Chapter 559 They've Turned Against Each Other!
A cold glint flashed in Guzali's eyes, and almost instantly, a poisonous spider silently appeared on her shoulder.
Before the man's hand could even get close, the poisonous spider leaped over and bit the back of his hand.
The obese man gasped and took several steps back.
Guzali turned and left, completely ignoring the man.
The hidden guards in the crowd witnessed this scene and secretly made a note of it.
Mo Bao and Su Bao were resting in their guest room when the guard returned and recounted what he had seen and heard.
Tanlang and Guzanli have fallen out!
This is actually a good thing for them!
After thinking for a moment, Su Bao said, "Big brother, this ship will take more than two months to travel. Let's wait for news from Daddy and the others before we go to find Mommy!"
Mo Bao nodded. All they needed to do for now was follow them and make sure that the Qian family was alright.
Baijiu moved closer to Xiaosubao, took her arm, and said, "Master, I want to go to the deck to see the sea. Will you come with me?"
Baijiu speaks in a sweet, coquettish voice, looking just like a little fox spirit.
Mainly because she's good-looking, has a nice voice, and when she's being coquettish, it's hard to resist her.
Hui'er looked at Su Bao, then at her Baijiu sister, and tilted her head slightly.
Little Su Bao also wanted to go out and have a look. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.
Baijiu personally did Xiaosubao's makeup, and soon a bright and beautiful little face appeared in front of everyone.
Even though it felt like not many parts had been changed, Xiao Su Bao's appearance had changed quite a bit.
When it was Mo Bao's turn, Bai Jiu snorted and painted him as a middle-aged man, even making his neck and hands look much older.
Mo Bao didn't care much about these things. After changing his clothes, he followed them to the deck.
The large ship has six decks in total. The watchtower is on the top deck, and the next deck is a stable where some horses and camels are kept.
Xiao Su Bao and the others lived under the stable. There were many rooms there, and quite a few people lived there. They were probably still curious because they had just boarded the ship.
They went up to the deck, their eyes fixed on the increasingly distant dock.
Gradually, all that came into view was the boundless ocean.
The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and seabirds occasionally flew by.
This was the first time Little Su Bao had seen the sea like this. She was also curious about the damp, salty smell.
At that moment, she seemed to sense something.
The little girl stood on the deck, looked up, and saw a face.
That was the masked face of Tanlang. He glanced at Xiaosubao indifferently, then stepped aside.
Qian was right behind him, and she looked to be in good health.
"They're down there!"
Greedy Wolf spoke to the Qian family behind him.
Madam Qian quickly looked outside and immediately spotted Xiao Su Bao and Mo Bao in the crowd.
The two little ones changed their appearance and looked safe and sound.
Ms. Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then whispered, "When can I finally leave?"
Tanlang paused slightly, then said, "Wait until Tang Bugui arrives in the Western Regions!"
Ms. Qian frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Junior Brother, what exactly are you trying to do? Why have you changed so much?"
Qian closed the window and turned to look at Tanlang in front of her.
Tanlang was silent for a moment, then said, "I need to find my daughter!"
Tanlang looked at Qian Shi with a hint of pain and regret in his eyes.
His daughter is only about ten years old now, I wonder how she is doing!
"Daughter?" Madam Qian was slightly taken aback, clearly shocked by Tanlang's words.
When did my junior brother get married?
Could it be that after the junior brother disappeared back then, he got married?
Qian was silent for a moment before he heard Tanlang's voice continue. At this moment, his expression had returned to its usual coldness.
"Don't worry, you and Su Bao will be fine. The higher-ups promised me that as long as I complete this mission, they will let me see my daughter. Junior Sister, I'm begging you this once!"
Qian remained silent, her heart filled with complex emotions.
If it were just her, she would be willing to take the risk, even to save her senior brother's child.
But Su Bao, Mo Bao, and their uncle are all innocent.
The Qian family couldn't stand by and watch so many people get hurt.
After a moment of silence, Madam Qian still did not say what she wanted to say.
At that moment on the deck, Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
It's good that Mom is alright!
The little girl lay on the deck, raised her eyes, and reluctantly looked away from the window.
Her gaze fell upon the distant sea.
