It was early in the summer when a team of carriages drove out of the city gate in the dim light, as quietly as if they were leaving the capital.

But unlike the capital, there were no people seeing him off this time.

After all, the deaths caused by smallpox in western Hebei Province were not a glorious thing, so the news of Miss Jun's departure from Yangcheng could not be widely publicized.

However, although there were no common people seeing them off, there were still quite a few people in the convoy.

In addition to the Fang family guards, there were a dozen young men.

"So they asked Uncle Lei and your escort agency to escort them." Miss Jun smiled as she looked at Lei Zhonglian who was riding a horse outside the car.

This was Fang Chengyu's arrangement. Although there were many more famous and powerful escort agencies in Shanxi, for Miss Yu Jun, reliability came first.

In terms of reliability, no other escort agency can compare to Lei Zhonglian.

After not seeing him for nearly a year, Lei Zhonglian looked a little thinner, but still in high spirits.

"Thank you, Master Fang, for your appreciation," he said, "Miss Jun, please don't think we are causing trouble."

It's funnier than before.

"Okay." Miss Jun smiled, "But if you need my help this time, Uncle Lei, you have to pay."

The word "pay" sounded familiar, and Lei Zhonglian felt a little dazed.

What are you looking at? Pay for it.

There seemed to be a male voice speaking in my ear.

Lei Zhonglian suddenly realized what that strange man was doing.

However, Miss Jun also talks about money all the time. Is she influenced by that person?

Lei Zhonglian looked at Miss Jun and smiled.

"Ms. Jun also likes to ask people for money now," he said.

This word "also"... Miss Jun immediately thought of someone. When she thought of this person, she also remembered what happened on their way to Runan.

Lei Zhonglian probably still doesn't know who the guy who calls himself Ling Jiu is.

"Unconsciously, a year has passed. How is your escort agency going, Uncle Lei?" She said with a smile, looking at the dozen or so escorts who had already lined up.

Miss Jun was somewhat familiar with the formation of these dozen or so escorts. It was the same formation that Zhu Zan had used when he escorted them back to Yangcheng.

The corners of her mouth curved up again in a deep smile.

Lei Zhonglian followed her gaze and looked at the escorts.

"Although we have only known each other for a short time, the experience taught by your son is extremely useful," he said. "In the past year, we have also followed his approach and escaped danger once."

Then he laughed again.

"Otherwise, the escort team I just assembled will be disbanded."

Of course his experience is useful, which was gained in bloody battles. Miss Jun smiled, but also with a hint of worry.

But now this ferocious tiger is locked up in the capital, fighting with a group of people who have no teeth but can still bite people to death.

The situation in the north is unstable now. He must be very anxious in the capital, right? He must be eager to return home, right?

Miss Jun concealed her thoughts and smiled again.

"How's the escort agency?" she asked.

"I took in a few apprentices, and thanks to the young master's care, I got a few business orders and hired a few bodyguards. I can be considered to have started my own business." Lei Zhonglian said.

As they chatted, the convoy moved forward and disappeared into the morning light.

Looking at the receding convoy from the city gate tower, Fang Chengyu sighed again.

Fang Yuxiu, who was standing against the city wall and eating fried beans, turned her head and took a look.

"We've gone too far, let's go back," she said.

Because they didn't want anyone to know, the Fang family didn't hold a grand farewell ceremony. Old Madam Fang and others just saw them off out of the house, and only Fang Chengyu and Fang Yuxiu came to the city gate to see them off.

"I don't want to go back." Fang Chengyu leaned against the parapet and looked out, "I'm really jealous of Liu'er."

Fang Yuxiu hummed twice.

"Who wouldn't envy her? She eats, drinks and plays to her heart's content, laughs and scolds as she pleases. She is the only one who bullies others, and no one can bully her. No matter how stupid she is, there are people who love her, and no matter how stupid she is, there are people who support her." She said, "Isn't the greatest pursuit of human beings to live happily like trash?"

Fang Chengyu laughed.

"Second sister, eat your beans," he said.

Fang Yuxiu stretched out her hand in front of him.

"Do you want to eat?" she asked.

Fang Chengyu smiled and leaned against the city wall, then heaved a long sigh again.

"You didn't tell her that you like her?" Fang Yuxiu asked.

"Need I say this? She knows it even without me saying it." Fang Chengyu said with his eyes wide open.

Fang Yuxiu hummed twice.

"Then you didn't ask her when you were going to get married?" she asked.

Fang Chengyu pouted at her.

"How can you ask such a question?" he said, reaching out to touch the wall.

"Oh?" Fang Yuxiu said, tilting her head to look at Fang Chengyu, "Because Master Ning was rejected, you think you are not as good as Master Ning, so you dare not speak up?"

"That's not how you compare this kind of thing." Fang Chengyu immediately retorted.

"How do you compare this kind of thing?" Fang Yuxiu said.

Fang Chengyu looked at her, and when he turned around again, he could no longer see the convoy.

"This matter is actually very simple." He said, "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's not that I like you, so you must like me."

"Oh, after saying so much, the truth is that she just doesn't like you." Fang Yuxiu said.

Fang Chengyu pounded the wall again.

"Second sister, why do you have to be so direct when speaking?" he wailed.

Fang Yuxiu tilted her head back and poured the fried beans into her mouth, chewing them with a loud crunch.

"You don't even dare to ask," she said. "You are such a loser."

Fang Chengyu pressed his face against the wall.

"No need to ask. Don't I know Jiu Ling?" He said faintly, "She will protect whoever she wants to protect, and she will fight back against whoever she wants to fight back. She will like whoever she likes."

So she doesn’t want to dislike someone, to put it bluntly, she just hasn’t met someone she likes yet.”

Fang Yuxiu said "Oh".

"The truth is always cruel," she said, "so you are really pitiful."

Fang Chengyu smiled again and stood up straight.

"Not at all," he said. "I'm lucky to meet someone I like and to be so close to her. She likes me, too, although not in that way. But I can talk to her anytime and stay by her side for the rest of my life. This is already a very lucky and blessed thing."

Fang Yuxiu said "oh" again.

"Then you must cherish your blessings." She said, clapped her hands and walked forward, "Let's go home."

Fang Chengyu glanced at the direction where Miss Jun left. Of course he felt grateful. All the blessings he had today were brought to him by Jiuling. He smiled and said to Fang Yuxiu.

At the same time, a group of people drove out of Yangcheng.

Jin Shiba was riding on his horse and fanning himself with his hands.

"It's going to be hot again today," he said.

"Sir, are we ready to take action?" the men beside him asked in unison.

Golden Eighteen shakes his head.

"Not yet, not yet," he said.

Not yet?

"I can handle these guards by myself." said a man who was clipping his nails while riding a horse.

"In addition to these guards in the open, Fang Jiade Shengchang also arranged many guards in the dark." Another man said slowly, putting away the scroll in his hand, "Those guards in the dark are all relying on the banknotes. We only need to take action when the two banknotes are disconnected."

Jin Shiba smiled and waved his hands.

"That's not what I mean. Lord Lu means that we should wait until she has dealt with the smallpox vaccine issue before taking any action," he said.

Finished with the vaccinia vaccine?

The four men looked at each other.

"Then we..." they said hesitantly.

"Let's go with her." Jin Shiba said, waving his hand and urging the horse to gallop away.

Go with her and wait until the vaccination is done before taking action? Somehow I feel that this doesn't seem like an arrest, but more like an escort.

The four men looked at each other again.
