Liu Pan'er sent someone to the capital to deliver a message to Mrs. Qi San, asking Mrs. Qi San to help with errands and then propose marriage.

However, in this matter, if Mrs. Qi San feels that she is not capable, she can still ask Mrs. Qi for help.

The Ninth Princess was in a good mood. She used to get seasick easily when taking a boat, but this time she felt like walking on flat ground.

It turns out that mood can also affect whether you get seasick!

The huge official ship had been sailing at sea for three days and had left the sphere of influence in Jiangnan. When it passed a bifurcated river, it actually ran aground.

The ship suddenly stopped and the Ninth Princess was drinking tea and spilled it all over herself.

The Ninth Princess frowned and looked outside, "Caiyu, what's going on outside?"

Caiyu also looked puzzled, "Princess, please wait a moment while I go to inquire outside."

"Well, go and come back quickly." Ninth Princess stood up and held on to the table to prevent the ship from shuddering again.

After Caiyu went out, she came back soon.

"Princess, there are a lot of boulders below and it's stranded!" Caiyu replied, with a solemn look on her face, "A big hole was knocked out of the bottom of the big ship and water has entered it. Now the boatmen are repairing it."

Unknowingly to Princess Ninth, the ship tilted slightly.

The Ninth Princess frowned, "This is an official road in the water. How come there are huge rocks? Are there usually no boats passing through?"

After saying that, Princess Ninth took the whip and walked out.

Caiyu followed closely behind.

Manager Li, who was in charge of the big ship, immediately stepped forward to greet the Ninth Princess when he saw her coming.

He felt uneasy. He didn't expect to be stranded here and make such a big mistake.

"Please forgive me, Princess. My subordinates didn't know that this place suddenly became shallow. Last time, we passed by here and it was safe."

It is already afternoon, and in two hours it will be dark.

If it cannot be repaired in time, they will have to spend the night on the river.

A broken ship will always have some accidents, and Manager Li doesn't dare to be careless.

At this moment, several sailors emerged from the water and climbed up quickly along the rope ladder.

"Manager Li, princess, there is mud all around, but suddenly there are a lot of rocks underneath."

Hearing this, Manager Li's expression changed drastically. It was obvious that someone had placed the stone here deliberately.

Ordinary merchant ships have shallow drafts and cannot touch these rocks.

The official ship was very big, and when it turned a corner here, it happened to hit it.

This was definitely done on purpose.

Manager Li immediately replied: "Ninth Princess, someone did this deliberately. Please take care of yourself."

General Zhao was escorting the Ninth Princess. He also looked serious at this time and looked around him warily.

"Manager Li, when will the ship be repaired?"

Manager Li replied: "It will take another four hours. In addition, there may be such a turn ahead, which is hard to guard against."

"How far is it from the nearest port?" General Zhao asked again. His sight was good during the day and he could observe his surroundings.

At night, when it gets dark, it's possible that someone might touch it.

If it is close to the port, then change to a smaller boat as soon as possible and go ashore.

When on the water, I always feel that I can't reach the sky or the ground. When I encounter a siege, I can't do anything.

Manager Li thought, "If we switch to a small boat, it will take three hours to reach the port below."

The Ninth Princess looked at the lake not far away and asked, "Can we go ashore to rest? Will we switch to land from here?"

Manager Li shook his head and said, "Back to Princess Ninth, there are dense deep forests around here. Snakes, insects, rats and ants are even more dangerous inside."

"Princess, you'd better stay on the boat. When the boat is repaired, we can go on our way."

General Zhao frowned, "Manager Li, ships can run aground during the day, and some people do it intentionally. Even if the ship is repaired, it is still very dangerous to travel in the middle of the night."

General Zhao is now very worried. The person who put down these big rocks must be targeting the princess.

He stayed on the official ship and waited all night. He was worried that someone would attack him at night.

We changed to a small boat and left first, but we were afraid of an ambush ahead.

After all, there are only a few small boats, so they must be ambushed and surrounded, and they can only be captured without mercy.

Manager Li looked at the Ninth Princess again, "Princess, the ship is being repaired now. It will take about three or four hours to repair it. Let's rest on the ship and leave tomorrow?"

The Ninth Princess looked around and saw that there were indeed no human beings in the high mountains.

Looking at the escaping boats again, Princess Ninth frowned. If someone really had bad intentions, this boat would be easier to catch.

"General Zhao, what do you think?" Ninth Princess looked at General Zhao, "I don't know about water marching. You have experience. You can make your decision."

Hearing this, General Zhao and Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they are not afraid of enemies in the dark. They are more afraid of Jiu Gong acting recklessly and not listening to dissuasion.

After the two discussed it, they immediately decided to stay.

Steward Li urged the boatmen on the ship to repair the ship quickly. General Zhao sent several small boats down and had people patrolling around.

If anything unusual is found, call the police immediately.

The soldiers on the ship were divided into two squads and must be closely guarded day and night.

The Ninth Princess returned to the cabin and was at ease.

Caiyu and Caixia were anxious, panicked and restless.

"Okay, you two sit down quickly and save some energy. If something happens, at least you still have the energy to escape."

Caiyu and Caixia just sat on the small stools, looking anxious.

"Ninth Princess, aren't you afraid?"

Princess Ninth nodded, pinched a grape and put it in her mouth, confident but pretending to be scared, "Afraid!"

"But is there any use being afraid now? On the water, there are no ships coming and going, so there is no point in being anxious."

Caiyu bit her lip and looked ugly, "Ninth Princess, what if we encounter water bandits?"

"Life or death, wealth and wealth are determined by heaven!" The Ninth Princess replied, "There are still one or two hundred guards to protect me. If I can't protect you, it only means that I am destined to die."

Caixia panicked, "Princess, why don't we take a boat and leave? This is obviously someone's intention. They just waited for dark to come and rob the house."

"With so many small boats, there can also be dozens of people protecting the princess. It will be much better to get to the next port."

The Ninth Princess smiled mysteriously, which was profound.

"But General Zhao and Manager Li both said it was safe to stay on the ship. They are experts and we are laymen. I think we should listen to their advice."

"But……"

Seeing that the two palace maids were still worried, the Ninth Princess waved her hand and said, "This is a vast water surface and the wind is blowing. The boat may not be able to withstand the wind and waves."

"What if the wind is strong and the boat capsizes? I know how to swim but you don't. What will happen then?"

Upon hearing this, Caixia and Caiyu stopped talking for an instant!

None of them know how to swim.

It gets later and later, and night falls quietly.

The food has been prepared and served in the kitchen.

After Caixia and Caiyu tested it with silver needles and found that it was not poisonous, they served the Ninth Princess for dinner.

After eating, the Ninth Princess summoned Manager Li and General Zhao again to make sure everything was going well before falling asleep.

Small boats that looked like leaves appeared on the lake and gradually approached the big ship.

Quietly.

On the ships responsible for guarding, the soldiers staggered around and lay motionless on the ships.

When you get to the big ship, follow the rope and get on board directly.

These men in black were well-trained and went straight to the ninth princess's room.

At this time, the ninth princess and the maids had already passed out.
Chapter completed!
