Su Qin nodded, "This thing is effective for a hundred years. It's good for us ordinary people to live for a hundred years, so it's equivalent to being frozen for the rest of our lives."

"If they are immortals, they can live for a long time, so for them these hundred years are too short."

Shuiling rubbed her face and glanced sideways at Gong Qianyu, "When you get old in the future, don't stop me from wearing a veil when we go out."

Gong Qianyu looked at her puzzled, "Why?"

Shui Ling flat-mouthed, "I don't want people to say you are my grandfather."

"Haha..." Gong Qianyu could only laugh dryly, not knowing how to respond.

Su Qin smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's a blessing in disguise. I still have to travel after resting."

"Yeah." Shui Ling nodded.

Everyone rested for a while and then continued on their way.

This time Gong Qianyu was a little impatient and drove much faster.

Even when it's not particularly dark at night, Gong Qianyu is always on the road, while the others sleep on the carriage.

This day, Sun Palace Qianyu stopped by a river. Everyone who has been traveling for days needs a good rest.

After Shuiling got off the car, she looked at Gong Qianyu who was feeding the horse and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

Gong Qianyu smiled slightly, "I received news that day that the coastal area of ​​Qionghai City was occupied by pirates, and the main city is temporarily safe."

Shui Ling's heart tightened, "How could this happen? Didn't Butler Qian watch over it for me?"

Gong Qianyu comforted him: "Don't worry, even if he informed me, he deliberately didn't help."

"Why?" Shui Ling looked at him puzzled. Could it be that Butler Qian was angry with him?

Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and said: "When you go back, you must put the city lord's mansion and the Yamen in order."

Shui Ling's eyes flashed, "Have Bai Rui and Gao Qiang changed their minds?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "Not necessarily, it's just that the people now may not be them."

"Huh?" Shui Ling understood, which means someone pretended to be the county magistrate and the city guard general.

Gong Qianyu guessed, "I think it is a group of pirates who have been planning this for a long time. As for their habitat, it should be the island we found last time."

"We can't do it forcefully when we go back. To find out the mastermind, it's best to catch them all."

Shui Ling nodded, frowning, "I'm a little worried about the people in the city."

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "There will be no problem. Besides, I don't believe that the peaceful people in the local area can allow outsiders to invade. There are still people who are full and want to cause trouble."

Shui Ling wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so he held back his laughter and said, "Okay, we will have a good harvest when we leave, and the people will be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing."

"When they have enough to eat and drink and nothing to use up their energy, they will definitely cause trouble."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Butler Qian said the same thing. He wanted to make them feel in danger, so he didn't help."

Shui Ling nodded. She didn't blame Butler Qian, but she was a little surprised. If he intervened, the pirates wouldn't be able to go ashore.

It seemed that the navy on his side still needed to be strengthened. Thinking of the navy, Shuiling then remembered that Shi Xinfeng was missing.

"Where's the master?" He returned to Beijing through the teleportation array, so he didn't bring his master with him.

I didn't see Shi Xinfeng when I left the capital this time. Did he not leave in Qionghai City? Or did he go to Pearl City ahead?

Maybe the master is in the main city, so those pirates didn't become arrogant.

However, these are all guesses. Only when we go back can we know what happened.

Shui Ling asked: "Our current route is to go from behind the fiefdom and not pass through Pearl City."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Yes, we were walking randomly in that space at first, but now we realize that the route took an arc."

"Well, then we'd better put on makeup and go to the city to investigate the situation secretly," Shui Ling said.

Gong Qianyu rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "How about we pretend to be four generations living under one roof?"

"Ah?" Shui Ling didn't understand what he meant.

Gong Qianyu explained: "Let Bai Zhan dress up as an old man. He is our grandfather, our parents are our parents, and we are us. It's just that he is ten years older."

After a pause, he added, "Waxumei is already young, like six or seven years old, so she is our daughter. Isn't this the fourth generation?"

Shui Ling laughed and said, "Okay, that's it, we said we came to seek refuge with our relatives, but to whom? Bai Rui?"

Bai Zhan, who was silent on the side, asked tentatively: "Excuse me...is the Bai Rui you are talking about the Bai Rui who teaches in Pearl City?"

Shui Ling was startled, "Yes, he used to run a private school, do you know him?"

Bai Zhan said excitedly: "That's my brother."

Shui Ling didn't expect that Bai Zhan had a younger brother who was an official. No, he asked Bai Rui to be an official, so it was normal for Bai Zhan not to know that his younger brother was an official.

Moreover, Kyoto and Pearl City are not very close to each other, so the exchange of news will definitely be slow during times when transportation is not convenient.

"Then why haven't you contacted him? Don't you know whether he is doing well or not?"

Bai Zhan sighed, "Last year he wrote a letter saying that the situation was not good and that he wanted to come to me, but I waited and waited and didn't even wait for him to come."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "There will be no news after that?"

Bai Zhan shook his head, "I went to the inn almost every few days to ask, and then we started to move the capital, so we were busy sorting it out and didn't take care of him."

Shui Ling nodded, "Well, it's excusable. He should be fine now."

She didn't go into details. She would wait until they met to talk. Besides, she didn't know what the situation was over there now.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "This is a ready-made plan to defect to relatives. When the time comes, you will be our grandfather, and let Lamei be our daughter for a while. In this way, the whole family will defect to Bai Rui."

What he said just now was not behind Bai Zhan's back, so he knew that there were pirates in Qionghai City.

He hesitated and said, "Why don't I take Lamei into the city and have a look around."

He was afraid that Shui Ling would be in danger if he followed, so he wanted to check out the situation first.

Shui Ling also knew what he was worried about, and said: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Don't be anxious. Besides, there is nothing going on over there for the time being."

"It also happens to let some people with ulterior motives see what will happen if they betray the city lord."

Bai Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that Shui Ling was not a woman as gentle as water. If someone touched her reverse scales, they would turn into ice.

Water can drown people, not to mention sharp ice? That can kill someone with one blow.

However, Bai Zhan was not afraid. Instead, he was very happy. It was much more practical to follow a city lord who was hard-core than to follow a weak city lord.

Gong Qianyu glanced sideways at Bai Zhan. He also understood what Bai Zhan was thinking, but he didn't reveal it.

After all, my little daughter-in-law has so many advantages. If you let them discover them bit by bit, they won't believe her even if she says them all in one breath.

But the next moment, the city lord who they thought was a strong man ran directly to the river and shouted, "Ah... there is a big fish, a big fish..."

Gong Qianyu held her forehead and couldn't help laughing.
