Even though Yun Wenting had a good temper, he got a little angry after hearing this: "Second brother, what are you talking about?"
Yun Wenting's mouth curled up, he glanced at Yun Wenting, raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I wrong? You were obviously very angry when you saw Wu Yiyu bullying Xiao Jinglin just now. But when you stood in front of people, you still forced yourself to smile and invited them on board. Master Yun, aren't you tired?"
Yun Wenting pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, but he didn't get angry anymore. Instead, he asked calmly, "Oh? What would you do?"
Yun Wenfang tilted his head to think carefully, then sneered and said half-seriously, "If she hits someone I like with that stick, I'll kick her into the river. And then tell her, 'Get away from me! Don't let me see you again! I'll kick you every time I see you!'"
Yun Wenting smiled upon hearing this, shook his head, and looked at his brother tolerantly, as if he was looking at a willful child: "You!"
Yun Wenfang raised an eyebrow: "What? You think I don't dare?"
Yun Wenting shook his head and said gently, "No, I know you dare." Yun Wenting was silent for a moment, "But, you don't have to endure it, but the Yun family always needs someone to endure it."
Yun Wenting's voice was soft and gentle. Yun Wenfang glanced at him but stopped mocking him.
After passing the bridge hole, the pleasure boat had a smooth journey.
"Sorry for scaring you. I didn't expect to meet them." Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi after sitting down in the houseboat.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine."
Xiao Jinglin thought for a moment, then said to Ren Yaoqi, "The woman just now was named Wu Yiyu. She's my aunt's only daughter, and we've always been at odds. You're with me today... If you run into her in the future, try to avoid her and don't let yourself get hurt."
Ren Yaoqi laughed: "Are you still worried that she will bring disaster to me? Don't worry, I won't stay in Yunyang City for a few days, and I don't go out much. In a few days, I will follow the elders back to Baihe Town. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet this Sister Wu."
Xiao Jinglin thought it was right, so he nodded and said nothing more.
The pleasure boat sailed north along the city's waterway, slowing down after about an incense stick of time. The sound of the boatwoman talking to someone outside could be heard. They must have reached the city's sluice gate, which was guarded. Yunyang City was considered the most important town in northern Yan, and its defenses were well-stocked. However, because the waterway was rarely used, the troops guarding the north and south sluice gates were half the number of those guarding the four city gates.
Xiao Jinglin pulled out something like a handwritten note from his sleeve, gave it to his maid, and asked her to take it out. He then sat down by the window.
The guards outside naturally knew that anyone who could so brazenly enter through the north gate must be from the palace. So, during their routine interrogation, they were very polite. After seeing the handwritten note the maid had brought out, they caught a glimpse of Xiao Jinglin's profile sitting by the window, immediately saluted, and ordered their men to open the gate.
The pleasure boat successfully sailed out of the city through the inner city canal, and the canal gradually widened. Xiao Jinglin ordered the maid to open the curtains on both sides of the pleasure boat so that the people on the boat could have a clear view of the scenery outside.
The sun shone across the vast river, a shimmering, dazzling golden light. The wind from the window carried a damp, fishy smell. It wasn't a pleasant smell, but it was refreshing.
The further you go outside the city, the greener the banks become.
