The two of them came to the provincial capital, and Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai to the bookstore.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore saw Xiao Zimo brought a little brother over alone, his eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

In fact, when Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai and others here last time, the shopkeeper probably glanced at them twice and didn't think much about them, because several of them were present at the time, but this time it was different, only Wu Bai was alone, which highlighted When he came out, especially when the shopkeeper wanted to welcome Xiao Zimo to the special private room upstairs, Xiao Zimo actually wanted to bring Wu Bai upstairs together, and he was not shy at all.

"Master, this is it?" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then asked actively.

He decided that it would be better to ask him personally. If he guessed the relationship wrong and treated this little brother in an inappropriate way, it would not be good for the master to be dissatisfied.

.Xiao Zimo was also worried that the shopkeeper would treat Wu Bai slowly, so he took Wu Bai's hand and replied, "This is your future lord. When you see him in the future, you should respect him as you would treat me."

"Yes." The shopkeeper replied, and then quickly took Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai upstairs to guide them.

When the three arrived in the private room, there were already four or five people waiting inside.

"Master is well." Everyone saluted Xiao Zimo.

"Sit down!" Xiao Zimo ordered.

"Yes." After everyone sat down, they also looked at Wu Bai with a look of surprise.

Xiao Zimo was annoyed by their staring at Wu Bai, he tapped the table lightly, and drew everyone's attention to himself, and then he introduced again: "This is your future lord, don't take it lightly in the future. lazy."

.Everyone glanced at Wu Bai again, then lowered their heads and said, "Yes."

"Why are there only a few of you?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Go back to the master, everyone else went out to continue to inquire about the news. We are staying here to wait for the master's news, lest the master come to find us." One of the men in brown replied.

"How about the things that you asked you to investigate before?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"This..." The subordinate glanced at Wu Bai with some embarrassment, and then thought that since Xiao Zimo brought the other party here, he must not have to hide the other party, so he continued: "We have already We found some details, but we still haven't checked them out completely, but we found that the other party seems to be quietly buying a lot of kerosene in the past two days."

"Kerol? Did you find out what the other party bought this for?"

."Not yet, the subordinates are still investigating, but the name the other party uses is to use rockets when the enemy is attacking, so they will prepare kerosene."

Xiao Zimo nodded and said: "Well, you should find out the use of the other party's kerosene as soon as possible. If it is used normally, he should not be so secretive."

Yangjiang Province is close to the sea, and the sea trade is developed. There are countless ships coming and going every day. Although this has improved the economy of these areas in the South China Sea, it has also breeded many pirates. There is a navy with ten thousand people. It is led by Tang Maode, the governor of the navy, and is usually responsible for the safety of ships traveling at sea in Yangjiang Province.

Since the establishment of this navy, the probability of being killed by ships going out to sea has dropped significantly. Although pirates cannot be completely banned from committing crimes, this is the best way.

.It's just in recent years that pirates have somehow become more and more rampant. Not long ago, they even robbed the eldest princess' concubine's boat to pay homage to her hometown, resulting in the death of the concubine. The emperor knew that the water was deep inside and that these pirates could be easily destroyed, so he quietly sent his confidant Xiao Zimo to investigate.

Since ancient times, there have been more collusion between officials and businessmen, and there have been more collusion between officials and bandits. Pirates in Yangjiang Province are rampant. This is absolutely inseparable from the Governor of the Navy, Tang Maode. Xiao Zimo asked his subordinates to investigate whether Tang Maode colluded with pirates. But Xiao Zimo couldn't convict Tang Maode just by guessing, he still needed evidence.

Therefore, when he heard his subordinates report that Tang Maode was quietly buying kerosene recently, he immediately realized that this was a breakthrough, and ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter.

.After he ordered this matter, he remembered the name 'Yan Shaoyuan' that Wu Bai had mentioned before. He waved to a subordinate and told him the name softly, and asked him to check this person.

Seeing this, Wu Bai didn't say anything. He believed that Xiao Zimo would not hurt himself, so even if Xiao Zimo whispered what he was doing at the moment, he didn't have any doubts.

After everything was explained, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to the downstairs again. He asked the shopkeeper to prepare a carriage for him. After all, he would often travel between Yangjiang Province and Haining Village in the future, so having a carriage would definitely be convenient. a lot of.

The shopkeeper immediately instructed the second in the store to pull out the carriage tied to the backyard.

"No, let's go for a walk first, and come back later when we have to leave." Xiao Zimo said.

"Yes.".The shopkeeper waved his hand and told the second shopkeeper to continue to do things without having to lead the carriage.

The two of them had just left the bookstore, and before they had gone far, Wu Bai heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Yin Yun.

"Brother Bai, I didn't expect to meet you so by chance." Yin Yun said with a smile, holding Wu Bai's hand.

"Yeah, it's a coincidence that I met you again." Wu Bai responded with a smile, then turned to Yin Yun and asked, "Who are the two beside you?"

