The appointment with Li Jingyao was at Zuihua Pavilion outside the city.

The name is nice, but it is actually a dilapidated wooden pavilion. Yan Ruyu found it not far from the place where the three gangsters who tried to rob them were killed last time.

Li Jingyao has already arrived, one person with a sword, holding a wine bottle, leaning against the broken pavilion, drinking in front of the sunset.

As the sun sets, the clouds are dyed deep and shallow red, and the Zuihua Pavilion is reflected in the rich golden light, casting long shadows on the ground.

Li Jingyao has also become a silhouette. His appearance is really unclear, only infinite loneliness.

Yan Ruyu was slightly stunned.

Huo Changhe hummed.

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "Why are you humming, Your Majesty?"

"This water bandit doesn't look like a bandit at all, but he makes himself look like a swordsman." Huo Changhe muttered softly, "A stubble bitch."

Yan Ruyu: "..." This word cannot be used carelessly.

Li Jingyao turned around and saw them, put down the wine bottle, and strode over.

"coming."

Li Jingyao took off the two swords and handed them to Yan Ruyu: "The two swords were decided before. No matter whether I lose or win, the two swords will belong to you."

His knife is heavy in hand, very weighty, jet black, and has an excellent edge.

Yan Ruyu liked it very much.

"Thank you, Master, for your love!"

Huo Changhe slowly unsheathed his sword: "Let's make a move."

Li Jingyao said no more, Chi Xiao unsheathed his sword, the light of his sword flashed, like a rainbow in the last ray of sunset.

Yan Ruyu secretly praised: It is indeed a good sword!

As soon as Li Jingyao made a move, Yan Ruyu knew that he was a master of swordsmanship, with good skills and beautiful posture. He himself was like a stream of light, complementing Chi Xiao perfectly.

As for Huo Changhe, this was the first time Yan Ruyu had seen him formally use his sword to attack.

He had never encountered such a powerful enemy before, and he rarely dealt with him like this. Yan Ruyu's eyes slowly lit up.

Huo Changhe was like a torrent descending from the sky, surging, opening and closing, and making fierce moves.

Yan Ruyu unconsciously tightened her grip on the handle of the knife and watched intently. She was already enjoying herself just watching the battle.

I really want to join and have a good fight.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred moves passed by, and Li Jingyao laughed.

"Okay, have fun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his moves accelerated, and the light was like lightning, getting farther and farther away, like a ball of dancing light, surrounding Huo Changhe.

However, light cannot contain the raging current.

Yan Ruyu knew that this was Li Jingyao's last offensive.

Success or failure, right now!

"Shh!"

The light stopped.

Li Jingyao's chest rose and fell slightly, sweat dripped from his forehead, but there was a slight smile on his face.

His belt fell to the ground quietly.

Huo Changhe had no expression on his face and drew back his sword.

Li Jingyao sheathed Chixiao, stroked it solemnly, held it up with both hands, and approached Huo Changhe: "I lost."

Huo Changhe tightened his lips, took Chi Xiao with both hands, looked up at him, and said without the slightest contempt: "You are a very good opponent."

Li Jingyao smiled, turned to the Zuihua Pavilion, took the wine pot, and took out a small wine gourd from behind the pillar, returned to Huo Changhe, and handed the wine gourd to him.

"have a drink!"

Huo Changhe nodded, took the gourd, and took a sip.

The smile on Li Jingyao's face grew stronger, he took a sip of wine and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"

Huo Changhe said nothing, and Yan Ruyu said, "As long as I'm here, you can't poison him."

Li Jingyao laughed and took another sip of wine: "Girl, what I said last time..."

"The leader of the village has made a promise, and I will go as promised. Where are your patients and friends? I will go with you."

Li Jingyao's eyes were filled with joy: "When?"

"at any time."

"Is it possible now?"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other, and Huo Changhe said, "Are you going to the water village?"

"Exactly," Li Jingyao nodded, "My friend has limited mobility."

He thought for a moment and then said, "If you two are worried, I can bring them out."

Huo Changhe hung Chi Xiao on the sword ring: "There is nothing to worry about."

Li Jingyao was slightly startled, but a smile appeared in his eyes again.

"Thank you for your trust."

Huo Changhe glanced at him: "If you are not worthy of my trust, then I won't let you own the theater."

Li Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Please."

Yan Ruyu asked: "Master, I have something to ask you."

"Girl, please speak."

"Three gangsters were killed near here. Was it someone from your water village who did it?"

Li Jingyao nodded without hesitation: "Not bad."

"Why? Aren't they your people?"

Li Jingyao laughed coldly: "Of course not. Those three guys are vicious and cruel, bullying men and women. Although our village is doing business without money, we will never tolerate such unsavory things."

"Because they are doing evil nearby and colluding with the county government in the city, I have issued a killing order. All brothers in the village will be killed immediately if they see them!"

Only then did Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe realize that this was the case.

I thought it was so complicated, but it turned out to be so simple.

The three bandits wanted to take advantage of the reputation and power of the water village to pull the flag, and even hooked up with Huo Changxian. They were not tolerated by the real water village and were directly killed.

The doubts were resolved, and Yan Ruyu's affection for Li Jingyao increased.

He rode his horse to the dock near the water village, abandoned his horse and boarded the boat. The water on the river was surging and the boat was stable. Yan Ruyu stood on the bow of the boat, facing the night wind.

No wonder the water stronghold is difficult to attack. The place where it is built is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You must first abandon your horse and change boats at the dock, and then sail in.

The pier is also guarded by people from the water village. You must first occupy the pier before you can board the ship here.

Yan Ruyu noticed that there were several small beacon towers next to the pier. If something happened here and the beacons went off, they would be discovered immediately by the water village.

The village was built on the water, half of the gate was in the water, flags were flying, and dozens of wind lanterns were hung on the head of the village. The patrols walked back and forth holding torches, and it was as bright as day.

Abandoning the ship and landing, the patrol shouted: "Stop! Say the code word!"

Even if the light shines on Li Jingyao's face, he still has to say secret words.

Only if it is right will it be allowed to pass.

Yan Ruyu praised: "The master of Dazhai is strict and strict, which is admirable."

Li Jingyao: "It's just a little witch seeing a big witch. I heard that the border guards are stricter. I'm just scratching the surface here."

Huo Changhe raised his eyelids and looked at him: What level he was, even compared with those in the army.

Yan Ruyu held back her laughter and gently held Huo Changhe's hand.

Li Jingyao did not take them to the meeting hall in front.

"You two, my friend is seriously injured and usually rests. The brothers in the village know that there are not many people around him, so it is inconvenient to make any announcement."

"Okay, but I'll follow the arrangements of the leader of the village."

Huo Changhe walked beside her, holding her with one hand and holding the hilt of his sword with the other.

The two followed Li Jingyao to a courtyard.

"Boy, please wait a moment. I'll go and talk to you. He has a cold temper and doesn't like to meet people. You need to inform him in advance."

"Please."

Li Jingyao entered the hospital, while Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were waiting outside.

"My lord, what do you think of his village?"

"It's so-so," Huo Changhe said. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "If we let the Lincheng Guards attack, it will be really difficult to defeat them."
