In order to resolve the strange seed on Yi Wu's body and investigate the whereabouts of the Wise King, Xiao Qingyin and Yi Shuihan decided to postpone their return to Nandan for a while.

Yi Shuihan relayed the message to Marquis Yong'an.

The Marquis of Yong'an was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

"You unfilial son! You promised to come back in a month, and now a month and a half has passed, and you still want to postpone your return! I'm so angry!"

Princess Zhaoyang patted his back for him.

"Don't get so angry, your health is important."

Marquis Yong'an held her and wailed, "You unfilial son, you're exploiting me like this. I definitely won't live much longer. If I'm gone, who will take care of you?"

Princess Zhaoyang: "..."

She can take care of herself.

Of course, she didn't say this out loud to avoid hurting her dear husband.

She patted the Marquis of Yong'an on the shoulder and laughed, "Why don't we quit and go back to Da Xi?"

Back to Daehee?

Marquis Yong'an immediately shook his head.

Da Xi is nowhere near as fun as Nan Dan.

He just opened a pig breeding farm and plans to promote hybrid pigs throughout Nandan. He also issued an education decree that every family that sends their children to school will receive a free piglet for each child.

In addition, he has compiled all his books on pig farming and plans to publish a comprehensive agricultural encyclopedia together with other books written by agricultural PhDs on crop cultivation, fish farming, and chicken raising, to help the people of Nandan comprehensively improve the yield of crops and livestock and achieve common prosperity.

If he returned to Da Xi, he could only live as a refined scholar and could do nothing else.

"Forget it, I've already been in charge for over a month, one more month won't make a difference."

He sighed deeply.

"I'll settle accounts with that unfilial son when he gets back."

Princess Zhaoyang covered her mouth and chuckled.

This is just like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit.

As for Xiao Qingyin, she didn't recognize the strange seed on Yi Wu's body, and she searched all the bookstores in Nan Yue but couldn't find any relevant records.

We had no choice but to use Song Qingshan's promise.

Hopefully, this knowledgeable pirate leader can provide her with some information.

Surprisingly, Song Qingshan had never heard of it either.

"I can help you investigate the South Island; there are many unusual plants there."

He replied as follows.

Xiao Qingyin then entrusted this matter to him, and at the same time wrote to Qiu Sanniang to see if she knew him.

After waiting for several days, I still didn't receive a reply from her.

Xiao Qingyin sensed something was amiss.

Replying to the letter would only take a few minutes. No matter how busy Qiu San Niang is, surely she can spare a few minutes?

Yi Shuihan instructed his men to keep an eye on the Hongyun Gang's movements and discovered that Qiu Sanniang hadn't shown up for several days, and that the second-in-command was in charge.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao immediately became anxious.

Is Third Sister sick?

Xiao Qingyin: Hmm? Something seems to be going on?

If the timing weren't so bad, she would have loved to gossip and find out exactly what the relationship between the two was.

Yi Shuihan sent men to infiltrate Hong Kong Island to investigate, and they soon sent back news: Qiu Sanniang had been placed under house arrest.

"It must have been Lu Hongli who did it!"

Yun Zhao said with a cold face.

“I discovered before that Lu Hongli seems docile, but he is actually unruly. If Third Sister is not careful, she will definitely suffer the backlash.”

But he didn't say this to Qiu Sanniang.

Firstly, he is, after all, an outsider, and his words could be seen as an attempt to sow discord.

Secondly, he wasn't sure if he had a prejudice against Lu Hongli. Every time he saw Lu Hongli appear next to Qiu Sanniang, he felt a little irritable and always felt that Lu Hongli's eyes were strange.

Maybe the problem lies with him.

Xiao Qingyin was a little puzzled: "Didn't anyone in the gang notice that Third Sister was being held captive? Or did they know, but also agree to this?"

Did they think Qiu San Niang was unsuitable after she had been the leader for more than half a year, and wanted to replace her?

"Most of Qiu San Niang's confidants are outside, while those who remain on the island are all under Lu Hongli's control."

Yi Shuihan replied.

"Lu Hongli has been planning this for some time."

Xiao Qingyin sighed.

It seems that Qiu Sanniang never expected Lu Hongli to turn against her from within, and was completely unprepared for him.

She and Qiu San Niang were friends, and she certainly couldn't stand by and watch her friend die in trouble.

He then discussed with Yi Shuihan and Yun Zhao how to rescue Qiu Sanniang.

But before any action could be taken, something unexpected happened.

Lu Hongli sent out invitations to the leaders of various gangs to come to Hong Kong to attend his wedding with Qiu Sanniang.

Yun Zhao was so angry that he almost smashed the table.

"You bastard!"

He finally understood what was wrong with Lu Hongli's gaze.

That guy has been eyeing Third Sister all along!

Liao Yuan was his sworn brother, and San Niang was his sworn sister-in-law. How could he possibly covet his own sister-in-law!

What a shameless and despicable bastard!

It was a pity that San Niang trusted him so much.

Yun Zhao wished he could sprout wings and fly to Hong Kong Island to rescue Qiu San Niang.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Qingyin replied, "Let's adjust our plans."

This wedding banquet was both an accident and an opportunity.

If they use it well, they can not only rescue Qiu Sanniang, but also find out if the Wise Prince is in the pirate gang.

Although the leaders of each gang will definitely not attend the banquet, and will only send their second or third leaders, the Wise Prince might just be mingling among the guests to join in the fun.

Now that the person has been caught, she no longer needs to search everywhere for that strange seed.

A wedding banquet requires an invitation to attend, and they hadn't received one—Lu Hongli certainly wouldn't invite them, so they had to ask Song Qingshan for help.

Song Qingshan was clearly very well-informed. After they found him, before they could even explain their purpose, he said, "You want to infiltrate our Qingshan Gang to attend the wedding banquet, right?"

Xiao Qingyin praised, "As expected of Chief Song, his predictions are truly divine."

"I can help you with this, but if you have a direct conflict with the Hongyun Gang, it's best not to use our Qingshan Gang's name."

Song Qingshan replied.

"We don't want to go up against the Hongyun Gang yet."

“No problem,” Xiao Qingyin replied, “We will distance ourselves from this.”

Song Qingshan sent his second-in-command, Xu Qing, to attend the wedding. Xiao Qingyin and the others disguised themselves as Xu Qing's followers and took a boat to Hong Kong on the wedding day.

On the boat, Xiao Qingyin asked Yi Shuihan, "I only know about the Hongyun Gang, the Black Tiger Gang, and the Green Mountain Gang among the five major gangs. What are the other two gangs?"

"The Sea Wolf Gang and the Giant Whale Gang."

Will they all send people over today?

“Probably,” Yi Shuihan said with a smile. “It’s a rare opportunity to visit the Hongyun Gang’s headquarters, so even if it’s risky, they will come.”

Just as he expected, all five major gangs arrived.

Most of the members of the Hung Wan Gang also gathered in Hong Kong to attend the wedding of their two leaders.

The island pier is full of boats. The boats that arrive later can't dock at all and can only stop on the outer perimeter. People have to jump through the boats in front of them to reach the shore.

The Green Mountain Gang has always kept a low profile, arriving neither too early nor too late.

After Xiao Qingyin followed Xu Erdang to the island, she carefully observed the reaction of the butterfly in her sleeve to see if she could encounter the Wise King or the person who took the antidote.
