The rain stopped completely at midnight.

When it was getting dark, Lao Mu and his party had already left Xingluo Island far away and were on their way back to Kasyapa City.

Feng Ming slept a lot during the days he was locked in the dungeon. He was not sleepy at night and took the initiative to help sail the boat. He stayed up all night.

Lao Mu regained consciousness and asked Feng Ming to rest. Feng Ming said he was not tired and looked a little ashamed, "Master arranged for me to return to Xingluo Island. Not only did I fail to accomplish anything, but I also caused trouble for everyone."

Lao Mu stood up and looked in the direction of Xingluo Island. As far as he could see, the sea was vast and there was no island or land within his sight.

"Don't say that." Lao Mu turned his head and sighed, "Your incident at least lets us know Sheng Yue's attitude. Maybe now we see you coming back in vain, but we can't say what will happen in the future. Don’t overthink it.”

Feng Ming nodded, "Thank you, senior, for your comfort."

Chengyun sat cross-legged on the boat and fell asleep. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the white fish belly rising where the sea and sky meet in the east. "Amitabha, I hope everything is well at home."

At this time, on the other side, Gu Ling and Qiu Jing did not know what happened to Lao Mu and his party. They set off in the afternoon yesterday and were rushing to the agreed meeting place. They could arrive before the sun rose.

At this time, Gu Ling and Qiu Jing were still on the same ship. Qiu Jing disguised himself as Gu Ling, and Gu Ling disguised himself as Qiu Jing. The two of them also changed their clothes and stood together without any flaws.

They had a total of ten ships on this trip and brought a thousand soldiers, most of whom were archers in the army.

The sea breeze in the early morning was very cool. Qiu Jing stood on the bow of the boat and looked to the east. "If we can kill Mo Yan today, we can all go home. Min Rou and I are getting married this year. You can send us off then." what gift?"

"What's the meaning of the gift?" Gu Ling asked.

Qiu Jing hummed, "I don't want it, will you give it to me?"

"Is it so important whether I give it or not?" Gu Ling asked again.

Qiu Jing's lips curled up slightly, "It's important. As you said, you are very lucky. Share some of your good luck with me."

"Just wait." Gu Ling looked calm.

The morning glow turned half the sky red, the sun was about to come out, and they arrived at the agreed place.

Qiu Jing ordered the ships to stop moving forward and stop to rest.

"What if Mo Yan doesn't come today?" Qiu Jing asked.

Of course Gu Ling had thought about this possibility, "Then let's go back."

"I still hope that he will come and settle things today." Qiu Jing now has a girl he cares about in his heart and wishes he could grow wings and fly back to the capital.

When the sun came up, Gu Ling and Qiu Jing had already had a simple breakfast, and the boat sent out to investigate had not returned yet.

Qiu Jing asked Gu Ling if he wanted to go to another boat. Gu Ling shook his head and said not yet.

"My grandpa and the others should have almost arrived at Xingluo Island. I don't know what it's like over there." Qiu Jing was a little worried about Lao Mu and the others' actions.

Gu Ling shook his head, "If Sheng Yue is on the island, they shouldn't be able to blow up the forbidden area."

Qiu Jing frowned, "Do you think so highly of Sheng Yue? If so, why would you let my grandfather and the others take the risk to go to Xingluo Island?"

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Whether Mo Yan will come today or whether Sheng Yue is on the island is just a guess. It's possible, but not necessarily. It's worth a try. Even if Sheng Yue is here, they can't succeed, and there is no chance of their lives." Danger, let’s take a look at Sheng Yue’s attitude.”

But after hearing what Gu Ling said, Qiu Jing felt that Qiu Cong and the others were very likely to fail. But as I said at the beginning, as long as people are fine, we can just figure out a solution for other problems.

Gu Ling went back to the cabin to rest and asked him to be called again if there was any news.

In this way, by the time the spies came back, it was already approaching noon.

During this period, Gu Ling took a nap, and when he woke up, he heard from Qiu Jing that the spies had discovered the ship on Xingluo Island. There was only one ship, and he didn't say hello. He turned back when he saw it from a distance. He was not sure if Mo Yan was on it. .

"There is the flag of Xingluo Island on the ship." Qiu Jing said. There is a totem on Xingluo Island, which is designed by Moyan. It has a red background and a black six-pointed star pattern. Min Rou mentioned this, and Sheng Yue also said it. There was such a big flag flying on the ship that the spies saw.

Those without flags may not be from Xingluo Island, but those who come with flags clearly must be from Xingluo Island.

Qiu Jing asked Gu Ling again and saw that he still had no intention of keeping a distance from him, so he ignored him and ordered ten ships to be arranged in a fan shape on the sea. When the ships from Xingluo Island approached, it would be easy to form an encirclement. .

