31 The reach of Duke Tian Dong (1/2)
Zhu Wushang and Tian Xiulan quickly go out of the room and straight to the ship bridge. The scene of chaos and confusion playing inside the bridge many shouts are heard, and everyone seems to panic.
”Your Highness!” The captain salutes Tian Xiulan while ignoring Zhu Wushang whose looking at the sea map on the table.
”What's the situation? Report!” Tian Xiulan quickly asks with the commanding tone.
”Yes! Your Highness! Our main spirits engine was malfunction we're checking and try to repair it as we speak.” The captain report in the respectful tone.
”Good! Then why are you panicking right now, Is the situation is not in control?” She asks in doubt while looking around and saw all the crew face paled and many are in a panic.
”This…”
The Captain stutter with a complicated face. But Zhu Wushang cut in and said what's on the captain mind.
”The real problem is not the engine but where the ships are right now. Is this what you want to say? Captain?”
What Zhu Wushang said made captain face even more paled because every word of his was the fact that he tried to fix it right now.
”What do you mean? Husband?” Tian Xiulan asks and waling to see the sea map.
Zhu Wushang point at the place where the ships are on the map and explain.
”This area is where we are, And It's a territory of the Giant sea serpent king. Usually, This type of mistake would never happen because of the spirits ship engine speed will let the ship pass this territory before the Sea serpent king would even know we're trespassing its territory.”
”What!? Captain! why you!!” Tian Xiulan glaring at the captain in blaming.
”Lan'er You can't blame him for this, Because this route has been used every time when a spirits ship is being used as a vassal between Imperial continent and Desolate continent. Otherwise, the traveling time would take longer than this for about three times.”
Zhu Wushang explained, Tian Xiulan heard that, and her fury quickly subside. She's looking at the captain again.
”Quickly resolve this situation.”
”Yes! Your Highness!” Captain response and looking at Zhu Wushang in gratitude for helping him avoid this calamity that's about to fell upon him.
Zhu Wushang noded in acknowledge before captain quickly walked out of the bridge. He looks at the map and looking outside of the bridge window like he thinking of something.
”Say, Lan'er, I never ask you this but did you participate in a war with Duke Tian Dong in the north?” He asks while looking at the calm sea outside of the windows.
”Yes husband, Why?”
”And usually, There will be a group of a bastard from the upper realm to fight and prevent you from laying waste on Duke Tian Dong army isn't it?”
”Yes, But not only me they also fight with mother-in-law too. They can't fight mother-in-law and me individually so they fight while using their formation and we can't do anything to them at all, But they also can't do anything to us either.”
She told her husband before asking in surprise.
”Wait, How do you know that husband? did that black merchant told you when you in seclusion?”
