After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Yan Mobai frowned slightly.

"You know King Kang. If it's not him, then it should be... compared to my height, how about that?"

"Shorter than you, and looks like he's slightly taller than His Royal Highness Prince Ning." Ning Miao replied seriously.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes: "That should be Prince An."

Then he nodded again: "Well, if it was him, then those people would not have come in vain. He likes to be in the limelight."

Ning Miao said nothing, silently picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Why didn't you take the water route?" Yan Mobai asked.

Ning Miao replied quickly: "I don't dare to go, for fear that you will say that we are taking the same path taken by the unparalleled number one scholar."

Yan Mobai: "......"

Seeing that he was speechless, Ning Miao smiled.

"Going by water is too slow. I'm in a hurry to catch up with you. We took a shortcut, otherwise we wouldn't be able to catch up with you."

Yan Mobai lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the tea in the cup in front of him.

After a moment, he looked up and asked her, "Which inn are you staying in?"

Ning Miao curved her eyebrows, put her hands on the table, leaned closer to him, her watery eyes sparkling with spring under her long black eyelashes.

"Why? Will you come to see me at night?"

Yan Mobai glanced at her, expressionless, picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "Isn't your Yan Lang here?"

"I'm sharing a room with Chunlan, and he's sharing a room with Dingyi."

After saying that, Ning Miao withdrew his body, sat up straight, and continued: "I was joking with you. I know you have official business to attend to, and it's a secret trip. I know my limits and won't disturb you."

"Can the miracle doctor in Jiangnan cure Yan Changjing?" Yan Mobai asked.

Ning Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded: "I heard from him that it is possible. He said that several eunuchs who left the palace grew back after being treated by that miracle doctor in two or three years, and they all got married and had children normally."

Yan Mobai sneered, not hiding his contempt.

Ning Miao didn't care.

I turned my head to look at the sky outside the window.

"It's getting dark. Your brother and I have an appointment to go to the night market in Yanbo Town tonight. He should be looking for me everywhere. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she stood up, picked up the veil on the table, put it on her face, and walked quickly towards the door.

Yan Mobai said nothing and drank his tea in silence.

It wasn't until she opened the door and left and the sound of her footsteps faded away that he turned back to look at the door.

He withdrew his gaze and sat alone for a long time before getting up.

-

Yanbo Town is a fairly wealthy town, famous for its rich nightlife. Here, business at night is even better than during the day.

Night markets are set up on both sides of the river, with bright lights and bustling crowds of people. The sounds of hawking, shouting, and string music are endless, making it very lively.

Ning Miao and Yan Changjing walked in front, Chunlan and Ding Yi followed behind, weaving in and out of the bustling crowd.

"Yanlang, let's go to the bridge and take a look." Ning Miao pointed to a stone arch bridge connecting the two sides of the river not far away.

Standing on the bridge, you can see a wide view of both sides of the river.

The four of them followed the crowd up the bluestone steps onto the bridge. Suddenly, Yan Changjing beside them exclaimed, "Ah, second brother!"

Ning Miao followed his gaze and saw a figure in a black robe that was particularly eye-catching among the crowd walking towards them from the other side of the bridge.

With an upright posture, extraordinary temperament, handsome face, and cold and elegant appearance, he walks among a group of people as if he is a natural king, automatically turning others into his foil.

It was Yan Mobai.

"Is it my second brother?" Yan Changjing asked Ning Miao excitedly, somewhat unbelievably.

Ning Miao nodded: "Yes, it's him."

Yan Mobai also saw them, his eyes deep.

The two parties met in the middle of the bridge.

It was also at this time that Ning Miao discovered that Yuan Ziyan was with Yan Mobai.

"Second brother, it's really you! Why are you here?" Yan Changjing asked.

Yan Mobai's eyes were calm, and he replied calmly, "Official business."

Finally, she asked him, "Why are you and your eldest sister-in-law here?"

"Oh, we have something to do in Jiangnan."

There were so many people around that Yan Changjing couldn't speak directly. Finally, he pointed at the heroic woman next to Yan Mobai and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"Miss Yuan." Yan Mobai said without further introduction.

Yuan Ziyan nodded and saluted.

Yan Changjing and Ning Miao also returned her greetings.

After replying, Yan Changjing took a step forward, approached Yan Mobai, nudged him with his elbow, smiled and whispered in his ear: "Not bad, you are a good match for my second brother."

Although it was a low voice, everyone was close enough to hear it.

Yan Mobai remained silent, his emotions unclear.

Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly shyly.

"Second brother, which inn are you staying in?" Yan Changjing asked.

"It's official business. I can't tell you." Yan Mobai said expressionlessly.

Yan Changjing: “…”

I could only smile awkwardly: "Okay."

Ning Miao turned his head and rolled his eyes, snorting in his heart, as if he was afraid that if he told her, she would come to him.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang", like the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

Then a cry of surprise rang out: "Someone fell into the river!"

Everyone was shocked.

Ning Miao immediately looked under the bridge and saw a little girl of about five or six years old splashing in the water.

Without any hesitation, Ning Miao climbed over the bridge railing and jumped down.

It happened too suddenly.

The girl fell into the water suddenly, and Ning Miao jumped in even more suddenly.

No one reacted until Chunlan screamed, "Madam!"

Only then did a few people realize that Ning Miao had jumped down, and their faces changed.

The next moment, everyone saw a dark shadow flash beside them, and a figure flew up and jumped into the river.

It’s Yan Mobai!

"Master Yan!" Yuan Ziyan reached out her hand hurriedly, but it was too late to hold him.

How can you see water when the wound on your shoulder is so severe?

Ding Yi remembered that his master was very good at swimming: "Master, you should also go down and save the lady!"

Yan Changjing frowned and leaned on the railing to look down.

"No need, it seems that the lady knows how to swim, and, my second brother has gone down, and he can swim too, so she will be fine."

He had just recovered from a serious illness, how could he go into the water?

The water is very cold on spring nights. What if you catch a cold?

He had to be in good health before he could see the miracle doctor.

Chunlan was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Yuan Ziyan also had a solemn expression.

In the water under the bridge, Ning Miao held the little girl with one arm across his chest and paddled with the other hand.

"Give it to me." The man's deep voice sounded beside her.

Ning Miao was stunned.

Just now in the panic, I seemed to hear someone jumping down, and I thought it was the little girl’s family, or some other kind-hearted person.

I didn’t expect it to be Yan Mobai.

She frowned: "Why did you come down?"

Yan Mobai's face darkened: "What? Did it affect your ability to be a hero?"

Ning Miao: "...No, you are injured!"

If she hadn't taken into consideration that he had an injury on his shoulder and couldn't go into water, and if she hadn't been concerned about him showing up in public and exposing his identity and whereabouts, she would definitely have found ways to get him to save the little girl.

Why did she grab it so quickly?

Isn't it because I'm afraid that he will come down first, and I'm also afraid that someone else will get there first.

Unexpectedly, he still came down.

Seeing Yan Mobai preparing to take the little girl, Ning Miao kicked the water with his feet, dodged it and didn't give it to him.

"Don't you want your arm anymore?" Ning Miao scolded, and without waiting for his response, he paddled quickly and swam towards the river bank.

She was very clear about the power of the Thousand Hook Arrows. The design of the barbed arrows meant that even if they didn't hit a vital point, large chunks of flesh and blood would be pulled out when they were pulled out.
