Wujia is the ship where Cao Yin, the Changde Hou, was located. He lives in the main cabin, and there are more than a dozen wolf armored warriors outside. Through several small cabins, Han Xuanchang lived in a very simple and quite narrow cabin.

The pearl-picking ship was modified from a medium-sized peacekeeping warship. It has a huge area and many cabins. It is stacked and there is order in the layers. Outside Han Xuanchang's cabin, there are also several strong and burly peacekeeping soldiers guarding him. Without Han Xuanchang's order, no one could get close to it.

On the square table, there was a sea chart. The sea chart was very clear about the geographical environment of the Pearl Island waters. Han Xuanchang sat on the small chair and looked carefully at the marks on the chart that symbolized the reef group like stars. Four people were surrounded on both sides and opposite him. These were all the most trusted subordinates of the Han family. Everyone looked very serious and they were also looking at the marks on the chart.

"You can get the net in this place." Han Xuanchang said in a low voice: "There are reefs around, and here is a sea groove. The large net is arranged here and it is a net bed."

"Sir, this can be done." An official whispered: "This is a reef group. It is difficult to get in with huge sea objects, so it will not damage the fishing nets. It is a safe and usable place."

"But the clam pickers under the sea must approach the past and throw the pearl clams into the fishing net to store them. They have to avoid many reefs, which is probably delaying a lot of time." Another official whispered: "If the clam picking speed slows down, will Changdehou and Xiao Tongguang be suspicious?"

Han Xuanchang shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. They don't know much about picking clams and beads. Today's pearls have slowed down. Tomorrow, they only need to increase to the normal speed. Even if they want to hide clams in the middle, they will not see too much flaws. After all, they are all under the sea, so they can't go into the sea to stare at it."

"What the lord said is that the East China Sea is our territory, and they can't see the problem. This time, I took this opportunity to collect the pearl clams first, and I will send a boat to pick it up in the future. It will be silent and will not be known."

Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment and finally said, "Are the fishing net ready?"

"It's ready, just in the storage room of the bottom cabin." Someone replied: "After the order, I can ask someone to go directly from the bottom cabin to get the fishing net. The staff has been selected, so don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."

Han Xuanchang showed satisfaction and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, in another hour, when the night is late, you can take people there."

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, after you get ashore, you must remember to do it." Han Xuanchang sighed and said, "You can come to the door to comfort the victims' families in person and give you more money."

...

There was still discussion in the cabin, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then a voice replied: "Sir, there is an assassin!"

"Assassin?" Han Xuanchang's expression changed drastically, and the officials in the cabin were also shocked.

Han Xuanchang was the first to leave the cabin. Sure enough, he heard a faint sound of fierce fighting, and frowned and said, "Is it on Wu Yi?"

The official who reported outside said, "It's there."

"Sir, not an assassin, but a pirate." An official behind him said in surprise: "The East Sea pearls are stored on that ship."

Han Xuanchang obviously thought of it, his movements became extremely agile in an instant, and rushed out of Xu Yuan in a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Tele people quickly to rescue and leave some people to protect the Marquis!"

He pulled out a big knife from a soldier's waist and went to the deck. He saw the figures of No. 1 Wu Yi on the opposite side were crowded with excitement. Someone from No. 1 Wu A had already put on the wooden board and went to rescue him.

The moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is quiet, and the lanterns everywhere on the boat are very bright.

"How did they come?" An official behind Han Xuanchang said in surprise: "There are two of us warships guarding ahead."

"There are boats guarding the front, but there is no one in the reef group behind." Han Xuanchang's face was gloomy, and his face, which was originally handsome, was covered with frost: "We have neglected, they came from the reef group."

Several officials around him knelt down at the same time: "The official is negligent, please punish him!"

"It's useless to say this at this time." Han Xuanchang held his knife and rushed to Wu Yi: "You must protect the pearl!"

More than a dozen soldiers immediately followed Han Xuanchang and went to rescue him.

A man ran towards him, holding a knife in his hand, with a few traces of blood on his face: "Sir, the pirates want to seize the pearls, but we killed them. The pearls are safe, and they are also retreating."

“How many people are there?”

"Twenty or thirty people." The person who came replied, "It must be a pirate, but I don't know which group it was. I have already asked them to catch a few living people." He said with a terrified expression: "Just..."

When Han Xuanchang saw that the pirates there were already fighting and retreating. Under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, he was at a disadvantage. He was slightly relieved and frowned and said, "It's just what?"

"Reported to the Lord, I led someone to protect Mr. Xiao and the fifth young master, but they were not seen. The house was empty, and... and there seemed to be traces of fighting." The visitor replied carefully.

