"What about Yang Shoubei?" Xu Hai asked in a stern tone.

"Yang Shoubei escaped alone in a small boat."

Xu Hai nodded, didn't speak again, just waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

A day later, Xu Hai was writing a war report in the tent when a junior colonel suddenly broke in. "Report to the general, Madame is back."

When Xu Hai heard this, he immediately stood up. "Where's Madame?"

Xiao Jiao was about to answer, but Huang Suqin had already walked in with the pipa in her arms. "Your Excellency!" Huang Suqin didn't finish speaking, and tears had already flowed down first.

Xu Hai walked over and gently held her in his arms. "Suqin don't be afraid, it's all over. Passed! ”

Huang Suqin cried for a while, and then stopped crying. "I thought I'd never see a general again in my life!"

Xu Hai led Huang Suqin to his main table and sat down, while helping her wipe her tears. "Don't worry! As long as I have a breath left, I will definitely save you. Yu Ren, that kid didn't embarrass you, right? ”

Huang Suqin stopped crying a little and shook her head, "No, Yu and Yu Ren are polite to me." ”

Xu Hai nodded reassuringly, "I know that as long as I am here, this kid Yu Ren will dare to do anything to you." However, I've always wondered if you've been in the tent all the time, haven't you? Why did you go out that day? ”

Huang Suqin put down the pipa and said angrily, "It's all that little girl who deceived me." Otherwise I wouldn't have gone out? ”

"Who?"

"It's the little Japanese courtesan we caught that day!"

"What's wrong with her?" Xu Hai said, picking up a cup of tea on the table.

"This little girl lied to me that she found out that there is a thousand-year-old guqin that has been lost for a hundred years buried on this island, Jiaoweiqin. The lord knows me, and I don't care about the actual things, but I like this good piano the most. So I went with her to find Jean.

Who knew that this little girl was deliberately sent by Yu Ren to lure me. We had just arrived at the beach when we were caught by Yu Ren's ambush in the name. ”

Xu Hai nodded, only then did he understand why Huang Suqin was suddenly arrested by Yu Ren.

"Master, I heard that you promised to release those captives in order to save me, right?"

Xu Hai glanced at Huang Suqin, "That's also something that can't be helped." ”

Huang Suqin said worriedly, "But, my lord, you have already reported these captives to the imperial court!" Now, you've got them all out again. What if the court investigates it? ”

Xu Hai showed a wry smile, "That's no way!" Who asked Yu Ren to use you to blackmail me! For your sake, don't say that just this small sin is committed, no matter how big the sin is, I am willing. ”

When Huang Suqin heard this, she was very moved and gently threw herself into Xu Hai's arms. "Your Excellency, you have been so kind to me. Su Qin swears here that she must work harder to take care of adults in the future, and never be jealous of her wife again. ”

Xu Hai stroked Huang Suqin's head, "That's right." Tell you about it! In fact, although I arranged the fleet to send the prisoners at the time and place requested by Yu Ren, I still left a backup move. ”

"What's the trick?" Huang Suqin said unexpectedly.

"Well, you'll know when the time comes. This time, even if he can't capture Yu Ren alive, it will be enough for him to drink a pot. It can be regarded as avenging the humiliation for you. Xu Hai said, a trace of electric light shot out of his eyes.

When Huang Suqin heard this, a wry smile appeared on her face, not knowing whether she was happy or worried.

Yu Ren took all his warships and lurked behind a patch of reeds, not far from the entrance to Hangzhou Bay. Today is the day when he and Xu Hai agreed with the officers and soldiers to transport the prisoners. He believed that Xu Hai would not dare to make trouble for him. However, just in case, he still sent more than a dozen small boats to pretend to be fishing boats and scattered in the waters of this area.

On Yu Ren's main ship, he was sitting in the cabin. There was no one else in the cabin except his captive Huang Suqin.

"Auntie, do you think the third uncle will come to save you at the risk of losing the captive? That's a great sin to turn a great achievement! ”

Huang Suqin didn't speak, just quietly looked out the window, still holding her pipa in her hand.

