After leaving the river, Xiao Yihuo stretched out his hand towards Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi was a little confused at first, but then he realized that Xiao Yihuo wanted the peace knot in his hand.

Lin Lezhi held the peace knot and shook it slightly in the air. He felt that Xiao Yihuo had somehow become more humane. He looked at Xiao Yihuo with a smile in his eyes. It was not a joke. He sighed and said softly, "I thought you were not interested in this."

Xiao Yihuo stood still and said seriously, "This is a very special thing. How could I not want it?"

Lin Lezhi didn't expect Xiao Yihuo to respond so seriously, and he didn't intend to make things difficult for Xiao Yihuo. He kept two for himself and gave the other two to Xiao Yihuo.

In the inn, night falls.

After hearing that Xiao Yihuo was going to Yarenzhuang, Liu Yunhe heard a 'bang' on the table. He stood up and said, "How can the prince go to that kind of place! No, absolutely not!"

Xiao Yihuo calmed Liu Yunhe's emotions and said, "Yunhe, don't worry. Lian'an is with me. It's okay."

Who knew that after Liu Yunhe heard this, his expression became even more nervous. Without even thinking, he pointed at Lin Lezhi and blurted out, "It will be even worse if he follows us."

Lin Lezhi watched the fun from the side, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I am really unreliable. You should persuade your prince not to follow me."

"You don't need to tell me, my prince will naturally..."

"Yun He."

Xiao Yihuo simply called out Liu Yunhe's name, and Liu Yunhe immediately stopped talking. He glanced at Lin Lezhi, who looked a little dissatisfied, and sat down and looked at Xiao Yihuo tentatively, saying, "Your Majesty, at least let me follow you. Young Master Jiang doesn't have any kung fu to rely on. If you encounter any problems, I can protect you at the first time."

Xiao Yihuo immediately shook his head, his eyes showing determination as he refused, "Lian An said that if too many people go, it will easily arouse suspicion. You just stay at the inn and wait for our news."

"But……"

Xiao Yihuo's eyes darkened, and Liu Yunhe stopped talking and clasped his fists, saying, "Then the prince and Mr. Jiang should rest early, I won't disturb you."

Xiao Yihuo smiled and said "hmm" softly.

Xiao Yihuo had already made a decision, and Liu Yunhe knew that he could not influence Xiao Yihuo's decision. However, when he left the room, the worry between his brows deepened.

Before closing the door, Liu Yunhe did not forget to glare at Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi was confused by the stare and didn't want to be alone in a room with Xiao Yihuo, so he stood up, yawned and said, "Nothing, I'm going to bed too."

Seeing that Lin Lezhi was about to leave, "Lian'an..." Xiao Yihuo stood up and called Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi rolled his eyes in his heart, but still kept a smile on his face and turned back to ask, "Why, does the prince have anything else to do?"

"You..." Xiao Yihuo's expression flashed a trace of doubt, and after hesitating for a moment, he changed his words: "No...nothing, I just want to tell you to have a good rest, see you tomorrow."

Lin Lezhi just felt that Xiao Yihuo was inexplicable, but he still responded kindly: "Well, see you tomorrow."

The next day, early in the morning, it was just dawn.

Lin Lezhi was still half asleep, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out in disarray, when he was awakened by Xiao Yihuo's knock on the door.

Lin Lezhi had a bad sleeping posture to begin with, and the knock on the door almost startled him into falling off the bed.

After Xiao Yihuo knocked on the door a few times, he asked softly at the door: "Lian'an, I've packed everything, are you up?"

Lin Lezhi opened the door sleepily. After seeing Xiao Yihuo, he felt that he was still sleepy and even more sleepy. He turned around and prepared to close the door.

But Xiao Yihuo had already taken a step ahead and blocked the door with his body. The next second, he entered the room as naturally as entering his own room.

Lin Lezhi rubbed his eyes, uncertain, and looked at Xiao Yihuo again.

Looking at Xiao Yihuo's clothes, Lin Lezhi just felt a headache.

Xiao Yihuo was holding a folding fan in his hand, with a piece of fine jade hanging around his waist, and his hair was neatly tied behind his head, looking like an elegant and noble young man.

Xiao Yihuo also carried with him the peace knot given to him by the children yesterday.

One is hung on the end of the folding fan, and the other is hung on the end of the jade.

