"Do you think I don't want to? But Zhao Shi'an is untouchable, and my father wants to win him over."
As Fang Qing watched Zhao Shi'an leave, Gao Quan's eyes were filled with gloom.
"We can't touch Zhao Shi'an, so let's start with the girl next to him."
As soon as the henchman finished speaking, everyone in the pavilion turned to look at him.
Who is that woman?
"It's Zhao Shi'an's sister, Fang Qing, who is also the owner of this orchard."
I've heard of the name Fang Qing before.
"A major incident occurred in An County yesterday. The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard almost took Fang Qing away, but I later heard that she was stopped by the people from the Eastern Palace. She's just an insignificant woman. Young Master, it would be easy for you to teach her a lesson."
"And I've also heard that this Fang Qing has a beautiful face."
As the henchman spoke, he grinned maliciously, and Gao Quan's eyes also changed.
*
Fang Qing had no idea what these people were up to. She spent the day playing in the orchard, then took Zhao Shi'an back to the academy in the afternoon before taking a carriage home.
Fang Qing had traveled from the county town to Fangjia Village countless times, and now that the road had been repaired, she felt quite safe.
But the incident happened on the official road, which she considered safe.
The carriage was moving along just fine when suddenly something was thrown towards it.
Before the coachman could react, thick smoke was already billowing up from the wide official road.
The coachman was choked by the snot and tears streaming down his face, and the horse was also frightened. He quickly steadied the carriage.
But then someone entered through the thick smoke, followed by the sounds of fighting.
The carriage driver gripped his whip tightly as a man in black approached. Before he could even cry for help, he was knocked unconscious.
The sounds of fighting and screams continued amidst the thick smoke. When the smoke cleared, Xiao Liu came over and lifted the carriage curtain, only to find that Fang Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Gao Quan's men were beaten until they were rolling on the ground.
Xiao Liu glanced around and, confirming that Fang Qing was indeed missing, his face drained of color.
We're doomed.
If the master finds out, wouldn't he chop off his head?
He left some men to track down Fang Qing's whereabouts and quickly returned to the county town to report to Zhao Shi'an.
No sooner had Zhao Shi'an parted ways with Fang Qing than Xiao Liu came over and said that Fang Qing had gone missing. Zhao Shi'an's face instantly turned ugly.
Xiao Liu recounted the whole story to Zhao Shi'an with trepidation, and Zhao Shi'an's eyes were filled with barely concealed murderous intent.
"The people who tried to kidnap Miss Fang were probably Gao Quan's men, but they were just some thugs with no real ability. Miss Fang was probably not taken away by them. I suspect that there were other people involved."
"Has anyone been sent to investigate?"
"They've gone, but they're clearly experts. They left very few traces, so we probably won't be able to track down Miss Fang anytime soon."
Zhao Shi'an suddenly crushed a teacup.
"Investigate! If you can't find Fang Qing today, you'll all come back to me with your heads!"
Zhao Shi'an was really angry.
Xiao Liu had never seen Zhao Shi'an like this before, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
The people from Fengyulou were determined to search every corner of the county town to find the person.
At this moment, Fang Qing was locked in a room.
The doors and windows were locked from the outside, and it was so quiet outside that she couldn't hear anything. She didn't know where she was.
Just now on the official road, she realized she had been ambushed. She pulled out a dagger from the carriage to see what was going on, when a man in black slipped into the carriage and knocked her unconscious.
When she opened her eyes again, she was here.
Although the room didn't contain any valuables, it was quite exquisite, so it seemed that the person who brought her here didn't intend to make things difficult for her.
Fang Qing looked around the room and was about to call out to Xiao Dou to ask how to leave when the door suddenly opened.
Fang Qing first heard a somewhat familiar voice outside, and then saw a face that was indeed not unfamiliar.
Gao Ren, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
His affectionate eyes held a smile as he entered the house and sat down next to Fang Qing.
"My little beauty, we meet again."
"What do you want to do?" Fang Qing looked at him warily.
This person won't let this go easily.
They actually kidnapped her and brought her here.
"What do you think? A man and a woman alone in a room, I'm a normal man, and I brought this beautiful young lady here. What do you think I'm going to do?"
These words spoken by someone with such a beautiful face are not offensive at all.
Fang Qing knew this person's intentions were impure, so she couldn't help but be distracted by his face.
“Commander, there’s no need to use your charms. I can probably guess why you kidnapped me. You just want to know about the Wind and Rain Pavilion from me.”
"But I still maintain that I am just a commoner and I really don't know anything about the Wind and Rain Pavilion. Instead of wasting your time on me, you might as well send someone to investigate."
Gao Ren's gaze remained fixed on her face, and he kept smiling.
"Since I went to the trouble of bringing you here, it means you must be related to Fengyulou. Whether you know it or not, you do have people from Fengyulou around you."
Fang Qing was taken aback.
Is she surrounded by people from Fengyulou?
Gao Ren is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. What kind of people hasn't he seen?
He immediately noticed the fleeting look of confusion in Fang Qing's eyes.
"I don't know what the purpose of the people from Fengyulou is, but I'm sure they're looking for you right now."
Fang Qing frowned slightly.
Could it be that she really has someone from Fengyulou by her side?
"You want to use me to capture the people from Fengyulou?"
Gao Ren didn't speak, but his expression seemed to indicate his agreement.
