Yun Miaomiao smiled indifferently, "Really? Let's see who won't let go of whom. However, one thing I can be sure of is that I will definitely not let you go. You must bear the consequences for your evil deeds.
."
At this moment, a figure came flying from a distance, breaking the brief stalemate.
It was a man with a handsome face. He was wearing a dark silk cloth robe and a Tibetan orchid and tiger pattern belt around his waist. He had long, neat hair and unfathomable peach blossom eyes under his eyebrows.
His appearance was solid and powerful, and his appearance made Yun Miaomiao's eyes flash with surprise.
"What a good show."
The faces of the strong men changed, and they looked at the man with bright eyes, "Master, this stinky woman killed the brothers, please kill her quickly and avenge the brothers."
Yun Miaomiao's face changed slightly, and her eyes suddenly became wary when she looked at the man. This man was the leader of the water bandits in their mouth.
However, at this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the bottom of the sea.
Everyone turned their eyes in that direction and saw a huge shadow rolling on the bottom of the sea, slowly approaching them.
"That...that's..."
The strong men looked at the huge shadow with fear in their eyes. Before they had time to react, the huge shadow had already rushed out of the water and rushed towards them.
"Quick, run quickly!"
At this critical moment, Yun Miaomiao did not hesitate at all. She pushed the man away and pointed at the strong men to quickly sail away.
The man was pushed to the ground and looked at Yun Miaomiao quietly without any trace of panic on his face. The man stood up from the ground, exuding a strong and terrifying aura.
The strong men who had been frightened at first crawled and rolled to the helm at Yun Miaomiao's shout, held the tiller in their hands, and prepared to steer the ship away from this dangerous place.
However, the huge shadow was already approaching them. It was a huge sea beast with sharp teeth and was ferocious.
"careful!"
Just when the sea beast jumped up and a huge wave appeared, almost pulling the ship into the bottom of the sea. Yun Miaomiao was originally standing close to the side of the ship. Because of the rolling of the huge wave, her feet slipped and she fell outside. She was in danger.
At this moment, the leader of the water bandits took her hand and pulled her back from the giant beast's mouth.
Yun Miaomiao looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that the water bandit leader would save her.
She held the weapon in her hand tightly, with a complicated look on her face, "It's not an option to continue like this. We have to find a way to force it back, otherwise we will all be swallowed by it."
The sea beast suddenly burst out of the water and rushed towards the ship. Upon seeing this, Yun Miaomiao jumped onto the helm, pulled up the tiller, and pointed the bow of the ship at the sea beast. She controlled the direction on the ship and tried her best to avoid the ship from being attacked by the sea beast.
The man pulled out the long sword from his waist and waited for the next moment when the sea beast jumped out of the water again and directly hit its fatal point.
The strong men looked at the sea beast in horror, knowing that if they did not kill the sea beast, they would die here too.
"Brothers, please drive this beast back to the sea."
One by one, the strong men took up their weapons and prepared to fight the sea monster to the death.
Huge waves hit again. Yun Miaomiao looked solemnly, held her breath, and stared at the sea, "Now, do it."
The sea beast jumped out of sleep, and the man rushed directly to the front. The strong men also shouted to embolden themselves, and followed closely behind to attack the sea beast.
After a fierce battle, the sea beast didn't seem to get any advantage. After letting out a roar, it disappeared on the sea.
Yun Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the man, and a complex emotion surged in her heart, "Thank you."
The strong men also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yun Miaomiao without the previous hostility in their eyes, "Girl, I'm sorry, and thank you for saving us just now."
The man smiled slightly, put away his sword, and turned to look at Yun Miaomiao, with a different light shining in his eyes.
"Jin Chao, what's going on?"
Jin Chao was the strong man at the head. Hearing the man calling his name, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Master, Jin Chao knows that he is wrong. The Holy Aunt said that you will be an adult next month. If you don't find a woman to marry you, what will happen to you..."
"So, you went outside and kidnapped all these women?"
Jin Chao lowered his head, obviously not denying it.
Yun Miaomiao smiled calmly, "Master, these women are innocent people. You robbed them. They were raised by their biological parents. It took a lot of effort to raise them to such a big age. You just robbed them. Now they are just gifts."
If you go back, your reputation will be damaged in the future. You are really powerful. For your own selfish desires, you destroyed a good family. Don't you think it's too late to talk about this now? "
Jin Chao blushed, "What do you know? If we don't arrest you, our boss will~"
"Okay." The man looked at Yun Miaomiao, his eyes flickering, "What does the girl think should be done with these women?"
Yun Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him, "Master, are you going to let us go back?"
The man's eyes stayed on the tranquil sea for a moment, and then turned to Yun Miaomiao: "I will send someone to send you back, and I will not let your reputation be damaged. Jin Chao, you find a few more people and bring them all together."
Send it back."
"But, the boss, if it weren't for them, in three days, you would..."
"It's okay, just send it back."
Yun Miaomiao smelled something unusual, "Jin Dynasty, why does your leader have to be a woman?"
