C118

Ren Ang stuck his head out of the window, waved at the fish, and threw two pastries that he kept for tasting into the river.

The fish happily wagged its tail, quickly devouring all the melted sweets, not even sparing the water nearby. It took a big gulp and stuck its head out again to spew bubbles.

Judging by its size, it was still not big enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. However, it rarely had any sweets, so it was quite satisfied!

Ren Ang thought for a while, then extended his roots into the kitchen to steal two pieces of fresh meat, and continued to feed them.

As a result, each of them ate and fed. Before long, half of the vegetables and eggs in the kitchen were gone.

Ren Ang calculated the number of people on the boat, he felt that the remaining food would last until noon, so he stopped, and waved at the fish.

The fish turned twice in the water, stuck out half of its body, flapped its fins, and then dived deep into the water.

Ren Ang opened up the Sagacity and probed downwards. He discovered that the fish was deep underwater, digging for something in the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river. The sand stirred up by the river made the water a little turbid. Not long later, a large bag was taken out by the fish's mouth. Then another. Three, four...

Ren Ang withdrew his Sagacity silently. Unexpectedly, he had more fish than him. Right now, he greatly missed his Cosmic Bag. He did not know which part of his sea of consciousness he had fallen to, or how far he would need to cultivate before he could use it again.

His Cosmic Bag also had many treasures!

Ren Ang was worried about his own secret treasure, and the guardian of the warehouse was even more worried than him!

"F * ck you!" What wicked person stole food to open a small stove? " Before the sky brightened, a gong-like voice resounded from the bottom of the cabin!

Ren Ang retrieved the Spiritual Energy he released on the boat and continued to meditate and pretend to be dead.

Lord Ren and Commander Li were naturally alarmed by the incident where the warehouse was stolen. They personally went down to check, but the cabin was completely sealed, and the door wasn't broken, but it was exactly the same as the chef's report: half of the ingredients in the warehouse are missing! No matter how familiar the meat was, half of it was gone!

A traitor?

The guard in charge of the warehouse who was being stared at immediately raised his hands to show his innocence, and said with a sullen face: "Even if it was the cheers from outside last night, without the order and permission of the lord, this humble servant will not dare to leave even half a step! Fearing that the thieves would penetrate the walls and hold the hold of the ship, the humble servant became even more vigilant. Several cabins on the left and right sides went to check as well, only to hear a few clear sounds of striking and a few inexplicable trembling of the ship. But, the bottom of the cabin has not been penetrated, and the walls have not been broken, so no one has been able to enter! " Not even a drop of water came in!

The other silent guard who had followed him on duty also nodded his head repeatedly.

"Indeed, no outsiders have entered."

Since the food was gone, it naturally could not have been eaten by the guards. How much can you eat in one night? As for stealing the secret stash and everyone living on the ship, it was easy to search. There was no need for the guardian to lie.

The chef panted as he looked at the ingredients that were still neatly sorted out. He cursed in his heart, "Could it be that the water monster devoured them all?" Everyone knew about the water monster in the river.

Everyone was silent. However, he was secretly thinking about the possibility of this happening.

Commander Li opened his mouth. "Are these items enough to support us to the next port?"

The chef thought for a moment and said, "It's enough to make breakfast."

Someone at the side immediately answered, "We will arrive at Huisha County tomorrow afternoon." When the time comes, we can go ashore to resupply.

The Lord Ren raised his eyebrows, "That thief knows his place." The amount stolen wasn't too much, just right. They wouldn't starve them, but they were forced to stay. Originally, he had planned to go straight down to the Chang He Province in one go.

He looked around the storage room and saw that it didn't look like the leftover food that had been rummaged through. He was frightened and said, "Quickly check and check, is there any poison?"

Commander Li had a serious expression as well.

The leftover ingredients were just right. If they didn't pick and pick, they would all be cooked. If they missed the inspection …

"No poison." A few military doctors inspected the food and asked the dogs on the boat to have a taste. Only then did they come to a conclusion.

Everyone simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. They all felt that tonight was truly exciting. Things happened one after another, and it was simply labour and worry!

The worst thing was that the anchor of the main boat had sunk into the water, and the boat had followed the current for an unknown distance. It had not deviated from its course yet, nor had it touched the rocks or been stranded.

Fortunately, there was a spare anchor, and he had to rely on the experience of the boatmen to move forward in the dark by the light of the big lanterns at the bow, hoping to find a suitable place to park.

"Strange, there's a red fish swimming in front of the bow." The boatman who was observing the road muttered to himself. Seeing that the fish was swimming slightly to the right with its tail wagging, he quickly signaled the helmsman to move to the right with the Blizzard Wind Lamp in his hand.

As the signal was released, the boatman couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

This is bad! He actually believed in a fish!

Just as he was about to correct his mistake, a voice in his head reminded him: "Yes, that's right!"

The boatman's memory blurred and he actually forgot what he was going to do.

After that, the fleet continued to follow the red fish. Not a single person found anything amiss. However, Ren Zihua had reminded him whether he needed to find a place to stop and rest, so he explained: "I wonder if those water bandits still have any backup, and whether this place is safe. He did not often travel by boat, so he did not know how difficult it was to travel by night. He only thought that these boatmen were old veterans.

Lord Ren thought about it and felt that there was no way to refute it, so he remained on tenterhooks for the entire night.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, the boatman found a quiet curve to dock on. The soldiers were busy with their work, maintenance, and cleaning up the rest of the ship. Finally, the ship had been tidied up a bit.

However, the marks left on the outer walls of the ship by the fire and the marks left by the flowing swords and arrows made it clear that the ship had been attacked.

I don't know what the officials of the precincts will think when their ship is attacked.

As expected, the ship docked at the pier of Huisha County, and the officers waiting on the shore looked very upset.

The county magistrate went up to pay his respects to the Imperial Commissioner and bluntly asked: "But the river is not peaceful? Is there anything I can help you with? " He had been here for five years, but he had not heard of the presence of water bandits in the upper reaches of the Yen River, nor had he received any reports from the public.

"Lord Wang is overthinking." Ren Zihua was rather amiable towards the county magistrate, because he had inquired about it many times. He knew that this was an upright official, otherwise, he would not have stayed here for two consecutive terms without promotion. It was not that he was doing badly, seeing the busy and happy faces of the residents on the shore, as well as the good growth of the rice fields on both sides of the river, as well as the laughter and conversation of the woman by the river who was washing the clothes and fishing for shrimp, it could be seen that the governance of Huisha County was not bad. He was just too straightforward and couldn't be liked by his superior.

Ren Zihua tactfully rejected the county officials' good intentions to invite him ashore for a rest, stating that he was under the orders of the emperor. He only needed to collect all the materials and immediately set off for the disaster area.

The county magistrate expressed his understanding and directed his men to deliver all the items that the lord needed as soon as possible.

Ren Ang laid at the second floor window, bored out of his mind as he played with the two huge pink pearls that Hong Jin gave him. Suddenly, he felt two pairs of ill-intentioned eyes land on him.
