Chapter 587 Return to West City
There is some distance between Haiguo and Xicheng, and it takes the longest time to travel by land. However, it is different by water, which only takes half a day. In addition, the scenery on both sides is endless and has its own charm.
But there is a faster means of transportation than water, which is naturally the boat, which only takes a short time to get there.
But Ouyang Mingxi just wanted to send An Yan off, and An Yan agreed, so the two of them set off on a boat.
Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu sat on the Dark Moon Realm Lord's boat and followed beside him.
Yan Qingqiu frowned. He looked at the big ship next door. It was really magnificent and had everything he needed. He could only say that Ouyang Mingxi really knew how to enjoy life. It seemed that it was even more comfortable than his own ship.
Li Rongsen stood on the deck and looked towards An Yan's boat. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything about it. Now he could only watch. Fortunately, after returning to West City, Ouyang Mingxi would be coming back, so he didn't have to be too upset.
"This guy really seems to have changed. He's so clingy to An Yan." Yan Qingqiu frowned and said with a complaining look on his face.
"He must have developed feelings for her as well." Li Rongsen said with a slightly depressed mood, "Since he has developed feelings for her, then what about An Yan? Has she developed some feelings for her as well?"
"Just ask later." Yan Qingqiu said.
"I dare not ask." Li Rongsen lowered his eyes.
"When did you become so timid? If you don't ask, I will." Yan Qingqiu said generously.
"Since it is a destined relationship, both parties must have the same feelings, just like falling in love at first sight. You don't understand why you fall in love with her." Li Rongsen has been thinking about this matter these two days.
Yan Qingqiu patted Li Rongsen's chest and said, "Don't worry, you'll develop feelings for each other over time. It's only a matter of time."
"I think An Yan treats him well. When has she ever treated a man like this?" Li Rongsen was still a little worried.
"They are just ordinary friends. Besides, she thinks that it was Ouyang Mingxi who saved her, so naturally she has to express her gratitude. This kind of feeling is different from love. Why are you so unconfident in yourself?" Yan Qingqiu felt that Li Rongsen was too self-deprecating.
But Li Rongsen is not self-deprecating. He said, "Things like love and fate don't make sense. If it's destined to happen, who can stop it?"
"Aren't you two in love already?" Yan Qingqiu felt that there must be a way.
Li Rongsen lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "Give the novel to her first after you go back."
"Of course, you will understand it once you give it to her, and she will definitely have a great change in her opinion of you." Yan Qingqiu felt that this was a trump card, and it was An Yan who prepared it personally for today, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"They were having a pretty good chat." Li Rongsen could also see the scene in the cabin from outside because the gauze curtain was being lifted.
Ouyang Mingxi was making tea for An Yan and said, "How about trying this flower tea?"
An Yan picked up the jade cup on the table and took a sip. Then she said, "Not bad. Very fragrant and a little sweet."
"This is a scented tea made from various flowers. It is refreshing and nourishing, and can also keep you young. You can take some back later." Ouyang Mingxi said to her.
"You saved me, so I should be the one thanking you. Why are you the one giving me things instead?" An Yan said.
"I saved you willingly and don't ask for anything in return." Ouyang Mingxi said as he poured more water for An Yan.
An Yan lowered her eyes.
"When I'm free, I'll go to Xicheng to see you, how about that?" Ouyang Mingxi asked.
"Since you are here, I will do my best to be a good host," said An Yan.
Ouyang Ming smiled faintly and said, "Okay, wait until I'm done with this busy period."
An Yan nodded.
"I have something to deliver to you in two days, so don't refuse." Ouyang Mingxi told her in advance.
"What is it?" An Yan asked, and then said, "Western City doesn't lack anything. You don't have to bother sending it to me."
"Haiguo and Xicheng are going to form an alliance, so it's only natural for them to send some gifts. Just accept them." Ouyang Mingxi told her in a soft tone, signaling her not to refuse.
An Yan felt that this was true, so she said, "Since this is the case, my West City should also prepare the ceremony of alliance."
"How about we write down the leader's name and call everyone to the meeting someday?" Ouyang Mingxi asked her.
"Okay, let the old man choose a day. Tell me which day is more convenient for you and we can arrange it together." An Yan said. She thought it was a good idea to form an alliance with the Sea Kingdom. It would benefit everyone to trade with them from then on.
Ouyang Mingxi poured An Yan some more tea and said, "Okay, we'll exchange letters often."
An Yan nodded, though she didn't say anything. Then she listened to Ouyang Mingxi say, "I'll be introducing some policies and strategies in the next two days to facilitate travel between our two places. We'll also discuss the currency we should use for trade, and how we can complement each other's needs."
"I will go back and discuss it, and then we can reach a consensus." An Yan felt that this matter was very important and that she should go back and discuss it with the old man. Moreover, this was a big deal, and all the surrounding small cities, towns and countries could be involved.
Haiguo is the richest country besides Xicheng, and it has a group of obedient people under its command, so healthy exchanges with it are necessary.
Ouyang Mingxi nodded slightly. He was actually reluctant to part with An Yan. He even felt that the time he had spent with her was too short, but he couldn't be impatient, so as not to scare her.
After a while, we arrived at West City.
An Yan looked outside the cabin and found that Li Rongsen on the boat next door was looking over here. She happened to meet his eyes and quickly looked away.
Listen to Yan Qingqiu shouting from the other end: "Hey, it's time to get off the boat. We've arrived at Xicheng. Let's go home."
These words were spoken to Ouyang Mingxi. He wanted to hold An Yan's hand and help her up, but she had already stood up by herself and walked out of the boat.
Ouyang Mingxi glanced at his empty hand, then slowly turned his back.
An Yan had already walked onto the deck, watching the ship slowly approach the shore, and a guard put the ladder in place first.
Li Rongsen walked down first. He came to An Yan's side, stretched out his hand, and motioned her to hold his hand, but An Yan ignored him and just walked on.
This made Ouyang Mingxi, who was walking behind, feel much better. The corners of his mouth lifted up involuntarily, but he quickly put away the fleeting expression and continued walking.
But then he heard An Yan say, "Young Master, please stay. I'll just drop you off here."
Ouyang Mingxi paused when he heard her say this, then stood on the deck and said to her, "We'll meet again."
"Okay." An Yan nodded and said, "Take care on your journey."
Ouyang Mingxi didn't say anything, but just walked back into the cabin.
An Yan took the lead and walked forward, but saw the old man and his servants hurried over, and there were also several carriages.
The old man shouted to An Yan: "City Lord, I'm late."
An Yan stopped and waited for him to come over.
The old man jumped off the carriage and walked towards her. He looked her up and down and asked, "Is the city lord okay?"
"It's okay." An Yan told him.
"Thank God, we are finally safe and sound. How did we get better?" the old man asked. He was not sure who saved us and couldn't help but glance at Li Rongsen behind An Yan.
I heard An Yan say, "It was Master Ouyang who came to the rescue. I have to thank him."
The old man was stunned at first, then said, "Okay, okay, let's go back to West City first. I have asked someone to prepare food, and we will have dinner soon. Please get in the carriage first, Lord."
"Why do you prepare so many carriages?" Yan Qingqiu frowned, and then said to An Yan, "Let's take the same carriage for the three of us."
"There are plenty of carriages, why squeeze into one?" An Yan said as she got into a carriage.
