Back on my wedding night, my husband sent me to the nine-thousand-year-old bed

"In the town next to Donghai City."

"Go to Donghai City!"

Yan Ci pursed his lips tightly.

The king of Xiliang is indeed an old fox!

They were chasing them all the way from Dazhou to Xiliang, but who would have thought that they didn't leave on land at all.

There is no waterway from the water transport fortress.

They took a long detour!

Yan Ci led people to rush to Donghai City overnight. At the same time, he also sent a message to Licang, asking him not to attack Xiliang for the time being.

It’s not that they gave up attacking Xiliang.

Instead, the banquet speech had been sent to his uncle Mu Guangyu in the capital, asking him to lead troops to join Licang.

Since Xiliang is restless, let's defeat them completely.

No need to wait for the previous method of boiling the frog in warm water.

Continuous fighting is indeed a waste of people and money.

But for someone as restless as Xiliang, there is no need to drag it on.

When he thought that the other party dared to kidnap Huan Huan, Yan Ci wanted to tear off the head of the Xiliang King in a matter of seconds!

No, the most important thing now is to find Huanwen first.

After galloping for three days and three nights, Yan Ci led the people to Donghai City and arrived at the ship where the clues had been found.

Yan Ci stretched out his hand, touched the black ash, and carefully looked at the large and small holes next to him that were poked by sharp weapons.

The hole is getting smaller and smaller.

Yan Ci's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The whole person was visibly excited.

Tianji was beside him, looking confused. He said doubtfully: "Your Majesty, is this a very important clue?"

"The holes are getting smaller and smaller, which proves that the sharp tools that have been ground and baked are getting sharper and sharper."

That thing is a needle!

And what Huanwan is best at using is needles!

Why didn't Lin Wanyi carve other handwritings on those ships as clues?

It's not like she hasn't done it before.

It’s just that Xu Zhao, a native of Xiliang, is very cautious. Whether he changes carriages or boats in the middle, he will destroy them directly without leaving any trace.

Even the Gu insects found from Sai Lanxi were burned to death, so she was worried that they would be found.

This is why Yan Ci and the others didn't find any clues at the beginning.

Xu Zhao had no time to burn the last ship before leaving, but he also inspected it carefully.

There is no place or words engraved on it.

As for the several holes in the wooden board, they were very inconspicuous. As Tianji said before, traces of this level have been seen in many places. He was not even sure whether Lin Wanyi and the others made this thing. .

But he missed one thing.

That is, there were no traces before, but suddenly a little trace was left. Even if it was just an ordinary trace, it still made people able to follow the clues.

Find the truth.

Yan Ci immediately said in a cold voice: "Go and find out when this ship arrived here, and where did the people on the ship go?"

"Yes."

Tianquan was very efficient and found out immediately.

This ship came here five days ago. The people on board changed to a larger ship, selected some experienced sailors, and went to sea.

With a click, Yan Ci broke the tea bowl in his hand into pieces.

Go to sea!

The people of Xiliang are really cunning. They really want to make a big circle and then bring the person back to Xiliang!

Tianquan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, those people definitely did not take the coastal route to avoid the official ships. But other routes may encounter sea pirates."

Yanci stood up and said, "Go prepare the ship and go to sea!"

Before, there was just a clue and no direction at all. Now that we have a clue, what are we waiting for?

Not only did they have to go to sea to search, the banquet also ordered people to immediately send people to all the city strongholds along the coast.

Once they land, stop them immediately!

For the first three days, the sea was calm and nothing happened.

White seabirds follow huge wooden boats.

But on the fourth day, the sky began to turn dark, and the gentle sea seemed to be irritated by something, and gradually changed its mood.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "A body was found!"

Tianji, who was standing on the deck, suddenly became nervous. He was about to go over to see who the body was, but found that Qifeng beside him was running faster!

This kid is obviously not as good as him in Qinggong!

Qifeng ran over and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the body was a man.

The experienced sailor who followed here recognized him immediately, "This is Zhang San, the sailor who went to sea with that group of people a few days ago. He, how did he die?"

This Zhang San had stab wounds on his body.

In other words, that ship was very likely to encounter pirates!

Yanci walked out and looked at the corpse, his face was calm, but there was a lot of worry in his eyes.

He said decisively: "From which direction did the body float over?"

"Your Majesty, it's the southeast."

"Drive that way!"

"But...an experienced sailor just said that a storm is about to start on the sea, and the storm over there will be stronger!"

Storms at sea are no joke.

If you are not careful, your entire army will be wiped out.

But after seeing the murderous banquet speech, everyone shut their mouths.

I hope the Queen is fine, otherwise, Your Majesty may become even more terrifying than this raging storm!

**

The dark clouds in the sky were so dark that they seemed to be touching the sea.

Several wooden barrels floated to the beach, swaying with the water waves.

These wooden barrels were previously placed on the ship to store vegetables, fruits, grains, etc. Later, after a fight broke out on the ship, they swayed from side to side, and the barrels rolled out.

After a while, big raindrops hit the barrel, making a very crisp sound.

With a click, the top of the barrel was pushed open, and a very embarrassed Lin Wanyi climbed out of it.

Fortunately, the water here is very shallow, only reaching her knees.

Lin Wanyi washed her face with slightly cool sea water to wake herself up quickly, and shouted around.

"Selansi? Where are you?"

The situation was very urgent at that time, and it was difficult to find the wooden boat.

Moreover, the target would be larger and easily discovered by pirates.

Fortunately, there were many wooden barrels placed at the stern of the ship, many of which were empty.

At that time, Sai Lanxi first hid Lin Wanyi in the barrel, closed the lid, and pushed the barrel into the sea.

In Sai Lanxi's words, she knew martial arts and was stronger than Lin Wanyi. Although she was poisoned, Lin Wanyi used a needle to relieve some of her blood, so she was still stronger at this time.

So she let Lin Wanyi enter the barrel first.

The original arrangement between the two was that Selancy pushed all the other barrels into the water to confuse the audience, and then she jumped down and hid in one of the barrels at random.

Lin Wanyi's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Sailansi was discovered by the pirates before she could get into the barrel? !
