"How did you get on this island?"

The flagship quickly caught up with the fleet ahead, went to the bottom cabin to take a shower with tamsui, Xiang Yu, who was disguised with wet hair and big shorts, came to the deck to thank Chen Xu again, and met with Yu Wuya, Cao Shen, Han Xin and other groups of people to say hello.

"This matter is a long story. After the beginning of spring, Brother Yu and others returned from Yingzhou. Because they found their cousin, they secretly took their cousin back to see each other. However, most of the immediate relatives had been taken away by the court and didn't know where to move. They only left some branches to take care of the ancestral temple. They did not find any news about the second uncle, so I took my cousin to Wuzhong..."

Xiang Yu roughly explained the origin, and finally said with a shameless expression, "I heard from the fisherman that the Marquis had come to the island yesterday, but I dare not go to Wuzhong to find you. I was afraid that someone would be recognized and reported to the official. Today I was going to go ashore to inquire, but I happened to see the Marquis' fleet, so I planned to catch up!"

"Have you ever found out about Xiang Bo's whereabouts?" Chen Xu nodded slightly and asked.

"My second wife and I stayed on the island for more than two months. According to the person we met in Wuzhong on the island, my second wife had already left here, but our whereabouts were unknown!" Xiang Yu shook his head with a look of tranquility.

"Do you know a man named Zhou Yin and an old man named Ju Chao Gong?" Chen Xu asked again.

"When the Marquis, Zhou Yin was originally a disciple of Juchao Gong. Juchao Gong's surname was Fan Zeng. He came to join the second uncle a few years ago. Many of the things the second uncle did were guided by Fan Zeng. The Fan family respected him quite well. Why did the Marquis suddenly ask these two people?" Xiang Yu asked with confusion.

"Haha, Zhou Yin instructed fishermen to offer me two poisonous snails a few days ago on the island. I don't know what the purpose is. I guess there are talented people behind Zhou Yin, so I found out that Ju Chao Gong and confirmed it with you today. It seems that this lord is not wrong. You stayed on the island for two months and also knew a lot of fishermen on the island. Do you know where Fan Zeng is now?"

"Fan Zeng is on the island and has close contacts with a group of alchemists on weekdays."

"Is it the An Qisheng of Fang Xiandao?"

"So the Marquis already knows it."

"These bulls' noses are indeed not honest people!" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "It's a fate to meet this deserted island today. You can't go to Central Plains now. What are your plans for the future?"

"Xiang Ji's life was saved by the Marquis. Er Niang was robbed by Mo Tu and the alchemist to Yingzhou. Now he was saved is also thanks to the Marquis. When my Xiang family was defeated, many tribesmen were killed. Although Ji did not participate, he is now a criminal. The Marquis has always been sheltering me, and Ji cannot cause trouble for the Marquis. In the future, he and Er Niang will live in this island to fish for a living. I just hope that one day I can find my second uncle and kill Zhonglimei with his hand to fulfill his original promise to the Marquis!"

"I'm afraid you can't stay here on this island anymore. Soon, some imperial officials went to the island to subdue the islanders. The thieves who lived here would be expelled and arrested. Today, since you meet us, please go to Taiwan with us first. Brother Yu and Miss Xia will stay there for more than a year. If you and Miss Xiang Jing have nowhere to go, it would be good to live in Taiwan for a long time..."

"Husband!"

Just as Chen Xu was talking to Xiang Yu, Shui Qingrou and Xia Zijin came with a slim young woman.

I haven't seen her for a few years and her appearance is still vague, but I can see that she has suffered different pains over the years. Her beautiful cheeks are no longer as white as before, and she can't see a bright smile on her face. Her skin is slightly dark, her cheeks are thin, and even her clean hair is slightly dry. Her big eyes that used to be able to speak now also look full of indescribable sadness.

From the daughter of a noble family whose reputation has been resounding throughout China, she suddenly becomes a fugitive who bears the crimes of traitors and the carefree girl who was once a carefree girl who was dressed in luxury and became a homeless woman now.

In addition, he was captured by a group of Motuo and alchemists to Yingzhou. The period of wandering was unbearable to look back on, and the suffering and fright he suffered were indescribable.

Chen Xu sighed slightly.

"Xiang Jing pays homage to Marquis Qinghe, thank you for letting my brother go!"

Xiang Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Xu. The moment she raised her head, there was a familiar light in her eyes on her thin cheeks, but it quickly dimmed.

"Please get up quickly. If you hadn't gone to Langya to report the news, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that my wife had been taken away by Huangshi Gong!" Chen Xu helped Xiang Jing up with both hands. The moment the two of them touched their arms, Xiang Jing's body trembled slightly, and she took a few steps back like a frightened deer, lowering her head and dared not look at Chen Xu again.

"I have already understood the matter on the deserted island. If I say thank you again, I will not make up for the suffering that Miss Xiang Jing has suffered. Since you meet today, you and your brother and sister don't have to worry. The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the Central Plains cannot be stayed. Overseas, North Korea, Yingzhou, Taiwan and the South China Sea can accommodate you everywhere. You can rest on the boat first. In a few days, you will make arrangements and plans. I can help you arrange wherever you want to go in the future."

"Thank you, Marquis!" Xiang Yu and Xiang Jing bowed at the same time.

"Brother Xiaoxu, I heard that a fishing boat had capsized. Where was the person who rescued it?" Just as the group of people were talking, Yu Ji, who had a slightly pale complexion, walked out slowly with her forehead covered her forehead from the cabin.

"If you are seasick, don't come out. The wind is strong here. The two acquaintances are rescued. This is Xiang Ji, known as Xiao Ba Wang, and this is Xiang Jing..."

