After a night of heavy drinking, Xiao Ming still had a headache when he woke up the next morning.
It was the first day of the New Year. Traditionally, people would go out to visit friends and family. If he were in Chang’an, Xiao Ming would be making visits too.
But in the Great Yu Empire, unless it was something urgent, a prince like Xiao Ming was not allowed to leave his fief. Especially since he was in charge of guarding the border, he had even more reason to stay in his prefecture.
Now that New Year’s Eve was over, the first thing on his mind was sending the galleons out to sea.
After setting up the plan to spread the stage play quietly among the people, he headed to Bowen Academy. Others could rest for the New Year, but not Yue Yun—he was the leader of the three galleons and needed one last important lesson.
“Your Highness, is this the final lesson before we go out to sea?” Yue Yun was already waiting in the classroom early in the morning.
Xiao Ming nodded. He had delayed their departure for two reasons. First, the cannons still hadn’t been loaded onto the ships. Second, Yue Yun and the others still hadn’t learned the most important thing in sailing—how to know where they were in the middle of the sea.
There were only three students in the room: Yue Yun and two other sailors who had done well in class. Xiao Ming had chosen them to be the navigators of the fleet.
He sat down and said, “One lesson won’t be enough for this. The things you are about to learn are complex. You must stay focused, or you could get lost at sea and never return.”
