Chapter 523 Good-looking
When he came back, he saw that she had fallen asleep. Yan Fei came over to tuck her in and was about to sit on the chair for the rest of the night. As soon as he turned around, his hand was held by her. He turned around and saw her moving in. , as if to make room for him, his heart was pounding, his face was red for the first time, he pretended to be calm and sat down by the bed, and she sat up too.

After being silent for a long time, Yanfei couldn't resist her and lay down beside the bed. She also lay down and leaned into his arms, then she closed her eyes and slept in his arms. He let her rest on his arm, held her in his arms with both hands, and rested his chin lightly on the top of her head. He felt more satisfied and secure than ever before.

He slept deeply at this time, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Seeing that the person in his arms was still there, he relaxed his frown, but he did not dare to fall asleep again. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, listening to her even and gentle breathing. , until the sky gets brighter.

A ray of morning light shines in through the window lattice, like a golden thread.

Hearing her slight movement, Yan Fei knew that she was awake, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She gently raised her head and looked at his sharp features, cold eyebrows, thick black eyelashes, and handsome nose. Seeing that wasn't enough, she stretched out her hand to touch again, and when her fingertips touched the corners of his lips, she propped herself up, lowered her head and pressed a light kiss on his lips, then quietly lay back in his arms, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

The other pair of eyes that were pretending to be asleep opened, and he was thinking about it in a daze. He didn't notice that his heartbeat was a little loud, and it happened to be heard by her ears pressed against her chest.

When the gold wire shining through the window lattice filled up half of the window, someone came over. Yanfei heard voices outside the door, and she rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up.

After the people left, Yan Fei went over and opened the door. Long Yingwei brought in a bucket of warm water for washing and put it down. It was delivered by the youngest son of the ship boss.

After Long Yingwei closed the door and exited, Yan Fei walked to the shelf with a bucket, picked up the bucket and poured half a basin of warm water into the basin. She walked over and washed her face without using bath beans or incense. For the ointment, just take two handfuls of water and let your face soak. It is just plain water hibiscus, no makeup, no need to decorate.

She dried her face with a towel and held the basin to pour water. Yan Fei came over, took the basin, took it out and poured it out. After he came back, he simply washed his face and was wiping it with a towel. She came over with an eyebrow pencil. When he put the towel on the shelf, she handed the eyebrow pencil over and asked him if he knew how to draw eyebrows. I said I would, but actually I never described it once.

After sitting down on the stool in front of the dressing table, she faced him, raising her head so that he could trace his eyebrows, and closing her eyes to avoid making him nervous. Looking at the pair of delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, Yan Fei felt at a loss as to where to start with the eyebrow pencil. He first stroked lightly, observed for a while, then stroked lightly, and gradually he mastered the key. Lightly trace along the eyebrow peak. He was so focused on tracing her eyebrows that he didn't notice that she secretly opened her eyes and glanced at him.

After about two or three cups of tea, she felt no movement. She closed her eyes and asked, "Are you okay?" Yan Fei said hesitantly, "I'll take a look again." She wasn't very confident in herself. It feels like it's been applied too thickly, and I want to lighten it up but I don't know how. She turned her head and looked at the bronze mirror. He became nervous unconsciously, fearing that the image would look ugly. She said it looked good and she was very satisfied. He saw the smile in the mirror and said that he would give her a better look next time. She wrapped the eyebrow pencil in a handkerchief and gave it to him, saying that it was for her to draw eyebrows and could not be used by others in the future. He smiled and put the eyebrow pencil on He put the pen in his arms and patted his chest to show that a man keeps his word and will never break his word.

……

At noon, the cargo ship stayed at the dock for about half an hour. The boss of the ship took four or five people ashore to buy some more goods. Two Long Shadow Guards also got off the boat to inquire about the news. They found Long Shadow Guards on a tree near the dock. The mark left behind was later reported to Yan Fei. The mark was left three days ago and the person had already left by boat.

Ye Xingye, Meng Jingxiu and his party arrived here three days ago. The accompanying Long Shadow Guard left a mark on the tree, and then the party changed boats and left.

