To the southeast of Qingzhou, due south of Youchuan, is a sea called Yangxue Sea.

Because of the high sunshine and suitable temperature all year round, although it is warm in winter, you can occasionally see snow, so it is called Yangxue Sea.

There are many islands in the Yangxue Sea, and there are not many people who can live there. Among them, Haolang Island, Zhaolan Island, and Shuangduo Island have high terrain and have become the preferred territory for pirates. And, the first destination of Gu Lingjin and the others was a small town on the shore of Yangxue Sea-Beetle Town.

It is rumored that in ancient times, this place had frequent floods, and then there were beetles and snakes to suppress here, and the people got a place to live, so it was called Beetle Town.

After a few days of hurrying, the army led by Gu Lingjin finally arrived at the town, and after the army was stationed, Gu Lingjin began to look for the person in charge of the town. The other party may also be waiting for Gu Lingjin's arrival, so before the people sent by Gu Lingjin left the barracks, someone told them to see Gu Lingjin.

"Please come in."

Gu Lingjin soon met Qi Dianzheng, the magistrate of this town, and Shan Yuxin, the guard general in the army.

"It's hard work for the two adults to go on a trip."

"General Gu is also bumpy all the way."

Qi Dian is an elegant middle-aged man, while Shan Yuxin is a rough man.

When these two people saw Gu Lingjin, they were really surprised, after all, Gu Lingjin was really very young, could he really solve the problem of this pirate? Both men had some suspicions.

However, this Qi Dianzheng still reacted immediately and said.

"Let's not be polite, let's ask the two adults to tell me about the sea. I'm sure you know more about these things than I do. ”

Gu Lingjin understood that these two people must have felt that they were too young. But this matter has nothing to do with age, although I can prove it, but now is not the time to prove it, I need to hurry up and solve the pirate matter, otherwise there may be some troublesome things.

"Alas, okay."

At first, it was Qi Dianzheng who spoke, but when he began to introduce the current situation, it became Shan Yuxin.

Shan Yuxin didn't match his current appearance very well when he spoke, because everything that happened was very clear, as well as some unexpected situations that might occur.

"I don't know if there is anything else you want to add to the Qi County Order?"

Gu Lingjin thought that Shan Yuxin was very detailed, but he thought that Qi Dianzheng would definitely have some points that Shan Yuxin didn't know, so he was looking forward to Qi Dianzheng being able to say something he didn't know.

"This one is natural." Qi Dianzheng nodded and said.

"I would like to add some things about the people. Recently, the war against pirates has been failing, and the other party has robbed the people of money, silver, food, and even some women, which makes the people of our town very afraid of pirates, in fact, this is not an accident. But after a few defeats, our guards have begun to be a little timid. ”

"That's right, I also have a deep feeling about this. Although the soldiers were very heroic, there were also many people who were really scared. After listening to Qi Dianzheng's words, Shan Yuxin also added helplessly.

"If that's the case, then the first thing we need to do is to boost morale." After listening to the words of these two people, Gu Lingjin said. "I wonder if there were any pirates who came to make a nuisance before I came?"

"It's winter at the moment, and although our sea of snow and sun is like spring all year round, there is still snow. Therefore, they don't come out often, and the previous frequency was about half a month. I guess it will take a few days. ”

Shan Yuxin thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I see. Let's go back and rest first, and I'll have to trouble you two later when I have a plan. ”

Qi Dian was saying "yes, yes" to Shan Yuxin, and then left quickly.

"Yuan Ning, you go and invite a few generals to come and discuss the war with me."

"Yes."

Mo Xiao didn't appear by Gu Lingjin's side all the time at this time, but decided to go to the town for a walk. With such a big place, there might be some unexpected discoveries.

"Uncle. I would like to ask where you collect these things from in your business? ”

Mo Xiao looked at the old man in a stall selling medicinal herbs, and the quality was still very good. There are so many medicinal herbs on such a seaside, could it be said that it is the outskirts of this town?

"It's around here." The old man glanced at Mo Xiao and said. "You're not from our town, are you?"

"yes. I'm not from here. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said. You should know that our army of Flame Sun has arrived, and when you destroy those pirates, your life will be relatively peaceful. ”

"So, you're in the military?"

The old man looked at Mo Xiao and asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm a military doctor with the army. It's really nice to see your herbs, so I want to buy some from you. ”

Mo Xiao didn't hesitate at all, and told his identity.

"However, I'm still interested in some fresh herbs, can you tell me where to collect them?" Otherwise, you can take me with you, and you can collect the herbs I need, and then I can pay you money. ”

"This, can I think about it?"

