Zhang Baotang looked even more uneasy after hearing this.
"Then what is he going to do?" he said, "Isn't this Miss Jun still very dangerous? We have to escort her."
Sifeng smiled.
"We can protect her all the way, but not for the rest of her life." He said, "Don't worry, Miss Jun is also very powerful. We just need to help her block for a while in the capital. When she returns to Yangcheng and reaches her territory, with the Fang family around, it won't be easy for the Jinyiwei to get in."
Zhang Baotang's expression softened slightly.
"Then let's go." He said happily, "We can catch up with Miss Jun before dark."
The four phoenixes slid down the slope.
"Why catch up with her? Go back to Beijing." He said without turning his head.
Zhang Baotang looked surprised.
"Aren't you going to see her off? Don't you want to see Miss Jun?" he asked.
"Second brother told us not to meet him, have you forgotten?" Si Feng said as he slid down the hillside. He whistled and a horse came galloping out of the dense forest.
Zhang Baotang slid down next.
"I just think that my second brother did these things to Miss Jun, and Miss Jun didn't know about it. My second brother is really pitiful. And why didn't you let me say that it was Miss Jun who asked Lu Yunqi for help, so we could go in and see him." He sighed and said, "I don't know what conditions Miss Jun agreed to from Lu Yunqi. Miss Jun is leaving, and maybe she will get married when she returns..."
Then Zhu Zan doesn't have any chance at all.
The four phoenixes laughed.
"There is a saying that goes, Silence is better than words at this moment." He said, "Although Second Brother did not go or say anything, Miss Jun may not be unaware of it."
As he said this, he patted Zhang Baotang on the shoulder.
"You are too young to understand."
He really didn't understand. If the girl he liked left, he would see her off no matter what.
Zhang Baotang shook his head, but since it was Zhu Zan's order, he couldn't disobey it. He called his horse over, and the group disappeared on the mountain road.
At this time, in another mountain valley, Chen Qi nodded to the guard who came back to report.
"Continue to be careful," he said.
The guards stepped back in response.
Chen Qi walked quickly to Miss Jun's carriage.
Miss Jun stood outside the car, watching Liu'er squatting on the ground picking wild flowers.
"Ms. Jun, it's really strange. It's been several days and no one from the Royal Guards has shown up." Chen Qi said in a low voice.
Miss Jun looked around.
"I can see that too," she said. "Since he hasn't shown up yet, someone must have stopped him for us."
Being able to stop the Imperial Guard is something that not everyone can do.
Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
"The wise king?" he asked.
Miss Jun laughed.
"How could he?" she said, "It must be Zhu Zan."
Chen Qi said "oh" and nodded.
That’s right, the only one who dares to confront Lu Yunqi so recklessly and has the ability to do so is the Prince of Chengguo.
Even though he was locked up in a cell, there were still people outside who took this into consideration and came to escort him.
This Prince Chengguo is really... affectionate and caring.
Chen Qi thought in his heart.
It’s really hard to make a decision. Mr. Ning is also very good. Who should I choose?
The Tenth Prince of Ning was a scholar and the top scholar in the imperial examination. The Ning family had a profound background in poetry and calligraphy, and the Prince of Cheng was from a family of dukes and marquises with a prominent status. Both of them were rare and good sons-in-law.
In terms of status and position, Zhu Zan was higher. It was said that the emperor wanted him to marry the princess several times.
However, being in a high position and having great power does not necessarily mean having an easy life. With so many people watching you, you are always at the center of attention.
In this comparison, Ning Yunzhao, the civil official, is better off. At least he lives a stable life.
Being a woman is hard.
Chen Qi sighed and thought it would be great if he could marry both of them.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Wasn't there a woman in ancient times who had such a hope?
However, Ning Yunzhao and Zhu Zan are both handsome, so Miss Jun doesn't have to worry about this.
Chen Qi chuckled.
"What are you grinning about?"
Liu'er's voice was speaking in my ear, and at the same time my nose was filled with the fragrance.