Yu Ren looked out the window, and among the reeds, dozens of warlords and merchants were quietly parked. From here, the view is obscured by patches of reeds, and it is impossible to see the entrance to the canal outside.

Yu Ren shifted his gaze to Huang Suqin. It was the first time he had taken such a close closer look at this woman who had fascinated Xu Hai and could spare her life for her.

Huang Suqin was still holding her pipa and looking out the window. In the past two days, probably because of worry, her body was a little haggard, and a trace of sideburns fluttered on her plump and round red lips. Huang Suqin is indeed a beauty, not only because of her plump but not fat figure and delicate but not childish face, but also because she has a certain tranquility and indifference unique to intellectual women.

Yu Ren speculated that perhaps it was this temperament that finally conquered Xu Hai, who had been living among crude pirates and merchants.

"Has the third aunt always been like this?" Yu Ren looked at Huang Suqin and couldn't help but casually ask what he thought in his heart.

"What?" Huang Suqin withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Yu Ren.

"Oh! I, I mean, Aunt San, you've always been like this, do you carry this pipa with you everywhere? Yu Ren was a little embarrassed.

Huang Suqin glanced at Yu Ren again, and then took her gaze back, she seemed to understand the meaning of Yu Ren's gaze. "This lute was passed down to me by my master before he died. I've always had it with me.

I remember that when I first met Xiao Xianggong in Suzhou, I also took it with me! That time, in fact, my brother meant that he wanted me to give the little minister-in-law............

Who knows, but later I followed Lord Xu! Speaking of this, Huang Suqin looked at Yu Ren with tenderness, and that gaze seemed to be telling Yu Ren what she was thinking.

Yu Ren was stunned by Huang Suqin's seductive gaze. Huang Suqin's meaning, of course he understands. She wanted to say that her brother meant that he wanted to give her to himself as a concubine. But he didn't have this idea at the time, so he cheapened Xu Hai.

Thinking of the amorous little widow in front of him, who should have been in his room, Yu Ren's mouth suddenly felt dry.

"If I had ......," Huang Suqin had just said this, and Yu Ren hurriedly got up from his seat.

"Ahh I forgot, we haven't had lunch yet! I'll go and get them to prepare lunch. After speaking, Yu Ren escaped out of the cabin. He was really afraid that if he stayed any longer, if he was not careful, he would do something that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Huang Suqin looked at Yu Ren's back as he left in a hurry, and sighed silently. Her fingers naturally touched the lute, and a song of Zhaojun came out of her fingers.

Huang Suqin had just played a short section when she saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl rushing in angrily.

"Who told you to play it?"

Huang Suqin was taken aback, she didn't know who this girl was, and she didn't know how she offended her. "I ......"

"Don't you know we're in ambush here? Oh! I see, you're trying to tell them there's an ambush here, right? ”

Huang Suqin was taken aback. "Ahh No, it's not. I really didn't mean that. Huang Suqin hurriedly explained.

"So, why are you playing the piano here?"

"I, I can't help it. Beside oneself! ”

But the girl did not listen to her explanation, and rushed up to take her lute.

When Huang Suqin saw that this girl was going to take away her pipa, she desperately held the pipa in her arms. "You, you can't take it."

"Let it go!" The girl didn't give up, and when she saw that Huang Suqin refused to let go, she picked up a wooden box on the table and wanted to beat her.

Huang Suqin desperately hugged the pipa and refused to let go.

The girl was about to use the wooden box to kill her, when she suddenly heard someone outside the cabin shouting, "Ying'er, stop!" ”

The girl turned her head and saw that it was Yu Ren, so she put down the wooden box in her hand, but did not let go of Huang Suqin. "Young master, she actually plays the pipa here!"

Yu Ren re-entered the cabin and glanced at Huang Suqin. "I hear you!"

"I'm not intentional. It's true! You have to trust me. You have to trust me! Huang Suqin said urgently.

Ying'er snorted heavily, "Who knows what your intentions are." However, no matter what your intentions are, this lute must be confiscated! After speaking, Ying'er was going to snatch the pipa in Huang Suqin's hand again.

Huang Suqin desperately hugged the pipa and shouted, "Yu Xianggong, Yu Xianggong!" ”
