Unexpectedly, the guards of the governor's mansion acted so quickly and found this remote inn in no time.

They must not work so hard normally, Yu Linlang sneered in her heart, and gave each of those black-hearted guys on the ground an injection, knocking them unconscious and kicking them under the bed.

The prince held the half-asleep Zhou Yueming in his arms, and not long after he and his brother returned to the other side, the shopkeeper led a team of soldiers upstairs.

"Bang, bang, bang" someone banged on the door.

Jiujin opened the door with a hint of bad temper, raised his leg and kicked the shopkeeper who was holding the lamp, making him roll on the ground.

"What the hell are you doing up so late at night? What are you doing?"

"Oh, the little girl has quite a temper." An officer who looked like a team leader looked Jiujin up and down with a forced smile.

"Sir, it's them. These people are from other places and just came to stay here tonight."

"Where did it come from?"

"It's none of your business." Jiujin picked up the fire stick and said, "Who are you? Do you know my girl's identity?"

"Ha." The guard leading the team couldn't help but sneer when hearing the voice, "You are quite capable little girl. We don't care who you are. Once you enter our Dingzhou Prefecture, you have to coil up like a dragon or lie prone like a tiger."

"How to lie down? Like you lie down?" Jiujin raised the fire poker and swung it down heavily. Before the man could dodge, he kicked him on the leg.

There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the leading guard screamed "Ah!" and fell heavily to the ground. He was in so much pain that he could not get up.

"Boss, boss!" Several guards came over to support him. The slightest movement caused the leading guard to curse in pain.

"The leg is broken, the leg is broken." Someone shouted loudly, and looked at Jiujin with unfriendly eyes.

Mu Feng opened the door and rushed out, shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Before the palace guards could help their leader up, there was another loud shaking from the stairs.

Liang Chengyuan led a group of neatly dressed soldiers upstairs and waved his hand, "Take them all away!"

He did not give the governor's guards a chance to talk nonsense, and directly ordered the soldiers to tie up the man and drag away the screaming store owner.

Lord Liang's hurried comings and goings kept him busy all night, and he had no time to say anything to Yulin and Lang Muzhao.

Yu Linlang was not idle either. She emptied the warehouse of the black-hearted boss and searched the rooms of the owner and clerks of the black shop one by one, leaving nothing for them.

Out of consideration for other guests, Yu Linlang showed some kindness and did not clear out the kitchen for the boss, lest others go hungry.

After finishing all this, Yu Linlang returned to her room, called the prince and Mu Feng Jiujin, carried the sleeping little disciple on her back, and the group evacuated the small inn overnight, walked through the empty dock market in the dark, and successfully returned to the ship to rest.

At daybreak, the ship left the port.

A tiny red sun appeared in the sky, faintly blending into the clouds.

After a busy night yesterday, Yu Linlang spent the first half of the day catching up on sleep.

When she got up, it was already afternoon. The young apprentice had been practicing sword for more than an hour and was now writing big characters seriously on the rooftop.

Yu Linlang held her chin with one hand and stared at him for a while, then yawned lazily.

"If you don't feel energetic, go to sleep for a while." Mu Zhao smiled and sat down beside her. "Lang'er, when we get to Pingjiang Prefecture, we can rest for two days and then take a carriage to Guiyun Villa. It will probably take most of the day, so there's no rush."

Yu Linlang was thinking the same thing, and nodded when she heard it. "Okay, let's rest for two more days. I'm a little tired from the long journey."

This is the bad thing about ancient times. Transportation is slow and information is underdeveloped... "Miss, Master."

As they were talking, the voice of Manager Yang came from the stairs.

Yu Linlang lay lazily on the wooden couch without moving. Mu Zhao stood up and walked over to her, saying a few words. When he turned back, he looked somewhat speechless.

"What's wrong?" Yu Linlang sat up and asked curiously.

"Some boatmen said there was a man floating over there holding a plank, and asked if we wanted to go take a look."

Yu Linlang blinked and became more interested. "Oh, who is the unlucky guy again this time?"

Mu Zhao took out a gauze dress and came over to help her put it on, saying softly, "The wind is strong on the river."

The two of them left the poor child on the rooftop to continue practicing calligraphy, and went downstairs hand in hand to watch the fun.

Many people had already gathered by the boat railing.

Zhan Shaohuang and Chang Qing were standing at the front. When they saw the two men coming over, they smiled and said, "Sir, those grassland people fell into the water."

Yu Linlang hurriedly pulled Mu Zhao forward to take a look and then laughed along.

They are indeed the grassland people I met in Miaoyi Valley.

The one floating in the front was that bastard Yelu Shanda. He was holding onto a piece of wood and rolling back and forth in the water, struggling and shouting for help.

Compared to his embarrassment, Princess Xichuan was obviously much calmer. Although she looked very embarrassed after falling into the water, she was floating with her head held high, holding on to the wooden board, and her mood was relatively stable.

Four of the grassland men were splashing in the water not far from them, waving at their boat in panic and shouting for help.

Manager Yang didn't understand the situation but knew that he had to read his master's expression and act accordingly. He turned around and caught a glimpse of the gloating expression on his young master's face and understood immediately.

The group of people floating on the water may not need their help.

At this time, Yelu Shanda had also seen clearly the person standing on the double-decker boat. It was the vicious woman who had taught him a lesson in Miaoyi Valley that day.

In the past two days, he was in a hurry to accompany the princess on the journey and his body had not recovered at all. Now he encountered such an unfortunate thing that made him extremely angry. In addition to being angry, Yelu Shanda unconsciously felt powerless.

I just felt that this trip to the Central Plains was quite unsatisfactory. If I had known this would happen, I should not have volunteered and vowed to accompany the princess to this damn Da Qi to wade through this muddy water.

Yelu Xin now saw clearly who was on the boat, so he slid forward twice while holding the plank, and shouted loudly, "Prince, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, please lend a hand to rescue us."

The prince looked at them expressionlessly and reluctantly explained, "I am not the ship owner."

Yelu Xin was still some distance away from the ship, and the prince's voice was neither loud nor soft. She struggled to hear him clearly, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Excuse me, who is the ship owner?"

She didn't want to be so rude and chatter like a peasant woman, but if she didn't shout louder, the people on the tall ship wouldn't be able to hear her at all.

She didn't know if the other party heard her or not, for he didn't say anything to her and just stood by the railing watching them drifting in the water.

Yelu Xin took a deep breath, lowered his posture again and raised his voice to call out, "My lady, we were tricked by your local people when we were traveling by water. Please lend us a hand and give us a ride. I will be very grateful."

Old Yang heard this clearly and whispered to his master, "Young lady, she said she was tricked by someone on the boat. Could it be that she was robbed on the boat?"

Yu Linlang curled her lips, "Nonsense." (End of this chapter)
