Chapter 361: Exploring the Sea (Part )

Yuan Shouhe took a closer look and saw that Xie Changan was extraordinarily handsome and Jiang Li was peerless in beauty. He was secretly amazed. No wonder it was said that these two were banished immortals. They were indeed extraordinary!

When the soldiers saw the extremely handsome Prince Jing'an, their faces turned red and there was a moment of silence on the boat.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Admiral Yuan, please don't be polite."

The eagle couple sent Jiang Li and the other person to the boat, then spread their wings and flew into the sky to find a habitat.

Jiang Li said to Jiaolong through the contract: "Brother Jiao, please find a place nearby to rest for a while, and don't go too far."

"okay!"

At this time, another group of seabirds fluttered over and landed on the side of the ship, forming a neat row.

The leader was the skua.

"Xiaoou, you're here!" Jiang Li waved at it.

The skua flew over happily and perched on her shoulder.

"Master, these are my family. Do you want more birds? Can you raise a few more?"

The skuas were "recruited" and became "officers and soldiers" with salaries. The other skuas were extremely envious and wanted to ask the fairy if she still wanted the bird.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I want anyone who can work hard for me!"

"Little fairy, there is nothing in this sea area that I don't know. I will definitely do my best for you!"

"Yes, yes, just tell us what you want us to do!"

Jiang Li was so happy that his heart was filled with joy. This was exactly the kind of younger brother she wanted!

"Okay, line up first. I'll treat you to some fish later. Eat your fill before you start working!"

A group of skuas quacked happily and stood in a row obediently, waiting for their meal.

The pair of petrels that Xie Changan had contracted also came, timidly landed on Xie Changan's shoulders, and reported to him what they had discovered.

Yuan Shouhe had always heard that the Prince of Jing'an had the ability to taming beasts. Now he saw with his own eyes that they were communicating with a flock of birds, and that these seabirds were obediently obeying his commands. It was truly an eye-opener.

"My Lord, do these seabirds obey you?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Yes. General Yuan, could you please have someone send over a hundred pounds of live fish?"

“But feeding these seabirds?”

"Yes, let them eat their fill and go get some information for us."

Yuan Shouhe then ordered the soldiers to go to the kitchen and bring out a basket of live fish.

When the group of skuas saw the food, they cheered and rushed over to snatch it.

"Wait!"

Jiang Li hurriedly tried to stop them. She wanted to train these skuas well and make them obey orders.

"Xiaoou, you are responsible for distributing the fish. Each bird will get two pieces. No scrambling is allowed! Those who disobey will be kicked out of the team!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiaoou said proudly: "Line up, come one by one!"

A group of skuas lined up obediently, and came forward one after another to receive the fish.

Yuan Shouhe and his soldiers were all stunned when they saw this strange sight. They never thought that in their lifetime, they would actually see skuas queuing up to "get food". It was really a rare sight!

Xie Changan also took two live fish to feed his petrel.

While the birds were eating, Yuan Shouhe invited Jiang Li and Xie Changan into the cabin to talk.

"Okay, General Yuan, can you tell us about what happened that day?"

After entering the cabin, Yuan Shouhe invited the two to take a seat and ordered his personal guards to serve tea.

"Your Majesty, Duke, you have come all the way here for the missing fleet?"

"Yes, we are here by order."

Jiang Li took out a secret decree, "General Yuan, please accept it."

Yuan Shouhe quickly knelt down, took the imperial edict respectfully, and unfolded it to take a look.

It stated that the Fujian Navy was to obey the orders of Prince Jing'an, cooperate with Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo to search for the missing fleet, and keep all actions of these two persons confidential and not disclose their whereabouts.

"I will obey your order!"

Xie Changan said: "General Yuan, please tell me the whole story in detail."

"Yes!"

Yuan Shouhe started with the escort of the fleet to Luzon: "In May, I received a secret order from the emperor, so I sent a fleet to escort the team going to the South Sea to the waters off Luzon."

"After the fleet successfully entered Luzon under the pretext of trading, the navy fleet returned."

"On December 15, I received a message from General Yin that he was on his way back, so I sent a fleet to pick him up.

"When we were almost at Fuzhou, General Yin told us to go north along the East China Sea. I thought this was already an inland sea and should be safe, so I ordered the fleet to return."

Yuan Shouhe said this with great regret: "I should have continued to let the fleet escort General Yin's fleet northward, maybe this would not have happened! I failed in my duty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Li said: "Storms at sea cannot be stopped by human power, General Yuan does not need to blame himself."

The coast of the East China Sea is already within the territory of Da Chu. There are many merchant ships coming and going, so it is a very safe route and does not require naval escort.

Who would have thought that they would encounter such a big storm that would blow the fleet off course and end up in the Ryukyu area?

Xie Changan asked: "Since he disappeared near Ryukyu, have you informed the King of Ryukyu to help search for him?"

Yuan Shouhe asked someone to bring a nautical chart and spread it out on the table.

"Your Majesty, please read this. After receiving the news, I immediately dispatched a fleet to the Ryukyu Islands. On the one hand, I wanted to look for General Yin's fleet, and on the other hand, I wanted to notify the King of Ryukyu and ask him to help with the search."

"Who would have known that this fleet had also lost contact at this location!"

He pointed to a trench and frowned deeply.

"Is this the Ryukyu Trench?" Jiang Li asked.

"Yes. After that, I sent out two patrol boats to investigate the situation. The news came back the day before yesterday that the Ryukyu Trench was filled with fog and would not dissipate for several days."

Yuan Shouhe was worried, "I wonder if the fleet and the fleet are all stuck here?"

Jiang Li said: "Yes, those seabirds also told us that the foggy area is so huge that even they dare not enter it."

Yuan Shouhe became even more worried when he heard that even seabirds couldn't get in.

"Brother Chang'an, is there any new news about Hurricane and North Wind?"

Jiang Li looked at Xie Changan and asked through the heart contract.

Xie Changan said: "They approached the foggy area and found that the magnetic field was strange. They almost got lost in it and couldn't come back."

"The magnetic field is strange?" Jiang Li was surprised. "Is it like the Mihun Pond?"

Xie Changan nodded: "Listening to their description, it seems to be similar, the kind that will make birds lose their way."

"The magnetic field in Mihun Pond is unusual because there is a huge iron mine underground. This is definitely not an iron mine..." Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

The iron ore did not appear suddenly. If there was a huge iron mine here like the one in Mihun Pond, the seabirds would naturally have known that the magnetic field here was unusual.

"Could it be a formation?" Xie Changan's face changed.

If it is really a formation, who would be so generous as to set up such a huge formation on the seabed? What is the purpose?

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "What exactly is the reason? We can only go and see it in person."

It seems that they must accompany the dragon and dive into the sea to explore.

If someone deliberately set up an array here, even a dragon might be trapped in it!
