This visit finally calmed the anxious hearts of the Jiang family, big and small. The two returned to the Duke's Mansion at dusk.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and leaned on Xiao Tuo, saying coquettishly: "I told you that my parents love you."

Xiao Tuo leaned over and kissed her snow-white and delicate cheek, and said in a low voice: "The father-in-law and mother-in-law love the whole family."

Seeing that Jiang and Jiang Nansheng finally put aside their doubts, Jiang Yuanyi was happier than Xiao Tuo. She happily hugged Xiao Tuo's neck and took the initiative to kiss his tall nose.

Xiao Tuo smiled and hugged her in his arms.

The curtain was blown up by the wind, and a sweet but not greasy fragrance floated in. Jiang Yuanyi lifted it and saw that the carriage just passed by her favorite pastry shop.

Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly called out, "Stop."

Xiao Tuo grabbed Jiang Yuanyi's wrist and pulled her back to sit down beside him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuanyi's watery eyes were full of smiles, "I want to go downstairs to buy some snacks."

Xiao Tuo said, "Let Xiaoqing buy them."

Jiang Yuanyi said aggrievedly, "I want to go downstairs and choose for myself. I haven't been out for a long time."

Xiao Tuo smiled and lifted the curtain, "I'll go with you."

The owner of the pastry shop was busy with the things in his hands. When he heard the footsteps, he greeted without raising his head, "The shop has new products such as plum blossom cakes, seven-piece snacks, and sugar-steamed cheese..."

He raised his head as he spoke, and saw a flawless face with stunning eyebrows and eyes. He raised his head with a coquettish smile and said something to the man beside her.

The boss was stunned for a few moments by astonishment, then he became more interested and ran forward to introduce.

Jiang Yuanyi selected a few of her favorite dishes, and also picked some flavors that her mother-in-law liked, and then turned away contentedly.

Xiaoqing and Zhuyi took the boxes handed over by the boss.

Jiang Yuanyi raised her foot to leave, and found that Xiao Tuo suddenly stopped moving. She looked up at Xiao Tuo.

The dim light reflected on Xiao Tuo's deep features. His eyes were cold, his brows were slightly frowned, and he saw

something not far away. "What's wrong..." She muttered softly.

Jiang Yuanyi followed his gaze and saw a man in moon-white clothes standing at the door of the tavern diagonally opposite, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and his face was a little drunk.

Chu Huan saw Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo as soon as he came out of the tavern.

The girl who was as cold as ice in front of him stood beside Xiao Tuo in a charming and charming manner, looking up at him from time to time with crooked eyes.

His heart seemed to be pierced to the bottom by a thin needle, and after the sharp pain passed, the blood slowly flowed out.

Looking closer, her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were bright. They were newlyweds... When Chu Huan thought of Jiang Yuanyi enjoying herself under someone else, he felt that his chest was stuffy and he couldn't breathe.

Chu Huan walked over and stood in front of the two of them, his cheeks slightly flushed, looking a little drunk, but his voice still clear: "What a coincidence."

Xiao Tuo said lightly: "Not a coincidence."

Xiao Tuo stood in front of Jiang Yuanyi and looked at Chu Huan with sneer: "My wife and I are going back home. Get out of the way."

Chu Huan's eyes flashed with sinisterness, and his gentle expression collapsed in an instant. He looked at the corner of Xiao Tuo's clothes behind him, his voice trembling: "Jiang Yuanyi, tell me why?"

Jiang Yuanyi felt waves of disgust in her heart, wondering what kind of affectionate drama Chu Huan was acting here.

Xiao Tuo's anger suddenly rose. He stepped forward and grabbed Chu Huan's collar. His dark eyes were full of sinister coldness: "Why?"

He looked Chu Huan in the eyes and sneered:

"Don't you know what you are?"

Chu Huan still stared at the back of Xiao Tuo, standing there without moving. Xiao Tuo pushed him away with his shoulder, holding Jiang Yuanyi's hand and passing him.

