Gao Yingjie had fully estimated the situation at hand. Although he has not seen the appearance of the hailstone yet, and it is his conjecture that the hailstone is an artifact, but he has absolutely reason to believe that a conscious hailstone is definitely not something he can handle.
It is important for people to know themselves. Gao Yingjie is the most outstanding next successor of the Gao family who grew up in the struggle with the sea. He is naturally not a foolhardy person. Since the current situation has reached such a bad level, the first thing he needs to do is not to bet against the Haibingzhi who has not seen his true form, but to think about the worst of the situation in order to be prepared for the solution.
Gao Yingjie¡¯s plan is very practical. The Gao family¡¯s rope-tying method has its own rope heads on each building ship, and these rope heads will eventually be gathered on the flagship. The flagship is the core command system of the entire fleet. No matter how many ships are lost, the flagship can never fail. As long as the flagship falls, the fleet will basically be finished.
Under the protection of Lou Wuxin, Emperor Taiping stood on the deck of the flagship. Seeing Gao Yingjie rushing over, Emperor Taiping immediately asked Gao Yingjie about the current situation. Although Emperor Taiping is not a wise Holy Lord, he is still a generation of emperors who grew up in the emperor's family. He can see that the current situation is not optimistic. And in the vast East China Sea, all the hopes of this fleet are undoubtedly focused on Gao Yingjie. Therefore, at this time, Gao Yingjie's weight became very important, and Emperor Taiping's tone when he asked Gao Yingjie became softer.
"Your Majesty, as long as we have our ministers here, we will never let Your Majesty be put in danger. For the sake of the honor of our Gao family, I will deliver Your Majesty to the shore safely." Gao Yingjie knelt down.
Gao Yingjie did not deny that the current situation was very bad, which made Emperor Taiping feel cold. Although Emperor Taiping knew that the situation was not good, deep down in his heart he hoped that Gao Yingjie could give him some comfort. Emperor Taiping had never experienced such a thing as making a living on the sea. Seeing that the sky above the sea was terrifyingly gloomy, the black clouds seemed to be able to press on the building and ship immediately, as if they could be caught with just one hand. Same. In addition, such dense hail was pouring down, strong winds were gathering, and the waves on the sea were now getting higher and higher. These situations made Emperor Taiping feel frightened.
Under such circumstances, there is actually no difference between his generation of emperors and an ordinary person, and is even worse than an ordinary person. He completely relied on sailors with rich sailing experience like Gao Yingjie to escort him.
Gao Yingjie bent down and knelt down, which made Emperor Taiping's heart tremble. Above the high hall, he was used to hearing the courtiers' way of speaking in different ways, but now he saw Gao Yingjie, a straight-forward general like him. The crisis appeared in front of him, and Emperor Taiping immediately lost his mind.
"Gao Aiqing, I know you are a brave man on the sea, but in this weather, I'm afraid it's beyond human power, right?" Emperor Taiping tested Gao Yingjie's reaction again. He really wanted to hear a positive answer from Gao Yingjie. The answer was of course that weather like this was just a common occurrence for him, Gao Yingjie.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is beyond our expectations. Don't worry about your Majesty's ridicule, this storm is the strongest storm I have ever encountered since I went to sea. To be honest, the current situation of our fleet is quite critical, so, The first thing I need to consider is the safety of Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty is safe, even if we sacrifice the lives of all the crew members of our Gao family, including the lives of our ministers, we will not hesitate to die for the empire."
"Okay, okay. Don't talk about whether you will die or not." Emperor Taiping felt unhappy, and his face naturally showed disappointment.
The storm was so fierce that all the sailors in your fleet, Gao Yingjie, died. Even you, Gao Yingjie, sacrificed their lives. How could you save my life? Emperor Taiping was anxious and irritable, but now he couldn't find a good outlet. He looked at Lou Wuxin, who had been protecting him all the time. Thinking that the Lou family's house was confiscated by his own decree, he still felt a little sorry. of.
"Lou Wuxin, I think I feel a little guilty towards your Lou family. I was provoked by a traitor and thought that your Lou family had second thoughts about me, so I became so angry. Now, I If you are in danger, you can still stay by my side, and when you return to the empire, I will definitely rehabilitate your Lou family."
There was no sign of what Emperor Taiping said. For Lou Wuxin, this was a sudden attack by Emperor Taiping. He never dreamed that the Lou family's injustice would be vindicated by the empire. He never dreamed that the old man of the Lou family would warn him. If so, never betray the empire at any time. Now, suddenly hearing the news from Emperor Taiping that the Lou family was about to be rehabilitated, Lou Wuxin suddenly felt a surge of sadness in his heart and hurriedly walked to the side next to Gao Yingjie.position, also knelt down.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Lou Wuxin said these words from his heart, and there was a slight tremor in his voice as he spoke.
