[No, no, let's talk it over nicely. It's just a woman. Let me make the decision, brother. I'll give this woman to you brothers to entertain them! Please forgive me and let me go.]

[Husband! How could you do this! ]

[Go to hell, you don't want to follow me, right? Then I'll do as you wish! And your damn daughter, I'll sell her off sooner or later to buy armor, hahahaha.]

Accompanied by a burst of shouting and cursing, a middle-aged woman with a good figure was dragged to the edge of the camp by several Qarluk soldiers. Lu Zhiwei wanted to go to greet her, but was stopped by Shen Yuelan and Xiao Yuhuan.

[Zhiwei, don't go yet. That's an enemy trap. That Chishi Tiele is watching Xiaoman from the dark. If you go there now, you'll become a living target for the enemy.]

[Ah, a living target is a living target. Their few broken arrows can only scratch my skin a little. I think they are powerful! ]

[Okay, okay, you are awesome, but Xiao Man is just a mortal. With your small body, how can you protect her? ]

[Uh, come on, why didn’t they find me a bear demon at that time? What should we do? Should we just stand there and watch? ]

[Humph, Xiao Man was given to me by him, but I never said I would let him go. The location of the hostage is clear, so there is no need to worry about anything else. All the troops in front of the emperor, listen to my orders, immediately reduce the encirclement, and end the battle as soon as possible! ]

【Yes! 】×2400

Less than five minutes after the order was given, the Song army ended the battle in a swift and devastating manner, and the [Chishi Tiele] was also brought over, tied up.

【You...why don't you keep your word? 】

[How can you say that? When did I ever break my promise? ]

[You clearly promised that as long as I offered my first wife to you, you would let me and my people go! ]

[Ha, think about it carefully. When did I ever say that you can survive as long as you sacrifice your first wife? ]

[You! Humph, don't be so complacent, you don't even understand what kind of existence you are provoking! ]

[I advise you to let us go quickly, in this case, huh? It was too dark just now, I couldn't see clearly, it turns out you are a woman, wow, you are quite pretty. ]

[Well, I will spare your life for your beauty. As long as you serve me well, I will... ah! ! ]

Before Shen Yuelan could attack, the arm of [Chishi Tiele] was cut off by Shen Huanyan. If Shen Yuelan had not reacted and stopped him in time, the pirate leader would have died tragically under his knife.

[Okay, okay, I'm not angry yet, why are you so angry? ]

[He deserves to die! He actually dared to defame you with dirty words, I will kill him! ]

Shen Yuelan was a little confused about Shen Huanyan's mental state. She had been insulted by others before, but she had never seen her so crazy.

[Huanyan, calm down. You have to keep this person alive. If you kill him, where will you get the information? Besides, I have been humiliated like this before, but I have never seen you so angry.]

[That's because I can't beat them. If I can't handle them, can't I handle this bastard? ]

Shen Huanyan's explanation made Shen Yuelan speechless. What a guy, you are still choosing people when you are angry. But when you think about it carefully, every time Shen Yuelan was scolded, Shen Huanyan's little fists were indeed clenched tightly.

Shen Yuelan originally thought that she just had that habit, but she didn't expect that she was just enduring it.

Not to mention the little excitement in her heart, Shen Yuelan thought it over again and again and decided not to take her to Sister Yuelong's place next time. Shen Yuelan was afraid that Shen Huanyan would not be able to hold back and would give Gan Yuelong a left hook. If she couldn't handle it well at that time, both of them would be in trouble.

[Okay, okay, if you want to kill him, you have to dig out the information from his mouth first. When you know the specific deployment of the enemy, you can deal with him at will.]

【promise!】

[Chishi Tiele] was dragged to a corner by Shen Huanyan like a dead dog. Only the occasional crying and shouting could prove that he was still alive.

Shen Yuelan ignored the annoying thing and gave up the chance to pretend in front of him again, and instead focused her attention on Xiao Mankedun who had been waiting for a long time beside Lu Zhiwei.

[Hey, should I call you Lord Kedun or Xiaoman? ]

[Do you know the name Xiao Man? Are you from the Tang Dynasty? Are you a noble from the Tang Dynasty? Are you the one that the Lord has sent to save me? Oh, I'm sorry, I was too excited, you can just call me Xiao Man.]

[Well, Xiaoman, right? Don't get excited. I will answer your questions one by one. First of all, I am indeed from the Tang Dynasty, but I am not a noble from the Tang Dynasty. However, I was indeed sent by Mr. Bai to take you back.]

Shen Yuelan's answer was like a heavy gasp, up and down, almost suffocating Xiaoman, but when Shen Yuelan said the name Bai Juyi, the only thing left in Xiaoman's mind was the name that haunted her.

