Qiqi and her friends set off for the capital today. Some common people spontaneously lined the streets to see them off, thanking them for saving their lives. Her uncle and three brothers also saw her off outside the city.

The snow had melted, making the road a bit difficult to walk on. It was quite muddy. After walking for several days, they finally emerged from the snowy area and arrived in Yuncheng. Yuntian bought many gifts, and Qiqi brought out more than a dozen boxes of jewelry from her space as a betrothal gift for Sun Yuyan's sister. Master Yunjizi went to the Sun Mansion to discuss the marriage between her brother and Sun Yuyan's father.

When they arrived at the Sun Mansion, Sun Yuyan's father and Sun Baoyu hurried out to greet them.

Taoist Priest Yunji discussed with Sun Yuyan's father and they both agreed to the marriage of their two children.

Qiqi suggested to Sun Bofu that they travel to the capital to attend Sun Yuyan's wedding. Sun Baoyu enthusiastically agreed. Old Master Sun also agreed to go along. Qiqi also explained that Brother Yuntian had already bought a small courtyard for their family to live in, and the bridal sedan would be carried from the courtyard to the Jiang Mansion. This would also save Old Master Sun's face. Seeing his son-in-law's arrangements, Old Master Sun felt very relieved and spent two days packing. The dowry for Sun Yuyan, along with the dozen large boxes brought by Qiqi and the others, were then shipped to the capital.

The happiest person was Sun Baoyu, who saw Qiqi again and had not forgotten her big apple. Qiqi also liked her big brother and gave him a big plate of apples.

This time the road was bustling with activity, as a large group of people headed towards the capital.

Qiqi and her friends were resting and cooking at the edge of the woods when a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on Qiqi's shoulder. Qiqi quickly touched its head and untied the letter. Seeing the contents inside, she frowned. Zhou Jingze quickly took it, read it, and handed it to his master. The letter read: "Deputy Building Master Wang was captured in Haicheng by the enemies of the Secret Door." Qiqi discussed with her brothers and quickly rescued him. She asked her brothers to return to the capital to prepare for the wedding. Qiqi said that she had rescued Wang Yunlong and would go home immediately to attend their wedding. She took out three gifts for her sisters-in-law.

Qiqi discussed with his master and asked him to return to the Jiang Mansion to attend his brothers' wedding, so as not to let him travel such a long distance. "Brother Jingze and I can go." Taoist Master Yunjizi was worried and insisted on accompanying his two disciples.

The three of them rode in a carriage to Haicheng. Along the way, Qiqi recruited two secret guards to take turns driving the carriage, resting the horses but not the people. Fearing that her master might be exhausted, Qiqi sent him into a space, and she and her brother took turns entering the space to accompany him and rest.

It turned out that Wang Yunlong had come to Haicheng to investigate the man wearing a silver mask and was targeted by the Dark Door's enemies. The enemy was a merchant in Haicheng who had been hired by his employer to assassinate him several years ago. At that time, the Dark Door would accept orders from whoever offered the most money, regardless of whether the person was good or bad. Wang Yunlong had offended many people at the time, and many of them wanted to kill him. Wang Yunlong's martial arts skills were so great that he killed several people in return. Therefore, Qiqi forbade them from accepting random orders, only killing the bad guys and not the good ones. They tried not to accept orders as much as possible. Now the merchant's two children have grown up, learned martial arts from a master, and came down the mountain to seek revenge on Wang Yunlong. After searching for months, they finally ran into him in Haicheng.

The brother and sister set up their own caravan and recruited many thugs. It was one of their thugs who recognized Wang Yunlong and reported him to the brother and sister. They led a group of twenty or so men to surround the five of them.

Several of Wang Yunlong's men were injured and unable to get up. Outnumbered, Wang Yunlong was stabbed by the girl and trapped. Asked who hired him, Wang Yunlong swore to his death that no one in their line of work could betray their employer. Seeing no clues, the girl used Wang Yunlong as a trap to send someone from the secret door to rescue him. Someone would give in under duress; it was the quickest way to get information about their enemies.

In reality, Wang Yunlong and his men hadn't killed their father; their employer had deliberately pinned the blame on them. The employer approached Wang Yunlong and his men, gave them money, and told them to go to the dock and kill the merchant at a certain time. In reality, the employer arrived 25 minutes early and stabbed the merchant.

When Wang Yunlong arrived, the merchant was lying on the ground. He turned him over and saw a knife stuck in his chest. The merchant's two children also quietly came to the dock and saw the final scene. They believed that Wang Yunlong had killed their father.

