Early in the morning, the Yulin Army on the sixth floor of the bottom of the ship routinely changed guards, and when the four Yulin Army who took over the shift opened the cell, they saw the broken talisman chain in the cell, and the room was empty.

"It's not good, the imprisoned river demon water ghost has escaped, quickly send someone to inspect and inform the adults!" someone among the first four people already shouted.

A total of eight Yulin soldiers in the two classes were shocked, and the four people who guarded here at night were even more earthy, which was really a disaster!

Soon, Lord Lu, the squire of the Yulin Army of the Ministry of War, and several officials of the Xing Department all arrived at the scene.

Several adults carefully investigated, and found that the rune chain was broken into several pieces, and the river demon had escaped last night. Fortunately, I didn't hear anything wrong with the ship last night, but now the most important thing is to find the whereabouts of the river demon.

Then the adults carefully interrogated a few Yulin sergeants, but these eight people only knew that the river demon was no longer there when they opened the door in the morning, and the four people who were here last night did not notice any movement at all.

The matter was reported to the emperor, and four people were fined a month's worth of money and 20 military sticks, and the criminal department and the military department were ordered to keep quiet, and then strictly inspect the warships outside and inside.

In fact, there is no need to check at all, there is a martial arts master on the ship, Taibao Qianzhengyuan is masculine and bloody, and the great Confucian king Chaoyang has a strong chest and a heroic qi, and they can sense whether there is a yin soul qi on the ship between breaths.

For the escape of the river demon, no one knew that it was Qiantai's actions, only Lu Cheng, the squire of the military department, vaguely suspected that it seemed to have something to do with Qiantai's desire to take a look at the river demon last night, but Qiantai had no reason to let the river demon go at all.

In the largest courtyard on the first floor of the dragon boat, the emperor was discussing in the room alone with Li Tongzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Li Tongzhi's daughter is the emperor's ** concubine, and her granddaughter is also favored by the emperor. The important thing is that Li Tongzhi is not a person from a family, has no background, and has deep trust from the emperor.

"Tongzhi, several officials of the Criminal Department said that according to the confessions of those Yulin soldiers, Lu Cheng and Qiantai had both gone to see the river demon that night, and after leaving, there was no screaming of the river demon in the prison. What do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, last night the squire Lu Cheng and the nineteenth prince had seen the river demon, but the four Yulin Army sergeants were afraid of the identity of Lu Cheng and the nineteenth prince, so they didn't reveal it. Li Tong first agreed with the performance of the Criminal Department, but he came to another conclusion: "But as we all know, Lu Cheng and His Royal Highness the Prince had no contact with each other before, so the river demon that the two of them saw together was the most unlikely person to let go of the river demon, because no one would ever do something illegal in front of a stranger." He also said: "Moreover, the river demon attacked the ship and was repelled by the squire Lu Cheng, and the prince was young and had been staying in the imperial city before, so naturally there was no reason to let go of this water ghost." “

The dragon boat slowly passed through the search for a day, but in the end it was fruitless. Many princes and ministers also knew about the river demon's escape. By the evening, the dragon boat had sailed to the west of Yuzhou. The dragon boat began to slow down its journey, and it was expected that one day, it would be able to reach the confluence of the Tongtian River and the Stygian River to change course.

The next day, the dragon boat had already relaxed, but in fact, it was still under secret martial law inside, in case the escaped river demon returned to life.

After breakfast, Lord Lu went down from the first floor to the second floor of the dragon boat to visit Qiantai. and talked to Qiantai about the river demon's escape. Lu Cheng observed Qiantai's appearance from beginning to end, Qiantai pretended not to know, and Lu Cheng didn't see anything.

At noon, several officials from the Criminal Department came here and asked Qiantai to go to the office of the Criminal Department on the third floor to inquire about the details of last night.

Of course Qiantai was unwilling, this tour was on behalf of the royal patrol. Before this arrived in Yuzhou, he advanced to the Criminal Department, which is not despised. If there is any more rumors and rumors, and you fall into the turmoil of this river demon's escape, then everything will be passive in this trip in the future.

"Your Highness! The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and I ask Your Highness not to mistake yourself! Your Majesty is investigating this matter with the Criminal Department, and Your Highness has the responsibility to cooperate with our inquiry. There was an argument between the two sides, and one of the officials threatened:

When Qiantai heard this, he said angrily: "Bold, I ask you what method I have punished! How can I allow you to wait for disobedient words!" These officials of the Criminal Department really see that there is no one behind them, and they do not look at themselves in their eyes because they are weak and weak.

"You, in that case, Your Highness is good at doing it yourself, and we will tell Your Majesty the truth. Several officials saw that Qiantai was not obedient, so they wanted to brush up their sleeves and leave.

"Slow!" At this time, there was a sudden sound outside the door of the attic, and Li Tongzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in. Several officials of the Criminal Department hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Li!"

Li Tongzhi's old face was kind and asked, "Lord Zheng, Lord Qiu, I don't know when you came here, but you also came to visit Prince Qiantai?"

"Why did your Excellency say this, Lord Li also came to ask His Highness about the prison last night?" "Lord Li also came to ask His Highness?"

"I did come because of what happened last night, but because Your Majesty heard that Prince Qiantai had seen the river demon last night, and he was worried about His Highness's safety, so he asked the old minister to come and see if His Highness was okay or uncomfortable. ”

When several people saw this, they all saw that Li Tongzhi was saying that he wanted to protect His Highness Qiantai of the Nineteenth Highness, and several people looked at each other and turned around to say goodbye one after another.

