The prince is very cruel

After hearing this, Guan Ning's eyes gleamed with light and his heart surged!

In this case, this Shu land is indeed a great opportunity for him. He couldn't help but look deeply at Lou Xinyue and said seriously: "You are really a great blessing to me!"

Lou Xinyue felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said calmly: "I'm just speaking the truth, don't overthink it."

Guan Ning smiled. Was he overthinking it?

If it were someone else, would Lou Xinyue still follow him and give him advice? Guan Ning could feel how good she was to him.

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"The Shu River is three hundred miles long, and we are still at this point. We will probably only officially enter Shu tomorrow."

Guan Ning glanced at the not very detailed map and nodded: "Then let's rest early tonight. When we reach the shore tomorrow, we will disembark at Liuzhuang first."

Lou Xinyue nodded: "I was thinking of leaving at Liuzhuang first. If nothing goes wrong, my friend should be waiting for us there."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, a sudden sound appeared on the deck of the cargo ship.

"So you two are going to Liuzhuang? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm from Liuzhuang, hahaha!"

Guan Ning and the other man frowned and looked over. It was him again!

The man was tall and thin, with a goatee, and looked to be in his early forties. His name was Liu Jin, and he was the owner of the ship. Guan Ning and the other man had been on this ship for ten days.

During this period, he had approached Lou Xinyue more than once, although it was called a conversation, but in reality it was more like harassment.

"Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Lou Xinyue's elegant and cold face was colder than usual.

"No, no, Miss Lou, you misunderstood! I was not eavesdropping. I just passed by here and accidentally heard the two of them say that they were going to Liuzhuang." Liu Jin hurriedly explained.

Lou Xinyue was cold and even disgusted. She was not an inexperienced naive person. She had traveled all over the world and had seen all kinds of monsters and demons. The middle-aged man in front of her definitely had no good intentions.

She looked at Guan Ning, as if asking what to do.

Guan Ning walked out and said calmly, "You can go now."

Liu Jin's pockmarked face suddenly felt awkward and humiliated. After several changes of expression, he managed an ugly smile.

"Sir, girl."

"To be honest, I have no other intentions. I just feel that our acquaintance is a matter of fate. As the saying goes, it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. After we dock tomorrow, why don't you let me play the role of host?" Liu Jin invited warmly and spoke very nicely.

"No need." Lou Xinyue refused without hesitation.

Then he left the deck with Guan Ning.

The smile on Liu Jin's face gradually stiffened, and was then replaced by gloom bit by bit.

He turned around, his eyes dim, like a yellow-skinned rat, and whispered coldly: "Humph, little girl, why are you so arrogant? You are so beautiful, but you dare not know what is good for you!"

"Then don't blame me!"

"When we get to Liuzhuang, I'll control you. It'll be as easy as drinking water. I'll make you arrogant, but you won't be arrogant for long!"

"..."

The next day.

After traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers, the cargo ship finally arrived in Shu and docked in Liuzhuang.

There are many cargo ships at the dock, and even more laborers. Chattering children are also playing and fighting on the shore. Overall, it is not remote and backward.

"It looks like this place has a large population and a lot of livelihoods, so it's not poor." Guan Ning looked at the shore curiously.

Lou Xinyue explained, "This waterway is the only one leading to Shu, and this wharf is the largest one nearby. So, this little-known place like Liuzhuang has become prosperous."

"But from what I know, because the docks are so lucrative, there are a lot of evildoers here."

Guan Ning nodded. He had already seen many barefoot Taoist priests and charlatans. "Let's go."

"I think that guy surnamed Liu is looking at us in a strange way. He might be holding some grudge against us. Let's go first to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Lou Xinyue nodded, raised her leg and walked away.

Guan Ning naturally took her bag and slung it over his shoulder.

Along the way, they both adapted to each other's presence and the casual intimacy.
