The cloth bag was very flat and didn't look like it contained any valuables. I hadn't seen anything valuable when I glanced at it before.
He gently turned the jade ring on his thumb and thought to himself.
There has been no news of any unrest among noble families in Danzhou recently.
The other person's temperament doesn't seem like that of someone raised in a poor family.
After a brief thought, he picked up the book and started reading. The flood in Danzhou was the focus at the moment.
Danzhou is located in the south, where the weather is changeable. It was also the plum rain season. When Dancheng County Magistrate Li saw that the water level of the Huaihe River had reached the warning line, he rode his horse at full speed to submit a memorial to the capital.
Finally, he was sent by Nangong Qi to solve the flood problem, but before he even arrived, assassinations occurred one after another along the way.
Thinking of the fierce look in Nangong Yun's eyes, he didn't even care about the lives of the people in order to kill him. He was unworthy of being the king of a country!
Danzhou is a large county, consisting of the main city of Dan County, the secondary city of Ze County and numerous villages of various sizes.
As the carriage approached Danxian, the weather overhead became increasingly gloomy, in stark contrast to the bright skies seen in the town when we first arrived.
The carriage drove wheel after wheel for the whole morning and finally arrived in Danxian at the end of the afternoon.
As the carriage got closer to the city, the noise grew louder.
Her eyelashes, covered with stars, trembled uneasily and she suddenly opened her eyes.
"How could you be so careless as to fall asleep!"
She secretly blamed herself in her heart for being so careless.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry I accidentally fell asleep."
Fu Manxing sat up, straightened his clothes, and felt relieved when he confirmed that there was no change.
"No problem, Miss Manxing has arrived in Danzhou."
Nangong Yun responded casually, lifted the curtain and looked straight at the gloomy sky outside the window.
"Okay, okay."
Fu Manxing felt the cold air coming in from the window and subconsciously wrapped his black coat tightly around him.
It is basically spring in Wugu all year round, and extreme weather rarely occurs.
This was the first time she had felt other weather so strongly.
Nangong Yun looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, his brows furrowed more and more.
During his years in the frontier, he also learned some basic weather observation techniques.
The dark clouds are a sign of an approaching rainstorm. It looks like it’s going to rain in Danxian again.
"Miss Manxing, would you mind walking you to the inn door?"
He withdrew his gaze from the sky and cast his eyes towards an inn in the distance.
"Ah? Okay, thank you for troubling me, Master Su."
Fu Manxing nodded and did not refuse.
"Well, Miss Manxing, I see you like this cake very much, so I packed a box for you. I hope you will accept it."
Nangong Yun took the pastries that had been wrapped long ago and handed them to Fu Manxing.
"No need, Master Su, you have already helped me a lot."
Fu Manxing was flattered and waved his hand quickly.
"Take it. I never like to take things back."
Nangong Yun's movements remained unchanged.
"Well...Okay, Mr. Su, this box of ointment is for you. It's made by our family and it's very effective."
Seeing Nangong Yun's firm attitude, Fu Manxing hesitated for a moment before taking it. He then took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and handed it to the other party.
"good."
Nangong Yun looked at the rough little bottle and took it calmly without refusing.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your help! Manxing is very grateful! If we have the chance to meet again, I will definitely thank you."
Fu Manxing stood outside the carriage and thanked Nangong Yun earnestly through the window.
"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it, young lady."
After saying this, Nangong Yun pulled down the curtain and spoke in an even colder voice.
"Lu Yi, go to the post station."
Although the county magistrate of Danzhou had written to him asking him to stay directly with him, he still decided to go to the post station first according to regulations.
"Okay, sir."
"Miss Man, we're leaving first."
Lu Yi said as he swung the whip vigorously.
Fu Manxing looked at Nangong Yun leaving in such a hurry and suppressed the gratitude in his heart, watching the carriage leave.
After she could no longer see the carriage, she did not enter the inn behind her, but left with the crowd.
What she didn't know was that there was a assassin in the dark in the distance who saw everything.
"Speaking of which, sir? Why did you help that girl and return the money to her?"
Before, when Fumanxing was sleeping, Nangong Yun asked him for silver.
This shocked Lu Yi. When did His Highness become so kind?
"This girl is not an ordinary person. We might meet her again in the future. Besides, we can't be sure if she is a spy or not. We need to keep her in our sight."
"I see, young master is indeed very smart."
Nangong Yun in the carriage opened the bottle given by Fu Manxing, and carefully fanned the bottle mouth. A fresh fragrance came to his nose.
Is this a wound medicine?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when the carriage drove into an alley, he lifted the curtain and threw it out.
"An Yi, take it and test it."
sieve!
A black shadow quickly passed through the eaves and caught the bottle steadily. After catching it, the figure quickly disappeared and ordinary people could only see the afterimage.
Fu Manxing walked on the street. Although he tried to stay calm, his eyes were still full of curiosity about the things around him.
She watched all kinds of people walking through the streets, looked at the various strange little shops around her, and heard the voices of vendors selling all kinds of items.
For the first time, I had a clear understanding of the world outside the valley described in the book.
Passing by a wonton shop, she smelled the fragrant aroma of wonton and stopped unconsciously.
She raised her hand and rubbed her belly, with some struggle in her eyes. There were only a few taels of silver in her bag.
She heard that everything in the outside world required money, so she had to leave some money behind to take a carriage to the capital.
She swallowed her saliva when she thought of the pastry Nangong Yun had just given her. The pastry was sweet but not greasy, soft and crispy. It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten, and it could be used to fill her stomach.
Fu Manxing was thinking about finding a corner to eat.
After experiencing what happened in the forest, although she knew there were good people, she was also afraid of meeting bad people.
After finally finding a corner, she carefully opened the pastry.
Looking at the things in the pastry, she looked in the direction where Nangong Yun left in a daze.
In addition to the pastries, there was also a layer of paper wrapped inside. When she opened it, she found a lot of silver.
The quantity was much more than what was in her bag.
Although she wanted to see the carriage, she knew it was far away.
"Mr. Su is such a good man."
Fu Manxing, who had just entered society, was naive and didn't know how dangerous society was, so he easily believed Nangong Yun's kindness.
She looked at the pile of silver and guessed that it should be enough for the carriage ride.
Although she was anxious to go to the capital, she also knew that it would be dangerous for a weak woman like her to go there alone, so she planned to buy a carriage and try to avoid contact with other people.
Just as I was thinking about the gloomy sky, a fine rain suddenly began to fall.
Fu Manxing looked at the ground that was gradually getting wet, and squinted slightly at the sky.
The moment she looked up, she noticed something different from usual.
She frowned slightly and looked towards the south according to her intuition.
"This day!"
"How could it be..."
She muttered subconsciously.
