Yun Xiao saw his master suddenly frowning and was a little worried: "Master, what's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

Qi Haoning shook his head and asked, "Did you just say that the woman was crying and helpless?"

Yun Xiao said curiously: "Yes, it's so pitiful. However, if she was not helpless, how could a weak woman follow a group of men to go fishing in the open sea, and how could she be kidnapped by pirates?"

General Haiyong also followed Yunxiao's words and said: "Isn't that right? Speaking of which, Bihe's life is not very good. She has lost her parents since she was a child and has been dependent on her grandfather. Her grandfather also died two years ago, so she relies on help.

Others wash clothes and make some female celebrities to support themselves.

She never thought that ten days ago, her uncle took an IOU of fifty taels of silver to press for debt. If he couldn't get the money, he would sell her to a landowner in his fifties as a concubine.

Bihe had a very strong temper and was about to be killed on the spot, so her uncle had no choice but to give her a month's deadline. She heard that Bihe was good at diving, so she wanted to take a risk and try her luck in the deep sea, hoping to pick up quality fish.

I exchanged the better pearls for silver, so I went to sea with my kind-hearted neighbor."

Qi Haoning suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Jing, you just said she was injured? Where was the injury?"

General Haiyong smiled and said: "It's not serious. My ankle is sprained and my left hand is fractured. When I was trying to pull you out, I fell down and my hand hit a rock."

"Oh," Qi Haoning pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Uncle Jing, for such a strong-willed woman, it may not be for her own good if we keep her, but we should help her buy a new houseboat and leave her 0 taels of silver. Let's

It would be best for her to return to a place she is familiar with. Besides, isn't there a government-run pearl workshop in Qingyuan County? Is there no problem if we let her in?"

General Haiyong thought about it, yes, this is the best arrangement. The female workers in the pearl workshop are well paid and have stable jobs. They can't get in without guarantees and connections.

Moreover, working in the pearl workshop is free and you can go home every day. It will not affect Bihe even if she gets married in the future. It is really the best "arrangement" for her.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this," General Haiyong said, "leave this matter to me, you have a good rest. Things are going smoothly on the island, and there is nothing urgent. We will talk about it after you recover from your injuries."

Qi Haoning agreed and took this time to sort out the clues and uncover the Dark Insect. Although he unexpectedly solved the Water Dragon King this time and escaped the disaster, Qi Haoning still found too many doubtful points that needed to be sorted out.

"Prince Ning, my... uh..." After finishing talking about business, General Hai Yong thought of Su Miaochan's problem and had to explain it to Qi Haoning. "If my niece has any offense, please

Please... uh... she is also a poor child, and no one has taught her well before. I will ask my wife to find a nurturing mother for her, who will also... uh

...Arrange her marriage as soon as possible."

Qi Haoning smiled helplessly: "That's fine. Uncle Jing doesn't have to feel uncomfortable because of this. I understand in my heart." Every family has troublesome relatives. What kind of position does General Haiyong's eldest sister hold in his heart? Qi Haoning is totally fine with it.

I understand. As long as Su Miaochan is not careful, everything else is easy to talk about. He just needs to avoid it.

After General Haiyong and his wife left, Qi Haoning glanced at Shadow. Shadow jumped out of the window and patrolled around. Several personal guards were guarding their positions, and then flew back quickly.

Qi Haoning asked Yun Xiao: "What happened to Mrs. Liang and Da Mao?"

Yunxiao said: "I didn't expect that old woman's skills were not so good, and she could also escape. Fortunately, Master, you were prepared and asked your two senior brothers to help. Now she is imprisoned on Guiyi Island. Da Mao did not wait for his grandmother.

Come back and ask for the prince, I will take him to ask the housekeeper to send someone out to look for him."

Shadow chuckled: "Sir, you haven't seen that Yunxiao is really the material for an opera, he looks decent."

Yunxiao punched him and said proudly: "What is singing? This is called fighting wits with Xizuo, you know? Master, you really expected me. The old lady didn't come back for two days and two nights, and the young one got confused and hid in

One outside the city

I sent a letter to an abandoned house. However, we intercepted it and changed the content. Sir, there is a secret passage in that abandoned house. Tsk, tsk, the Japanese really have two damn things. One old and one young can find it.

So many things to come.”

Shadow was disdainful: "Didn't he get caught by us anyway? If they hadn't set up a trap to intercept our so-called 'firearms manufacturing workshop drawings', the prince would have used the trick to capture the Water Dragon King."

Qi Haoning frowned: "No, looking back now, someone deliberately led me to the bandits' den that day, and they were not the same group as those two Japanese. Yunxiao, what did the people who were staring at Su Miaochan say? Did Su Miaochan see any movement in those two days?

?”

Yunxiao shook his head: "She did almost the same thing every day, and didn't notice anything unusual. Until the night you came back, she didn't know which nerve was wrong, and she dared to come into this room alone."

Qi Haoning was silent for a while: "Keep staring, explain it, don't be careless. In addition, if people keep an eye on Bihe, they must keep a close eye on her even after she returns."

