Bai Tuantuan rushed over and snatched the knife from Nan Nian's hand: "Aunt, let's solve this together, don't be impulsive!"
"Even if it involves killing, let your uncle do it! You, a weak woman, cannot put yourself in such danger!"
Chen Xiaoran quickly hugged Nan Nian, his eyes filled with heartache: "Yes, let my second brother and sister-in-law go."
Chen Yijun, Rong Manyi: ? ? ?
He really is their good older brother!
Chen Xingfeng ran over, still not fully dressed, panting as he looked at Nan Nian in Chen Xiaoran's arms: "Mother..."
His trembling voice betrayed his anxiety: "Father? What's wrong?"
"It's alright." Chen Xiaoran looked at Bai Tuantuan. "Tuantuan, let your aunt get some sleep."
"OK."
Bai Tuantuan took out silver needles and pricked Nan Nian's head a few times. Nan Nian then fell asleep immediately.
After Chen Xiaoran placed her on the bed, the others came out.
"Brother, what's wrong with sister-in-law?" Bai Haotian asked疑惑地, "Did something happen to her when she left the island?"
Tie Guo recounted what had happened that evening: "What exactly happened between Nian'er and Ni Yiguo?"
"It seems they've found it." Chen Xiaoran sighed and said slowly, "I didn't want you to worry about this, but since things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you."
"When the King of Ni Yi Kingdom fell seriously ill, he invited people from the Divine Physician Valley to treat him. That's when I met Nian'er."
"But what I didn't expect was that after I stayed there for three years to help the king with his health, one day when I went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, I saw Nian'er running towards me frantically, and the Black Hawk team behind her."
“Ni Yiguo’s Black Hawk Team?” Bai Hanri frowned and said slowly, “Legend has it that Ni Yiguo’s Black Hawk Team serves the royal family.”
“That’s right, the king wants to give Nian’er to his minister.” Chen Xiaoran frowned, still finding it unbelievable as he recalled that incident.
"General Ni Yiguo took a liking to Nian'er and demanded that she marry him. If it were just marriage, that would be fine, but the general meant that Nian'er would be a member of the army from then on."
"It's like being a military prostitute."
"They've gone too far!" Chen Xingfeng stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with grief and indignation.
Chen Xiaoran pursed his lips: "After I saved Nian'er once, I asked her why, and she told me everything, but I didn't believe her."
At this point, Chen Xiaoran's eyes were filled with regret.
"As a father, how could I let my daughter marry such a person? But what I didn't expect was that I only went out of the city to pick some herbs, and I heard about Nian'er's marriage. When I arrived at the general's mansion, I saw Nian'er, wearing a red wedding dress, being torn apart by more than a dozen big men."
“I used a trick to rescue Nian’er, and then left with her without paying any more attention to the king.”
"The Shadow Team relentlessly pursued us, and it took us a year to shake them off and return to the Chen family. With the help of her parents, Nian'er quickly regained her true nature."
"What I didn't expect was that, just when I thought Ni Yiguo's people had given up, they suddenly came looking for Nian'er again?"
“Because Ni Yiguo has had no descendants all these years,” Bai Yuanzhi said. “In recent years, they have been constantly fighting among themselves. My sister-in-law’s brother became the king, but he still couldn’t have a daughter. And those people are only interested in princesses and look down on other women, so… they thought of my sister-in-law.”
"What a beast!"
"Then let's take them all in one go!"
Bai Tuantuan's words were exceptionally clear, and everyone looked over to see her say in a serious tone, "They treat girls like dirt! Why don't they go and keep those ministers company themselves? This kind of country shouldn't exist, it should be destroyed!"
Everyone fell silent.
At this moment, Bai Han and the others arrived.
How is Nian'er?
"Grandfather, the people of Ni Yiguo have gone too far! Let's ask the Emperor to send troops!" Bai Tuantuan tugged at Bai Han's sleeve, her little face full of anger. "It's all their fault! My aunt is already so happy, but they just had to ruin it!"
Bai Han sighed: "Ni Yiguo is not a strong country, but their location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our emperor can't do anything about them!"
"However, Nian'er is our daughter-in-law, we can't let anyone bully her."
Bai Han stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll handle this matter. You all focus on building the island and don't go out unless necessary."
With that, Bai Han walked toward the study.
Bai Ze patted Chen Xiaoran on the shoulder: "I'll go discuss it with my father."
Bai Tuantuan nodded quickly: "Fourth Uncle is the smartest, Fourth Uncle will definitely have a way!"
"Oh, you little rascal!" Bai Haotian snorted. "Am I not smart enough, your seventh uncle?"
Bai Tuantuan said in a serious tone, "Seventh Uncle, that's not right of you. What time is it? You're still trying to outsmart Fourth Uncle. Obviously, you're not as smart as Fourth Uncle."
Bai Haotian: ……
In the study, Bai Han frowned and asked, "What do you think about Ni Yiguo's matter?"
"Take it."
"You silly child..." Bai Han couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you imitating Tuantuan?"
Bai Zeyi laughed as well: "I think you're right, Tuantuan. A country like this shouldn't exist."
"Yes, but you know Ni Yiguo's location is surrounded by the sea, just like this isolated island."
"Father, Haotian has begun training the naval forces. I think it won't be long before Ni Yiguo is conquered."
Bai Han nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave this to you."
"There's another letter; take a look at it too."
"From the capital?"
Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.
After opening it and glancing at it, he smiled: "Xingfeng and Lingfeng are also going to the capital for the imperial examination, so they can go together."
"You can arrange it yourself."
Bai Han said calmly, "This time when we return to the capital, Father will no longer hold that position."
Bai Ze pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand what Father means. Father, you are also afraid that your achievements will overshadow the emperor."
"Yes, although His Majesty has been very kind to our Bai family and trusts us a lot, we don't know how long that trust will last. So, leaving now is better for both me and His Majesty."
Iron Pot, who was eavesdropping, frowned and looked at Bai Tuantuan, saying, "It's really tiring to scheme like this. How about this, let's just take down the Emperor as well, and cook him ourselves?"
“The royal family is heartless.” Bai Tuantuan wrinkled her nose. “I don’t want that.”
Iron Pot shrugged: "Alright, I'm going to sleep now."
Before dawn the next day, Bai Tuantuan sensed the fluctuation of vital energy and quickly rushed out of the gate to the outside of the city.
The isolated island was surrounded by walls, and above the walls were white, swirling protective shields of vital energy.
Bai Tuantuan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the men in black below.
"It's the Black Hawks." Iron Pot appeared out of nowhere, his brow furrowed. "How did they find this place?"
Bai Tuantuan and the iron pot exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
She reinforced the Bagua formation outside, making it impossible for ordinary people to find their way.
The captain and his crew, on the other hand, had a route map provided by her.
Could it be...?
Bai Tuantuan suddenly looked up, and sure enough!
They tied Captain He up!
