On the road, Xue Ling was still driving the carriage, and Fang Bi was sleeping in the carriage, surrounded by two large boxes filled with belongings.
Their trip this time was not to return to Luo City, but to go to the junction of Shanxi and Henan to hand over these belongings first.
As mentioned before, this mission is a public one, so the treasures obtained from the mission cannot really be kept as one's own. Strictly speaking, this should belong to public funds.
Embezzlement of public funds is a very serious crime in any organization.
The girl had been driving for nearly a whole night, but she still didn't feel much sleepy. After all, practicing martial arts had a good effect on concentration of will and resistance to fatigue.
"By the way, farewell." Xue Ling looked at the white fish belly that was gradually rising in the east and asked again.
"What?" Fang Bie answered.
Although he was sleeping in the carriage, he seemed to wake up if there was any disturbance.
So much so that Xue Ling could get a reply from him even if she called out softly.
"I feel like you know Shang Jiuge very well?"
"I don't know any better than others in this world." Fang Bie said calmly.
"But how do you know so much about her?" Xue Ling continued to ask.
"Because this is also something that many other people in the world know." Fang Bie said.
Xue Ling realized something: "Where did you know so many things?"
"I feel like there's nothing you don't know about."
"Many places." Fang Bie said calmly: "For example, in addition to assassinations, the Beehive was also the largest intelligence organization in the Zhou Dynasty. It was almost responsible for collecting intelligence in the entire world, such as the important task of Huashan in Shang Jiuge. The intelligence that can be collected will definitely be collected in every detail.”
"So you've seen it all?" Xue Ling asked.
"Not all." Fang Bie said: "There are too many to look at. I can only look at the more important ones."
"Remember everything?" Xue Ling was a little surprised.
"No." Fang Bie continued to shake his head: "I can only remember less than half of it."
"Why are you working so hard?" Xue Ling sighed: "Just like Shang Jiuge said, you are obviously already very strong."
"Because there are many people stronger than me in this world, and because I don't want to die easily in this world." Fang Bie said calmly: "It is not easy to live, and I am not Those who choose to live here just to survive in this world.”
What Fang Bie said was a little difficult to pronounce.
But Xue Ling somewhat understood what Fang Bing meant.
Just like when she chose to take in Shiran that day, she once thought that Fang Bie would refuse without hesitation, but in the end both Fang Bie and Sister Ping acquiesced to her approach.
Now that I think about it, this was originally part of Fang Bie's answer.
Because he was strong enough, he chose to take him in as his Bee Wing. As for the answer on that day, Xue Ling actually reviewed it many times in his mind later, and finally came to the same conclusion - Fang Bie may already know it. There is a problem with my identity.
But he still chose to take him in, and as long as this secret is not exposed, the two of them may maintain this partnership for a long time.
As for what will happen when the day comes, Xue Ling doesn't want to think about it for the time being.
"By the way, what kind of trouble will Shang Jiuge encounter?" Xue Ling suddenly decided to change the topic, so the change was a little abrupt.
"As I said, it's just a little trouble." Fang Bie said, "She may be embarrassed by the local officials."
"Embarrassed?" Xue Ling raised her eyebrows: "Why?"
"Didn't she obviously provoke the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River?"
"It's because she provoked the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River." Fang Bie said with a smile: "The Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River have been causing trouble along the Yellow River for more than three years. The government's crackdowns have been unsuccessful many times, but the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River have intensified. So much so that we can openly levy shipping fees on the water of the Yellow River, disregarding royal laws and regulations."
"I haven't seen the government dare to come out and fart."
"But now, the Seventeenth Bandit of the Yellow River has been destroyed by a weak woman alone. Do you think those local officials will obediently give Shang Jiuge the credit for this incredible contribution?"
"What's more, she left with one-third of the treasure belonging to the Seventeenth Bandits of the Yellow River, and she took the boat of the Seventeenth Bandits of the Yellow River."
Fang Bie showed a playful smile: "If you were a government official along the way, would you like to praise Shang Jiuge as a great hero, or kill her as an accomplice of the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits and take the credit? Would you like to report it to the imperial court and get promoted to a higher position, and share the gold and silver among them?"
Xue Ling suddenly stood up on the carriage and reached out to stop the horse: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Because Xue Ling was born in Jin Yiwei, she knew a little about the ins and outs of the officialdom. She didn't think about it at first, but after hearing Fang Bie's words, what those local officials would do is basically a matter of tomorrow.
You know, the most powerful and disadvantaged thing about Shang Jiuge is.
If she didn't take action, you really wouldn't know she was such a powerful person.
Therefore, it is easy for others to bully her as a weak woman.
"Let go." Fang Bie said these two words quietly in the carriage.
Xue Ling bit her lip, loosened the horse's reins, and let the horse continue to move forward.
In any case, Xue Ling still knew one thing, and that was Fang Bing's words, whether you wanted to hear them or not, but what he said and what he did was 80% correct.
This is what Fang Bie taught Xue Ling through countless proven facts when she got along with Xue Ling in the past, so that Xue Ling now almost has a near-blind trust in Fang Bie.
"Because it's useless." Fang Bie continued on the carriage: "Shang Jiuge won't listen."
"She would just do what she thought was right."
"For example, now, she thinks it is the right thing to hand over the Yellow Arowana to the government, redistribute the treasure to the people, and send the women back to their homes."
"Then no matter what I say, she's going to do these things."
"But..." Xue Ling hesitated.
Xue Ling has dealt with Shang Jiuge and knows how straightforward this woman is. If things develop like this, she will definitely have a head-on conflict with the government.
At that time, it is really possible to turn a small thing or a good thing into a big or bad thing out of thin air.
After all - Shang Jiuge might not even be afraid of the King of Heaven.
How could he be afraid of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court?
"It's okay." Fang Bie said.
"I said her sword is the straightest and fastest sword in the world."
"And." Fang Bie said this and smiled: "Don't forget it."
"She is Huashan Shang Jiuge."
"She is the Huashan Junior Sister who is of the same generation as the head of Huashan."
PS: A friend recommended a book, "Starting from Mashiro Shiina to Win". This is a daily fanfic. Those who are interested in this genre can feel free to do so!
