Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 166 Three Treasures
The sky is clear and the sun is blazing.

After climbing a wooden ladder that was more than ten feet high, the three officials and their entourage arrived on the majestic treasure ship.

The Zhaoming, which is made of 3,000 pieces of wood, has a slender hull and a wide deck, like a large mobile football field. The stern is solemn, the fore bridge is transparent, the majestic tiger head relief is hung on the bow, and the dragon and phoenix paintings all over the hull are very magical.

Blue and white sails of similar shapes are scattered around, and red boats are lined up on the sea, like a field of red fire.

Under the roc that spread its wings as if ready to fly, Qin Huai stood in front of a square desk, calmly accepting the gazes of several generals.

There were no ripples in Qin Huai's eyes until the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man spoke, and then he reacted after a quick glance.

Name: Zheng Bao

Official Position: Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, Chief Envoy of the Treasure Fleet
state:? ? ?

Expertise: Ancient Chinese Navigation 99% (rare), ???
Skill:? ? ?

Threat Level: Black (Friendly)

Note: Even though there are many talented people in this era, he is still one of the brightest among the dazzling stars.

"Are you the chief officer of this trip?"

Zheng Bao sat behind the desk, wearing a dragon robe cloak embroidered with sea water and river cliffs, playing with the centurion waist badge that Qin Huai had just handed to him.

His fingers were long, slender, shiny and strong, and he looked humble and unassuming.

Qin Huai cupped his hands and said, "Master Sanbao, please understand that I am indeed the chief treasure protector sent by the Three Departments."

Zheng Bao smiled and stood up and put the badge back into Qin Huai's hand.

"Well done."

As the chief eunuch who led the treasure fleet to the Western Ocean several times, Zheng Bao had sharp senses, far beyond ordinary people. Just now, he had only controlled the Sky Python to wipe out the scoundrels for a short while, and he had already seen the situation in the field, and he had a firm understanding of the contributions of Qin Huai and his party.

Apart from anything else, just the achievement of killing that ancient alien creature that was dozens of feet long was enough to promote Qin Huai to the rank of a thousand households.

After saying that, he didn't mind Qin Huai's dirty body and took his hand and walked towards the black coffin.

"What did Minister Huang and the Duke of England tell you? Tell me in detail."

Qin Huai took small steps forward, followed Zheng Bao down the escalator, and spoke respectfully: "Lord Shangshu only told us to be cautious. If we encounter someone wrong, we would rather kill him than let him go. The Duke sent a team of 100 brave guards, but he didn't give any other instructions."

Zheng Bao stopped and turned to look at Qin Huai with an expression that was somewhat difficult to understand.

"Is it difficult for you to get the Duke of England to bring back his precious elite troops?"

"Under the turmoil of the earth's energy, the disaster caused by demons and ghosts is far worse than usual. These brothers under my command have indeed experienced several near-death experiences before they can stand before you, my Lord."

Qin Huai did not deliberately downplay the thorns in the road ahead. Whether it was the hungry ghosts, the evil Buddhas, or the fish spirits who yearned for the mortal world, they were all difficulties that the three divisions had to overcome together.

Qin Huai is not a flatterer who seeks credit and reward, but there are some things that his superiors should be made aware of.

"Your blood will not be shed in vain, and the court will not give less than what it deserves."

"Thank you for your mercy, sir."

Zheng Bao waved his hand, signaling Qin Huai not to take it to heart. Then he walked forward and asked Qin Huai about the details of military affairs.

"The rare treasure has been found. Do the three departments have any follow-up arrangements?"

Qin Huai looked at the ancient and rustic black coffin and nodded.

"The Lord Commander has asked us to escort the treasure as soon as it is born and send it to Prince Mu's Palace before September."

"The Duke of Qian is a loyal and respectful person. It is a good idea for him to arrange for someone to escort the rare treasure back to the capital."

Zheng Bao first affirmed the arrangement of the three divisions, and then changed the subject and turned the conversation to Qin Huai.

"But I see that all your men are injured and have suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to complete your military duties as scheduled!"

Qin Huai listened to Zheng Bao's words, and knew that the road ahead was dangerous and unpredictable.
"The three officials have given the order, and I will do my best. But there are unexpected events, and things might change. Our death is a small matter, but the loss of the treasure is a big matter. Please understand!"

Qin Huai half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a very sincere tone.

Zheng Bao shook his head and stood with his hands behind his back in front of the black coffin, staring at the ink patterns on it in a daze.

After a long while, the eunuch Sanbao, who was so powerful that he attracted the attention of all nations, slowly said, "Before I left, the Emperor and the Crown Prince gave me the power to arrange the matter of Jiaozhi's rare treasures on my own.

Minister Huang is a steady person. There is nothing wrong with ordering you to go to Prince Mu's Palace. It's just that the journey is long and the night is long, and there are many dreams. If something goes wrong, it will be bad.

How about this, next you don't go to Prince Mu's Palace which is thousands of miles away, but go to Nanningwei instead. Not only will the distance be shortened by half, but the official road will also be easier to travel, which can greatly shorten the time.

