No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 463 Tantai Feng

When the two returned to the inn, the searchers happened to leave the inn.

Back in the courtyard, I saw Gu Jue standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky. When he saw two people coming in, he smiled and said, "Is nothing wrong?"

Luo Jun shrugged, "What could be the matter?"

Gu Jue nodded, and turned to ask Luo Jun to shake into the room.

Qin Yao'er waved to the two of them, and went back to her room.She had never understood what they were doing, so she was naturally not interested in listening.

Qu Fang was sitting in the study with his eyes closed, and he opened his eyes to look at the door when he heard footsteps.

Before Luo Junyao stepped into the room, something flew towards her head-on.

Luo Jun shook his head slightly, raised his hand to catch the thing flying towards him, and looked at Qu Fang with some doubts.

Qu Fang said: "Fang Yan's reply to you."

Luo Junyao glanced at the envelope held between his fingers before walking towards it, opening the letter as he walked.

"There's Mr. Rauch."

Qu Fang calmly looked at the little girl who was sitting behind the desk opening the letter, and said: "The princess is very quick."

Luo Jun shook his head without raising his head, "Oh, it's okay, maybe he's been used to being pampered all these years, so he didn't expect someone to want his life, right? It seems that Huo Shan really didn't mention our matter to him."

Whenever Huo Shan said a single word to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan should not be so unguarded.

Gu Jue said with a smile: "Didn't it mean that there are three kinds of people who can't be messed with? Old people, women and children."

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the princess regent, she is either a naive girl or a young boy who has not grown up. She is indeed difficult to provoke, and she is indeed a good seed for a killer.

Luo Junyao had already read the letter with a serious expression on his face, and frowned slightly.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

Luo Jun shook his head: "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 is a dignified Lord Marquis and a great official of the frontier, he hooked up with the Fang family well, so he wouldn't just be bored and want to have some fun.

Luo Junyao continued: "Now there are [-] elite soldiers on the island, and a large number of people from the Jianghu. In addition, Fang Yan said that the Fang family has sent no less than [-] well-trained elite soldiers to Qingzhou in recent years."

Gu Jue frowned, and murmured: "Qingzhou has 6 to [-] troops. If all these people are under the control of Cao Mian, add the [-] elite soldiers... plus the [-] troops on the island..."

Gu Jue couldn't help taking a breath, "Princess..."

With nearly 20 soldiers and horses, if Cao Mian really turned against him, it would be really troublesome.

Gu Jue said: "I immediately sent a letter to the prince, telling him to detain 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 didn't intend to go to Shangyong at all. He came to Yingzhou to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou, and discuss with the Fang family how to start an incident."

Hearing this, Gu Jue suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "Then what should we do now? Yingzhou is too far away from Shangyong, even if we send a letter back now, I'm afraid..."

Luo Junyao thoughtfully said: "Now there is another condition that is beneficial to us."

"What?" Gu Jue asked, and Qu Fang looked over.

Luo Jun shook his head, "Cao Mian is in Yingzhou now. What if he can't return to Qingzhou?"

"My concubine means..." Gu Jue's eyes lighted up, and soon he became a little worried, "I'm afraid Cao Mian is not as easy to deal with as Fang Yuan." A person who has been planning to rebel for more than ten years must be afraid of his own life Seriously.

Luo Jun said, "I didn't intend to assassinate Cao Mian either. It seems that we really have to rely on Mr. Fang."

Passing the letter in his hand to Gu Jue, Gu Jue raised his head in surprise after looking down, "Fang Yan said that he can control [-] soldiers and horses? Is it credible?"

Luo Jun said: "It's not credible, you have to try it to know. Fang Yan should want to get rid of Fang Changyun more than us. Fang Changyun and Cao Mian are allies, so Cao Mian is also Fang Yan's enemy."

"What is the princess going to do?"

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 Jun said: "I'm sure, there is Mr. Lao Qu."

Pulling the paper next to it, Luo Junyao picked up a pen and wrote a few lines, folded them, and put them back in the envelope that Qu Fang had just brought back.

Qu Fang got up and took the envelope, took a deep look at Luo Jun, turned and walked out.

After the song was released, Gu Jue couldn't help asking: "Princess, do you really have a way to win the family within five days?"

