When the two returned to the inn, the person who searched them happened to be leaving the inn.
When he returned to the yard, he saw Gu Jue standing under the eaves with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky. When he saw the two people coming in, he smiled and said, "Is nothing wrong?"
Luo Jun shrugged, "What can happen?"
Gu Jue nodded, turned sideways and asked Luo Jun to come into the house.
Qin Yao'er waved to the two of them and went back to her room. She never quite understood what they were doing, so naturally she had no interest in listening.
Qu Fang was sitting in the study with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
Before Luo Junyao stepped into the room, something flew towards her.
Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly, raised his hand to catch the thing flying toward him, and looked at Qu Fang with some confusion.
Qu Fang said: "Fang Yan's reply to you."
Luo Junyao glanced at the envelope between his fingers before walking inside, opening the letter as he walked.
"Here comes Mr. Laoqu."
Qu Fang calmly looked at the little girl sitting behind the desk opening the letter and said, "The princess is very neat."
Luo Jun shook his head without raising his head, "Oh, fortunately, maybe he has been used to pampering himself over the years, and he didn't expect anyone to want his life, right? It seems that Huo Shan really didn't mention our affairs to him."
If Huo Shan had spoken even a word to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan should not be so unwary.
Gu Jue smiled and said: "Isn't it said that there are three kinds of people who cannot be offended? Old people, women and children."
In the eyes of outsiders who don't know her, the Princess Regent is either an innocent girl or a teenager who has not yet grown up. She is indeed difficult to mess with, and she is indeed a good candidate to be a killer.
Luo Junyao had finished reading the letter and looked a little solemn, frowning slightly.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Luo Jun said: "Fang Yan said that Cao Mian and Fang Changyun wanted to rebel."
This was not enough to shock Gu Jue, they had already expected it.
Cao Mian was a noble marquis and a high-ranking official in the border areas. He was hooking up with the Fang family in a good manner. He was not just bored and wanted to have some fun.
Luo Junyao continued: "Now there are 60,000 elite soldiers on the island, as well as a large number of people from the Jianghu. In addition, Fang Yan said that the Fang family has sent no less than 50,000 well-trained elite soldiers to Qingzhou in recent years."
Gu Jue frowned and murmured: "There are 70,000 to 80,000 troops stationed in Qingzhou. If all of these people are controlled by Cao Mian, plus the 50,000 elite soldiers... plus the 60,000 horses on the island..."
Gu Jue couldn't help but gasped, "Princess..."
With nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Mian would be in serious trouble if he really rebelled.
Gu Jue said: "I immediately sent a message to the prince, asking him to hold Cao Mian in Shangyong this time."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "It's useless."
"how?"
Luo Junyao glanced at him and said: "Cao Mian has no intention of going to Yong at all. He came to Yingzhou to mobilize Yingzhou's troops and discuss with the Fang family how to start an uprising."
Hearing this, Gu Jue stood up from his seat and said, "What should we do now? Yingzhou is too far away from Shangyong. Even if we send the message back now, I'm afraid..."
Luo Junyao said thoughtfully: "Now there is another condition that is favorable to us."
"What?" Gu Jue asked, and Qu Fang also looked over.
Luo Jun said: "Cao Mian, he is in Yingzhou now. What if he cannot return to Qingzhou?"
"What the princess means..." Gu Jue's eyes lit up, and he soon became worried again, "I'm afraid Cao Mian is not as easy to deal with as Fang Yuan." A person who has been deliberately planning to rebel for more than ten years must be worried about his life.
Take it very seriously.
Luo Jun said: "I have no intention of assassinating Cao Mian. It seems that we really have to rely on Mr. Fang."
Passing the letter in his hand to Gu Jue, Gu Jue lowered his head to read it and then raised his head with some surprise: "Fang Yan said he can control 20,000 soldiers and horses? Is it credible?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "You can't believe it until you try it. You should want to get rid of Fang Changyun more than we, Fang Yan, do. Fang Changyun and Cao Mian are allies, so Cao Mian is also Fang Yan's enemy."
"What do you plan to do, Princess?"
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said: "Tell Fang Yan that I need a place and some things. As long as he can prepare it before tonight, I guarantee that the head of the Fang family in Yingzhou will be replaced within five days."
Qu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?"
Luo Junyao said: "I'm sure there is Mr. Laoqu."
Pulling the piece of paper next to him, Luo Jun wrote a few lines with his pen, folded it, and put it back in the envelope that Qu Fang had just brought back.
Qu Fang stood up and took the envelope, looked at Luo Junyao deeply, turned and walked out.
