On a huge merchant ship in the Chishui River, a man and a woman were leaning on the railing along the ship's edge.
Looking at the calm lake and the beautiful scenery on both sides, the woman said: "This is the first time I have been so leisurely!"
"The more I look at the beauty of these mountains and rivers, the more I feel insignificant!" The man raised his head, his eyes like lightning, wanting to take in all the mountains and rivers in his palms.
The two people were Wu Hu and Li Qingyi. This matter was of great importance. After leaving Maple City, Li Qingyi hid his whereabouts and went on the road alone with Wu Hu without even taking Xi'er with him.
Li Qingyi looked at Wu Hu's confident eyes and couldn't help but look sideways.
Although Wu Hu was born as a domestic slave in the Li family, his ambitions were lofty, and even he was not as good as him.
"The destination of this trip is Chishui Ridge. At the current speed, we can get there in about five days."
Li Qingyi calculated the time. If he didn't take the water route, he would have to take a long detour and it would be tiring. It would not be as easy as taking a boat.
"It's so far away, how did you find it in the first place?"
Wu Hu was a little surprised, knowing that they had been out for six days.
"I got a map of that cave in my early years. I looked for it with the intention of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to be true."
This is Li Qingyi's great opportunity. Although she is the daughter of the head of the Li family, she is still a girl.
In an established family like the Li family, they are destined not to enjoy the top resources and cannot compare with her brother and Li Ming.
But because of this opportunity, she has the confidence to not lose to anyone.
Li Qingyi has his own ambitions. He is not willing to be the young lady of the Li family and become a tool for family marriage in the future.
Wu Hu noticed Li Qingyi's ambition, but he didn't care. He could benefit from it anyway, so he didn't ask any further.
The two hid their identities and were just ordinary people traveling on a merchant ship.
In the evening, Wu Hu discovered that he had arrived at Four Seasons City.
Wu Hu had long known that he would pass through Four Seasons City, but he had no intention of visiting Mrs. Yuhua.
After all, they have to follow the merchant ships and will not stay in Four Seasons City for long.
After arriving at Four Seasons City, as soon as the merchant ship docked, Li Qingyi found Wu Hu with an ugly expression on his face.
"Can't leave!" Li Qingyi said with some annoyance.
"What's going on?" Wu Hu couldn't help but frowned, why was it so sudden?
"I heard that there are monsters causing trouble in the Chishui River Basin near Four Seasons City, so ships are not allowed to travel for the time being!" Li Qingyi explained that there was nothing that could be done about it.
A large river like Chishui River can easily gather monsters, and once it breaks out, it will be a waste of time to deal with it.
"What should we do? A detour?" Wu Hu accompanied Li Qingyi on this trip, so naturally he wanted to listen to Li Qingyi's opinion first.
"If we can borrow a warship from Four Seasons City, we can pass through this dangerous area. It will be much more convenient to find a ship then, but I don't want to reveal my identity."
Li Qingyi sighed and said, there is not much contact between Siji City and the Li family. Even if your identity is revealed, the other party may not give you face.
"This way I can think of a solution!" Wu Hu said. He has a close relationship with Mrs. Yuhua, and the Lord of Four Seasons City also favors him. He will definitely be able to borrow a warship.
"Um?"
Li Qingyi looked at Wu Hu with some surprise. She did not expect that Wu Hu had such connections.
"Do you know anyone in Four Seasons City?" Li Qingyi asked.
"Yes, we met when we were at Black Cloud Castle." Wu Hu nodded and said.
"Then give it a try. The detour is too far!" Li Qingyi said. There were many foreign caravans in Black Cloud Castle, including those from Four Seasons City. She thought Wu Hu was looking for these people.
However, the energy of caravans varies, and it is not easy to borrow a warship. Let Wu Hu try.
As for taking a detour, it is a last resort. Because there are many mountain roads, it is really torture.
Because the merchant ship was going to dock at Four Seasons City, Wu Hu and Li Qingyi took their luggage and got off the ship.
The two of them found an inn in the city to rest, and then Wu Hu found Mrs. Yuhua. When she learned that Wu Hu was coming, Mrs. Yuhua was very happy and asked Wu Hu to be invited to her house.
Wu Hu then led Li Qingyi over. Seeing Wu Hu actually bringing a beautiful girl over, Mrs. Yuhua was stunned for a moment, and then recovered.
There was just something wrong with the look in Li Qingyi's eyes, and there was a hint of hostility. Even Mrs. Yuhua herself didn't notice this change in herself.
"Wu Hu, I haven't seen you for a while. Where did you find such a beautiful girl to keep you company?" Mrs. Yuhua asked with a smile, but her eyes never left Li Qingyi.
"This is my friend. I came out this time to accompany her to Chishui Ridge." Wu Hu smiled and did not explain much. After all, Li Qingyi did not want to reveal his identity.
Mrs. Yanhua glanced at Li Qingyi thoughtfully, then withdrew her gaze, looked at Wu Hu and said: "There is still a long way from here to Chishui Ridge. Now there are monsters making trouble in Chishui River. My father has already gone down there. Order, no ships will be allowed to pass by for the time being."
Hearing Mrs. Yuhua's words, Li Qingyi couldn't help but be startled, and immediately guessed Mrs. Yuhua's identity, the daughter of the lord of Four Seasons City.
She looked at Wu Hu with some surprise. She really didn't expect that the person Wu Hu knew was actually the daughter of the lord of Four Seasons City.
In this way, the possibility of borrowing warships will be greatly increased.
"That's why I came here. If we can't take the waterway, we have to take a long detour!" Wu Hu was very honest and directly explained his purpose.
"Do you want to borrow a warship?" Mrs. Yuhua was very smart and immediately guessed Wu Hu's intention.
Now the Chishui River Four Seasons City basin has been blocked, and only warships can travel.
If Wu Hu wants to cross this area, he must borrow a warship.
"Yeah!" Wu Hu nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you to see my father. He must agree to this." Since it was Wu Hu who spoke, Mrs. Yuhua naturally wanted to help.
Then Mrs. Yuhua had someone prepare a carriage. The three of them rode in the same carriage. Wu Hu was sitting in the middle. He always felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was very strange.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the intimate behavior between Mrs. Yuhua and Wu Hu.
"It seems that the relationship between Wu Hu and this woman is unusual!" Li Qingyi didn't know why, but he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.
However, this woman is mature and charming, and indeed has a strong attraction to men.
Even though they are both women, Li Qingyi has to admit the powerful charm of Mrs. Yuhua.
As for Mrs. Yuhua, she is also observing Li Qingyi. She feels that Li Qingyi has an extraordinary temperament, outstanding appearance, and must have an unusual background.
"I don't know why Wu Hu is accompanying her, but judging from Wu Hu's attitude towards her, it seems like they are just ordinary friends!"
The two women had their own thoughts and arrived at the city lord's mansion unknowingly.
