Ask the beauty of the original is you

Shi Kangnian said: "I have traveled across the ocean since I was a child. I have never seen such a wind. It blows from morning to night, and it only blows upwards and not downwards. It travels at a speed of three to five thousand miles per hour. Calculated, we walked for three days and nights. If the wind blows in the direction of the old road, we will return to our hometown in only two days. Now that the wind is blowing, I don’t know which direction it is. Why don’t you get off the boat and ask the island? Who is the resident of He Ge?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to disembark when he suddenly saw several men coming from the corner at the foot of the mountain like flying, and walked in front of everyone.

One of the handsome men with a crown on his head and more gorgeous clothes shouted loudly: "Masters, please be kind and save us back to the country. We encountered pirates here, and we were looted and seized the ship. We were finally released. However, if you don’t leave, you will be caught by pirates, and you won’t be able to escape.”

Shi Kangnian was taken aback when he heard the words, "What? There are pirates here? Is it true?"

The man said: "I never lied to you. Just now because the pirate's leader was not there, they only cared about the goods and ignored us and fled. But I'm afraid they will be in danger if they come to catch people later."

Mrs. Shi couldn't bear to see those people flustered, so she said: "Master, let them get on the boat and then talk slowly."

Shi Kangnian nodded and asked the sailors to pick these people up on board.

When he was about to ask more questions, Shi Yaoguang glanced sharply at the foot of the mountain and saw a few men with big knives coming towards him, and hurriedly shouted to Shi Kangnian: "Father, there are really pirates coming, order the sailors to sail."

Some sailors heard Shi Yaoguang's words and drove the boat out. When their boat sailed out of the sea, they just saw the pirates walking to the place where the boat was moored before, waving their knives indiscriminately.

Shi Kangnian, who had narrowly escaped the disaster, couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and then asked the man wearing the hat, "Who are you? How did you come to this den of thieves to be ransacked?"

The man was about to answer, when he suddenly saw Shui Jing and Liu Li standing behind, two girls with their own characteristics, standing out from the crowd, and as beautiful as a fairy, they couldn't help but stare blankly.

Although Liu Li was used to seeing people's amazed eyes since she was a child, she still couldn't get used to this man's greedy eyes, so she said, "I have to go back to my room to make clothes, so I'll take my leave first."

Shui Jing was also made a little sullen by this man's impolite gaze, and said with a pretty face, "I also want to go back to my room with my cousin, you can talk slowly." After speaking, she left with Liu Li.

Then the man withdrew his amazed gaze, gave a salute and said, "My surname is Miao and my name is Weibang. I am the heir of the Three Miao Kingdom and a diplomatic envoy. Because pirates have caused serious disasters, and in order to wipe out the pirate base, the island just now, Yuntai Island, So I went to the two countries near Yuntai Island and invited the envoys of Gouyue Kingdom and Hongqiao Kingdom to come to our country to discuss a good strategy to jointly eliminate pirates. On the way back, I wanted to shorten the distance, so I took the risk of returning directly to Yuntai Island. The Sanmiao Kingdom was still discovered by pirates, and our ship was seized. Three of my officials and I took the opportunity to escape, and it was only thanks to your help that we could not avoid this disaster. We did not thank you for your great kindness, so we had to keep it in mind. But Yuntai Island is far and near Several countries know that there have been pirates in the past few months, and the ships have always avoided the road. I don’t know why you sailed to the island, and what do you call it?”

Shi Kangnian replied: "It turns out that you are the son of the Three Miao Kingdom and an envoy. I am really disrespectful. My surname is Shi, and my name is Kangnian. These are my relatives. They are my son Yaoguang, my wife Mrs. Shi, and my cousin Liu. Madam and nephew Shui Jianqing. We were originally a merchant ship that set out from the Central Plains to do business abroad. Because of a storm, we drifted from the mermaid country to this island. We happened to meet you and rescued you. Thank you for your help. Unknown What are the plans of Miao Shizi?"

Miao Weibang replied: "I lost my boat, so I have to ask Captain Shi to give us a ride, can I go to Sanmiao Country?"

Shi Kangnian replied: "I'm about to supply food, so it's okay to go to Sanmiao Country. I don't know how far it is from here and how to get there?"

