The port outside Yingzhou City is very lively today.
In fact, this place is usually lively enough, but today it is extraordinarily different.
Early this morning, the Fang family left the city in great force, led by Fang Changyun, the head of the Fang family. Even the local aborigines of Yingzhou have not had many opportunities to see Fang Changyun in recent years.
If he can work, he will go out of the city to greet him personally, which shows that the status of the guest who is about to land on the island today must be extraordinary.
Not only that, the Fang family also set aside a pier for ships to dock for distinguished guests. A large group of neatly dressed guards holding weapons surrounded the pier, blocking passers-by who wanted to watch.
People can only see a huge merchant ship slowly docking in the distance.
Fang Changyun and everyone in the Fang family were waiting on the pier. After seeing the ship docking, he quickly walked over with them.
By the time they reached the shore, the people on the boat had already started to go down.
The first to come down were a group of plainly dressed attendants. Even though they said nothing but moved neatly and neatly, we knew that these people were no ordinary servants.
The attendant opened the way, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a green scholar's shirt.
The middle-aged man looked about forty-five or sixty-six, with a neat short beard, a slim appearance and a tall figure. He looked like a middle-aged scribe who came from a scholarly family and read poetry and books.
Behind him were several men and women with different clothes and looks. They all behaved well and looked calm, and they were not moved by Fang Changyun's grand ostentation.
When the middle-aged man walked down the last step, Fang Changyun took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, after we said goodbye last year, Brother Cao's style is even better than before."
The middle-aged man was Cao Mian, the governor of Qingzhou and the Marquis of Wen Ding.
Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to imagine that he is a frontier official who can control the military, government and people's livelihood in a state, let alone that he would do such crazy things.
It's no wonder that many people were in disbelief when they first heard these things. Just by looking at his appearance, this man did indeed have the demeanor of a great Confucian scholar.
Cao Mian nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fang is very happy."
Fang Changyun said with a smile: "What a big joy. It's just a chance to have fun and get together with friends. In this situation... there is nothing to be happy about."
Cao Mian looked calm, "Brother Fang, you are worrying too much. Why do you need to think about those disappointing things on your big day?"
Fang Changyun nodded and said with a smile: "What Brother Cao is saying is that Brother Cao has had a hard time coming all the way. Please go to the house to rest first. You and I will have a nice drink in the evening and we can talk then?"
"Please." Cao Mian nodded.
As the two said this, they walked outside side by side, and the people behind Cao Mian followed them quietly.
Huo Shan, who was standing in the Fang family's team, and another man beside him exchanged a few glances with the people standing in the Cao family's team, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
Not far outside the port, Luo Junyao was sitting on a tree trunk, watching the mighty team coming out of the pier from a distance.
"That's Cao Mian?"
Gu Jue said: "I have never interacted with Cao Mian, I just saw him a few times not far or near, I guess."
Luo Jun shook his chin and sighed: "You do have a good appearance. You must have been a handsome young man when you were young."
Gu Jue couldn't help but glance at her. When it came to good looks, their regent princess was the one who really had good looks.
She obviously has an exquisite and well-behaved look like ice and snow, but who would not think that she is a well-behaved and charming girl?
In fact? This is clearly a female Rakshasa.
Luo Junyao sighed: "Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. Why do you think Cao Mian did this?"
Gu Jue disapproved and said: "What else can you want? Wealth and power, and hegemony among the nations."
Luo Junyao looked at him, shook his head and said: "If you want to use Qingzhou as a state to rebel and dominate, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult. Cao Mian shouldn't be so naive. If you retreat to Yingzhou, you can really hold on to it in a short time, but...
It's okay to be a local emperor like the Fang family in this place, but if you really want to be king and dominate here, that's a joke."
"How do you say that?" Gu Jue said with great interest.
Luo Junyao said: "This place is too small, and it is not far enough from the Central Plains. When the court is too busy with things, it will not care about it. Once it is free, how can it let it go? If you really want to break the earth and become king overseas, I personally recommend it.
Zhangzhou."
Gu Jue reminded: "Zhangzhou is not far from the land."
Luo Junyao said: "But Zhangzhou is very far away from the Central Plains. The imperial court has not even solved southern Xinjiang. If there is an uprising in Zhangzhou, and then tries to form an alliance with southern Xinjiang to support each other, the imperial court will never dare to solve it until southern Xinjiang is solved.
