After pacifying Nanwan Island, the other two pirate groups can be wiped out.

The next day, Yu Jiao woke up and found that there was no one around her. The bedding beside her was cold and it didn't look like anyone had slept there. She called Jianjia and asked her and found out that after she fell asleep last night, Yu Qizhe went to the government office.

Yu Jiao neglected to change the bandage on Yu Qizhe's chest wound last night. She felt a little worried, so after dinner, she changed her clothes and went to the government office with the medicine.

However, he did not expect that he would come back empty-handed. Apart from some soldiers left by Gu Yun, there was no one else in the government office.

Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the government office knew Yu Jiao's identity and invited the deputy general of the Lingnan Army who was guarding Jiaxing Prefecture to come over.

The deputy general wanted to cover it up at first, saying that Young Marquis Gu and Lord Yu had important matters to attend to and had gone out of the city temporarily.

But Yu Jiao was not so easily deceived. There were only 10% of the 50,000 Lingnan troops left in the city. Under her questioning, the deputy general had to tell the truth.

When Yu Jiao learned that they had gone out to sea to suppress bandits, she couldn't help but feel worried. She knew that Yu Qizhe didn't mention it last night because he didn't want to make her worry.

Yu Jiao felt a secret dull pain in her heart. Yu Qizhe would take time out of his busy schedule to go back and accompany her and comfort her, but she could not help him in any way before he went out to sea to fight the bandits.

"Has Mr. Lu sent back any news?" Yu Jiao collected her thoughts and asked the deputy general again.

The deputy general said, "No news has been sent back yet. Madam, don't worry. Yesterday, Lord Yu sent five people to Linjiang Prefecture to inquire about the situation."

After Yu Jiao took Jianjia away from the government office, they went to the pharmacy.

Seeing that Jianjia was distracted on the road, Yu Jiao comforted her, "With Bailu's skills, it is not a problem for her to protect herself. I am afraid she was tripped. Lu Tongzhi's martial arts are extraordinary, so she will be fine."

Jianjia nodded, pursed her lips and forced a smile, "Madam is right, but I don't see her coming back yet, and I always feel uneasy."

Yu Jiao patted her hands. She agreed with Jianjia's words and had the same concerns in her heart. She could no longer say any more words of comfort.

The two bought a large amount of medicinal materials in the pharmacy and returned to the courtyard in a depressed mood. Except for eating, they immersed themselves in making medicine and made many medicine packs for bruises, injuries, and the removal of dead tissue and the regeneration of flesh.

At night, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Jianjia opened the door and took a look. Her face was immediately filled with joy. She shouted happily into the house: "Girl, Lu Tongzhi and Bai Lu are back!"

Seeing Bai Lu was actually being supported by Lu Jin and walked in, he asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Bai Lu twitched her lips: "It's nothing serious."

Yu Jiao heard the voice and walked out of the house. She looked around and her eyes fell on Bai Lu's legs. "Did you hurt your legs? Come in quickly."

Jianjia took Bailu from Lu Jin and helped her into the room.

Yu Jiao looked at the wound on Bai Lu's leg. It seemed that she was stabbed by some weapon and was not treated in time. The wound had become inflamed and ulcerated.

She hurriedly took out some strong liquor to clean Bai Lu's wound and said, "It will be painful, just bear with it."

Bai Lu glanced outside the room and whispered, "Lu Tongzhi is also injured."

Seeing that she was still worried about Lu Jin, Yu Jiao said to Jian Jia, "Take Lu Tongzhi to the main hall to sit for a while. I will treat Bai Lu's wound and then go to see him."

After cleaning the wound, Yu Jiao sprinkled some medicine powder on Bai Lu's wound and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid it will leave a scar."

Bai Lu smiled calmly: "I have practiced martial arts since I was young, and I was born as a secret guard. I actually have many scars on my body. Miss, you don't have to feel sorry for me."

Yu Jiao knew that she had a tough personality and was different from ordinary women, so she said, "It's okay if you don't mind. I'll find some rare herbs to make scar cream. Although it won't restore your skin to its original state, it can lighten the scars to the point where they are not so obvious to the naked eye."

"Thank you, young lady." Bai Lu spoke little. Although she felt warm in her heart, she didn't know how to express it.

Yu Jiao bandaged the wound and said, "What happened in Linjiang Prefecture? You have Yu Qizhe's token and letter, how dare they hurt you?"

Bai Lu said, "After I arrived at Linjiang Prefecture with your letter and token, the governor of Linjiang Guard delayed me by saying that the guards were on patrol and it was difficult to gather them. After I waited for a day in Linjiang Prefecture, the governor refused to see me again. I took the letter and token to see the prefect of Linjiang Prefecture, and the prefect complained bitterly, saying that 'the guards have married and had children outside, and have established families and businesses, and are hiding like military households.' The governor of Linjiang Guard was also unable to gather troops, so he avoided me."

Yu Jiao frowned, "Then what happened to your injuries?"

Bai Lu continued, "Seeing that Linjiang Prefecture could not borrow troops, I wanted to return to Jiaxing Prefecture to inform you so that you could make other preparations. However, I was chased before I left Linjiang Prefecture. Those people held goose-wing swords that only infantry soldiers in the army had. I was alone and could not defeat them. I was accidentally injured. Those people squatted at the city gate to capture me, which prevented me from leaving the city. I was delayed until Lu Tongzhi came looking for me the day before yesterday, and then I was able to escape from Linjiang Prefecture."
