The Regent Does Not Give Up

"Miss, in front of us is Peixian. There is a water route from Peixian to Jingcheng, it can shorten the time, but it won't be as bumpy."

Yun Ruoleng's eyes lit up: Who said that?

"Today, when I went to buy snacks, the dim sum boss told me." Peach Blossom held her head in thought for a moment before replying, "It is said that there are two boats per day. If we were to go at this time, we would be able to catch the boat from this afternoon."

"Then let's go to Peixian." The corner of Yun Ruoleng's mouth raised slightly. After these few days of calm, riding on the boat was indeed much more comfortable than riding on a horse carriage.

"Yes, miss. "Then I'll go tell the coachman." After getting Yun Ruoleng's reply, Peach Blossom jumped out of the horse carriage happily and spoke to the driver of the horse carriage.

Yun Ruoleng once again placed the parchment on the small table, and carefully studied the route on the parchment, his almond-shaped eyes narrowing.

Indeed, this water route was much closer than the dry road. They could directly pass through the county, Pang City, and Long Xi County and arrive at Jing City. It would save them at least three days of travel.

Yun Ruoleng kept the parchment, and Peach Blossom walked in, but her expression was not looking good.

"What's wrong?" Yun Ruoleng frowned.

Peach Blossom looked at Yun Ruoleng, seemingly wanting to say something, "I'm fine …"

"Everything is written on his face, how can he possibly be fine?" Yun Ruoleng rolled her eyes at her. This girl never knew how to hide her emotions.

"Miss, let's go on the dry road!" Peach Blossom said with a sad face, "I heard that there are a lot of water pirates on the waterway and they are not safe. If I meet one, it will delay my arrival."

"Isn't it safe?" Yun Ruoleng frowned. No wonder Jun Qingshang told him only one path, it was actually like this! It's not safe to have water pirates. If I'm not careful, I might not be able to escape. Forget it …

Yun Ruoleng smiled at Peach Blossom: "Go and tell the coachman that we should continue along the same road."

"Yes sir!" Hearing that Yun Ruoleng had changed his mind, Tao Hong heaved a sigh of relief and anxiously went to consult with the coachman.

Yun Ruoleng leaned on the walls of the carriage and rested. When Peach Blossom came in, she saw that her young miss was resting for the afternoon, so she did not disturb her. She took a thin blanket and covered her with it.

The horse carriage headed south and arrived at Moon City, which was the closest city to Jingcheng, in seven days.

After Yun Ruoleng washed off his fatigue in an inn, he leaned on the bed and looked at Peach Blossom who was busy, "Our speed is two days earlier than expected. If there are no accidents, we can enter Jing City tomorrow.

"Your servant is nervous." Peach Red paused for a moment, creased her little face, and said, "Your servant's eyelids have been jumping ever since yesterday. I don't know why, but it's just that I can't stop jumping."

"I think there are too many things on my mind." Yun Ruoleng said indifferently.

"Nope!" Peach Red nervously retorted and advised, "Something will definitely happen to you. Miss, how about we go back?"

"Go back?" Yun Ruoleng did not know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Peach Blossom, we are all here."

"But …"

"Enough!" Yun Ruoleng shook his head, his expression serious, "It's just my eyelids jumping, how could anything really happen to me?"

Yun Ruoleng did not believe in superstitions, if there was someone who would believe that there was a ghost in this world, wouldn't that mean she was possessed by a ghost? However, she did not believe in this kind of thing.

Peach Blossom wanted to continue persuading her, but when she saw that her young miss was really angry, she stopped talking about it.

At ten in the night, Yun Ruoleng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was unknown if it was because of Peach Blossom's unease, but at this moment, her heart inexplicably started to panic.

Suddenly, he saw a shadow flash past outside the window. Yun Ruoleng frowned, but did not pay much attention to it, on a dark and windy night, it was inevitable that there would be people who would come out to settle some matters, which was not surprising.

Just as Yun Ruoleng was preparing to rest, the window was suddenly pushed open, and then closed.

Yun Ruoleng's expression immediately became extremely unsightly. The black shadow didn't feel that the person inside the room had woken up, and at this moment, he was hiding at the side of the window, staring closely at the movement outside.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by the window once more.

Yun Ruoleng sat on the bed, her face dark and dripping. The person in her room looked like the one being hunted, but from the looks of it, she was not a match for the other party.

At the same time, the person at the window also felt that there was someone in the room, but he was very curious, this person just looked at him without making a sound. At the same time, the person at the window also felt that there was someone in the room, but he was very strange, this person just looked at him without making a sound.

"What are you looking at!" Yun Ruoleng opened the curtain, waved his hand, and pure spirit energy immediately lit up the candles in the room. A man dressed in black appeared at the window. He looked at Yun Ruoleng with a dumbstruck expression and could not help but exclaim: "What a pure power."

Yun Ruoleng was startled for a second, then her face changed, she had acted on impulse.

"Miss, I did not mean to offend you." The man saw that Yun Ruoleng's expression was even worse, and hurriedly explained, "I was being followed, so I wanted to borrow a place to hide."

Yun Ruoleng did not speak, his eyes coldly sized up the man for a moment, then turned around and pulled a piece of clothing that was draped over the head of the bed, casually putting it on.

The man quickly opened his face. He was very curious in his heart. Why didn't this woman have the slightest bit of fear when she saw the black clothed man barge into his room at night?

After Yun Ruoleng poured a cup of water for himself and looked at the slowly awakening Peach Blossom Red, he continued to drink the water as if nothing had happened.

"Miss … "Ahhh!"

"Ugh …" The man reacted quickly. Without waiting for Peach Blossom to yell, he had already flashed in front of her and unceremoniously covered her rosy lips.

"You're making such a big fuss, be careful he might kill you to keep your mouth shut." Yun Ruoleng's cold voice came out, scaring Peach Blossom away, she anxiously looked at the frozen man.

"Mmm mmm …" Peach Red looked pitifully at the man, hoping that he would let her go.

The man let go of her hands and clasped his fists towards Peach Blossom with an awkward expression. He said, "I'm just borrowing the opportunity to hide for a while and then leaving. Lady, there's no need to panic."

"Who are you?" Peach Blossom looked at the man in black who only revealed his eyes. She felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

The man was slightly taken aback: "My name is Xia Mingrong."

Yun Ruoleng's thin lips slightly rose, "Xia Rong? "Along the way, we heard many people say that Moon City is the foundation of the Xiahou Family, one of the eight Heavenly Awakening Clans. What do you say, Xiahou Rong?"

The man looked at the girl who was slowly drinking water in astonishment. Her peerless face under the candlelight was captivating. The pair of phoenix eyes that bore traces of a smile that was not a smile fluttered slightly. Xiahou Rong's heart trembled slightly as he stood dumbstruck on the spot.

There was someone coveting her young miss! Peach Blossom's first reaction was to kill this pervert.
