By the time they arrived outside Fengyang City, it was already completely dark.
Soldiers guarded the walls of Fengyang City day and night. The soldiers on guard at night were even more closely packed together.
As Lu Shiyan carried Jiang Tangtang over the city wall, they encountered patrolling soldiers. Jiang Tangtang's heart was in her throat, fearing they would be discovered.
But Lu Shiyan's lightness skill was too good.
He was like a gust of wind in the dark night. The soldiers guarding the city only vaguely felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes. When they looked more closely, they found nothing and wondered if it was just their imagination.
Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang had already drifted away from the city gate.
Fengyang City has a curfew at night, so the two of them entering the city at this time would have no chance of staying at an inn.
However, since the two of them had slept all day, they weren't sleepy at all and it didn't matter if they didn't sleep.
That night was particularly exciting for Jiang Tangtang.
She followed Lu Shiyan as they leaped across rooftops and walls, covering every inch of Fengyang. She gained a deeper understanding of Lu Shiyan's light-footed skills.
It seems that his lightness skill is constantly improving.
Before, she only felt that he was fast, but now she also felt his lightness. Often, it was like a leaf falling to the ground, leaving no trace.
The key point is that he also had a girlfriend with him.
He would have performed even better if she hadn't been with him.
Even with her as a burden, Lu Shiyan still visited the heavily guarded Prince Rui's mansion.
However, the two did nothing that night. Lu Shiyan was simply there to familiarize himself with the terrain.
Even in the middle of the night, he found an empty room in a secluded courtyard of the Prince Rui's mansion to rest.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "He's truly skilled and daring."
Perhaps only he could do something so dangerous and act so matter-of-factly.
Thinking about this person's true identity, she felt relieved.
Even though he transmigrated into a mortal body, he is still a celestial lord from the upper realm at heart. It's normal that he doesn't take Prince Rui's guards seriously.
With Lu Shiyan by her side, Jiang Tangtang felt very safe and eventually fell asleep at the Prince Rui's residence. When she woke up, she was already at an inn.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know when he had brought the inn she was staying at. After learning that he didn't have any plans for the day, Jiang Tangtang quickly tidied up and took him out the door.
Fengyang City was bustling during the day. Jiang Tangtang treated herself as a tourist and dragged Lu Shiyan around the city, having a great time.
As a food lover, my favorite part of shopping is eating. Although the snacks in Fengyang City are different from those in modern times, there are still quite a lot of them.
Jiang Tangtang would buy anything that looked fresh or appealing to her and try it out. If she didn't like it or couldn't finish it, she would give it to Lu Shiyan.
Yesterday, the two disguised themselves as herbalists and failed to enter the city. Today, they didn't pretend to be herbalists either.
However, Jiang Tangtang was acutely aware of Lu Shiyan's stunning appearance. A man with such a face was bound to be easily remembered when he went shopping.
So she used her points to activate the random reward. She opened the reward three times before finally getting the disguise powder she wanted.
This powder, when applied to the face, cannot alter a person's facial features. However, after applying this disguise powder, the skin will appear several shades yellow, becoming dull and lackluster. The person's overall appearance will suddenly become much less recognizable.
Jiang Tangtang then used the makeup skills she learned in her previous life to give the two of them a simple makeover.
So at this moment, the two of them walking on the street looked like just an ordinary young couple.
Even so, the two still attracted people's attention.
"Third brother, that couple has such a good relationship!" At this moment, on the painted boat, Wei Yiling looked at Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang at the wonton stall with envy.
There is an inner river in Fengyang City, with lush trees lining its banks. It is not only a favorite place for nobles to enjoy themselves, but also a popular spot for resourceful commoners to set up various stalls along its banks.
Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan were strolling along the riverbank today.
The painted boat that Wei Yiling was in was also moving along the riverbank. She had noticed the two of them earlier as well.
As the youngest and most beloved daughter of Prince Rui, there are many things she cannot do.
For example, she cannot go out whenever she wants, and she cannot choose her own marriage.
Perhaps the more unattainable something is, the more one desires it. Wei Yiling's greatest desire is to be with the one she loves and live freely.
However, her father betrothed her to a burly military general.
Wei Yang could see his sister's sadness, but the marriage was arranged by their father, and there was nothing he could do about it.
All he could do was secretly bring his younger sister out to play.
He had his servants prepare clothes in advance, and the two of them were now dressed in plain clothes, like ordinary people, eating, drinking and having fun among the crowd.
Wei Yiling's heart, which had been heavy for many days, finally felt a little lighter.
Wei Yang advised his sister, "Perhaps the two are not husband and wife at all, but just mistresses kept by some young master. And the loving couple you saw today is just an illusion."
Wei Yiling said unhappily, "You're talking nonsense, that's impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? I'm your own brother, would I lie to you? The husband Father chose for you isn't bad at all. He's a military general under Father, would he dare to bully you?"
Wei Yang felt that he was a man, and that men understood men best.
Men, unless they're dead and hung on the wall, are never honest.
There are men who dote on women like the man across the street, but they would never dote on their wives.
Most of them are female confidantes outside the home...
Moreover, such favor is often fleeting, like a flash in the pan. Men are, for all time, creatures who crave beauty and novelty.
He felt that his sister should face reality as soon as possible, stop having those unrealistic fantasies, and live a good life with the husband that their father had chosen for her.
At least the generals under the father's command dared not philander outside the palace due to the father's authority.
Wei Yiling couldn't accept this blow. Her gaze fell on Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan again. "I don't believe it. Why don't we go ask them?"
Wei Yang thought his sister was too naive. "How can you ask? If someone is keeping a mistress, are you going to openly admit it?"
"Watch me," Wei Yiling said, instructing the boatman to bring the pleasure boat to shore. Once the boat was ashore, she jumped off and walked towards the wonton stall.
Wei Yang had no choice but to chase after him.
"Boss, two bowls of wontons, please," she called out to the woman cooking the wontons.
After ordering the food, she walked over to the table where Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan were sitting, and said to Jiang Tangtang, "Sister, may my brother and I share a table with you?"
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the obviously empty table next to her, assuming it was just another woman captivated by Lu Shiyan's good looks, and said indifferently, "Do as you please."
But after saying that, she couldn't help turning to look at Lu Shiyan. As she looked, she wondered to herself.
Having already disguised herself, how could she still attract attention?
However, with his exceptionally handsome features, it's understandable that he attracts attention.
Although he had applied makeup powder, making his complexion appear yellower and duller, the fake mustache also made him look more than ten years older than usual.
But there's nothing we can do; this person's facial features are just too perfect. Even with disguise, he still looks like a handsome middle-aged man.
