On the flying ship:
Gu Hai grabbed the letter of guarantee that City Lord He wrote and looked at it. Then, he revealed a faint smile and said, "Alright, it's time to go and fish for dragons."
"Using this letter of guarantee? What is this for? "Long Wanqing asked, feeling curious.
"Take a look at it again!" Gu Hai smiled.
Long Wanqing looked at the letter of guarantee that City Lord He wrote earlier and revealed some doubt. After looking at it for a while, her expression changed, and she sniffed it.
"This is not ink?" Long Wanqing exclaimed in shock.
"Cuttlefish juice! It is also known as cuttlefish juice! "Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Cuttlefish? Cuttlefish? I heard that some people use cuttlefish juice to write IOUs and borrow money from others. However, after the IOUs are written for a while, the words will vanish. Hence, cuttlefish is also known as cuttlefish, "Venerable Liu Nian said with a change in expression.
"Venerable is very knowledgeable. Indeed," Gu Hai said with a faint smile.
"The words vanish? You are doing this for the official seal that City Lord He stamped? You filled in the words again? "Long Wanqing asked with a change in expression.
"That's right!" Gu Hai said with a nod.
"However, I heard that the words written in cuttlefish ink take half a year to vanish," Venerable Liu Nian said, feeling suspicious.
"The words written in cuttlefish ink vanish on their own because the protein in it decomposes and oxidizes. Indeed, it takes half a year. However, I do not need it to decompose and decompose. Hence, I used silk cloth to write the letter of guarantee for City Lord He and not paper," Gu Hai said with a smile.
With a flip of his hand, Gu Hai took out a small bucket filled with a transparent liquid with some lotus root fragments in it.
"This is lotus root juice, which can be used to wash cuttlefish juice. After washing it, just rinse it with clean water and dry it, "Gu Hai explained.
"Lotus root juice and cuttlefish juice? Really? "Long Wanqing asked, feeling curious.
After saying that, Long Wanqing started doing it herself.
Indeed, after washing with the lotus root juice, the cuttlefish juice was quickly washed clean.
"Is it really clean? Gu Hai, how did you think of it? "Long Wanqing was pleasantly surprised.
Gu Hai looked at the clean cloth, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"When I was young, when my clothes were stained with cuttlefish juice, my mother would help me wash them clean like this!" After Gu Hai finished speaking, he sighed slightly.
At the side, Venerable Liu Nian felt slightly stunned, showing some curiosity.
Gu Hai's mother?
Venerable Liu Nian had investigated Gu Hai in Nine-Five Island. However, there was no news of Gu Hai before the age of thirty. It was like Gu Hai appeared out of nowhere, exceptionally strange. No one could find out who Gu Hai's parents were.
Long Wanqing did not notice this detail. Instead, she carefully washed the silk cloth and dried it, leaving only City Lord He's official seal.
"Give me the cloth, I'll write. I've seen City Lord He's handwriting many times, it shouldn't be hard to imitate!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Silver Moon Island:
Sima Changkong had been paying attention to Gu Hai's group. Although Long Wanqing quickly put away the imperial edict, Sima Changkong still saw it.
"An imperial edict?" Sima Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sima Changkong turned his head and looked at a nearby zither master. Without moving his lips, he sent a voice projection into the other zither master's ears.
"Send word to keep a close eye on He Shikang's movements. Also, send people to search for Gu Hai's group and secretly follow them. If anything happens, report to me immediately!"
That zither master nodded respectfully and slowly left the plaza.
Silver Moon Sea:
Young Master An and Fang Minghou left Silver Moon Island again.
"Young Master An, among the zither masters, we have people keeping an eye on He Shikang. Although there was a soundproof array when they were talking, we have people who are good at lip-reading and can see clearly. Besides talking about Long Xiaoyue's death, they also talked about Gu Hai's treatment in the mansion!" Fang Minghou said Solemnly.
"I'm not worried about He Shikang being watched all the time. I'm just worried about Gu Hai? Haha? The little thing that I didn't care about before, now, now …! "Young Master An said with a gloomy face.
"Gu Hai said 'great power' twice in a disdainful tone, maybe …!"
"No maybe, humph, as long as Gu Hai enters the mansion, my power will be completely gone. He's mocking me, mocking me!" Young Master An said with an ugly face.
Fang Minghou was silent for a while.
Young Master An's face was gloomy and uncertain. After a while, his eyes turned cold and he said, "Fang Minghou, help me kill Gu Hai!"
"Kill Gu Hai? Young Master An, Mr. Mo told me not to do anything to Gu Hai! "Fang Minghou's face changed.
"Not to do anything to Gu Hai? No, this Sea-sealing Bounded Domain only lasts for ten days. That's the only chance. If you kill him quietly, Mr. Mo won't know. Otherwise, once Gu Hai enters the mansion, my status will be gone. I'm the eldest grandson! "Young Master An said with a gloomy face.
"But …!"
"No buts. Gu Hai died in Silver Moon Sea because of the Old Heightslord. It has nothing to do with us. You're my man. If I lose my status, you'll be excluded too! If I'm proud, you're proud! If I'm destroyed, you're destroyed! Grandfather asked you to protect me. If you don't do anything now, I'll be in trouble once Gu Hai gains power! "Young Master An said as he stared at Fang Minghou.
