The next day, before the sun set

The three ships of the marriage team have already arrived near the Ye Port Pier in Xiye City. They are going to replenish some food and supplies in Xiye City.

Yegang Wharf is a medium-sized cargo wharf. Although it is not as busy as the big wharves on the Cang River, it is also very lively. There are many mountains nearby, and it is more convenient to take a boat than a highway, so there are many people taking the boat, and it is lively.

The three ships slowly sailed into the dock and docked at the pier.

For safety reasons, Chu Chenjing announced that no one was allowed to leave the ship except the escorting soldiers. He and several envoys only met the governor of Xiye City at the dock.

When the boat stopped, the gangplank was placed on the dock. Chu Chenjing led Ouyang Yunyao and two envoys, followed by Chu Feng and several other guards. Gu Heng, the prefect of Xiye City, had been waiting here with a group of people from the city. When he saw them getting off the boat, he quickly stepped forward and saluted them.

"Greetings to Prince Jing, Princess Jing"

"Meet Lord Wu."

"Greetings, Lord Sun."

"Free gift"

……

"Prince Jing, I have prepared all the food you need." Gu Heng pointed to the carts of food parked behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work! Governor Gu!" Chu Chenjing looked at the items in the car behind Governor Gu and nodded.

He ordered, "Chu Feng, take people to deliver all the food to the ship and make arrangements."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The food prepared was rice, meat, some fresh vegetables, and some salt. Chu Feng directed the soldiers to move the food to the three boats evenly according to the number of people.

Chu Chenjing exchanged a few pleasantries with the prefect's people and asked them to go back first. How could these people dare to leave first? Gu Heng tried his best to invite Chu Chenjing and the envoys to the prefectural city for dinner. "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, my two adults, I have prepared dinner in the mansion, please..."

"Governor Gu, escorting the princess to her marriage is not very safe. In order to ensure the safety of the princess and the envoys from the Southern Chu Kingdom, we will not go to the city today..."

Ouyang Yunyao wanted to go find her fox while they were talking, but she didn't expect that the little thing was really smart. Before she could find it, it appeared in front of her. While Chu Chenjing was talking to the prefect, she found that the fox was hiding under an ox cart, staring at her with shining eyes.

Hey, this fox is so human! When it saw Ouyang Yunyao, it took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly jumped in front of Ouyang Yunyao's feet. Ouyang Yunyao waved her hand and the fox entered her space.

……

The food and supplies were quickly loaded, and the ship was inspected. They boarded the ship again, so the guards also boarded the ship quickly. Prefect Gu and others waved and watched the three ships slowly set sail.

The setting sun dyed the sky red, and cast the last ray of afterglow on the slowly moving boat.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao stood by the boat, hugging each other and enjoying the slowly setting sun. Ouyang Yunyao looked at the scene in the distance where the water and sky merged into one, while Chu Chenjing's soft eyes and a smile on his face kept looking at her quietly.

A layer of light glow reflected on the figures of the two people, which was like a beautiful painting.

This scene also deeply hurt a person who was hiding in a house on the shore and watching them. Her pair of jealous and vicious eyes stared at the two people on the boat from afar. When she saw them hugging each other, her face looked a little hideous and distorted, and her eyes burst into murderous intent.

This bitch, what right did Chu Chenjing have to treat her so well? I studied with them since I was a child, and they never treated me like this. Tonight, I, Liu Qingxiu, will let you die in front of Chu Chenjing and make Chu Chenjing miserable. Liu Qingxiu was already imagining Ouyang Yunyao dying in her hands, and she even smiled sinisterly. She seemed to have forgotten the purpose of her visit.

Pan Bao, who was beside her, looked at Liu Qingxiu gritting her teeth and then laughing sinisterly, and couldn't help but be shocked. "Miss, are you okay?"

Liu Qingxiu woke up after being called by him and said, "It's okay."

"Miss, their ship has left, we should go and prepare"

"Don't let them go tonight." Liu Qingxiu's eyes were sinister and fierce.

"Don't worry, Miss. We are familiar with the waterways ahead. The boat is ready and they are all on board. Let's go quickly."

……

At night, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

Most people on the ship fell asleep.

On a night like this, their ship still sailed along the scheduled route as usual.

In Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao's room, the candlelight flickered. Neither of them rested. They chatted while staring at the images on the monitors on the computer.

"That Liu Qingxiu is very likely to attack us nearby tonight. I always felt like there were eyes staring at me today, but Xiaoniao didn't notice. Chu Chenlan should secretly send more people tonight." Ouyang Yunyao said a little worriedly.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, I have arranged everything. I just need to protect you."

"Ajing, you have to protect yourself too. I have space. Don't worry, I will feel bad if you get hurt." Ouyang Yunyao whispered softly.

Chu Chenjing's heart melted when he heard Ouyang Yunyao's words "I will feel sad". He reached out and hugged Ouyang Yunyao into his arms tightly, "Yaoyao, you feel so sad for me!" Chu Chenjing's mouth curled up with happiness.

"Get out of here, stop it." Ouyang Yunyao glared at him unhappily. When did this guy turn into a clingy big wolfdog? Why does he always want to hug and cuddle? Can he not talk properly? Where is his cold and aloof personality?

He buried his head in Ouyang Yunyao's neck and whispered, "Yaoyao, you must not get into any trouble. You must be fine."

"puff"

Ouyang Yunyao didn't know why she laughed out loud at his serious and sad words. "What's wrong with you?"

"Yaoyao, you are still laughing. We are on a boat, surrounded by water. You are afraid of water, and I am afraid that if I am not careful, you will fall into the water. What should I do if I cannot find you at night? If you are in danger, just go into the space, understand."

"I know, I know, I'm a good swimmer, you're such a nagging person." Ouyang Yunyao was quite touched after hearing this.

"Knock, knock, knock" a series of knocks on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Your Highness..." Chu Feng's voice rang out outside the door.

Chu Chenjing let go of Ouyang Yunyao, tidied her clothes for her, and then said "Come in"

Chu Feng walked in and handed Chu Chenjing a small bamboo tube. "Your Highness, this is a pigeon letter from Prince Han."

"Well," Chu Chenjing took out the note from the small bamboo tube, opened it and started reading.

"What else?"

"Your Majesty, we have spotted four ships heading in our direction."