Wang Yunlong had just explained that he had been tricked and made a scapegoat. Blinded by hatred, the brother and sister refused to believe Wang Yunlong's words.

Wang Yunlong and several of his brothers were imprisoned in the basement of the trading house. Several groups of people came from the secret door, and some were captured. They were no match for the brothers and sisters. They had no choice but to send a message to Qiqi.

Qiqi heard the report from the secret guard driving the carriage and understood the whole story. The only way to solve the case was to find the employer. Judging from the situation of the siblings, Wang Yunlong and the others would not be killed for the time being, Qiqi felt relieved.

Qiqi asked the secret guards about their employer. The secret guards only knew that the employer's surname was Wang, and he was also a merchant in Haicheng, shipping goods. The merchant's surname was Wei, also a shipping merchant. Their two families were competitors. They knew nothing else. "Inform the secret guards in Haicheng not to provoke conflict with the Wei siblings for the time being. First, secretly investigate whether the employer surnamed Wang is in Haicheng. If you don't know him, see how many surnamed Wangs are on the cargo and check them one by one."

Have your secret guards spread the word that the earlier murders were a racket. Just by saying that, the Wei siblings will become suspicious and investigate. Wouldn't it be better to have one more person investigating? That would make Wang's employer uneasy. Worried that the Wei siblings would kill him, he might even hire someone through the secret door to kill him. This time, it wouldn't be a frame-up. It would be a genuine murder for hire.

The secret guards spread the news, and Qiqi also arrived in Haicheng. They hadn't received any orders for hired assassins yet. Qiqi told them not to worry. She also released the Wei siblings, who had mastered martial arts, and said even dozens of people couldn't defeat them.

Qiqi and Jingze came to the beach hand in hand. The scenery at the beach was like a flowing painting, refreshing. The sun shone on the sea, the waves sparkled, and the green water rippled gently. The beach sand was soft and delicate, washed clean by the sea water. The reefs in the distance had experienced wind and rain, showing their unique beauty. There were endless people on the beach. They were playing in the waves. The children dug sand holes on the beach to lead the waves of sea water into the holes, and saw the destructive power of the sea water. Qiqi also took off his shoes and came to the water. Zhou Jingze was worried about him being alone. He also took off his shoes, lifted his clothes and followed him into the water. The sea water submerged Qiqi's feet. Qiqi used his hands to play with water and had a water fight with Jingze. The two had a lot of fun.

Qiqi and her companion returned to the inn when a secret guard arrived to report a murder. Qiqi told them not to answer the call and to tell the caller to have the real perpetrator come in person to discuss the matter. When the real perpetrator arrived, he wanted to notify her, and Qiqi planned to meet him in person.

In the evening, the employer's men came to inform us that the employer would have time to discuss business with the landlord the next day. Qiqi told his men to wait for us on the third floor of the Baoshan Restaurant next door the next afternoon.

Qiqi and her friend went to her family's restaurant to eat seafood. The owner was very polite to them. Although she didn't know that Qiqi was the owner of this restaurant, she was very satisfied with their service. At the end of the meal, Qiqi didn't show her badge to get a free meal. She paid the money and went to enjoy the night view.

Across from the Baoshan Restaurant was a teahouse where Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were sitting and drinking tea. A secret guard stood beside them, his eyes fixed on the restaurant's entrance.

Qiqi said, "My brothers should be home by now. I'm going to disappoint my parents again. Brother Yunlei said they look forward to my return every day. My two brothers have brought their wives home, which might alleviate some of Mom's longing for me. Plus, with all three of my brothers planning a wedding, she's even busier now."

"Yeah, let's finish this as soon as possible and then we'll go back."

Qiqi ordered the secret guard to go down and keep an eye on the vicinity of the restaurant, and to make a gesture when the employer came.

The master asked Qiqi to release him from the space, as he was worried about his two disciples. Qiqi released the master and poured him a cup of tea.

"Qiqi, you two, be careful. He set a trap for Wang Yunlong, and he might set a trap for you too." Yun Jizi said.

"Master, don't worry. Don't you see who my master is? He can set a trap for others." Qiqi replied.

"Master, please be kind to your eldest disciple as a bodyguard for your younger sister." Jingze also said poorly.

At this time, the secret guard downstairs made a gesture and pointed at the middle-aged man who had just entered. Qiqi nodded.

"You two naughty monkeys, be careful, I'm here. If you have anything to say, shout loudly, I can hear you."

"Master, just wait for good news."
