"Princess, please wait!"
"Princess, please wait!"
As the carriage moved further and further away, and the people of the northern city also became more and more distant, Lin Yuxin slowly lowered the carriage curtain and saw two men, one tall and one short, staring intently at her from the opposite side.
"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me?"
Lin Yuxin felt uncomfortable watching and frowned as she asked.
"We're just looking to see what this princess, who is so beloved by the people of Beicheng, looks like."
Li Xiaochen chuckled jokingly.
Xiao Hao sat to the side and nodded in agreement.
Lin Yuxin didn't answer, but rolled her eyes at her.
Are these two now working together like mad? Their relationship is so good? Something's not right!
Lin Yuxin looked at the two suspiciously, only to see them exchange a disdainful glance before turning their heads away together.
[Yes! It's still the same two people, nothing's changed!]
They rushed to the north city to get there as soon as possible, but they didn't have to on the way back. Li Xiaochen led Lin Yuxin and Xiao Hao, walking slowly, stopping from time to time to admire the scenery and the city's unique features.
Lord Long and his entourage had to return to the capital to report for duty, so Wang Yu sent them back ahead of time. Even Zhao Yi and Lin Yuxin sent them back early, leaving only Xueying by their side.
So they walked more leisurely. Now, they only had Lin Yuxin, Li Xiaochen, and Xiao Hao with Wang Yu, Xueying, and Xiaodie by their side.
They pretended to be a family of three with maids and servants, going out for a stroll, and it actually looked quite convincing!
The group traveled towards the capital for three days, and also spent three days sightseeing.
"Ahead lies Linshui County, the capital of Fuzhou!"
Wang Yu handed a pot of water to Li Xiaochen and said.
Between the capital and Jibei City, there are two cities: Ruzhou City and Fuzhou City.
Unlike the scorching heat and dry ground of Jibei City, Fuzhou City, despite being adjacent to Jibei City, was completely unaffected by the drought there, because the southernmost part of Fuzhou City is the sea.
Therefore, the people of Fuzhou have never lacked food or seafood.
"Perfect timing! Let's go see the sea! I've never seen the sea before!"
Upon hearing the name Fuzhou, Lin Yuxin immediately thought of the sea, and her eyes lit up!
[Beachcombing, beachcombing! She's never been to the beachcombing world before! She also wants to eat seafood, lobster, crab! Ah! It's been so long since she's had any!]
Lin Yuxin's mouth watered at the thought of lobsters. In her previous life, she loved seafood but never had time to eat it because she was always dealing with patients or wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
Even when they finally get a day off, they're always summoned back by hospital leaders to give lectures to interns or to study tasks assigned by the military region.
After arriving here, you won't find any seafood at all! We've finally come to a place with the sea, how can we not eat our fill?
"Wang Yu, once we enter Fuzhou, we won't go to Linshui County; we'll go straight to Haiya Village in the south!"
After listening to Lin Yuxin's thoughts, Li Xiaochen felt that this request could be fulfilled, so he spoke to Wang Yu.
"yes!"
Although Wang Yu was surprised, he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
"Haiya Village? Is it by the sea?"
Lin Yuxin asked curiously.
"Yes, Haiya Village is a small village at the southernmost part of Fuzhou City. It is closest to the sea. I was wounded in battle before and was rescued by the villagers there when I was escaping, so I know about the situation there. Since you're here now, I'll take you to see it."
Li Xiaochen held Lin Yuxin's hand and spoke softly.
"Okay, I'll go see who your savior is, and I'll thank him for you then!"
Lin Yuxin nodded, indicating that she would fulfill her responsibilities as a girlfriend and that she could take care of repaying the debt of gratitude on her behalf!
"Very well, I'll trouble you, Madam!"
Li Xiaochen smiled, in a good mood, and looked at Lin Yuxin with doting eyes.
Lin Yuxin felt that Li Xiaochen's gaze was aggressive, as if he could tear her apart and devour her at any moment. This made Lin Yuxin's cheeks flush slightly, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Xiao Hao, sitting to the side, felt that the two of them were practically staring at each other, and he, sitting there, suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, so he couldn't help but speak up:
"Sisters, aren't you hungry?"
Lin Yuxin snapped out of her daze, her cheeks slightly flushed. She quickly picked up a slice of meat from the side and handed it to Xiao Hao, pretending to be nonchalant as she spoke:
"Ah! Xiao Hao is hungry, come and have some jerky!"
Li Xiaochen glared fiercely at the brat, thinking him an eyesore.
When we return to the capital this time, we'll have the Emperor acknowledge this kid back, so he won't be an eyesore between him and Xin Xin!
Li Xiaochen felt that his decision was very wise.
Xiao Hao, however, was unaware that Li Xiaochen was preparing to pack him up and send him back to the palace.
After they had rested and eaten their fill, they set off for Haiya Village.
This time, we didn't linger and continued on our way. On the second night, we finally arrived at Yushui County, the closest county to Haiya Village.
They planned to stay at an inn for the night and then head to Haiya Village the next day.
"Manager, I'd like four excellent guest rooms!"
Wang Yu booked a room at the inn in advance.
"I'm sorry, we only have two rooms available. Would you like to continue?"
The shopkeeper explained apologetically.
Wang Yu hesitated. There were only two rooms. How could they possibly stay there?
"live."
At this moment, Li Xiaochen walked in with Lin Yuxin and said in a deep voice.
Then Wang Yu obediently paid the money and went upstairs with the innkeeper to see the room.
Lin Yuxin looked at Li Xiaochen and asked, puzzled:
"Two rooms? How are we supposed to sleep? I can share a room with Xiaodie, but will the three of you men plus a child fit?"
“I’ll share a room with you tonight. I’m not comfortable leaving the two of you, weak women, alone in a room outside. Xiaodie and Xiaohao will sleep in the next room, and Wang Yu will watch over them. As for Xueying…?”