Fang Minghou frowned and pondered.
Young Master An stared at Fang Minghou.
After a while, Fang Minghou nodded and said, "I can. Of those four, the only one I'm worried about is Venerable Liu Nian!"
Seeing that Fang Minghou was helping him, Young Master An immediately smiled and said, "It's fine. It's still ten days. There will be a time when I'm alone! We'll go find Gu Hai and think of a way to lure Venerable Liu Nian away. Then, we'll deal with Gu Hai!
Fang Minghou nodded.
"Good. Let's go find Gu Hai now!" A cold light flashed in Young Master An's eyes.
Silver Moon Island:
The people in the square left one after another. The guqin masters who were listening also seemed to have found their direction and left one after another. Soon, only the Old Heightslord and the Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciples were left in the square.
"Manor Lord, shall we return to the house?" Yun Mo asked worriedly.
The Old Heightslord closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. "There's no need to worry about me. Yun Mo, I heard the guqin masters use their music to attract spirits. It was really nice. I'll just sit here."
"However, the wind is strong here," Yun Mo said worriedly.
"It's fine. I'm already on the verge of death. What's there to worry about with the Five Decays of the Heavenly Being? My lifespan is almost up, and it doesn't matter where I am. Go and do what you need to do. Don't disturb me. I want to continue listening! "the Old Heightslord said as he shook his head.
Yun Mo remained silent for a while before nodding.
The Old Heightslord sat at the very front with his eyes closed. Occasionally, he smiled. His face flushed red as if he was experiencing terminal lucidity.
"Young Manor Lord, the Old Heightslord's current condition …" a Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciple said with an unsightly expression.
Everyone could tell that the Old Heightslord was on the verge of death.
The Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciples revealed sad expressions. Then, they looked at the Young Manor Lord, Yun Mo.
Everyone looked at Yun Mo as if they were waiting for his orders.
Yun Mo bit his lips, a conflicted look flashing in his eyes.
After a while, Yun Mo's eyes settled. A ferocious look flashed on his face as he looked at the surrounding sea and slowly clenched his fists.
Then, he nodded gently.
The surrounding Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciples showed joy on their faces as they bowed respectfully to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo waved his sleeve, and the Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciples nodded. Then, they quietly left and started laying out formations around Silver Moon Island.
The Old Heightslord was engrossed in the pleasant music and did not notice the actions of Yun Mo and the others.
However, Yun Mo waited quietly by the Old Heightslord's side. He used hand signals to instruct the Silver Moon Mountain Villa disciples.
Silver Moon Ocean, South Region: Where the dragons guarded: Fog shrouded three islands in a triangle shape on the surface of the sea.
Gu Hai's group had already put away their flying ship. A small boat carried the four of them to one of the islands.
However, at this moment, the four's appearances had changed somewhat.
Venerable Liu Nian wore a wig, and the four wore official robes. Gu Hai had done some makeup on their faces.
"Gu Hai, your makeup skills are amazing. With just a few strokes, you completely changed them?" Long Wanqing exclaimed in shock.
"It's just a small trick!" Gu Hai smiled faintly.
"Give me that eyelash curler and eyebrow pencil! And that foundation! "Long Wanqing looked at herself in the mirror, not daring to recognize her.
"No problem! Later, I'll get someone to make you the best! "Gu Hai smiled.
"Your Majesty, they discovered us!" Shangguan Hen suddenly shouted.
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow shot over from the distance.
"Duo!"
The sharp arrow nailed itself to the bow of the ship, causing the tail to tremble.
"Who are you? You are not allowed to come close!" A shout suddenly came from the island.
Gu Hai extended his hand and tossed it.
Whoosh!
A jade box immediately shot into the island.
"Huh?" The people in the distance felt slightly stunned.
Clack!
A young general on the island immediately caught the jade box. When he opened it, he saw a silk handkerchief with City Lord He's seal.
"Oh? Don't shoot. The City Lord sent them! "that young general immediately shouted.
The small boat continued heading to the island.
There were ritual arrays around the island. However, with this silk handkerchief, no one stopped them. The group easily entered the island.
When they reached the island, a group of soldiers immediately surrounded them.
"Who are you? Why do you look unfamiliar? "the young general leading the group asked with a frown.
"Are you blind? Does Lord Gu of the Prince's Residence need to report to you? Go and get your highest ranking official! "Shangguan Hen suddenly shouted as he glared at Xiao Chen.
"Huh?" That young general felt stunned.
"Yes!"
Although he was scolded, he did not dare to retort. Lord Gu? Which Lord Gu? This young general did not recognize him, but it was enough to know that he came from the Prince's Residence. Furthermore, Lord Gu wanted to meet the general. Why should I interfere? With the City Lord's order to introduce me, what should I worry about? I'll let the general make the decision.
Under the escort of the soldiers, Gu Hai's group swaggered onto the island. Along the way, Venerable Liu Nian looked around.
"How is it?" Gu Hai asked in a whisper.
"There are about two thousand soldiers. There should not be any powerful characters." Venerable Liu Nian nodded.
"Right. Be careful later!" Gu Hai nodded.
"You have the City Lord's order. What are you worried about?" Long Wanqing laughed softly.
