On the big river, the river is as open as the sea. There are only the helmsman and a few sailing veterans on the big ship behind. The two ships are connected by iron ropes from bow to stern.

After the two boats left the ferry in the river, they stopped after traveling for an hour.

On the big ship ahead, the black-armored guards had killed the sheep, and Hongrui and Lvqiao were roasting them.

The mutton was plump and the aroma was alluring, but on this trip to Prince Yan's Mansion, there were more than a dozen black-armored guards, and together with Hu Sinong and others, there were forty or fifty people on board.

There were only two sheep, one and a half were given to Prince Yan's house, and the remaining half was given to Hu Sinong and others, so each of them only got a mouthful of meat.

Hu Sinong's face was full of sorrow. He really couldn't eat this mouthful of meat.

Although he wanted to lie down and enjoy his achievements, he was more afraid of screwing up the errand. He would be stabbed when he moved or retracted his head. He bit it and boldly went to find Xiao Chenyan.

Qing Wu and Xiao Chenyan were on the deck. The former even had a soft couch brought in, lying down lazily, looking like he was enjoying himself.

And the vicious and cold-blooded His Royal Highness Prince Yan was sitting next to him. With one hand he was twisting the beads, and with the other... he was clicking and crushing a walnut. He quickly gathered enough for a plate and asked someone to bring it to his princess.

The white-browed Taoist priest was even more outrageous. He actually took out a fishing rod and fished nearby.

Hu Sinong's energy and blood surged, and he felt like he was about to finish!

"Your Highness King Yan, Your Majesty the Princess." Hu Sinong stepped forward bravely.

Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes and nodded, indicating for him to continue.

Hu Sinong took a deep breath: "The situation in Nanling is urgent. We should race against time. Just now, Wei Chen heard that the princess ordered the boatmen to stop the ship midway. Wei Chen was really puzzled."

"The sun hasn't set yet, don't worry." The woman said lazily.

Hu Sinong's anxious mouth blistered, and his face wrinkled: "Your Majesty, if we delay for a moment longer on the road, one more civilian in Nanling will die."

Xiao Chenyan then took a closer look at this person.

Qing Wu slowly sat up and looked at Hu Sinong, "Master Sinong cares about the people."

Hu Sinong was angry and felt that Qing Wu's words were strange, so he blurted out what was in his heart: "She can't compare to the princess."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Sinong regretted it and wanted to slap himself twice.

He really didn't remember his lesson. He offended the superior officer because he couldn't speak, so he was demoted to the fifth rank and was thrown into the position of Si Nong.

Now he has done this stupid thing again, and King Yan is right next to him!

Hu Sinong thought that he was going to follow in the footsteps of Shi Lang, and his fat face was a little pale, but he heard Princess Yan laugh out loud, and she said to King Yan without being annoyed at all:

"People should not be judged by their appearance. Even though Hu Sinong looks like a corrupt official, he still has common people in his heart."

Hu Sinong's face turned red, and he spoke in an accent in a hurry: "I'm not greedy. I'm fat. It's my wife who raised me."

After saying that, he wanted to cover his face with his fat hands.

He was so mean-mouthed that he even revealed that he was a soft-boiled person.

At this time, the surrounding black-armored guards all laughed.

Hu Sinong peeked in embarrassment and saw a smile on King Yan's cold face, and felt increasingly uneasy.

It should be said that Hu Sinong was full of passion and ambition in his early years, but his official career was not smooth, and he was not good at currying favor. In addition, he was originally from a peasant family, so he could not win the attention of the powerful people in the capital.

In addition, it was not a good time for him to enter the court. It happened to be the year when the former prince burned himself to death. After that, the official administration of Dayong Chaotang was never clear.

He was demoted again and again, and after being pushed to the position of Si Nong, he gradually became numb and had no hope for the court, but he had never been involved in corruption.

"Hu Sinong should grab a few bites of food as soon as he has time. Otherwise, I might not have time to feed you when we get to Nanling."

It was rare for Qingnu to speak in a good temper.

Hu Sinong's face was full of resentment, and he said everything he wanted to say, not less than one sentence.

"With the time it takes us to stop the ship, can we still reach Nanling?"

Bai Mei also put away the fishing rod and came back. He chuckled and said, "Master Hu's mouth has offended many people. Your lord, this person must be punished."

Xiao Chenyan hummed in confusion.

Hu Sinong's heart sank, his face was filled with sadness, and he was already thinking about how to write a suicide note.

The man said calmly: "Then let Hu Sinong eat two more bowls of rice as a punishment. Eat enough to build up enough strength."

Hu Sinong's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

While he was stunned, the skylight gradually dimmed, and the horizontal surface in front swallowed up the last ray of afterglow.

Qing Wu also stood up, patted the nut crumbs on her hands, and ordered: "Ask everyone on the boat behind to come over and disconnect the iron rope connecting the two boats."

Hu Sinong was confused. Seeing that everyone in the palace was excited, he became more and more confused. What was he going to do?

After everyone on the boat behind them retreated, Qing Wu nodded, walked to the bow of the boat, took out a bead the size of a pigeon egg from her arms, and threw it into the water.

The beads fell into the water and were submerged in an instant, causing ripples on the river.

Xiao Chenyan: "What are those beads?"

"Ding Shuizhu." Qing Wu smiled, watching the ripples on the river gradually spread, "It's coming."

Everyone on the deck heard these three words, and doubts arose in their hearts, what is coming?

At this moment, the originally calm river surface stirred up wild waves, and the entire ship shook violently.

Xiao Chenyan hugged Qingnu for the first time, but when he heard her joyful laughter, he lowered his head and saw her eyes bright with excitement and expectation, and felt relieved.

The next moment, screams and breaking waves sounded together.

"what!!"

"what is that--"

"River Monster!! It's a River Monster!!"

A terrifying and huge monster head shot up from the water, opened its huge mouth and swallowed the ship behind it. The water waves rolled up made the ship's body bump even more violently.

After finally waiting for the water to calm down, everyone was frightened.

The monster appeared suddenly and disappeared so quickly that no one could see what it was.

Although the people in Prince Yan's Palace knew that it must be their own princess who summoned him, they still couldn't control their heartbeats.

As for Hu Sinong and others, they had long fainted from fright.

A torch was lit on the deck, and the moment the fire ignited, it also illuminated the huge round eyes on the water directly in front of the ship, right next to the bow.

There was another burst of screams.

When those eyes came closer, Xiao Chenyan noticed it. He was also surprised in his heart, but did not panic. At this moment, when he looked into those eyes that were as big as a person, he actually saw a bit of innocence in those beast eyes.

Everyone on the deck also saw clearly what the giant thing that swallowed a whole ship was. The monster just now had only half of its head, which was like a hill.

"Turtle...yes, turtle..."

Someone trembled.

"Such a big turtle... no... this is the river god!!"

"It's the River God, it must be the River God!!"

Just when everyone was trembling with excitement, they watched helplessly as a white and slender hand touched the center of the River God's eyes.

"Long time no see, little turtle."

Everyone: "..."

Was it the strong wind from the river that deafened their ears, or the water from the river that knocked them out of their minds? What did the princess call the river god?
