Feng Ningyan smiled lightly. "That's right, we can find the killer organization once we find the person who raised the Gu. Look, I, Feng Ningyan, should not die."

Shen Ling Jue held her tightly in his embrace, too excited to speak.

Feng Ning Yan raised her head to look at the side of his face. She reached out her arm and wrapped it around his waist as she softly said, "This Yun An/Bai Jie pill really has some effect …"

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. If she did not eat the Hundred Destructions Pill and suppress the poison, how could she be able to stay safe and sound while nestling against Shen Ling Jue?

Shen Ling Jue understood her intentions, and couldn't help hugging her even more tightly, so tightly that it was as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Ah Yao will be back soon.

She took a long, joyful gulp of her tea and spoke of the important news she had just received.

"I heard that half a year ago, the Black Seedling Stronghold's Witch Doctor Clan in the Southern Wilderness was exterminated by an unknown group of people. At that time, the yamen investigated and suspected that it was the act of the white seedling's revenge. "But after some investigation, there was only one missing member of the Witch Doctor Clan, and there were no other clues, so the case ended up hanging up."

"Four months ago, a merchant ship returned from the sea. The sailors on the ship saw a person wearing black Miao's clothes on a deserted island, calling for help … But because of a pirate plot, the ship did not dare approach. "

When Shen Ling Jue heard this, he looked towards Feng Ning Yan, "They are indeed at sea."

"What are we waiting for?" Feng Ningyan hurriedly stood up, "Go to sea!"

"What are you doing?" Shen Ling Jue frowned, "Stay in the inn and wait for me."

As he spoke, he instructed Ah Yao and Chu Zhao to stay behind and take care of Feng Ning Yan.

Feng Ningyan frowned and said angrily, "If you don't bring me along, what if I die from the Gu poison in three days' time? When you come back, you won't even be able to see me one last time!"

"Cough, cough …" Ah Yao quickly said, "Children's words are always spoken without restraint. They are blown away by the wind!" Great Guilty! Great Guilty! "Esteemed wangfei, don't speak nonsense. With Ah Yao around, how could I let your poison act up …"

Feng Ning Yan stared at Shen Ling Jue with her red eyes and pouted lips, looking as though she was about to cry from being wronged.

Being looked at like that, Shen Lingjue's heart softened bit by bit.

He lowered his head with a helpless smile and held her hands. "Why do you have to curse yourself?"

Feng Ningyan quickly added on, "What I said was the truth. I can't see you with my own eyes, aren't I worried? You guys are out in the sea, and it's hard to predict the storm, so you guys are unable to communicate with each other. If I hear the news of some ship's accident, I'll be overcome by anxiety.

"Hahaha …" Princess Hua-Yang is really cute when she's acting coquettishly! " Ah Yao couldn't help but clap his hands, "I think that's how the prince will play it!"

Shen Ling Jue couldn't help but smile, gently pulling Feng Ning Yan into his embrace, saying in a low voice: "Is this because you can't bear to part with me?"

Feng Ningyan rolled her eyes. "You mean …" "Alright then …"

"Alright, change your name to hubby. I'll bring you there." Shen Lingjue actually went overboard.

Feng Ningyan's face turned red and she couldn't help but look to the side. She saw Jing Qi, Chu Zhao, Ah Yao and the rest had already tactfully flashed out of the room.

"You, Hugh, think!" She shook his hand off and shouted outside, "You're not eating yet, you're starving!"

With the Hundred Solution Pill to restrain the insect poison, and after eating a delicious meal, Feng Ningyan finally became lively again.

After they finished their meal, they split up.

Ah Yao and Chu Zhao went to Miao stronghold to look for Heartless Grass, while Shen Ling Jue, Feng Ning Yan and Jing Qi still disguised themselves as merchants and headed towards the port of Eastsea City.

Although the Southern Wilderness was not as vast as the Great Wu, it would still take about four to four hours to get to the port from the northern border. It was already late in the evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the distant sea, making this unpredictable sea seem very peaceful and warm.

Ships docked at the harbor, and the sails on the masts were lowered.

The coolies on the docks were busy moving the cargo, moving the overseas goods from the ships and shipping the specialties from the Southern Wilderness onto the boats, preparing to set sail again at dawn.

Feng Ningyan was familiar with the Southern Wilderness, so she was responsible for gathering information.

She changed into the clothes of a common laborer and wiped the dirt off her face. She wore a conical hat and blended into the crowd.

Not long later, she was back in Shen Ling Jue's carriage.

"I just asked those people, they said that these merchant ships are all from Longchang Trading Company, and they are leaving tomorrow morning, and the route is south through the Hidden Dragon Bay towards the south. I also heard that the ones who said that the Black Miao people were found on the deserted island were the sailors from Long Chang Trading Company. Their route hasn't changed for the past half a year and their goods have all been sold to Siamese cat or whatever. "

Shen Ling Jue took out a roll of sheepskin map, pointing towards the area near the Southern Border Sea Region, and said: "The island where the Black Dwellers are located should be somewhere between the small islands south of the port. A medium-sized ship can reach that area. "

"Right." Feng Ning Yan nodded.

Shen Lingjue kept the map and ordered Jingqi, "Send a signal to our people to prepare a medium-sized ship and five days' worth of fresh water and grain. We will set out as soon as the sky turns dark."

"Yes sir!" Jing Zhan hurriedly jumped off the car, notifying the people who had followed him and were lurking around the Yuwang Mansion.

The sailors that came to Ningnan County with Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan had long sneaked into the southern border to wait. Everyone boarded the ship and didn't arouse any suspicion.

After getting on the ship, Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan were resting in the cabin while Jing Qi was on the deck spying on the people coming and going on the pier, in case the people from the Office of Maritime Affairs came to check on them.

The sky quickly darkened and Shen Ling Jue ordered the boat to start off. At this time, Jing Qi suddenly entered the cabin and reported, "Your Highness, a suspicious fishing boat has been discovered."

Shen Ling Jue looked out of the cabin window, following the direction that Jing Zhan was pointing at.

Not too far away from their ship, a sturdy looking fishing boat was docked on the shore. Although the sailors on the boat were strong and sturdy, they all had a strange paleness to their faces, as if they had not seen the light of day all year.

"If they really were fishing boats, then their skin would be dark under the sun and the rain. It shouldn't be so white." Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but say.

Jing Qi said, "It's not just suspicious. They just entered the port and not a single fish disembarked. They immediately began moving things onto the ship."

That box was filled with some unknown items, but it didn't seem to be very heavy.

There were also dozens of sealed buckets that were also being carried on the boat. From the angle of the bar, the contents of the bucket were much heavier.

"Fresh water and food." Shen Ling Jue suddenly said.

Feng Ningyan's gaze turned cold. "Fresh water and food? A fishing boat couldn't catch a fish, so how could it get so much fresh water and food on board? Could it be … It's not a fishing boat at all.

"Right." Shen Ling Jue suddenly asked her, "How does your body feel?"

"Feel?" Feng Ning Yan smiled. "I feel like I can kill an ox with one punch."

Shen Ling Jue held her hand: "Very good, change your clothes."

Shen Ling Jue, Feng Ning Yan and Jing Zhan had all changed into night clothes that allowed them to hide in the dark. Each of them hid their hidden weapons and swords.

Feng Ning Yan was carrying a small and light crossbow arrow on his back, with two sets of arrows on each wrist and an eagle's claw hook on his waist.

When everything was ready, they slipped down from the stern and, under cover of the shadow of the hull, crept up to the suspicious fishing boat.
