With a loud shout, the soldiers covered in black and gray looked up to the sky and laughed as if they were crazy.
"Yes, that's a donkey spirit!"
"Your Majesty, there is a donkey spirit on our ship!"
"Help, help, that donkey has become a sperm~!"
The roar was so hoarse that Xia Yuanqi was so frightened that black lines formed on his head.
"That's enough, come here, pull him down!"
When the guards heard the sound, they rushed forward immediately and dragged the crazy soldier down.
The soldiers with gray faces kept struggling, and their mouths were full of donkey spirits.
"Help, Your Highness, there really is a donkey spirit on our ship. Go and ask the Taoist priest to catch the monster."
"Oh, yes, hurry up and go to Longhu Mountain to invite the Zhang Family Celestial Master!"
The sound of a donkey spirit on the boat was like a slap in everyone's face.
One of the family members smiled disdainfully and turned his head with a gloomy expression.
"Does this make us all fools?"
"There are no monsters or monsters in this world. This kid must have read too many messy books!"
The other person narrowed his eyes after hearing this, looked at Xia Yuanqi with an unhappy face and asked, "Prince Jing'an, isn't this trick of fooling a child a little too much?"
The others paused after hearing this and came back to their senses instantly.
"That's right, with so much gold and silver treasure, do you still want to keep it all to yourself?"
As soon as these words came out, many members of the aristocratic family looked over.
Xia Yuanqi frowned and turned his head with a dark expression.
"Who do you think this prince is?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him coldly, Xia Yuanqi had to slow down his tone and forced out an ugly smile: "Everyone, let's not talk about brothers. I urgently need your full support this time. Even if we are brothers, what are my thoughts? , but will I use this stupid method of goblins and ghosts? If you think so, then you are underestimating me, Xia Yuanqi!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and one of them nodded slightly.
"What Brother Yuan Qi said makes sense. Could it be that the soldier was really frightened by the fire and went crazy?"
When the others heard this, they still kept their faces dark and said nothing.
Seeing that most people still doubted him, Xia Yuanqi cursed in his heart, is that fool trying to ruin my good deeds? Or is this simply a divorce plan set up by Lin Xi?
You Lin Xi, you first left a large amount of treasure on the ship, and then ordered people to destroy it to frame this prince?
Thinking about it, Xia Yuanqi's heart was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
Lin Xi, Lin Xi, you are too cruel!
Lin Xi, who was far away at the port, suddenly sneezed twice and raised her head in confusion.
"Damn it, is that bitch talking bad about my prince?"
After cursing a few words, Lin Xi lay lazily on Zi Yuan's long legs and whispered softly: "Girl, remember to call me when the ship arrives. Brother, I will take a short rest."
Zi Yuan smiled and nodded after hearing this, and thoughtfully pulled up her skirt to cover someone's belly.
…
On the other side, Xia Yuanqi frowned, constantly thinking about how to appease the noble family members in front of him.
He finally gathered these people together, the purpose was to find someone to share the firepower, or to take the blame for him, if these people gave up their jobs.
When he thought of this, Xia Yuanqi's eyelids trembled and his hair almost turned gray.
This group of arrogant fools only care about women in their eyes. If this prince is not...wait, a woman?
Xia Yuanqi raised his eyebrows, raised his head with a smile, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, please don't be impatient, please listen to what I'm going to say next!"
With a loud shout, many descendants of Jiangnan's aristocratic families turned their heads and looked over.
One of them said with a dark face: "Xia Yuanqi, if you have anything to say, just say it, we are not deaf!"
The others burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Xia Yuanqi's eyes turned cold, and he held back his anger and raised his hands.
"Everyone, although the treasure ship was burned and sunk, the gold, silver and jewels will at best fall into the river and will never be lost."
"Just send a few with good water properties to take a look. If the things are still there, then why don't we go back and mobilize a few salvage ships?"
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this.
One of the young men in a bright red brocade robe sneered and said, "Brother Mao, send a few people who are good at water to take a look."
"If the things are still there, then we have misunderstood Brother Yuan Qi. When we get ashore, we must properly apologize to others."
"But if the thing is gone..."
Mao Xiang, the son of the Admiral of the Fuzhou Navy, smiled slightly after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Brother Dong said?"
After hearing this, several soldiers who were good at water quickly took off their shirts and jumped down.
A few waves rolled up, and the raging river swallowed up all the people in an instant.
A moment later, when everyone was already a little impatient.
"Plop~" with a sound, a soldier's head popped up.
"Is the thing still there?" One of the family members asked hurriedly.
"Come back, sir, you're still here, everything is down there!"
Everyone's faces turned red after hearing this, and a few of them with thicker skin immediately raised their hands to Xia Yuanqi.
"Oh, it seems this is all a misunderstanding. Brother Yuan Qi, you have been wronged. I will wait here to make amends to you."
After hearing this, Xia Yuanqi suppressed his anger and smiled.
"No problem, no problem. Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's go back and mobilize the salvage boat as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, many members of the aristocratic family seemed a little reluctant.
Xia Yuanqi understood instantly when he saw this.
These bastards can't walk when they see money. How can they run away with money here?
Complaints are complaints, but Xia Yuanqi still didn't dare to turn against him, and he didn't even dare to speak harshly.
Not to mention these bastards, they are all sons of noble families and generals.
When these dandy elders gather together, they basically represent the entire Jiangnan.
Not to mention him, even King Jingan, the actual overlord of Jiangnan, would have a headache if he met him.
…
the other side.
On the rushing river, the waves were rolling continuously, and a shiny brain sometimes surfaced and sometimes dived to the bottom.
If you look carefully, you will see that there is a pretty girl with a pretty figure lying on the back of the mysterious black figure.
Wet hair, white shoulders, waves of river water pouring into the little cherry mouth, coughing softly...
Good guy, I almost choked to death.
Mei Erniang couldn't stand it anymore. She tightly grasped the two remaining manes with both hands and shouted with a slightly crying tone: "Smelly bald donkey, you did it on purpose!"
"Have you forgotten that you are a donkey?"
"If you dare to dive again, I will kill you!"
The stubborn donkey's shiny big head slowly emerged from the water, raised its head with a slight disdain, and snorted softly.
Mei Er Niang's chest trembled with anger when she saw this, but Mei Jiao Niang, who knew nothing about water, really had no other solution except to swallow her anger.
Even though she is an expert at the eighth level, she is also a landlubber who grew up in the mountains.
If this stubborn donkey really gets angry and throws her off, she will probably be gone.