One of the courtiers on the side replied for Miao Weibang: "San Miao Kingdom is only a few hours' flight away from Yuntai Island. As long as you go west and see white, gray, and brown cities, you will be San Miao Kingdom."

Shi Kangnian nodded, and ordered the sailors to sail west instead.

Miao Weibang asked them about the origins of the two stunning beauties.

Because of his excessive gaze just now, Shi Yaoguang and Shui Jianqing wanted to be perfunctory and didn't tell each other bluntly.

But Mrs. Liu became happy after hearing his praise of her daughter's appearance, and said without defense: "They are all 17 years old. One is named Liu Li who wears a lake green dress and is my daughter, and the other is the cousin of Shipowner Shi. My son and niece wear a pink dress named Shui Jing."

Miao Weibang asked again, and knew that the two of them were not married yet, but Liu Li already had a crush on the handsome man who was the nephew of Captain Shi.Miao Weibang thought to himself: "All the people in the Central Plains are so beautiful, but Liu Li already has someone she likes, and it's not easy to please. It seems that I have no choice but to turn my target to Shui Jing."

At this time, Shi Yaoguang asked: "Why did you invite two countries to attack pirates together? Are there really so many pirates on Yuntai Island and it is difficult to deal with?"

Miao Weibang came back to his senses and said: "You foreigners don't know about this level. Yuntai Island is located in the middle of Sanmiaoge, Gouyue Kingdom and Hongqiao Kingdom. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the scenery is beautiful, so the territory has been contested by the three countries. Until 200 years ago, the emperor of the Gouyue Kingdom signed a peace treaty with the monarchs of our country and the Hongqiao Kingdom, agreeing that the interests of Yuntai Island belonged to the three countries. The residents of the three countries lived on the island on average and farmed and fished freely. The three countries jointly sent more than a dozen soldiers to the island to maintain order. A pirate killed all the soldiers stationed there, and threatened the residents of the island to work for them, providing them with fish and crops. We didn't know about this at first, because a merchant ship from a distant country accidentally sailed to the island a month ago When buying fish, the residents on the island informed the matter pretty well, and asked them to ask for help on their behalf. The merchant ship left quickly, but was lucky not to be discovered by the pirates. That's why the three of us knew about the pirates' seizure of the island. Because the pirates were sponsored by our people. As a hostage, and based on the peace treaty, the king of our country sent himself and several courtiers to Gouyue and Hongqiao as envoys, and asked his ministers to come to our country to discuss ways to destroy pirates."

Miao Weibang's words cleared up Shi Yaoguang's doubts, and when he was about to reply, Mrs. Shi happened to come over and said: "I have already prepared lunch, please don't be disgusted with Mr. Miao, let me have a full meal."

Miao Weibang said: "I am feeling unbearably hungry. How can I dislike Mrs. Duo Chengshi's hospitality and food!" As he spoke, he went to eat with several courtiers.

During the banquet, two beauties appeared, they were really "beautiful and delicious", and Mrs. Shi's cooking skills were excellent, so Miao Weibang ate very happily.

But Shui Jing, who was stared at by him frequently, had no appetite, and Shi Yaoguang who was on the side peeked at him a few times, which made Shui Jing eat without knowing what it tasted like.

Although Liu Li was also watched by Miao Weibang, because she was sitting next to Shui Jianqing and only cared about talking and eating with Shui Jianqing, she didn't feel much trouble.

After the meal, Shui Jing hurriedly took Liu Li back to the room, avoiding Miao Weibang, which made Miao Weibang feel bored.

After about three hours, I saw a wide city of white, gray, and brown indistinctly appearing in the distance covered with green moats.

Shi Kangnian then asked the sailors to sail at full speed to the place where the boat was recovered.When the nearby soldiers saw the boat coming, they stepped forward to inquire about their backgrounds. When they saw Shizi Miao and several courtiers, they immediately sent people to prepare sedan chairs, and assigned several soldiers to escort Shizi Miao and others to the palace.

So Miao Weibang bid farewell to Shi Kangnian and others, and took his ministers to the palace.

After that, Shi Kangnian also took two sailors, his son Yaoguang and his nephew Shui Jianqing to the city.They passed through a large palm grove, and saw a pair of plaques hanging on both sides of the three-color city, with big golden characters written on it, "Three talents, heaven, earth and people, seedling rice and malt".

