The journey was very smooth afterwards, and we did not encounter any bandits or other accidents.

Finally, we took a boat down the river and we were about to arrive at the Kingdom of Yan.

While waiting for the boat at the ferry, Shi Li sent back the driver who had brought them all the way. Shi Wu stood by, watching the people coming and going at the ferry, afraid that someone would bump into Shi Li and fall into the water, so he stayed by her side unnoticed.

There was only one ferry left today, and while the two were waiting for the ferry, they met some familiar people.

It was still a huge team, and the lady who I met once in the inn that day appeared again surrounded by a group of people.

He was still dressed gorgeously and looked still arrogant. He must have been a different person from Shi Li who had left before. But judging from the current situation, it seemed that he would also take the ferry to Yan Country.

But when the ferry slowly approached the shore, the guards around her found the boatman and asked to charter the entire boat, not allowing anyone else to board.

In addition to Shi Li and the others, there were three or four other people who had been waiting for a long time at the ferry, and they all looked dissatisfied when they heard the news. If they couldn't get on this boat, they would have to stay here and wait another day.

Shi Li was also very unhappy, but she couldn't show it.

The boatman looked helpless when facing the numerous guards. He originally relied on the ferry to support his family. If he let someone charter the entire boat today, his reputation would be ruined and his future business would be affected.

But if I don't agree, I'm worried that it will be difficult for others to get along with me, and it will cause trouble now.

"It's okay, don't make things difficult for the boatman." In the end, it was the young lady who spoke unexpectedly and stopped the guard.

Everyone present looked at the young lady in surprise, not expecting her to speak. The young lady did not look at anyone, but just nodded to the boatman.

Everyone was happy with this and no one had any objections. However, the domineering guard felt a little lonely and lowered his head and stepped aside.

Crowds of people started to board the boat one after another, and everyone tacitly stood at the back, waiting for the young lady to board first. No one would argue about such a small matter.

Shi Li thought the same thing, so she just stood at the back slowly, looking sideways at the scenery around the ferry. Shi Wu also accompanied her silently, without saying a word.

After everyone got on board, the boatman shouted and raised the anchor and set sail.

There were more people on this trip than usual, including a lady of distinguished status. The boatman was also extremely cautious, fearing that something might go wrong, so the boat sailed very smoothly.

Shi Li didn't feel anything, but soon noticed that there was something strange about the person next to her. She turned around and saw that Shi Wu's face looked paler than usual.

"You...are seasick?" Shi Li asked in surprise.

Shi Wu didn't say anything.

He had not expected that he would get seasick. For some reason he had never been on a boat before. This was his first time and he felt like he was being tortured.

Shi Li: ...

She looked at Shi Wu's expression and felt that he looked miserable, yet a little funny. She hesitated and took out a pill from her pocket and handed it to him, "You will feel better after taking this. Uncle Hu gave it to me just now. I thought I wouldn't need it."

Uncle Hu was the driver who had taken them all the way, but this story was naturally made up by Shi Li. She had all kinds of medicines on her, she just needed a good excuse to take them out.

Shi Wu did not doubt it at all. He took it and put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it. After a while, he really felt much better. He could not help but explain in a low voice: "I didn't expect that..."

"What's the big deal? Don't take it to heart." Shi Li waved her hand and smiled slightly.

By the evening, the boat finally arrived at the ferry crossing of Yan State.

It was the setting sun, the river water was half rustling and half red, and the rippling waves were like a spread of red brocade.

Everyone still agreed to let the young lady and her group get off the boat first, and the others waited behind.

As people were getting off the boat in an orderly manner, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and then a group of soldiers from the Yan Kingdom rode fast horses and hurried over here.

These soldiers were coming for the lady on the same boat. The leading soldier dismounted not far away and saluted the lady respectfully.

Shi Li was also curious. After listening to their conversation, she quickly identified the lady's identity.

This young lady is Princess Zhiyan of a small country affiliated with Yan State. She was sent to Yan State in the name of marriage. The object of marriage is none other than Prince Fei of Yan State who insisted on meeting Shi Li.

After the group of people left, a middle-aged man with a kind face, holding a portrait in his hand, walked towards Shi Li tentatively.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Shi?"

Since Shi Li had forged an aunt for herself, she had naturally arranged everything else. This middle-aged man was the manager of her aunt, and he came to the ferry specifically to pick her up.

"It is me." Shi Li pretended to be surprised and nodded slightly to the steward.

The steward smiled kindly and pointed to the sedan chair next to him. "Madam thought the girl would be arriving soon, so she specially arranged for me to wait at the ferry. Finally, I have waited for you."

The steward was very tactful. Although he saw Shi Wu nearby, he did not ask any additional questions, even though he did not know Shi Li's true identity, let alone Shi Wu's identity.
