They thought they were waiting on the road, but they didn't expect that the young master would go straight over.
How far is this? This is too...
They don't know what to say. Isn't this a bit childish? Do the family members know about this?
The guards looked at each other to persuade him, but saw Fang Chengyu suddenly reined in his horse, seeming a little nervous.
"Turn around quickly." He said, with some haste and panic, as if he didn't know which way to go.
What happened? The guards were stunned for a moment and then heard a commotion ahead. They looked up and saw a group of people on the road. There seemed to be a lot of people, and there were tall signs and colorful flags.
"It's Ning the number one scholar who has returned." Fang Chengyu said, "Let's get out of the way."
It was Mr. Ning Shi who won the top spot in the imperial examination. The guard suddenly realized who was the approaching crowd and recognized the young man who was surrounded by them.
However, shouldn't we say congratulations to our fellow countrymen when we meet? Why should we avoid them?
Is it because of the old grudge between the Ning family and the Fang family?
The guards were puzzled, but Fang Chengyu had already driven onto the small road, heading straight for a village not far away.
"Logically speaking, I should congratulate him," Fang Chengyu said.
He helped Miss Jun and resolved her dilemma, so he should be grateful.
He was indeed grateful, very grateful, but...
"But I just don't want to see him," he said, somewhat aggrieved.
The guards couldn't hear him talking to himself, but whatever the young master said was what they believed. They followed him closely and left the road, hearing the noise behind them coming closer and then gradually fading away.
…
Ning Yunzhao arrived near Yangcheng, and Fang Chengyu left Yangcheng to greet him, while Miss Jun was still driving slowly on the road.
This section of the road is an official road, which is flat and stable, and the shaking of the carriage is also much less severe.
Liu'er looked through the small bookshelf in the car.
"What book would you like to read, miss?" she asked.
Miss Jun looked at the small bookshelf.
"What day is it today?" she suddenly asked.
"It's been thirteen days." Liu'er said, "The seventh shopkeeper said we can reach Yangcheng in five days."
Miss Jun said "oh" and nodded.
"It's been a long time since I left," she said.
After walking for so long, did you mean you have read all the books on the bookshelf? Liu'er thought, and saw Miss Jun reach out to take the medicine box, open it, and take out a book from it.
Do you want to read a medical book? Liu Er stopped asking and leaned on the pillow to play with the clay figurines she bought on the road.
I've been walking for long enough, and the Royal Guards haven't appeared again. It's safe enough now, and I can take out this book.
Miss Jun's hands were trembling slightly as she placed the thick and rough homemade notebook on the desk.
Since she got it, she has encountered so many things that she has not had the chance to read the book for fear that it would be discovered.
If there was the mark of Dr. Zhang in this book, Lu Yunqi would be even more suspicious of her identity.
Now everything is fine. I have left the capital and am close to Yangcheng. There is no more spying and I can see my master again.
Master.
Miss Jun took a deep breath and opened the book.
A line of words on the first page caught her eye, and her expression froze as she looked at the large, gracefully written words.
The calligraphy is very good and the content is very unique.
"I'm a fool"
I'm a fool.
Miss Jun never dreamed that such words would be written on the title page of a book.
When she first flipped through her master's notebook, she simply scrolled to the middle. It was filled with densely packed words and she couldn't make out what was written.
She always believed that it was a medical book and the master's own medical experience.
It records the master's real abilities, abilities that he did not teach her.
The master definitely didn't really teach her, otherwise she would either be playing chess or throwing pots, or reciting medical books written by others.
And she didn't really want to learn her master's medical skills, she just wanted to learn how to save her father.
When her father died, she sealed all of this away.
Unexpectedly, after doing it again, she found that these things that she originally thought were useless were actually of such great help to her.
Although her father is dead, she can still use the skills taught by her master to save herself, save her brother, and take back the kingdom her father lost.
This should also be a kind of help to the father.
If she could achieve this with just these casual teachings from her master, then what kind of rare secret skills are hidden in the treasured notes that are not allowed to be seen?
I never thought that my godlike master would give me such a title.
She thought that there would be either no words on the title page, or a title with a seal on it, such as Qingfeng Jushi Tuosu Xiansheng or something like that.
Of course she had never heard that the master had a number.
But no matter what, I didn't expect it to be said like this.
I'm a fool.
Zhang Qingshan, who is like a god in the eyes of the world, actually gave himself such an evaluation and definition?
Miss Jun stared at the title page for a moment, then burst out laughing, and then her eyes turned red again.
Even if it was a fool, the fool is gone.
Then look at what this fool wrote.
Miss Jun reached out and turned the page again.
She was stunned again.
This time it is not a page the size of a title page, but a large folded sheet of paper.
Miss Jun took out the paper and unfolded it.
And there are still no words on the paper, but... pictures.
But I'm not surprised by Yutu's words.
The master can draw pictures of travellers, which she has seen several times.
But this public image...
Miss Jun's hand touched it.
Mountains, rivers, towns and villages are marked in detail on it. Many of the densely packed place names are unrecognizable, and the name of the state capital is marked at the top.
Zhuozhou.
She recognized the name; she had seen it in history books and in the maps in her grandfather's study.
Miss Jun's breathing quickened, and she reached out and turned the page again.
It is still a large folded piece of paper, and it is still a map.
This time it is Youzhou.
Turn again.
Ruzhou, Danzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou...
Until Yunzhou, I had turned a total of sixteen pages.
Sixteen pages, sixteen state capitals.
These are the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
This is the six states that once belonged to the Great Zhou, but were taken away a hundred years ago and later taken back by Duke Cheng. They are still stationed there to prevent the invasion of the Jin people.
Because it was always located in a place of military conflict and was occupied by the Jin people many times, there were only a few mentions of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, even in the maps collected in the imperial palace.
After Duke Cheng regained the six states, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to draw a map of the six states and presented it to the emperor.
She had seen the painting when Chengguo presented it. Although she couldn't remember it clearly, she was sure that it was not as detailed as the one in her master's handwriting. As for whether it was accurate or not, she had never been there and didn't know.
Master, have you been there?
Otherwise, how did the master draw it?
She knew how difficult and time-consuming it was to draw the map, and several of the prefectures were still in the hands of the Jin people.
The master is probably no more than forty years old.
This is the area of 16 state capitals.
Is it possible that the master is really a god?
Of course that's impossible.
Or maybe this is a unique copy handed down from ancient times, owned only by the master?
But looking at the paper, the ink, and the writing style between the lines, it is clear that this was drawn by the master himself.
This is so unexpected, what is going on?