Shuijian Qing said: "According to this couplet, it probably reflects the origin of the country's name. Could it be that rice, barley and bean sprouts are abundant here?"

Shi Kangnian said: "My nephew's words are a bit interesting, but the people of heaven and earth say that there are a lot of talents here."

Shi Yaoguang said: "Why do we need to speculate here, we will know when we enter the city."

When they arrived at the gate of the city, soldiers came to interrogate them and search them carefully before they were allowed to enter the city.

"These soldiers searched us like thieves, it's really a big deal." Shi Yaoguang said slightly dissatisfied.

Shi Kangnian said: "That's not the case. Because Yuntai Island is occupied by pirates, and they are afraid of pirates' sudden invasion, there is nothing wrong with interrogating people who come and go. Don't hang around, the boat is waiting for us to buy food and go back. You can help me transport it." Food."

Shi Yaoguang and Shui Jianqing agreed in unison: "Okay."

They bought food at the market near the city, and after returning to the boat for dinner, Shi Kangnian was about to order the sailors to sail, but he saw that the boat was blocked by local soldiers driving small boats and could not sail. Boat.So they sent sailors to inquire.Soon, the sailors came back and said, "Because we are about to send troops here to attack Yuntai Island, for fear of being overwhelmed by surprise, all ships anchored here are not allowed to set sail until the battle is over and another announcement is made."

Shi Kangnian looked hesitant when he heard this and said, "We'll stay here for a few days, I believe the war won't last long, and hope to sail soon." After saying that, he told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest early.

This night, with the bright moon shining, Jing and Zhu cast dazzling light on Shui Jing.

I dreamed of the scene before I descended to the mortal world. Although I saw that I personally promised to forgive Huo Rong'er under the enlightenment of the immortals, I still regretted that a hundred years of hard work was ruined in one day.However, when he thinks carefully of the time when Huo Rong'er became Shi Yaoguang after he descended to the mortal world, and how he got along with her from childhood to adulthood, he was a childhood sweetheart and had a good relationship.This time, he and his cousin spent a lot of effort to heal her and restore her eyesight. Shui Jing is grateful; and since Shi Yaoguang helped save her from the gangsters in the temple, she has secretly grown acquainted with Shi Yaoguang's bravery. Good impression.But now she knows how stubborn Shi Yaoguang was in her previous life, which makes her feel conflicted, so she can only avoid him with a cold face.

Just as Shui Jing was meditating, she was startled by a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Liu Li. She smiled and said, "Cousin, did you come to see me so early?"

Liu Li smiled back and said, "I saw that since I cut and embroidered one side of the tiger skin the first day, I put down the sewing work, and my vest is almost done. I'll ask you after breakfast." , would you like to come to my place to catch up on work together?"

Shui Jing replied: "Cousin, I don't want to do it, you can finish the vest for cousin by yourself."

Liu Li asked, "Why did you give up halfway? Are you still angry with Cousin Shi?"

Shui Jing asked without answering, "Cousin, do you remember what happened in your previous life?"

Liu Li nodded.

Shui Jing said: "Since this is the case, you should also know that if it wasn't for Shi Yaoguang, even if Huo Rong'er bullied you in the previous life, we wouldn't have to be demoted. How can you tell me to make a vest for him as if nothing happened?"

Liu Li persuaded: "Although he bullied me, it's because of it. He also sincerely apologized, and you promised to let the past go. And if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be with Brother Qing, even the Immortal Mirror Ball Reunion, we were lovers in the previous life.”

Shui Jing said: "In this way, cousin and cousin can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. But I am different from you. In the previous life, I resolutely followed the gods to practice Taoism because of the lack of family ties and no love concerns. So once a hundred years How can I be willing to pay for my meritorious deeds! Although I promised to forgive him, I didn’t promise to please him.”

Liu Li said: "What's the point of your cousin! Making a vest is just to pay back human favors, what do you say to please him?"

Shui Jing just shook her head slightly.

Liu Li was still waiting to persuade her, but at this time there was another knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and Mrs. Liu walked in and said, "Li'er, cousin niece, Mrs. Shi has already made breakfast, come out quickly."

Shui Jing walked out of the room first.