Tonight I will inform the Duke of Qian and order him to select elite troops to go to Nanning Guard to hand over to you.

As for the three divisions, I will also inform them of this matter, so you don’t have to worry.”

Qin Huai compared the options in his mind and found that this was indeed a good deal. He immediately stood up and accepted the order: "If the three divisions are informed, I am willing to follow your arrangements!"

"Today's military situation is dangerous, and the road ahead is unpredictable. Take my order and go to the back of the cabin to get some supplies and make your own arrangements."

"Here!"
-
There is a stern wheelhouse and a three-story shrine.

The Qinhuai crowd followed Yu Lie through the official hall, and after worshipping Mazu, they came to a secret vault.

"There are many treasures in the treasury, and the limit is six. You can choose your own."

The Yin-Yang officer guarding in front of the storehouse put away the warrant, reminded everyone from the three divisions with a smiling face, and then activated the divine pattern to open the secret storehouse of the treasure ship.

After everyone entered the warehouse, Qin Huai also made arrangements: "One for each of you, is that ok?"

Zhang Teng and Hong Yi led the brave soldier Shui Yi to the military treasury and were not present at the moment. Therefore, in the treasury at the moment, including Qin Huai, the remaining three officials had exactly one item each.

Seeing that no one had any objection, Qin Huai nodded and let everyone go: "Go."

Most of the items in the warehouse are treasures collected by the fleet from all over the oceans and donated by many foreign countries. The variety of items is so numerous that it is dazzling.

The antique display shelf is filled with precious prepared seafood.

Qin Huai took a quick glance and his eyes stopped on a jar of bright red animal blood.

[Dragon Blood]

Category: Foreign matter

Quality: Rare

Eating it can strengthen the body and increase the blood and qi of soldiers. If the inheritance of Yanfu is dragon seed, the corresponding secret treasure can be strengthened. However, there are aptitude requirements for dragon seed inheritance. The higher the aptitude, the higher the gain. This item can only be taken once.

It’s a pity that Tianwu has nothing to do with the dragon species.

Qin Huai shook his head and turned to look at the other things.

【Deep Sea Silver】

Category: Foreign matter

Weight: 4.7 jin

Quality: Rare

It has a very high density and tough texture, making it an excellent forging material and can be used to make close-fitting protective gear such as breastplates.

【Fire Carp】

Category: Ingredients

Quality: Legend

If a Yamabu walker with relevant inheritance uses this ingredient to make dishes, he will 100% comprehend a new ability.

Using higher quality ingredients to prepare dishes will increase the relevant specializations of the Yamabu Walking by an indefinite amount.

Note: You can get clues about [Eight Treasures of Zhou Li: Carp Tail] from it. Inside the colorful glass cover, there is a red jade carp that is transparent and mellow in color. On the embroidered fish tail that blooms like a flame, there are dense golden lines, which is extraordinary at first glance.

Legendary ingredients! How delicious must this be?
Qin Huai thought about it, kept the fish in mind, and turned to look elsewhere.

Coming to the weapons rack, the dazzling array of eighteen kinds of weapons flashed with chilling cold light.

Looking closely, the first thing that comes into view is a splitting axe weighing over 100 kilograms.

【Xuanhua Axe】

Quality: Rare

Sharpness: 80
Weight: 110 jin 4 liang
Features: [Mountain Opening] (Increases power and prestige)

This is a Xuanhua axe with a mouth as big as a sword and a blade as sharp as snow. The back of the axe is covered with dense animal patterns, which is very beautiful.

Too heavy and bulky to be very useful.

Qin Huai frowned, and then looked at the other weapons, which were almost all useless. As for the legendary weapons, there was not a single one.

When he reached the end, Qin Huai found a strange weapon that was only as long as his calf. It looked like a craftsman's work of entertainment.

[Three-pointed two-edged knife]

Remnants of Yama

This event cannot be taken out
This token is made based on the prototype of the magic sword that Erlang held in his hand when he searched the mountains and subdued monsters. After collecting five tokens, you can start a very difficult large-scale Yamafu event.

Note: With the divine sword in the hands of the True Lord, one can not only dance with phoenixes and soar into the sky like dragons, but also search mountains and conquer demons.

Qin Huai bent down and lifted the heavy silver sword into his palm.

As he stroked the mottled lines on the two-foot-long blade, he had already made up his mind.

If he takes this item, together with the white dog and the talisman, he will have collected most of the five tokens, and a large-scale Yamafu event is just around the corner.

"That's it"

After Qin Huai handed the [Three-pointed, Double-edged Sword] to the Yin-Yang officer for inspection, he waited at the door for the others to come out.

Long Suinu picked out a piece of high-quality ambergris, while the railway man chose a sword whetstone. Everyone's choices were varied and different.

The last person to come out was Guan Wei, a Wudang disciple. He held the jar of dragon blood and winked at Qin Huai.

"It's getting late. Since everyone has gained something, it's better to rest early."

"Priest, please stay. We are leaving now."

