My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 387 Every Man Has a Good Thing

At night, the full moon rose, and the cold white moonlight fell leisurely on the lonely boat in the lake. There was no candle on it, only the moonlight. The light shone through the painting boat, revealing that it was empty inside, with only a low table and two cups of cold tea. There was no one else.

On the deck, a couple sat in each other's arms amidst the shimmering water and the pouring moonlight, almost melting into the moonlight. The full moon was reflected on the lake, and the only sound was the gentle sound of the night wind passing by their ears. Both of them were silent.

Shen Ming leaned quietly in Jiang Yan's arms, his thoughts almost frozen by this dream-like scene. He just wanted to stay at this moment forever, but this was impossible... The poetic and picturesque life was broken by the sound of rushing water and scolding in the distance before he had experienced it for a few days.

"Hurry! Hurry up! We just arrived at Yunzhou Wharf at night and it's not closed yet, so hurry up and use all your strength! If you can get there before the curfew, you will be rewarded handsomely when you return to the Young Mistress of the Pei Family!"

A middle-aged man with a wealthy look was urging and giving orders anxiously, stretching his neck from time to time to look far away, and then continued to urge the people under him.

The boatmen were not angry when they heard this. Instead, they rowed their boats as if they were risking their lives, closing their eyes and not caring about anything.

The boat was moving at almost the speed of a dragon boat race, rushing straight towards Jiang Yan's boat...

Moreover, because there was no candle on Jiang Yan's boat, and it was almost drifting with the current and hidden in the sparkling water, and the wealthy man was inexplicably anxious, he did not even notice the small boat in front of him!

By the time he realized it, it was too late and his eyes widened.

"Quick! Stop now..."

Just at this moment, one of the boatmen suddenly got a stitch in the side, and his movements froze, causing the boat to tremble, causing the wealthy man to lose his balance and fall into the boat. The other boatmen only heard the last word "faster", so... they worked even harder!

Jiang Yan............

"It can be seen that she is really anxious. Ming'er, it's better not to get angry."

Jiang Yan held down Shen Ming's restless hand and suppressed the anger in her heart.

And Shen Ming also obeyed obediently, and put his hand into Jiang Yan's arms, as if to help him calm down.

"Shen Ming is not angry."

Does Jiang Yan believe it? If he does, then there must be something fishy going on!

He did not refute, nor did he use any magic to teleport. He just slightly shifted the angle of his own boat so that the two boats could pass by each other without colliding, and then he ignored it.

But the other side didn't know! At first glance, it was a boat that suddenly appeared on the other side. We had to work together to stop the boat on the water. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and we couldn't see our hands in front of us. We had no sense of direction.

What's more, some people were unable to react in time, and as a result, the ship shifted its direction again, and strangely crashed straight into Jiang Yan's ship, with a determination not to stop until it hit a wall.

"?"

Jiang Yan looked calm and composed as he stared at the boat opposite him, but Shen Ming was getting a little impatient.

Just when the two boats were about to collide, the red curtain on the opposite boat suddenly broke, and a beautiful middle-aged woman jumped out from inside and walked on the water. Her posture was free and easy, her wide sleeves stretched out and her clothes fluttered, and her figure was outstanding. In just three or two steps, she ran straight towards Jiang Yan's boat.

It came in a moment, without stopping, she jumped up with a light touch of her toes on the water, turned over in the air, and used her feet to gain leverage on Jiang Yan's boat. A black silk skirt and an ink-colored waterfall appeared, followed by a clear shout.

"open!"

The slender feet wrapped in brocade kicked at the boat like a steel whip, and the deck cracked amidst the flying wood chips. The unstoppable boat was also forcibly changed its direction by this kick! It barely passed by.

The beautiful middle-aged woman also took advantage of the recoil force to flip upside down, and with a few clever moves she returned to her own boat. Her toes accurately touched the railing of her own boat, and she clasped her hands towards Jiang Yan and the other man.

"I'm sorry, both of you. It's an emergency and I have to make up my mind. I'm sorry for disturbing you just now."

After saying that, he took out a bag of silver from his waist and threw it into Jiang Yan's boat.

"This is an apology. We have something important to attend to, so we won't bother you any more. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely invite you two to come and be my guests!"

After saying this, he returned to the boat without looking back. The tattered red curtain fluttered, and the figure disappeared...

…………

The others also recovered from the shock and started talking about it.

"Just now...just now...was it the Young Madam who took action?!"

"How could it be fake! At this age and with such martial arts skills, who else could it be other than the young lady of the Pei family?"

"I didn't expect that after only practicing martial arts for more than ten years, she has such skills. The young lady is really talented!"

"What are you all arguing about?! Hurry up and row the boat! The deck is cracked, so row quickly if you don't want to feed the fish!"

The wealthy man yelled angrily, and the others went back to their respective duties. After a long time, everything returned to the way it was before.

However, this wealthy man felt sad and bitter.

"Master, Master, you have caused me so much trouble... It would have been fine if you had sneaked out by yourself, but why did you drag me along? And now you ran away to Yunzhou without telling me. Now the master is furious, and the mistress has personally stepped in, and I am also going to be implicated..."

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, but he adjusted quickly and recovered in a short while. He even couldn't help but smile because he thought of something happy.

He secretly glanced at someone in the boat who was no longer visible, and forced himself to suppress the smile.

"Hey, although I will suffer, Master, you will definitely be more miserable than me, tsk tsk... Master Pei, why don't you change your bad habits~"

…………

The boat gradually disappeared at the end of the sight, but Jiang Yan still did not withdraw his gaze, staring blankly at the empty water surface.

"That was... Xiaolan?!"

Not a question, but a certainty.

But it was this certainty that made Jiang Yan feel confused?

Why is Xiaolan here? Didn't she get married with Pei Mengmeng and raise her children in Lingzhou? Why is she here?

You have to know that this is Jinglan Territory. Although it borders Dongliao Territory, it will take more than a few days to reach this place. It must be done with an official road, no bandits, no thieves, and no natural disasters. It will take another half a year to get there.

Furthermore, based on Jiang Yan’s understanding of Xiaolan, she should not be too far away from the Pei family, let alone an entire region?

From Jiang Yan's perception, there was no cargo on the boat just now, which meant that she came here alone, not doing business but in a hurry, as if she was looking for something...

"Pei Mengmeng is not on the boat... Xiaolan is in a hurry..."

Jiang Yan murmured, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but twitch.

"No way……"

Finally, he grinned again, and fell back on the deck with a smile in his eyes. At the same time, the boat below him, which had originally been in a no-fixed direction, gradually changed direction and headed towards the other party.

Shen Ming's bright eyes rolled around and then he seemed to have figured something out. He couldn't help but curl his lips, crossed his arms, and snorted coldly at Jiang Yan.

"Men are really no good..."

Jiang Yan: "?"