Chu Huan was knocked to the side. He held the wine bottle tightly and looked up at Jiang Yuanyi's back in a trance.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Tuo, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy. She raised her hand and gently pulled his sleeve.

Although it was only a side view, the gentle and doting expression in front of her could be vaguely seen.

"Jiang Yuanyi..."

Chu Huan kept repeating this name in his heart and threw the bottle of wine in his hand.

The wine bottle was broken all over the floor. The spicy wine slowly seeped into the soil...

"Are you angry?"

Jiang Yuanyi poked Xiao Tuo's face with her hand, blinked and put her pretty face in front of him.

Xiao Tuo leaned his head on the carriage, raised his head slightly, and kissed Jiang Yuanyi's chin.

Her flawless beauty was still as charming as ever in the dim light. Xiao Tuo's eyes deepened: "Not angry."

He suddenly smiled, his eyebrows raised: "I can protect you."

Jiang Yuanyi looked at him blankly, speechless for a moment.

He finally... was no longer nervous.

Jiang Yuanyi slowly lowered her eyes and said softly: "Yeah." "

Actually, you don't have to watch over me. I will stay by your side, be good, and not go anywhere.

At night, Jiang Yuanyi knew that all the talk of not being angry was fake...

a liar.

————

The fastest way to get from the capital to Jinzhou is to travel by land first and then by water, but even so, it will take nearly half a month to go back and forth.

Xiao Tuo and the other two were all traveling light, but thinking of Jiang Yuanyi, they wanted to bring a few more maids and guards and go in a carriage.

When Jiang Yuanyi heard this, she immediately jumped up from Xiao Tuo's arms: "No need!"

Xiao Tuo took her hand and sat down, looking at her: "You want to ride a horse?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded: "Sister can do it, so can I."

Xiao Tuo frowned slightly: "But it's not just riding for one or two days, it will be very tiring."

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head: "I'm not a spoiled lady, it's fast and convenient for the four of us to ride horses. Besides, won't we all take a boat in the next few days?"

Xiao Tuo thought about it, even if Jiang Yuanyi was tired by then, she could borrow a carriage from someone, and just bring enough banknotes, so he followed her wishes.

Xiao Tuo took Jiang Yuan to the stable to choose a horse.

Jiang Yuanyi got on the horse and tried it, and chose a white horse. Xiao Tuo led the horse out and handed it to the servant: "Take good care of it tonight."

Hearing that the four people were going out without a carriage, Xiaoqing and Zhuyi lightened up their luggage. Xiaoqing packed her luggage with a worried look on her face, feeling a little uneasy. This was the first time that the young lady went on a long journey and she didn't go with her.

Zhuyi looked helpless: "The young master is following you, why do you worry about it."

Xiaoqing: "Auntie is, but..."

Zhuyi gently hit Jiang Yuanyi's hand: "Okay, get along well with the guard these few days."

Xiaoqing was silent in an instant, and her face turned red.

After hearing this, Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Kangyuan: "What do you think, I have a good eye, right?"

Xiao Kangyuan blew his beard and said: "Let Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu take good care of them. If anything happens to my two girls, I will kill them both."

Xiao smiled.

The next morning, the four of them went out. Riding four strong and upright horses, carrying simple bags.

For convenience, Xiao Tingyi and Jiang Yuanyi both wore men's clothes and had men's buns.

Although you can tell that they are girls if you look closely, they are much more low-key than those wearing women's clothes.

Xiao Tingyi has been to many places, but Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu usually play near the capital and have never been to places farther away. Jiang Yuanyi was even more excited. It was the first time that she ran out so freely.

The four of them did not speed up their pace, but played while walking.

In front of them was a lush forest, with sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves. From here, they could see a river not far away, sparkling and flowing in the sunlight.

