I used the space to empty the pirates' private vault.

Shadow and Leng Mei took the smelly socks out of the two men's mouths, then took out the poison hidden in their teeth, and then closed their mouths.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?"

"Hmph! Evil King, you rely on the emperor's favor, you are arrogant and conceited, and your arrogant personality has offended countless people. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

One of the men in black sneered.

"Yes, that's right. It's because there are too many people who are my enemy, so I asked who sent you to assassinate me."

"We won't tell anyone even if we die. If you have the guts, get someone to investigate."

After this man finished speaking, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, and that man did the same.

"Your Majesty, this... our clues are broken again."

Shadow muttered quietly.

Feng Wuhen glanced coldly at the two corpses in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, then immediately relaxed.

"Go search the bodies of these people and see if you can find any clues."

A minute later, only Shadow found a token carved from black wood with a crescent moon engraved on it from among the corpses.

After Feng Wuhen looked at the black wooden token, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

After thinking for a few seconds, he gave the order: "Throw all these bodies into the sea to feed the fish, clean up the blood on the boat, speed up the boat, and we will return to the island."

Feng Wuhen's ship had been sailing on the sea for only half an hour when thick white fog rose from the sea, obscuring the view within five meters around their ship.

But Feng Wuhen's boat still went into the white fog. After sailing for about a quarter of an hour, Feng Wuhen took out a white ring-shaped jade pendant and shone it into the air. Suddenly, a golden light shone on their heads. Then, their boat disappeared on the sea in the blink of an eye and entered an endless, white fog.

This scene made Jiang Yimo and Qingzhu open their mouths in shock, not understanding what was going on.

Feng Wuhen saw the two people's confused expressions and explained with some amusement: "This is the formation that I personally set up here. People on the island who want to go out, or people outside who want to come in, must pass through this formation of mine. But those who don't have the pass token issued by me cannot pass through this formation smoothly, including you, master and servant."

Feng Wuhen specifically reminded them.

Hearing this, Jiang Yimo glanced at him, raised her eyebrows speechlessly, and said casually: "Then why did you set up this formation near your own island?"

After Jiang Yimo asked this question, she realized that her question was very stupid, but it was too late for her to change her words.

Then Feng Wuhen replied: "You just saw it too. There are too many people in this world who want me dead. If I don't defend my territory well, there will be so many people trying to assassinate me every day that I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"Oh! It's all your fault that you are so cruel and always like to kill people. You make others hate you. If they don't kill you, who else will they kill?"

Jiang Yimo retorted.

"I am too lazy to explain to you. A little girl doesn't understand anything."

Feng Wuhen turned his face away awkwardly, not wanting to pay any more attention to Jiang Yimo.

At this time, their ship finally came out of the white fog and returned to the sea. After that, their ship sailed for a while before arriving at Feng Wuhen's island pier.

Jiang Yimo looked up and saw that the scenery on the island under the sunset was so beautiful that it took her breath away.

The entire island was shrouded in golden afterglow, as if covered with a layer of golden veil.

The sea surface is sparkling, and with the rise and fall of the waves, it flashes charming light.

The trees, buildings and beaches on the island were dyed golden by the setting sun, like a beautiful painting.

That night when Jiang Yimo was brought to the island by Feng Wuhen, she did not see such a beautiful scenery.

"Wow, miss, this island is so beautiful, it's like a paradise."

Qingzhu couldn't help but exclaim when he saw such a beautiful scene.

"Well, this place is almost like a paradise."

Jiang Yimo replied to Qingzhu casually.

"Miss, this is a paradise."

Qingzhu said with a chuckle.

Feng Wuhen listened to the conversation between the master and servant, and suddenly interrupted, "Since you like this place so much, Miss Jiang should stay on the island permanently."

Feng Wuhen said this to Jiang Yimo on purpose.

"Thank you, Lord Xie, for taking us in. However, it is definitely not appropriate for two unmarried girls like us to live here permanently. After I have cured the poison for you, I hope you will have someone escort me off the island."

Feng Wuhen listened without answering her. He strode past her, got off the boat first, and walked towards his house on the island. Anying and Leng Mei also followed him off the boat.

When Qingzhu saw that everyone had gotten off the boat, he quickly pulled his young lady off as well.

……

At night, the bright moonlight shone into Feng Wuhen's yard, making his yard even quieter and more deserted.

Feng Wuhen stood alone on the small bridge in the yard, his posture as straight as a pine tree, looking up at the moon, lost in thought.

At this time, Shadow stepped forward.

"Your Highness, we still haven't found any trace of the third pirate leader, Brother Braid, who jumped into the sea and escaped that night. Do we still need our people to wait on the shore?"

"No need. Let them all retreat. Don't alert the enemy. I want to find out whether the person behind the smuggling of salt to Yue Kingdom in the past two years has any connection with these pirates."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will do it right away." Shadow answered respectfully.

Then, he planned to bow and leave, but just after taking two steps back, he was stopped by Feng Wuhen again.

"Shadow, has anyone sent dinner to the little girl?"

"Your Highness, the kitchen has followed your instructions and asked someone about Miss Jiang's preferences. They have prepared delicious meals and sent them to the master and servant." Shadow said.

"That's good! Let the servants on the island take good care of her food and shelter, and send them anything she needs."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

After hearing Shadow's reply, Feng Wuhen said in a clear and cold voice.

"Go back."

Shadow turned and left Feng Wuhen's yard.

……

As for Jiang Yimo, she and Qingzhu stayed in the small courtyard arranged by Feng Wuhen for them. The servants in the house also thoughtfully brought them dinner, which included four dishes and one soup, including fish, meat, vegetables and snacks, all of which were the master and servant's favorites.

The people in Feng Wuhen's kitchen were very considerate. When they were cooking in the evening, they specifically asked about their food preferences. However, Jiang Yimo and Qingzhu were not picky about food, so they told them to cook whatever they were good at.

Jiang Yimo looked at the delicious food on the small table, swallowed, and then she remembered that she had not had a proper meal since she traveled here.

These days I have been filling my stomach with steamed buns or dry food.

The same goes for Qingzhu. She, the original owner, and the wet nurse all lived in a small courtyard in the back mountain of the Jiang Mansion. Their life was not good. They went hungry one day and filled up the next. They looked pale and hungry.

Madam Ruan of the Jiang family did not give the original owner any monthly allowance, and would not allow anyone to send meat to the three of them. Usually, they were so craving for meat that the wet nurse would secretly leave the back mountain and go to the beach to pick up some fish or some small seafood to cook and eat.

But the wet nurse didn’t know how to cook seafood, and she didn’t have any sauce for it. Every time she cooked seafood, it had a strong fishy smell, and the original owner and Qingzhu couldn’t eat it at all.

So, when Qingzhu saw the delicious food on the table, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Miss, this food smells so good. I'm so hungry!"

Qingzhu kept staring at the food on the table and reached out to touch his empty stomach.

"Haha, I'm also very hungry. Come, Qingzhu, sit down and let's eat."

Later, the master and servant swept away all the food on the table in a flash. After they were full, they stretched and called the servants to clean up the dirty dishes.

The two servants who were cleaning up the dirty dishes couldn't believe that the two of them could finish such a large table of food so quickly and eat it so cleanly.

After dinner, Qingzhu made the bed for her while Jiang Yimo leaned against the door, looking up at the moon in the sky, thinking about how to detoxify Feng Wuhen.
