Who says the prince is weak and can't take care of himself?

Qi Xiao's room was near the stern, and Bai Xiqiao passed by Tang Ling's room as he walked along. Qing Lan saw Ye Huai and Bai Xiqiao enter the cabin one after another from afar, and her heart was beating fast. Could it be that Ye Huai had been discovered? But Ye Huai just kept going, and Bai Xiqiao didn't seem to be yelling or shouting, as if they had just met at the door?

Bai Xiqiao was approaching. Qinglan didn't want to talk or say hello to the man who had injured Ye Huai, so she turned around and went back to the room, slamming the door shut.

Bai Xiqiao smiled and thought to himself that these three people were quite interesting. The master was sick and weak, and the two servants were one stupid and the other fierce. I'm afraid that their lives would be even more difficult than theirs when they go to Yuanjing in the future.

Bai Xiqiao quickly knocked on Qi Xiao's door, and Zong Sheng came out to answer it: "Shh, I'm resting."

"Is he still feeling bad?"

"Ah."

"Is there any medicine that can help with seasickness?"

"Yes, I do, but I vomited the medicine soup after drinking it, which was even worse."

"Ah..." Bai Xiqiao sighed loudly and walked into the house, muttering, "This kid usually jumps up and down like he can poke a hole in the sky, but how come he turns into a puddle of mud when he gets on the boat?"

"Who are you calling a piece of mud!" Qi Xiao cursed with a frown without even raising his eyelids.

"Look at you now, you look like you've been soaking in a wine barrel for three days. You're completely drunk and confused. You can't even stand up, let alone walk in a straight line."

Bai Xiqiao was about to sit next to Qi Xiao when he spoke, but Qi Xiao raised his foot and kicked him on the butt: "Get out!"

"Brother, you dare to kick me? You are really brave. Do you want to be beaten?!"

"You are my personal guard now. If you don't want to die in Yuanjing, be careful with your words and actions from now on."

Bai Xiqiao was stunned, turned to look at Zong Sheng, nodded at Qi Xiao, and whispered, "It seems that he is really uncomfortable and his temper has flared up."

Zong Sheng nodded: "Let me sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'm leaving now," Bai Xiqiao said as he was about to leave, but then he sat down on the edge of the bed, showing no intention of leaving at all. "Hey, do you want to know what I saw just now?"

Qi Xiao turned around and lay on his side facing the wall, his back to Baixi Bridge, refusing to say a word to him.

Bai Xiqiao was very bored, so he turned to Zong Sheng and said, "Come on, ask me what I saw."

Zong Sheng looked at Qi Xiao, then at Baixi Bridge, and asked helplessly, "Didn't you go fishing? What did you see?"

"I saw it. The fish leaped up and hopped into Mr. Tang's room. After about an incense stick of time, it leaped out again and flopped onto the deck. Pretty amazing, isn't it?"

Zong Sheng understood that the fish caught at Baixi Bridge was Ye Huai.

Qi Xiao said in a muffled voice: "Keep a close eye on them and see what they want to do."

"The boat is so small, what can they do? Slash the boat and let the fish return to the sea?"

Qi Xiao slowly opened his eyes: "They can't do anything while the boat is on the Qin River, but if it docks, it's hard to say. Give them a chance."

Bai Xiqiao didn't understand for a moment, and looked at Zong Sheng, but saw that Zong Sheng was also shaking his head.

"Wait, what do you mean? They really want to run away? If it weren't for you protecting them, they would have died countless times. How dare they run? Are they trying to save their lives?"

Qi Xiao's headache got worse because of Bai Xiqiao's noise, so he simply pulled the quilt over his head. A muffled voice came from inside: "He's not trying to run away. He must have discovered something and wants to pass on the news to his people."

"Hmm?" Bai Xiqiao was even more confused. "What did you discover? What news are you delivering? Where did our people come from?"

Qi Xiao was too lazy to explain to Bai Xiqiao. He wasn't stupid and should be able to understand it if he thought about it. So he ordered him to leave: "I want to sleep!"

The Qin River is flooded, and the late summer and early autumn winds gently push away the waves, creating a world as tranquil and full of natural beauty as a painting. The weather is perfect, and the boats on the Qin River are either sailing with the wind or against it, passing each other or gazing at each other from afar, all in a perfectly normal sight.

People who make a living on the Qin River all year round know that the Qin River is the most beautiful at this time of year. The water is still and the fish are fat. If you hang a net at the stern of the boat, you will get a harvest in an hour or two. It is a reward from God to those who work hard.

The boatmen wanted to set up their nets as usual, but the captain wouldn't let them, insisting they needed the general's permission. The boatmen looked at each other helplessly. The boat had been sold, the original owner happily abandoning it and the boatmen with the gold. They were terrified, fearing they might accidentally offend the captain, or that they would be useless in the land and be thrown off the boat, leaving them unsure of how to survive.

After two days of anxiety, the boatmen gradually relaxed their minds when they saw that although the soldiers were serious, they did not make things difficult for them and that everything had nothing to do with them. They then wanted to go fishing, but they did not expect that they would not be allowed to do so.

"What's going on?" A captain came over to ask when he saw a lot of people gathered at the stern.

"The boatmen want to net fish."

"Have you asked General Su?"

"Not yet. I'm afraid it's not good to bother the general with such a trivial matter."

The captain thought for a moment and said, "The boat was bought by the King of Chu, so why not ask him?" The King of Chu was an idle man and it was only right for him to take care of such trivial matters.

The young soldier couldn't understand the meaning of the captain's words. He thought that since the King of Chu was the owner of the ship, it was natural for him to make this decision, so he took the order and went into the cabin.

The young soldier reached the door of Qi Xiao's room and was about to raise his hand when he suddenly stopped. This King of Chu was an arrogant and domineering man. He had snatched people from Yongcheng Street and slandered General Lu. He was a complete scoundrel. But due to his noble status, not even General Su could break up with him. When the captain asked him to come, he didn't think much of it. Now, standing at the door of the room, he realized that he had accepted an unpleasant task. He was afraid of being scolded. If the King of Chu was in a bad mood, he might even be beaten.

After hesitating for a long time, the little soldier still didn't dare to knock on the door. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat and kept stamping his feet.

Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao in the house heard the noise outside the door. They looked at each other, and Zong Sheng turned around and went out to open the door.

"What's the matter?"

The door suddenly opened, scaring the soldier. Zong Sheng, tall and strong, stood in front of the soldier like a wall, making him speechless.

Seeing that they were soldiers from the Tiger Power Army, Zong Sheng thought they were sent by Su Qin, so he asked again, "What are your orders, General Su?"

"Uh...ah...no..." The little soldier stuttered, uttering each word syllable at a time, without making a single clear statement.

Zong Sheng frowned: "What's going on?"

Bai Xiqiao followed and patted Zong Sheng on the shoulder gently: "You scared him."

"Hmm?" Are the Tiger Power Army really that useless? Afraid? What's the point of being a soldier if you're afraid?

As soon as Zong Sheng frowned, Bai Xiqiao knew what he was thinking. Although he didn't say it out loud, Bai Xiqiao couldn't help laughing.

The young soldier felt ashamed when he saw Bai Xiqiao laughing, and he gritted his teeth and hated himself for being stupid.

Bai Xiqiao pushed Zong Sheng aside and asked the young soldier with a smile, "What's your name?"
