Falling Rain Lane in Qingzhou City was always so bustling. Countless peddlers shuttled through this small street that was not too wide, and the sounds of peddlers hawking filled their ears along the way.

Last night, it should have rained a little. The tree that was hidden in the sky above Falling Rain Lane was a pine tree with drooping branches and leaves. The rain from last night stained the tree with droplets of water that were scattered across the street by the wind.

Jiang Youyu was in a good mood. Although she had been chased out of the palace by that princess, the benefits were that she did not need to care about others' reputation anymore. Jiang Youyu was someone who cared about face. Even he, young master Jiang, was close to that Ning Zhizun. A girl like this really didn't enter his eyes.

On the streets of Falling Rain Lane, there were some young ladies of large families with umbrellas, pretending to be delicate and gentle. Of course, most of them still didn't care about the occasional rain.

Obviously, Jiang Youyu was the only one who didn't care. Of course, perhaps this attention was mostly focused on the overnight rain that was falling from the branches from time to time. After all, compared to those beautiful women on the streets with umbrellas and half covered by the mist, why would he care about the slightly wet hair?

Jiang You Yu's thin eyes sized up the beauties on the streets. Not far away, in the Rainfall Tower, there were also people looking at the Jiang You Yu in the distance.

"Is that the river with fish? Ning Ziqing's husband? " The Rainfall Pavilion was without a doubt the best restaurant in the entire Rainfall Lane. The pavilion hung by the side of the street, with customers entering and exiting from it from time to time.

"I can't see anything out of the ordinary. I wonder how Ning Ziqing, who even Young Master Liang rejected, fancied someone like him." These people clearly had some status and status. They looked at the youth sitting in front of them and spoke with doubt.

"What is the origin of this river?" The young man opposite him asked as he turned his gaze away from Jiang Youyu.

"They've already sent people to investigate."

"Seriously..."

In the end, no words came out of their mouths. However, the lonely expressions on their faces didn't look good.

The two of them were the descendants of the famous Prominent Class families in the Cyan Plains. They had learned by themselves, and their appearances were first-rate in the Cyan Plains. Even so, they did not have any presumptuous thoughts towards Ning Ziqing, who stood at the peak of the Cyan Plains.

For some people, simply standing there was sufficient to make others feel ashamed of their status.

These words were the words that all the heroes of the Azure Province agreed with in their hearts. In the eyes of all the heroes of the Azure Province, Ning Ziqing was like a gem that could not be desecrated. However, the appearance of the fish in the river made the hearts of the Qing Province's elites feel extremely uncomfortable. It was as if they had eaten feces.

It was likely that none of the prodigies of Qingzhou could accept that the perfect existence in their hearts was suddenly tainted by a pile of cow dung.

This was the first time that Jiang You and Yu Di had truly appeared in Qingzhou, so none of the talented families stepped on them. To be able to climb up to the Abyss King's Mansion and become Princess Ning's husband, if one said that there was no overflowing power behind it, then it would mean that these Qingzhou geniuses would not believe it.

There was a fish riding on a horse as the crowd slowly entered Falling Rain Lane. There was a haughty look on his face and his back was ramrod straight.

As the new head of Three Rivers Escort Office, he should at least show his face in front of the whole of Qingzhou. Jiang Youyu had already asked around from Ma Laiyun. The Three River Escort Office was the largest escort office in Qingzhou. It was said that there were nearly a hundred people, and each of them was worth one against ten.

As the leader of the Three River Escorts in the future, he naturally couldn't lose out to them.

"Young Master, let's hurry to the escort office." Lai Laiyun could only feel his legs trembling. The chamber pot on his back was also a thousand jin in weight. They had already followed Jiang Youyu to Green Sky Alley. With the gathering of fire and beacons, they had circled almost half of the entire Cyan Plains City. And at this time, it was obvious that Jiang Youyu, who was sitting on the horse, still had a trace of interest. He was preparing to pass through Falling Rain Lane and continue on his way to the Full Moon Bridge.

"What are you being anxious for? This is the first official appearance of my, Jiang You, from Qingzhou City. How could I just give up halfway?" "I must let everyone in Qingzhou know that I, Escort Leader Jiang, am such a talented person." There was always a beginning and an end to everything that Jiang Youyu did. She had to walk through every street in the Azure Province to see every scene in the Azure Province.

Ma Laiyun had a sullen look on his face. Looking at the resolute expression on Jiang Youyu's face, Ma Laiyun's face revealed a look of wanting to die. Remembering the Three River Escort Office that he had depicted in front of Jiang Youyu, Ma Laiyun's heart trembled.

In the end, Jiang Youyu rode out of Falling Rain Lane and headed for the Full Moon Bridge.

