"Eh …"

Her heart leaped, and she steadied herself in his powerful arms.

Lowering their heads, they saw the two of them casting shadows on the surface of the river. A small boat was bobbing along the side of the tall pleasure boat, like a small fish swimming beside a large shark.

He firmly landed on the small boat. The boatman began to shake the oar, causing ripples on the surface. The boat crushed the moonlight, causing ripples on the surface. The song on the cruise liner had begun to twine, and the laughter of the men could be heard.

Yu Yan turned her head and looked, and said softly: "If he can't find me, you have to hold on."

The boatman turned and smiled at the two, then started to chant in a low voice.

"Orchid grass is naturally fragrant, born on the main road. In August and September, in pay. "

"Uncle sang well." Yu Yan smiled and sat down in front of the small table.

There was a small stove on the table, on it was warm wine, and two plates of small fish cooked with vegetable oil.

"Mo Wenli, you really know how to enjoy yourself." Yu Yan beamed even more as she picked up her chopsticks and caught a small piece of fish. She placed it into her mouth and bit down on it, immediately squinting her eyes and shouting, "Delicious!"

In the days before Yulixiao appeared, she would also bring the two girls along and sneak out, climbing mountains and traversing the waters, as free and easy as possible. He had done this before, but he had never dared to play around like this in the night. He was still wary of the great buddha in the palace, afraid that he would be caught unawares and be struck by bad luck.

"You make it sound like the imperial palace doesn't have anything good."

Mo Wenli gracefully brushed his sleeves and then gently lifted his gown. Even his posture when sitting down was graceful.

Yu Yan put down her chopsticks, looked at him for a moment, and shook her head: "Why are you and I not alike at all? Are you more like your father, or am I? "

"You're more like mother."

Mo Wenli glanced at her, slowly rolled up his sleeves, picked up the wine pot on the stove, and poured two cups.

In fact, Mo Wen Li didn't really want to talk about the past. Before he was fourteen, he was a carefree, carefree young master. He didn't need to worry about food or clothing, and just learned a few punches and kicks from his father, so he didn't put in much effort. His mother was a virtuous and virtuous person. She had taught him to read and write since he was young, and his dream had been to open a library. If a student could not recite a poem, he would use the ruler to beat them down.

Her long eyelashes lightly hung down, concealing the faint trace of worry in her eyes.

"Mo Wenli..." Yu Yan looked at him for a while and asked again.

Mo Wenli held up the white porcelain cup and took a sip, interrupting her words.

"Still calling him by his name?"

"No, I want to say that you're called Wen Li, but what's my name?" Yu Yan asked softly.

Mo Wenli looked up and fell silent for a moment.

"Don't ask me, don't ask me about my matters, don't ask me about my troubles, don't ask me about my worries …" "Good name." Yu Yan nodded, laughed, and said softly: "Father will give me the name Yan, I hope that I will be fine with it, and smile sweetly, with the same intention. Even though I wasn't raised by my birth parents, my father was extremely good to me, and you also have fourteen years of parental love. From this point, you and I are better off than Yulixiao. "But he's alone …"

Mo Wenli looked at her for a while, then poured himself a cup of wine and said softly: "You actually love him that much, and think about everything that happens with him."

"I don't know why, but I like it." Yu Yan laughed, and then gracefully raised her wine cup, "Give me another cup."

"You've already drunk some in the day, can you still drink? "One cup is enough." Mo Wenli held onto the wine pot, unwilling to give it to her again.

"One more cup. One more cup will do." Yu Yan leaned forward and asked for his wine. "This is the best yellow wine, it's made from the ancient arts of the people, I like it the most, it's much better than the wine in the Duke's Mansion."

He didn't expect her to be so fast, so he was just about to put the wine pot back on the stove, so he bent his head forward too, and saw Yu Yan's forehead. The impact was quite heavy, causing her to scream in pain as she fell back onto the cushion while covering her forehead.

Mo Wenli was also confused by her strike. After rubbing his forehead for a long while, he reached out his hand and poured half a cup of wine for her.

"Then half a glass."

"Stingy, just a little." Yu Yan raised her wine cup, and with a slight frown, she said, "Mo Wenli, I'll call you Big Brother.

"If I say half a cup, then half a cup." Mo Wenli put down the wine pot. Although his voice was soft, it was firm.

How could Yu Yan be controlled? She extended his hand to grab the flagon, and the chopsticks in Mo Wenli's hand immediately knocked down, striking right at Yu Yan's finger.

She raised her eyes in shock, and when she saw that he was smiling yet not smiling, she was immediately annoyed. Yulixiao did not manage everything properly, but had actually found her another person who was in charge!

Seeing her staring at him, Mo Wenli's eyes flashed, and his finger hooked towards her.

"Come here, let me see if your erythema is smaller now."

"Will it?" As expected, Yu Yan's attention was shifted away as she brought his face closer, gently raising it, allowing to see his own face.

At this close distance, she was breathing heavily. There was no fragrance of makeup on her face, and because of the small stove, there was a bright red blush on her pale muscles. Sweat was oozing out of her small nose.

