Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

"Wait!"

Li Chengqian's sudden emergence from the cabin startled Liu Rengui and the others.

Upon seeing Wang De, the eunuch accompanying the other party, who also looked anxious, he disregarded all etiquette.

"Eunuch Wang, how could you let His Highness come here? Quickly, get back into the cabin!"

Liu Rengui felt like he wanted to die at this moment. It was just a voyage that should have been uneventful, at most he would have just taken His Highness the Crown Prince on a voyage and then returned.

Who would have thought that they would encounter such a massive ocean monster?

The ship was several times larger than the treasure ship beneath their feet. Liu Rengui even felt that if they angered it, they would be in serious trouble, let alone being bumped into.

Even if you were slapped by that fish tail that was tens of meters wide.

Even a slight impact from the churning waves would put the treasure ship beneath our feet in grave danger.

Even if Liu Rengui dies a thousand times or ten thousand times, it won't matter!

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince also perished at sea?!

Outside, the lookout's hoarse shouts came from the watchtower.

"It's moving! The sea monster is coming! It's heading this way!!!"

Liu Rengui's eyes instantly turned red, and without regard for anything else, he immediately ordered: "Order all ballista teams to attack immediately once they are within range!"

"Use explosive crossbow bolts on me!"

"Yes!!!"

The hurried footsteps of the sailors echoed on the deck and along the sides of the ship. Some were carrying crossbows, some were adjusting the angle of the ballistae, and others were preparing to launch the lifeboats.

Liu Rengui was eager to have Li Chengqian taken away to escape.

But unexpectedly, the next moment...

Another shout came from the watchtower outside.

"It stopped! The monster isn't coming any closer to us. It... it stopped!"

Liu Rengui and the officers in the captain's cabin were taken aback. They quickly raised their binoculars and saw that the huge, black body was indeed there on the sea.

It seemed like he had just turned around and made no further moves, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Liu Rengui was about to urge the treasure ships to begin their return voyage, Li Chengqian suddenly ordered everyone to stop.

"Your Highness, there are countless creatures in the vast ocean. This creature is definitely not one of the whales we hunted before. If we don't leave now, that beast could easily ram us and we would all perish!"

"Your Highness has shown me great kindness and favor, and I would die without regret. But Your Highness, you cannot be harmed!!!"

Liu Rengui shouted excitedly.

Li Chengqian simply shook his head slightly.

As for the origin of this "Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas," Li Chengqian naturally couldn't say that it was a reward given by a cheat code, or a prize drawn from a gift pack.

He pulled Liu Rengui to the side of the deck and looked at the "small hill" not far away.

"General Liu, do you believe that I can command it?"

Liu Rengui stared at him blankly, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

Immediately afterward, Li Chengqian spoke directly: "Lift your tail..."

"Hoohoo!"

Liu Rengui: "!!!"

Not far away, the sight of a whale's tail, dozens of meters wide, suddenly rising from the sea surface amidst a vast expanse of seawater and waves, nearly made Liu Rengui and the naval officers beside him pop their eyes out.

Before they could even point at "The Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea" in horror and say something,

Then they heard their own Crown Prince speak again.

"Spray some water..."

"puff!!!"

Liu Rengui: "!!!"

"Turn over..."

"Wow..."

Liu Rengui: "!!!"

Li Chengqian's voice wasn't loud; it was the volume of someone talking face-to-face at close range. With the sea breeze at the moment, it was probably inaudible even from ten meters away.

But that's how magical and incomprehensible it is.

The large creature in the distance was actually performing each action according to His Highness the Crown Prince's orders.

Liu Rengui was dumbfounded. The naval officers around him, who had just been on high alert and even prepared to die for their country, were now staring blankly at Li Chengqian as if he were a god.

"Gudong..."

Some people swallowed hard, while others pinched their arms.

When everyone slowly came to their senses, they saw that the enormous creature that had been in the distance had somehow, at some point, slowly and gently swam to the side of the treasure ship beneath their feet.

"puff!"

A fountain-like stream of water gushed out from the breathing nozzle, startling everyone on the deck.

"Diandiandiandian..."

Liu Rengui stammered on the spot, trying hard to say something, but the next moment he saw his crown prince suddenly turn over and then...

"Your Highness!!!"

Li Chengqian suddenly jumped off the boat, leaving Liu Rengui, who was anxious to stop him, completely missing his target.

Looking to the side again, they saw that Li Chengqian was already standing steadily on the giant beast's back...

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't move! This humble general will come to your rescue right away!"

"Quick! Launch the small boat!"

Liu Rengui was extremely anxious, but he was also afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would anger the huge creature on the side of the ship and hurt Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

On the treasure ship, the naval soldiers who received the order quickly responded.

Small boats were hurriedly hoisted and lowered onto the sea.

The rest of the soldiers stared blankly at Prince Li Chengqian, who was pacing back and forth on the giant beast, occasionally squatting down to stroke it.

"That, that, that's His Highness the Crown Prince?!"

"This, this... Brother Zhang, please pinch me! I think I'm hallucinating..."

"I didn't drink today while on duty! What's wrong with my eyes...?"

The naval soldiers discussed the scene before them in shock, while Liu Rengui had already taken the lead and leaped onto the small boat, rowing towards the "Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea".

The closer Liu Rengui got, the more he felt his own insignificance.

"Your Highness, please slide down quickly, I'll catch you!"

He tentatively mustered his courage and tried to climb up, but the slippery surface made it impossible for Liu Rengui to get any leverage. He had a dagger at his waist, but he dared not use it at this moment.

He could only lower his voice and call out to Li Chengqian above him.

"Hehe, General Liu, there's no need to be nervous. It won't harm me. On the contrary, it is the Great Tang's guardian beast that suppresses the seas!"

grandfather!

You are my grandfather, Liu Rengui!

Forget about mythical beasts! If you are injured anywhere, I will have my entire family, including nine generations of my relatives, executed. We will all be sinners against China!

Seeing Liu Rengui, a man in his forties, looking as if he was about to burst into tears on the spot.

Li Chengqian finally smacked his lips, then leaped onto the small boat.

"Quickly, quickly, get on the ship. Your Highness, please be seated. This humble general will escort you onto the ship immediately..."

When someone reaches a certain level of status, even if you know there is no danger and have proven that there is no danger, your subordinates will absolutely not dare to assume there is no danger.

Liu Rengui rowed himself, and the adrenaline made him move incredibly fast.

With the help of the officers and soldiers on the ship, Li Chengqian was quickly pulled back onto the ship. When he boarded the treasure ship again, he seemed to be completely exhausted.

He lay on the deck, breathing heavily.

Li Chengqian sighed silently and temporarily ordered the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas to stay away from the treasure ship. The latter obediently moved a distance away.

Now, the people on the treasure ship finally relaxed a little.

Pulling Liu Rengui aside, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the "Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea" not far away, and suddenly spoke.

"General Liu, aren't you surprised that I, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, have never been to sea, and that the Tang Dynasty has never had a voyage to Arabia, yet I have produced detailed nautical charts and routes?"

Liu Rengui was taken aback.

Look at the prince, who has a mysterious and unpredictable look, and stare blankly at the huge creature in the distance. He seems to be a little sad because he was rejected. The "Kun", which is not cute at all, is stirring up the sea in protest.

"Your Highness, you mean...it is it?"
