The scorching sun is like fire, and there is no cloud in the world.

On the pier by the Huantang River, people came and went bustling.

This is the southernmost end of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, which is 5,400 miles long, and runs through the economic lifeline of the entire Song Dynasty. Hangzhou is also a trading port, and it communicates with dozens of overseas countries, so it has unprecedented prosperity and is full of traffic.

Yang Fan was originally planning to ride a horse into Beijing, so the journey would be faster, but before leaving, Su Tingting gave her mount Chasing Wind to Yang Fan for transportation. Yang Fan was still angry with Su Tingting, so he did not accept her kindness and decided to go on the water.

Zhao Ni, Ye Rui and Ye Xiaoqian were also on the way to see him off. Seeing that Yang Fan and Su Tingting had a bad relationship, Zhao Ni immediately said happily: "Brother Yang, it doesn't matter if Sister Tingting doesn't want you, don't you still have me?"

Yang Fan rolled his eyes and had a bitter face. The woman he wanted would not follow him, but the woman he was not interested in was stuck to him. He had no choice but to avoid the important and said lightly: "Little Princess, you should call me Yang Fan! If you call me Brother Yang, others would think I am the little prince!"

Zhao Ni refused to act, hugged Yang Fan's arm in front of everyone, and said coquettishly: "I don't care. Since Sister Tingting doesn't want you anymore, then you are my county Mama!"

Yang Fan was about to collapse and said angrily: "Are you deliberately angry with me? You can pick up any pot without opening it!"

Zhao Ni blinked her eyes and said with a cute look on her face: "I have decided to go to Beijing with you, so I can take care of you on the way, and serve you some tea, water, and some feet!"

Yang Fan staggered, and a cold sweat fell on his forehead. He immediately bounced Zhao Ni's head and said with a stern face: "You should save money! You are a little princess who comes to serve me tea and water. Needless to say, your Royal Sect Mansion will send someone to crack me the next day!"

Yang Fanquan thought Zhao Ni was a naughty child and he couldn't afford to offend him, but he could still afford to hide. He immediately winked at Ye Xiaoqian, who immediately stepped forward to pick-and-roll.

Ye Xiaoqian didn't dare to touch Zhao Ni's daughter's body, but just blocked her with her body. Her eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty, I'll give you a trick. You can go find Miss Su now and ask her to buy a luxurious boat for Brother Yang!"

Zhao Ni was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

Ye Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Princess, you think about it. Now Brother Yang and Miss Su are having a quarrel. He doesn't even want the thousand-mile horses given by Miss Su, but instead changes to the water route! If you ask Miss Su to buy another boat for Brother Yang, then Brother Yang will definitely not want it. Then he will definitely not even go to the water route in anger!"

Zhao Ni looked like she suddenly realized her mind and said excitedly: "Brother Yang doesn't go by land or water. He doesn't have wings and can't fly, so he won't leave anymore, right?"

Ye Xiaoqian suppressed her smile and nodded. Zhao Ni was anxious, so she hurriedly left, as if she was going to buy a boat with Su Tingting.

Yang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, I really believe it!"

Ye Rui also shook his head and sighed: "The little princess in my memory seems to be very smart and not so stupid!"

Ye Xiaoqian immediately replied: "There is no good thing, women who fall in love will become stupid!"

As he said that, Ye Xiaoqian gave Yang Fan a angrily glance.

Yang Fan was immediately embarrassed, but he didn't explain it. He knew that this kind of thing became more and more unfair, so he pretended not to care.

At this time, Ye Xiaoqian handed a package to Yang Fan and said, "There are three days of dry food and some clothes to change. You will bring it on the way. The canal is cold at night, so be careful of catching a cold!"

"Thank you!" Yang Fan smiled slightly, and did not be polite to Ye Xiaoqian, so he accepted it directly.

Ye Rui said on the side: "The journey to the capital is long. Be careful on the road. Don't forget the group of men in black. If I guess correctly, they will not give up!"

Yang Fan immediately looked solemn and nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful!"

After seeing you for a thousand miles, you will have to part with him. Yang Fan was worried that Zhao Ni would come to pester him again, so he said goodbye to the Ye family father and daughter and set off on the passenger ship heading to the capital.

~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Wangjiang Pavilion in the upper reaches of the canal, Zhao Ni did not go to Su Tingting to find Su Tingting, but came here directly.

The maid beside her asked, "Princess, aren't we going to buy a boat with Miss Su?"

Zhao Ni immediately glanced at her sideways and said angrily: "Are you really stupid in this princess?"

The maid suddenly said in panic: "Stop angry! I deserve to die!"

Zhao Ni snorted coldly and said, "Ye Xiaoqian's little tricks, I can see through it at first glance!"

The little maid said curiously: "Why didn't the princess expose her conspiracy on the spot?"

Zhao Ni sighed and said, "If this princess exposes her on the spot, Ye Xiaoqian will be punished. But after all, she is Brother Yang's friend. This princess must also look at Buddha's face if she doesn't look at monks. Instead of making a fuss like that, it's better to pretend to be stupid. Brother Yang must know that Ye Xiaoqian deliberately deceives this princess. With Brother Yang's personality, he will feel a little guilty!"

At this time, the passenger ship where Yang Fan was slowly sailing across the canal, and Zhao Ni and his servant saw it clearly in the Wangjiang Pavilion on the high side of the shore.