Mo Wenli's breath immediately tightened, he almost could not hold it in, and almost kissed his.

"Is it really too small? I still feel a tingle. " Yu Yan didn't notice his thoughts as she pointed at her forehead with her finger, feeling a little worried.

Mo Wenli scolded himself in his heart. His finger lightly touched her forehead and he softly said: "It's indeed a little bit small."

"That's good. I hope you can come tomorrow morning and I'll be fine." Yu Yan laughed and sat back down. She did not ask for more wine from him anymore and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the pleasure boat where Yulixiao was.

If she could live well, she could follow him for the rest of her life. If she could, she hoped that her hair would be white.

She knew that this idea was somewhat unrealistic. Since ancient times, heroes loved beauties, and youth and beauty were the things a man like Yulixiao chased after all his life. As for her, to be able to obtain peace and stability in his life and to have 70% of his love, she would probably be perfect.

After hesitating for a while, she pressed a hand to her lips and asked Mo Wenli in a small voice, "I heard that you cultivated some kind of secret manual and consumed some kind of medicine to increase your power, so you couldn't use the human way … Is that true? "

The corner of Mo Wenli's eyes twitched as he looked at her.

"If... If there really is such a thing, can you give me the secret medicine? " Yu Yan asked again.

"What do you want this for?" Mo Wenli asked in shock.

"Keep it, it's useful." Yu Yan laughed.

Mo Wenli turned his head to look at the cruise liner. After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Could it be that it's because his request is too harsh every day? You can't handle him, so you want to cripple him? "

After speaking, the two of them looked at each other for a moment before turning their faces away, their faces burning with anger.

Yu Yan's face and ears flushed red, her heart thumping, she angrily grabbed the small fish in the plate and threw it fiercely at his face, asking in anger: "Do you look like an elder brother? How can you ask me such embarrassing words? "

That plate of delicious, fresh, and small fish, with chili powder that still had traces of oil on it, was thrown all over Mo Wenli's face.

He raised his sleeves and gracefully wiped away the small fish and chilli peppers on his face. He bitterly smiled without saying a word, and his mind began to restlessly dream about tangling with her … If it was him, could she withstand it?

Mo Wenli's hand that was hidden in his sleeves fiercely twisted on his leg, pushing away the distracting thoughts that were running through his mind. Beast, they actually thought of Yu Yan like that …

Finally, he comforted himself. Could it be because he had chosen the mental cultivation method for her and practiced too many feminine things in advance, causing his yin and yang to be out of whim?

Looking up at Yu Yan, she picked up a small fish from the side of the table. After hesitating for a moment, she placed it in her mouth and chewed, then said softly: "This is truly a good item."

She was bent over like this, with her collar slightly down, and her skin under her neck was covered with moonlight, making her look beautiful and charming.

Mo Wenli's nose was very itchy, then very hot, then following that, a fishy and salty nosebleed landed on his lips.

No, he had to find a pretty girl tonight …

"Ya, you're bleeding from your nose." Yu Yan looked up and shouted in shock.

The boatman turned his head to take a look and then looked down at his feet. He slapped his forehead and loudly said:

"Sorry, customer, I took the wrong wine, I added something into your pot."

Mo Wenli pinched his nose, raised his head and looked at him, and angrily said: "What did you add?"

"Fresh deer blood." The boatman smiled innocently.

Suddenly, the sound of water splashing could be heard.

Yu Yan wiped his face, only to see that Mo Wenli had already disappeared, and once again looked down into the water. Mo Wenli was submerged in the water, facing the river, his handsome face became sinister and fierce.

"Old boatman, what do you drink from deer blood at your age?"

"You're a young man, strong and vigorous. Of course you can't take it anymore. Forget it, this pot is for me to treat the servants." The boatman chuckled, obviously treating the two of them as lovers of a love affair.

Yu Yan finally understood what she meant and her face blushed even harder. She took the alcohol off the stove. If she used the heat of the fire on such a dry thing, wouldn't that increase the intensity of the fire?

On the cruise liner, Yulixiao was standing at the window and looking at the small boat in the middle of the river. At this moment, Yu Yan and Mo Wenli were on the boat, drinking wine and playing with each other.

The boat was far away, far from the beautiful pleasure boat, drifting towards the quiet of the opposite shore. Hundreds of lanterns were floating down the river.

Mo Wenli had talked to him in the afternoon, and there wasn't a single word that could leak out. However, he only insisted on one thing, and that was that he hoped even more than Yulixiao that Yu Yan could live well.

He was almost certain that the youth Bai Chengan spoke of that day, was precisely Mo Wenli. Mo Wenli was the son of the bodyguard, and his current achievements were all due to more than ten years of hard training. However, for the three generations of the Mo Clan, there was only one son, Mo Wenli, who was probably picked up in the forest the day he escaped.

Such a fortuitous encounter, could also be considered to be a father and a friend — Thinking about these words, Yulixiao furrowed his brows. If he was truly good to Yu Yan and was also Yu Yan's savior, then he would be willing to accept this brother-in-law, at least it would be better than when Yu Tianqi and the rest had plans to kill Mo Wenli.