Luo Junyao sized him up for a while, then nodded slowly and asked, "A lot of people will die in a war, right?"

Gu Jue was taken aback for a moment, and quickly replied: "It's natural, how can there be undead in a war?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "So, the less people die, the better, right?"

"Naturally." Gu Jue was a little surprised, but Luo Junyao didn't say anything more, just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well. Let our people go to the island in batches. In addition, send a letter to General Cheng, If the pirates in the southeast sea area want to flee north, please trouble him to stop them. It doesn’t take long, three to five days is enough to hold them back.”

Gu Jue nodded and said yes, "There are a lot of people coming and going to Yingzhou these days, and some of our people have already come up."

Luo Junyao thought for a while and asked again: "How long will it take to send a letter back to Shangyong from here?"

Gu Jue did some calculations and said, "The Zhen Guojun has a special emergency communication method, and it can arrive within four days at the earliest."

Luo Jun shook his head and thought about it, and said: "Send a letter to A Yan, and tell me about these situations. In addition...just say, I will try my best to keep Cao Mian in Yingzhou. The worst case is that I can hold Cao Mian for at least ten days .”

"Yes, princess." Gu Jue took the order.

The next day was Fang Changyun's fiftieth birthday.

The whole Yingzhou City fell into a festive and peaceful atmosphere, it seemed that it was not affected at all by Fang Yuan's assassination yesterday and the extensive search of Fang's family.

At noon, Fang's house 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 princes from the Fang family stood at the gate, welcoming the guests with smiles on their faces.

Luo Junyao and Gu Jue arrived at Fang's house in the afternoon.The Gu family in Dongzhou is also a wealthy businessman. With the Gu family's posts and identities, the two naturally received warm reception from the Fang family.

In particular, the two of them are people with outstanding looks, and they have been baptized by countless gazes as soon as they got off the carriage.

The young master of the Fang family who came up to him saw Luo Junyao's eyes lit up, his eyes were eager.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Gu, thank you both for taking the time to attend my father's birthday banquet. Please invite the two of you." The one who stepped forward was a young man who didn't seem to be in his twenties. Although he said this to Gu Jue , but his eyes kept falling on Luo Junyao.

Gu Jue lowered his eyes and acted as if he hadn't seen it, and said with a gentle smile, "Young Master Fang, you're being polite. My father and brother couldn't come for some reason, so I sent my younger sister to congratulate you. Please don't blame me."

That Mr. Fang smiled and said: "Mr. Gu is serious, please come inside." After speaking, he personally led the two of them and went all the way to the inside of Fang's mansion.

A wealthy businessman like the Gu family sent people to celebrate his birthday, and the Fang family naturally investigated.

This Mr. Gu came here to celebrate his birthday on behalf of his elder brother who had an accident, and to discuss business by the way.In the past few days, I have talked with several big merchants who often travel to and from Yingzhou, and they are very generous.

The two followed Mr. Fang all the way in, and the mansion was indeed decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was not inferior to Shangyong's palace.

Along the way, the two of them also found out the identity of this Mr. Fang. He is the fourth son of the Fang family named Fang Bi, the bastard son of the Fang family.But Fang Shuo, who died in Shangyong, was not born to the same mother, so Fang Shuo was not valued very much in the Fang family.

Gu Jue also understands why he is so considerate. He is not valued in the Fang family. In the future, no matter who is in power in the Fang family, he will definitely not be him.

Yingzhou is so big, how can there be enough children and grandchildren in the Fang family?Instead of sitting here, it is better to find a way to go to the Central Plains.With the backing of the Fang family, if he relies on a rich businessman from Dongzhou, even if he cannot inherit the Fang family in the future, his life will not be sad.

It can be said that the fourth son of the Fang family is sober, but it is a pity - he is blind.

Wanted to marry the Gu family, but chose the wrong partner.

The two were sent all the way to the place where Fang's family entertained guests, which was already full of guests and noisy.

The Fang family did not separate male and female guests like Shang Yong Quangui did, but entertained them all in one place.

Because the identities of the visitors are very complicated, there are not only daughters like the Fifth Miss of the Gu family, but also some foreign businesswomen, and even some obviously not good people.

In such a situation, it would be very easy to offend people if we simply differentiate between male and female guests.