After breakfast, Shui Jianqing proposed to go sightseeing in Sanmiao City, and asked Liu Li, Shi Yaoguang and Shui Jing to go with them.

Liu Li and Shi Yaoguang agreed, but Shui Jing shook her head and said, "Cousin, I have to rush to make shirts, so I won't follow."

Although Liu Li knew that Shui Jing had just said she would give up making vests, and now she said that she had to rush to work, most of them were excuses, but she still thought that maybe she had changed her mind, so don't let her change her mind again, so she asked Shui Jianqing not to Reluctantly, let the water do the work.

Seeing that Shui Jing refused to go with him, Shi Yaoguang felt a little disappointed, but he had already promised that it would be inconvenient to talk back, so he had no choice but to leave the boat with the two of them and go to the city.

Shui Jing sat for a while, and was about to go back to her room, when she suddenly saw Shi Kangnian calling a charming and graceful girl onto the board, and said: "Jing'er, it's a coincidence that you are here, let me introduce you and me I know Xu Yinyin, the only daughter of Xu Yuantai's elder brother Xu Yuantai, in fact, she was here last time, but you didn't have the chance to see her then, right?"

Shui Jing nodded and saluted, the girl Xu Yinyin said in surprise, "Aren't you the blind girl from last time? When will you recover your eyesight?"

Shui Jing heard a slight change in color behind her, and said calmly: "I only recovered my eyesight after receiving treatment from my cousin a few days ago. Ms. Xu has a good memory. I don't know if you come here and you are all right?"

Seeing Shui Jing's big flexible and bright eyes, Xu Yinyin couldn't help being jealous when she saw Shui Jing's big flexible and bright eyes, and she couldn't help being jealous, so she deliberately showed off: "I'm fine, today just happens to be my birthday, I'm here to invite Brother Guang to visit me." By the way, I would like to thank him for the pearl earrings he gave me last time. Miss Shui, do you think my pair of earrings are beautiful?” After speaking, he supported the pearl earrings hanging on the earlobe with his hands.

Shui Jing felt uncomfortable when she heard that Shi Yaoguang gave gifts to other women, but she replied calmly out of politeness: "This pair of earrings suits you very well, but you came at an unlucky time, my cousin and cousin went sightseeing in the city .”

Xu Yinyin yelled: "What! Then I won't stay any longer, Uncle Shi Shi, I'm going to the city to find Brother Guang, so I'm leaving." After speaking, she hurriedly disembarked from the boat without waiting for Shi Kangnian to respond.

Shui Jing retreated into the room listlessly.

Shui Jing returned to the room, took out the vest made of tiger skin and embroidered a few stitches, then lowered it and stood still.

After Liu Li's persuasion, she felt better. Remembering that Shi Yaoguang was really kind to her, she should thank him, so she decided to give him the vest made regardless of the past.However, what Xu Yinyin said to her just now turned her mood into a bad mood, and she couldn't help thinking to herself: "Could it be that I really like Shi Yaoguang? So knowing that Shi Yaoguang is kind to other women, I will be unhappy. Don't do it now Regarding Shi Yaoguang's behavior towards her in the previous life, as far as this time is concerned, Shi Yaoguang will give gifts to Xu Yinyin, which shows that he has a good impression of her, so what should I do?" When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice on the board. With a loud voice, vaguely as if saying his own name, he curiously put away his unmade vest, turned around and went on board the boat.

As soon as he got to the deck, he saw Shizi Miao talking to Shi Yaoguang.Seeing Shui Jing, Miao Weibang smiled and said, "Miss Shui, it's good that you're here. I came to look for you just now, but Brother Shi stopped me and said that you were busy and couldn't come out. If you have anything to say, just let him know." But I refused, so I fought until I saw you."

Shui Jing asked, "What are you looking for me for?"

Miao Shizi said: "I discussed with the envoys of the other two countries this morning that we will send three large ships to Yuntai Island, pretend to buy fish from the islanders, and catch the pirates when they hear the news. This plan will be carried out tomorrow morning. I would like to invite you to have dinner at the best tavern in the city before setting off to attack as a thank you for your rescue. I mentioned it to Captain Shi just now. He agreed and went to find Brother Shui and Miss Liu in person. Come back and go with the others. When I was looking for you, Miss Shui, in the cabin, Brother Shi came back."

