The boat went down the river and traveled for a day.

Xie Ni discovered something interesting. He was standing on the deck looking at the scenery, and the little girl was reading in the cabin. When he returned to the cabin to handle official duties, she looked around to make sure he was not on the deck, then she would come out and stand where he was. There, he looked at the distant scenery with a leisurely expression.

Even when eating, she tried to avoid him, claiming she was seasick and asking her servants to take her to her room.

How could he not know that the little girl was deliberately avoiding him!

What did she discover?

He wanted to laugh a little, look, he didn't say anything yet, so she wished she could find a turtle shell to hide in.

In fact, they are the same kind of people. After being hurt, they both like to stay alone, seal their hearts in ice, and don't allow anyone to get close to them.

The boat has stopped at the place he arranged in advance.

Here, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, except for the lights on their boat, the surroundings are pitch black, even if they use their hands, they will not hurt innocent people.

At this moment, there was a drizzle outside, and a layer of mist formed on the surface of the lake, which was hazy, giving people an unreal feeling.

Xie Ni put down the brush in his hand and looked outside.

In the misty rain, she held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her back was cold, she didn't know what she was looking at.

"Are you worried?" Gu Nanzhi was fascinated, and she didn't come back to her senses until Xie Ni's voice came from behind her.

She looked back at Xie Ni, he was dressed in white, with fluttering sleeves, and his figure was tall and straight, she asked without answering, "Are you worried, sir?"

Xie Ni shook his head, "I never do things that I'm not sure about."

If he hadn't been fully prepared, how could he have put her in danger!

"Sir, I have a merciless request." This time Gu Nanzhi no longer avoided him, she met his gaze directly.

Xie Ni, "Oh? Miss Gu, but it's okay."

There was a touch of pampering hidden in his eyes, she wanted the stars in the sky, but he would never pick the moon for her.

Gu Nanzhi said, "I don't want a penny of the 30 taels of gold. My lord is an official in the court, and I need to manage everywhere. There are many places to use silver. Please keep the money!"

Listening to her words, Xie Ni chuckled softly: "Miss Gu believes in me so much. If the prince plays a dirty trick, the 30 taels of gold will be in vain in the end!"

Gu Nanzhi looked serious, and she said word by word, with a very soft voice, "I believe in you."

Xie Ni put his hands behind his back, his eyes suddenly became dark, and his voice became a little hoarse, "Miss Gu believes in me."

He did not promise the 30 taels of gold.

That was the compensation he asked for for her, and no one could get involved except her.

"My lord, Xiao Yi has brought people ten miles away. He has brought a total of 3 people on this trip, and there are [-] archers alone. Half of them are lying in ambush under the water, and most people are lying in ambush on the mountain. We'll catch them all." At that moment, Yinfeng came to report.

Like father, like son, Xie Ni is not surprised at all. The hypocrisy of the prince and the emperor are in the same line. The most ridiculous thing is that he has done all the evil things, but he insists on putting on a kind face.

"There are still ten miles! There is still a cup of tea, they should be there, let's go, let's go back to the cabin and wait for a while." He glanced at Gu Nanzhi, and seeing her pursing her lips tightly, he knew that she was still afraid.

Gu Nanzhi walked a little prettily, followed behind him, and entered the cabin together.

"Come and have a cup of tea." Xie Ni motioned her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"I wonder how many people my lord brought with me?" Gu Nanzhi didn't expect that the crown prince would send 3 people, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Xie Ni curled his lips into a smile, and said truthfully, "The total is less than five hundred."

Gu Nanzhi: "..."

Her long crow feathers trembled slightly.

Is there any chance of winning with 500 people against 3 people?

"My lord, hide these for self-defense." She kept a bottle of poison hidden in her sleeve for herself, took out the rest, and pushed it in front of Xie Ni.

Xie Ni lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful, "More than these, I want a piece of Hui ink made by Miss Gu herself."

Gu Nanzhi was taken aback, wondering why he wanted a piece of Hui ink, no matter how good she was, she couldn't compare to those famous artists.

Xie Ni sighed softly, "I like the aroma of sandalwood."

No wonder he always has a woody fragrance on his body, so that's the case, thinking of all the things he has done for her, how could Gu Nanzhi not respond to such a small request, "Okay, I will make it for you when I return to Beijing."

Xie Ni glanced at her lightly, "I still want to engrave my name on the side."

Gu Nanzhi said, "Okay, it's all my lord."

Only then did Xie Ni curl his lips in satisfaction, he had to have what others had, and he couldn't be worse than others at all.

After a cup of tea.

Another boat came through the water, a few meters away, Xiao Yi's voice sounded, "The 30 taels of gold you want is here, hand over Miss Gu."

Gu Nanzhi's eyes flashed, and she immediately looked at Xie Ni.

"You wait inside." Seeing Xie Ni get up slowly, he flicked his sleeves, not even covering his face, and was about to go out grandly.

Gu Nanzhi was so frightened that he grabbed his sleeve and said, "Sir, are you going to go out like this? Who is an official in the court and doesn't recognize your face!"

Seeing how much she cared about him, Xie Ni smiled a little, "What's wrong with that? If you feel bored inside, you can go outside with me."

Gu Nanzhi tugged on his sleeve, refusing to let go, she said eagerly: "My lord, the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace must know you, once you go out like this, they will recognize you, and then you will enter the palace to assassinate Your Majesty's affairs can no longer be concealed."

"Just recognize her if you recognize her! It doesn't matter." Xie Ni patted the back of her hand gently, "If you are tired, just rest inside and you'll be fine."

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, so Gu Nanzhi has no intention of resting, she followed Xie Ni out of the cabin together.

"Where's the 30 taels of gold? I've never seen so much gold before, so I just opened my eyes today." With one hand behind his back, Xie Ni walked calmly and acted recklessly, just appearing aboveboard in front of everyone.

"Bold Assassin..." Xiao Yi had a murderous look on his face, he opened his mouth and was about to reprimand, looking at the slender white figure in the misty rain, the rest of his words were stuck in his throat, he was so startled that he almost fell off the boat, "Shou, Master Shoufu, why are you here? Did you save Miss Gu?"
