Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

After Lin Ruhai was laid to rest, Qin Han began arranging his return trip to Sichuan.

There were many people queuing at the dock outside Hangzhou, all of whom had come to see off the King of Qin after hearing that he was leaving.

"I heard that His Highness the Prince of Qin is returning to Chengdu today."

"That's right. I heard that the Prince of Qin offended many nobles in the capital because of Lord Lin's matter, which is why he's leaving..."

Rumors among the people are mostly based on hearsay and contain exaggerated or untrue content.

A three-story ship was moored beside the huge dock. The entire hull was coated with a layer of dark brown tung oil, and a huge wooden dragon head was carved on the bow.

On either side of it were four large warships covered with iron plates, and the main decks were filled with Qin soldiers wearing standard armor.

These scenes left the veteran boatmen, who were used to seeing large ships at the docks, stunned.

An old boatman, shirtless, smacked his lips.

"Wow, this old man has been sailing on the Yangtze River for thirty years, and I've never seen anything like this in my entire life!"

"That's right. Look at the dark cannon muzzles on those iron ships. There are eight of them anchored on the river. What kind of foolish pirates would dare to make a move?"

"Still calling them river bandits? Everyone on this great river knows the waterways belong to the Qin family. Only a fool would dare to rob the King of Qin's ships!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the direction of the city gate. Qin Han rode a tall black horse at the front, wearing a dark robe.

For the sake of appearance, he also wore a long sword at his waist, and several horse-drawn carriages carrying goods and people followed behind.

The curtain of the carriage at the front was lifted slightly from the inside, revealing Lin Daiyu's slightly sickly face.

She turned her head and glanced in the direction outside Hangzhou city. Her eyes looked a little red, but this time she didn't shed any tears.

The Little Dragon Girl, sitting next to her in the carriage, gently squeezed her hand.

"Little sister, be strong. Even if Lord Lin were watching from heaven, he wouldn't want to see you unhappy."

Lin Daiyu nodded and lowered the carriage curtain.

Xue Baochai sat in the carriage slightly towards the back, watching the Hangzhou city gate slowly recede into the distance through the gaps, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

The Xue family first moved from Jinling to Lin'an, and then to Hangzhou. After going through a lot of trouble, they finally settled down with the Prince of Qin.

Xue Pan has now been forcibly taken out of the Jia family mansion by Wei Bat King and is currently traveling towards Sichuan with the cargo fleet behind him.

Aunt Xue, being the mother herself, wasn't as sentimental. In her view, having her children by her side was the best thing.

"Baochai, I remember the Prince of Qin has a mother in Chengdu. When you get there, please don't be impolite..."

Xue Baochai pulled her mother's arm and said helplessly.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, how could I be so inconsiderate?"

On the deck of the ship.

Shi Qingxuan stood by the railing, holding a jade flute, enjoying the breeze. For some reason, she ended up boarding the boat.

She didn't actually possess any "Evil Emperor's Relic," but the Western Demonic Sect guys simply didn't believe it. For the past two years, Shi Qingxuan had been either on the run or on her way to a run.

In the secluded world of Shi Zhixuan, those ambitious demonic masters only thought that her daughter was the most likely to inherit the Evil Emperor's Relic.

Shi Qingxuan assumed that she had followed Qin Han to Chengdu to escape the pursuit of the Demonic Sect.

Li Mochou walked over, flicking her whisk.

"You're quite capable indeed. You really managed to heal that frail Miss Lin's body?"

Shi Qingxuan was interrupted from her train of thought and looked over in annoyance.

"I have many skills. As long as she learns a set of health preservation techniques from Long'er, even if she doesn't expect to live to be a hundred, she will definitely live to be seventy or eighty."

Li Mochou pursed her lips and said, "I'll give you a compliment if you dare."

Hong Lingbo stood to the side, covering her mouth. Li Mochou turned her head and glared at her. Hong Lingbo quickly composed herself and stood up straight.

