Wei Xiaobao scratched his head, smiled helplessly, and explained: "Hehe, what I mean is, who would bring three wives and four concubines to meet the mother-in-law? Wouldn't it be obvious that you would be beaten with a rolling pin if you did that?" He muttered to himself, thinking that this behavior was really inappropriate.

Hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, Su Quan snorted angrily: "If you don't let us go, I'm thinking of not going and staying on the ship to practice the art of fire control." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving only a stubborn back.

Looking at the direction where Su Quan left, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this woman was really difficult to deal with. At this moment, Ling Zhao came over, took his hand and said delicately: "Brother Xiaobao, please take me with you, I haven't been to Huaxia yet! I heard from Sister Su that Sizhou is beautiful."

Facing Ling Zhao's request, Wei Xiaobao hesitated, but he quickly thought of an excuse, so he said shamelessly: "Sister Emperor, please pay attention to your status. If you go to China, Emperor Kangxi will have to invite you to a state banquet. If he doesn't invite me, it will be embarrassing for me. You should stay on the ship!"

"Hmph! I'm not going to pay attention to you." Ling Zhao said coquettishly, and turned and left like Su Quan.

Shuang'er was left alone, and she said with concern: "Husband, you must be careful when you go alone, especially your diet, and don't fall into the trap of the underworld." In the past, when the two of them went out, Shuang'er always arranged everything carefully. Shuang'er was worried that Wei Xiaobao would fall into the trap of others if he was careless.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Shuang'er's gentle appearance and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Shuang'er, I will be careful. And with my strength, ordinary people can't do anything to me." He patted his chest, full of confidence.

Shuang'er nodded, still with worry in her eyes. She knew that Wei Xiaobao was a martial arts expert, but the world was dangerous and people's hearts were unpredictable. She couldn't help but remind him, "Husband, you must be more careful. When you encounter danger, don't be stubborn and remember to protect yourself."

Wei Xiaobao was moved and held Shuang'er's hand, saying softly: "Shuang'er, you are so thoughtful. I feel very happy that you care about me so much." He gently kissed Shuang'er's forehead to let her feel his love.

Shuang'er blushed and lowered her head shyly. She took a package from her body, handed it to Wei Xiaobao, and said softly, "This is a gift for A Ke's mother, Aunt Chen. Take it with you."

Wei Xiaobao took the package and opened it. It was filled with various precious items and gifts. He was grateful that Shuang'er was always so thoughtful and considerate, and even thought of such details.

"Shuang'er is really thoughtful. If the son-in-law came empty-handed, the mother-in-law would definitely be unhappy." Wei Xiaobao sighed.

Shuang Er smiled and said, "This is what we should do. You can't go to visit Aunt Chen empty-handed. I hope these gifts can express our sincerity and respect."

Wei Xiaobao nodded, put the package away, then hugged Shuang'er tightly and said affectionately: "Thank you, Shuang'er. Having you is the blessing of my life."

After Wei Xiaobao let go of Shuang'er, he got off the Yangtze River, passed through Chengfang Port, found a secluded hilltop, put the package into the system space, performed "A Hundred Steps of Divine Speed", and rushed all the way towards Sizhou.

After arriving at Sizhou an hour later, Wei Xiaobao found a village and asked people about the location of Tianan Temple.

"My fellow villager, do you know where Tianan Temple is?" Wei Xiaobao asked politely.

When the villager heard about Tianan Temple, he immediately showed a look of horror on his face. He looked Wei Xiaobao up and down, and then ran away without saying a word, as if he had seen a ghost. Wei Xiaobao was confused. What was going on?

He scratched his head and decided to ask someone else. However, when he asked a few more villagers, their reactions were exactly the same! Everyone looked terrified, as if they had heard something extremely terrifying. Like frightened rabbits, they fled from this terrible topic in a panic.

Wei Xiaobao was increasingly puzzled. What secrets did Tianan Temple hold? Why were the villagers so scared? The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. He decided to find out the reason.

Then, Wei Xiaobao came to a town and sat down in a restaurant in the town.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter came over to greet him.

"Just serve two of Sizhou's specialties!" said Wei Xiaobao.

"Okay... For one guest at the seventh table downstairs, I'll give you a Longtian braised duck, a portion of blood tofu, and a pot of Sizhou green tea!" The waiter shouted out the names of the dishes to the back hall.

"Waiter, I want to ask you for a place." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Sir, please feel free to ask me anything. There is no place in Sizhou that I don't know." The waiter said proudly.

"How do I get to Tianan Temple?" Wei Xiaobao said.

When the waiter heard this, he was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand up, and hurriedly said, "Sir, please keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

The waiter looked around and when he found no one was paying attention, he leaned close to Wei Xiaobao's ear and whispered, "Tian'an Temple is Wu Sangui's bandit den. He has been arrested by the imperial court. You are not allowed to go there!"

After the waiter said this, he quickly left Wei Xiaobao as if he was avoiding the plague god, for fear of being involved in some gossip.

Wei Xiaobao was shocked. Now that Tianan Temple was exposed, something must have happened to his mother-in-law. Since he couldn't get what he wanted, he would use his spiritual sense to investigate. Perhaps he could get more information.

So, Wei Xiaobao closed his eyes slightly and quickly searched for valuable information in this small town with his spiritual sense.

In a small courtyard 700 meters away from the restaurant, Wei Xiaobao actually found two acquaintances, one was Wu Sangui's son-in-law Hu Guozhu, and the other was Wu Sangui's favorite general Ma Bao. The two were plotting.

"The young master and his mistress will be executed tomorrow. How are our manpower preparations?" Ma Bao asked.

"Our Emperor Wu Zhou went to Goryeo alone to seek foreign aid to restore his country, and has not returned yet. Prime Minister Xia said that the emperor might have died overseas, and that Wu Shifan should be made emperor. This is a top priority. Although the young master Wu Yinglin was raised by the mistress, he was born to a concubine and is not worth saving." Hu Guozhu said.

"What about the mistress? Won't you save her?" Ma Bao asked anxiously.

"The exposure of Tianan Temple is already strange. There are only five people who know that the mistress is practicing in Tianan Temple: you, me, Prime Minister Xia, the young master, and Princess A Ke." Wu Guozhu analyzed calmly.

"You mean someone informed on us? Who was that?" Ma Bao asked angrily, eyes wide open.

"It is naturally impossible for you and I to tell the secret, and it is even more impossible for the young master and A Ke to do so. So I suspect that it was Prime Minister Xia who deliberately told the secret in order to help Wu Shifan take the throne and eliminate dissidents. How could he agree to send people to rescue them now if we ask him to do so?" Wu Guozhu said solemnly.