In addition, there was no news on the street that Ye Xingye and his party were wanted. They were all discussing the shocking event of Emperor Qi's death.

Two days later, the ship docked at the dock again, and two other cargo ships came to meet it. The boss of the ship directed people to unload all the goods on the ship and load them into the two ships, and then set sail. There was no cargo on the ship, and the speed more than doubled. With favorable wind and current, we entered Chihe River in just two days. There is a tributary of the Chihe River in the south, and you can go down to Yuzhou. There is a sentry at this bifurcation, guarded by the Red Armor Army, to strictly inspect people, ships and cargo. In the evening, the ship docked for interrogation. Yan Fei disembarked from the ship wearing a mask and Ye Lingxi wearing a curtain hat. He immediately attracted the attention of the leading general and asked to see his identity documents, but was interrupted by an excited voice. Ye Xingye ran over excitedly and asked Yan Fei why he arrived so quickly. He thought he would have to wait for two or three days. The leader of the Red Armor Army saluted Ye Xingye, but dutifully asked Yan Fei and others about their identities. Shi Meng Jingxiu rushed over and explained the identities of the four people. Yan Fei was the personal guard, Ye Lingxi was his wife, and the other two were Long Shadow Guards.

The general still checked the tokens of Yan Fei and the two Long Shadow Guards, and then took someone to check the identity documents of Xiao Yun and his party.

Seeing Xiao Yun, Ye Xingye was also surprised. He walked over and asked him why he was here. He said he was going to buy goods. The general did not relax his vigilance just because they knew each other. He took his people to the ship to check the goods. The boss of the ship said that the goods were all gone. On the next two ships, which were expected to arrive tomorrow, the general still took people to search the cabins and found that there was indeed no cargo.

During this period, Ye Xingye asked how the two met, and Yan Fei said it was a coincidence.

After checking that there was no problem, the general let him go.

Xiao Yun gave instructions to the ship's boss. The ship's boss was going to ask his youngest son and two men to go to the city to hire a carriage. Ye Xingye asked Xiao Yun to ride his carriage into the city together. Xiao Yun thanked him. Meng Jingxiu and Ye Lingxi rode in another carriage, while Yan Fei and Long Yingwei rode on horseback. Except for the two guards who followed Xiao Yun, the boat boss took the others back to the boat, anchored again and set sail towards Yuzhou. .

After getting on the carriage, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and rested his mind. No one spoke in the night star field, and he was a little bored. He had to open the curtains and look at the vast night outside to relieve his boredom. It was his first time in the south, and he had never seen such a vast plain. He felt The novelty makes it less boring.

When the carriage entered the city, it was just dark, and then the city gate was closed. If it were any later, it would be impossible to catch up.

There were a few sporadic lights on the street. Once it got dark, almost no one was walking around. Several shops were closing one after another, and the few sporadic lights were gradually extinguished.

Turning the corner, there was light coming from the fire, accompanied by the sound of armor ringing, and orderly order. Meng Jingxiu knew that it was the Red Armor Army patrolling at night, so she asked Mu Qi to go over and say hello first. Then Mu Qi brought a general to pay a visit. Meng Jingxiu lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. By coincidence, he was an acquaintance.

The person leading the patrol tonight is Fang Hao, the young master of the Fang family, who has known Meng Jingxiu and Mu Qi since childhood.

Fang Hao said: "The princess left the city today? Why did you come back so late?"

This time, only Princess Pingnan knew about Meng Jingxiu's trip to Qi with Mu Qi, and even King Pingnan kept it secret. She only said that she was going to Jiangnan to visit a married friend of hers, and for some fun, and she would be back in a month or two. , Princess Pingnan had given instructions in advance, and the servants in the palace did not tell anyone, so no one outside knew that she, the princess, had gone to visit friends.

When asked by Fang Hao, Meng Jingxiu said that she was going to pick up someone outside the city. Fang Hao looked at the carriage behind him, then at Yan Fei and several Long Shadow guards who were wearing masks. The two guards were not left behind, so it was inconvenient to see Meng Jingxiu. He said, he didn't ask any more questions, said a few more words and then left.
