After making arrangements for Lingxue Sect, the group was ready to go down the mountain. Moreover, personnel from Fengqing Pavilion in Jindong City had already settled in Lingxue Sect, and together with the ten disciples, guarded the door.
After coming down from Lingxue Mountain, Qi Qiuhai also said goodbye to them, and pointed at Su Han and said: "Little princess, when you have time, I will ask His Highness Prince Chen to take you to sit at my mountain gate. The scenery there is no worse than elsewhere."
"Thank you, Senior Qi, for inviting me. I'll definitely stop by when I get some time." Su Han gestured to him with cupped fists, which was both generous and appropriate.
It took them five days to return to Baifeng City, but it was also because there was Duan Feiyu who had mobility issues during the trip.
After seeing the few people who had come back safe and sound, Ling Zinan nodded happily and held Xueyao's hand tightly, greeting her with greetings.
After having dinner at Prince Chen's Mansion, Ling Zinan insisted on taking Gu Muyun and Xueyao back. Su Han and Xiao Muting had no choice but to agree.
The two of them finished washing and sat in the bedroom. Su Han couldn't help but ask while enjoying Xiao Muting's service of drying her hair.
"Ms. sir, I heard the conversation between you and Senior Qi when we were at Lingxue Gate. Is there something wrong with Linhai?" She sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and asked with her eyes closed.
Xiao Muting responded lightly: "Yes! There is a small group of pirates, but according to the news, it should be Dong Qiguo."
"Dongqi Country...is that small country facing the sea on three sides? The one with only one road on the border with us?" Su Han asked.
"Yes, it's that Dongqi country, but they didn't come from the border. Instead, they chose to come from the sea. They also attacked the surrounding residents of Linhai. They mainly used small boats. They came and ran fast, leaving the officers and soldiers of Linhai
Very helpless." Xiao Muting sighed and shook his head.
"Has Marquis Chuanhai fought with them?" Su Han asked again.
"Yes, we fought several times and beat these people so hard that they no longer dare to appear within the boundaries of Marquis Chuanhai. It is probably because of this that they turned around and attacked our county citizens." Xiao Mutingdan said.
vocal tract.
Su Han opened his eyes and blinked, then said: "Mr. Sir, I am not the only one who can fight with grass and trees. I feel that this is not a good sign."
"I feel it too, so I have informed Yi Jiazhen to lead the Qingjiao Army to strengthen patrols along the coast." Xiao Muting nodded.
After Su Han grabbed the dry towel in his hand, he turned around and looked at him: "A small group of pirates can attack with small boats and escape intact. This shows that they are quite familiar with the surrounding terrain near our sea.
"
Xiao Muting was about to turn his head to look at her, but her little hands straightened his face, and then she wrung his hair for him: "You said that, I can hear you, don't move, it will hurt."
Xiao Muting smiled happily and said: "Judging from this matter, yes."
Su Han said again: "The ships of the Qingjiao Army are all big ships, and our border with Dongqi State, except Mingu Pass, has no land bordering it. On the east and west sides are two estuaries where sea water pours in.
The width is not narrow, but if you want to sail a large ship, isn’t it also suitable?”
"Of course it won't work, it will be stranded." Xiao Muting replied.
"Small boat...that's how it is..." Su Han chuckled.
Xiao Muting also understood and smiled: "No wonder the Qingjiao Army can't find it. It's really cunning."
"It seems that we need to inform General Yi and let them treat others in their own way. They use small boats, and we have to use small boats to intercept them. Only in this way can it be effective. Next, we need to strengthen the fishing villages near the sea.
As for the patrol team, it’s not that the officers and soldiers’ participation rate is not good, but the speed is not as fast as theirs. There must be a time limit from receiving the alarm to arriving at the scene. Presumably, these pirates have also figured out this time limit, so they will do it again and again.
Succeeded." Su Han analyzed seriously.
"Self-rescue is a good way. In this case, it is better to set a trap. Only by catching the person can we have the capital to negotiate." Xiao Muting raised the corner of his mouth coldly.
Su Han stopped and asked: "Mr. sir, does this matter have anything to do with the Long'an Congress?"
"Huh? Is that possible?" Xiao Muting turned his head slightly and frowned.
"It's time for Jing Hongjian and the members of the mission to return to the capital of Long'an Kingdom. According to my calculation, he should have fallen ill on the third day after arriving in the capital. It's just that the news hasn't spread yet, but I believe
The power of my medicine, if this is true, he will lose another son. However, Dong Qiguo's actions are not caused by him, so what could it be?" Su Han frowned and frowned.
His face was pondering.
Xiao Muting snorted coldly: "No matter what it is, they really shouldn't provoke me. They really think that I am a useless king now. There is only one outcome for being ill-informed."
Su Han suddenly climbed onto his shoulder, stretched his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong Liang, isn't he from Dongqi Kingdom? I guess he must have some experience in this naval battle."
Xiao Muting turned his head and kissed her on the face and said with a smile: "You are still smart."
"No way, I think you also thought of it, so I just asked." Su Han modestly wanted to retract his head, but instead he held his head and did not let go.
"You girl, how come you are so clearly separated from me? It was obviously you who thought of it. Did you hear something you shouldn't have heard again?" Xiao Muting asked alertly.
Su Han wanted to shake her head, but her head was held tightly in his hands. She was helpless and could only say: "No, no one dares to say anything about me now. I just thought you had thought of it a long time ago, nothing else."
"Don't hide it from me. If you let me know, you know what I will do." Xiao Muting warned while his eyes became deep.
Su Han immediately broke away from his hand, put the towel in his hand directly on his head, turned around and got into the bed, covered his head, and shouted inside: "No, I can't say anything today."
, I’m tired, I’m so tired... sleepy, sleepy, sleep!”
After Xiao Muting took the towel off his face, he looked at Su Han who had wrapped himself up like a cocoon with a smile, and shook his head with laughter.
"Stop laughing...it's disturbing my sleep..." Su Han protested under the quilt.
Xiao Muting waved his hand and threw the towel out, hanging it on the washstand on the side. He waved his hand again, and the candles in the room went out, leaving only one on the bedside.
He then turned around and lay on the bed. With a flick of his fingers, the only candle in the room was extinguished. He stretched out his long arms and hugged the little person wrapped in the quilt.
"Are you going to freeze my husband to death without even covering me?" he said with aggrieved tone.
"How can I not, you are always wronging me..." Su Han's voice became much clearer as expected, which was a sign of her getting out of the quilt.
Then came her soft voice: "Xiao Muting...can't you spare me this time?"
"Of course you can, it just depends on your performance..." He said with a smile.
After a "bah" sound, she said: "That's enough."
"The kiss was on the face, it doesn't count!" he said again.
"You are too shameless...Ignore you..." Su Han snorted and turned over.
"Ah...what are you doing..." the soft voice started again.
"What do you think...my husband will show you, so you won't kiss in the wrong place next time..." he said.
