After patiently listening to Shi Li's plan to set off for Yan Kingdom to seek refuge with his aunt, Shi Wu sighed silently in his heart.

Seeing her defenseless appearance, he said softly, "It just so happens that I am also going to Yan Country. I can set off with you and we can take care of each other on the way."

Although he said he was taking care of her, Shi Wu had already silently included Shi Li in his protection.

"Huh? What a coincidence, you are going to Yan Country too?"

Shi Li's acting skills exploded at this moment. She stared at Shi Wu with wide eyes, then laughed happily, "That's great, we can set off together. I'll hire a carriage tomorrow... But doesn't your body need some more rest?"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Besides, it's just a ride, it's not a big deal." Shi Wu shook his head again and looked at Shi Li, "Do you know anyone who wants to hire a carriage?"

He felt that Shi Li was a weak girl who had never traveled far, so he subconsciously worried about everything.

"Yes, yes. There is an uncle in East Street who is responsible for driving cars and picking up people. I will go and tell him tomorrow!" Shi Li answered crisply.

[I have to say, the anchor also has acting skills~]

[Not only does he have acting skills, but his acting skills are also quite good! 】

[But this is a trick and a lie, right? How will this end? ]

Someone also asked this question. Shi Li's personality was more or less influenced by the original owner, and she had a playful attitude towards many things around her, but at that time, she herself was not aware of this problem.

The driver was naturally someone who had been arranged in advance. He knew a little bit of martial arts, but was not proficient in martial arts. So when Shi Wu looked at him carefully, he didn't see any clues.

Shi Li was very considerate and spread an old quilt on the carriage, and said to Shi Wu: "This way, if you feel uncomfortable, you can lie down for a while."

Shi Wu couldn't help but feel a little more nervous. He subconsciously avoided Shi Li's eyes and just said thank you softly.

They sat in the carriage and started their journey to Yan Country.

The Jiangnan area is very far away from the Yan State. In addition to taking a horse-drawn carriage, you also have to take a boat.

The carriage drove out of the city steadily and gradually reached a sparsely populated area. Shi Li suddenly remembered and took out the sword tassel that Shi Wu had given her from her sleeve, "Here, I'll give it back to you."

"How did you redeem it?" Shi Wu was surprised and did not take it immediately.

"In addition to sending people to look for me, my aunt also gave me some silver, which was enough to redeem me, and I haven't spent all the pawned money." Shi Li said it easily, he just didn't want to continue being Huang Shiren.

Shi Wu then took the sword tassel, but he did not hang it directly on the scabbard.

"What's wrong?" Shi Li looked at him holding the sword tassel but not moving, and asked with her head tilted in some surprise.

Shi Wu was silent for a while, "I can't."

At the beginning, he pulled the sword tassel off directly, and the original rope was completely broken. Now he has replaced it with a new one, but he doesn't know how to tie it to the scabbard beautifully. If he just tied it casually, he always felt that he would let Shi Li down.

"Then let me help you?" Shi Li looked at his hands and sword and asked uncertainly.

As far as she knew, assassins generally wouldn't hand over their weapons to others easily...

Before she finished her words, a sword and a sword tassel appeared in her hand.

Okay, okay, as if she hadn’t said the previous words.

Shi Li didn't hesitate, he lowered his head and quickly tied the sword tassel, then returned it to Shi Wu, "Okay, take a look at it, is it okay?"

Of course it is possible. Shi Wu looked at the sword tassel that was tied again and felt inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

The two men jolted in the carriage for half a day, and by the evening, they finally found an inn to stay.

At this location and this time of year, the business in the inn was not very good. There was only one proprietress, leaning behind the counter, counting beads on an abacus, looking bored.

It was not until Shi Li and the other two came up to him that he realized, "You two want to stay at the hotel?"

The proprietress looked them up and down without leaving any trace, and then smiled politely again.

"I want two rooms for one night." Shi Wu stood in front of Shi Li at the right time, blocking the proprietress's gaze.

"Oh, okay, take the keys, second floor." The proprietress glanced at Shi Wu, her smile slightly restrained, and she took out two keys and handed them over listlessly.

Shi Wu took the keys and said to Shi Li, "Let's go upstairs."

This really protects Shi Li as an innocent little white rabbit.