"Ah!" Han Xuanchang was shocked: "Mo'er... Mr. Xiao is gone?"

"yes!"

Han Xuanchang didn't say much, and led a group of people to the main cabin of Wu Yi. He saw that more than a dozen soldiers had gathered here and were searching everywhere. The big chair in the cabin fell to the ground, and the foot basin was also pressed upside down, and Xiao Tongguang and Han Mo were missing.

"I have been searched around, but there is no trace of the fifth young master." The subordinate said anxiously.

In the hearts of most people, few people care about Xiao Tongguang's whereabouts, but Han Xuanchang's only son, Han Mo, is the treasure of the Han family, and it must not be lost.

Han Xuanchang asked in a cold face and a low voice: "Have you caught the living?"

"Sir, the pirates advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and acted quickly. We killed four or five of them, and most of the others had jumped into the sea and escaped." The subordinate replied: "We have sent people to put down the boat and search the sea."

...

"Report!" One person rushed over to report: "The warship Chen Bingchen Ding sent a signal, and a pirate ship appeared, and they were already chasing him."

Han Xuanchang frowned, snorted coldly, and said lightly: "It is really easy for Cheng Xu to get trapped, so the pirate ships there will naturally drag them down."

A subordinate behind him stepped forward and said, "Sir, there is a pirate ship that drags our warship over there, and there are pirates who sneak up from the reef group on board. The plan is extremely careful. They seem to know the structure of our ship. They not only know where the Tibetan Pearl Cabin is, but also where Mr. Xiao is. Then they attack more and retreat with one blow..."

"I understand what you mean." Han Xuanchang nodded slowly: "We have spies inside."

The soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Almost all the soldiers and generals of the Han family on these two pearl-picking ships. In this era when aristocratic families are the top priority, people have a sense of loyalty to their masters in their bones, especially soldiers, who regard loyalty as an extremely noble virtue. It can be said that the loyalty of the soldiers of Donghai County to the Han family is far higher than the so-called "morning court". It has always been extremely rare for traitors to occur.

"Don't forget that the pirates themselves are all from Donghai County." Han Xuanchang looked around, and he was surrounded by his close friends, with eight points of anger and helplessness in his voice: "Outsiders bribed them, and the people on our ship will naturally not surrender, but those pirates...for the matter of traitors, we will investigate quickly. We will send someone to send letters to the sanctions and ask the Governor to send reinforcements to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Xiao at the sea!"

"Sir, even if the Governor sends a warship, I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao may not be able to find Mr. Xiao in this vast sea." Someone reminded: "It's better to find the spies first and then force them out of the traitor to whom they collude with. The whereabouts of the pirates should be found sooner."

Han Xuanchang shook his head and said, "Pirates arrest people is not hatred. They are probably just trying to blackmail money, and they will not hurt people for a while." After a pause, an extremely sharp light flashed in their eyes: "I'm afraid they don't know Han Mo's identity, so they dare to arrest them rashly. I asked the Governor to send a ship to search the sea, just to let the pirates know that the person they captured is very important, and my Han family will rescue them at all costs. In that case, they will not dare to do it easily. When the pirates turn around, they will definitely send people to contact us and discuss the ransom. At that time, we will find clues of them."

"Sir, wise!"

Han Xuanchang was extremely worried about Han Mo's safety, but he was also worried about Xiao Tongguang.

Xiao Tongguang is the nominal second-person figure of the Xiao family and the younger brother of Taishi Xiao. Although his abilities are not very good, his identity is there. Once something happens in Donghai County, the Xiao family will not care about the pirates or pirates, and they will definitely think that this was secretly planned by the Han family. At that time, in the eyes of the Xiao family, this was the provocation of the Han family and it was intolerable.

The power and strength of the Xiao family in Yanjing were enough to cause a strong blow to the members of the Han family's Yanjing faction. At that time, the Han family would face extremely dangerous dilemma.

Han Mo cannot have any accidents, and Xiao Tongguang cannot have any accidents!

The pirates had retreated in the dark, leaving only a few corpses. Han Xuanchang walked to the side of the boat, looked at the sea under the bright moon, his eyes flashed with cold light, and murmured to himself: "Han Mo would better not have anything to happen. If you hurt a hair, friends in the Dadong Sea, you are forcing me to ask for the "Sea King Order". Our ancestors are connected by blood, so I will ask for the "Sea King Order". It is not good for everyone. That is not the situation that my Han family wants to see!"

The sea breeze blows, with raindrops, making people feel a chill.