Xiao Tuo stopped his horse, looked at the three of them, and pointed over there: "Go and take a rest there."

After running for a few hours, both the man and the horse were a little tired. The three of them nodded and rode their horses in small steps to the river.

Xiao Tuo was the first to dismount, walked to Jiang Yuanyi's side, and stretched out his hand: "Get down."

Jiang Yuanyi dismounted neatly from the other side, with a childish look on his face: "I can do it myself."

Xiao Tuo sneered and took the two horses to drink some water and eat some grass.

Lin Zhengyu took out his water bag and went to the river to get some clean water. Jiang Yuanyi took out some dry food from the bag and handed it to Xiao Tingyi.

Xiao Tingyi was looking at the map, he took it and ate two bites, then remembered something and looked at Jiang Yuanyi: "Can you read it?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded. She had read so many military books and even used a sand table at home to imitate the most turbulent border line between Ning'an Kingdom and Weiyuan Kingdom. It was no problem for her to read such a simple map.

Xiao Tingyi spread the map with his slender fingers, looked at it carefully again, and said: "If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me."

Jiang Yuanyi was flattered and nodded quickly.

"Yier, Zhengyu and I are going to the woods to hunt, do you want to go?"

Jiang Yuanyi stood up: "Okay!"

Xiao Tingyi waved his hand: "You go, I'll stay and look after the horses."

Although Xiao Tingyi was a martial arts expert, Lin Zhengyu was worried about her being here alone, so he stayed to accompany her.

Xiao Tuo carried a quiver and a longbow, and took Jiang Yuanyi deep into the forest.

The two of them hunted two rabbits and came back.

Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu cooperated very well, one cleaned the rabbits and the other made a fire, and they soon started roasting them.

It was the first time that Jiang Yuanyi ate game outside, and she was a little excited.

"Do you guys often do this?"

Xiao Tuo nodded: "When I was a kid, I had nothing to do, so I would run out to hunt after practicing martial arts."

He and Lin Zhengyu have loved playing since they were young, so naturally there were many interesting things that happened. When he talked about the past, his eyebrows were always slightly raised. It was because of the youthful vigor that Jiang Yuanyi was fascinated unconsciously.

That handsome face suddenly came closer, and the narrow black eyes hid a narrow smile: "Am I so good-looking?"

Jiang Yuanyi's face turned red.

Lin Zhengyu kicked Xiao Tuo on the butt: "Have some shame."

Xiao Tuo looked at Jiang Yuanyi's eyelashes that kept trembling, and he felt refreshed. The four of them rested for a while and then set off again.

In the evening, the four of them found an inn to rest.

There were already many people eating in the lobby of the inn. The door was pushed open with a bang. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw three young people in plain clothes. The clothes looked simple, but upon closer inspection, they were finely embroidered and low-key and luxurious.

The key point was that the temperament of the three people was naturally noble. Each of them had outstanding looks, and two of them were obviously female relatives. The waiter knew that a distinguished guest had arrived, and hurriedly stood up to greet them: "Four gentlemen, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Xiao Tuo put his hands on the counter: "It's so late, what do you think?"

The waiter hurriedly smiled and said: "We have three types of rooms here, all of which are spare. May I ask how many rooms do you want?"

Xiao Tuo said: "The best, two."

Jiang Yuanyi stood beside Xiao Tuo, her neat and tidy bun revealing her flawless face. Several blatant eyes kept stopping at her, and Jiang Yuanyi frowned unhappily.

Xiao Tuo paid the bill, turned his head slightly, and saw Jiang Yuanyi moving towards him with an uneasy look on her face.

He turned back sharply and saw a dozen burly men sitting in the hall, with bare arms engraved with green circular patterns, holding the same broadswords, and some of them were looking at Jiang Yuanyi with lustful eyes.

Xiao Tuo took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tingyi, his eyes gloomy and his voice unconsciously carried a bit of cruelty: "Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
