769 Get on the Ship Before Going into the Sea
Zhou Heng said with his usual expression, “It’s fine.”
“We only traveled for one night?”
Zhou Heng asked. When they were in the fog, they could not see anything clearly. They did not know how far they had traveled. Moreover, the thing they used to record time was broken. They did not know when it broke.
“Eight hours have passed.”!!
Su Hua answered truthfully. Before they knew it, they did not know how much time had passed.
It might be a long time, or it might not be long.
The concept of time was vague.
“Forget it, let’s meet them. If they’re sincere in forming an alliance, then everyone will get along with rapprochement. If not—”
Zhou Heng smiled faintly. What he did not finish was filled with killing intent.
Su Hua nodded and accompanied Zhou Heng out.
The sun was high up outside.
Zhou Heng looked up at the sky and thought to himself that it was really a good day.
Zhou Heng came to the deck and looked at the sea. There seemed to be big Kun as far as the eye could see.
They were huge and emerged from the water one after another, surrounding all the ships.
Zhou Heng saw that figure again and saw that it was a girl. Zhou Heng locked his gaze on her and said loudly, “I’m the Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty of the human race. I’m here to sign a friendly alliance with the fish people. Who’s the king of the fish people?”
An Xiaoou translated for the fish people.
The old king transformed into a human form. He was an old man with white hair and beard. He stood on the surface of the sea and looked at Zhou Heng calmly. Then, he slowly said, “I’m the king of the fish people. Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty, please come to my fish people’s territory. We’ll talk in detail.”
Su Hua frowned slightly and said, “We’ve already arrived at the fish people’s sea area. Why don’t you come onto our ship and have a cup of tea? Then, we’ll go into the sea with you to the fish people?”
Zhou Heng revealed a gentle smile and said, “Your Majesty, please.”
If the old king was cautious, and so were they.
They had already come to the sea area and followed them here. It was time for the fish people to show some sincerity.
After An Xiaoou translated the words, the sound waves of the fish race rose and fell.
Listening to the big Kun’s voice, Zhou Heng and the others didn’t understand, but their expressions didn’t change as they waited for the fish people’s final answer.
The fish people were already arguing.
An Xiaoou had a headache. Because she understood, she thought of the market every time this happened.
An Xiaoou patted Hai Ming gently and said to him in a low voice, “Hai Ming, don’t you find it strange?”
Hai Ming was puzzled. “What?”
Looking around, there was nothing strange. The humans did not do anything either.
An Xiaoou was a little helpless. “Hai Ming, look at the human race. Apart from the Crown Prince, everyone else is silent. Do you know why?”
Hai Ming took a look and realized that it was true. He was puzzled. “Why?”
An Xiaoou thought for a moment and explained, “This is unity. Outside, all the soldiers only listen to their superiors’ orders. Even if there’s really a dispute, they won’t argue on such an occasion.”
The fish people were free and unrestrained. This was very good, but when they had to fight the enemy together, it would be too distracting.
Hai Ming was surprised. He turned around and immediately felt a little strange. The fish people’s words were very controversial. They were divided into two factions and did not give in to each other.
However, the man in black armor standing on the deck maintained a faint smile.
The soldiers standing on the ship in armor were all very calm.
Fortunately, they couldn’t communicate at this time.
Hai Ming let out a rapid sound wave.
The fish people quickly quietened down. Hai Ming told them what An Xiaoou had said.
All the fish people began to reflect on themselves.
The old Sea King said, “Alright, there are indeed many things that we need to learn from the human race. Don’t argue anymore. We’re just going to the ship for a cup of tea.”
“Father, I’ll go with you.”
Yu Yan said.
Hai Ming also said, “Me and Xiaoou too.”
The old king nodded. “Alright, come with me.”
Hai Ming also transformed into his human form. He hugged An Xiaoou’s waist and flew onto the boat with the old king.
Yu Yan also looked like a young man as he gently landed on the boat.
Everyone was examining each other.
Zhou Heng cupped his hands and smiled slightly. Then, he reached out and made an inviting gesture.
The old king nodded and replied gently, “Thank you.”
The cabin was very different. The old Sea King sized it up carefully and sometimes even reached out to touch it.
The fish people’s palace was mostly built with all kinds of fish bones and shells.
After sitting down, an attendant came to serve tea.
Zhou Heng picked up a glass and took a few sips.
They followed his example. After taking a sip, their expressions were strange as they forced themselves to swallow it.
Hai Ming and Yu Yan couldn’t take it anymore. They turned their heads and vomited.
An Xiaoou took a small sip. There was an indescribable strange taste in her taste buds. After she forced it down, she had mixed feelings. In the past, she also liked to make tea. It was delicious to mix tea with some goat milk.
But now, these things would not be good for her.
“It’s fine. Our race is different, so it’s normal for you not to be used to it. I prepared sea fish. You should like it.”
Zhou Heng waved his hand and removed the tea.
Soon, plates of sashimi were served. They were as thin as cicada wings, and some were even surrounded by ice.
What was in front of Zhou Heng was cooked.
As he ate the sashimi, the old king heaved a sigh of relief. There was not much, but it tasted good, especially if it was iced.
It tasted different from the ones in the sea.
“I’m already preparing to build the palace where the fish people will live in the capital. I’ll show you the drawing of the palace and see if there’s anything else that needs to be changed.”
After eating briefly, Zhou Heng got someone to bring over a map of the palace.
The old king took it and looked at it.
Hai Ming and Yu Yan also looked carefully.
Humans had exquisite paintings and beautiful scenery. The largest was the lake.
The fish people needed water. After taking a look, the old king nodded. “You’re very good. I can’t see anything that needs to be changed for the time being.”
Zhou Heng smiled and said, “As for food, we’ll provide you with it when the time comes. We humans also have many delicacies. If you’re willing to try them, you can also eat them. I’m looking forward to the fish people going to the capital of our Great Zhou. I’m also looking forward to going to the fish people’s palace to take a look.”
“Thank you.”
Zhou Heng slowly stood up.
An Xiaoou hurriedly said to the old king, “My king, the Crown Prince wants you to bring him to the palace of the fish people.”
The old king heaved a sigh of relief. He imitated Zhou Heng’s polite gesture and extended his hand to make an inviting gesture.
The group walked to the deck. The old king reached out his hand and said to Zhou Heng, “Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, please hold my hand and let your people hold on too. Don’t let go after entering the sea.”
Zhou Heng smiled and reached out to Su Hua. “Ah Hua, we’ve never held hands in all these years. This trip to Qinghai was not in vain.”
The corners of Su Hua’s mouth twitched.
After knowing each other for so many years, they had really never held hands. But this was what the fish king had requested.