Qin Han arrived at the front of the deck, and Jiang Wuyang stepped forward and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Your Highness, everything has been loaded onto the ship, and it is ready to set sail at any time."

Qin Han nodded in agreement, turned to look at the people on the shore, and bowed to them.

"Everyone, go back now. Don't stand here in the wind."

His voice, amplified by his inner energy, reached the ears of everyone on the dock.

"Your Highness, please take good care of yourself!"

"Have a safe journey, Your Highness!"

"Will the prince ever return?!"

Many people knelt down on the spot, and some in the front row couldn't help but cry.

Qin Han felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this scene. The reason so many people wanted to give him a gift today was simply because he had publicized Lin Ruhai's deeds.

These simple, honest people thought he was a benevolent and just king.

He sighed and turned to look at Jiang Wuyang.

"Let's set sail."

A deep horn sounded from the bow, and the ship gradually moved away from the shore. Eight iron boats followed on both sides, cutting through the river and heading upstream, splashing large white waves on the surface.

Qin Han stood on the edge of the deck, watching the buildings on the shore grow smaller and smaller.

Only when the ancestral worship ceremony begins in Lin'an will this area in Jiangnan have a legitimate reason to act and truly belong to the Qin family.

In a room on the second floor of the ship.

Lin Daiyu and Xiaolongnu leaned against the window and looked at the river.

"Sister, can you tell me what Sichuan is like?"

The little dragon goddess looked blank and thought for a long time.

"I've never been there either, but I've heard Sister Qingxuan mention it a few times. She said it's a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, and it's not cold all year round."

Lin Daiyu opened her eyes.

"Can that be any better than Hangzhou?"

"You'll see for yourself when you get there; you might just like it."

Xue Baochai walked in carrying a plate of sliced ​​fruit, which included freshly picked pears and oranges.

"Sister Lin, Sister Long, I've brought some fruit over. Please try it and see how it tastes."

Lin Daiyu quickly got up, took it, and placed it on the table.

"Thank you for troubling me again, Sister Xue."

Xue Baochai smiled.

"From now on, we are all sisters, and it is only right that we take care of each other."

Little Dragon Girl didn't react much after hearing this, but Lin Daiyu blushed slightly. She took the opportunity to turn her head and glance out the window again.

Qin Han was standing on the foremost deck, gazing at the Yangtze River.

As the sun was setting, the fleet entered the waterways around Jiujiang.

Shen Luoyan caught up with the main group at this time, carrying a few pages of paper and walking behind Qin Han. The paper contained the information reported by the sentries who had just patrolled along the way.

"My lord, everything is normal outside. Our scouts have searched the waters within a fifty-mile radius."

I didn't see any fools following us. I also sent people to make arrangements at the ferry crossing ahead beforehand.

Looking at this beautiful strategist, Qin Han thought, "She's the perfect strategist; when there's work, she does it; when there's nothing, she does nothing..."

"You've been working hard lately, go back to your room and rest."

Shen Luoyan had indeed been quite tired these past two days. It was not easy to sort through so much money, grain, and pig iron. She bowed and walked downstairs.

As I passed by the middle corridor, I overheard Shi Qingxuan and Li Mochou arguing inside.

Li Mochou was holding a small medicine bottle.

"Can your medicine really shorten the time required for circulating true qi by 30%?"

Shi Qingxuan raised her chin.

"Of course! This is a special product I made using the Love Flower Poison, along with the century-old snow lotus and ginseng that Sister Baochai brought."

There are only three here. If you don't believe me, try one first. I'm not lying.

Li Mochou tucked the medicine bottle into her bosom.

"I'll take it back to my room and use it."

Shi Qingxuan snorted and pouted.

"If you're afraid I'll poison you, just say so. If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Shen Luoyan outside revealed a strange expression. Did she increase her energy circulation speed by 30%?

The women around the prince are truly all talented.
