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

Chapter 2003: Late Night Sailing

As it was getting dark, the owner of the shipping company stood at the dock, rubbing his hands and watching the men push the boat chosen by Yan Ruyu into the water.

As soon as the boat touched the waves, he called out to the shade of the tree: "Brother, the boat is ready. When do you want to try it out?"

A person in green clothes walked out from the shadow of the tree. It was Yan Ruyu.

He glanced at the hull, but didn't come forward. He just said lightly: "Don't worry about it."

The shopkeeper quickly responded and took two steps forward: "This boat's rudder and oars are newly made. Would you like me to demonstrate them to you?"

"No need." Yan Ruyu interrupted him, "Just leave it here. I'll try it when the time comes."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and was about to ask another question when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"Also," Yan Ruyu raised her eyes, her tone flat, "don't send anyone to watch. If I see even a shadow of you, you can forget about the rest of the boat fare."

The shopkeeper's smile froze, and he immediately bowed, "Don't dare! I'll give the order now. No one is allowed to approach the dock even a step!"

Yan Ruyu said nothing more, turned around and blended into the twilight.

The shopkeeper looked at his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly called the steward: "Quickly evacuate everyone, we can't afford to offend this guy!"

At the same time, Su Zhenhai was standing in the center of the military camp.

He was wearing his regular uniform. He glanced at the soldiers in front of him and said in a loud voice, "One hundred and twenty of them. All of them have been with me for more than three years."

The guard beside him was stunned for a moment: "General, didn't Lord Huo say he wanted a hundred men?"

"Twenty more is better to be prepared." Su Zhenhai raised his hand and pressed the scabbard at his waist. "This matter is very serious. If one person is missing, something might go wrong."

The soldiers quickly lined up, each one standing tall and with sharp eyes.

Someone whispered to his companions, "What is the Sucheng Envoy going to do?"

"Look at this scene, it must be an errand for an important person." Another person lowered his voice, "Don't ask too many questions, just follow us. How can the city envoy let us down?"

Su Zhenhai heard the noise, but instead of scolding, he just waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me back to the mansion."

The group walked silently through the streets and entered the back door of the Su Mansion.

Huo Changhe was already waiting outside the main hall. His dark tights made him look tall and straight. When he saw the team, he nodded slightly.

The soldiers were already as tall and straight as pines, and when they saw Huo Changhe, they couldn't help but straighten their backs again.

Someone looked at him quietly and saw that he had a calm demeanor and a serious look in his eyes - anyone who could make Su Zhenhai personally mobilize troops must be a person who could do big things.

Su Zhenhai stepped forward and said, "We've brought the people here. One hundred and twenty of them. They're all my trusted aides."

"Thank you for your hard work, Envoy Su." Huo Changhe nodded and glanced at the team.

Su Zhenhai glanced around and his eyes fell on his side.

There stood a young general wearing silver soft armor. He was not tall and strong, but he stood straight with delicate features. However, his eyes had a calmness that was rare among his peers.

Su Zhenhai's heart skipped a beat, and the more he looked, the more familiar the person looked.

The young doctor who came to the mansion the day before yesterday seemed to look like this?

But he was wearing cloth at that time, but now he is wearing armor, which makes him look more heroic.

Just as he was about to think about it, Huo Changhe raised his hand: "I'll call out the names, later..."

Su Zhenhai took the opportunity to take two steps back, thinking of going to the backyard to see if the young doctor was there, so as to confirm his guess.

As I walked through the hall, I heard someone behind me shout, "Dad!"

He turned around and saw Su Shengsheng, dressed in a maroon suit with a dagger on his waist, walking towards him quickly.

"What are you mobilizing troops for? Take me with you!"

"Nonsense." Su Zhenhai frowned, "This is not a joke, go back."

"I won't." Su Shengsheng raised his head. "I've been practicing martial arts with you since I was a child. I'm not a vegetarian. If you don't take me with you, I can go by myself."

Su Zhenhai was so frustrated by her pestering that he didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He could only sigh and say, "Forget it. Come with me and ask the prince. If he agrees, I'll take you with me."

When the father and daughter returned to the main hall, Huo Changhe had just called out the last name.

Su Zhenhai stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, my daughter Shengsheng insists on going with you. What do you think..."

Huo Changhe looked at Su Shengsheng, frowned slightly, and seemed a little hesitant.

Just as he was about to speak, the young general beside him suddenly spoke up in a clear voice, "It wouldn't hurt to take her with you. Miss Su seems quite skilled, maybe she can be of help."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Changhe immediately relaxed his brows and nodded, saying, "Okay. Miss Su, please be careful."

Su Zhenhai felt more confident - Huo Changhe clearly gave in after hearing what the young general said.

This young man is definitely not an ordinary military commander.

He secretly glanced at the young general and saw that he was lowering his head to adjust his armor. The lines on his profile were soft, and he really looked a bit like the young doctor that day.

At midnight, the sound of a gong could be heard from the street. Huo Changhe raised his voice and said, "Let's go."

Everyone immediately formed into four teams and followed Huo Changhe out.

Su Shengsheng was in the front row of the team, walking briskly and his eyes full of excitement.

From her point of view, she could see Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu in front of her.

The young general walked beside Huo Changhe, occasionally whispering something, and Huo Changhe nodded in response.

After leaving the Su residence, the group walked along the quiet streets towards the river. As the night deepened, there were few people on the road, only the sound of footsteps was so light that it was almost inaudible.

When they arrived at the designated river bend, they saw more than twenty figures standing at the dock from afar. They were the people Huo Changhe had sent earlier.

"Master," Beibei and Fengshao stepped forward to greet him.

Huo Changhe nodded: "Get on board, hurry up."

The boat was parked steadily on the shore, and its hull was large.

The soldiers boarded the ship one by one in an orderly manner without any noise.

Su Shengsheng followed Su Zhenhai onto the boat and looked around the cabin curiously.

Her eyes fell on the young general who was the last to board the ship.

Before leaving, Su Zhenhai quietly told her that she could follow the young general closely, and that the young general was most likely the young doctor.

Su Shengsheng was surprised. He had heard of the art of disguise, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

Su Zhenhai smiled faintly: "How much of the world have you seen? What is the prince's status? What kind of extraordinary people are there around him? It's just a matter of changing your appearance, it's not difficult."

Su Shengsheng chased him and asked if he had seen it. Su Zhenhai looked longingly and recalled the time when he was in the northwest.

"Of course I have seen it. Back then in the Northwest, it was truly free and unrestrained."

It's not like being in Rongzhou, where I'm stuck here and suffer all kinds of bullying.

Yan Ruyu had just stepped onto the deck when she seemed to notice Su Shengsheng's gaze. She looked over and nodded slightly.

Su Shengsheng quickly retracted his gaze and thought to himself, Dad’s reminder was right, this young doctor is indeed not simple.

However, since he knew that he was a young doctor, there was nothing to be afraid of. Su Shengsheng was really curious about Yan Ruyu.

She wanted to see if the little doctor, who usually stayed in the backyard quietly, would turn pale with fear if he really encountered a fight - she just wanted to protect the little doctor.

The oars moved, and the boat quietly left the dock and merged into the dark night.