Seeing that the fourth son of the Fang family had nothing to say, Gu Jue dismissed him very quickly.

The fourth son of Fang obviously wanted to strike up a conversation with Luo Junyao, but Luo Junyao had already looked around excitedly and didn't notice him at all, so he could only leave in embarrassment.

Gu Jue hasn't done nothing in the past few days in the name of the Gu family's young master, so as soon as he entered the garden for entertaining guests, someone greeted him soon.

Gu Jue nodded towards the man, turned his head to look at Luo Junyao, Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Brother, go get busy, 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 sideways slightly, making sure that others couldn't see his mouth shape, so he whispered: "You can't use force here."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who likes to do things indiscriminately."

is it?I do not believe.

Even though he thought so, Gu Jue still told Luo Jun to shake a few words before walking 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 it the first time for a little girl to come to Yingzhou?" Luo Junyao just turned around and saw a woman in clothes that were clearly different from the Central Plains approaching and smiled at her.

The woman was tall and slender, and her complexion was a light brown color that was rarely seen among Shangyong women.The outline of the eyebrows is deep, and the black hair is slightly curly, looking healthy and charming.

Compared with the women in the Central Plains, whose dresses reach to the wrists and cover the insteps, she looks much cooler.

Her perfect curves were exposed, attracting many people's attention, but she still looked composed and generous.

Luo Junyao was very envious, but seeing that he was much shorter than the other party, he could only sigh in his heart.

The woman seemed to be delighted by her expression, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Where is the little girl from? She's so cute."

Luo Jun shook his eyes with a smile, and tilted his head slightly to look at the tall slender woman in front of him, "Hi sister, my name is Gu Yao, and I'm from Dongzhou."

The woman smiled and said, "Sister? In terms of age, I'm afraid I'll be a generation older than you."

Luo Jun said: "But I think my sister is not a few years older than me, so don't take advantage of me."

"Small mouth is so sweet." No woman doesn't like others to praise her youth, especially when the little girl in front of her has clear eyes and her words are not false at all.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "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 while, nodded and said: "I heard that my father said that there is a female leader of a caravan in the South China Sea named Tan Taifeng, which is amazing."

The woman named Tantai Feng laughed out loud, looked at Luo Jun and raised her eyebrows and said: "Your father really told you that I am the leader of the caravan?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "Daddy said so."

Tan Taifeng approached her with a smile, raised his hand to pinch her delicate cheeks, and said with a low laugh: "Silly girl, did your father tell you that if you meet, you must stay away from me? I'm not a businessman." , I specialize in robbing businessmen like your father."

"..." Luo Junyao took a step back slightly, looking pitifully at the woman in front of him.

Of course she knew who Tan Taifeng was and what he did.

The Fang family really has a lot of friends, this Tantai Feng has always been active in the Zhangzhou area of ​​the South China Sea, and it can be said that it is thousands of miles away from Yingzhou.

"Are you afraid?" Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Luo Jun shook his head quickly 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: "Sure enough, she is a young girl who has not experienced much in the world. This Fang family is not very safe. You should follow your brother carefully."

After she finished speaking, she turned around to leave, but Luo Junyao quickly grabbed her.

Tan Taifeng looked back at her and said nothing, Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Sister, my brother has something to do, I don't want to hear him discuss business with others, it's so boring. I... can I follow you?"

Tan Taifeng smiled and said: "I won't take you to play with those wives and ladies, if you are not afraid, just come along."

Luo Junyao immediately said, "I knew my sister was a good person."

Tan Taifeng was speechless, thinking about it, today is not a big deal, it is rare to meet an interesting little girl, and it will be fine to take her with her.

I just don't know what expression that young master of the Gu family will make when he knows that his sister is hanging out with a pirate.

"Come on, let's take you there to play."

"Okay." Luo Junyao happily followed along.

Gu Jue, who was chatting with someone not far away, naturally also saw this scene, and the person standing beside him reminded: "That woman is not a good person, is it okay for your sister to run with her?"

Gu Jue said: "It's just that for a while, and you're at Fang's house, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?"

"That's right, she always wants to give the Fang family some face, so she shouldn't cause trouble here."

With a smile on his face, Gu Jue thought to himself: If trouble is really going to happen, it may not be certain who will be unlucky.
