After Dale's last military suppression, no one dared to raise any opinions on his favored Yang Kexin, but in private, the pirates' complaints were even heavier, but no one dared to raise them to him again.

After a few months of study, Su Qiubai can now basically understand Darler's usual English conversations, but Dalle doesn't know this, so he never shy away from Su Qiubai when discussing things with the pirate leaders.

He never forgot that his other important task was to find the charts of the ghost sea. Charts are generally in the hands of the navy, and pirates are no exception, so Su Qiubai knew that Turner, the chief of the sea affairs, must have charts in his hands.

But how to get the charts from him is also a problem, and he also thought about stealing them directly, but he didn't know where Turner would put the charts, so he stole them with a black eye, not to mention the time and effort, and it was very likely to expose his tracks. So he decided to find an opportunity to get close to Turner and see if there was a chance to do it.

On this day, Su Qiubai followed Dahler to a meeting with several chief officials, and was about to leave with him, but when he left, he saw that Turner was walking a little staggering, as if he was enduring the pain.

Su Qiubai knew at a glance that Turner's left leg had arthritis, and the situation was already relatively strict. It is thought that because he has been fighting at sea all year round and is often attacked by moisture, it is not surprising that he has this disease.

This was a good opportunity to get close to him, so Su Qiubai deliberately asked, "Arthritis?" ”

Among the people present, only the financial officer Feng Junjie could understand his words, so he asked, "Yes, Turner has arthritis, do you know medical skills?" ”

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "I understand a little, looking at his situation, this condition seems to be quite serious." ”

Turner heard the conversation between the two, and although he couldn't understand it, he could see that they were talking about himself, so he asked Feng Junjie, "What did you say?" ”

Feng Junjie told him about Su Qiubai's question about his condition, Turner frowned, and immediately didn't plan to leave, and asked Su Qiubai: "Why are you asking this?" Is there a cure for my illness? ”

His left leg had been afflicted by arthritis for many years, and since he had contracted it a few years ago, he had not had the opportunity to recuperate, but often had to go to sea to fight, and the wind and humidity affected the condition to become more and more serious. Recently, he has even struggled to walk, and he is worried that in the long run, his left leg will be useless, and in that case, he will not be able to do it as a sea officer.

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "I have a little research on acupuncture, and I may be able to heal his leg." ”

When Feng Junjie heard this, he translated his words to Turner, and added: "Acupuncture is a medical technique in Huaxia, and it has a good effect on some incurable diseases, you can let him give it a try." ”

Turner, who was also a dead horse at this time, said to Dalle: "Scott, I want to borrow this man and use it to heal my leg for me, and I will return it to you when I am finished." ”

It's just to borrow a bodyguard for him temporarily, and Dale naturally won't have any opinions, so he just agreed.

Su Qiubai went home to get his silver needle, and followed Turner to his house with Xiaofeng.

In fact, acupuncture cannot cure arthritis, Su Qiubai said this just to have a chance to get close to Turner, and if he wants to cure Turner, he still needs to use his true qi.

Su Qiubai pretended to use a silver needle to prick a few acupuncture points on Turner's legs, and then secretly. The True Qi was passed into Turner's body along the silver needle, eliminating the inflammation in his joints and helping him repair the damaged parts of his bones. Doing this consumed a lot of his true qi, so even Su Qiubai was not easy to do, and it didn't take long for cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

Turner asked Xiaofeng to ask Su Qiubai for him: "I feel that my joints are hot, is acupuncture working?" ”

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "That's right, because I have a lot of acupuncture points for you, you may be in a coma for a while, but it doesn't matter, you'll be fine when you wake up." ”

Although Turner was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was not familiar with Su Qiubai at all, in case he took advantage of his coma to murder himself, then he really had no way at all. But it was already too late to terminate the treatment, not to mention that he would rather take the risk in order to heal his leg. In addition, Su Qiubai had no grievances with him, and there was no reason to harm him, so he simply didn't say anything.

In fact, the so-called coma was just Su Qiubai fooling him, and stabbing a few acupoints on his legs would not make people faint, but Su Qiubai deliberately knocked him unconscious in order to create an opportunity to find the chart.

After Turner fell asleep, Su Qiubai said to Xiaofeng: "I'm going to find something at Turner's house, you watch him here, if he suddenly wakes up, just say I'm going to the toilet." ”

After explaining, Su Qiubai went to Turner's house to rummage around.

