Chapter 357 Meeting an old friend again
Li Siqi and Xu Yingying went all the way south and helped a family in the city drive away the evil spirit in their home.
The other party gave them fifty taels as a reward, which brought smiles to both of their faces. For a long time afterwards, they did not have to worry about travel expenses.
"How about it, isn't it amazing?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi proudly.
Li Siqi was also very supportive, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Thanks to Miss Xu, if you didn't have this ability, I'm afraid the two of us would have to beg along the way."
After spending some time together, the two have become very familiar with each other.
Unlike at the beginning when Xu Yingying felt that Li Siqi had ulterior motives towards her, it now seems that Li Siqi's character can still be trusted.
"Let's set off tomorrow morning, what do you think?" Xu Yingying put the silver away and then turned around and asked.
"I don't have any ideas. I'll just listen to you." Li Siqi nodded.
The two reached an agreement and packed their luggage early the next morning to set off. However, as soon as they reached the door of the inn, they heard a scream, followed by a slightly familiar voice.
"Xu Yingying! What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Where are you going?"
Looking up, Xu Yingying found that it was her old acquaintance Wang Jingrui. She had no idea about Wang Jingrui, the rich young man.
On the other hand, Wang Ruijing rushed over to her enthusiastically after seeing her.
"What a coincidence! I'm planning to go to Jiangnan."
After all, we know each other, there's no need to be so cold, Xu Yingying answered patiently.
"Great, I'm going to Jiangnan too, so we're just on the same route."
"It's just right that we can be together."
Wang Jingrui had feelings for Yingying, but Xu Yingying had neither a good nor a bad impression of this rich young man, and she was not averse to his approach.
Anyway, there are only her and Li Siqi on this journey, so having more people will save her from being lonely on the road.
"If it's convenient, we can come together, but why are there so many people here?"
Wang Jingrui was followed by a large group of people. Judging from their clothes, some of them should be servants of Wang Jingrui's family, and the other part seemed to be people from the escort agency. They had weapons in their hands and were very wary of strangers around them.
"My father asked me to deliver these goods to Jiangnan. He said that I would just waste my time at home and it would be better for me to take over the family business earlier. Fortunately, I did not refuse, otherwise I would have missed meeting you this time."
Wherever Wang Jingrui is, the atmosphere will never be dull.
No matter who he is facing, he always has endless things to say.
"Okay, Young Master Wang, right? You just entered the city, so you probably need to take a rest. We are ready to set off, but I'm afraid we can't go together." At this moment, Li Siqi on the side spoke.
He had no intention of traveling with Wang Jingrui. Even a fool could sense that Wang Jingrui had evil thoughts about Xu Yingying. It would be so pleasant for him and Xu Yingying to travel along the way. Bringing other people would only affect their emotional communication.
However, Wang Jingrui seemed not to understand the meaning of Li Siqi's words and made the decision directly.
"No need to rest. We have brought enough food and water. We just need to replenish a little. Everyone, please work hard. Your rewards will be doubled. We will rest when we reach the next city."
The cash ability was very useful, and everyone had no objection, so they decided to set off on the spot.
Li Siqi saw that it was not possible to stop them, so he could only ride on his horse in a depressed mood.
"Yingying, the horse's back is a bit bumpy. You should come and ride in the carriage with me. There are a lot of food and some cool honey water in the carriage."
Xu Yingying wanted to refuse, but she didn't expect that Wang Jingrui was prepared and grabbed the reins in advance, but he seemed to be determined not to let go unless Xu Yingying was willing to get in the car.
Seeing this, Xu Yingying had no choice but to give up riding and get on the carriage.
Li Siqi held the reins tightly, feeling extremely angry.
Before letting go of the curtain, Wang Jingrui politely asked, "Brother Xiao, do you want to come up with us? There is a seat here."
Wang Jingrui thought Li Siqi would refuse, but Li Siqi's answer surprised him.
"Then I'd rather obey your command. Thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, he gave up riding and jumped into the car without any hesitation.
At this time, Wang Jingrui couldn't chase him away, so he could only laugh dryly and say welcome.
He ignored Li Siqi and just kept showing his courtesy to Xu Yingying, helping her peel fruits and pouring honey water for her himself.
Li Siqi clenched his teeth after watching all this. If it were any other time, he would have arranged for the guards to throw the man out directly, but he couldn't reveal his identity now.
Li Siqi traveled with Wang Jingrui all the way, feeling depressed. Wang Jingrui never stopped along the way, calling her Yingying all the time, as if the two were very close.
Fortunately, Li Siqi was careful when getting in the car and sat between Wang Jingrui and Xu Yingying to separate the two. Otherwise, he was afraid that Wang Jingrui would stick directly to Xu Yingying.
Fortunately, he finally calmed down in the afternoon.
"It's finally calmed down a bit. It seems like you have a good relationship with this kid." Li Siqi asked while Wang Jingrui was quiet.
Xu Yingying could also hear the resentment in Li Siqi's tone.
"We had contact for a while not long ago, and some things did happen. I'm not as clear-headed as you think. I don't have time to care about men and women right now. I just want to get to Dajiangnan as soon as possible."
Xu Yingying’s meaning was very simple. She had no interest in Wang Jingrui, but you, Xiao Hao, were the same as him. It would be best not to waste everyone’s time.
After Li Siqi understood Xu Yingying's feelings, he stopped talking. As long as she was not interested in Wang Jingrui, he was the legal wife.
Li Siqi's possessiveness is very strong. According to his mind, he will definitely not allow anyone other than himself to get close to Xu Yingying.
Wang Jingrui was too conspicuous during his journey, and coupled with the cargo on the large horse-drawn carriages behind him, he soon attracted the attention of a group of thieves.
"Horse Face, see, can this group of people do something? There are not many of them, and they don't look very skilled. As long as we arrange for the brothers to ambush in front, we can definitely make a fortune."
A burly man with scars all over his face looked at the convoy greedily.
Next to him was a man with a horse face, and his eyes were also fixed on the goods in the convoy. It was Wang Jingrui's first time going out, and he didn't have much experience at all. For something like transporting goods, it was better to be as low-key as possible.
No one would be as ostentatious as he is, eager to let others know how valuable the things in his convoy are. It is inevitable that he will be targeted.
"Kill him and let the brothers get ready. They will definitely rest in the Yin Yang Valley ahead tonight. Let's ambush them in advance."
The Horse-Faced Man and the Scarred Man looked at each other and quickly made a decision.
