"What did the third child do to you? You just came back now..."
Guo Zhao said that he would not let her get out of bed, but Shen Yingxue still got up and helped him change into home clothes.
"A letter from Beijing." Guo Zhao supported her and put his hand on her belly. She was just pregnant and her belly hadn't risen yet, but Guo Zhao touched her every day, saying hello to his girl.
"What did the letter say?"
If they were allowed to stay in the study room for most of the night, something must have happened. Shen Yingxue's face turned pale and she was thinking a lot.
Their life has just stabilized. Guo Zhao no longer needs to be stationed at the border. They also have their own children. Seeing that life is getting better and better, if something happens again, Shen Yingxue's heart will tighten and tears will fall.
"A mysterious force has appeared on the sea. The emperor is worried that it will be bad for Dayan. The princess is at sea at the moment. The third child is worried that she will run into this force..."
Guo Zhao briefly told her the situation at sea. When she heard that Jiang Miao was in danger at sea, Shen Yingxue held Guo Zhao's hand tightly.
"Then we have to save her!"
Jiang Miao was Shen Yanqing's lifeblood. Shen Yingxue didn't dare to think what would happen to Shen Yanqing if something happened to Jiang Miao.
They also have Yingying and Xiao Anyi, both of whom are looking forward to their mother's return.
"Don't worry. The third child has already made plans. You are still pregnant with the child. Don't think too much. As long as the third child is here, the princess will be fine."
Guo Zhao hugged her and coaxed her gently, and Shen Yingxue slowly calmed down.
"Um."
She was very tired by now, and soon fell asleep in his arms after being put to bed by Guo Zhao.
Looking at the woman in his arms, Guo Zhao sighed. Although he told Shen Yingxue simply, they did not know the dangers of the sea. They only hoped that Jiang Miao would be favored by good luck and turn the danger into good.
…
The ship had been sailing for two months. At this time, Jiang Miao and the others were getting farther and farther away from Dayan, and even the island of Dae had long disappeared.
During this period, they passed several small islands. Jiang Miao asked people to go down to supply supplies. She stayed on the boat and paid special attention to Feng Lian's expression, but didn't see anything.
If it's not that he has no problem, it's that he's too good at pretending.
Jiang Miao didn't know whether she should believe him, but after all, once the seeds of doubt were planted, she felt a grudge in her heart.
Feng Lian lingered at Jiang Miao's door for a long time, but still didn't dare to knock on the door.
He knew that nothing he said was right and Jiang Miao would not believe him.
"No! We are surrounded!"
Suddenly there was a scream from the bow of the ship, and the originally quiet ship immediately became agitated. Liu Meng led his people to defend quickly. A group of people were scattered around the ship, holding swords in their hands and looking at the outside with sharp eyes.
Those boats are not big, and the materials used are relatively rough. Some are even just rafts, and even if several people stand on them, they have to worry about being knocked down by the waves.
But there were so many of them. Dozens of small boats were packed with people. They were all dressed in animal skins, and the stone spears in their hands were as sharp as the swords in Liu Meng's hands.
"Where did these people come from and why did they appear suddenly!"
There were always people on guard on the ship, and the sights within a radius of a hundred miles could not be concealed by the telescopes in their hands, but they were still ambushed by these people.
Liu Meng guessed that these people must have known their identities early on and came fully prepared.
In other words, there are spies among them.
Most of the people on the boat were his buddies from the secret guard camp, so they would naturally not betray him. The most suspicious person was naturally Feng Lian, who had just boarded the boat.
The surrounding bandits pointed their stone spears at them, but no one moved.
"You stay here to defend the enemy, while I take Shen Wen and the others to protect the princess!"
If the spy is really Feng Lian, then the princess will be in danger.
"yes!"
Jiang Miao had already heard the noise outside in the cabin. She took out the dagger and held it tightly. Although she was not good at martial arts, she could resist a gangster if she encountered one.
The cabin door was closed tightly, Jiang Miao was hiding in the corner, and everyone was alert.
Wu Yue and Qiao Songyun were in another cabin these days, and they rushed over at this time. They protected Jiang Miao and Jiang Xuan. Although Wu Yue was a woman, her strength was not inferior to that of Liu Meng. With her around
Jiang Miao was also relieved.
"Sister, where do these people come from? Are they the island or the surrounding islanders?"
Jiang Xuan had never seen such a gangster before, and her face turned pale with fright.
Jiang Miao didn't know either, but with the appearance of Jiang Ru and these gangsters, she always felt that they had something in common.
Especially the guards Jiang Ru brought were dressed like these gangsters, so she couldn't help but think about it.
Jiang Miao thought about Wu Yue. Although she had a carefree temperament, she was the most vigilant when it came to detecting danger.
"Master, are these people related to Jiang Ru?"
"Jiang Ru?"
Jiang Xuan stayed in her cabin when Jiang Ru led the provocation, so naturally she didn't know about these things.
But from the name, she could guess that Jiang Ru was related to Jiang Miao.
"Does she have a grudge against her sister?"
And when he appears on the sea, he should not be a simple person.
Wu Yue briefly told Jiang Xuan what Jiang Ru had done. Jiang Xuan's expression was hard to explain when she heard that Jiang Ru was Jiang Miao's concubine and almost harmed Dayan.
She thought Jiang Wen was difficult enough, but she never imagined that there were people outside the world. When she met Jiang Ru, Jiang Wen was nothing compared to her.
"If I'm not wrong, Jiang Ru has connections with the forces behind these people, but I don't know if Tuoba Mingge is in the same group as them."
If they are a group, that's fine. If they are not a group, it means they have two pairs of enemies.
Jiang Miao knew that this trip to sea would not go smoothly, but she encountered so many crises before she was even halfway through, which made her even more vigilant.
At this time, no one noticed that Feng Lian had quietly walked to the stern of the ship. He heard movement in the cabin and saw a familiar person when he came out.
"Uncle Jiu, why are you here?"
These people are all Feng Lei's subordinates. Feng Lian knows Feng Lei's ambition. Not only does he want to dominate the sea, but he has also coveted Dayan for many years. However, Dayan has become more and more powerful. In the past few years, amazingly powerful gunpowder has appeared.
Fenglei, who wanted a share of the war with Xixia, was deterred.
However, Feng Lian knew that Feng Lei's ambitions had not stopped. He had obtained a secret weapon some time ago. It was said that it was as good as gunpowder, but Feng Lian did not see it.
Although he was Feng Lei's chosen successor, Feng Lian knew that Feng Lei had reservations about him and did not completely trust him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known anything about Uncle Jiu's and his others' actions.
Uncle Jiu was a hairy man with a beard whose original appearance was unclear. He was holding a sharp sword and looked at Feng Lian with disappointment in his eyes.
"Young Master, you ignored the great cause of the master and actually indulged in the affair of your children. If the master hadn't found out by himself, he wouldn't have known about the ridiculous things you did!"