Shui Jing said: "It turns out that this is the matter. Since my cousin has come back, it's the same if he tells me. Don't bother Mr. Miao."

Miao Weibang said, "It's more sincere to tell you in person."

Shui Jing replied: "Miao Shizi is too polite, please wait here for a while, and when I go back, I will tell Aunt Liu Biao and Aunt Shi Biao to go with me." After speaking, she turned and returned to the cabin.

When Shui Jing finished explaining to the two wives and was about to board the boat, she suddenly heard footsteps, turned around and saw that it was Shi Yaoguang who followed and shouted, "Cousin, I have something to tell you."

Shui Jing said lightly: "What do you want to say? Say it quickly."

Shi Yaoguang paused and asked, "Did Xu Yinyin come here just now and tell you that I gave her a birthday present?"

Shui Jing said coldly: "That's right. Is that what you want to say?"

Shi Yaoguang said urgently: "No, I want to tell you that I gave Xu Yinyin a birthday present for no reason, but because she once pestered me to accompany her to go sightseeing. I was afraid that she would pester me and for Xu Shibo's sake, so I gave it She doesn't need to accompany her with gifts. Don't get me wrong."

Shui Jing heard the words and said coldly: "I don't care who you like to give as a gift, and I don't need to misunderstand anything. Besides, it's no big deal if you remember her birthday."

Shi Yaoguang knew she was upset when he heard the words, so he quickly argued: "That's not it! I remember her birthday because she told me many times before, and it's hard for me not to remember. Don't misunderstand that there is something wrong between me and her. An ordinary relationship."

Shui Jing only said coldly, "This is your business and has nothing to do with me." Then he ignored Shi Yaoguang and went on board.

Soon, everyone gathered and came to the most prosperous Fuman Tavern in the city near the Sanmiao Country Pass. The tavern was huge, with each floor tens of feet long. It was divided into four floors, the first and second floors were open to The hall for ordinary people, the clean hall on the third floor is specially designed for literati and refined scholars, and the luxurious hall on the fourth floor is reserved only for the rich and powerful.The hall is full of tables and chairs made of sandalwood, with antique furnishings and an arty atmosphere.

Miao Weibang booked a feast for them in the Chinese hall. Looking from the fourth floor, the view of the whole city is endless, which makes people feel at ease immediately.

Shui Jing deliberately didn't sit side by side with Shi Yaoguang, which gave Miao Weibang the opportunity to sit next to the beautiful woman, and he was intoxicated by the fragrance wafting from Shui Jing's body.

During the dinner, Shui Jing deliberately didn't look at Shi Yaoguang who was sitting opposite, and talked with Miao Weibang who was sitting next to him from time to time, which made Miao Weibang even more flattered; Shi Yaoguang was secretly jealous.

After a meal, everyone strolled back to the boat.Miao Weibang deliberately walked beside Shui Jing when sending everyone back to the boat, and took a gap to test and ask Shui Jing if he would like to be his lover and future imperial concubine, and take root here.Shui Jing knew that he had misunderstood his actions just now, so Zheng Yan refused his courtship, and said that he and him were just ordinary friends, and no matter what happened in the future, he would not agree to his request.

Miao Weibang, who had made a fool of himself, had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone unhappy.

"Hey! Why is Xu Shixiong leaving in such a hurry?" Mrs. Liu, who was sitting on the deck chatting with Mrs. Shi, caught a glimpse of the merchant ship on the left about to put up its tent, and remembered that Shi Kangnian had introduced her to her. They are their close friends, who have been following since Yan Yanguo met, so it is strange that they want to leave first this time.

Mrs. Shi looked sideways, and said in surprise: "Yes! Mr. Sanmiao, Gouyue and Hongqiao sent troops this morning to successfully capture some of the pirates and return to the voyage, and ordered the soldiers stationed here to take them back to the prison. The guards were a little relaxed, and when there was no need to strictly check, I brought most of the sailors into the city to do business. I'm afraid I didn't know about Xu Shixiong's departure, if I can't say goodbye to him, I don't know how unhappy I will be."