As one of the best characters in the Sierra Saint, Turner's residence is also very luxurious, Su Qiubai rummaged around for a long time, but he didn't find a trace of the chart, time passed little by little, and there was not much time left before Turner woke up.

Su Qiubai used to think that this chart was not a secret thing to the pirates of the Sera Saint, after all, they often had to go to sea to fight, and it was impossible to move an inch without the chart. But when I came here, I found that only a few people had seen this chart, and in the event of war, Turner, the maritime chief, would personally follow the pirate army and show them the way, without showing them the chart. This is also for security reasons, because the pirates at the bottom have not seen the charts of the ghost sea, so they have no way to escape from the Serra Saint without permission, let alone leak the charts to outsiders.

It seemed that Turner would not hide the chart in such an easy place to find, Su Qiubai glanced around at a loss, but was attracted by an oil painting hanging on the wall. The painting hangs on the wall next to the staircase, and the content of the painting is nothing special, just a sailboat floating in the middle of a vast ocean, the composition is simple, the colors are bright, and nothing else.

He didn't study the painting much, and he couldn't see what the painting expressed, and he didn't care about it. The painting appealed to him not because of its content, but because of the thickness of its frame.

Su Qiubai has also seen a lot of oil paintings hanging on the wall, some large and some small, but the thickness of the frame is often proportional to the size of the painting. The frame of the painting in front of me is obviously much thicker than normal, and it looks like the thickness of two paintings stacked on top of each other.

Su Qiubai directly stepped forward and reached out to take off the painting, put it on the ground and fiddled with it, and soon he found that the frame was indeed double-layered. And when he lifted the first painting, he was immediately surprised and delighted, because there was a nautical chart hidden behind the oil painting!

After a cursory glance, Su Qiubai knew that it was the chart of the ghost sea area, and he was not polite, he directly cut off the chart, folded it and put it in his pocket, and then hung the picture back on the wall as it was.

He guessed that Turner wouldn't normally look at this chart, because there must be more than that. Turner usually had to command naval battles, and it would be too inconvenient to go home and look at the charts every time he made a route, so he must have another one in his hand, and this one at home was mostly spare.

With the commonly used chart intact, Turner would never have thought of looking at this spare chart, so Su Qiubai directly took it with confidence.

After finding the chart, Su Qiubai returned to Turner, and when he saw that he hadn't woken up yet, he woke him up directly.

"Well, your leg doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" Su Qiubai asked with a smile.

Turner tried to stretch his leg, then walked out of bed a few steps in disbelief, and found that his left leg was more comfortable than ever, which was clearly a feeling of recovery!

"This ...... It's amazing! How did you kid do that? Turner asked incredulously.

Su Qiubai shrugged his shoulders, pointed to his silver needle, and said, "It's just that I pricked you with a few acupuncture points with a silver needle." ”

Turner kept muttering "It's amazing", walking around the room happily, completely forgetting to think about what Su Qiubai had done during the time he was unconscious.

"I must thank you well, say, what do you want?" Turner's gratitude was sincere, because this arthritis really bothered him for a long time, and he didn't even have hope, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be cured.

Su Qiubai thought for a while and said, "I'll treat you for nothing else, the price is clearly marked, two million." ”

Turner was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. Su Qiubai helped him so much, he could have asked him for better things or more money, but he didn't expect him to only need two million, it seems that Dale told him well before, this kid is not small, but he only has money in his eyes, he hasn't seen much of the world, and he doesn't know how much to ask for money.

"No problem, I'll write you a check, you go to Feng to get the money, and say that it will be deducted directly from my share." As he spoke, Turner went to get a check and signed one for Su Qiubai.

The cheque he was talking about was not the kind that could be used in the bank, but a kind of cheque that could only be used in Serra, and was used to disburse money from Feng Junjie. Occupy.

After Su Qiubai collected the check, he was about to take Xiaofeng back to Dale's house, and in order to express his gratitude, Turner specially sent someone to send them back in his own car.

Now that the most important chart has arrived, Su Qiubai has no other worries, just waiting for the conflict between Dale and the pirates to break out, and he can return to the Guardian Naval District to resume his life.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Kexin has been "pregnant" for seven months, during which she has to toss every now and then, and the pirates who have already made her complain, and their patience with her has reached the limit.

Recently, Dale has been running to Mossa frequently, and he doesn't know what he is discussing, but Su Qiubai knows that he has noticed that the pirates have different intentions towards him, and he is afraid that he will soon start to deal with this matter.
