Chapter 215 Pretending to be a Couple
Xuan Cang's expression was solemn. He glanced at the man beside him and said, "Please help me go back to Zhenbei Palace to send a message."

"Yes, please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

After a while, the man left quietly, and Xuan Cang quietly returned to the inn room.

It was a long night, and even though his body was exhausted, Xuan Cang couldn't fall asleep. He mobilized his five senses and always paid attention to the movements next door and outside the door.

It wasn't until the night slowly receded and a little fish belly white appeared in the east that Xuan Cang closed his eyes and squinted for a while.

In a hurry, Qin Shuhuang got up early in the morning.

Obviously Xuan Cang hadn't slept in bed for an hour. When there was some movement in Qin Shuhuang's room, he opened his eyes immediately.

They quickly got up and packed up. They did not have breakfast at the inn, but packed some steamed buns to take with them to eat on the road.

After another day of rushing around, we arrived in Chizhou.

Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang did not stop in Chizhou. They sold their horses, booked a room on a passenger ship, and went down the river to Guangnan that night.

It wasn't until he got on the passenger ship that Qin Shuhuang breathed a sigh of relief without encountering any assassins.

At least it means that two days have passed and the regent's people have not yet reacted.

The boat sailed along the Lingjiang River and they did not disembark until they reached Ningshui. They had to stay on the boat for five days. Once they reached Ningshui, they could reach Guangnan by land in two days.

As long as she successfully reunites with Ruda Tangmeng in seven days, her safety and that of Brother Can Wang will be guaranteed.

This is a medium-sized ship carrying passengers and cargo.

The bottom cabin was filled with goods to be transported to Ningshui, and the middle cabins were converted into rooms for people to live in. Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang were so anxious to get on the ship that they only booked one room.

The two of them carried their bags and entered the room on the ship, and found that the room in the cabin was even smaller than they expected!
The small space didn't even have a window, and there was very little furniture.

The bed is placed against a corner with a rectangular wooden board, and a simple bedding is spread on the wooden board...

There is a small table next to the bed. On the small table is a teapot, several teacups and an oil lamp with no oil.

There is a porridge in the far corner.

The whole space is not as big as the clean room they had before...

By comparison, the conditions of the inn where they stayed in Shijia County were already quite good.

The passenger ship was sailing on the Lingjiang River, surrounded by water. There were no other ships, and they had no chance to choose.

Xuan Cang looked around the cramped room. He was tall, and he felt that he could touch the far left and right sides of the room by stretching his arms. He immediately frowned. Your Highness, how could you live in such a place? Room!
Immediately, Xuan Cang said: "Your Highness, please be aggrieved for a moment. I will go find the person in charge and ask if there is a better room."

He brought a lot of money and banknotes with him. As long as he was willing to spend the money, Xuan Cang believed that he would have a better place to live.

Before he could stand up, Qin Shuhuang grabbed his sleeve, "Don't go! In this business, we secretly go to Guangnan to hide our identities. The more low-key we do, the better. It's best to be invisible to everyone, so that we don't Leaving no trace. Just staying in a small room for a few days. There are so many people on the ship that I can stay with, and there is nothing I can’t stay with."

When we boarded the ship, we saw people bringing their families with them, and a family of five people crowded into one room.

The rooms converted into cabins on this floor are all the same size. There is only room for sleeping in the cabin between the five members of the family, and there is no extra place to stay.

Xuan Cang pursed his lips and said, "But, Your Highness..."

"No need to but, this is my order!"

After hearing this, Xuan Cang gave up. Indeed, Qin Shuhuang's worries were not unreasonable.

After another day of riding, the redness and swelling on Qin Shuhuang's leg side from yesterday became more serious.

The medicine must be applied immediately, otherwise it may get worse if it is delayed. Fortunately, he will be on the boat for the next few days and will not need to ride a horse for the time being. Otherwise, Qin Shuhuang feels that his legs will have calluses.Qin Shuhuang, who was kneeling on the small table, frowned, moved his legs, and said to Xuan Cang, "Xuan Cang, turn your back, I want to apply the medicine."

After riding horses for the past two days, Xuan Cang certainly knew where Qin Shuhuang was injured. He couldn't help but blush slightly, "Your Highness, please go down and guard the door of the room."

Qin Shuhuang was startled, nodded in amusement, and added: "We are outside, so there is no need to call me your highness."

Xuan Cang thought for a while and said: "The subordinate and His Highness pretended to be brother and sister."

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "How can brothers our age live in the same cabin?"

Xuan Cang froze and looked at Qin Shuhuang with a pair of deep eyes.

Qin Shuhuang's face had a hint of slyness, "Why don't we pretend to be a young couple, that way we won't attract attention."

When Xuan Cang heard Qin Shuhuang's words, he couldn't help but his throat rolled. He slightly lowered his eyes and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, Prince..."

Qin Shuhuang's face darkened slightly, "This is just a temporary measure. If it doesn't work, do you have a better way?"

Xuan Cang remained silent.

"Just do as I say. Come up with a name and use it as our pseudonym when we are away from home during this time."

After a moment, Xuan Cang said: "My name is Jiang Yan."

Qin Shuhuang nodded as if he didn't care, "Okay, your name will be Jiang Yan these days, and I will be Mrs. Jiang."

The back of Xuan Xuan's head hanging down became even redder, and the bottom of his eyes seemed like a deep pool.

"it is good!"

After he responded, he fled hastily from the narrow room.

Looking at Xuan Cang's panicked figure, Qin Shuhuang's mouth curled up slightly. She did not treat the wound, but only looked at the door, counting silently in her mind to see how long Xuan Cang could hold on outside the cabin.

Sure enough, before the count reached twenty, there was a knock on the door, and Xuan Cang's voice sounded outside the door for a moment, "Husband... Madam..."

"Husband, come in quickly."

The room was pushed open, Xuan Cang quickly entered the room, and then quickly closed the door. Qin Shuhuang's husband's cry made his neck turn red.

Qin Shuhuang almost laughed out loud, "Don't go out, just stay in the room."

Xuan Cang may not have noticed before, but when they entered the cabin, every room was full of people, and in some cases there were several people living there.

At this moment, the corridor outside is like a large courtyard, with people burning small stoves to prepare hot meals, children running around, gossiping old women, and skinny monkey-like men looking around with evil eyes.

He was dressed in black warrior attire, had scars on his face, and had an unusual temperament. He quickly became the focus of everyone.

After only standing for a while, several people came over to chat with him.

Horrified, he immediately got back into the room.

It seemed that in the next few days, he and Qin Shuhuang would have to blend in with the crowd. Looking down at his clothes, he realized that this extremely unique Xuanyi could no longer be worn.

And in this environment, no matter how good the room was, he would not dare to be separated from Qin Shuhuang, fearing that if he made a mistake, Qin Shuhuang would be spotted and get into trouble.

While thinking about these details, the rustling sound of people taking off their clothes was heard not far behind him. When he thought of Qin Shuhuang applying the medicine, Xuan Cang froze and did not dare to move.