Jin Chao suddenly became speechless and looked at Yun Miaomiao with wide eyes. The man also looked at Yun Miaomiao in astonishment. He didn't expect her to be so bold and say it directly.
Yun Miaomiao looked at Jin Chao and the head of the family with unstoppable curiosity. When she saw the two staring at her, she asked again, "Jin Chao, why does your head of the family have to be a woman?"
Jin Chao's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips, as if he didn't know how to answer.
The man frowned and took a deep look at Yun Miaomiao, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Yun Miaomiao smiled slightly and continued: "Maybe you, the head of the family, don't really need a woman, but you need something else."
"What else?" the man suddenly said, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "I don't know about this. Tell me the reason. Maybe I can solve it for you?"
"Are you sure there is a way?" The man frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the answer.
"Yes." Yun Miaomiao nodded seriously, "You must tell me why, otherwise how can I help you?"
The man's eyes stayed on Yun Miaomiao for a moment, as if he was thinking about her words.
Jin Chao, on the other hand, listened silently on the side, with a bit of embarrassment on his flushed face, "Okay, Master, don't listen to her nonsense, the Holy Aunt can't do anything, what can she do, Master, you
It's better to keep them all, otherwise the Holy Aunt will still send people to find another girl for you."
"Okay, stop talking." The man finally said, "It's enough to marry one woman. Send everyone else back to me. Take her back to me."
The man pointed at Yun Miaomiao, who had a look of astonishment on his face. He thought he could escape, but now that he was fine, that man actually wanted to take her back to get married?
She is a married woman, how can this be done?
"Wait, you can't take me back." Yun Miaomiao stopped the man directly, "I am already a married woman, you can't take me back."
She thought the man would relent, but unexpectedly he looked at her and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter, do you really want to marry a married woman?"
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Yun Miaomiao cursed in her heart, this man really didn't choose anything?
She didn't expect things to develop like this. She looked up at the sky, what should she do now?
Gu Fengqing, if you don't come to save me, you won't have a wife.
The people over at Wangcheng were already rushing towards the Qinlan River. Halfway through the boat, they saw a large boat sailing towards them, and there were many girls in their clothes chatting in the breeze.
"Brother, look quickly, are those people the kidnappers we are looking for?"
Wang Cheng raised his eyes and looked over. It looked like those people didn't look alike, "Go and ask someone to call them and ask them where they came from and if they saw the kidnapper's boat going to the Qinlan River."
Yun Miaomiao has been missing for four days and four nights. If there is no news, he doesn't know how to explain to Magistrate Zhao.
Yun Miaomiao had no choice but to resist and was taken directly to the so-called Qinlan River waters, which was their home base.
When night fell, the ship finally arrived at a quiet island.
The island was different from what she had imagined. There were villages scattered around and brightly lit.
Yun Miaomiao looked at the land under her feet, slightly surprised, "Here~"
"Do you think this place is different from what you imagined?" The man smiled, "Indeed, the outside world's impression of Qin Lanhe is that of deep-rooted water bandits, but they don't know that this is the place that the people most yearn for. Let's go,
I'll take you to see it."
Yun Miaomiao's steps were a little heavy and she didn't walk very fast. Since arriving on the island, everyone here has been extremely enthusiastic. When she sees a man, she will say hello to him and ask him to come and sit at home. The folk customs are better than she imagined.
Much more honest.
"Most of them are refugees. They came to me when they had no other options. Although my ancestors were in the water bandit business, they only robbed some profiteers who bullied the people. They were too few to attack normal people. They came here.
We have lived a good life and have never left again. The court is extremely afraid of us, but every time we send out troops, we will encounter those sea beasts. They will either be swallowed by the sea beasts or be repelled by us, and then in
We were in trouble at sea."
The man pointed at the two mountains on the sea, "Did you see that? There and here formed a natural protective barrier. They couldn't get in, and they would be taken away by the whirlpool. That's why the court said that we were vicious, cruel, and ruthless.
The water bandits who kill without batting an eye actually don’t know that they are the ones who are going to die on their own. We just didn’t come to save them. For those who came to kill us, they even tried to save others. Girl, do you think you can?
Can you do it?”
She couldn't do it, and she might even have to make up for it with a stab.
The man chuckled lightly and took Yun Miaomiao back to his residence. His yard was not big and looked very simple.
"Don't you want to know why I have to get married when I reach adulthood? Jin Chao and Sheng Gu actually have no bad intentions. They are all for my own good. My father and grandfather both got married when they reached adulthood, but they all lived
But at the age of thirty, the holy aunt said that it was because of the curse that we suffered like this. So my family has always had this tradition. Don't be afraid that I won't hurt you. As long as you give birth to a child for me, stay with me.
Live your life and I will definitely treat you well."
The man looked at Yun Miaomiao with sincere eyes, and Yun Miaomiao's eyebrows jumped, "No, no, no, wait, I told you that I am already married, and my husband is still waiting for me to go back."