After Qu Fang left the door, Gu Jue couldn't help but ask: "Princess, do you really have a way to take down the Fang family within five days?"
Luo Junyao looked at him for a while, then slowly nodded and asked, "A lot of people will die in a war, right?"
Gu Jue was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "This is natural. Where can there be immortals in a war?"
Luo Jun said: "So, the fewer people die, the better, right?"
"Of course." Gu Jue was a little surprised, but Luo Junyao didn't say anything more. He just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what I know. You can let our people go to the island in batches. In addition, send a message to General Cheng,
If the pirates in the southeastern sea want to flee north, please ask him to stop them. It won't take long, just holding them back for three to five days is enough."
Gu Jue nodded in agreement, "There are many people traveling to and from Yingzhou these days, and some of our people have already come up."
Luo Junyao thought for a while and asked: "How long does it take to send a message back to Shangyong from here?"
Gu Jue did the math and said: "The Zhenguo Army has a special emergency communication method, and it can arrive in four days at the fastest."
Luo Jun shook his head and thought about it, and said: "Send a message to Ayan, tell me these situations, and also... just say, I will try my best to keep Cao Mian in Yingzhou. The worst case scenario is that I can hold Cao Mian away for at least ten days.
.”
"Yes, Princess." Gu Jue took the order.
The next day will be Fang Changyun's fiftieth birthday.
The entire Yingzhou City fell into a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and it seemed that it was not affected at all by yesterday's assassination of Fang Yuan and the massive search of the Fang family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At noon, the Fang family began to open the door to welcome guests.
Many people who came from thousands of miles to celebrate the birthday stepped into the gate of Fang's house in bright clothes.
A group of young men from the Fang family stood at the gate, welcoming the guests with smiles on their faces.
Luo Junyao and Gu Jue arrived at the Fang family in the afternoon. The Gu family in Dongzhou was also a wealthy businessman. With the Gu family's posts and status, they naturally received a warm reception from the Fang family.
Especially since both of them were outstanding-looking people, they were showered with countless looks as soon as they got off the carriage.
When the young master of the Fang family came up to see Luo Junyao, his eyes lit up with eager eyes.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Gu, thank you both for taking the time to attend my father's birthday banquet. Please come in." The one who came forward first was a young man who looked less than 20 years old. Although he said this to Gu Jue
, but his eyes kept falling on Luo Junyao.
Gu Jue lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it, and said with a gentle smile, "Master Fang, you are polite. My father and brother are unable to come for some reason, so I sent you and my little sister to come here to congratulate you. Please don't be surprised."
Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, you are serious, please come in." After saying that, he personally led the way for the two of them, all the way to the Fang Mansion.
If a wealthy businessman like the Gu family sent someone to celebrate his birthday, the Fang family would naturally have investigated it.
Mr. Gu came here to celebrate his birthday and discuss business on behalf of his brother who had an accident. In the past few days, he had talked with several big businessmen who often traveled to Yingzhou, and he was very generous.
The two of them followed Young Master Fang all the way inside. The palace was indeed decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and was magnificent, not inferior to the Prince's Palace in Shangyong.
Along the way, the two of them also figured out the identity of Mr. Fang. He was the fourth son of the Fang family, named Fang Bi, and the bastard of the Fang family. However, he was not born to the same mother as Fang Shuo, who died in Shangyong, so in Fang
Home is not taken seriously.
Gu Jue understands why he is so diligent. He is not taken seriously in the Fang family. No matter who becomes the leader in the Fang family in the future, it will definitely not be him.
Yingzhou is so big, how can there be enough space for so many descendants of the Fang family? Rather than being trapped here, it is better to find a way to go to the Central Plains. With the support of the Fang family, if you rely on a wealthy businessman from Dongzhou, you will not be able to inherit the Fang family in the future.
The days will not be sad either.
It can be said that the fourth son of the Fang family is sober, but it is a pity that he is blind.
She wanted to marry the Gu family, but she chose the wrong partner.
The two of them were sent all the way to the place where Fang's family entertained guests, which was already full of distinguished guests and noisy.
The Fang family does not separate male and female guests like the powerful officials in Shangyong Dynasty, but entertains them all in one place.
Because the identity of the visitors is very complicated, there are rich ladies like the fifth lady of the Gu family, some foreign businesswomen, and even some people who are obviously not good people.
In such a situation, it would be easy to offend people if we simply differentiate between male and female guests.
Seeing that the fourth young master of the Fang family had nothing to say, Gu Jue sent him away quickly and neatly.
