Chapter 236: Take me with you next time
They finally arrived in Lin'an City. Su Yue looked at the tired faces of the people and decided to take a rest in Lin'an City first.
She was fed up with the stopping and starting over the past two days.
Arriving at the inn, everyone finally settled down.
While eating, Liu Yixiao saw that they all looked listless and said, "Actually, we can also go by water.
Although going by water is faster, it would be very uncomfortable for people who are seasick, not to mention that we have three pregnant women here."
When the others heard this, their eyes lit up.
Taking the water route does indeed arrive faster than the estimated time by land, because the boat can continue to sail at night.
It's not that they hadn't considered traveling by water before, but they didn't know any familiar fleets, and they didn't trust those unfamiliar people outside, so they thought there was no need to take the risk.
Shangguan Haomu looked at Liu Yixiao: "Brother Liu, do you have a reliable fleet?"
Liu Yixiao nodded and said seriously, "Safety can be guaranteed. If you take a big ship, it will be safer and less shaky.
But the big ship was crowded with people of all kinds.
Small boats are easy targets for pirates, and they are prone to shaking when sailing, which can be very uncomfortable for people who are prone to seasickness."
Everyone fell into deep thought, wondering what choice to make.
Su Yue tapped the table lightly: "This is indeed a difficult problem, I need to think about it carefully."
The room suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional sound of dishes colliding.
Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen were the first to speak out, their tone firm: "We don't get seasick. We've been on ships a lot during our previous expeditions. There's no need to worry about this."
After hearing this, Su Yue nodded slightly, but still looked at Mu Feng worriedly.
Seeing Su Yue's concerned look, Mu Feng said, "Don't worry about me. I've only been on a small boat before and never got seasick."
Su Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Shen Yunyan expectantly.
Shen Yunyan seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "I've never been on a boat, so I don't know if I get seasick. But I'm not that fragile, so even if I do, it won't be a big problem."
Xiao Fan also said beside him: "I'm fine, there should be no problem."
Finally, after careful discussion and comprehensive consideration of various factors, they decided to take the water route.
After confirming it, Liu Yixiu finished his meal and hurriedly got up to contact the fleet.
Everyone felt relieved for the time being. After all, this stop-and-go journey on land was really tiring.
Su Yue turned to Shen Yunyan and said, "Yunyan, go and dismiss the two drivers."
The carriage and the coachman were all rented, so it was quite convenient to deal with them now.
Su Yue specifically reminded them: "Remember to give them a little more tip. They originally agreed to go to the capital, and now they are only halfway there. You should compensate them a little more."
Shen Yunyan nodded, stood up and went to give instructions on the relevant matters.
Su Yue looked at Shen Yunyan's back as he left, thinking about the upcoming water journey, hoping that everything would go well.
Liu Yixiu quickly arranged the fleet's affairs and hurried back.
Even he himself found it strange. He didn't know why, but ever since he saw Su Yue praising Xiao Fan, he had been secretly hoping that he could receive such praise.
It was obvious that he used to be extremely disdainful of such things, thinking that they were just empty reputations and nothing to worry about.
However, this time, the more he told himself not to care about these things, the faster his pace became.
He even couldn't help but imagine in his mind the scene of himself returning to the inn and everyone surrounding him, their faces full of joy and admiration, praising him endlessly.
"They will definitely say that I am efficient and capable." Liu Yixiu thought to himself as he ran, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He wanted to fly in front of everyone immediately to show his achievements.
Liu Yixiu returned to the inn panting. Without even having time to drink a sip of water, he couldn't wait to share the good news.
"I'm back, and the fleet's affairs have been arranged!" Liu Yixiu said loudly excitedly.
As he expected, everyone praised him highly.
"Liu Yixiao, you are really amazing. You got things done so quickly!" Su Yue spoke first
"That's right, thanks to you, we were able to find the fleet so smoothly." Mu Feng also agreed.
Liu Yixiu was very happy to hear these compliments. His mouth was wide open and his face was filled with a proud smile.
But at the same time, his face was red with excitement and embarrassment.
Shangguan Haochen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Yixiao's expression. "Hey, look at your blushing face. Are you really that excited?"
Liu Yixiao immediately came to his senses when he heard Shangguan Haochen's ridicule, and retorted bluntly: "What do you know? I'm just happy! If you have the ability, go and do something so beautiful!"
Shangguan Haomu also joked, "Haha, Brother Liu, I can't believe you're so flattered by just a few compliments.
But this you is the real Brother Liu, full of flesh and blood, no longer so cold and indifferent."
Liu Yixiu felt a little embarrassed by what they said, but he felt warm in his heart. Everyone's jokes made him feel a different kind of warmth and closeness.
When Su Yue heard that they would set off early tomorrow morning, she thought to herself that she must not miss out on the special food of Lin'an, and she also could not miss the opportunity to exchange the things in the space for money.
So she gave a few brief instructions and wanted to take Shen Yunyan and Xiaofan out.
Liu Yixiao was now extremely anxious. He stood up in a flash and immediately asked aggrievedly, "Why not me? It's my turn now!"
He looked like a child who asked for candy but couldn't get any, so pitiful.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
It was really funny to see this aggrieved expression on the face of Liu Yixiu, who was always proud, confident and arrogant.
In everyone's impression, Liu Yixiu should be the arrogant and insolent person, but now the contrast between his appearance is so great that it makes people laugh.
Su Yue smiled and explained, "Liu Yixiao, you just came back and you've been tired from traveling all the way. Take a good rest.
Next time, I will definitely take you with me."
Liu Yixiao was just about to say that he was not tired and wanted to fight for it, but after hearing Su Yue's next words, he finally felt a little comforted and was coaxed into submission.
He muttered, "Well, we agreed. You must take me with you next time."
Then he sat down reluctantly.
Seeing that Liu Yixiao was coaxed, Su Yue quickly pulled Shen Yunyan out, fearing that Liu Yixiao would change his mind again.
Xiao Fan didn't dare to delay and hurriedly caught up with Su Yue.
Walking on the road, Su Yue actually felt a little guilty. It wasn't that she didn't want to bring Liu Yixiao with her, but if Liu Yixiao was there, she couldn't use the space openly.
The secret of the space could not be told to Liu Yixiu, which put her in a dilemma.
"Alas, I can only take him out alone next time to make up for my debt to him this time." Su Yue thought silently in her heart.
She knew that this was a bit unfair to Liu Yixiu, but there was no better way at the moment.
Shen Yunyan noticed Su Yue's absent-mindedness and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Brother Liu?"
Su Yue came back to her senses, forced a smile and said, "Nothing, let's get down to business."
Although she said this, Su Yue still felt a little guilty in her heart. She just hoped to find a suitable opportunity in the future to compensate Liu Yixiu.
