After the old man left, Lu Fang and Liang Siqi sat down side by side on the hillside. Lu Fang exchanged some food and drinks from the mall.
Liang Siqi saw the nervousness in his eyes and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, the speed of our journey is probably not as fast as the imperial order. They probably haven't arrived at Tongchuan Mansion yet."
"Um!"
Lu Fang nodded, "If the old man comes back later, there will be no movement in Tongchuan City. I will go into the city to find my brother."
"There's no danger inside, why don't you take me there?"
Liang Siqi stared and said.
Lu Fang deliberately pretended to smile bitterly, "My wife is so beautiful, what if she is targeted by a gangster and her time to leave the city is delayed?"
"Hate!"
Liang Siqi's cheeks turned red, "Who is your wife!"
But my heart is sweet.
Lu Fang added: "As soon as we find a stable place to stay, I will marry you. I will never let you down in this life."
"Um……"
Liang Siqi bit her lip and agreed softly, as softly as a mosquito's moan. She gently rested her head on Lu Fang's shoulder.
Although the two had expressed their feelings for each other before, they still spent very little time together. This special "journey" can be said to have brought them closer together.
…
Kyoto.
Royal study room.
The figure of the old eunuch hurriedly appeared in the imperial study room.
"Say it!"
Before he could kneel down and salute, Liang Hanmin, who was sitting behind the dragon table, waved his hand and said.
The dragon table in front of him was not piled with memorials this time, but a few dishes that looked very appetizing.
The old eunuch still bowed, and then said: "Just now, the spies from Luojiao County received news that... on the morning of the second day of the second grade of junior high school, two people bought horses at the Luojiao County horse market in Pingliang Mansion, Fengxiang County.
The horse dealer in the horse market saw the picture album of the two horses, and they are suspected to be Lu Fang and Princess Yongle."
"What did you say?"
Liang Hanmin's originally impatient face showed a look of astonishment.
The old eunuch didn't know what to say.
Lu Fang and Liang Siqi left the capital on the night of April 1st.
He couldn't figure out how he could appear in Luojiao County, nearly two thousand miles away, on the morning of the second day of junior high school.
Even the most durable sweat-horse in the world would never be able to reach such a speed. And it was still at night.
After a long pause, he said: "Maybe the spy made a mistake..."
"Then there's no need to report everything to me in detail!"
The impatient look returned to Liang Hanmin's face, "It's been seven days! I just want to see his head! Do you know if you see his head?"
"yes."
In the end, the old eunuch knelt on the ground.
When this matter got to this point, even he himself felt ashamed.
What kind of cultivation level did Lu Fangcai have?
At best, he is considered a top master among fifth-grade martial arts masters!
But he mobilized nearly half of Chongqing's Wu Gou An Tang manpower, but it took such a long time that he still couldn't bring Lu Fang's head back.
This matter is completely unbelievable.
After kowtowing, the old eunuch stood up and prepared to walk out.
"etc!"
At this time, Liang Hanmin suddenly stopped him and said: "One night, two thousand miles away. So, has Lu Fang already arrived at Tongchuan Mansion at this time?"
"this……"
The old eunuch was frightened.
Liang Hanmin said quietly: "This kid has too many secrets. Don't wait to call me. No matter if it's Lu Liang or him, kill him directly!"
There was a strong murderous intent in his words.
Because at this moment, he suddenly thought of many things about Lu Fang.
It's not just the so-called "hidden weapons" from overseas that Lu Fang used to kill the masters, but also the potatoes, millet peppers, etc. that Lu Fang made in Ningyuan.
Then there is Qingxi Brewing, which is also made by Lu Fang.
Of course Liang Hanmin had no way of knowing where Lu Fang got these new gadgets, but he had to be wary.
Hidden weapons with huge destructive power, crops with extremely high yields... and Lu Fang's identity as a dragon is enough to win the support of countless remnants of the previous dynasty with just one call.
Although these may seem insignificant at the moment, they have huge potential.
As confident as Liang Hanmin was, he couldn't help but worry about whether Lu Fang could really overthrow the big ship of Dayu.
"yes!"
The old eunuch didn't say much, just took the order and went out directly.
After going out, he sighed softly.
He obtained the opportunity from Liang Hanmin to let the watchman make the first move. He really wanted to give Liang Shi a chance.
He had watched these two brothers grow up and didn't want them to kill each other.
But now, this opportunity is gone.
He also couldn't predict what would happen to Liang Hanmin and Liang Shi, brothers who had a very close relationship before.
…
Outside Tongchuan Mansion.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the old man hurried to the hillside on horseback.
Liang Siqi shyly moved her head away from Lu Fang's shoulder.
The old man turned over and dismounted, sniffed, and said, "I just went in to inquire, and there is no movement among the gangsters in the city."
He didn't say anything, he just said that the imperial minions made no move. It didn't mean that they didn't have any arrangements in Tongchuan Mansion.
But this news is undoubtedly good news for Lu Fang.
He felt that the probability that the imperial emissary had not arrived at Tongchuan City was still very high.
Immediately, he took out 10,500 taels of silver notes from his waist and handed it to the old man. Then he looked at Liang Siqi and said, "Wait for me here!"
After that, without giving Liang Siqi a chance to speak, she hurried to Tongchuan City on horseback.
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
He knew that one more minute of delay meant more danger.
"Eh..."
Liang Siqi opened her mouth, but Lu Fang had already ran away.
Arriving at Tongchuan City again, Lu Fang dismounted outside the city gate, and then walked along the street to the Jiedushi Yamen.
No matter how crazy you are, you won't be able to remember such a big road.
He left Tongchuan City for Kyoto at the end of January, and it is now early April. However, two and a half months have passed, and the Tongchuan County Jiedu Envoy Office is still the same as before.
It seems that even the soldiers guarding the gate are the same people as before.
Lu Fang stood still in front of the steps and said, "I am the younger brother of Lu Liang, the deputy military governor. Can he be in the house now?"
They were already here, and he didn't encounter anyone who looked like Wu Gou on the way in, so he didn't care about being exposed here.
Anyway, the people from the imperial court would have to chase him sooner or later. They also knew that they would definitely come to Tongchuan City.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
Thanks to the good memory of these soldiers, some of them actually remembered Lu Fang, who had only appeared twice. He quickly said hello and said: "Master Lu Jiedu, he has been resting in the mansion for more than half a month. I
I’ll report it to you now!”
Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
I was really ahead of the imperial court's orders.
