Chapter 387 Gastrodia elata ran away!

It's so scary when my brother gets angry.

However, she had to say, "Brother, you are wrong. Mother was not abducted. She helped us abduct a governor! Not only do we have a mother who loves us, but we will also have a father who will take care of us in the future. What's wrong with that?"

These words left Dabao and Erbao stunned. When Jiang Lianzhu told them about her relationship with Liao Jiu, the first thing they thought of was that their mother had been kidnapped.

I subconsciously felt some resistance in my heart.

But Nanbao actually thought the opposite of what they thought. Did her mother kidnap a governor for them?

Erbao thought about it and said, "Brother, what Nanbao said seems to make some sense."

Nanbao continued, "That's right. Mother couldn't possibly abandon us. Father treats us very well too. No one has ever said he doesn't want us! Xueda and the others haven't done anything wrong. They're just being naughty and playful. Big brother, please, don't be angry, okay?"

Dabao remained unmoved.

However, the force of the ruler was still much lighter.

"I'm talking about just in case. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. The most reliable person in the world is ourselves. No matter how powerful others are, we are not as strong as ourselves. If you make a mistake, you must learn from it so that you will be more careful and won't make the same mistake again next time."

Nanbao pouted and said bitterly, "Okay, okay, big brother, you are right. When you hit Xue San, can you be a little gentler..."

Before Xue Er even started getting beaten, he was already clinging to his master Er Bao's legs and started howling, meaning that he wanted Er Bao to plead for him...

This look made Erbao feel no sympathy for it even though he wanted to.

It seems like this snow wolf deserves a beating.

It was he who took the lead in causing this matter. Could it be that it was because of his nature of liking to stir up trouble?

Well, that's absolutely impossible!

Jiang Yue has become much more mature and stable.

***

In the cabin, Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu were left talking.

Liao Jiu said, "I just had a discussion with Xiang Zuo. We can't let this water monster linger on this waterway. It will definitely harm countless people. We didn't know about it before, but now we know. We must find someone to eliminate it. We can't allow a beast to endanger the safety of the people of Da'an."

Jiang Lianzhu pursed her lips. "We have to come prepared, otherwise we'll have to feed it. If I hadn't deterred it with mines and bombs this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten away unscathed today. If that doesn't work, we can wait until we're free someday and come back to deal with it."

Killing a vicious creature like this is to eliminate harm to the people.

They are all intelligent beasts. Neither Xue Da nor Cheng Feng will harm people. They are only wild, not vicious.

This water snake eats people. They saw it eat the two assassins with their own eyes. They fell into the water and their bodies did not float up. The captain burned incense and prayed for it to pray for safety. In the past, ships passing through here often had accidents... This is a vicious beast.

Liao Jiu looked out the window of his room. Outside, the river roared. He said coldly, "We're both busy right now. I'll have Xiang Zuo notify the local state government to send someone to clean it up. We can't let it harm people any more."

"Okay." They had more important and difficult things to do.

As they were about to arrive in the capital, her heartstrings became tighter and tighter.

The underwater assassination didn’t work today. I don’t know if there is any backup plan.

Jiang Lianzhu asked again, "Where is Mao Shurong? Is he alright?"

"It's okay. We have shadow guards guarding us. During the assassination, the assassins couldn't even find his location. When the water monster was rampaging, they were not affected at all."

"That's good."

The two were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "Come in."

Push the door to the left and enter, "Master..."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something important to report.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu asked, "You're going to get busy?"

Liao Jiu remained calm and said to Xiang Zuo, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to avoid Doctor Jiang."

"Yes," Xiang Zuo took out a small roll of letters, "This is the pigeon letter I just received from Xiang Xi."

Jiang Lianzhu asked curiously, "Can we still receive pigeon messages while we're on the boat?"

"Well, there are specially trained carrier pigeons that don't look for delivery points at fixed locations, but rather by smell. We stayed in Chubei Prefecture for two days, and just now we stayed on the river for a few hours. The carrier pigeons can catch up with the smell here." Liao Jiu patiently explained to her.

Jiang Lianzhu suddenly understood.

Liao Jiu didn't read the letter and asked Xiang Zuodao, "What does the letter say?"

Xiang Zuohui, "Xiang Xi said that the Tianma ginseng harvest in Aquarius failed and ran away!"

"Why?"

"Master, please read it yourself." Xiang Zuo handed the letter to Liao Jiu.

There were some densely written words on it.

The more Liao Jiu looked, the deeper his frown became.

It was written on it that because the Second Princess's mechanical magic failed, the Gastrodia elata ginseng was scared away. Xiangxi and his men were unable to catch up, and they were not sure if it was Gastrodia elata ginseng because it grew on cliffs and they were not allowed to get too close. Not many people went there, and they watched from afar. Doctor Zhang pointed to a plant that looked like a carrot leaf and said that it was Gastrodia elata ginseng. The Second Princess used mechanical magic to get it, but before she got close, the thing disappeared.

Doctor Zhang then accused the Second Princess of being incompetent and scaring off the Gastrodia elata ginseng. They searched the cliffs and couldn't find another one. The Second Princess refused to accept this, and the two of them started a quarrel. She fell off a cliff and broke her leg. She then blamed the Six Gates for not being able to catch the Gastrodia elata ginseng, which had caused her injury.

After returning to the inn, Doctor Zhang went to find the young prince of the Zhan Wang family and wanted to imprison the culprit, the Second Princess. The Six Gates protected the Second Princess. It was not up to the young master of a foreign king to decide whether she was guilty or not. They escorted the Second Princess and Doctor Zhang back to the capital. They were already on the way and might reach the capital before Liao Jiu and the others.

The letter also reminded Liao Jiu to be more careful. Doctor Zhang and the Second Princess both had strong opinions about Liao Jiu's leaving without permission. They both wrote letters back to the capital to complain to Emperor Xuan.

Also, Xiangxi said that he left his men in Aquarius Country to find the whereabouts of the fairy grass, and any news would be reported back to the capital.

…

After reading it, Liao Jiu tore the letter into pieces and sneered, "It's quite interesting that the young prince of the Zhan family has gotten involved."

Xiang Zuodao said, "Master, if we had successfully collected the Gastrodia elata ginseng, it would have been fine. But now that it has escaped, those people will definitely exaggerate it in front of the emperor. Then..."

If Emperor Xuan blames us, we will be in trouble.

Liao Jiu's expression was indifferent. "It's okay, go down."

Xiang Zuo was helpless. He looked at his master and Doctor Jiang who had been silent beside him, and went out.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't know the cause of the incident and didn't want to interrupt. After Xiang Zuo walked away, Jiang Lianzhu asked what was going on.