The man suppressed his smile and said, "But, but I like you. You saved me the first time we met, and you were brave enough to save Jin Chao and the others. The women I have seen are different from you.
I like you in my heart."
"...."
I don’t have a big word to say, what are these things?
"As long as you stay and marry me, I can give you whatever you want." The man promised.
Yun Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to go home.
Yun Miaomiao tried to get the conversation back on track, "You said that none of the men in your family will live past thirty? What about the women?"
The man shook his head, "There are no girls in our family, only men from a single lineage. The Holy Aunt said that it was precisely because of this that she established the rule of getting married at adulthood."
"In that case, there are so many people on your island, why do you go out to rob people?" Yun Miaomiao was very confused.
"Because almost all the people on the island only give birth to sons. Women are really rare, so they can only be brought back from outside." The man explained.
Yun Miaomiao was a little surprised, "You can only give birth to boys, but not girls?"
Could this be the reason why the current emperor thinks about attacking Qin Lanhe every day?
The man looked at Yun Miaomiao silently, "I understand your concerns. I think you can try to accept me. I have always believed in the saying that love will last for a long time. My parents can do it, and you and I can do the same. As for
If you let me go, I won't agree."
Yun Miaomiao sighed secretly in her heart, this person is really stubborn.
"Sorry, I won't promise you, but I can help you find out why your family died young at a young age, if you are willing."
Looking at Yun Miaomiao's firm eyes, the man quietly clenched his fists, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
He desperately wanted to know who that man was, who could make her so determined.
The conversation between Yun Miaomiao and the man ended here. The man did not let anyone lock her up or watch her. Instead, he called a woman and asked her to take Yun Miaomiao around the island.
Beijing
Gu Fengqing also received the flying pigeon message from County Magistrate Zhao, and learned about Yun Miaomiao being accidentally kidnapped by a kidnapper, and about Wang Cheng bringing other people back, but only Yun Miaomiao was not there
.
After some inquiring, Wang Cheng found out that it was Yun Miaomiao who voluntarily followed the water bandit leader back, or who went back to get married.
When Gu Fengqing saw the word "marriage", he was so angry that he threw everything on the table. Qing Mo heard the noise and walked in. What he saw was the mess on the floor.
"Master, what's going on?"
Gu Fengqing opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo walking in. He swallowed all the words that came to his lips, and then took the letter back into his arms with a calm expression, "It's okay, it's just the concubines.
People are causing trouble, so don't go out during this period. It's not safe. If you want anything, ask Qing Mo to buy it. After you know how to try it, you can go shopping slowly."
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other, "The imperial concubine is constantly making moves, Brother Gu, or we might cause some trouble for them too."
"Huh?" Gu Fengqing looked up at him, "If you have any ideas, tell me."
Yun Su said with a bad smile, "What the imperial concubine cares about most is the new crown prince. Let's just work on the new crown prince and let her worry less about us. When we get through the trial safely, there will be no big drama.
From the beginning, I didn't believe she could swallow this breath."
Gu Fengqing was also very upset, "Qing Mo, please contact a few informants in the palace and ask them to cause trouble for the new prince. Whether he is sick or makes trouble, in short, don't make them too comfortable.
."
Qing Mo nodded immediately, "I will take care of it now. Young master and young masters, don't worry, I guarantee that it will be done properly."
The next day, news came out in the palace that the new prince was seriously ill. The imperial concubine was even more worried and stayed up all night. It was said that all the maids and eunuchs who served the new prince were beheaded. The emperor was furious and punished many people.
When Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo heard the news from Gu Fengqing, they looked at each other and smiled.
They just moved a little bit, but they didn't want their eyeliner to move so quickly.
"Go and withdraw all our eyes, so that the concubine and the others won't be able to find out that it was us who did it." Yun Su ordered with a wicked smile.
Qing Mo nodded and left in a hurry.
Sure enough, Master Yun has thought so carefully at a young age, and he is worthy of being Madam's biological brother.
A few days later, the new prince's condition became more and more serious, and the imperial concubine became more and more anxious. She heard that she had also dealt with people in her own palace, and now she stayed by the new prince's bedside all day long, not paying attention to him.
Gu Fengqing was able to get rid of the entanglement of the imperial concubine temporarily, and he asked Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming examination.
After he finished all this, he called Qing Mo over, "Qing Mo, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."
"Master, what are you doing?" Why does such a good person want to enter the palace?
Gu Fengqing did not explain to him, but went into the house, changed his clothes, and hurried out. The carriage at the door was ready. He got on the carriage and walked directly towards the palace.
"What?"
The emperor thought he had heard wrong. Gu Fengqing looked stern and said, "Your Majesty, you also know that Wei Chen was rescued in Jiangning Village. Now the water bandits in Qinlan River are raging. Wei Chen cannot be ungrateful and watch them rampage.
Those saviors who acted recklessly on our territory and even captured the humble ministers are all His Majesty's subjects."
Gu Fengqing knelt down and said, "Wei Chen implores His Majesty's permission to let Wei Chen lead the troops to attack the water bandits in Qinlan River."
