse-drawn carriage, but our big iron bird will arrive in no time."
After Ouyang Yunyao said that, Joeliffe, Brian, and Henry were taken aback at first, but then suddenly realized.
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment! Indeed! Their carriage would take ten days to travel, while this great iron bird of the Western Chu Kingdom had only flown there in a little over two hours.
So, even if their ships sail at sea for two months and their giant iron birds fly in the sky, it's probably only...