And with Jiang Youyu's high-profile appearance, almost all of the big and small forces in the Azure Province knew that Jiang Youyu was such a person.

On the south side of Qingzhou City, beside the Qi River, there were the occasional meows of cats coming from a tall courtyard. The gate to the courtyard was wide open, and a few fat mice ran out with their stomachs open.

Other than that, there was not a single sound. Several lanterns were lit in the yard, and a dozen middle-aged men were standing in the yard. The one in the lead was a man who looked to be around forty to fifty years old. The atmosphere in the arena was somewhat stifling. Even the breathing of the dozen or so people had become much gentler at this moment.

It was already dark outside. Jiang Youyu was panting heavily on a small red horse as she arrived at the entrance of the Sanjiang Escort Office. Then, with a strange expression, he looked at the entrance of the famous Three River Escort Office in Qingzhou. On the door, a signboard was hung at an angle from high to low.

The lanterns on both sides of the entrance were already broken and were extremely transparent. As the wind blew gently, the faces of the Three River Escorts became even more desolate.

"This is my Three Rivers Escort Office?" Jiang Youzi looked at Ma Laiyun with her head bowed. There was a hint of encouragement in her eyes. Encouraging Malay is a great way to say, 'This is not the case.'

Ma Lai shrunk his body and put down the chamber pot on his back. With a fawning expression on his face, he looked at Jiang Youyu.

"This... This Young Master, I have no other choice. Miss Nian Xia has said that if I dare to say half a word, I will not need to enter this Azure Continent in this lifetime. " Lai Laiyun's heart was filled with grief. He was also very desperate, but he had no idea what to do.

"You …" Jiang Youyu didn't know what to say. She looked at the ruined escort company before looking at the miserable expression on Lai Lai. She sighed in her heart. He had offended someone, how could he get himself a wife like this?

"Oh right, Miss Xiang Xia also said that in the future, if Young Master has nothing better to do, you shouldn't come to the Prince's Mansion. She said that Young Master and Young Miss haven't gotten married yet. It's not good to always stick together." Laiyun almost didn't dare to look at Jiang You Yu's face. He quickly finished what he wanted to say and took the chamber pot into the escort office.

Jiang Youyu and Old Gu exchanged glances. They didn't know how to react to the Three River Escort Office in front of them. He then looked at Ma Laiyun, who had entered the courtyard. He had already gotten close to the middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, and pointed at Jiang Youyu. He seemed to be talking about something.

"I am Chen Yue, temporarily adding you as the manager of the Three River Escort Office. Greetings, young master." After Ma Laiyun finished speaking, the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard cupped his fists towards Jiang Youyu from afar with a cold expression. The tone of his voice was rather cold. He, Chen Yue, had been in the Prince's Mansion for more than ten years. First, he joined the army, and after sustaining his injuries, he was placed next to the Three Rivers Escort Office. After spending so many years and finally becoming the head of the escort company, he had no idea that a head of the escort company had appeared.

Jiang Youyu did not care about the middle-aged man's tone at all. After entering the yard with Old Gu, he looked around at the dozens of bodyguards in the courtyard before replying, "My apologies, my apologies for making you all wait for a long time. It's already getting late on the way, so everyone should leave soon. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, Jiang You Yu's face didn't show any signs of apology, but the ten or so escort guards in the courtyard glanced at Chen Yue and nodded their heads. At most, they just cupped their fists towards Jiang You Yu and walked out of the courtyard one by one.

"Then Young Master can stay in the escort office here for now. If you need anything, you can ask Steward Ma to look for me. I'll go take a rest first." Although Chen Yue didn't like having fish in the river, he still had to say these words.

Jiang Youyu smiled and nodded at Chen Yue. After watching Chen Yue leave, he turned his gaze towards the smiling Ma Lai Yun.

"Did he live in the escort office? "He didn't say anything?" Ning Ziqing was writing a letter. The pen in his hand was on the Xuan paper, waiting for Nian Xia's reply.

"I didn't say much. Leaving Ma Laiyun to clean the house, I then dragged that old Gu to a small tavern near the river." Nian Xia helped Ning Ziqing grind ink as he replied.

"Hmm, what about Chen Yue?" Ning Ziqing looked at the letter in his hand. The tone of his question was still as indifferent as before.

"I guess he's feeling a bit uncomfortable. I heard that he has a bit of a cold attitude towards Young Master." Nian Xia replied with a few words. When he saw that Ning Ziqing was frowning and deep in thought, his thoughts became complicated as well. However, there were some things that he could not say with his identity as a master and servant.