Yin Yun let go of Wu Bai's hand, and instead grabbed the man next to him who was wearing ice blue brocade, and said, "Brother Bai, this is the younger brother of the Wen family, the richest man in Yangjiang Province, that I mentioned to you last time. , Wen Ke, my good friend."

Then he pointed at the man in black brocade next to Wen Ke, and said, "That's Brother Ke's fiance, Xue Yushu. The two have been engaged recently and will get married by the end of the year."

."That's great, then I congratulate the two of you on getting married soon!" Wu Bai opened his mouth to congratulate Wen Ke and Wen Ke.

Wen Ke heard the words and lowered his head shyly.

The fiancé beside him looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing the two people look like this, they should have mutual intentions, but Wu Bai wondered why Wenke later fell in love with Yan Shaoyuan and provoked Tang Ling for Yan Shaoyuan, and was finally destroyed by Tang Ling's father and Yan Shaoyuan's family. Wu Bai thought again that Wen Ke's fiance didn't appear in the book he was reading. Could it be that something happened to the other party and he was gone? So Wen Ke later fell in love with Yan Shaoyuan?

Wu Bai's head was full of question marks, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

.Then he heard Yin Yun say: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to get married as soon as possible. Brother Xue will leave for the capital in two days to participate in the autumn festival. He will have to pass the exam before he can come back to marry Ke Ge'er, then we Ke Ge'er. I'm the official husband, hee hee..."

Hearing this, Wu Bai's eyes flashed with clarity, yes, it must have been Xue Yushu's accident in Beijing, so there will be no news of him later, and Wen Ke will also like Yan Shaoyuan, the ruthless man, and finally be punished by that man. 's home was devastated.

Although he met Wen Ke, Wu Bai had a good impression of them, and he didn't want the two to end up in the way they ended up in the book, so he reminded them: "Yangjiang Province is far away from the capital, and the road is a long way to go. It’s hard and dangerous, so Young Master Xue can bring more people with you, so that it will be safer, and at the end of the year, I want to rub you a glass of wine.”

.Wu Bai kindly wanted to remind them, but in Wen Ke's ears, it didn't mean that, and it always felt a hint of curse. Fortunately, both of them had a good family background and didn't show anything wrong. , just frowned slightly and regained his calm.

But they didn't want to get along with Wu Bai any longer. The two of them looked at each other and understood that the other party had the same idea as him. Xue Yushu, as a man, took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry everyone, I want to go shopping alone with Ke'er. I won't be with you for a while."

"It's okay, you two can go shopping together!" Yin Yun didn't find anything wrong, but thought that the two were fiancés, and it was normal to want to be alone.

.He suddenly thought that he had been a big light bulb before, disturbing the other party's relationship, and felt a little frustrated. He raised his head and wanted to tell Wu Bai of his awakening just now, but he saw that Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo had a tacit understanding. He glanced at each other, and all the words suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he forgot that the two were also a couple.

Thinking of this, Yin Yun suddenly remembered the big wood of Haizan, and became even more depressed.

The reason why Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo looked at each other was that they both noticed Wen Ke's rejection of them. Wu Bai was a little helpless. He really wanted to remind each other, but this may happen in the future, and now there is no such thing as If it happened, his reminders sounded really bad. If he was a Taoist priest or a monk, it might be said that it is better to save a life from a monk than to build a seven-level pagoda. In this way, Xue Yushu and Wen Ke would not be angry.

.Thinking of this, Wu Bai patted his head and thought: Yes, why didn't I think of this just now? I shouldn't have just opened my mouth to remind them, but should have asked someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest or something to remind them. , In order to believe it or not, Wen Ke and the others should also make more preparations, alas, I don't know if it's too late for me to find a Taoist priest now?

"Looking for a Taoist priest? What are you looking for a Taoist priest for?" Yin Yun asked.

Only then did Wu Bai realize that he unknowingly said the last sentence, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a rare visit to Yangjiang Province, I don't know if there are any temples, Taoist temples and other places nearby to play. ?"

"Yes, I know one, there is a famous temple nearby, but if I go today, it will be too late." Yin Yun said with a pity.

."It doesn't matter, we can go together another day!" Wu Bai said.

"Okay, that's it. After I go back today, I must finish the ledger early, so that I will have enough time to play." Yin Yun said happily.

Seeing Yin Yun's energetic appearance, Wu Bai couldn't match him with the Yin Yun in the original body's memory. Although the Yin Yun in the original body's memory has the same shrewdness as now, he is not so wise. vitality.

A few people were shopping, but Xiao Zimo suddenly grabbed Wu Bai and said, "I seem to have seen Haizhu and Haishi just now."

"What? Haizhu and Haishi, you read that right? Why are they here?" Wu Bai asked in surprise.

"I know, they came to see Haizan. When they came to the store before, I happened to check the account in that store." Yin Yun said.

.After listening to Yin Yun's words, Xiao Zimo looked thoughtfully at the corner where Haizhu and the others disappeared