Mrs. Liu pointed with her bare hands: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. There was an order here that ships are strictly prohibited from sailing without permission during a war, unless there is another announcement. Look, last time the small boats surrounding us were changed to block Brother Xu's There is only one merchant ship left to watch over us, and it seems that Xu Shixiong and the others cannot leave for a while. When my cousin comes back, all the pirates will be captured here and let the merchant ships come and go.”

Mrs. Shi said: "My cousin is right, I will prepare lunch before my husband comes back."

Mrs. Liu said, "Let me help too."

On this side, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Liu are busy making lunch.

On the other side, Liu Li came to Shuijing's room, looked at the tiger leather vest she handed over, and said, "Cousin's handwork is good, but the corners of this bag are a little too sparsely sewn, if you're not in a hurry, I'll give it a try again." It would be better if it was resewed."

"I also know that I didn't do well, so I wanted to ask my cousin for advice, but you went out with my cousin yesterday, so I couldn't ask, so I had to sew randomly. Now when my cousin mentioned it, it really hit the point, but how should the bend be sewn tight? ?”

Liu Li taught carefully, Shui Jing listened comprehensibly, and then said: "Cousin, I understand, you can go back to your room and continue your embroidery skills!"

Liu Li nodded, and was about to reply when she accidentally saw an amethyst missing from the window sill, so she asked, "Cousin, where did that amethyst go?"

Shui Jing replied: "My cousin came to see me this morning, so I asked him to take it back and return it to my cousin."

"I see. Then I'll go back to my room. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to me." Liu Li retreated to her room after speaking.

Before Liu Li stepped out of the room, she suddenly saw two strange men passing by in a hurry, seeing that they didn't look like the sailors hired by Shi Kangnian, because of their strange behavior, Liu Li couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: " People in front, please stop, who are you? Why did you come to this ship? Where do you want to go now?"

When the two men asked, Huo Di winked at each other, then strode forward with a ferocious face, and grabbed Liu Li. Liu Li couldn't help screaming when she was caught, but the man covered her mouth with his hand.

At this time, Shui Jing, who was about to sew the bag in the room, vaguely heard a call from the door, so she opened the door strangely and took a look. Seeing two men catching Liu Li, she rushed forward without thinking. Rescue Liu Li and shout for help.However, before the water calmed down, the two men had already caught a glimpse of her, and they grabbed her with their backhands one by one and stopped her from shouting.

Although Liu Li and Shui Jing struggled desperately, they were no match for the strength of the two men, and they dragged them behind the boat, threatening to jump to an official boat near the boat.

The soldiers on the official boat suddenly saw several people appearing, and immediately started to attack, but they were beaten by one of the men and fell on their backs, and then tied up with ropes.

Another man also tied up Liu Li and Shui Jing and gagged her mouth with a cloth before driving the official boat towards Yuntai Island.

It wasn't until the small boat went far away that it sailed back from Xu Yuantai's merchant ship to Shi Kangnian's merchant ship, only to find that the guarded small boat was missing.The commander of one of the small boats hurriedly went ashore and returned to the city to report the matter to the prince.

Miao Weibang raised his eyebrows when he received the news, and asked his subordinate General Lu, "How do you think this happened? That soldier is your subordinate? Did you act according to your order?"

General Lu said: "Please investigate this matter at the end of the day, and then inform His Royal Highness."

Miao Weibang waved his hand and said, "Then you step back. Brother Hong Shi and Brother Yue Shi and I will first discuss the arrangements to capture the pirate leader."

General Lu led the order to retreat.

The son of Gouyue Kingdom, Yuegui, said peacefully: "This time, the strategy of pretending to be a merchant ship to buy fish and taking the opportunity to catch the pirates was very successful. We also sent someone to ask them about the location of the pirate leader and others. It is reasonable to take advantage of them not paying attention. And take advantage of the victory to attack their territory, what do you think?"

Hongqiao Prince Hong Bi said: "Although they can directly attack their territory, according to the description of the captured pirates, the territory is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a secret road behind to escape to another place by the sea, and they still have Our citizens are hostages and it is not advisable to act hastily."

Yue Guihe replied: "Although they have our nationals as hostages, we don't need to be wary. We also have some of their pirates in our hands. As long as we send soldiers to surround their territory carefully and don't disturb them, they will naturally not be able to do so. Our citizens are hostages."

