Brother Fang La's old face suddenly appeared in front of Fang Baihua's eyes, frightening Fang Baihua who was dazzled by the handsome boy.
"...Brother, why are you scaring me?"
"I've called you several times, okay?"
Fang La's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he saw the girl avoiding his eyes with a guilty conscience.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang, and couldn't help but think of the so-called young talents in Qingxi County.
Compared with this elegant scholar who is young but has extraordinary bearing, red lips and white teeth, and is as handsome as a man in a painting, he is simply a piece of scum that is only suitable for throwing in the trash can.
Thinking of this, Fang La looked at his sister out of the corner of his eye, and saw Fang Baihua raising her black eyelashes again at some point, and a pair of charming watery eyes, falling on Gao Zhang's body in a daze.
What made Fang La's mood extremely complicated was not to say that the No. 1 Scholar was not good, but the problem was that the real father of the No. 1 Scholar was the Great Song Dynasty Taiwei.
And he himself is only twelve years old, and now he is already a governor, and he will definitely be a popular figure in the future.
Although my sister is a stunning beauty, after all, the difference in their identities is too big...
Gao Zhang didn't know that at this moment, the two brothers and sisters were thinking only of themselves. At this moment, he was racking his brains, trying to come up with a clever plan to hold the fleet in his hands.
After thinking about it, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch sight of the brother and sister who provided him with information, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
The elder brother Fang La is tall, burly, and quite muscular. Such a physique is rare in Jiangnan.
And Fang Baihua is one of the best among Jiangnan women, no matter in terms of appearance, height, or figure.
It made Gao Zhang feel that among the female stars he remembered in the past, there were probably only a few who could compare with her.
Whether it's her curvaceous figure, her stunning appearance that is both heroic and charming, which I still feel pity for, or her rare round and long legs.
Moreover, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and has acquired good shooting skills with guns and sticks, and her riding skills are not to mention...
That leopard-like waist must be extremely flexible.

Gao Zhang took a deep breath and shook his head, no, now is the time to get down to business, and he must not be tempted by beauty, not to mention he is still young.
Let’s put aside the issue of the relationship between men and women for now, and first think about the relationship between men and men, ah… men.
Well, let's explore Fang La's background first. If it's suitable, then he will become my person from today on.
Gao Zhang's eyes fell back on Fang La, and he asked with a gentle smile.
"Brother Fang, I just heard from the young lady that you have the courage to be unstoppable and are proficient in military strategy. I wonder, Brother Fang, do you have experience in naval battles?"
Before Fang La could speak, Fang Baihua on the side immediately revealed her brother's background.
"Yes, my eldest brother once worked on a ship at sea for several years, and even fought with pirates at sea."
Fang La glanced tiredly at the girl behind him. Fang Baihua stuck out his lilac tongue and lowered his head.
"When I was young and frivolous, I used to run business at sea with a group of friends for several years."
Gao Zhang smiled brightly at the young lady and then continued the topic.
"It seems that Brother Fang must be very experienced in navigation, how to command a fleet at sea, and even in combat."
When Fang La saw Gao Zhang's gaze, his heart began to pound at this moment, and he quickly bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"In front of the governor, the villain dare not speak nonsense, but if you can give the villain a fleet, he will have a group of well-trained sailors.
If they encounter an equal number of ships, there is an 80-90% chance of winning. "
"You have also done maritime trade. How many countries have you visited? Have you been to Japan? What about Korea? Mayi has also been there?"
After some careful inquiry, Gao Zhang had to admit that none of these people who could leave a reputation in history and have done great things was a good person.
Even Fang La, who was a rival to the Song Dynasty, was able to cause trouble in Jiangnan.
But if he can use it, he will definitely become a great talent.
Not only does he have rich experience in naval warfare, he is also very interested in military affairs.
However, because there was no way, in the Song Dynasty, there was no way. If you wanted to be an official, except for taking exams, it was almost impossible to get ahead.
Either he had to work hard in the fiercely fought Northwest Frontier Army, and if he survived, he would have the opportunity to earn fame and fortune, and be promoted and make a fortune, or he could only be buried in horse leather.
"Brother Fang, do you know where the Zhu and his son's smuggling fleet is anchored in Hangzhou?"
"Generally, if you want to transport goods, you will dock directly at a dock outside Hangzhou. On weekdays, you will usually dock at a wild dock at the foot of Jinniu Mountain, which is dozens of miles east of Hangzhou."
"As for where it is currently anchored, I have to ask someone familiar to inquire about it before I can know its whereabouts."
After Gao Zhang pondered for a long time, he raised his head.
"Brother Fang, since he has a high reputation in Qingxi County, can you do me a favor?"
"If you don't dare take it seriously, just ask the governor to give orders to the villain."
"If you don't have the help of government soldiers and horses, can you recruit volunteers and take down Zhu's smuggling fleet?"
"Ah, this..."
Fang La looked at Gao Zhang in confusion, somewhat confused as to what kind of wild trick the governor wanted to play.
"Put it another way, how many people do you need to take down Zhu's smuggling fleet? I will pay for the money to recruit volunteers."
Seeing Gao Zhang going straight in like this, Fang La's little heart, which was already pounding, almost jumped out of his chest.
#####
Being able to catch up with the son of Lieutenant Gao, the number one scholar became the most popular person around the emperor. If you don't know how to seize such an opportunity, then you might as well drown yourself in a ball of urine.
"Going back to the governor, although I am just an ordinary citizen, I have a small reputation in the Qingxi area. If the governor can use him, he will be of some use."
"When I go back, I can call on hundreds of trustworthy volunteers. As long as I am surprised, I will be at least 80% sure of capturing Zhu's smuggling fleet."
"Brother, you said less. Most of the young people in Qingxi County admire you and are willing to listen to you. Not to mention hundreds, even two to three thousand strong men can be summoned."
"..." Fang La's eyes darkened, and he felt like he had been stabbed in the back by his sister again.
Seeing her brother's hidden gaze, Fang Baihua quickly lowered her head, as if she was still the well-behaved and sensible sister.
Gao Zhang saw the brother and sister falling in love and killing each other. Fortunately, he controlled his emotions very well, so he stopped laughing and made the scene even more embarrassing.
"Brother Fang has helped me so much, so naturally I can't let Brother Fang's efforts go in vain."
"I will appoint you as the governor of the two Zhejiang Roads, so that Brother Fang can recruit volunteers in Qingxi County.
And go to the Hangzhou area to apprehend the Zhu father and son smuggling fleet and a group of criminals. "