"Okay, okay, let's get back together, my dear friends. Now is a critical moment, Lou Aiqing, don't protect me anymore, let's see if there is anything we can do to help Gao Jiaqing, there are always more people with more power."
"Then Your Majesty"
"Then Your Majesty"
Gao Yingjie and Lou Wuxin said in unison.
"Me? Haha, it doesn't matter, I will just go to the cabin. I believe that the two generals of our empire will not be easily defeated by the bad weather in the East China Sea, so you go ahead and do it. I will treat you Absolute trust. Okay, now that we have said this, I am going back to the cabin. Lou Aiqing, just go and help Gao Aiqing, you don¡¯t have to stay by my side anymore."
Emperor Taiping has always been under the domineering protection of Lou Wuxin. In order to show his determination, Emperor Taiping resolutely walked out of Lou Wuxin's domineering protective circle and walked straight towards the cabin.
The words of Emperor Taiping were his will. Even if Lou Wuxin wanted to follow Emperor Taiping back to the cabin, he couldn't do it. He could only stay where he was and watch the back of Emperor Taiping flicker towards the cabin.
Emperor Taiping tried his best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but those hailstones that fell densely did not care whether you were the emperor or not. In addition, Emperor Taiping did not have the slightest bit of domineering power. After a few crisp sounds, Emperor Taiping's head was already swollen. Got several big bags.
Although Emperor Taiping suffered a little, his dignity as an emperor could not be lost. Although his face, which was carrying Gao Yingjie and Lou Wuxin, became a little distorted as he kept gasping for air, his back was definitely Be calm and dignified.
From the deck to the cabin, Emperor Taiping would have arrived at such a short distance in just a few long strides. Today's situation was a bit special. In order to support the emperor's face, he deliberately moved his steps very slowly, which made it tight. I actually ate a lot of hailstones that I didn't need to eat.
Gao Yingjie and Lou Wuxin were helpless. Emperor Taiping was not as domineering as Hou Xi. This was something that everyone in the inner palace and his ministers knew. Their emperor was too face-saving. They wanted to help but couldn't, so they could only let it go. Emperor Taiping was hit by hailstones all over his head, but he still pretended not to know anything about it, standing on the deck and watching quietly.
Emperor Taiping managed to maintain his image and walked to the cabin. When he entered the cabin door, he raised his right hand and waved it in a very cool and unrestrained way, indicating that he was fine at all, but he just didn't dare to look back.
Lou Wuxin and Gao Yingjie looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other. It is not easy to be a minister, and it seems that it is not easy to be an emperor, especially when the fate of such an empire is at stake, it is even more difficult.
The two people in Gaolou finally watched Emperor Taiping disappear from their sight, and they let out a long sigh.
"What should we do now?" Lou Wuxin asked.
"Our Gao family's chain of iron ropes was originally not taught to the outside world, but today's situation is special. I will teach you the method of tying the chain of my Gao family's chain of iron ropes. After you learn the method of tying, the first thing to do is The task is to find all the ends of the iron cables connected to the flagship, and then untie the ends of the cables to separate the flagship from the building in the chain of iron cables."
"You mean, the entire fleet of Lou's ships linked by iron cables may be destroyed?" Lou Wuxin was shocked.
Gao Yingjie nodded seriously, "I don't rule out this possibility. Because I think what we have to deal with may be more difficult than this storm, so we need to be fully prepared in advance."
Seeing Gao Yingjie's demeanor, Lou Wuxin knew that the situation had developed to an extremely bad level.
"What is it?"
"I don't know what it is. It's like an artifact that can transmit consciousness."
"Artifact? How could our fleet offend God?" Lou Wuxin said. Then Lou Wuxin changed his mind and guessed that if what Gao Yingjie said was true, then the real target of this artifact might not be the Gao family. fleet, but the Taiping Emperor, the last symbol of the empire.
"No matter what, we can only do this first. I hope the rope head on the flagship has not been tampered with by that weird thing." Gao Yingjie said.
"Look for the rope head first. If the rope head is there, it won't be too late for me to learn your Gao family's rope-tying method." Lou Wuxin said.
"That's fine." Gao Yingjie immediately turned around and went to the edge of the deck, looking for the rope heads along the iron ropes as thick as his arms.
Amidst the hailstorm, suddenlyA cheer came from Gao Yingjie, and he found the rope head.
"Heaven will never destroy those who have no way out!" Gao Yingjie said with great joy.
"Then let's get started!" Lou Wuxin couldn't help but become happy.