After hearing Mo Xiao's words, the old man said hesitantly.

"Of course there's no problem with that. Okay, I'll come back to you tomorrow and tell me the answer then, okay? ”

"Okay."

Mo Xiao saw that he had decided on a matter, and he was still very happy in his heart. Later, he found that the old man left quickly, and seeing such a situation, Mo Xiao's heart still felt quite interesting.

"I really don't know if this is the fish I want."

When Mo Xiao returned to the barracks, he saw the departing guards and county commanders. It seems that Gu Lingjin already knows something, and when he just wanted to go to Gu Lingjin, he was stopped by Yuan Ning.

"The young master is discussing things with those generals, and it's inconvenient for you to go in now."

"Okay, then I'll go out and play, and I'll come back to the young master in the evening." Mo Xiao understands this. "Do you remember to ask the young master to leave me a little time, okay?"

"Okay."

Yuan Ning thought that Mo Xiao must also have something to inform Gu Lingjin, but because Gu Lingjin was discussing things with other generals now, he moved the matter to the evening.

Mo Xiao saw that he couldn't solve the problem in a hurry, so he gave up studying this problem. Instead, he turned around and went to find the herbs nearby that the old man had said. As a result, I really found some, but none of them were what I had seen before.

By the way, I dug up some soil and went back to study it.

At night, Gu Lingjin had just finished talking about the matter with the generals who came with him, when he heard Yuan Ning's announcement, saying that Mo Xiao had come to look for him, saying that he had something to look for him.

When Gu Lingjin went to look for Mo Xiao, he found that Mo Xiao himself was actually playing with dirt, and he didn't know what this person had found. Could it be that it was the large-scale poisoning that happened before?

"Mo Xiao, I heard Yuan Ning say that you have something to look for me, what is the matter?"

"Young master, wait for me first, and I'll answer you right away."

Mo Xiao took a little bit of soil, then added a little bit of self-developed medicinal powder, stirred it together, added water, sniffed it gently, and found that this was not his ideal soil at all.

"What the hell is going on? Your expression is really too serious. ”

Gu Lingjin thought that the problem that Mo Xiao found might be more serious, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression.

"When we got to this town, I went out for a walk. I found that there was a stall where the herbs were very good, and when I went up to inquire, I found that this person was strange, and after I tried it, I thought that there was something wrong with the other party. I thought of asking the other party to take me to find herbs, but the other party obviously didn't know what to say. ”

Mo Xiao opened his mouth to explain.

"After they left, I went to the neighborhood to find some herbs. I found that none of the herbs I saw were there, and according to my understanding, some herbs were not grown in the soil around here at all, so there must be something wrong with this person. ”

"So, your idea is to go fishing?"

This is not the first time that Mo Xiao has fished, but the other party actually knows that he wants to sell herbs, and maybe the other party is not so easy to deal with. Gu Lingjin was a little worried about Mo Xiao's safety.

"You have to be careful."

"Yes, don't worry, and the other party may not really be the fish we need, after all, the benefit of this thing is to support the bold and starve to death, so if the other party goes somewhere to collect and sell it, we can't say that people are fine, right?"

"You're right, but I'd rather miss it than let it go."

Gu Lingjin understood what Mo Xiao meant, but this time was no longer the time to investigate whether the other party was meticulous or not, but needed to understand everything.

"In this way, I will send a few people to follow you when the time comes, and you will solve this matter, and I believe that no matter what the reason is, there will be results."

"Okay. However, it would be good to follow secretly, and I believe that there will definitely be people who will secretly track at that time, after all, a person will definitely not be my opponent. ”

Mo Xiao thought that if the other party was a cautious person, he would definitely not come alone. Then this is also your own chance, maybe it's just luck, and maybe you can catch the person behind the scenes.

"Okay, but you have to be careful in everything."

"Understood."

Although Mo Xiao was sure with Gu Lingjin, he was still a little uneasy, and he hoped very much that all his guesses were correct.

The next day, Mo Xiao went according to the time he had agreed with the other party, but he didn't see anyone. This made Mo Xiao very surprised, could it be said that he was startling the snake? No, I didn't show anything.

Or is it true that the other party has a problem, because of his previous excuses, he just disappeared? This is not impossible, if the other party is just a spy, he may leave.

"Oh, really. Obviously, I thought there was an opportunity, but now I found that there was nothing. It's really helpless. ”

Mo Xiao walked forward a little dejectedly, if the thing is not completed, it will not be completed, anyway, this thing is just a matter of luck, it is the best that he can complete it, and it is not his responsibility to complete it.