Qin Huai told everyone to leave the Yin-Yang officials serving in the temple and returned to the deck.

At the treasure ship parade ground, hundreds of brave guards were working in groups of two, applying ointment taken from the military arsenal to each other.

"Master Baihu."

After taking the special pills and Terminalia chebula medicine, Zhang Teng's condition has improved a lot.

"Time is running out, maybe the brothers can recover?"

Qin Huai walked to the front of the team, his tone somewhat sad.

"Don't worry, Captain. The Guards will not delay military affairs!"

"Take it easy. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Listening to Zhang Teng's assurance, Qin Huai patted the warrior's broad shoulders and went up to the stern deck alone.

The cabin on the top of the stern is the captain's room where San Baoye dispatches the fleet and communicates with all parties.

In the cabin, Zheng Bao was pacing in front of a huge compass on dozens of floors. Seeing Qin Huai coming in, he nodded and told the five officials around him to start the ritual.

Name: Ning Caixing
Official Position: Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Five-organ Calendar
Status: Weather and Earthworm

Expertise: Stargazing 82% (rare), ???
Skill: Crane
Zhen Shuiyin lives at the tail of the Vermillion Bird and can be used to grasp direction.

Zhen Shuiyin is on the treasure ship and can use special rituals to contact people thousands of miles away.

Note: The Five Organs are in charge of the calendar, which is the ninth rank. It assists the Five Organs in deriving the calendar and determining the four seasons.

Threat level: Blue
In Qin Huai's eyes, Zheng Bao tapped the edge of the compass, a ray of pure golden light flowed into it, and the huge pointer began to rotate.

The atmosphere of the Kingdom of Heaven: formed by the power of hundreds of millions of people, it is the greatest treasure of God Bingshen Thirty-Three!
Qin Huai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and some strange thoughts arose in his mind.

A huge earthworm with green skin and green scales, with no head or tail, suddenly appeared on the body of Li Ning Caixing, a member of the Wuguansi crew who was sailing with the ship.

"Explore the mountains and the sea, and don't get lost!"

As soon as Ning Caixing finished speaking, the blue light around Zhen Shuiyin intertwined with the golden light on the compass and shot towards the northwest through the hull.

After a long time, a blurry figure with vague facial features appeared on the compass.

"Meet the Duke of Qian."

Zheng Bao bowed slightly and saluted.

"Does Eunuch Sanbao have anything important to do?"

The Duke of Qian also returned the salute, without smiling.

Zheng Bao took out a waist plaque with the words "Heavenly Book" engraved on it and showed it to the Duke of Qian. He then said solemnly, "The Emperor has granted me the power to escort the rare treasure. I now order the Duke of Qian to immediately send elite troops to Nanning Guard to hand over the rare treasure to the Jiaozhi Three Divisions. The rare treasure must be delivered to the capital before the end of the year!"

Duke Qian nodded, glanced at Qin Huai and agreed: "I'll arrange it right away."

The figure disappeared, and the compass needle swung, with the blue-gold light pointing to the southwest.

"There is a constellation in the sky, showing the way and guiding us!"

After a while, Huang Fudi's blurry face appeared on the compass.

After taking a quick glance around the cabin and seeing Qin Huai, Huang Fu knew that the rare treasure was safely in his hands, so he asked with a smile, "Has Envoy Sanbao reached Yu Shui?"

"Master Huang, as you can see, Sanbao has indeed led the treasure fleet to Yushui and has taken the rare treasures. This time, I summoned the three officials to discuss the follow-up with you, Master."

After Zheng Bao explained the whole story and some of his concerns to Huang Fu, he nodded at Qin Huai and said slowly, "Nanningwei is an important border town, not far from Yushui, and is much more suitable for the subsequent escort than the Mu Palace, which is thousands of miles away. I have already informed the Duke of Qian that as long as Lord Huang gives the order, they can go to Nanning instead and suffer less."

Huang Fu stroked his long beard and nodded, "Okay, you can arrange it. I don't know when Sanbao will come to Longyuan, so I can inform Duke Ying to return to the yamen."

Zheng Bao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe five days later. It will take some time to get in from Honghe."

Qin Huai couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Zheng Bao and the other two finalized all the matters in just a few words.

The blurry figure turned into a spot of light and disappeared, and the golden light and blue light returned to Zheng and Ning respectively.

Zheng Bao turned and looked at Qin Huai, with the imperial decree in his mouth and a golden medal in his hand, an order was passed down.

"I now order Ye Bu Shou Bai Hu Qin Huai to lead his troops to set off tomorrow and deliver the rare treasure to Nanning Wei within half a month!"

"The general will obey your orders!"

A subtle golden light shot out from the golden medal of the Heavenly Book and merged into Qin Huai's body.

"You have gained a glimpse of heaven!"

[You triggered an additional Yama event: Black Coffin Lost]

[Content: Safely deliver the black coffin treasure to Nanning Guard]

[Evaluation criteria: Depends on the delivery time and the number of demons killed on the way. ]