Yu Ji saw Xiang Yu, who was as powerful as an iron tower, with his head and muscles spread out, like a tiger. He was frightened and his face turned pale. He took two steps back and hid behind Chen Xu and said secretly: "Brother Xiaoxu, what did this little bully eat to grow up?"

A group of people burst into laughter, and even Xiang Jing, who was sad, couldn't help but cover her mouth and showed a rare smile. Xiang Yu looked at the beautiful girl who suddenly appeared, and he was as if he was struck by lightning in an instant, looking at Yu Ji in a daze.

"Brother~" Xiang Jing looked at her brother losing his composure and quickly pulled Xiang Yu's arm with her hand.

"Oh, Xiang Ji pays homage to the little lady!" Xiang Yu came to his senses and hurriedly hugged his fists, but his eyes still fell on Yu Ji and could not move them away.

"Yu Ji is the adopted daughter of Brother Yu, but she has grown up with me in Xianyang since she was a child. You will get familiar with each other in a few days. The deck is strong, so Yu Ji takes Miss Xiang Jing to the cabin to rest and shelter the wind. When we dock in the evening, we find a place to rest and cook some delicious food to welcome the two of you. If you survive the disaster, you will have good luck. You will settle down on the boat for the time being." Chen Xu said with a smile.

...

In the autumn of the 36th year of Emperor First Emperor, on August 27, the weather was clear.

The vast blue sea and blue sky, the endless calm sea surface.

Four hundred miles away from Dongye County, Central Fujian, ten huge sailboats of the world successfully crossed the turbulent Taiwan Strait with compass guidance far beyond contemporary technology and large-caliber telescopes.

"Marty, I saw the island!"

The observer on the roof of the cabin finally saw an island looming on the undulating sea through a huge telescope with a diameter of two feet. Although it was more than 30 miles away, it can basically be concluded that it was the Taiwan island that Qinghehou was looking for.

"Haha, everything goes well!" Chen Xuyu Wuya, Han Xin and Cao Shen, who were making golden flowers on the deck, happily left the poker and stood up. A group of onlookers excitedly celebrating, and all the sailors and boatmen also cheered and cheered.

"Go up and take a look, pass the news down, and start searching for a suitable place to dock!"

Chen Xu smiled and headed towards the cabin. The cheers alarmed the four women of Shui Qingrou, Xia Zijin, Yu Ji and Xiang Jing, who were resting in the cabin. Therefore, they all came out together to ask for details.

Soon with a few melodious and low horn sounds, a red Venus flag rose along the main sail. This order told other ships that they had found their target and were ready to dock.

"Yew~~" The other ships soon raised flags and cheered the boatmen and crew and the boys.

"My benefactor, this island is indeed very large, and the coast is very flat, it looks like a good place..." Yu Wuya leaned over the huge telescope and said, "A few glances at it."

"Navigator, where are we at this time?" Chen Xu also approached the telescope and looked at the navigator for a few seconds.

Professional things naturally need to be done by professionals. Chen Xu told Cao Shen and others about the navigation experience he had heard, such as how to locate the direction with a compass, how to observe with a telescope, and how to roughly confirm the distance of the navigation based on the ruler to record the shapes of the route and the islands and land along the way, etc. With these experiences from later generations, combined with the experience of coastal fishermen in this era, we can basically roughly confirm the direction, distance and location of the navigation.

The navigator came over with a drawing full of squares, with many nodes marked on it. According to the requirements of navigation, every two minutes, a point must be positioned on the drawing according to the approximate speed and direction of the grid paper, so as to judge the distance and direction of the entire navigation by comparison. If there is a navigation chart, you can accurately grasp whether the navigation route is correct. If there is no navigation chart, you can also record the route for future reference.

The navigation map is currently blank, with only dense grids and recording points passing by.

"Mr. Marquis, according to the navigation records, we are currently 20 degrees and 470 miles southeast of Dongye County. Judging from the route and distance, this big island must be the Taiwan island the Marquis is looking for!" The navigator said in comparison with the navigation records.

"It seems that this time went very smoothly. After returning, all the boatmen and crew will be rewarded!" Chen Xu was very happy. As the news spread, the entire ship became even more jubilant.

"I'm finally going to dock, and you don't have to suffer with us!" Shui Qingrou said comfortingly, holding Yu Ji's hand.

"Aunt, Yu Ji doesn't want to stay in Taiwan. I don't want to leave you. You all leave. I will be lonely and sad alone!" Yu Ji's eyes were red and hugged Shui Qingrou's arms.

"Auntie knows, but Brother Xiaoxu speculates that something big might happen in Xianyang next year. He needs to focus on dealing with this matter. He is afraid something will happen if you stay in Xianyang. Also, you have grown up and are at the age of getting married. If you stay in Xianyang, maybe Your Highness Ziying will arrange for the Ministry of Etiquette to come to propose marriage. You may have heard of this matter, but you don't like Your Highness Ziying. This matter will also make it difficult for Brother Xiaoxu to handle it. Brother Xiaoxu cares about you very much and doesn't want to make you embarrassed, so you live with your father on the island for the time being. After a year, Brother Xiaoxu will handle the matter well and then take you back to Xianyang!" Su Qingrou gently stroked Yu Ji's hair to comfort her.

"Aunt, don't lie to me!" Yu Ji nodded vigorously.

"No, in addition to Daddy and Aunt Zijin, there are also Miss Xiang and Xiaobawang on the island. They will definitely not be alone. When I think of us, I will write a letter. Manager Shang Qi will take the letter back to Wuzhong and let the messenger send it to Xianyang. It is very convenient. If you want to eat or lack anything, you can tell your dad to ask him to help you do it. Besides, Brother Xiaoxu said that there should be many Yiyue people on this island who came from Fujian and Yue before. Then, let your dad find some maids to serve you..."