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a black spot appeared in his field of vision, and then slowly zoomed in. Gu Ling saw the flag of Xingluo Island flying high on the ship.

"I think Mo Yan is here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a minion to invite you to Xingluo Island. He knows that this is impossible." Qiu Jing said to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head slightly but said nothing.

Soon, the ship from Xingluo Island arrived nearby. Gu Ling still didn't hide in other boats. She stood beside Qiu Jing and looked coldly at the approaching boat.

With about fifty meters left, the Xingluo Island boat stopped, and an old man in white appeared on the bow with a group of people. Judging from the body shape and appearance, it completely matches the Moyan described by Min Rou and Sheng Yue.

Qiu Jing was pretending to be Gu Ling at the moment. He didn't ask Gu Ling for instructions, and just gave the order, "Fire the arrow!"

The next moment, an oilcloth on the ship he was on was lifted up, revealing the cannon barrel designed by Lao Mu underneath, which was aimed at the bow of Xingluo Island.

The other nine ships had already kept their distance and surrounded the Xingluo Island ship. The archers loaded their bows and began to attack the ship indiscriminately.

"Gu Ling!" The ink rock on the bow of the ship was protected in the middle, resisting arrows shot from all directions, and the explosives fired from the cannon were also knocked down into the sea midway.

Qiu Jing snorted, "Send your name!"

"I came here today at the invitation of my granddaughter for peace talks! What are you doing? Where is Su Liang?" Mo Yan shouted loudly.

Qiu Jing glanced at Gu Ling and saw that his face was expressionless, "Continue, fire attack."

Qiu Jing felt that something was not right, but he had no time to think about it at the moment. With an order, the trebuchets on each ship began to fire explosives towards the ship on Xingluo Island, and at the same time, flaming arrows were fired at the ship. .

This was completely a one-sided attack, because the ship on Xingluo Island did not have corresponding counterattack means.

Soon, the first explosion occurred on the ship, and the ship soon caught fire. People who had already left the bow began to jump into the water.

Qiu Jing's expression condensed and he didn't see where Mo Yan was. "Will he pretend to show weakness, wait until he gets into the water, swim under our boat, and then..." When he encountered the boat, he took the boat away. ?

Gu Ling nodded, "It's possible." As he spoke, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, aimed at a man who was jumping from the boat into the sea, and shot an arrow through the heart.

It is not known how many people are on the boat on Xingluo Island, but even if they jump into the sea, there is no way to survive. As long as they show up, they will be immediately attacked by dense arrows.

The battle didn't last long before it was over. There were only burned ships falling apart on the sea, and more than a dozen floating corpses. Even the flag of Xingluo Island was reduced to ashes in the fire.

Qiu Jing still didn't dare to take it lightly, always feeling that Mo Yan couldn't die so easily. He was about to persuade Gu Ling to go to another boat just in case, when he suddenly took a closer look and saw that it was drifting towards their boat. A corpse turned out to be Mo Yan who was standing on the bow of the opposite ship not long ago and was surrounded by people!

"Is he really dead? He's not pretending, is he? Hurry and shoot a few more arrows!" Qiu Jing urged Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head, "No need to waste arrows." He was the one who shot the man to death. It passed through the heart and he couldn't survive. At this time, the arrow was still on his body, like a spear, floating on the sea.

Qiu Jing ordered the body to be fished out.

Soon, the number of people was determined, thirteen, all middle-aged or above, half of them were old people, and there were no young people.

Mo Yan's body was fished out to the boat where Qiu Jing and Gu Ling were, and it was determined that he was dead.

Qiu Jing leaned over to check and said in surprise, "The face is real! It's not a disguise!" Just now he thought that Mo Yan who came today was probably fake, so that was the result, and Gu Ling had already guessed it .

"Just because the face is real, it doesn't mean the person is real." Gu Ling looked calm.

Qiu Jing raised Mo Yan's right hand, and there was a ruby ​​ring on it, "Is this it?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Fake."

Qiu Jing took off the ring and looked at it carefully, but found nothing special. He handed it to Gu Ling, "What if this is really Mo Yan? He really came to negotiate peace with you. He didn't expect you to be so cruel."

Gu Ling looked at the ruby ​​ring in his hand with a calm expression, "If Mo Yan was so careless, he would have died long ago and would not have survived until now."

"Did you expect that Zhen Moyan wouldn't show up today?" Qiu Jing frowned.

Gu Ling shook his head, "It's possible, but not necessarily. Go back."

Qiu Jing ordered to return. After walking for a while, he looked back at the ship that had been burned to nothing, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered to come here. Do you think Mo Yan is still on the island?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "I can't predict, but Mo Yan may have gone to the capital at this time."

