Chapter 240 Abrupt
When the Xin family soldiers heard that Captain Chen wanted the Crown Princess to go on board again, they felt nervous, fearing that the Crown Princess would agree to go on the fishing boat alone. After all, the Crown Princess looked hospitable and would easily trust others.
Jiang Lili said to Captain Chen with confidence, "Don't worry, eat first and we'll talk later. We're all old acquaintances, so we're not afraid that you'll default on your debt."
Looking at Jiang Lili's genuine smile, Captain Chen didn't know what to say, so he called the fishermen to eat: "Brothers, it's time to eat!"
They were really hungry, and the coconut chicken hotpot was so delicious that the unfamiliar fishermen couldn't help themselves and started to eat it. Only a few of them said that they were full from the vegetable and dried fish porridge and did not eat the hotpot.
The villagers who had just pitched their tents in the nearby fishing village all leaned over to the coconut chicken hotpot, swallowing their saliva frantically. However, because of the presence of the village chief, they could only smell the food and desperately inhale the aroma with their noses.
After eating for half an hour, the hot pot soup base was almost finished!
After the hot pot, Chen, the chief, began to discuss handing over the fish on the boat to Jiang Lili: "Miss Jiang, do you want the same price as last time? In exchange for fish?"
"Okay." Jiang Lili showed an embarrassment on her face: "Today my helpers have gone into the mountains to hunt. No one can help me move so many fish off the boat. I will just leave them on your fishing boat for now."
After hearing what Jiang Lili said, Captain Chen subconsciously looked at a tall, thin and handsome young man not far from him. The young man was also the captain of one of the fishing boats. His name was Fei Di. He had a light blue triangular scarf around his neck and his clothes were a flying fish sleeve style with silver wave ripples on the cuffs. He looked very energetic and was a handsome and elegant captain.
These fishermen seemed to respect his opinion. Jiang Lili had just heard them talking at the table and said that Captain Fei's ancestors were all fishermen, and they had a special skill in finding fish schools and predicting the weather at sea.
Chief Chen said to the young man, "Chief Fei, then don't worry about it for now?"
The handsome young man nodded and said to Jiang Lili with a smile in his eyes: "Then please trouble Miss to arrange accommodation for us. I wonder if you have enough tents here?"
He glanced at the tents near the fishing village, then leaned forward and spoke seriously into Jiang Lili's eyes.
"Compared to those people, I still think Miss Jiang is more trustworthy."
Fei Di has fox-shaped eyes, which are curved when he smiles, revealing a clear light. He is very smart and can instantly bring people closer.
Jiang Lili was still trying to figure out the identity of this young man, but was overwhelmed by Fei Di's straightforwardness. Not knowing how to respond, she could not help but step back a few steps to distance herself from him. She just nodded frantically and said, "It's enough. There are enough tents. I'll ask them to move them to the warehouse."
Fei Di looked at the rather panicked Jiang Lili, his fox eyes curved even more, and he took a few steps forward, revealing a hearty smile, "Miss Jiang, I'm not a shark, I'm not that scary, am I?"
He pulled out a red coral bracelet from his sleeve and said, "Our fleet is resting here. Thank you for your concern, Miss Jiang. This is a small thank you gift."
The hearts of the Xin family soldiers present tightened again!
They stared at Fei Di calmly, and clenched the coconuts, kitchen knives, long spoons and fire starters in their hands.
Could it be that on such a small island, they could encounter a male vixen who wanted to steal the prince's girl?
The Xin family soldiers were somewhat worried. After years of practicing martial arts, they only knew how to protect the safety of the Crown Prince's wife, but they had never learned how to protect the Crown Prince's marriage!
Jiang Lili narrowed her eyes, feeling that the person opposite her was teasing her, and she was a little annoyed: "I'm sorry, I'm a vulgar person and can't appreciate jewelry. I only love silver. If you want to express your gratitude, just give more money to our village!"
Fei Di took a look at the pear blossom hairpin on Jiang Lili's head and said, "The pear blossom hairpin on Miss Jiang's head is not an ordinary one. The workmanship is very exquisite."
Jiang Lili touched the hairpin on her head and retorted, "This was given to me by my husband, so of course it's different."
The Xin family soldiers were almost moved to tears when they heard this. If only the prince was there to hear this! Woo woo woo, I'm touched. The prince's wife is so good. She gives the prince a sense of security.
"I see. I was a little rude. Please don't blame me, Miss Jiang."
Fei Di thought that the sweet and well-behaved girl in front of him looked like a little rabbit with fangs bared when she got angry, which was quite interesting. He put away the bracelet and went to talk to Chen Huochang.
At night, tents were set up one after another on this side of the village, and the fishermen moved into the tents one after another. However, only a few people were interested in the tents set up near the fishing village, and business seemed very miserable.
Before leaving, the chief of Jinyu Village stood on the center line and cursed at Yeli Village.
When it was dark, Jiang Lili received a message from Wen Qiao.
[@Wen Qiao: In the photos you sent me, two people are from the Mi Kingdom tribe. They are from the Mi Kingdom royal family! ]
Jiang Lili realized that the fishermen were in collusion with the royal family of Mi State, and she wanted to conceal the truth and catch them all in one fell swoop under the moonlight.
These people arrived so quickly, obviously they had already prepared to set off in advance. The navy of the Mi Kingdom was still on the way, and these people were all members of the royal family. Their relatives and friends were naturally also from the Mi Kingdom royal family. They were ambitious, and it seemed that they were going to have a tough battle to fight.
Jiang Lili looked at the two photos carefully. One old and one young, they were the elder and prince of the royal family of Mi Kingdom.
Jiang Lili remembered Fei Di, who she wanted to give a bracelet to when they met today, and she sent Fei Di's photo to Wen Qiao: [What about this person? Does he have any special identity? ]
【@温翘: No, I think this person is a little different, and I paid special attention to him, asking everyone to think carefully about whether they have seen this person. Everyone said that he looked unfamiliar, and he didn't look like a Mi countryman. 】
【All right. 】
Jiang Lili always felt uneasy when she thought of Fei Di's fox eyes.
She originally wanted to put the recorder in the tent where Fei Di lived after he moved in, but Fei Di said he was used to living on the boat.
*
The fishing boat where Fei Di lived.
Fei Di sat cross-legged on a lamb wool cushion. He was wearing a loose gold-woven robe and his hair was loose.
One of the people kneeling in front of him was Zhang Zhao, the eldest of the two brothers of the Zhang family.
Zhang Zhao bowed his head devoutly: "High Priest, what have you discovered today?"
Fei Di closed his eyes: "There is no smell of poison on the Crown Prince's Concubine."
"Or maybe Xin Che wasn't poisoned."
"Or..." He paused, a playful expression on his face: "She has never been close to the prince, and today she is just pretending to be affectionate."
Zhang Zhao was a little annoyed. He originally thought that sensing the poisonous aura on Xin Che was equivalent to grasping his weakness: "Then what should we do? Originally, I thought I could use Jiang Lili as a hostage to threaten Xin Che."
"Do you still want to do it tonight?"
Fei Di said coldly: "The navy will take at least two days to arrive, why would you start a war?"
"First, send two skilled men on the boat to kidnap Jiang Lili and see if they can lure Xin Che out. We'll know their relationship after we test it out."
