Shui Yao was stunned. She was just stating a fact. If it was impossible, why would she even think of it? But Yue Nanchen looked gloomy and seemed angry. Why?

Yue Nanchen didn't even wait for her to answer. He just sat there coldly. Then he turned around and looked at the trees slowly passing by outside the car through the open curtains.

"I didn't..." Shui Yao was about to explain, but then he realized that the man didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. He suddenly fell asleep and soon began to snore softly.

Shui Yao pursed her lips. She really couldn't understand why Yue Nanchen was so awkward.

Yue Nanchen slept all day. In the evening, the carriage arrived at a small town. Lao Cui drove the carriage into the backyard of the inn, and Yue Nanchen walked straight into the inn, asked for two rooms, went into one, and slammed the door.

Shui Yao was downstairs, looking up at the tightly closed door and touching her nose. What on earth was going on with this man?

"Miss, are you with that gentleman?" The waiter was frightened by Yue Nanchen's gloomy aura and did not dare to breathe for a long time. Finally, when he saw a peerless beauty, his mood changed.

Shui Yao nodded without any interest, ordered a few side dishes casually, and went into another room. After thinking for a long time, she felt a little angry, so she kicked open the door of the next room and saw Yue Nanchen meditating on the bed to heal his injuries.

"It's time to eat!" Shui Yao brought him the dinner that the waiter had brought to the room, and imagined that the man would greet her with a smile.

Without even lifting his eyelids, Yue Nanchen just gathered his inner energy, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Hey, you...what are you angry about?" Shui Yao sat down on the couch angrily, took off her shoes and socks lazily, and glanced at her with sidelong eyes.

Finally opening his eyes, Yue Nanchen took a look at her leisurely appearance, sighed quietly in his heart, and the scene in the flower pavilion quickly flashed through his mind. He was holding back his anger, but didn't know how to vent it.

"Are you mad at Leng Yichen?" Shui Yao gradually calmed down and sneered, "I am not your relative, why are you so angry? Besides, we didn't do anything!"

Yue Nanchen opened his eyes suddenly, and the gloomy light that flashed across his eyes startled Shui Yao. She thought he would get angry, but he just turned his head away coldly and whispered, "I don't want to eat, take it out!"

Shui Yao stood up angrily, "If you don't want to eat, then forget it, but I dare not let you starve to death!" She said, and walked out angrily with the food.

Yue Nanchen sighed quietly. He admitted that he was angry and jealous, but when he thought of how Leng Yichen almost kissed her and what he said, his heart felt like it was on fire.

Now he already understood why Shuiyao misunderstood his feelings for Xiangze at that time, but he would not reconcile with Shuiyao so easily. They were both people who did not understand feelings and needed support to grow together.

Shuiyao, you should think about it for yourself!

Sitting lazily on the tree branch, she opened the red bundle, which contained her night's harvest. She picked up the shining pearls with her jade-white fingers and examined them in the moonlight, then she happily placed them on her lips and kissed them.

Yue Nanchen looked at Shuiyao on the tree branch through the window. He knew that Shuiyao must know that he was looking at her, so she expressed her truest side.

Looking at her like this, Yue Nanchen suddenly felt that all his previous unhappiness disappeared. He picked up a pot of wine, rushed out of the window, stood beside her, took a sip, and handed the pot to her.

He turned his head coldly and did not take it. Instead, he took out a bottle of rare red wine from the bag, shook it at him proudly, bit the cork with his mouth, threw it under the tree, and then gulped down the drink from the bottle.

Lan Shuiyao casually licked her red lips and glanced at him coldly, "Aren't you angry? Why are you talking to me again?"

Yue Nanchen sighed quietly, "Yao'er, do you still remember Xiangze?"

Shui Yao was stunned, her eyes darkened, she didn't answer, but just gulped down a few more gulps.

"Now I understand how you felt at that time. You were angry because you had fallen in love with me. I admit that I was jealous and petty, but I understand my love for you, my heart for you, and myself better!"

Yue Nanchen spoke softly, reaching out to grab Shui Yao's hand, "Yao'er, will you marry me? Don't let us torture each other!"