He rashly sent troops to Zhangzhou. Even compared to ocean trade, Zhangzhou is far more convenient than Yingzhou, which has the advantage of being close to the Central Plains. What do you think would happen if the Central Plains Dynasty banned all trade related to Yingzhou? "
Gu Jue sighed and said, "Fortunately your surname is Luo."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "What does this have to do with my last name?"
You are a girl with such a weird family. If your surname was not Luo, I would doubt whether you were the second Bai Jingrong.
Glancing at Chu Qufang who was standing not far away, Gu Jue wisely did not say these words.
Seeing Fang Changyun and Cao Mian get into the car and leave, Luo Junyao stared at the person who followed Huo Shan and said, "Is that Fang Yuan?"
Gu Jue took out a portrait and took a look at it, nodded and said: "It's Fang Yuan."
Qu Fang naturally heard the conversation between the two, turned around and walked back to the tree and asked: "You really don't need me to take action?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "How can I bother Mr. Qu with a trivial matter?"
Qu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes moving on the two people on the tree.
Gu Jue quickly laughed and said: "Assassination... I'm not very good at it." He is a general who fights on the battlefield. His military skills can surprise him, but when he fights hard, he is absolutely aboveboard.
He has really never done anything like assassination.
"Shall I make arrangements?" Gu Jue asked.
Although he is not good at it, some of the people he brought this time are good at it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Jun said: "No need, I'll go."
Gu Jue was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Isn't this bad?"
Luo Junyao said: "What's wrong? Mr. Fang is still waiting for news from us. Let's go."
Luo Jun jumped down from the tree, dusted himself off and walked outside.
Gu Jue had no choice but to follow him down, looked at Qu Fang and said, "Mr. Qu, what do you think this is?"
Qu Fang raised his eyebrows, smiled, and asked, "Who did she learn her kung fu from?"
Gu Jue shook his head and said he didn't know, "The Luo family doesn't lack good masters, right? I occasionally see that the prince has taught some."
Qu Fang shook his head and said: "She is not the same as your prince. If they are enemies, she may not be able to kill Xie Yan." After that,
The music slowed down and I followed him leisurely.
Gu Jue, who was left behind, was stunned. He quickly realized what Qu Fang meant.
He means that the princess is good at assassination.
How could the Luo family teach a girl such a thing?
Gu Jue remembered that Wei Changting said that the princess once beat the prince to the point where he vomited blood. Although the prince was injured at the time, it was still severe enough.
He originally thought Wei Changting was joking.
On the other side, after sending Fang Changyun and Cao Mian back to Fang's house, Huo Shan turned around and walked out of Fang's house after looking around and seeing that nothing was going on. After taking a few steps, someone was chasing after him.
"Huo Shan."
Huo Shan looked back at the man who had caught up with him, and said with a hint of mockery: "Master Fang, if you don't obey the master of the house, why are you following me?"
The meaning of ridicule in the three words Mr. Fang was too obvious. The man's face darkened slightly but he did not get angry. Instead, he said: "I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to a son yesterday? Congratulations on your son."
Huo Shan lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Fang Yuan, I'm a father." He and his wife have been married for more than three years, and this is their first child.
Fang Yuan smiled and said: "This is a great event. It's a coincidence that my nephew's birthday is only two days apart from the head of the family. Why don't we call Shen Sui and have a few drinks together tonight?"
Huo Shandao: "His name is not Shen Sui now, but Cao Ying."
Fang Yuan didn't care. He looked at Huo Shan and said strangely: "What's wrong with you today? Isn't it a good thing to have a baby? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
Huo Shan nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed a good thing. Maybe it is because there are too many things recently and the pressure is a bit high."
Speaking of the many things going on, Fang Yuan also suppressed his smile and said: "I have been really busy recently. If it weren't for my adoptive father's birthday tomorrow, I might not be able to come back."
Huo Shan glanced at him and said: "I am scolded like a grandson by the head of the family every day. What is the situation like on your side?"
Fang Yuan shrugged and said with a wry smile: "It's not those things, a group of people have come recently who are a bit difficult to deal with."
In the past year, the Fang family has gathered many people from the martial arts world, and those people are not as easy to deal with as ordinary soldiers.
Fang Yuan's strength is not weak, but it is still difficult to suppress those people. What's more, after all, Fang Yuan is only the adopted son of the family leader, and there are many people who are jealous and hold back.
"Madam was a little uncomfortable when she went out in the morning. I'll go back and take a look first," Huo Shan said.
