Faced with this shopkeeper Zhang who didn't know anything but wanted to take him to Wuxi.
Fang La was also confused. The other party was very generous and directly threw down twenty taels of gold as a deposit, and was very polite along the way.
It doesn't seem like he has any evil intentions against this rough old man, although Fang La, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, has nothing to do with taking care of three or five big men.
But the problem is that there are dozens of cavalry here, and several of them even have cavalry bows.
He only wants to discuss business, but how many of them can he deal with when he is unarmed?
What's more, his sister Fang Baihua is here with him. If he gets violent, what will his sister do?
Even his biological sister Fang Baihua has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, but neither brother nor sister had any weapons at hand, so how could they escape.
"Master Fang Yuan, please don't misunderstand me. Zhang has no ill intentions towards you, and neither does my boss. He just wants to ask Master Fang Yuan to discuss something.
Otherwise, why send someone to Qingxi County to show your sincerity to the owner of Fangyuan first, and then invite you here. "
"With my subordinates, I dare not tell Qingxi County to go sideways. However, not to mention you, Lord Fangyuan, even the magistrate of Qingxi County can take him away."
Shopkeeper Zhang was obviously a little impatient, but he still suppressed his temper and explained to himself.
Fang La could naturally tell that this person was not talking nonsense, and the more than ten subordinates were all full of energy and had excessively sharp eyes.
If you think about it carefully, he is more like an elite member of the army than a serious guard.
"Now that Shopkeeper Zhang has talked about this, Fang is willing to follow Shopkeeper Zhang in this life, but I would like to ask the shopkeeper to make it clear, who is your boss?"
Seeing Fang La's resignation, Shopkeeper Zhang's attitude relaxed a lot.
"You will naturally know his name when you see it. I don't dare to tell others casually."
"Then my sister has nothing to do with this matter, can you let her leave first?"
Fang La gritted his teeth and looked at his sister Fang Baihua who was riding a white horse and looking so heroic in a white outfit behind him.
"Brother!" Fang Baihua's expression suddenly changed and she couldn't help shouting.
"Sister, you listen to big brother."
Fang La turned around and stretched out his palm to hold Fang Baihua's hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist.
He shook his head slowly but firmly.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do?" A detective from the Imperial City dressed as a guard approached shopkeeper Zhang and asked in a low voice.
"What can we do? The Number One Scholar wants to find this person for trouble. In this case, what can we do if a mere little lady is allowed to leave?"
"Since Master Fang has said so, why can't Zhang just step aside and let the lady of the Fang family go on her own?"
Shopkeeper Zhang raised his hand and gestured, and his men who surrounded the Fang La brothers and sisters dispersed, leaving a passage.
"Brother..." Fang Baihua was so anxious that she almost cried. She regretted that she only brought a waist knife and could not fight out of the siege with her eldest brother.
After hearing what Shopkeeper Zhang said, Fang Lamin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Fang Baihua a comforting smile to persuade.
"Okay sister, if they can let you leave, it means they have no ill intentions towards my brother."
"Be obedient and return home as soon as possible. Tell your sister-in-law that I will be back as soon as I go. It will only take three to five days at most."
Finally, Fang La, surrounded by the shopkeeper and a group of guards, continued to go north along the canal.
Fang Baihua, who was tall and graceful and dressed like a man, watched her brother's walking figure, lingered in place for a long time, gritted her teeth, drove the horse under her, and quietly followed her from a distance.
No matter what, I must see if my eldest brother is really safe. If I have the chance, I might be able to rescue him with my own abilities.
The group of people traveled north for about twenty miles. As the sky was getting closer to dusk, they finally saw the fleet moored at the pier.
Shopkeeper Zhang let out a breath of relief. When he turned his head, he saw Fang La next to him who looked uneasy, but he tried hard to put on an expression that looked at death, and he almost burst into laughter.
"Okay, Lord Fangyuan, my young master is on the boat. Let's go, don't delay..."
"Okay, Fang really wants to meet for a while to see which good guy wants to deal with Fang."
Fang La gritted his teeth and continued to ride his horse towards the dock.
#####
Gao Zhang was riding a horse and walking on the embankment at the moment. After all, he had been staying on the boat these days and was very tired of staying there.
I simply got off the boat and rode around, taking a breath of fresh air.
At this time, I saw a dozen riders coming from the direction of the fleet, and then they headed straight towards the dock.
While Gao Zhang was guessing who would come over at this time, he looked at the embankment in the distance with awareness.
I saw a pure white horse, and on the horse's back was a tall and graceful woman, riding the horse slowly towards this side.
But when she was still about a hundred steps away from the pier, she quietly dismounted and then quietly approached there.
Seeing this scene, Gao Zhang couldn't help but become curious and rode his horse in that direction.
At this moment, Yang Douzhi, Lu Qian and others who were following behind naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly loosened their reins to follow.
#####
Gao Zhang slowly rode his horse to a place about fifty steps away from the girl, but the girl was unaware of it and was still looking at the fleet intently.
Looking at the long and toned tall figure of this girl in white, as well as the profile of her face, it can make people feel that she is delicate and graceful.
It's like a white deer standing among the trees, looming and exciting.
Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel happy. He easily got off his horse and decided to walk over to see who this obviously silly girl was following.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel anxious. He opened his mouth to speak, but felt his sleeves tighten.
Seeing Yang Douzhi on the side, he slowly shook his head towards himself, pointed forward, and then got off the horse lightly.
Lu Qian finally understood and quickly closed his mouth and followed lightly. He also did not forget to ask the other high-ranking servants behind him to stay where they were and not to disturb him.
Although Fang Baihua has practiced martial arts since childhood, she is still too young after all, and is only fifteen years old now.
At home, she is well protected by her brother. This can be said to be her first mission.
Now, through the cover of the trees, I saw the eldest brother getting off the horse and then stepping onto the horse's head.
Then he was led onto a large ship by the shopkeeper Zhang, and then a group of people stood on the deck, not knowing what they were talking about.
At this moment, Zhang Baihua suddenly heard a childish yet crisp voice ringing from his ears.
"Miss, what are you looking at?"