The Fourth Young Master Fang obviously wanted to chat with Luo Junyao, but Luo Junyao had already looked around enthusiastically and didn't notice him at all, so he could only excuse himself.
Gu Jue has done nothing in the past few days under the title of the son of the Gu family, so as soon as he entered the garden where guests were entertained, someone quickly greeted him.
Gu Jue nodded towards the man and turned to look at Luo Junyao. Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Brother, go ahead and do your work. I can do it myself."
Gu Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
Luo Junyao smiled sweetly and said, "Sure."
Gu Jue turned slightly to make sure that others could not see his mouth movements, and then whispered: "No force is allowed here."
Luo Junyao said: "Don't worry, I'm not someone who likes to do things randomly."
Really? I don't believe it.
Although he thought so, Gu Jue still told Luo Jun a few words and walked to the other side.
If he doesn't go over there, the people over there will come over.
Luo Junyao watched Gu Jue mingle with his new friends, sighed softly, and turned around to find a quiet place to stay for a while.
"Is this your first time in Yingzhou, little girl?" Luo Junyao had just turned around when he saw a woman wearing clothes that were obviously different from those in the Central Plains walking over and smiling at her.
The woman was slender and tall, with a light brown complexion that was almost unheard of among Shangyong women. Her eyebrows were deeply contoured, and her black hair was slightly curly, making her look healthy and charming.
Compared with the Central Plains women's shirts and skirts that reach to the wrists and cover the insteps, she looks much cooler.
Her perfect curves were exposed, attracting the attention of many people, but she still looked calm and elegant.
Luo Junyao was very envious, but seeing that he was much shorter than the other person, he could only sigh in his heart.
The woman seemed to be delighted by her expression, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Where does that little girl come from? She's so cute."
Luo Junyao smiled with crooked eyes, tilted his head slightly and looked at the tall woman in front of him, "Hello, sister, my name is Gu Yao, I am from Dongzhou."
The woman smiled and said, "Sister? In terms of age, I'm afraid I'm still a generation older than you."
Luo Junyao said: "But I think my sister is not much older than me. Please don't take advantage of me."
"You have such a sweet little mouth." Every woman doesn't like being complimented on her youth, especially when the little girl in front of her has clear and bright eyes and her words are not false at all.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I haven't asked my sister Gao's name yet."
The woman said: "My name is Tantai Feng, have you heard of it?"
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and nodded: "I heard that my father said that there is a female leader of a caravan in the South China Sea named Tantai Feng. She is very powerful."
The woman named Tantai Feng laughed out loud, looked at Luo Junyao and raised her eyebrows: "Did your father really tell you that I am the leader of the caravan?"
Luo Junyao blinked, "That's what dad said."
Tantai Feng approached her with a smile, raised his hand and pinched her delicate cheek, and laughed softly: "Silly girl, has your father ever told you that if you meet me, you must stay away from me? I am not a businessman.
, I specialize in robbing businessmen like your father."
"..." Luo Junyao took a step back slightly and looked pitifully at the woman in front of him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course she knows who Tantai Feng is and what he does.
The Fang family really has a wide circle of friends. This Tantai Feng has always been active in the area of Zhangzhou in the South China Sea, which is thousands of miles away from Yingzhou.
"Are you afraid?" Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Luo Junyao quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm not afraid... I don't think my sister is a bad person."
Tantai Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "She is indeed an inexperienced little girl. The Fang family is not very safe. You'd better follow your brother."
After saying that, she turned around to leave, but Luo Junyao quickly grabbed her.
Tantai Feng looked back at her without saying anything. Luo Junyao said: "Sister, my brother is busy with something. I don't want to listen to him talking about business with others. It's so boring. Can I...can I follow you?"
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "I won't take you to play with those ladies and ladies. If you are not afraid, just come along."
Luo Junyao immediately said: "I knew my sister was a good person."
Tantai Feng was speechless. Thinking about it, nothing big happened today. It was rare to meet an interesting little girl. It would be fine to take her with him.
I just don’t know how the young master of the Gu family would react if he found out that his sister was hanging out with a pirate.
"Let's go, let's take you there to play."
"Okay." Luo Junyao agreed and followed happily.
Gu Jue, who was chatting with someone not far away, naturally saw this scene. The person standing next to him reminded: "That woman is not a good person. Is it okay for your sister to follow her?"
Gu Jue said: "It's just a short time, and there shouldn't be anything going on at the Fang family, right?"
"That's right. She always wants to give the Fang family some face, so she shouldn't cause trouble here."
Gu Jue had a smile on his face and thought to himself: If something really happened, it might not be certain who would be unlucky.