At that moment, fish suddenly leaped up and danced on the shimmering blue sea.
There were so many fish that it looked quite spectacular.
Little Su Bao suddenly realized something and paused slightly.
She pulled Mo Bao back two steps quietly.
Sure enough, after they retreated, the leaping fish fell into the water and slowly disappeared.
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Baijiu, standing to the side, was practically drooling at the sight of so many fish.
They can take care of their own food and drink on the ship, or they can go to the restaurant on the third floor.
Eating there costs money, and it can be quite expensive.
The guest room they stayed in didn't have a kitchenette, so they couldn't cook for themselves, which was a bit of a hassle.
Fortunately, the people on the ship didn't have to eat outside at first.
Everyone brought their own food; otherwise, they would have spent a lot of money on food along the way.
It was Xiao Su Bao's first time riding on such a big ship, so she was naturally very curious.
They weren't short of money, so they went to a restaurant for their first meal.
There weren't many people in the restaurant at the moment, and the waiters and chefs weren't busy either.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao and the others arrive, everyone became more enthusiastic.
"Today the kitchen is making sweet and sour fish balls, fish soup... stir-fried vegetables, and..."
The waiter ordered seven or eight dishes, the most expensive of which was stir-fried greens.
Xiao Su Bao and the others weren't picky about food, and everyone ordered some meat dishes to eat.
Just then, more people entered the restaurant.
It was Guzali!
She brought two maids with her to eat.
The most luxurious room upstairs originally had its own kitchenette.
Unfortunately, they were driven out by Tanlang and had no choice but to eat at the restaurant.
Fortunately, there aren't many people here.
Gu Zanli glanced at Xiao Su Bao and the others.
When his gaze fell on Xiao Su Bao and Hui Er, his eyes lit up slightly.
She was, after all, a saintess, so she did have some abilities.
She actually got up from her seat and came to Xiao Su Bao and the others.
Su Bao immediately tensed up.
Did Guzali discover their identities?
Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips, appearing calm and collected on the surface, but her heart was clenching with nervousness.
Gu Zanli stood not far from their table, her eyes fixed on Xiao Su Bao.
"Young lady, I feel we are destined to meet, so I'll give you a talisman!"
Guzali smiled, but the smile didn't quite reach her eyes.
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback, clearly not expecting what Gu Zan Li was going to do.
However, the little girl knew what was going on when Guzali took out the amulet.
This Guzali actually wants to steal my luck.
This amulet is exactly the same as the one I saw on Wang Youyou.
The aura above all comes from the same person.
The little girl squinted her eyes, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.
"My mother said that you shouldn't take other people's things without permission..."
Gu Zanli frowned slightly, about to speak, when she heard Xiao Su Bao continue, "But sister is really pretty, she must be a good person!"
As the little girl spoke, she reached out and took the amulet.
Gu Zanli paused slightly upon hearing Xiao Su Bao's words.
A good person?
She never considered herself a good person.
As the Holy Maiden of the Western Regions, her mission is to make the Western Regions Kingdom strong.
Make women and men stand in the same position.
So none of that matters to me!
"You girls are all quite good, so let's each have one!"
As Gu Zanli spoke, she also brought over the white wine and Hui'er.
Bai Jiu looked a little upset. Sure enough, this woman was a bad guy!
"Oh my, ma'am, you're so generous! I know you're a customer, but I would have thought you were a talisman vendor!"
"Speaking of which, if these amulets were so easy to obtain, they probably wouldn't guarantee safety. My sister and I are timid, so we won't use yours, Auntie. You should keep them for yourself, since you produce them yourself..."
Baijiu's words were somewhat venomous, and his beautiful fox-like eyes swept over Gu Zanli from head to toe.
Finally, he shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.
Gu Zanli's face was gloomy. For some reason, she didn't like this little girl at first sight.
Too glamorous, she looks like a little vixen.
Disgusting!
Xiao Su Bao suppressed a laugh and reached out to tug at the bottle of white wine beside her. They couldn't afford to anger Gu Zanli right now.
The little girl pouted, a hint of disdain in her eyes, but this time she remained silent.
"Sorry, my sister is a bit too straightforward. Please don't be angry, young lady!"