"Continue to let people follow him for two days. If he really does stay there, remember to buy some food and send it over every month." Ning Ziqing once again put down his brush, and then silently wrote a beautiful handwriting on the xuan paper. The letter was written extremely slowly, as if the contents of the letter were extremely carefully considered, and one could faintly see the three words that were occasionally written by Jiang Youyu.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Nian Xia stopped grinding the ink and looked at his young miss. In the end, he could not hold back his words. It was a sudden question, but she felt that what her young miss was doing was a bit out of line.

Ning Ziqing kept the pen and carefully examined the contents of the letter. After about two to three breaths, he said, "It's always better to know to retreat when things are difficult. It might be a little too much, but I am just a … "Women."

Because she was a woman, she could do whatever she wanted as long as she could get the answer she wanted. As for whether this was a good thing or not, why would a girl like her care?

At the end, he changed his tone, and there was something else in it.

While Ning Ziqing was listening to Nian Xia talk about Jiang You Yu, on the other side of Qingzhou City, there was a similarly large courtyard. A young man was holding a cup of tea, looking at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Ning Ziqing left that Jiang You Yu at the Three Rivers Escort Office? "I remember that the Three Rivers Escort Office probably does not have many people left. I was not able to figure out Ning Xie Qing's actions." The youth's voice was filled with surprise and suspicion as he stared at the middle-aged man, waiting for his answer.

"I think it's just some random arrangements. I heard that Yu Di had locked up Ning Ziqing's Xue Yu with his bastard horse, so I'm guessing that Ning Ziqing is also angry. He can only kick Yu Di into that half-dead Three River Escort Office." After a moment of thought, the middle-aged man could only come to this conclusion.

"Did you find out the identity of this Jiang You Yu?" The young man didn't linger too much on this topic. He sipped a mouthful of tea and asked the middle-aged man.

"Not yet. We've already sent people to investigate, but it will probably take some time." The middle-aged man frowned. He had already used a lot of connections to investigate Jiang You Yu's identity. However, what was infuriating was that Jiang You Yu's identity seemed to be hidden in a mist, causing people to not know what to do with him.

It was as if this Jiang You Yu had appeared out of nowhere. There were no clues regarding Jiang You Yu's past.

"This has to be done as soon as possible. I don't want anything unexpected to happen." The young man narrowed his eyes and waved his hands, instructing the middle-aged man to step down.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man responded, then bowed and left. The only person left in the courtyard was a young man who had repeated the words' River Fish '.

At this moment, Jiang Youyu, who had been the focus of attention for the entire Qingzhou area, was completely drunk. He was supported by Old Gu as he walked towards the Three River Escort Office.

"Ah, Young Master, you can't drink like this anymore. This body hasn't been treated well yet. If he drinks like this again, then I'll have to trouble old man Fei again. " It wasn't as if he drank less than the river and the fish. Old Gu's eyes were clear. Although he was staggering, his words were still warm.

"Old man Fei has a lot of free time. I have to find him something to do." You said that even though the old man is old, his body is tougher than mine. Besides, my sister is crazy and can't be cured, so you shouldn't expect her to have any other ailments. I'm the only one left, right? "Young master, I'm warm-hearted and can't bear to see old man Fei free time." It was unknown whether Jiang Youyu was drunk or not, but his words were intermittent, but the logic behind them made sense.

"Did you get bribed by the old man? Old Gu, you just touched your conscience and said, "Which one of us is better to you?" Also, who risked their lives to enter your three thousand books and steal their secret manuals one after another? Besides, didn't I give you a lot of face along the way? That sabre-wielding teenager, remember, you said there was your shadow back then. Did I let him go, and even gave him the that brat. Now that you've said that to me, don't you feel any pain in your conscience? " Jiang Youyu stood up straight and looked at Old Gu with a hidden bitterness in her eyes.

"This... Old Gu tried his best to organize his words to make himself feel more embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything after organizing his thoughts for half a day.

"Also, Old Gu, why do you always advise me to drink less after drinking?" Jiang Youyu held Old Gu by the back and stared at him.

Old Gu smiled and rubbed his hands together, a hint of bashfulness appearing on his face.

"I don't have the money to drink this, hehe."

Laiyun was indeed a good worker. When it was almost midnight, Jiang Youyu carried Old Gu into the courtyard. The room where Jiang Youzi lived had already been cleaned up.

Jiang Youyu praised him for a few times, but then her body tilted to the side and she fell asleep right away.

Old Gu naturally didn't have the treatment of having a fish in the river. He found a random gatekeeper, but was too lazy to take care of it. He took out a knife, a box, and a pillow.

It would be hard for him to get the horses to come and go. He could only find an empty room that looked pretty good while yawning, and after roughly cleaning it up, he went in to sleep.