Qiu Jing's expression changed, "There is danger at home! Let's go back quickly!"

Just like Gu Ling said, he was not sure whether Sheng Yue would guard the forbidden area on Xingluo Island, but there was a possibility. He also didn't know whether Mo Yan would come today, but there was a possibility that he would not come. They made arrangements, and it was foreseeable that the enemy would not act exactly according to their plan, but there was no way of knowing how the enemy would act.

Just because he guessed that Mo Yan's magic weapon might be able to capture a living person, Gu Ling decided to come to the appointment because Mo Yan might show up today.

But it turns out that Mo Yan is indeed very cautious to survive until now. In other words, he was afraid of death. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited for the path that I dared not walk on my own for most of my life. Although traveling back in time is his greatest wish, staying alive is more important.

"If that is Mo Yan's substitute, why would he? Wouldn't it be easier if we just didn't send anyone here today?" Qiu Jing was puzzled.

"What if I'm as naive as you and really think he's dead? His purpose of arranging a substitute will be achieved." Gu Ling looked indifferent, "And the people who came today, except for his substitute, should be the ones he had already thought of." Get rid of those with different intentions."

"Could it be that..." Qiu Jing lowered his voice, "Mo Yan had known that you were not a time traveler, but Su Liang was?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Not necessarily, but if he guessed it, it would be normal." Sheng Yue could guess that it would be normal for Mo Yan, as a time traveler, to discover that Su Liangcai should be a time traveler. Not finding it was his mistake. He made a mistake, which was a good thing for Gu Ling and Su Liang, but they couldn't count on it.

"Then what to do next? Could it be that when you return to the capital, Su Liang has fallen into Mo Yan's hands? By then, he controls Su Liang and we can't save him. Couldn't he do whatever he wants?" Qiu Jing felt The situation is not good.

"Go back and prepare to occupy Xingluo Island." Gu Ling said.

"But you didn't mean that Sheng Yue was on top..." Qiu Jing sighed, "My grandpa and the others can't deal with Sheng Yue. It would be different if you went there in person. If Mo Yan really went to the capital to capture Su Liang, you I’m afraid it’s too late to rush back now.”

Beijing.

Suddenly, on the first day of March, Su Liang wrote the words "meeting at sea" on the desk calendar, but also doubted whether Mo Yan would really go.

The weather is very good today. Min Rou made an appointment with Wen Ran and Nangong Qian to go swimming in the lake together. She came to the house early in the morning. When she saw Wen Ran, Yan Shiba was also there, but she has been pretending to be Su every day for the past half month. Liang, everyone in the house knew it, but Min Rou didn't know it, and she didn't recognize it, so she asked Yan Shiba with a smile, "The weather is so nice, let's go to the lake together with Nuan Nuan."

Yan Shiba's imitation of Su Liang's smile was so fake that it looked real. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I really want to go out for a walk. Gu Xiaonuan, forget it. Let her stay at home and take her out of trouble."

Wen Ran couldn't help laughing, and Nangong Qian was also covering her mouth and laughing.

Min Rou was puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"

Wen Ran and Nangong Qian looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "Nothing, let's go." They planned to see when Min Rou would discover Yan Shiba's flaw.

The four girls left Su Mansion and rode horses to Jingyue Lake together. Passing by Jingcheng Street, it became a beautiful scenery and attracted the attention of many people.

At this time, the door of Su Mansion was closed. Su Liang was teaching two young apprentices how to make medicine in Yuanming Pavilion. Cen Man was holding Gu Xiaonuan for a walk by the lake.

"Master's wife, today is the day when the bad guy meets the master, right?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Su Liang.

Su Liang nodded, "Yeah."

"I hope Master will succeed in killing that bad guy." Zheng'er said with a serious face.

Su Liang smiled and said, "That would be the best."

"When the master comes back, let's go to the north to play together! Didn't the master say that she would take us back to our hometown?" Ji Xiaoshu suggested enthusiastically.

Su Liang nodded slightly, "Okay, I will take you there when the time comes." Recently, I received another letter from Sujia Village. Brothers Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi are now well-read, and they are becoming more and more literate in writing letters.

Yan Shiba and Min Rou spent half a day on a cruise ship in Jingyue Lake. They landed near noon and went to Wanjia Restaurant for dinner.

Min Rou never realized that the "Su Liang" next to her was actually Yan Shiba pretending to be because Yan Shiba was really serious about this matter and had already overcome various small flaws that had appeared before with the reminders of people around her. . Especially Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu gave Yan Shiba a lot of "pointers" on this matter.

However, Yan Shiba has been deceiving Gu Xiaonuan every day, trying to get Gu Xiaonuan to call her mother, but she has never succeeded once.

