The corner of Xiao Lingyue's mouth twitched: "But we are on the ship now, and the ship will take two days. If something happens in these two days, or if we encounter an enemy attack, and all the guards are incompetent, then it will be a problem.
Are you going to let others slaughter you if you get the fish and meat from the water?
Let’s talk about it a little more extreme.
What if the ship we are on hits a reef and sinks midway?
You and King Yi don’t know how to swim, and neither do your guards. Wouldn’t this mean that the whole army will be wiped out?”
Prince Xiang broke out in cold sweat when she said this: "You can't be so unlucky, can you?"
Zhan Beihan frowned and said, "I told you that you can walk by water and asked you to choose someone. Did you choose with your eyes closed?"
"You didn't remind me!" King Xiang cried out, "This is my first time traveling by boat, so how could I consider this? Moreover, most of the guards in the capital are locals, and few of them know how to swim.
Based on this standard, I'm afraid even ten people wouldn't be able to choose.
Even if you are third brother, don’t you know how to swim?”
Zhan Beihan: "..."
He remembered that in the past, he had a fight with Xiao Lingyue and almost drowned in the lotus pond in his garden.
His face turned black.
Xiao Lingyue laughed muffledly.
However, what King Xiang said is also true.
The environment in Northern Qin is dry and there are not many people who know how to drink water.
Even if we forcefully pick out a few, I'm afraid the water properties are very average, and they are completely useless in complex wild waters like the Canglan River.
"The matter has come to this, we can only forget it."
Xiao Lingyue sighed, "Fortunately, there are a lot of sailors on the boat, and most of them are veterans. They make a living by boats. They generally have good water skills and have rich sailing experience. Even if something unexpected happens, they can handle it.
"
King Xiang nodded: "I hope so."
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, good things don't work but bad things work.
Not long after Xiao Lingyue finished speaking, the sky had just darkened, and for some unknown reason, the ship's hull suddenly shook violently!
Prince Xiang almost fell off his chair: "What's going on?"
Zhan Beihan and Xiao Lingyue stood up.
"What did you hit?" Xiao Lingyue asked in surprise.
"Go and take a look?" Zhan Beihan said.
"Walk."
The two of them immediately walked out, and King Xiang quickly caught up with them: "I, too, will go with you!"
The three people hurried downstairs and onto the deck.
Xiao Lingyue keenly noticed that the speed of the ship had slowed down, and seven or eight sailors were standing at the bow of the ship talking about something.
The sound of footsteps came from behind again, and the three household officials who lived on the first floor of the cabin were also alerted and hurriedly ran down with the guards.
"His Royal Highness King Xiang!"
An official asked in a panic: "I feel the hull of the ship is shaking. Did it hit an underwater reef?"
King Xiang shook his head: "I have just arrived, so I don't know much."
"Go and call the captain of the ship!" Another official ordered the guard.
Soon, the boss of the ship came over with two sailors and was about to greet him.
King Xiang said impatiently: "Stop talking about these false etiquettes and tell me what's going on!"
The captain of the boat raised his hands nervously: "I'm surprised, sir. The younger one just asked and said he hit a few water hooks."
"What?!" an official was shocked.
Xiao Lingyue frowned.
"What is a water hook?" King Xiang asked in confusion.
"That's it." The boss of the ship turned around and waved, and a sailor not far away came over carrying a black object.
