Tyrant father's group pet little princess

Chapter 776 There are water thieves in Xiazi Bay, and there are river officials blocking the way ahead
With the support of Xia Baoer and Gong Yufei, their ship sailed smoothly without even passing a big wave.

The helmsman in charge of the ship is an experienced courtier named Du Fu.

He used to work in the Ministry of Industry, not only familiar with ship installations, but also with water.

Whenever he went to rivers or seas, Xia Hongmo was willing to send him there.

Today, this Dufu veteran is over sixty years old.

But the spirit flickered, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

He once said it when chatting with Xia Baoer.

"I can't stay idle, I'm bored at home, but I don't have much energy. But once on the water, it's like returning to my hometown, and I'm full of motivation to do everything."

At this moment, it was afternoon, Xia Baoer was reading in the wing room, and Concubine Hui was taking a lunch break inside.

As soon as the curtain at the door moved, Yan Hao came in and reported in a low voice: "Princess, sir, please see me."

Xia Baoer took advantage of the situation to look outside, and there was a figure standing vaguely outside the curtain.

She put down the book lightly, and made a gesture like Yan Ru: "I'll meet him outside, you stay here and look at your mother."

After Xia Baoer went out, they all bowed their hands and saluted.

"Grandpa Du, the noon sun is not dry, why don't you take a rest?"

Although Du Fu is over sixty years old, he does not look old, nor does he have any silver hair, only the wrinkles around his eyes are conspicuous.

The skin also takes on a healthy reddish color.

He smiled kindly: "I don't like to take a nap, but I like to watch the sunlight glistening on the water, it's really beautiful."

After finishing speaking, his smile faded slightly, and he started talking about business.

"In the past few days, our ship has been traveling very fast, and the weather has been clear and clear for many days, and even the wind is tailwind.

It is rare for me to meet such a good omen. We have driven half of the distance, and it took less than six days to spend ten days. "

"However..." Du Fu's voice changed, and his eyes were a little worried: "I will pass through Xiazi Bay soon, there are two dangers there, I must explain it to the princess."

Xia Baoer nodded, fluttering her eyelashes earnestly: "Grandpa Du, please tell me."

"If we want to go to Ling'an County, we have to pass through Xiazi Bay. But in the early years, this place was entrenched with a group of water bandits, who ran amok and hunted down and robbed passing ships.

Although officers and soldiers came to suppress each time, these water bandits are very knowledgeable about water and are very cunning.Every time, most of the water bandits escaped, and when the officers and soldiers left, they made a comeback.

Moreover, the reason why this water bay is called Xiazi Bay is because the entrance is large and the exit is small.If the water thieves block the exit, our ship may be damaged. "

Du Fu's worries are not unreasonable.

The people on their boat are all distinguished, a princess, a concubine Hui, and a national teacher.

Water bandits are arrogant and unreasonable. When robbing fishing boats in the past, fishermen who resisted but failed were often killed by them and thrown on the water.

Therefore, generally there are boats that are willing to detour and never pass through Xiaziwan.

Xia Baoer's eyes were dark after hearing this, and she asked in a calm tone: "Grandpa Du just said that there are two dangers, and he has already said one, what is the second thing?"

Du Fu's face softened a little: "I'm afraid the Master of the State Teacher can handle this matter. A little in front of Xiazi Bay is the legendary Heguan Road.

The river we are walking on is called Pujiang.Here is a legend about a river official named Xinpu.The local people said that the river official was cruel by nature, and he caused strong winds and waves to the passing boats, making them unable to move forward, and they had to throw down many sacrifices to eat before they could set off.