Little Su Bao said obediently to Gu Zanli.
Guzali's complexion didn't improve much.
However, the way he looked at Xiao Su Bao had improved a lot.
"You brat, if you can't speak, then shut your mouth!"
Guzali said in a sinister tone, her eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Baijiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
She could only hum in response and obediently stand beside Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Please don't be angry, young lady. I made this sachet myself. If you don't mind, consider it a return gift!" Xiao Su Bao took the sachet from her waist and handed it over.
Gu Zanli raised an eyebrow, her fondness for Xiao Su Bao growing even stronger.
She decided that once she had drained Xiao Su Bao's luck, she could keep her by her side as a maid, which would be a fair treatment for her.
Gu Zanli glanced at the sachet; the scent inside was quite pleasant—it was the fragrance of osmanthus.
She is skilled in medicine and is naturally very sensitive to things like poisons.
Seeing that it was just an ordinary osmanthus sachet, Guzali put it away immediately.
"Hmm, you're quite a nice young lady," Guzanli said, returning to her seat.
The food arrived shortly afterward, and Guzali ate it with some disdain.
Xiao Su Bao and the others, on the other hand, ate very slowly and attentively.
When faced with food, they seemed to have a strange kind of piety.
Guzali glanced at them briefly before leaving.
After Gu Zanli left, Xiao Su Bao and Mo Bao exchanged a glance and finished eating the rice and meat in their bowls.
On the boat, fish is the cheapest food, but vegetables are the most expensive.
The meal cost twenty taels of silver for just a few people.
That's a lot of money.
Watching Gu Zanli leave, Bai Jiu looked at Xiao Su Bao with a pitiful expression.
"Master, that woman is wicked!"
Baijiu gripped Xiaosubao's sleeve tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, looking extremely pitiful.
Hui'er stood aside, looking at Sister Baijiu and then at her own young lady, feeling that Sister Baijiu had become too idle and had changed.
But she didn't know how her sister had changed.
The little girl was too young to understand at all.
Once they were back in their rooms, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They booked all six rooms, front, back, left, and right.
Two guards stood on either side, Mo Bao was opposite, and another room was for Bai Jiu and Hui'er.
But Baijiu wouldn't leave even at night, insisting on sleeping with Subao.
Su Bao had no choice but to sleep with Hui'er and Baijiu. Fortunately, none of the three girls were fat, so they could sleep comfortably on the narrow bed.
As night deepened, the ship suddenly became quieter.
The ship continued to sail, and no one noticed the figures climbing onto it.
Tang Bugui, Bai Yinjun, and Wang Mingtian had the little white dragon submerged in the water not far away.
Taking advantage of the fact that the moon was obscured by dark clouds, they came up.
They headed to the guest rooms on the fourth floor.
When I got to Xiao Su Bao's house, I knocked gently on the door.
Little Su Bao opened the door, her clothes still on.
Tang Bugui paused slightly when he saw Xiao Su Bao's face, almost not recognizing his daughter.
But he noticed his daughter's eyes immediately.
Several people entered the house.
Wang Mingtian's gaze swept over them, finally settling on Baijiu and Hui'er.
He was fine when he saw Hui'er, but when he saw the baijiu, Wang Mingtian frowned slightly.
"Old man, what are you worried about?" Bai Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Mingtian with hostility.
Tang Bugui stood protectively in front of his daughter, his gaze towards Baijiu filled with a hint of wariness.
Bai Yinjun, for some reason, felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw Bai Jiu.
But...that's not the point...
The boy had grown tall and strong, with a hint of anger on his handsome face.
"Little Su Bao, where are those bad guys? Where did they take Aunt Qian?"
Bai Yinjun was bullied by other children when he was a child. Once, when Qian saw it, she called those children over and gave them a good beating.
Later, Bai Yinjun gradually became more and more ruthless, becoming the king of the children, and together with Tang Xin, they became the little tyrants of the village.
The boy was extremely anxious about Qian's arrest.
"They're on the top floor now, and I saw... someone from the Yama's Palace!"
Little Su Bao had seen Tan Lang before, but what happened today...
The little girl's brows furrowed again.
