"The officials in Jiaxing are colluding with the bandits. Apart from the co-magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture, the prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture must also be not clean." Yu Qizhe said in a deep voice, "I asked Bai Lu to go to Linjiang Prefecture to borrow the prefectural soldiers, but Bai Lu has not returned yet."

Hearing that he was worried that the troops brought by Gu Yun could not compete with the entire Jiaxing Prefecture, Lu Jin comforted him: "No matter how powerful those pirates are, they are just ruffians. Young Marquis Gu's troops are all elite soldiers of the Lingnan Army. They may not be able to defeat us in a head-on fight."

Yu Qizhe smiled faintly: "Yes." He was no longer panicked. After all, there would only be one winner between him and Cheng Ying, and this battle of winning and losing was bound to happen.

Cheng Ying should be the same as him, they both want the other to die.

Only when the other one dies can the living one feel at ease.

Otherwise, even if he was holding Yu Jiao on the bed, he would not be able to sleep.

Gu Yun's 50,000 troops cannot enter the city rashly, otherwise they might alert the enemy. Yu Qizhe asked Yunxiao to continue to keep an eye on the movements in the courtyard opposite. He and Lu Jin went outside the city to meet Gu Yun to discuss countermeasures.

Yunxiao and his companions stared at the courtyard closely, not even daring to drink more water, but there had been no movement since the group of people went in.

"Sanniang, why hasn't the Governor come to see us yet?" Song Su had a bellyful of tea and had not yet been summoned by Cheng Ying, so he asked Huang Sanniang with a little uneasiness.

Huang Sanniang sneered at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? After the governor comes here, he will go to the sea with us. You will see him sooner or later."

Song Su: "What's going on with that woman next to Dugong? I heard that Dugong went to the island because of her."

"Don't ask too much. Just remember, she is the apple of our governor's eye. You'd better discipline your brothers. If they are careless and provoke Miss Yu, don't even think about asking me to plead for mercy in front of the governor." Huang Sanniang raised her finger and tapped Song Su's forehead.

Song Su took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have told them everything. They also know how powerful the Dugong is. Unless they are afraid of losing their lives, they will never dare to offend the Dugong."

Considering her and Song Su's relationship, Huang Sanniang still gave her a warning: "That girl was not happy to go to the island with the governor, and she even escaped outside Jiaxing City. The governor asked me to trick her into coming into the city. Miss Yu must be mad at me. The governor didn't treat her like a bird to please her. It's obvious that he cares about her so much that he's willing to give her his life. You must never do anything stupid in front of Miss Yu in the future. Anyway, you know the governor's temper better than I do."

Song Su nodded: "I know, but I heard from my uncle that this trip has alarmed the court. This Miss Yu has a great background. I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to stay in this position for long."

"I've expected this day to come. There's nothing bad on the island. I've asked my brother to pack up his belongings and bring my sister-in-law and nephew to go to the island with us." Huang Sanniang said calmly.

As the two were talking, Xia Ning's voice came from outside: "Supervisor, please ask the second leader Song to come over."

Song Su quickly straightened his expression, stood up and walked out.

After entering the main wing, Song Su did not see Miss Yu. He bowed and clasped his fists: "Song Su greets the Governor."

Cheng Ying sat on the armchair with her forehead supported by her hand. Her face was pale and she looked tired, as if she had suffered from a chronic illness.

"Is the boat ready?" he asked.

Song Su said seriously: "Everything has been prepared, and the government has also been arranged."

Cheng Ying nodded slightly: "We will board the ship tonight and go to the island. We will leave at the end of the evening hour, as soon as it gets dark."

"Don't worry, Governor. Nothing will go wrong." Even though he had been a big shot on the sea for so many years, Song Su still had the eagerness to show off in front of Cheng Ying, probably because he admired this man from the bottom of his heart and was in awe of him.

"Go and have a rest. Tell your men to keep an eye on the movements in the city and make sure no one gets in." Cheng Ying said calmly.

Song Su nodded hurriedly and left the room. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After not seeing him for so many years, the governor's majesty was the same as before and he could still easily intimidate him. This seemed to have nothing to do with his status.

When walking out of the yard, he saw a girl in pink clothes. Realizing that this was the Miss Yu mentioned by Sanniang, Song Su couldn't resist his curiosity and looked over.

Apart from her beautiful appearance, Song Su didn't see anything else. He thought that to be able to attract a man like Cheng Dugong, she must be a fairy from heaven. However, this woman seemed to be only of average appearance, and somehow she caught Cheng Dugong's eye.

Watching the woman enter the main hall, Song Su quickly put away her curiosity and left the yard.

Hearing the footsteps, Cheng Ying raised his head. He didn't think it was Song Su who had come back, but he could easily tell that it was Yu Jiao's footsteps.

Cheng Ying pressed her eyebrows and sneered, "If you want me to let you go again, don't say it. I don't want to hear it."

After the falling out, the original gentle mask seemed to be removed, and Cheng Ying became more aggressive.

"Are you avoiding me?" Yu Jiao stared at Cheng Ying's face and repeated, her tone becoming more certain, "You are avoiding me."

The quarrel that broke out after Cheng Ying was coaxed into coming to Huang Sanniang's house ended with Cheng Ying's face turning pale and her eardrum suddenly bleeding, and she was taken away and guarded.

The image of Cheng Ying with half of her face covered in blood kept flashing back in Yu Jiao's eyes. She couldn't help but recall the scene in her previous life where Fu Chuan fell in front of her and his warm blood splashed on her. That nightmare-like scene softened Yu Jiao's hardened heart again.

She couldn't understand why his eardrum suddenly started bleeding and the blood covered half of his face.

After calming down, some clues gradually emerged. Since she woke up, all the way to Jiaxing, Cheng Ying's face was very pale, and she looked tired and weak as if she was suffering from illness.

And the medicine he took on the way, what exactly did that medicine cure?

The person in front of her was Fu Chuan, the senior brother she once relied on the most. Even though his stubbornness and extremism made her hate him, she still couldn't be as cold as iron.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Jiao asked bluntly.

Cheng Ying spread her five fingers slightly, covering her phoenix eyes, with a cold feeling of world-weariness lingering around her: "Madness, there is no cure."

Yu Jiao frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Ying put down his hand, his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at her and smiled, "Or do you hope that I have a terminal illness, so that I can't stop you from looking for Yu Qizhe."

Yu Jiao was so angry that she couldn't help but say, "Fu Chuan, you are really seriously ill!"

Cheng Ying looked at her angry face and said calmly: "You care about me?"

Seeing that Yu Jiao did not deny it, Cheng Yingwen's tone changed and asked, "Jiao Jiao, are you concerned about me?"

"I told you, you are my only relative." Yu Jiao replied stiffly.

Cheng Ying smiled helplessly, and the hostility around her body subsided a lot. "It's not a serious illness, just a rage. If you say less things that I don't like to hear in the future, you won't get sick again."