Chen Qi came to his senses and sneezed a few times.
"Go away." He waved away the flower that Liu'er had stuffed on his nose, and said, "I'm just thinking about something."
Miss Jun smiled and didn't care about Chen Qi's excited thoughts. Her thoughts were very simple, that is, Zhu Zan really did what he said.
If you can save Prince Huai, I will save your life.
This is his promise, and he kept his promise only for this.
She smiled and motioned Liu'er to get in the car.
"Let's keep going," she said. "Then we can all relax a little."
Chen Qi responded yes and greeted the guards who were sitting or standing to rest.
The troops in the mountain stream moved forward quickly.
At this time, a group of people were also galloping on the streets of Yangcheng.
The leader rode a tall horse with a scarlet body, wore a plain white robe with dark floral patterns, had a pendant decorated with gold and jade gems hanging from his waist, wore a white jade crown, and a golden hairpin.
Such a dazzling outfit would seem ostentatious at first glance, but after seeing the person's face, everyone felt that it was the most suitable outfit.
No matter how gorgeous the clothes and accessories are, they look perfect on this young man.
"Master Fang!"
"Master Fang!"
Seeing this young man, the shouts of women suddenly rang out on the street. Young girls, young wives and even some old ladies stood up. The brave ones waved their handkerchiefs at Fang Chengyu, while the less timid ones looked at him shyly with their eyes half-covered.
In response to the greetings on the street, Fang Chengyu smiled and waved his hand.
"I'm going out of town for a while." He added, his voice clear and his expression obedient, as if he was being as friendly as his elder sisters in the family.
This made the women on the street happier.
"Be careful on the road."
"Don't let the wind blow."
They spoke with concern, and two old ladies took out some fruits for Fang Chengyu to eat on the way.
Amidst all the excitement, Fang Chengyu passed by, and the men on the side of the road were jealous.
"Isn't it just that she's pretty? Is it that important to you?" they snorted.
"We are willing and we are happy." The women on the roadside responded bluntly.
"You really forget the old one when you have a new one. Don't you like Mr. Ning Shi anymore?" the men said unhappily.
Speaking of Mr. Ning Shi, the women on the street suddenly became excited again.
"Mr. Ning Shi has won the first place in the imperial examination."
"Is the Tenth Young Master coming back?"
"It should be here soon."
Looking at the excited women, the man became indignant again. It was really disgusting. How could Yangcheng produce such handsome men, and two of them.
Fang Chengyu rode at full speed and soon left the city of Yangcheng. The guards beside him followed closely and they ran for more than half a day before slowing down.
There are no cities to be seen around, only scattered villages.
"Young Master, take a rest if you are tired," they said.
"No." Fang Chengyu wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "I already know how to ride a horse, don't worry."
As he spoke, he looked forward again, a smile spilling from his eyes.
"Nine-year-old will be very happy to see that I can ride a horse."
As he spoke, he patted the bow and arrow hanging on the horse.
“I can also shoot arrows.”
Would he wait until he meets Miss Jun to show her how to shoot arrows?
It's like a child who can't wait to show the skills he has learned to the people he likes.
This is too childish.
The guards were speechless and amused.
The young master is in charge of the family business and does it flawlessly, better than an old man, but sometimes he is still childish.
For example, as soon as he received the letter saying that Miss Jun was returning to Yangcheng, he immediately rode out of his house with people to greet her.
Obviously, Miss Jun had not walked very far at this time. It would take at least ten days to reach Yangcheng at the fastest.
It's just a way to relax. It's April now and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the colorful flowers and green willows are a delight to the eyes.
"Where should we wait for Miss Jun?" a guard asked, and made a suggestion, "The house near Bishan Lake is the most suitable, just on the road Miss Jun is going to take."
Fang Chengyu shook his head.
"No, I won't wait." He said with a smile, looking ahead, "Just go straight ahead, keep going until you see her."
The guards looked surprised.
Go straight there?