Miao Weibang said: "What Brother Yue said is not unreasonable, but if we want to capture the pirates, we can consider their escape route and add soldiers to guard the exit of their secret passage, what do you think is good? I don't know. Who will be responsible?"

While they were discussing endlessly, General Lu hurried back and said, "Your Highness, something is wrong. It turns out that two of the pirates we captured just now escaped halfway, and it is estimated that they boarded the official boat that left without authorization." , on the way back to Yuntai Island.”

When Miao Weibang saw the expressions of shock and anger on the faces of the princes of the two countries, he first blamed him: "General Lu! How could such a thing happen? Didn't you just hand over all the pirates to the guards guarding the pass and put them in prison? How could anyone slip through the net? Fish? How do you explain this!」

General Lu said, "I don't know why this happened. It is reported that the two fugitives were captured by His Royal Highness and handed over to the guards—"

Miao Weibang scolded before he finished speaking: "Bold! Don't you mean that you let him go?"

General Lu hurriedly said: "No. The general dare not! The general thinks that the guards may have been careless for a while, and the pirates caught by His Highness were not cleared before they escaped."

Only then did Miao Weibang sullenly say, "Then what should we do now? Should we send more people to quickly recover the escaped pirates?"

General Lu was about to answer, when Hong Bi next to him interjected: "We sent people to chase them now, the pirates have fled far away, if the speed of the small boat they are riding is not fast, we will immediately send the army to take the big boat to Yuntai Island. It is unknown if we can attack directly when we can defend firmly, or we can capture their territory, and we will win a complete victory.”

Yue Guihe also said: "Since the news has been leaked, it is no longer possible to act in secret as originally discussed. In this way, it is not impossible to attack directly and use the quick to beat the slow."

Miao Weibang said: "Since the two princes also said the same, we will send troops to set off as soon as possible according to the order. General Lu, you have to prepare three large ships within a quarter of an hour."

General Lu replied: "The final general obeys orders."

In the hall on the second floor of Fuman Tavern, Shui Jianqing watched Shi Yaoguang drink three glasses of spirits in one breath, shook his head secretly, and when he saw that he was about to drink a fourth cup, he quickly stopped him and said: "Cousin, even cousin You don't have to be so sad because you are angry with you because you remember the things in your previous life, and you don't have to drink too much alcohol. You must know that "alcohol makes you sad when you are sad"; and it is not good for your body. You should eat some side dishes, don't drink it empty gone."

Seeing being blocked, Shi Yaoguang took out the amethyst stone from his bosom and said: "Cousin, I went to my cousin this morning and wanted to apologize to her. How did she stop me with a word and asked me to take this amethyst away?" I will return the stone to you."

Shui Jian Qing said: "Speaking of which, you bought this amethyst stone from my cousin, and we share the same room, so you don't need to return it to me, just put it at your place. What did my cousin say?"

Shi Yaoguang replied: "She said that she had promised to forgive me long ago, so she didn't want to mention the past. She also said that she would make a tiger skin vest for me, as a thank you for her hard work in curing her eye diseases. As for the future, I'd better be a Ordinary relatives, don’t communicate with each other if it’s not important.”

Shui Jianqing said: "Since she is willing to forgive you for the mistakes you made in the past, isn't that great? What else are you worried about?"

Shi Yaoguang said distressedly: "She said that it's not important not to interact with each other. This is a far cry from the time when I used to meet and play together. Seeing her increasingly indifferent attitude towards me after Xu Yinyin's incident is enough to make me sad."

Shui Jianqing suddenly realized: "No wonder the last time Xu Yinyin's birthday came, I asked you to celebrate it for her. When you heard her tell your cousin that you gave her a birthday present, her complexion changed instantly. Not only did you reject her appointment, I also said a few words to her, and then hurried back to the boat without looking back. It turns out that you were afraid that your cousin would mind. Could it be that you-"

Shi Yaoguang blushed and said, "That's right, I fell in love with my cousin, it's not surprising."

Shui Jian smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing strange. In the end, you are both childhood sweethearts, and it's normal to have feelings. I just don't know what my cousin is thinking now. My cousin's personality is strong on the inside and soft on the outside. Her tone seems quite Wanxi can't practice immortality, I'm afraid she will change her past feelings towards you after this incident."

