Su Muer nodded in agreement, and the two of them packed up their things and went out one after the other.
The enthusiastic waiter also came out to see them off and reminded them to come often.
At this time, Xiao Wu, Liangzi and Liu Hai had fed the horses and were waiting for them to come out at the door.
Liu Hai naturally knew about their relationship, and seeing the young master smiling, he felt happy in his heart.
Xiao Wu and A Liang also knew that the young lady had been interested in His Highness the Seventh Prince a long time ago, and they believed in their hearts that there was still love between them.
Therefore, the three servants naturally did not feel the slightest curiosity about what happened between them in the same room. On the contrary, they thought it was natural.
Anyway, one is unmarried and the other is unmarried, so it would be good if they could get a marriage through this.
The group of people set out on the road again, this time still riding fast, because the distance between the two stations was far, so they went a little slower for fear of missing the trip.
Along the way, Ye Shihan made reasonable arrangements according to the planned itinerary in advance, and did not delay much. Along the way, he never encountered the situation of being full like the first inn, so they all booked three rooms.
.
Twenty days later, they arrived at Jianghan Ferry, which is the only way to northern Xinjiang. There is a boat going back and forth every day.
The ships can accommodate horses and even carriages, but there are not many people coming and going, and it takes almost a few days to receive a business. Of course, the prices are also ridiculously high.
After settling the horses, the captain came to Ye Shihan's room and knelt down directly on the ground.
"Your Highness, Liu Wu would like to pay your respects to Your Highness."
Ye Shihan's face suddenly became serious, he squinted and nodded,
"Get up, has there been any movement here lately?"
Liu Wu shook his head, "No, it seems that the imperial court has not assigned any more officials recently, and no one from the official family has passed by. My boat has not been on the road for a few days."
Hearing what he said, Ye Shihan felt a little more at ease.
"Notify me immediately if there is any news. Also, cook us some delicious food. That delicate young master is so annoying with his talk."
Liu Wu nodded in agreement,
"Don't worry, your highness. You don't need to say that your highness is young. You know that your highness took great care of that young master when he boarded the ship. I guess he is not a mortal."
His eyes are quite poisonous, you can see that.
The ship was very large, and the deck was also very spacious. Su Muer stood alone on the deck, admiring the vast scenery on the sea, and her mood became much brighter.
Ye Shihan stood behind her, staring at her pretty back, feeling a pang of distress in his heart.
He raised his hand, took off his cloak, quietly came behind her, put it directly on her shoulders, and whispered softly,
"It's windy here, don't get cold."
Su Muer looked back and smiled at him, "Thank you, sir."
After getting along with him for half a month, she had gained a little more trust and dependence on him.
Along the way, he had made all the arrangements for her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Whenever she came up with some money, he said there was no rush and asked her to leave the money to her father and the others and then return it to him after she went back to settle the accounts.
When he said this, she didn't force him to give him any more money. Anyway, they were still going to be together for a while, so we could talk about it later.
He stood next to her, following her gaze, facing the wind, and took a long, relieved breath.
"It's so nice here. Far away from the hustle and bustle in the capital, I can get some peace and quiet for a while."
His brows could knit into knots when he thought about the things he had to face every day in the capital.
Su Mu'er looked into the distance, the breeze blowing on her face, making her feel refreshed.
She raised her hand, tucked the wind-blown hair behind her ears, and remained silent.
She also wanted to say that it was so nice here and made people feel relaxed and happy.
But she always felt that it was a bit too pretentious to say such words from her own mouth.
"How long will we travel on this waterway?" She still looked ahead and changed the topic.
Ye Shihan turned his head, looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar face, and pondered for a while,
"About three days. After these three days of water travel, we will reach the northern border. The weather is completely different from here. The further north we go, the colder it gets."
Su Mu'er also vaguely felt that the wind on the sea was a bit harsh, unlike the gentle wind on land.
A gust of wind blew by, and she quickly tightened the cloak around her body and hugged her arms tightly consciously.
"Go back, it's windy here."
Before he finished speaking, waves of water appeared on the sea not far away.
Suddenly, there was a jolt, and Su Muer's body tilted. Ye Shihan quickly caught her steady, and she fell firmly into his arms.
Just as she was about to stand up straight, another even bigger jolt occurred.
Ye Shihan held her in his arms and backed away, gritting his teeth to comfort her.
"Maybe you hit a woodcutter, don't be afraid, it won't be a big problem."
At this time, Liu Hai, Xiao Wu and A Liang rushed onto the deck.
Their voices were unusually rapid,
"Sir, what's wrong, the captain said we encountered a shark, and there may be a swarm of sharks ahead."
Sharks?
Su Muer's expression instantly became tense. They were at sea now, and there were too many unknown creatures on the sea, especially such large creatures. Once they encountered them, it would be really difficult to escape smoothly.
She looked at Ye Shihan with questioning eyes, and his originally handsome face suddenly became extremely solemn.
"Get down to the cabin quickly." He pushed her and motioned for her to get down to the cabin and hide.
At this time, the captain ran up in a hurry,
"Oh no, the sharks have already swam over here. This is something that has never happened in a thousand years. Why are you so unlucky today?"
The captain was grumbling and nervous at the same time.
The person taking the boat this time was his master, so something happened just in time for this. This is really a disgrace to God.
Ye Shihan turned to look at Su Mu'er and said with a solemn expression,
"Go back to the cabin. No matter what happens outside, don't come out. This is for you."
He took out a small knife from his waist, "use it for self-defense. Remember, remember, a shark's eyes and nose are its weakest points."
After speaking, he looked at Liu Wu and said, "Tell all the boatmen to prepare their weapons. Since we encounter him, we must fight to the death."
Seeing His Highness being so calm, Liu Wu nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Su Muer still stood behind him without moving. He turned around and yelled at her for the first time,
"Go into the cabin. It's not safe here." His voice was frighteningly loud, and veins on his face became bulging with anger.
Su Muer shook her head indifferently, her eyes looking quite calm.
"Everyone came out together, there is no reason for me to hide alone."
"Be obedient, this is not the time for you to be stubborn."
His voice was soft, and there was a little worry on his face. He didn't want to see anything happen to her, or even see her suffer a little.
