On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2033 Quietly Exploring the Water Village

Yan Ruyu sat at the bow of the boat, switching her eyes calmly so that she could clearly see what was happening around her.

The location of the side gate of the water fort is somewhat special. It is a dead-end road, and the side door is also the end of the road.

Usually, only the people from their water fort come here, and foreign ships will not come here.

As long as a boat enters, if you want to leave, you can only row backwards and there is no possibility of moving forward.

It is tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, there were far fewer guards than at the main gate, and because of the heavy fog, those guards, like Li San and Zhao Wu, relaxed their vigilance a little.

Yinding looked at the side door that was getting closer and closer, and whispered to Yan Ruyu, "Princess, it's just ahead."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Don't worry, this fog will block their vision. I have also stirred up some water vapor to make the fog thicker over there. They can't even see the things around them clearly now, so they won't notice us at all."

As they spoke, the boat had already reached the side gate. The guard at the side gate was huddled in a corner, rubbing his hands and complaining about the unusual fog.

"Why hasn't the fog cleared yet? It's so cold that I can't even have a hot meal." A guard muttered.

Another guard chimed in, "Who says it isn't? The fog is so thick that it's hard to patrol. We can't see anything anyway, so we might as well stay here."

The two of them didn't notice at all that a small boat was slowly approaching in the fog not far away. Everyone on the boat held their breath and tried not to make any sound.

Taking this opportunity, Huo Changhe and Yinding had already changed into their wetsuits, and even the two sailors were no exception.

When they just boarded the ship and set off, Yan Ruyu handed them the water coats. The two sailors treasured them very much because they had never seen such water coats before.

They both changed clothes when the fog just started to rise.

Huo Changhe whispered, "You two, dive underwater. Unless you encounter danger, no matter what happens, do not act rashly. Just wait for the signal."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Is it okay for the two of you to stay underwater for a while longer? If you have any questions, please tell me as soon as possible. Don't force yourself."

"Don't worry," the two of them said confidently, "We grew up near the water and are very experienced in swimming. Even sleeping in the water is no problem."

"Okay," Huo Changhe said, "Do your job well, and you will be rewarded handsomely when you succeed."

They were both Su Zhenhai's men. If they had known that they were working for the Prince of Zhennan, let alone a reward, even if there was no reward, it would still be a rare opportunity and honor in a lifetime.

After arranging the two and watching them enter the water, Yan Ruyu looked at the guard at the side door and whispered to Huo Changhe, "I'll make the fog thicker later to block their sight. We'll take the opportunity to pass through. We have to move quickly so they don't see us."

Huo Changhe nodded, tightened his grip on the knife, and prepared to deal with any emergency at any time.

On the other side, Li San still felt uneasy. He looked at the water again. The fog was thicker than before, and even Zhao Wu beside him looked a little blurry.

He couldn't help but speak again: "Zhao Wu, are you really okay? The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and I always feel something is wrong."

Zhao Wu was a little impatient: "What's wrong with you? I told you it's okay, why are you always suspicious?

Wait a little longer, the sun will come out soon. When the fog dissipates, everything will be clear, right?

If something really happened, the mechanism would have gone off long ago, and there would be no time for us to guess here."

After hearing what Zhao Wu said, Li San could no longer insist and could only suppress his uneasiness in his heart, but his eyes were still fixed on the water, for fear of missing any movement.

At this time, Yan Ruyu's boat had already arrived below the side door.

She moved her fingertips slightly, and the fog around them became thicker. The guard at the side door felt that everything in front of him was whiter, and he couldn't even see his hand clearly when he stretched it out in front of him.

"Why is the fog getting thicker again?" a guard muttered and rubbed his eyes.

Another guard shuddered. "Never mind. It's okay anyway. Just bear with it for a while. You can go back and relax after your shift ends."

While they were talking, Yan Ruyu found a place to change into her wetsuit, and then quietly dived into the water from the boat with Yin Ding and Huo Changhe.

Then, Yan Ruyu waved her hand and put the boat into the space.

The boat was quiet and empty.

The three of them made almost no sound and, taking advantage of the cover of the fog, swam quickly towards the interior of the water fort.

Huo Changhe was next to Yan Ruyu and could clearly see the side gate of the water fort underwater. He turned around and glanced at the guards at the side gate and saw that they were still complaining and had no idea that someone had broken in.

Several figures flashed and merged into the fog inside the water fort, disappearing.

The water surface broke with three slight sounds. Huo Changhe stuck his head out first, raised his hand to wipe his face, and was about to catch his breath when Yinding beside him raised his hand and pressed it on his arm.

The force from the fingertips was very light, but it carried a hint. Huo Changhe immediately looked in the direction of the silver ingot.

The water bridge was just a few feet ahead. The wooden planks of the bridge were soaked in water vapor, and a group of people were walking along the bridge.

Yinding's gaze was fixed on the man in front. There was a scar on his left cheek that ran diagonally from the corner of his eye to his jaw, which was particularly eye-catching.

When the grain was being delivered that day, this man stood aside and didn't say three words from beginning to end, but the subordinates next to him had to look at his eyes before handing him water, and everyone could tell that he was the one in charge.

Huo Changhe followed the silver ingot's gaze across the scarred man and nodded slowly.

The three men didn't move any more, their bodies slowly sinking along with the current, leaving only their mouths and noses on the water surface, like three reeds swaying gently with the waves.

Scarface didn't walk fast, and his footsteps made no sound on the wooden boards.

Huo Changhe moved first, his body moving under the water bridge like a swimming fish.

Yan Ruyu followed at the end.

After walking for about half an incense stick of time, Scarface suddenly stopped in front of a wooden house.

The door of the wooden house was ajar, and a faint light could be seen coming from inside, but he did not push the door. Instead, he turned his head and his eyes fell on the water.

The men beside him immediately took two steps forward and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Scarface didn't answer immediately. His eyes swept across the water, slowly moved away from the direction where the three people were hiding, and then fell back on the door of the wooden house.

After a moment, he finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it carried a weight that made people dare not neglect him: "Go ask the gate of the village if there is anything unusual today."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded in response: "Yes."

He turned to leave, and Scarface added, "Don't make it public. Once you've figured it out, come back here and get back to me."

"Yes!" The man walked lightly along the water bridge towards the village gate.

Scarface was still standing in front of the wooden house, his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist. He no longer looked at the water, but he didn't push the door open either.

The three people underwater held their breath.

Yan Ruyu quietly moved to the side to avoid a ripple on the water.

She could hear her own heartbeat mixed in with the water, but she didn't dare to breathe heavily.

When Scarface looked at her just now, she always felt that his gaze seemed to be brushing against her hair. Even though she knew it was hidden, she still couldn't help but clench her palms.

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe - he was staring at the scarred man's back, his brows slightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Scarface finally moved and raised his hand to push the wooden door.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. It was the men who had just gone to inquire at the village gate and came back. He walked faster than when he left and came to Scarface.