However, it didn't take long for Mo Xiao to discover the situation. The old man who sold medicine before appeared, and there was a person he hadn't seen before.

"Old man, why did you change places today? I thought you weren't here. ”

The old man glanced at Mo Xiao, and he was still a little flustered in his heart. He couldn't imagine that things would turn out like this, he had already avoided this person, why was this person still so ghostly? Is it because I found myself?

"No, it won't. It's impossible for me to find out about me in such a secret, I must have wanted to buy herbs. ”

After comforting himself in his heart, the old man looked at Mo Xiao and said.

"Here's the thing, girl. My herbs were all transferred to me by others. If you have a fancy for it, then I can give it all to you. But if you ask me to take you there, this may not be very convenient. ”

"Okay, then you can just sell it all to me."

Mo Xiao looked at the other party's stall, and there were not many things. So I felt that I had nothing to pack and take away, so I took it away after paying the money.

After the old man watched Mo Xiao leave quickly, he thought that he might have had more thoughts before, and this person must have come to buy medicine for himself. What the old man didn't know was that after Mo Xiao left the stall, he found the person who was secretly following him, and asked the other party to follow the old man carefully.

Mo Xiao thinks that there must be something wrong with this person, but it may be a little different from what he originally thought.

"How's it going to be today?"

Gu Lingjin was already waiting for Mo Xiao's news, and after seeing Mo Xiao appear, he immediately walked to Mo Xiao's side and asked.

"There was a little bit of an accident." Mo Xiao sighed. "That person behaved very strangely, the other party hid the source of the herbs, and was not prepared to take me there. You deliberately avoided me today, what the hell is going on? ”

"You tell me what happened, so I can know what's going on."

Gu Lingjin listened to Mo Xiao's words, and was a little puzzled by what was going on, so he decided to let Mo Xiao tell him the ins and outs of the matter. After listening to Mo Xiao's narration, Gu Lingjin also felt that this person was a little strange.

"You're doing a great job, we have to keep an eye on this guy. I'm sure there will be news of it. ”

Gu Lingjin was very satisfied with Mo Xiao's behavior, and he felt that Mo Xiao was really right to do this.

"Young Master, it may take us a long time to verify this matter. You need to think of other ways as soon as possible. ”

Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin and didn't seem to think about it, so he opened his mouth and prompted.

"Well, I know. What you say is true. But the current situation does not allow us to do these things, and we need to wait quietly for the right time. ”

Mo Xiao didn't understand what Gu Lingjin meant.

At this time, there is such a thing as waiting quietly for the right time. This expedition is to solve the matter of piracy, and such a thing needs to wait for the opportunity, but if there is no time, it should be created.

"Don't worry, I think the person you found might give me some help."

Gu Lingjin's explanation made Mo Xiao understand that Gu Lingjin might want to pass on some news through that person, and then attract some people to come over, and the result was still very good.

"Young Master, you are really too cunning."

Gu Lingjin didn't take Mo Xiao's 'praise' to heart, but was thinking about what might happen next and what needed to be dealt with.

Mo Xiao was also a little surprised when he saw that Gu Lingjin didn't refute his words. Unexpectedly, Gu Lingjin was so 'humble', and accepted his praise in the face of it. Besides, this is not a real compliment.

"Young Master, don't you have anything to say?"

Mo Xiao asked maliciously.

"What do I have to say?" Gu Lingjin hadn't listened carefully to what Mo Xiao was saying before, so now he still didn't understand something in the face of Mo Xiao's questions. "You, what are you talking about?"

"I just said that young master, you are really too cunning, and you don't even refute it. It can be seen that this is how you think of yourself, you are a cunning hunter waiting for the prey to take the bait itself. ”

Mo Xiao repeated what he had just said again.

"Do you really think I'm cunning? I don't really think yet. Our enemies are the real cunning, and if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't find their traces, why would we be here to calculate? ”

Gu Lingjin didn't think he was smart.

"You don't just stare at one person, I always think that this person will not be so simple, we still need to find a few more people."

"Understood."

Mo Xiao thought, maybe he didn't say anything before, and just bought those herbs, so the old man felt that he had a problem.

"Young master, you said that if I go to the other party for trouble, will the other party think that I have a problem?"

Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao, I really didn't know what this girl was holding back.

"After all, if this herb is good or bad, I need to find trouble with the other party. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a wronged man. ”

"Well, a good idea, indeed. By the way, go to other people to buy some medicinal herbs, so that the other party may not suspect you of ulterior motives. Gu Lingjin nodded, this is indeed a good way. I know there's a shop in this town that sells really good herbs, so you can go buy some and find them. ”