Shui Yao did not answer, nor did she pull her hand back, but just sipped the red wine slowly.

After a long silence, Shui Yao finally turned her head and looked at him, "Maybe I really am attracted to you, but that doesn't mean we have to be together! I still say that, unless you let me trust you completely, otherwise..."

Yue Nanchen did not force it, he just held her hand tightly, "Okay, but promise me, let go of your heart and feel it. If one day you feel that you can completely trust me, then marry me!"

Shui Yao's expression suddenly became relaxed, "Okay!" She chuckled, threw the red wine in her hand to Yue Nanchen, and smiled faintly, "I want to rest, we have to hurry before noon, don't bother me the rest of the time!"

Yue Nanchen nodded and watched her disappear into the room. He then drank alone under the moon, thinking of a good strategy to deal with the enemy.

Before noon, Shui Yao finally stretched and walked out of the room, and saw Yue Nanchen already sitting downstairs waiting, and Lao Cui had also harnessed the carriage.

"Hey, do you know? Last night a female ghost came to our town and robbed several of the richest families in the town, especially Mr. Zhang's family. His bottle of precious imperial wine, which was said to be given by the previous emperor, was stolen!

Mr. Zhang must be heartbroken now. He would take out the imperial wine every year to hold a wine appreciation meeting. What a pity! Although he has never seen the fine wine inside, the white jade wine bottle alone is enough to make people salivate! "

"What kind of female ghost is that? It's a female thief. But the thief must be a beauty, because I was peeing at the time and only saw her back. That back was graceful and indescribably charming!"

Shui Yao walked calmly among the people who were talking, got on the carriage, glanced at Yue Nanchen, and suddenly, as a prank, threw the white jade bottle of red wine on the ground, then walked away in silence.

"Hehehe!" Shui Yao pursed her lips and giggled, her red dress fluttering, her black hair flowing, and she was extremely arrogant. However, it was this kind of arrogance that made every man want to conquer her and fall in love with her!

"Naughty!" Yue Nanchen chuckled and shook his head helplessly, but then whispered, "Take me with you next time you go, I'll keep watch for you!"

Shui Yao glanced at him lazily, "The dignified Prince of Yongnan is a thief?!"

Yue Nanchen chuckled and said nothing, just staring at him infatuatedly. In fact, as long as he was with her, what was the problem with being a thief?

There was no conversation along the way. On the third day, they finally returned to Louxi Kingdom. However, they did not expect that Yulu City was already shrouded in war. Ji Xiang recruited some talented people from somewhere and set up a dragon gate formation in front of Yulu City.

The Yulu City was surrounded tightly, and at the same time, Shui Yao and Yue Nanchen were also facing a huge test.

Thirty miles away from Yulu City, the troops of Louxi Kingdom imposed martial law. It seemed that they knew Lan Shuiyao and Yue Nanchen were not in the city. On the one hand, they intensified the offensive against Yulu City, and on the other hand, they set up checkpoints on the road.

In the small town, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lan Shuiyao and Yue Nanchen temporarily stayed in an inn, waiting for accurate information from Wantongtang before taking any action.

"Master!" The door knocked three times, followed by a man's voice.

Yue Nanchen glanced at Shuiyao who was resting on the bed. As if he was afraid of waking her up, he quietly opened the door and went out.

At the back door of the inn, the leader of the Wantong Hall branch, dressed in black, looked solemn, "The leader has sent a message that Yulu City can no longer hold out. Yulu City has been under siege for seven days, and there is very little food and grass left.

The hall master has collected food from the people several times, and the people's food is running low. The most important thing is that Miss Lan Yi's ammunition has been used up. This is the letter Miss Lan Yi sent by carrier pigeon. "

Yue Nanchen frowned coldly. She didn't expect that Ji Xiang would act so quickly. After failing to gain any advantage in Han Country, she returned to Louxi Country so quickly. Together with Tian Wen, the two of them were indeed difficult to deal with. Moreover, he was still seriously injured and had not recovered yet...

"Go back and keep a close eye on the news from Yulu City. Report any disturbance immediately!"
