Yi Shuihan frowned: "We haven't explored this river yet, we don't know the situation, what if something unexpected happens..."

"Isn't he there?"

Xiao Qingyin nodded towards Zhao Xu.

"Let him lead the way for me."

Zhao Xu never expected that the fat pigeon would bring him a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I can help guide you! I guarantee to escort you safely to Nan Yue."

It's truly a case of "the mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but then a new village appears amidst the willows and flowers."

He actually managed to return to Southeast County!

Southeast County was his territory. As long as he could go back... He glanced at Xiao Qingyin without showing any emotion. Then he could finally avenge himself.

Yi Shuihan still felt it was a bit risky, but he knew that Xiao Qingyin always valued family and friends.

Yun Zhao is her cousin, and the accident happened because he came to Nandan to find her. She couldn't just stand by and watch Yun Zhao suffer.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "I'll go with you."

Xiao Qingyin exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing coming with me? You are the ruler of Nandan. We can't do without you, no matter who else is here."

“If we take this underground river, the round trip will only take a little over half a month,” Yi Shuihan said with a smile. “As long as we arrange things properly, there won’t be any problems.”

"no."

Xiao Qingyin shook her head.

"It's too risky. What if the news leaks out and the Prince of Dai is waiting over there? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap? If I go alone and get caught, you can still come and save me."

Yi Shuihan found it quite amusing.

"Won't I worry if you take the risk alone? I'd rather we both suffer together than live in fear a thousand miles away."