It can be seen that he really treasures them, otherwise he wouldn't carry both of them at the same time.

Lin Lezhi held his forehead with his hand and said in disbelief: "Is it you who hasn't woken up yet, or me? Are you sure you want to go to that Yaren Village dressed like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo carefully looked at his whole body, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. However, looking at the look in Lin Lezhi's eyes, he felt unsure, and said with a somewhat awkward expression: "Is it weird for me to dress like this?"

Lin Lezhi said unhappily: "If you are not weird anymore, then that would be really weird."

"What does Lian An mean?"

Lin Lezhi was too lazy to explain to Xiao Yihuo. He put on his clothes casually, said "Follow me", and pulled Xiao Yihuo out the door.

Arriving outside the inn, Lin Lezhi looked around. After confirming his target, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pulled Xiao Yihuo to the front of the few people closest to him.

Seeing someone coming, several beggars leaning on the street corner immediately picked up the bowls in front of them and asked the two men for tips.

Lin Lezhi smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yihuo.

Xiao Yihuo asked in confusion: "Lian'an, what do you mean?"

Lin Lezhi pointed at the purse on Xiao Yihuo's waist and said, "I don't have any money on me. Can I lend you a few cents and pay you back later?"

Xiao Yihuo took the purse without knowing why, handed it to Lin Lezhi, and said with a gentle smile: "I said before that there is no need to separate between you and me."

Lin Lezhi gave a fake smile and did not take the money from Xiao Yihuo's hand. He just opened the purse and took out a few taels of silver from it. Then he squatted down and said to the beggars, "Is this silver enough to change the clothes you are wearing?"

The beggar immediately took the silver, bit it, and nodded like a rattle, "Yes, of course!"

When faced with such a sucker, the beggars took off their clothes very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they were left with only a pair of underwear.

The beggar said uncertainly, "Sir, do you still need these underwear?"

Lin Lezhi smiled and said, "These clothes are all I need, thank you."

After receiving the money, the beggars naturally left quickly. Lin Lezhi picked out a relatively clean piece of clothing, stood up and handed it to Xiao Yihuo, saying, "You said that we are equal, so don't blame me for not taking care of you. This is the cleanest one for you. No need to thank me."

Xiao Yihuo frowned fiercely, took a half step back, raised his hand to cover his nose and mouth, looked at Lin Lezhi uncertainly and said, "Lian'an, what do you mean by this?"

It was a rare opportunity to play a trick on Xiao Yihuo, so Lin Lezhi was very happy. He smiled and took a step closer and said, "It's nothing special. I just want you to change your clothes into this one."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Xiao Yihuo's eyes, and he almost couldn't hold back his anger. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Lian'an, I can do anything you want, but this is really not possible."

"Only those who endure the most hardships can become successful people. You can listen to me and trust me."

Xiao Yihuo showed resistance, and then coughed a few times and responded: "You don't have to suffer in this way. You know I have been weak and sick since I was a child. How can I wear such clothes? Lian'an, don't make such jokes."

"I'm not kidding." Lin Lezhi denied it immediately.

Lin Lezhi kept getting closer, and Xiao Yihuo kept retreating until he could no longer retreat. He also estimated that Xiao Yihuo had reached the limit of his tolerance, so Lin Lezhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really not wearing it?"

"Not wearing it."

"You really don't want to wear it?"

"Really." Xiao Yihuo said with eyes that couldn't be more firm.

"Okay." Lin Lezhi shrugged and compromised: "Since you don't want to wear it, I won't make it difficult for you."

Seeing Lin Lezhi turned away, Xiao Yihuo thought that Lin Lezhi had given up, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he looked at Lin Lezhi's back and saw that he was proudly shaking a few clothes in his hands and said, "You said it yourself. You don't want to go to Yarenzhuang, but it's not that I don't allow you to go."

Xiao Yihuo frowned, "When did I say I wouldn't go?"

Lin Lezhi turned around, picked up the clothes in his hand again, shook them in the air, and said with a very proud expression: "This Yang Zhifu and Zhao guards are very tight with you. That kind of place is not what you should go to. You should just wait for me to come back at the inn."

Xiao Yihuo glanced at the clothes in Lin Lezhi's hand, pondered for a moment, clenched the folding fan in his hand, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Since Lian An said so, you must have your reasons. Okay, I'll wear it."
