The two chatted for a while, then washed up and went to bed.

But the two of them were sleeping soundly when Yue, who was on duty at night, called Shangguan Ziqi softly from outside the window.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Shangguan Ziqi had a very sensitive sense and opened his eyes as soon as Yue called out.

He immediately put on his clothes and came out.

However, in this small farmyard, the creaking sound of the door opening was quite loud, and Yu Yuanzheng was awakened by the sound.

He also put on his clothes and came out.

Jie Yu saw two people standing at the door, besides Yue there was also a deputy general named Feng Lei.

It was during this voyage that Shangguan Ziqi's most capable assistant, and also one of the generals in the navy, was deployed.

"Why?"

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Feng Lei bowed, "A soldier in the camp went out for the night and never came back. I don't know why, so I took people to look for him nearby, but no one was there. I didn't dare to take people to look for him in the farmers' houses. Every family was filled with women."

After finally reaching land, everyone wanted to have a good sleep, so he only arranged ten people to keep watch.

In the late night, one of them got up to urinate.

They came one after another and disappeared into the woods.

None of them came back.

The night watchman reported to him.

He and a few brothers searched the woods near the camp, even looking for where they urinated, but they couldn't find anyone.

He was anxious and had to alarm the prince.

Shangguan Ziqi was stunned when he heard this.

Is there any danger on this island that they don't know about?

"Madam, I am sorry to bother you. You are a woman, so it is easier for you to walk. We will go to find Granny Ye and Granny Cui now. We need to ask them for help now."

"Um."

They went back to their room and put on their clothes.

The two maids were also awakened by the noise.

"Princess, what happened?" Lixiang asked.

"Our soldiers have tracked down someone. Hurry up and put on your clothes and follow me to ask Granny Ye and the others."

Several people quickly came to where Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui lived.

They both lived not far from the square.

The two old people were woken up, and Yu Yuanzheng told them the situation in a few words.

"Granny Ye, is there any danger on this island? Why did our soldiers disappear without a sound?" Yu Yuanzheng asked anxiously.

The two mothers-in-law frowned and thought for a while before looking at Yu Yuanzheng.

"Princess, there has never been any danger on the island except for the typhoons that come every year." Granny Ye said truthfully.

"If that's the case, why did our people disappear?" Shangguan Ziqi heard something wrong.

If it is not a self-inflicted danger, then it is a man-made danger.

"Oh, I'm confused. I roughly guessed where they went. I'll take you to look for them." Grandma Ye looked helpless.

"Ye Chan, do you really want to take them to find someone?" Granny Cui disagreed.

Apparently she also knew where the soldier had gone.

From their looks, Yu Yuanzheng immediately guessed where they had gone.

Someone must have secretly taken him away using some shady means.

The purpose is obvious.

Stay and be a son-in-law.

There are more than 800 women on such a big island, and at least more than 200 households. If there were no two grandmothers to lead the way, how long would it take them to find them house by house?

"Cui Ermei, we can't be confused.

Although the emperor did not definitely promise to help us today, judging from the half-day contact we have had, he will definitely help us.

The princess also plans to help us find the reason for the curse. We can't let the villagers make mistakes and offend the emperor.

Those people they brought with them wanted to kill us all, it would be easy. Don't you see that those men are a hundred times stronger than our men?" Granny Ye looked very annoyed.

Granny Cui lowered her head after hearing what she said.

"You take these two girls to look for it in the east, and I'll take the prince and princess to look for it in the west." Granny Ye pushed Granny Cui directly, "Go quickly, don't waste time, if you're late, something might happen."

Granny Cui had no choice but to take Lixiang and Taoxiang to the east. Shangguan Ziqi asked Yue and Feng Lei to follow with a few brothers.

Granny Ye led Yu Yuanzheng and his wife, as well as several guards, toward the west.

It took about two quarters of an hour.

Came to a larger yard.

There was still a dim light on inside, which showed that the owner had not slept at all.

"Mrs. Yang, open the door." Grandma Ye walked forward and knocked on the door.

As soon as she knocked on the door and shouted, the lights inside suddenly went out.

Shangguan Ziqi knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it, and wanted to fly in using Qinggong, but was stopped by Yu Yuanzheng.

And shook his head at him.

Not only were these villagers all women, they had no martial arts skills and had not been baptized by the ethics and morals of the Wei Dynasty. They acted entirely based on their nature.

Call it reckless or ignorant, force cannot be used to solve problems.

It will only intensify the conflict.

Since they don't know their difficulties, there is no need to make the relationship awkward.

"Mrs. Yang, open the door." Mrs. Ye knocked on the door a few more times and raised her voice.

Then the sound of a wooden door creaking was heard from inside.

Then I heard footsteps.

After a few breaths, the gate opened.

Under the faint moonlight, a woman in her forties stepped out.

"Oh, it's Grandma Ye. Why are you here at this time? It's already the late night. You can't stay up late in your health. The villagers all over the island will have to work hard for you." Grandma Yang said with a flattering smile.

But her eyes kept scanning Shangguan Ziqi and others.

"Is there someone hiding in your house?" Grandma Ye asked directly without any further ado.

"Grandma Ye, what are you talking about? Who can be hidden in my house? Men? There are only a few men on the island, and you have to count them personally every day. How can we hide?" Grandma Yang refused to admit it.

“You’d better tell the truth, otherwise your family will be in big trouble. The people who came to the island today are not people we can afford to offend.” Granny Ye threatened her and spoke very sternly about the consequences.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that she was guilty.

"Hurry up and take us in." Grandma Ye shouted.

Mrs. Yang was so frightened that she shrank back.

At this moment, footsteps and voices were heard from inside.

"Big brother, you can't be so stubborn. Please, just stay here. We will definitely take good care of you. The four sisters in our family are all first-class laborers."

"Sister, stop talking nonsense and take the person back quickly."

"You, you are so shameless." The man's voice.

Shangguan Ziqi heard it, pushed Mrs. Yang in front of him, and walked into the yard in a few steps.

Under the moonlight, four women held a man together to prevent him from leaving.

The man obviously didn't have much strength and even standing seemed a bit difficult.

Shangguan Ziqi took a few steps forward, kicked the four women away, and supported the man.

It was one of the missing soldiers.

"General, I am fooled." The soldier said ashamedly.

Yu Yuanzheng and Grandma Ye also walked in quickly.

"Mrs. Yang, you are so bold that you dare to bring back human medicine." Granny Ye was so angry that she pointed at Granny Yang's nose and cursed her.

Seeing that her love was exposed, Mrs. Yang suddenly burst into tears.

Sit down on the ground.

"Oh my God, this is going to make us all extinct.

Granny Ye, my eldest daughter is already 22 years old, but she hasn’t been scheduled to go up the mountain yet, and my youngest daughter is almost 17 years old.

I don't want to find a solution. My four daughters are about to become old maids.

I don't ask for anything else, just to make my daughter pregnant. We just want his seed. Two days will do. Save you and talk to them. Just two days, two days, or even one day will do."

Mrs. Yang begged with tears and snot.
