The two chatted for a while, then washed up and went to bed.

But the two of them were sleeping soundly when Mingyue, who was on duty at night, called out to Shangguanziqi in a low voice outside the window.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Shangguan Ziqi has very sensitive five senses, and he opened his eyes as soon as Mingyue called out.

He immediately put on his clothes and came out.

However, the creaking sound of the door opening in this farmyard was quite loud, and Yu Yuanzheng was woken up by the sound.

He also put on his clothes and came out.

As a result, I saw two people standing at the door, besides Mingyue, there was also a deputy general named Feng Lei.

It was during this voyage that Shangguan Ziqi was his most capable assistant and one of the generals in the navy.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Feng Lei bowed, "Five soldiers in the camp went out for the night and never returned. I don't know why, so I took people to search nearby, but no one was there. But I didn't dare take people to the farmers' houses. Every household was filled with women."

After finally reaching land, everyone wanted to have a good sleep, so he only arranged ten people to keep watch.

But in the second half of the night, five of them got up to urinate.

As a result, one after another, they went into the woods and disappeared.

None of them came back.

The night watchman reported to him.

He and a few brothers searched the woods near the camp, even looking for where they urinated, but they couldn't find anyone.

He was anxious and had to alarm the prince.

Shangguan Ziqi was stunned when he heard this.

Is there some danger on this island that they don’t know about?

"Madam, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. You're a woman, so it's easier for you to handle it. We should go find Granny Ye and Granny Cui now. We need to ask them about this matter."

"Ah."

The two returned to their room and put on their clothes.

The two maids were also awakened by the noise.

"Princess, what happened?" Lixiang asked.

"Five of our soldiers are missing. Hurry up and put on your clothes and follow me to ask Granny Ye and the others."

Several people quickly came to where Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui lived.

Both of them lived not far from the square.

The two old men were woken up, and Yu Yuanzheng told them the situation in a few words.

"Grandma Ye, is there any danger on this island? Why did our soldiers disappear without a sound?" Yu Yuanzheng asked anxiously.

The two mothers-in-law frowned and thought for a while before looking at Yu Yuanzheng.

"Princess, there has never been any danger on the island except for the typhoons every year." Grandma Ye said truthfully.

"If that's the case, why did our people disappear?" Shangguan Ziqi heard something unclear.

Since it is not a natural danger, it must be a man-made danger.

"Oh, I'm confused. I roughly guessed where they went. I'll take you to find them." Grandma Ye was obviously helpless.

"Ye Chan, do you really want to take them to find someone?" Grandma Cui disagreed.

Obviously she should also know where the five soldiers went.

From their appearance, Yu Yuanzheng immediately guessed where the five of them had gone.

Someone must have secretly taken him away using shady means.

The purpose is obvious without having to think about it.

Stay and be a son-in-law.

But it’s such a big island with more than 800 people and at least 200 households. If they didn’t have the two grandmothers to lead the way, how long would it take them to find everyone if they had to search every household?

"Second Sister Cui, we can't be confused.

Although the Emperor did not explicitly promise to help us today, judging from the half-day contact we have had, he will definitely help us.

The princess also intends to help us find the cause of the curse. We cannot allow the villagers to make mistakes and offend the emperor.

Those people they brought with them could easily kill us all. "Don't you see that each of those men is a hundred times stronger than ours?" Granny Ye saw it clearly.

Granny Cui lowered her head after hearing what she said.

"You take these two girls to the east, and I'll take the prince and princess to the west." Granny Ye pushed Granny Cui directly, "Go quickly, don't waste time. If you're late, I'm afraid something might happen."

Granny Cui had no choice but to take Lixiang and Taoxiang to the east. Shangguan Ziqi asked Mingyue and Feng Lei to follow with a few brothers.

Grandma Ye led Yu Yuanzheng and his wife, and several guards to the west.

It took about two quarters of an hour to walk.

Came to a relatively large yard.

There was still a dim light on inside, which showed that the owner was not asleep at all.

"Mrs. Yang, open the door." Grandma Ye stepped forward and knocked on the door.

As a result, when she knocked on the door and shouted, the lights inside suddenly went out.

Shangguan Ziqi knew something was wrong at first sight and wanted to fly in using his Qing Kung Fu, but was stopped by Yu Yuanzheng.

And shook his head at him.

Not only are these villagers all women, they have no martial arts skills and have not been baptized by the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty. They act entirely according to their nature.

Call it reckless or ignorant, force cannot solve problems.

It will only intensify conflicts.

Since they know their difficulties, there is no need to make the relationship awkward.

"Mrs. Yang, open the door." Mrs. Ye knocked on the door a few more times and raised her voice.

Only then did the creaking sound of the wooden door come from inside.

Then I heard footsteps.

After a few breaths, the gate opened.

Under the faint moonlight, a woman in her forties walked out.

"Oh, it's Grandma Ye. Why are you here at this time? It's already late at night. You can't stay up late in your health. The villagers all over the island will have to work hard for you." Grandma Yang said with a flattering smile.

But her eyes kept scanning Shangguan Ziqi and others.

"Is there someone hiding in your house?" Grandma Ye asked directly without any nonsense.

"Grandma Ye, what are you talking about? Who can be hidden in my house? Men? There are only a few men on the island, and you have to count them yourself every day. How can we hide?" Grandma Yang refused to admit it.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise your family will be in big trouble. The people who came to the island today are not people we can afford to offend." Grandma Ye threatened, saying the consequences were very serious.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang's eyes flashed, and it was obvious that she was guilty.

"Take us in quickly." Grandma Ye shouted sternly.

Mrs. Yang was so frightened that she shrank back.

At this moment, footsteps and voices were heard from inside again.

"Big brother, you can't leave. Please, just stay. We will take good care of you. The four sisters in our family are all first-class laborers."

"Sister, stop talking nonsense and take the person back quickly."

"You, you are so shameless." The man's voice.

Shangguan Ziqi heard it, pushed Mrs. Yang in front of him, and walked into the yard in a few steps.

Under the moonlight, four women grabbed a man and prevented him from leaving.

The man obviously didn't have much strength and even seemed to have difficulty standing.

Shangguan Ziqi took a few steps forward, kicked the four women away, and supported the man.

It was one of the missing soldiers.

"General, I have been tricked." The soldier said ashamedly.

Yu Yuanzheng and Grandma Ye also hurried in.

"Mrs. Yang, you are so bold that you actually dare to bring back the human medicine." Grandma Ye was so angry that she pointed at Mrs. Yang's nose and cursed.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Mrs. Yang suddenly burst into tears.

Sit down on the ground.

"Oh my God, this is going to make us all extinct.

Grandma Ye, my eldest daughter is already 22 years old, and she hasn’t been scheduled to go up the mountain yet, and my youngest daughter is almost 17.

If I don't think of a solution, my four daughters will become old maids soon.

I don't ask for anything else, just that my daughter conceive. We just want his seed. Two days will do. Please, talk to them, just two days, two days, or even one day will do."

Mrs. Yang begged with tears and snot.