Shi Yaoguang was very depressed when he heard the words, and when he was about to drink again, he suddenly saw a familiar sailor walking in front of them angrily.

When the sailor saw the two of them, he shouted: "Master, Master Biao, the two young ladies were captured by pirates and taken to Yuntai Island."

Shi Yaoguang asked anxiously, "How could such a disaster happen?"

The sailor said: "Because the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms successfully captured some pirates on Yuntai Island, they detained them and transported them back to the Three Miao Kingdom for trial. How did they escape when they were handed over to the guards in the city? It turned out that these two people were hiding on our ship. And when we were not paying attention, we caught the two cousins, and then jumped to the official boat that was in isolation, forcing the officers and soldiers to sail back to Yuntai Island. After sailing away, I only found out when I sent people ashore to investigate, and I only found out about it by overhearing their conversation. As soon as the mistress found out that the cousins ​​were missing, she sent me to bring you and the captain back to the ship to discuss where to find them.”

Shi Yaoguang anxiously said: "Cousin, let's check out and go back to the boat."

Shui Jianqing also hastily agreed.

When they returned to the boat, they saw Mrs. Liu bursting into tears, and Mrs. Shi persuading her with a frowning expression.When they saw the two returning to the boat, Mrs. Shi first said: "Baby, nephew, Li'er and Jing'er suddenly disappeared without a trace, you? Let the sailors search around together."

Shi Yaoguang told the sailors what he had just heard, and Madam Liu wept after hearing the news: "Poor child, you were caught by pirates, it's all my mother's fault that she didn't pay attention to your safety."

Mrs. Shi also said: "What should I do? Jing'er's eye disease was finally cured, but this time she was caught by pirates, teach me how to explain to Master Water Meter!"

Shui Jianqing was about to speak, when Shi Kangnian returned to the ship, asked the governor why, and said resolutely: "I heard that the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms captured some pirates very successfully last time. The chief will probably set off today when they are captured and ready. Why don’t I beg them to let our ship follow, and when they defeat the pirate leader, we can rescue Li’er and Jing’er as soon as possible.”

Shui Jianqing also echoed: "My nephew is about to propose this matter. In case the coalition forces fail to capture the pirates immediately, we can take advantage of their scuffle to find the cousin and cousin."

The other three people also had no objection, just as the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were boarding the ship, Shi Kangnian, Shi Yaoguang and Shui Jianqing went to their ship to ask Miao Weibang and others.

Gouyue King Yue Gui and Hongqiao King Hong Bi shook their heads and refused at the same time: "War is not a joke, how can we let ordinary ships follow our military ships, if the impact is dragged down, it is not feasible!"

Shi Kangnian said: "Please allow us to follow. I can promise you as the captain of the ship. Without your oral order, we will not go ashore. We will not go ashore until you defeat the pirates or give orders."

Miao Weibang said with a distressed face: "Brother Yue Shi, Brother Hong Shi, Uncle Shi has saved my life. Since he has made a promise, he begged hard, and their captured relatives are also involved. We also It’s not good to be unkind, so let them accompany you.”

Yue Guihe first softened his heart and said: "Since this is what we say, let's make a favor and let Brother Miao Shi return the favor."

Hong Bi also nodded in agreement.

Thanks to Shi Kangnian, he returned to the boat with Shi Yaoguang and Shui Jianqing and set off.

During the voyage, Shi Yaoguang worriedly said to the water supervisor: "Father promised them that they would not dock the boat casually after they went to Yuntai Island. I am not afraid of anything else, only that the two sides will fight. If the pirates see that the situation is not good, they will wait for my cousin The captives threatened to force the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms to retreat. If the Allied Forces refused to agree, they would hurt the captives in order to kill a hundred police officers. Then the cousins ​​would die, and we could do nothing about it. Cousin, what should we do? ?”

Shui Jianqing replied: "My cousin's concerns are not unreasonable, but the actions of the war depend on them, so we have no choice but to wait." After a pause, he suddenly reached out and groped around his waist, and said: "Why is this a disaster from heaven? No warning! It is probably similar to the last time the lake was built, and the tips I carry may have some enlightenment.”

Shi Yaoguang said: "That's right! The last time I relied on it to remind me that I was able to save my father from prison. Let's see what we can say this time."
