After Big Brother Shen knew about the pirates, Yan Bao and Second Brother Shen no longer needed to worry about it.

Brother Shen immediately sent someone to the yamen to call for help. Water bandits have always been a chronic problem in Jingzhou. The suppression of bandits has continued, and there are many major gangs. The Water Snakes are the most arrogant and cunning of these water bandits.

It’s amazing that they are actually merchant ships.

Brother Shen heard that every year there were countless ships that sank on the river. At that time, these were merchant ships of the pirates. When they made a big profit, they would say that the ship had sunk, and there would be no evidence to prove it.

After a few days, we can pull the boat out and catch another batch of fat sheep to slaughter.

But they didn't expect to encounter a tough opponent this time.

Yan Bao knew of their opportunity in advance, and counterattacked, killing everyone in succession.

When the cook named Shi Dangjia was taken away, she glanced at the onlookers with arrogance and complacency, as if what she faced was not imprisonment or beheading, but VIP treatment.

If Yan Bao was there, he would definitely know what was going on.

Unfortunately, at this time, Yan Bao had already boarded the carriage with Second Brother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen, heading to their governor's mansion. Other matters were left to Brother Shen to handle, so that they would not be caught in the wind by the river.

Xu Zhimo's belly was very big. If the baby came a few days later, she would not dare to go out for fear of miscarriage. Her belly was too big and it was very painful for her.

Yan Bao rubbed his little hands, looking like he wanted to touch his belly but didn't dare to.

Xu Zhimo was amused and took her little hand and placed it on her big belly: "It's okay to do it gently. Your big brother touches his belly and plays with them every day."

Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Xu Zhimo's face turned red.

Yan Bao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. They were husband and wife, so it was okay to just touch the belly or even kiss it.

But Second Brother Shen blushed. Is this something he can listen to?

Yan Bao looked at the embarrassed Second Brother Shen and curled his lips: [Second Brother, don't be embarrassed. When you have a wife and children, you will fight with them for food!]

Second Brother Shen frowned and denied it in his heart. It was impossible. How could he snatch food from the child? He was not that kind of person.

Later, it smelled really good.

They soon arrived at the governor's mansion. Yan Bao washed up. Xu Zhimo had already made arrangements and tidied up the room so that they could live there with peace of mind.

After Yan Bao washed and smelled fragrant, he felt much more refreshed. After Zi Yun got down to the ground, he came back to life.

Xu Zhimo heard from Brother Shen's personal servant that Brother Shen had something to deal with and would be back later, so he asked them to eat first and not wait for her.

Xu Zhimo had dinner with Yan Bao and the others. There was a dish of spicy and sour lotus stems, which Yan Bao liked very much. There was also a pork ribs and lotus root soup, which was also good. There was also a dish of steamed saury, and Yan Bao ate three of them by himself.

It was extremely delicious, she had never eaten it before.

Now that he can eat it, Yan Bao is not polite at all.

Second Brother Shen also thought it was delicious: “What kind of fish is this? It tastes great.”

"Knife fish, it's the season to eat this fish recently. You came at the right time. They say they will go back to the sea after a while." Seeing that they liked it, Xu Zhimo asked the kitchen to continue steaming it tomorrow.

Steaming is the best taste.

Xu Zhimo has eaten a lot of fish this year. No matter it is knife fish, guinea pig, or carp, they are all extremely delicious fish. She wanted to send them to the capital for them to try before, but unfortunately they died too easily and it was basically impossible to guarantee their freshness, so she had to give up.

Now that Yan Bao and the others are here, we must give them enough to eat.

Yan Bao nodded happily: [Sister-in-law is so kind, I came at the right time. If I had known there were knife fish here, I should have come earlier!]

Brother Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was so easy to coax.

Master Li and Ziyun had their meal in their own room and also enjoyed the delicious knife fish.

Master Li said he had not come to the wrong place.

If it weren't for their master, they wouldn't have been so confident in dealing with the pirates this time.

It was late at night when Brother Shen came back from his work.

Yan Bao and the others went to bed. Xu Zhimo waited for him until he took a shower, changed his clothes, and ate a bowl of fish noodles. She talked to Brother Shen about the water bandits. They had been thrown into prison and the Protectorate would deal with them.

He was just a governor and had no control over other matters.

As for the ship, it was also sealed by the government. Those people couldn't escape anyway. They committed murder and arson and all kinds of evil. They deserved to be put to death.

Yan Bao slept well all night. No one got a good rest last night because of the pirate incident.

Tonight I went to Brother Shen’s territory in Jingzhou, ate delicious knife fish, and slept until noon.

Xu Zhimo asked with a smile, "How about taking a break?"

Yan Bao smiled and nodded: [Comfortable! ]

"Come and have breakfast. Your elder brother will take you out to play later. It just so happens that he has nothing to do today, so he can accompany you." Xu Zhimo combed Yan Bao's hair.

Yan Bao nodded.

She knew that her sister-in-law was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go out.

She came here just to protect her sister-in-law's belly, how could she be allowed to go out and take risks!

There is a lot of water in Jingzhou, either big rivers or lakes, and there is also the huge Dongting Lake, which is only half a day's journey from here.

Brother Shen knew that they were coming and would definitely go for a stroll in Dongting Lake.

Since the water in the lake is beautiful now, Yan Bao and his friends naturally want to go for a tour.

Xu Zhimo prepared some food for them to take and eat on the boat. When Yan Bao saw that they were all his favorites, his face lit up with joy and he hugged Xu Zhimo's hand and acted coquettishly.

Xu Zhimo smiled and said, "Go play, come back early, and be careful."

Yan Bao nodded.

Brother Shen took them out, left the horses at the dock, and left by boat. Water transportation was much more convenient than land transportation.

Ziyun doesn't like taking a boat ride, so she stays at home and plays.

Yan Bao stood on the deck, looking at the vast expanse of water, happily cracking melon seeds, eating cakes, and enjoying the breeze.