Yesterday, Ji Xiaoshu pointed out why this matter could not succeed: Gu Xiaonuan is very smart, and she knows that her own mother will not specifically let her call her mother. Yan Shiba could only say: Baby Nuannuan is so amazing, but she will not give up!

After eating at the restaurant, Yan Shiba also learned from Su Liang's habit and packed some of the children's favorite dishes. They were ready when he left and took them home with him.

The four of them were riding horses, with Yan Shiba and Min Rou in front, and Nangong Qian and Wen Ran in the back. Because Yan Shiba was here, Cen Man did not come out specifically to protect Nangong Qian. Today was a gathering of besties.

Wen Ran and Nangong Qian secretly made a bet. Wen Ran thought Min Rou would recognize Yan Shiba before returning home, but Nangong Qian thought not. So the two of them had been secretly observing Min Rou and Yan Shiba, which was quite interesting.

While walking, someone not far ahead suddenly shouted, "My child! My child has been taken away!"

Yan Shiba narrowed his eyes and saw a black shadow running into an alley.

Min Rou rode her horse and rushed over without hesitation. Yan Shiba flew up and went faster. In the blink of an eye, she passed Min Rou and entered the alley first. Before entering, she did not look back and rushed towards Wen Ran and Nangong Qian made a stop gesture.

Nangong Qian frowned, "Sister Yan is very good at martial arts, she should be fine, right?"

Wen Ran understood the meaning of Yan Shiba's gesture and sighed, "I think something will happen."

And when Min Rou rode her horse to the entrance of the alley, she saw a masked man in black throwing down the kidnapped child and fighting with Yan Shiba!

Just when Min Rou was about to dismount and go to help, she saw a scene that horrified her: Yan Shiba, who had just drawn his sword, disappeared from her eyes!

"Su Liang!" Min Rou exclaimed, and then she met a pair of strange yet familiar old eyes. Her eyes widened, "Mo..."

After the masked man in black took a deep look at Min Rou, he flew up and disappeared from her sight in a few leaps.

When Min Rou rushed into the alley, she and the frightened and trembling child were the only ones left.

After Min Rou came out with a pale face and held the child in her arms, and handed it over to the hurried-looking woman, Wen Ran dismounted and supported her.

"Su Liang... Su Liang was captured by Mo... Mo Yan! It must be Mo Yan! I recognize him!" Min Rou grabbed Wen Ran's arm fiercely, "He actually... that thing can actually kill people ..." She didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

But Wen Ran knew what was going on. Because Su Liang was very busy, the person Yan Shiba was closest to in the Su Mansion was actually Wen Ran, who had already told Wen Ran why she pretended to be Su Liang and what might happen to her.

Therefore, when she heard someone on the street today saying that her child had been kidnapped in broad daylight, Yan Shiba knew that it was probably Mo Yan who was coming, and she would not hide. Because when Gu Ling went to Kasyapa City to confess the secret to Lao Mu and the others, Su Liang had already told some people in her family that she was a time traveler and that Mo Yan had a personal space.

Yan Shiba knew that if Mo Yan really came, he was hiding in the dark and possessed such a powerful magic weapon. No one could stop him from arresting people, and the person he wanted to arrest must be Su Liang. If he was allowed to break in, Su Mansion, the consequences will be very bad, the children may also be taken away.

So, as long as Mo Yan can be fooled and let him take a fake Su Liang back, the family in Jingcheng will be saved.

For this reason, Yan Shiba was very serious and worked very hard. Her only purpose was to deceive Mo Yan. She was successfully captured as Su Liang's substitute, and she had to be captured to be safe. Because they currently have no good way to ensure that they can get rid of Mo Yan, they can only use this method to avoid becoming too passive. She did it. The gesture she gave to Wen Ran indicated that she was not nervous at that time. It meant "it's okay, don't worry about her".

Last night Yan Shiba ran to sleep with Wen Ran. Before going to bed, she was still saying that she owed Su Liang a lot. Although she was determined to be a good person and her life was very stable now, to be honest, she lacked a little passion. She is a restless person by nature. From the day when Yan Shiba started pretending to be Su Liang, she told Wen Ran more than once that she was very much looking forward to kidnapping Su Liang when that old bitch Mo Yan came to capture her. It was very exciting just thinking about it. Waiting for Su Liang to save her again.

It just so happened that Min Rou didn't find out that Yan Shiba was pretending to be Su Liang today, and she was someone Mo Yan knew and was familiar with. Her performance at the critical moment of the incident made Yan Shiba's replacement plan even more successful.

"Let's go home first." Wen Ran glanced at the empty alley and patted Min Rou on the shoulder.