Chapter 330 The cooked duck flew away

[Hello? Xiaoman? Are you listening to me? ]

[Ah, sorry, sir. I was so excited. I didn't expect that the master would actually send someone to rescue me. I didn't expect that the letter would actually be delivered. I didn't expect... God really didn't want to let me go. ]

[Okay, okay, stop sighing. Now that we have found you, you can just wait to go home peacefully. Zhiwei, take Xiaoman to rest first.]

【promise.】

After Zhiwei and Xiaoman walked away, Xiao Yuhuan, who had been silent beside them, suddenly came over.

[Captain, is there something wrong with Xiao Man just now? I feel like she overacted.]

[Hey, you figured it out too? I think so too. I'm afraid the real Xiao Man has long since passed away, and this one, who knows where she came from.]

[Yes, the one who could make this pirate group risk their lives to protect him is definitely not a small fish. ]

[So what should we do? Should we confront them now or wait? ]

[Don't worry, we don't know this person's identity, nor do we know how much trouble it will cause if we provoke him. Let's wait until I find a chance to communicate with the Time Management Bureau.]

[Yes, if it is indeed a big fish, but it is a whale that can eat us, then it will be a bad ending.]

[Well, let's stick to the original plan and don't let anyone get any clues.]

[Yes, then what should we do next? ]

[Alas, we should save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Since we are here to save Xiao Man, let's do this to the end. We will return to Datang tomorrow.]

【promise.】

[By the way, bring this man's daughter, Chishi Sibai, along as well. Although I don't know what the relationship between the three of them is, it won't be a mistake to bring her back.]

[Okay, I'll go catch him when we get back to Suiye Town.]

Just after finishing her conversation with Xiao Yuhuan, before Shen Yuelan could catch her breath, Shen Huanyan came over covered in blood, looking very difficult to deal with.

[Master, I'm back. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and asked some unexpected information. ]

【Oh, tell me about it? 】

[The thief confessed that they were a second-class fleet, with almost two motherships, more than 3,000 small and medium-sized frigates, and an army of one million people. They were currently anchored outside the boundary wall of this world, waiting for the signal from the advance team.]

[And the woman named Xiao Man is not the real Xiao Man. It is said that she is the commanding marshal of one of their motherships. She holds a very high position among this group of Void Pirates.]

[Hiss, isn’t that amazing? ]

[Hey, don't worry, the Void Pirates are only powerful when they touch the rudder of a ship. The higher the level of the pirates, the more so. And now they don't even have a wooden boat, let alone a warship. ]

[Don't take it lightly. How do you know they don't have a backup plan? ]

[Yes, but they haven't been pushed to that point by us yet, so I think they won't use it easily. ]

[Well, is there any other information? ]

[Yes, that Chishi Sibai seems to be a leader of a high status, so high that the man doesn't know her specific identity, and it seems that she is not in the same group with them. ]

[Humph, he can't be a good guy if he's hanging out with these Void Pirates. Anyway, let's tie him up and take him back first.]

Although Shen Yuelan thought so, since he could be a leader, how could he be caught so easily? By the time Shen Yuelan and his group cleaned up the battlefield and rushed back to Suiye Town in the morning sun, the little thing had already disappeared without a trace.

[Tsk, this is bad, we've alerted the enemy. Zhiwei, immediately control that Xiaoman. One of them has already escaped, we can't let another one fly away.]

[Uh, Master, you may be too late. ]

[Huh, what do you mean? ]

【Please look behind you.】

Shen Yuelan looked in the direction Shen Huanyan pointed, and saw a human-shaped mummy wrapped like a dumpling, twisting its body wildly. Before Shen Yuelan could rush over and tear open the face of this thing, she broke free by herself.

When Shen Yuelan saw the face clearly, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Zhiwei?

[Master...Master, after that woman arrived at Suiye Town, I don't know what message she saw, but she immediately realized the danger and turned around to run. I wanted to chase her, but she trapped me with props. I failed in my duty.]

Shen Yuelan looked at Lu Zhiwei who was still twisting, and then looked at Xiao Yuhuan who returned empty-handed. She sighed helplessly. It seemed that the duck in her mouth had indeed flown away. At this moment, she could only report what happened here to the Time Management Bureau immediately.

[Hello, Sister Hua, are you there? ]

[Nonsense, can I answer your call if I'm not here? I haven't even sat down in my office yet, what trouble have you caused me again? Why don't you go find your master? ]

[Oh my, these few times have nothing to do with me. I have important information to report. ]

【Oh? Tell me about it. 】

[It is like this. When we were in Luoyang, we received a strange letter hoping that Bai Juyi would go to the Western Regions to rescue people. We were suspicious about this, so we went to the Western Regions on his behalf and found the person who sent the letter.]