The curtain made from beautiful jade and pearls lightly knocked and heavy footsteps came in as Nie Shuangcheng's voice came out.

"Master, we found a merchant with Tianmo Kingdom."

He turned his head and saw three figures behind the screen. Two of them were craning their necks to look behind the screen, but when they saw him turn around, they quickly cupped their fists in salute.

This is a guest from another pleasure boat, a peddler from the Tian Mo Country who specializes in selling furs and furs. He is also a person who has seen much of the world.

"How's your stock?" He walked to the rosewood chair and sat down.

One of them raised his eyes and said with a smile, "In reply to my lord, the fox skin in our Golden Fox Workshop is the best. In response to my lord's words, the fox skin in our Golden Fox Workshop is the best.

Even Yulixiao did not know about this! He frowned as he knew that the merchant was very talkative. In order to sell the goods at a good price, it was normal for him to place a gold-plated powder.

"I heard that in the Cloud Mountain of the Heavenly Desert, there is a black panther. It's very hard to catch and its fur is especially good. I want this one." Yulixiao said.

After a moment of silence, the man spoke again, "My Lord, the black panther on the Cloud Mountain is no longer there. It's long gone."

Yulixiao raised his long eyebrows, knocked on the armrest of the chair a few times with his fingers, and maintained a steady pace.

Why did I hear from a friend of mine that a few days ago, he bought a piece of Black Leopard skin. It's very luxurious, find me a piece like this.

The two of them conversed with each other in the Tian Mo language for a while, before smiling and asking Yulixiao.

"May I ask where your friend bought the leopard skin?"

Yulixiao looked at Nie Shuangcheng, who handed over a piece of paper. The words on the paper were copied from the letter in the ink stone.

The two of them looked at it for a long time, and then one of them suspiciously said, "This is the word An Xi, are there still people from the An Xi doing business here? Back then, when Duke Han killed the An Xi Clan, he had once said that he wouldn't leave a single An Xi Ghost, and he would make sure that not even a single blade of grass would grow on his An Xi, never to return to his soul. Master, where is that person now? "

"What are those words?" Nie Shuangcheng asked.

The two of them looked at each other, vaguely guessing what was going on. They quickly kneeled down and said, "Lord, please don't make things difficult for us. This cannot be said."

"Speak, each word is worth a thousand gold." Yulixiao asked.

"These three words have no meaning to be independent, the lord will only give us half of it, right?" That person hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the huge sum of money.

Yulixiao nodded, then walked forward and showed the complete note to the two.

The two of them looked at it and their faces changed. They quickly shook their heads and said, "I don't understand."

"I've already seen it. If I don't say it, I won't be able to get out." Nie Shuangcheng threatened with a dark face.

"Master, this is for the death of my head …" This is a poison called 'thinking without evil' that is sent to the palace to poison the Emperor. "

Yulixiao stood up, went around the screen, and stared at the two of them for a while before saying: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, but the An Xi people disappeared more than ten years ago. Could it be that there are still living people?" The man trembled and muttered hesitantly.

Yulixiao frowned. Not only was this person alive, he was also alive in the palace and had participated in the poison killing of the late emperor.

When the late emperor died, he was recovering from his injuries at the bottom of the cliff. Bai Chengan also did not see the late emperor go, as the current situation was completely under the control of Empress Dowager Fu. The Zhao Taizhu was helping him from the side, so Fang Mo Yan should have been used to pass on the information and poison.

Could it be that Yu Chaoge had discovered something and detained Mo Yan and the person who had contributed Mo Yan, leading to the empress dowager's retaliation?

No, it wouldn't be that complicated. If Empress Dowager Fu wanted to kill the late emperor, she wouldn't have to worry about the poison and methods … Why would she use An Xi to make Fang Mo Yan do that? Could it be that the people from the palace wanted to spread the news and kill the emperor of Tianmo Kingdom?

He lifted his hand to the yellowed note and carefully recalled the familiar or unfamiliar faces of the palace.

In the depths of the imperial palace, no one could truly see through the sea. No matter how honorable a person was, they would have to struggle and swim upwards. Otherwise, there would only be one outcome, and that would be a deep sea that they would not be able to turn over.

"Eat this. If you dare to reveal even half a word of what happened today, you will definitely die from blood loss."

Nie Shuangcheng took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured out two pills and stuffed them into their mouths.

They thought that they could come here to do business, but they didn't want to lose their lives.

"Go to their shop and pick out the best ones. Pay them double the price." Yulixiao instructed again.

"Yes." Nie Shuangcheng knew that they were here to buy clothes for Yu Yan and immediately brought the two of them out.

Yulixiao paced back and forth in the hall a few times, and then turned to look outside the pleasure boat.

The small boat was circling in the river, circling around and around … Yulixiao's eyes darkened, he immediately walked out of the hall, with two big and vigorous steps, he went over the side of the boat, his body flying forward a few metres, then landed on the lanterns the people had placed on the river, and jumped up again.

The lanterns were overturned by his kick. The candles were extinguished in the river water, and he stepped on these lanterns one by one as he arrived beside the small boat.
