It seems that my uncle is still better.

Thinking of this, Abao became more and more proud.

The morning light shone through the porthole and fell on the crowded porch of the ship's kitchen.

And in this eerie silence.

Pei Guichen slowly gathered his left sleeve and explained to A Bao: "Maybe it was accidentally contaminated when I was trying to stop the assassin just now."

Xuanyuan Fengran’s dark eyes grew colder.

A provocative smile flashed across Pei Guichen's eyes, and he turned to look at the other end of the kitchen corridor.

And when A Bao followed Pei Guichen's gaze, it turned out to be Yu Liao.

There was also a thin and frail young man who was detained and tied up.

Blood dripped from the fingertips of the boy's left hand, leaving a bright red trail in the cabin corridor.

While A Bao was stunned, Yu Luo was already standing in front of her.

Pei Guichen's voice was as cold as ice: "He is an assassin sent by the pirates."

"Just these little arms and legs?" A Bao asked in surprise.

Less than ten hours ago, the young man was being beaten by Fatty Xiaoba.

Why was he suddenly captured as a criminal by Yu Luo at this moment?

She was just in disbelief when Pei Guichen signaled Yu Luo to continue.

Yu Luo received the order and presented the poison powder he found on the boy to A Bao.

"Your Highness, this poison has been tested on live fish. It is colorless and tasteless, and will kill anyone who comes into contact with it. I just saw him trying to throw this poison into our water tank."

After Yu Luo finished speaking, he presented a golden knife to A Bao.

Po could tell at a glance that the golden knife with three red coral beads belonged to the pirate elder.

After all, the style is unique, the knife patterns are strange, and the red coral beads are extremely valuable.

This young man is only eleven or twelve years old. Where did he get the red bead and golden knife?

A Bao became more and more confused, and this time it was Pei Guichen who explained.

"When he was captured just now, he was carrying this red beaded golden knife."

Hearing this, A Bao secretly looked at Pei Guichen.

She knew that the young man in white robe was Pei Guichen, the mastermind behind the whole incident.

So, what about the teenager?

As Po approached the boy thoughtfully, he suddenly remembered that he had been repeatedly assassinated recently.

She silently remembered that life was important, returned to her original position, and tightly grasped the sleeve of her uncle.

"What's your name?" asked Po.

But the boy stared at her with stubborn eyes, full of hatred, anger, and despair.

In the silence, she had no choice but to muster up her patience and ask again.

"Why are you admitting that you want to kill me?"

Not only the boy, but also the three men in the kitchen corridor of the ship understood what Abao said.

If it was really done by pirates, it would be more advantageous to deny it.

In this way, the death penalty for assassinating the Princess of the Eastern Palace will be borne by Prince Xuan's Mansion. Once the old emperor of Taiji Palace punishes the crime, the most powerful Chuyue Navy of Daqi will lose its chief commander, Prince Xuan. From then on, the pirates will be completely unscrupulous and do whatever they want.

So why admit it?

A Bao was puzzled, but the boy suddenly used the ancient Chuyue language.

Abao didn't understand what was said, so Pei Guichen took the initiative to translate it.

According to Pei Guichen, the boy had been bullied and humiliated by the fat boy Xuan Changba in the Prince of Pingyue's Palace. So, when the biological father of the second-in-command of the pirates came and said that the pirate leader wanted to avenge his son, the boy took the initiative to take on the job of assassinating the princess to please his biological father in order to escape the miserable days in the Prince of Pingyue's Palace.

The key to the top of the Ink Bone Pagoda, which was kept in the Palace of Prince Xuan of Pingyue, was stolen by the young man.

It was also the young man who ambushed on the top of the Ink Bone Tower and shot the arrow at the Black Iron Coffin.

However, Xuanyuan Fengran rescued Abao.

Therefore, the boy who failed to kill Princess Daqi decided to use his excellent swimming ability to swim aboard the ship and poison the water tank of the ship. If all went well, the boy should have escaped from Yuezhou and reunited with his pirate father with the red beads and golden knife.

This confession does make sense.

But this was the first time that Abao encountered such a cooperative poisoner.

Afraid that she might not understand, he answered in such detail, which was very cooperative.

It's like the answer was prepared in advance.

A Bao was full of doubts and really couldn't figure out the boy's character.

Just lock the boy up in the prison cell of the ship.

As soon as Yu Luo took the order and took the young man away, A Bao saw Zhao Chuan Ce running towards him.

She was about to be embraced by him.

But when he was one step away from her, Zhao Chuance was caught off guard and was lifted up by Xuanyuan Fengran's collar. He flapped his hands pitifully like a little tiger cub.

"Princess Po, are you okay?"

Zhao Chuan Ce spoke his mind, almost crying: "I'm so worried about you!"

A Bao's eyes curved slightly as he helped Zhao Chuance escape from Xuanyuan Fengran's hands.

"I have Uncle Feng Ran as my life-saving talisman! I will definitely be safe and sound!" A Bao's smile deepened, and he said again without hesitation: "Thanks to my uncle!"

After saying that, Xuanyuan Fengran, who had a grim look on his face, was smoothed over by Abao.

And Zhao Chuan Ce nodded frantically, agreeing: "King Feng Ran is indeed very powerful!"

When he rushed to the coast after hearing the news, he actually witnessed the battle on the navy with his own eyes. His admiration for Xuanyuan Fengran was as surging as the waves in the ocean.

That is why the youthful Zhao Chuan Ce did not hide his disappointment with Xuan Chang Du: "On the day when we watched the play in Yuanlou, Xuan Chang Du clearly said that he would investigate it carefully! Didn't he find any signs of assassination by the pirates?!"

At the end, Zhao Chuan Ce made a precise conclusion: "The Prince of Pingyue's Palace is such a waste!"

In the kitchen corridor of the ship, everyone had different thoughts for a moment.

Even Zhao Chuance understood that the Palace of Prince Xuan of Pingyue controlled the most powerful Chuyue navy in Daqi, with strong soldiers and ships, and was always monitoring and intimidating the pirates.

It doesn't make sense. Prince Xuan of Pingyue didn't receive any news about it beforehand.

Pei Guichen's eyes were as sharp as blades as he stared at A Bao.

A Bao sneered in his heart, but appeared calm on the surface.

Xuanyuan Fengran's face was as gloomy as water, and he exchanged glances with Xiao Yunzheng who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Xiao Yunzheng's eyes were stern as he stroked the handle of the wheelchair.