Seeing that Huo Shan had no intention of inviting him, Fang Yuan didn't say much more.
The relationship between him and Huo Shan is not actually that good. It's just that they seem to have the same experience, share the same secrets, and are both lonely in the Fang family, so they seem to have a better relationship than others.
Huo Shan married the daughter of the Fang family, and Fang Yuan recognized Fang Changyun as his adoptive father. It's hard to say which one is better, but obviously both have their own dissatisfaction.
In Yingzhou, Fang Yuan's reputation is bigger than Huo Shan. Huo Shan behaves in a low-key manner. In contrast, everyone knows that Fang Yuan is a vicious dog raised by Fang Changyun, and he will bite whoever Fang Changyun points out!
It is also because of this that Huo Shan's relationship with the rest of the Fang family is okay, but Fang Yuan and many people in the Fang family are at odds with each other.
Of course, this is what Fang Changyun is happy to see. When he seizes power, the other party's family and even his own son don't trust him very much. That's why he re-employed Huo Shan and Fang Yuan. Naturally, he doesn't want them to get together with the rest of the Fang family.
Fang Yuan turned around to leave, but was stopped by Huo Shan again.
Huo Shan looked at him in silence for a while and then asked: "Have you ever regretted what happened back then?"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huo Shan to ask such a question.
After a moment of silence, he said solemnly: "No, I have never regretted it." After that, he looked at Huo Shan and frowned: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Huo Shan shook his head slowly and said: "Maybe it's because I suddenly had a child and I thought a little too much."
After bidding farewell to Huo Shan, Fang Yuan walked down the street a little bored.
Huo Shan's words echoed in his mind. Do you regret it? Of course not.
Rather than living anonymously and being a dispensable nail for most of his life, what's wrong with being the Fang family's dog? At least he has money and power!
Even if you regret it, what's the use?
The crowds coming and going on the street were very noisy, but Fang Yuan felt really irritated in his heart.
After thinking for a long time, he wondered if Huo Shan's words just now made him feel unhappy. He was no longer in the mood to go find Shen Sui, so he simply turned around and planned to go to the dancing girl he was in love with in the city to have a few drinks.
The brothel is not open during the day, and it is quieter than other places. But even if it is closed now, the brothel will not stop a big customer like him.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Fang Yuan looked around and saw a strange young man sticking his head out from a corner not far away and looking at him, "Commander Fang, a young man asked me to give you this letter."
The boy held an envelope in his hand and smiled very innocently and cutely.
Seeing him like this, Fang Yuan's expression softened a bit, he turned around and walked over, frowning and saying, "Who asked you to give it to me?"
The young man said: "A young man wearing dark blue clothes seems to have a scar on the left side of his face. He said..."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan looked solemn, walked quickly to the young man, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
The young man retracted his hand, stretched out his other hand and said, "He said you would give me beautiful pearls."
Fang Yuan glanced around vigilantly, pulled the young man into the narrow alley behind him, and said impatiently: "I don't have any pearls with me, give you this..." Before he finished speaking, Fang Yuan only felt
With a chill in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the smiling eyes of the young man.
"You..." A gorgeous dagger with a cold blue light was inserted into his heart. The severe pain and the blood that kept pouring into his throat made him speechless.
Luo Junyao supported the man who was a head taller than him and said softly: "Commander Fang, this is the first time we meet, but we will never see you again."
Fang Yuan shivered in pain. He wanted to push the young man in front of him away but couldn't find the strength. "Who...are you?"
Luo Jun said: "Suppress the national army, the secret camp."
Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and before he could say anything, the dagger inserted in his heart had been pulled out, and his throat was cut neatly in the next moment.
Fang Yuan kept his eyes wide open and breathed his last breath.
Luo Junyao asked him to sit down against the corner of the alley, clicked his tongue and said, "I can't carry the head anymore, so just use this as a token." He cut off a jade pendant around Fang Yuan's waist with his knife and took it in his hand, then turned around a few times.
The rise and fall disappeared into the narrow alley.
I don't know how long it took, but a drunk man came out of the back door of the restaurant. He accidentally kicked something and almost fell to the ground.
The drunkard stood up staggeringly, cursed dissatisfiedly, lowered his head to look at the thing blocking his way, and couldn't help but kick it again.
A moment later, a terrified scream came from the narrow alley!
It’s the last day of the month~~I’m shamelessly asking for votes~