After a few people left, Qiantai was also very grateful. After welcoming people to the accommodation, the two had a conversation. Before leaving, Li Tongzhi warned Qiantai not to be contaminated with the evil way, which is something that the world fears and abhors.

Li Tongzhi left, Qiantai looked at this old man, Concubine Zhen's father, not from a family, but he can achieve today's achievements, but he is also a great talent, but unfortunately it is too late at dusk, if he is born a few decades later, I am afraid that he will also be a famous minister in the troubled times.

In the evening, no one came to inquire about Qiantai, and Qiantai finally got rid of the whirlpool of the river demon, walked to the bow of the boat alone, abandoned the surrounding patrol Yulin Army sergeants, and stood at the dragon's head far away towards the Yin Mountain hundreds of miles northwest of the riverbank!

The water ghost is turning into a clear stream and drifting with the waves, and overnight, in a coma, he instinctively returns to his old nest Xiaoyin Mountain Stream.

Qiantai lay on the railing of the deck, and the river below the dragon boat was turbulent. Qiantai seemed to be looking at the scenery on the riverbank, but in fact, his eyes seemed to have crossed thousands of distances, passing through the red dust, staring at the water ghost who had returned to Xiaoyin Mountain overnight, and watching the changes in the water ghost.

At this time, the water ghost fell into a coma, and his body was like a stream of water mixed in the river, and when Qiantai looked in this direction, the river ghost suddenly woke up.

The water ghost sat up from the river, a hint of majesty and clarity flashed in his eyes, and said, "From now on, I am the second primordial god Yin Si Yandu!"

The water ghost stood up against the water treading waves, the waves on his body flickered, and soon a black puffy robe shrouded in the outside of his body, and a faint divine power was scattered around, completely devoid of the filthy aura on the water ghost's body before. This water ghost has been taken away by Qiantai since the prison of the dragon boat, and the 'godhead' of the main god of the soul in the previous life was connected into the second element of the divine bead to possess the body of the water ghost, and escaped from the prison with a little divine power of the remnant jade in the godhead.

Yinshan Creek is a tributary of the Tongtian River, near Feicheng, a small town in the northwest of Yanzhou, where villages are located on both sides of the stream, with wild fruit groves and farmland, far from the capital city.

Looking at the progress of his own ghost and god clone far away in Xiaoyin Mountain, the deity Qiantai suddenly felt that there was a danger approaching behind him. "What is Your Highness looking at?" At this time, a sudden sound came from behind, and Qiantai quickly looked back, Li Daoyuan, who was standing on the deck, who had a conflict between the two people.

"It's you, Li Daoyuan. Qiantai said coldly, the first time the two met, they were bows and swordsmen, and Qiantai didn't believe that this person was a good person to him.

"Li Daoyuan has seen His Highness. Li Daoyuan bowed his hand gracefully, but his eyes looked up and carefully at Qiantai, a small child.

Qiantai didn't say anything for a long time, squinting at the handsome boy in front of him, but he didn't know why this person wanted to have an evil heart towards himself just now. Qiantai said tentatively: "You...... Just ....... wanted to push me down the river?......"

Li Daoyuan, who was hooking his head, was shocked when he was said to be in the center, and said, "Your Highness misunderstood...... Qiantai didn't believe this, and suddenly with a sound of "Disease~!", Li Daoyuan suddenly shot out a yellow charm and fixed it on Qiantai.

"Since you guessed it, let me go down! It's the demon king of the mixed world, Gongsun Ba, who wants your life!" Li Daoyuan said with a flat face, grabbing the chest of the immobilized Qiantai with both hands, and wanted to throw it into the river.

At the moment of crisis, the 'Imperial Dragon Qi' conceived in the Qiantai Dantian rushed out of the dantian, and the dragon qi rushed above the head, and the rune paper was directly shaken off and burned into ashes.

Qiantai grabbed the hands handed by Li Daoyuan, "It's impossible~!touch~!'

Qiantai clasped his wrist behind his back, and the huge strength of his body, which he usually exercised to nourish qi, was transported out, and he directly took Li Daoyuan's body and threw it towards the river behind him.

Wow!~, when he fell into the water, Li Daoyuan was careless, but he was thrown out by the young Qiantai and fell into the water.

"Someone, there are assassins here~!" As soon as Qiantai was out of danger, he immediately shouted loudly, attracting nearby guards. "Your Highness~!Where is the assassin?" "The assassin is that Li Daoyuan, I have thrown him into the river, quickly send someone to salvage and catch this person!" Qiantai shouted that it was Li Daoyuan's assassination, and these soldiers rushed to the side of the boat to look down, and what was floating on the river was Li Daoyuan's clothes decoration.

But just as the soldiers were about to go down to the river to salvage, the clothes in the water suddenly turned away. At this time, Li Daoyuan, who was dressed in white, walked out of the cabin instead, which made everyone stunned.

The 'another' Li Daoyuan walked out of the cabin and said: "It's not good, it must be the river demon, who stole my clothes last night, and I also saw a black-veined token on him, which is the token of the black mountain in Youzhou." ”

Li Daoyuan asked again in a caring and upright tone, "Your Highness, what did that person say about the assassination?"

The man didn't say anything, but when he suddenly made a move, I accidentally grabbed my hands behind my back and threw them into the river. Qiantai saw that there would be no more results, so he followed Li Daoyuan's words and concealed the facts. Qiantai didn't say anything, and the last thing the 'assassin' said was that Gongsun Ba of Youzhou wanted to assassinate him.

Qiantai's eyes could see the direction of people's luck, and the person who had just murdered him was Li Daoyuan. This encounter had to make Qiantai curious about Gongsun Ba in Youzhou, and why did this Li Daoyuan murder himself and blame this person?
