Fang Mansion Study
Fang Junyi was leaning over the desk studying a map, which showed the topography of Heifeng Village and several surrounding hills.
He has been looking at this map every day since he decided to wipe out the Black Wind Village to pave the way for his career. To this day, he knows where each hill is with his eyes closed.
However, no matter how well he remembered or how detailed his drawings were, he could not break through the iron wall of Black Wind Village.
Recalling his elder brother's ridicule and his father's cold face, Fang Junyi became anxious and drew the map into a mess with just a few strokes.
Just when he was feeling upset, he suddenly saw the dagger on the table.
He raised the dagger of simple workmanship, and the coldness between his brows softened a little.
This was given to him by Xia Luoran. Ordinary women would only give him sachets and handkerchiefs, but Xia Luoran was different. She gave him a dagger forged by a master.
I still remember that when she gave it to him, she said that she hoped he would hold this dagger and look down on everyone, cutting off all the thorns that stood in his way.
Thinking of the sweetness of their tryst, Fang Junyi cherished the dagger even more.
Just as he was stroking the dagger and daydreaming, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, are you in there?"
The visitor was so anxious that he knocked twice and then pushed the door open and walked in. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Fang Junyi's servant, Ayang.
Even though Ayang was Fang Junyi's personal servant who had grown up with him, Fang Junyi couldn't stand this reckless behavior and scolded him, "How dare you! You can break into the master's room just like that. Who taught you the rules?"
Ah Yang quickly knelt down and said, "Second Master, please forgive me. I was just anxious to give you the news."
"There's a letter from Black Wind Village!"
"What?"
Fang Junyi's eyes lit up, "Give it to me quickly."
Ayang handed the paper roll to Fang Junyi, who took it and looked at it. Seeing that the folding method of the letter was the same as that he and Lao He had explained, he felt relieved to read it.
The tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a burning light flashed in Fang Junyi's eyes.
"Okay, okay, it's worth it that I've worked so hard for so long, and finally there's some progress."
Ah Yang was also happy for Fang Junyi and asked, "Do you have any clues?"
"That scoundrel was so bold that he wanted to rob the relatives of the Lin family."
"Lin Mansion..."
Ah Yang was shocked. "The Lin Mansion in Dongyang County? That's the eldest lady's family."
"good."
Fang Junyi snorted coldly, "These rats must be afraid to attack because I'm in charge of Qingyun City. That's why they hold a grudge and want to bring bad luck to my Fang family. This time, I will make sure they never return!"
"I heard that the one getting married this time is none other than the Madam's beloved niece, Lin Ruyu. If you can resist that group of bandits and protect the Lin family, the Madam will remember this favor!"
Ah Yang became more and more excited as he spoke, "Then the master will know your bravery, Second Young Master. Our lives will be much better from now on!"
Hearing Ah Yang describe his lowly position in the Lin Mansion, Fang Junyi glared at him. "What do you mean by easy or bad? I'm the son of the prefect, the second young master of the Fang family. Who dares to embarrass me?"
"Yes, yes, it was I who made the mistake."
"Slap your face."
After a few "pa pa pa" sounds, Fang Junyi finally called a halt, "Forget it, the wedding is the day after tomorrow, go pack your bags and we'll leave immediately."
"yes."
Ah Yang walked out a few steps and then turned back. "Should we tell Second Mistress that the Second Young Master is going out this time?"
Speaking of his biological mother, Fang Junyi didn't show much emotion and refused directly, "No need. I'll go to the Xia family and tell Luo Ran later. You can go directly to the Xia family to find me."
"yes."
Fang Junyi couldn't wait to tell Xia Luoran the good news and went to Xia's house without stopping.
Xia Luoran was also very happy to see Fang Junyi, but she was also a little surprised, "Second Young Master, why are you here so early?"
"Luo Ran, I'm going to Dongyang County. I've received a tip that that bastard Ao Xi is going to rob the Lin family's relatives the day after tomorrow. Dongyang County is mostly flat, so I'll set up an ambush and wait for him to catch him alive!"
"Dongyang County."
Xia Luoran thought for a moment, "Doesn't this kind of cross-government operation need to be approved by the government before it can proceed?"
"I can't care less."
Fang Junyi's face was filled with excitement. "After so many layers of approval, it was too late to do anything. I stole my father's jade talisman, and the city gate officers and soldiers didn't dare to stop me."
"Isn't this... too risky?"
Xia Luoran was a little worried, but Fang Junyi was full of confidence. He had finally caught the opportunity to show off and he was not willing to let it go no matter what. He held his head high and said, "Don't worry, this time I will definitely make my father and the Fang family look at me with new eyes."
After hearing this, Xia Luoran stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, she was going to be Madam Fang in the future. If Fang Junyi's status in the Fang family rose, it would also be good for her. So she picked up the teacup and said, "Then I will use tea instead of wine. I wish the Second Young Master success."
Fang Junyi raised his glass with a smile, "Cheers."
The sound of the teacups clinking together was crisp, just like Fang Junyi's excited heart.
...
Outside the city
Fang Junyi rode a maroon horse on the official road, with a hundred people following behind him.
After riding at full speed all night, Fang Junyi arrived at the Lin Mansion early the next morning.
He revealed his identity and explained the situation, saying that he wanted to requisition the bridal sedan that day and demanded full cooperation from the Lin family.
However, after hearing this, the Lin family was not as grateful as he had imagined, but instead showed resistance.
The first is the second uncle of the Lin family, the father of the bride. He did not think that there would be bandits coming to Dongyang County.
