After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

436 Heartbeat like a drum

436 Heartbeat like a drum

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Sun Sicheng was stunned.

But he was only stunned for a moment. He touched his chest, where his heart was beating like a drum. Only he knew that he was about to collapse.

The Marquis had already come over. He sighed repeatedly and said that Taoer should bring the person back.

"My Lord, Sicheng can only ask you to help find someone."

"Sicheng, stay calm. Ping'an is so smart, nothing will happen to him."

Sun Sicheng then calmed down a little. Yes, Ping An knew formations and kung fu. As long as he was given a little chance, he should be able to lead people to escape.

But this is the sea, the boundless sea, where can he escape to?

"My Lord, it is certain that Ping An and the others have been drugged, and it is a very powerful drug, otherwise it would be difficult to catch Ping An."

"Sicheng, I asked someone to make arrangements overnight, but it's late at night and it's almost the end of the month. There's not much moonlight, so we dare not put the boat out to sea. We can't see anything even if we go out to sea. Why don't we let them have a good rest? Let Wang Tao take the boat out early tomorrow morning.

I will also send people to look for him on land and on the islands, what do you think?"

Sun Sicheng nodded: "This is the only way. Xiao Wu, what does He Jin say?"

Xiao Wu said, "Uncle He said he would take some people to search the sea, and some people, led by Da Zhuang, would continue to search near the market."

"I understand. The three of you go down and wash up and eat. Ping An will be fine. I will go with you to look for him early tomorrow morning. We will definitely find him."

"Yes, young master." Xiao Wu took Erqiang and Lin Feng downstairs to rest. The three of them could hardly hold on any longer.

"Sicheng, I don't know why those people tied them up, but since they tied them up, they will be fine for the time being."

Sun Sicheng suddenly couldn't control himself, his voice choked with sobs: "My Lord, there is no hurry, he has been with me since he was seven years old, and he has hardly left me all these years. I treat him better than my own son. This time he wanted to go to the sea for a visit, and I couldn't bear to spoil his fun, so I said I happened to have something to do here, so I accompanied him.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s Wanli or He Jin who’s in charge of my affairs. I just didn’t want to spoil the children’s fun. But even if I accompanied them, I still lost them.”

"Sicheng, everything will be fine. Others may not know, but the emperor told me that Ping An will set up the formation and the war in the north will end early. It has a lot to do with you, the master and the disciple.

You see, Ping An knows how to set up a formation, and those people will always be careless sometimes. If he spends a little time setting up a formation, they may not be unable to escape.

I still have some prestige in this area. If I search both by land and sea, I don't believe I won't be able to find him.

Besides, this matter is also related to us. If Wang Tao hadn’t come back, this wouldn’t necessarily have happened.”

"How can you blame you and Wang Tao for this? Wang Tao is also doing this for the greater good."

Before Sun Sicheng finished speaking, Wang Tao came running over like the wind: "Dad, Dad, Achen said Ping'an and the others are missing, what happened?"

The Marquis told the story again.

Wang Tao stamped his feet in anger, "It must be that bastard who kidnapped someone. Ping An was very careful when he went out. He even put on makeup and wore ordinary clothes, but Master Fu and Master Chen were still dressed as usual. Some of the small clans are short of young people. Dad, do you think they might have captured the two young masters and brought them back, and Ping An happened to run into them, so they just kidnapped them?"

The Marquis was silent. This was really possible. This had happened before. A few years later, the missing person came back, but he already had children.

Sun Sicheng just felt a splitting headache. What was going on?

Even if Ping An used facial concealer, it couldn't hide his outstanding appearance. His temperament and figure were there.

"My Lord, I'm going to go back first. Please make arrangements. Jixiang, help me walk."

Jixiang on the side had already turned red in his eyes. He couldn't bear the thought that he would never see Master Ping'an again.

The eldest son couldn't bear it even more. Otherwise, why would someone with such a good health need his help to walk?

Early the next morning, Sun Sicheng, Wan Li and a few others followed Wang Tao onto the boat. Wang Tao brought thirty people who were good at swimming and had martial arts skills, and divided them into three boats.

Just when Sun Sicheng boarded the ship to go out to sea to look for people.

Several people on the Ping An boat also got up. While Xiao Ming and Chen Xizi were making breakfast, he took Fu An and Chen Xuan to get off the boat to relieve himself.

A quarter of an hour later, they were ready to go back.

"Ping'an, look, there's a boat coming over there." Chen Xuan saw at a glance that there was a boat parked ten feet away from them, and there were several tall and strong men busying back and forth.

"Chen Xuan, you two go back first. I'll go over and say hello."

Fu An said nervously: "Don't go, Ping An. Those people are all big and strong. There are a lot of people. What if they find out that this is a remote place?"

The bloody and violent scenes came to his mind and he felt terrible.

"You guys go back to the boat first. I have to ask and test their words to know if we are going in the right direction. Otherwise, we will only get closer and closer and further away. Don't worry, I am very good at light work. If they really have bad intentions, I can run away very quickly. If anything goes wrong, you guys row the boat immediately and I will jump on board."

Fu An nodded, Ping An was indeed very good in this aspect.

The two of them turned around and walked back. No matter how worried they were, they couldn't follow Ping An, otherwise they would bring trouble to him.

Ping An walked towards these people, and they stopped and looked at him.

As they got closer, Ping An realized something was wrong.

These were real foreigners with white skin, yellow hair and blue eyes. He had seen them at the market, but not these people.

"Hello, where are you from?"

A man walked over quickly: "Hey, what did you say?"

This person spoke the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was very stiff, and everyone else looked at them.

"We stopped here last night. We just saw you guys and came to say hello."

The man said "Oh" and uttered something in English.

Ping An was shocked. Is there English at this time?

He tried to communicate with them in English and the group was surprised.

A few more people gathered around.

You and I started speaking English.

English can be said to be Ping'an's second language besides Chinese. He has lived in the Great Zhou for fifteen years in his life and has never spoken a word of English. He thought he must be stumbling around in it, but he didn't expect that he could speak it exceptionally fluently.

I can only say that some things have penetrated deeply into my bones and I can't forget them even if I want to.

Ping An then realized that they were from a small country on the other side of the ocean. This was their second visit to Da Zhou, but unlike the last time, this time they came specifically for the market.

Ping An also knew that most of the goods they brought had been sold, and they got in return a lot of things they liked, but they were not very satisfied with the prices.

Ping An was not interested in their goods, and now he just wanted to go home quickly.

"We still have some things left. I wonder if you are interested. We can sell them to you at a lower price."

Ping An replied in English: "I don't have any silver on me, but I still have some pearls. I wonder what else you have?

I am planning to go to the Guluowan Market. The sea breeze blew my boat off course the night before. I wonder how far it is from here to there?"

He pointed in the direction he was going.

A middle-aged man said in surprise, "Friend, you don't know where you are going if you walk this way. We came from this direction yesterday morning, and going up from this direction will lead to Guluowan."

Ping An was shocked and thanked him quickly.

Ping An turned around and saw Chen Xizi and a few others standing at the bow, looking at him nervously. He waved his hand and said, "I'll be back soon and talk to them."

Fu An and the others felt a little relieved.