The maid was surprised, then rolled her eyes. It turned out that her princess was really unsuccessful for this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the backyard of Su Mansion's mansion, the newly recruited manager immediately reported Yang Fan's itinerary to Su Tingting.

Su Tingting's heart trembled, and then she said calmly: "Go, go and pay 200,000 guan in the account!"

The new manager asked immediately, "Miss, I don't know why?"

Su Tingting smiled and said, "Go to open a branch in Beijing, and the Su family business should be expanded!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Above the canal, in front of the bow, Yang Fan stood with his hands behind his back to see the scenery along the way.

Su Tingting didn't leave Yang Fan, which annoyed him.

Men have a strong possessive desire for women, and Yang Fan is no exception. When he has a physical relationship with Su Tingting, he will instinctively treat the other party as his own woman and will not allow others to get involved.

However, Yang Fan has a more important task at the moment. He has to establish a good relationship with the other party before Zhao Ji is appointed as the crown prince and gain Zhao Ji's absolute trust. Only in this way can he become successful in the future.

"Gao Qiu, with me, Yang Fan, you don't want to make a fortune again. In the future, history books will probably write that Yang Fan has made a fortune! Hahaha!"

Yang Fan couldn't help laughing proudly, and then he saw a boat full of people looking at him like a monster, and he immediately restrained himself.

Keep a low profile! Be low profile!

Two days later, Yang Fan arrived in Yangzhou by boat. No one was found following along the way, and nothing happened. Yang Fan felt a little relieved.

After chewing dry food for two days, Yang Fan couldn't stand it anymore. After the boat arrived in Yangzhou, he immediately found an inn, ordered a table of good wine and food, and had a delicious meal.

However, as Yang Fan ate, he felt so sleepy and then became unconscious.

Until he woke up the next day, Yang Fan opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed.

"Brother Yang, you are awake, come and have a meal!"

Yang Fan was very familiar with the voice of the speaker, and his head was dizzy. When he looked closely, he saw Ye Xiaoqian sitting in the living room for dining.

Yang Fan immediately stood up, looked at the room around him, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Ye Xiaoqian glanced at Yang Fan, then grinned and said angrily: "If I don't come, you may have been put on a sack and sank into the river now!"

It turned out that Yang Fan's Taoism was not high enough. He thought he had not been followed. It is important to know that there were people outside of him and that there were heavens outside of him. The enemies would not attack when Yang Fan was most vigilant. They were as patient as wolves, just waiting for the moment when Yang Fan relaxed his vigilance.

Although the inn where Yang Fan stayed in was a serious business, several men in black pretended to be in-house men and served Yang Fan with wine and food, and put a pill in it and fascinated Yang Fan.

Fortunately, Ye Rui and Ye Xiaoqian and his daughter have been secretly protecting Yang Fan, and then they rescued Yang Fan back.

Yang Fan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and felt scared.

Ye Xiaoqian immediately smiled and said, "You're scared! The world is dangerous. I even specifically told you to only eat the dry food and water you brought with you, but you still got caught! If it's not for the other party who wants to catch the living, if you poison your food, even if we are here, you're done!"

After a brief loss of consciousness, Yang Fan regained his calmness. He said, "Actually, I knew you were there, so I don't worry!"

Ye Xiaoqian said speechlessly: "Just brag! Keep bragging! Look, the cows outside are almost flying into the sky!"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's just a joke! Thank you for saving your life!"

Ye Xiaoqian burst into laughter and said in a sweet voice: "This is almost the same!"

Yang Fan asked Ye Rui where he went. Ye Xiaoqian explained that their father and daughter killed the men in black at that time, but there was still a group of people who were unknown, so Ye Rui chased them.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly, never thinking that he was so popular. Many forces in Hangzhou wanted to kill him. Now that he left Hangzhou, there are still two forces attacking him.

Yang Fan is dissatisfied with him. He is born with a threat, and the more he is threatened, the less he is afraid. He wants to fight to the end and never surrender to the enemy.

In order to ensure Yang Fan's safety, Ye Xiaoqian disguised Yang Fan, dressed him up as a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and wrapped his most eye-catching flamed Tang sword in sackcloth, which no longer attracted attention.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Yang Fan immediately curled his lips and said, "I said, there is no need to dress me up so ugly, my face is full of pockmarks, and I want to vomit myself!"

Ye Xiaoqian said proudly: "What should men be so handsome? It's better to be simple!"

Yang Fan also knew that Ye Xiaoqian had good intentions, so he stopped resisting and just acted as a poor scholar.

After disguising, Yang Fan left the back door, met Ye Xiaoqian on Zhongjie and returned to the dock.

Yang Fan turned around for a while, wanting to see if anyone was following him.

Ye Xiaoqian burst into laughter and said, "Don't worry! No one can recognize you!"

Yang Fan was embarrassed and didn't speak.

Ye Xiaoqian handed Yang Fan another baggage and said, "This is five days of dry food and water, enough for you to arrive in the capital!"

Yang Fan curled his lips. He really didn't want to eat dry food anymore. It was too choking.

Ye Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Don't worry! The dry food this time is beef jerky, chewy and delicious!"

Yang Fan was dazed and asked, "Then why didn't you give me this before?"

Ye Xiaoqian smiled but said nothing, and Yang Fan immediately understood that Ye Xiaoqian was deliberately slandering him.

Yang Fan grinded his teeth, Ye Xiaoqian turned a blind eye, and then said, "Okay, I'll send you here! Remember the letter I gave you when I entered Beijing!"
