Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had lunch at the water village. After a short rest, Li Jingyao came to invite them and said that everything was ready.

Li Jingyao changed into a simple blue cloth robe, suppressed the murderous aura from his body, and looked like a handsome scholar.

Although Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe's clothes are made of expensive materials, they are plain in color and covered with dark cloaks. If you are not discerning, you will only think that they are not short of money, but they are not rich.

When Li Jingyao heard Yan Ruyu ask him to dress plainly, he knew that he wanted to keep a low profile, so the boat he prepared was also a medium-sized boat, which was not very conspicuous on the water.

The boat rides the wind and waves to Luojiazhuang. When it arrives at Luojiazhuang, the sun turns to the west, and the sunlight shines on the water, as if it is covered with a thick layer of gold.

There is no dock here. Generally speaking, ships will not stop at such a place. A few dozen miles ahead, there is a small county town with a small dock over there.

Li Jingyao had already given instructions that if anyone asked, the ship was broken and needed to be repaired.

The boat stopped. Li Jingyao got off the boat first, followed by Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu. The coachman's secret guard was at the end. The others did not follow and were waiting on the boat.

Li Jingyao whispered: "Prince, Princess, this way..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Ruyu said, "Brother Jing, wait a moment, I'll go with you."

Li Jingyao paused for a moment, and among other things, the sound of "Brother Jing" was beyond his expectation.

But then I thought about it, yes, you have to change your name when you come here. No one has seen his face, but everyone who lives by water has heard of his name.

So he didn't think much, Yan Ruyu took two quick steps and followed him.

Li Jingyao's strange feeling emerged again, and he always felt that something was not right.

Luojiazhuang is still a small market today. The small market is open every Saturday and September, selling needles, thread, fishing equipment, snacks, and snacks from sunrise to sunset.

Probably because of the accident in Luojiazhuang, the market was also extremely depressed, with very few people.

As soon as they appeared, they also attracted the attention of others. Li Jingyao suppressed his messy thoughts and remained calm on the surface, but he was wary in his heart.

Yan Ruyu was right next to him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Yan Ruyu seemed unhappy and frowned slightly when she went to a place with people.

what's the situation? Not happy to come? But this trip to Luojiazhuang was proposed by Yan Ruyu, and he didn't force it.

Looking back at Huo Changhe, his expression turned gloomier.

Li Jingyao touched his nose and felt a slight chill on the back of his neck. He didn't feel this way the last time he and Huo Changhe started fighting.

What the hell.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yan Ruyu stopped in front of an old woman's stall.

The old woman sells small tiger-head shoes, which she must have made herself. She has three pairs on display, as well as a few handkerchiefs. The embroidery on the handkerchiefs is average, and the tiger-head shoes are not very exquisite.

Li Jingyao didn't know why, so he also stood still.

The old woman hurriedly said: "Girl, do you want to buy shoes or a handkerchief? I made these shoes myself, and the handkerchief was embroidered by my niece."

Yan Ruyu picked up the tiger-head shoes and blushed slightly: "Brother Jing, what do you think of these shoes?"

Li Jingyao was stunned, not knowing what to say. He glanced at Huo Changhe from the corner of his eye. Huo Changhe was standing not far away, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The people around them had long noticed the strange combination of the three of them, and looked at them curiously.

Yan Ruyu pressed her eyes with the handkerchief and seemed to be sobbing: "Brother Jing, if nothing happens, the child should wear these shoes."

Li Jingyao was shocked: What accident, what kind of child? What shoes to wear? Where to put on shoes? Where are your shoes?

Huo Changhe took a step this way, and Li Jingyao subconsciously took a step back.

This retreat, in the eyes of others, looks more like he has a guilty conscience.

Yan Ruyu stepped forward and stood in front of Li Jingyao. Facing Huo Changhe, she blushed and said, "Brother, now that I have severed my relationship with Brother Jing, and I have promised to return home with you and marry someone else, what else do you want?"

Li Jingyao's eyes widened slightly, his palms became wet, and he glanced at Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe's face was so dark that he could drip ink, and his eyes glanced at Li Jingyao: "It's best. These things are not suitable for you, don't buy them. If it weren't for the fact that the boat broke down at the entrance of the village and you had to come down for air, I wouldn't have allowed you. Came here.”

Yan Ruyu threw down a piece of broken silver as if she was angry, grabbed a pair of tiger-head shoes and a handkerchief: "I'll buy them!"

She picked up the things and turned around to leave. Although the old woman was pleasantly surprised when she saw the money, she didn't dare to take it. She could see that the sullen man behind was not someone to be trifled with.

The people watching the excitement also understood - the young lady was wearing a silk dress, and like the brother who was following her, she seemed to come from a well-off family. The young man walking with the young lady in front was wearing a silk dress. He wears commoner clothes and his hair is tied up with cloth towels, so his family background must be ordinary.

The young lady's family here did not agree, so they came to find her to break off the engagement and took the young lady back to her parents' home. It happened that the boat broke down at the entrance of the village, so the young lady acted in a small way and came to Luojiazhuang.

They understood, and Li Jingyao also understood. He looked down at his cloth robe and felt like crying.

No wonder he was asked to wear such clothes. It turned out that at that time, Princess Zhennan was thinking of using this kind of strategy!

This is really evil. How could a woman use such a method regardless of her own reputation? What's even more sinister is that King Zhennan doesn't care about it! Let her do whatever she wants.

This couple is not only smart, but also a little... cunning.

Li Jingyao, full of anger and inexplicable emotions, walked away silently.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe no longer paid attention to him, and the three of them went their separate ways. As for the coachman's secret guard, he disappeared quietly as soon as he got off the boat.

It got dark very quickly. Before Yan Ruyu had finished shopping, the market stalls were closing down one after another, and the number of people on the street gradually decreased.

Li Jingyao whispered: "I remember that the alley in front is that woman's husband's house."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman carrying a basin walked out of the alley.

Huo Changhe flicked his fingers, and the woman's knees suddenly felt weak. Before she realized it, the basin in her hand had already turned out.

Li Jingyao was standing not far away and subconsciously hid. With his skills, it was no problem at all.

But before he could hide, a soft hand pressed his arm: "Brother Jing, be careful."

Yan Ruyu said carefully and put her hand on his arm so that he could not move. Coupled with the sudden contact, Li Jingyao also froze and did not dare to move.

"Whoa!"

The water was hitting him.

The hem of his robe was wet.

Looking at the water stains, Li Jingyao thought silently: Next time he goes out with this couple, he will be a dog.

When the woman saw that she was in trouble, her face turned pale and she quickly came over to apologize.

"I'm really sorry. I...I didn't mean it. How can this be good? Why don't you go to my house to clean it?"

These words hit Yan Ruyu's fancy.

"Then it's troublesome sister-in-law."

The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "No, I should."