[However, the identity of this person seeking help does not seem simple. He is actually a senior member of a Void Pirates Class B Fleet. It is said that their fleet is currently anchored outside the barrier of this world, waiting for an opportunity to invade.]

[The reason why we know this is because we just defeated the advance team they sent out and captured their leader, but unfortunately, we failed to capture the pirate leader.]

[In addition, there seems to be a high-level person who does not belong to the Void Pirates faction here mixed in with these people, but we also failed to capture him. ]

Listening to the information passed on by Shen Yuelan, Hua Liluo on the other end of the phone gradually realized the seriousness of the situation. If this matter was not handled properly, it would lead to the Second War of Annan.

[Well, I already know about this. You did a good job. Leave the rest to me. I will ask for credit for you afterwards.]

[By the way, if you have time to spare, please help me search for the two high-ranking officials you just described. You don't need to do anything directly, just provide their locations to the Time Management Bureau.]

[Yes, Sister Hua.]

[Um, Sister Hua, what about the reward? ]

[Humph, I knew you had bad intentions. Wait, let me see what benefits the Time Management Bureau can gain from this war, and then I will give you some at my discretion.]

[Great, thank you Sister Hua. ]

As the phone call was hung up, Shen Yuelan's smile gradually turned into a mercenary one, and Xiao Yuhuan and the others also became excited. If Hua Liluo could win, the benefits they would get would definitely be beyond their imagination.

[However, Master, why is what you just said to Director Hua different from what we experienced? ]

[Hmm? What's the difference? I said it's all true! ]

[Well, it’s true, but isn’t the expression a little different? ]

[Tsk, you are stupid. If I had just told the truth, you and I would have been scolded to death by Sister Hua. A few idiots can't even catch the duck in their hands. What else can they do? Do you want to be scolded like this? ]

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and Shen Yuelan continued speaking contentedly upon seeing this.

[Learn something, this is called the art of language. Stop standing there, surround Suiye Town and search every house. I don't believe it. It's only been a short while, how can the two of them run away from Suiye Town?]

Chapter 331: The Beast Still Fights

But before everyone could start searching Suiye Town, a sharp roar suddenly erupted from above the blue dome. It was the sound of an enemy warship starting up. The sound was not loud, but everyone on earth heard the noisy noise.

Some people believed that this was a warning from the gods because the Khanate had lost its moral integrity; some believed that this was a sign that the end of the world was approaching and the pillars of heaven were about to collapse. In short, few people thought this was a good thing and they were all fleeing for their lives in panic.

Shen Yuelan stood on the city wall of Suiye Town, looking at the different reactions of the city residents, feeling very distressed. Did this mean that everyone had heard it?

[Tsk, I don't know if the Tang Dynasty can hear it. If they do, I don't know what kind of chain reaction it will cause.]

[Master, it’s hard to say anything else, but one thing is certain, in the Tang Dynasty, the Time Management Bureau was revised.]

[Hey, forget it, forget about those trivial things, the most important thing is to find the person, let's move now, just follow Hua Liluo's words, there is no need to confront them head-on, just determine the approximate location. ]

【Yes.】×3

At the same time, the mother and daughter who were hiding in a house in the city were discussing how to escape.

[Is this the surprise you, the Zhaowu Mu clan, gave me? Being hunted everywhere like a stray dog?]

[Sir, please calm down. This is just an accident. After all, no one expected that such a person would suddenly appear. Don't worry, we have already sent out the signal. It won't be long before the army will invade this world.]

[I'm not deaf, I heard the roar just now, but we can hear it, can't your enemies hear it? I really don't understand what you are doing, a surprise attack turned into a violent attack! ]

[Hahaha, this... that... now is not the time to blame each other. What do you think we should do now? Those people probably have guessed that you are not a simple person, and I am afraid they will not let us go easily. ]

"Before I came back, I saw them searching house to house. If we just sit there and wait, it's only a matter of time before we're arrested."

[Hmph, is my suggestion useful? Do you listen? ]

[Listen, listen, listen. How could I not listen to you? Our Zhaowu Mu clan is the power under your command. ]

[Humph, now you know you are my people. When I told you not to provoke the three major forces, what were you doing? ]

[Yes, yes, we know we were wrong. If we can escape from here, I will definitely go back and die admonishing the leader to restrain his people. But the most important thing now is to leave here, don't you think?]

[Well, let's take the initiative, find a safe place to pin down two enemy soldiers, then change into their clothes and sneak out of the city.]

[Your idea is good, but I always think it is inappropriate. 】

【How to say? 】

[Well, although those soldiers are well hidden, I can't sense any breath of life from them. I think they are probably just a group of puppets or consumables like shikigami.]