Yun Xiao and the two were startled: "Why? Master, you mean that the person who led you to the gangster's den was Bi He...or her accomplice?..."

"But, since I lured you away, why should I rescue you?" Shadow thinks this is not unnecessary?

Qi Haoning glared at him: "Is the purpose of careful work just to take my life? How about sending a few more assassins?"

"Yes, yes" Shadow scratched his head and chuckled. Among the people they trained in the same batch, some were craftsmen, hidden stakes, and shadow guards. At that time, he really wanted to be a hidden stake, but it was a pity.

The people above said that his fists are better than his head, so he is most suitable as a shadow guard.

Yun Xiao was very excited. Ever since he concluded that Mrs. Liang, her son, and her grandson were Japanese craftsmen, he had become very interested in "catching ghosts." His head was full of what the prince said, "The less they look like craftsmen, the more they are craftsmen."

He looks at everyone now as a meticulous person, haha.

"But Master, how did you find out?" Yun Xiao had just finished asking, and suddenly realized, "Master, you were pretending to be unconscious at the time? What did you do that Bihe did that you saw?"

Qi Haoning grabbed a book at hand and threw it over, laughing and scolding: "You are just pretending, I was unconscious at that time, how can you pretend?"

"Oh, Master, please be gentle, don't tear your own wound," Yunxiao couldn't care less to avoid it. He was so frightened that he quickly leaned over to check the white cotton cloth tied on Qi Haoning's chest. No bloodshot oozed out.

Calm down.

Qi Haoning pouted: "It's just a minor injury, how can you be so delicate?"

Yun Xiao smiled mischievously: "Master, although the wound is not deep, it is quite long. The medicine Princess Qi gave is good, but the doctor said that if you don't take care of it, the scars left behind will be very ugly.

Master, aren’t you worried that the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber will frighten the princess?”

"..." Qi Haoning was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red, "You're talking nonsense... How can you be so exaggerated?" But I really didn't dare to move. The wound was on the chest, and Yao'er would really see it by then.

Yes, he didn't want Yao'er to see the long and ugly scar.

Seeing that the plot had succeeded, Yunxiao smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, sir, take good care of yourself and don't move around. Don't touch anything the doctor said you can't eat, and you won't leave ugly scars. Look at my last stab wound."

It was so deep, but only a shallow scar was left afterwards, right? Don't tell me, Princess Qi gave me all good things."

Speaking of this, Qi Haoning was happy: "Of course." Thinking of Shuyao's repeated warnings when parting, his heart felt soft and soft.

Shadow couldn't wait any longer: "Sir, please tell me quickly. What did Bihe do? If she was really careful, I would chop her up. Unfortunately, we still regarded her as your savior and almost didn't give her up." Shadow.

This is really not an exaggeration. I saw him that day

When Bihe dragged Qi Haoning, who was unconscious but still breathing and having a heartbeat, in front of them, they really wanted to regard her as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved people in distress. At that time, they were asked to kneel to her, and both of them knew how to do it.

Kneel down without hesitation.

Qi Haoning shook his head: "I'm not sure either. I'm just stringing together the events before and after. I feel there are too many doubts and too many coincidences. Think about it, if it hadn't been for that strange note that day, how could we have gotten to that stone house? How could we have done that?

Being besieged by a swarm of poisonous snakes? And then encountered huge waves? This is obviously someone who is very familiar with the changes in the sea and deliberately planned the situation."

Shadow thought about what happened after he protected Magistrate Li's retreat, and he understood a little bit: "They know that you are good at water and will not give up, but they will let others retreat."

Qi Haoning nodded approvingly: "That's right. Also, it was their plan that I would swim to the reefs like the small island where the bandit's den is. The waves were very big at that time, and the place where I was washed away was already far away.

It was only when I saw the red dot in the distance that I found the direction. When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a red strip of cloth hanging on the tree. When I got to the rocks, I realized that it was a bandit's den and a happy event was being held."

Yunxiao came over and said, "Even if someone deliberately plotted, why do you suspect Bihe? People in her village proved that she was indeed kidnapped by the Water Dragon King."

Qi Haoning glared at her: "I told you, there are too many coincidences. Also, I happened to catch a glimpse of her from where I hid after sneaking in. At that time, the Water Dragon King and the gang of pirates were drinking, and she was sitting next to them.

There seemed to be no fear in their eyes, only disdain and a sense of pride."

Yun Xiao quickly reacted: "That's not right. She is a weak village girl, but she still has such courage? She was still trembling when she talked about being kidnapped that day."

Qi Haoning nodded: "Think about it again, her uncle wanted to sell her to be a concubine, and she was about to be killed at that time. She was captured by the Water Dragon King to be the wife of the stronghold, and she said she couldn't escape, so couldn't she die? Just me.

When she met them, she had a barbecue knife not far away."

Seeing both Yun Xiao and Yun Xiao nodding in agreement, Qi Haoning suddenly rolled his eyes and laughed: "Of course, maybe she saw that the Water Dragon King was not old and tall and burly, and she was reluctant to die, hahaha." (
