Chapter 333: There Are Ambushes, There Are Rare Visitors
"Gululu..."
When the carriage drove outside the south gate, the sun was setting.
One day after visiting the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Punishment, I felt really tired, so I simply slept in the carriage.
It would take half an hour to get back anyway.
"Master!"
Suddenly, in the hazy moment, Fang Jue heard Dianyi's urgent shout.
"What?" Fang Jue glanced out.
Dianyi looked around cautiously. He had already left the city. The Qinhuai River in the evening was a little quiet.
This is unreasonable.
"Is there an assassin?" Fang Jue asked casually.
"The atmosphere is not right, there are no birds in the air, and the sounds from the other side of the Qinhuai River can be heard clearly here..."
Dianyi said: "I'm afraid there really is an ambush."
"Ambush us?"
Fang Jue sat back calmly, opened the space under the seat, and took out a half-foot-square box.
After opening it, there was a rather delicate handgun lying inside.
It is similar to the one given to Ye Hongyi, except that it is larger, has more ammunition, and can also be fired continuously.
However, it will become useless after a few times because the material is not strong enough.
"Come on, let me kill one of you today." Fang Jue was quite looking forward to it. After returning from the Northern Expedition, his vitality had increased a lot.
A little more angry.
But he deliberately did not waste it away, but was willing to cultivate this energy.
"Huh?" He was about to draw his sword, but Dianyi said unexpectedly, "Master, it seems you are not ambushing us?"
We are almost past this section, the best way to start. We haven’t seen anyone or arrows being fired yet, so it’s obvious that Fangjiazhuang’s carriage is not the target.
"Didn't they ambush us?" Fang Jue was surprised, "Who else in the capital today is worthy of being ignored and would attack regardless of the tacit understanding of the officialdom?"
Showdowns in officialdom are all murderous without blood.
Generally speaking, the goal is to bring down the opponent, whether it is exile or relegation, and few people will kill them.
Moreover, directly sending people to ambush and using physical means is even more disgraceful and will not be tolerated by this circle.
So when Fang Jue heard that there was an ambush, he naturally thought it was for him.
After all, the entire Jinling officialdom, and even him, the young master, would be hurting their interests if he didn't play along with them.
"Master, do we still need to worry about it?" Noriichi said with a smile as his hands were itchy.
Fang Jue said calmly: "Send me back first, and then you come back and see who they are ambushing... As long as they are not the most evil people, you can help me a little bit."
When the road is rough, draw your sword to help, but the first step is to protect yourself.
Fang Jue would not be stupid and just shout "Who dares to kill me" here.
Go home first.
Although this carriage has been modified and is very safe, it cannot hold up to others. If there are too many people, it will be dangerous if they bring a crossbow.
"Well, I'll take the young master back to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. I'll come back soon and have a look. I hope I can catch up!"
Dianyi was very excited, so he galloped up his horse and arrived at Zhuangzi in a short time.
"Be careful." As soon as Fang Jue got out of the car, he saw Dianyi coming from the door, leading a horse and galloping back.
"Wait for my good news, hehe."
Fang Jue smiled, shook his head, and suddenly thought of something.
"Whose horse is this?" Fang Jue looked towards Fang Fu, who came to pick him up.
Fang Fu smiled bitterly: "I was about to say, sir... A guest is here. This is the guest's horse. It's just tied here for now."
"Which guest?"
Those who came on horseback were still in the evening. The key was Mo Yuan, Bai Qing, Ye Hongyi or Xiao Chaoguo. Fangjue all knew their horses, not this one.
As for other acquaintances, none of them were warriors, and they usually traveled by carriage.
"Master, go to the study and take a look yourself." Fang Fu smiled and said nothing.
Fang Jue was confused and scolded: "Don't pretend to be the Riddler with me, who is he?"
"Who are you most afraid of seeing?" Fang Fu asked.
What I'm most afraid of is seeing...
As soon as Fang Jue thought about it, a face immediately appeared in Fang Jue's mind.
…
In the study, a man and a woman, an old man and a young man, were talking and laughing.
Fang Jue knew that the old man was back, but a woman actually came to visit Fangjiazhuang in the evening?
It's not Ye Hongyi, the voice is wrong.
“Squeak——” Fang Jue opened the door and saw that he was indeed an acquaintance.
"Dian Qingqiu?" Fang Jue was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand awkwardly.
After glaring at the old pavilion master, Fang Jue put on a smile.
The woman who was sitting opposite the old pavilion master and facing the study door turned her eyes slightly and saw Fang Jue at the door.
"Haha..." Dian Qingqiu smiled, his eyelids were squeezed to just a slit, and his eyes were full of teasing.
"Why are you here?"
Fang Jue walked over as naturally as possible, pretending not to be familiar with him, and sat on a high chair far away from the two of them.
But there's no need to pretend, the two of them really don't know each other very well. They only met a few times at Taihuang Mountain and didn't spend a long time together.
Dian Qingqiu, the daughter of the owner of Zuixian Tower, the number one building in the world.
At the same time, she is also the granddaughter of the old Pavilion Master of Emperor Zun Pavilion.
Few people know that Zuixian Tower is actually the property of Emperor Zun Pavilion.
In the intelligence chain of Emperor Zun Pavilion, Zuixian Pavilion, which is open all over the world, is also an indispensable and important part.
Originally, Dian Qingqiu was trained by the old pavilion master as his successor.
After Fang Jue appeared, the old pavilion master felt that Fang Jue was more suitable, so Fang Jue and Dian Qingqiu were always embarrassed when they met.
The unwillingness to take over the Emperor Zun Pavilion also had Dian Qingqiu's relationship with him, so he felt unwilling to take away what he deserved.
So every time I see Dian Qingqiu, I always feel like a thief who has taken away other people's property... This feeling is quite awkward.
The key is that Dian Qingqiu doesn't want to fight, he only wants all the shares of Zuixian Tower in Emperor Zun Pavilion's industrial chain.
The rest are all given to Fang Jue, the "young pavilion master".
The feeling of guilt and debt made Fang Jue always reluctant to see this woman.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing is not this. When we first went up the mountain... My fair lady, a gentleman is so brave.
"This Zhuangzi is my grandfather's property, why can't I come here?" Dian Qingqiu deliberately joked.
Fang Jue raised his eyebrows: "Ahem... Then, are you in trouble?"
"I heard... you are getting married?" Dian Qingqiu's tone suddenly softened, and his face became much softer.
Fang Jue glanced at the old pavilion master.
The old pavilion master spread his hands and shrugged, as if I didn't betray you.
But he was very timid and did not dare to breathe heavily in front of his granddaughter.
"Probably, I will choose a date after the new year." Fang Jue said casually.
Dian Qingqiu whispered: "Ye Hongyi is good, but you should know what she cares about... Do you really want to completely bind the Daxia court?"
"hehe……"
Fang Jue San smiled: "If I don't live in peace and have no hostages, the emperor will not completely trust me."
"So you understand." Dian Qingqiu nodded.
There was a slight pause in his tone: "Then, why does it have to be Ye Hongyi?"
"I don't care who it is, it's not the person I want the most anyway, it's the same for everyone." Fang Jue lazily leaned on the back of the chair with an indifferent tone.
