Chapter 104 Unpredictable Changes
Having said that, I still have to wait.
It would take at least five days for the carriage to walk, not to mention that she had luggage. There were no other big cities nearby, so she didn't want to spend the night on the roadside tonight.
This wait is an hour.
The attendant also stopped several carriages, but either the carriage was too small to accommodate the three of them, or the other party was unwilling to take strangers on the road.
Mo Yun's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, a convoy drove into her sight. The first one was a mahogany four-wheeled carriage. Those who could ride such a car were either a wealthy merchant or a prominent family. Although the guards came forward to ask as usual, Mo Yun knew that the possibility of the other party's agreement was slim. Rich people didn't care about the fare at all. They must have traveled in this car for comfort, so they were willing to pay their feelings for the three people on the roadside.
However, the convoy slowly stopped.
The guard's return surprised Mo Yun, "Young Master, the other car owner said that he was going to Jinxia, and he could just walk with him."
Such a coincidence?
Mo Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That would be great!"
When she got on the carriage, she bowed to the owner with gratitude, "Thank you for your kind help from this young master. My surname is Yun, I am from Jingji, and I am planning to visit my relatives in Jinxia. If the young master hadn't been willing to take us for a ride, I'm afraid we would have to sleep in the wild tonight."
At the same time, she was also a little surprised at the other party's youth. Judging from her appearance, the owner of the car was not yet as tall as the crown, his face was thin and his skin was extremely white. Judging from his body shape, his fingers were slender and obviously lacked exercise. In either aspect, he didn't look like a person who could go out for a long journey.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yun, so I'll be happy." The other party smiled and said, "I'm Fang in Xia's surname, and it happened to be from Jingji. Besides, you don't have to be polite. It seems that I'm helping you, but in fact you have helped me, so it can be regarded as helping each other."
"Helping each other?" Mo Yun said curiously, "What did I help you?"
"Help me relieve my boredom." Young Master Fang raised his lips and played with the paper fan in his hand and said, "The road is long, if there is only one person, it would be too boring, right?"
If she was a man, there was no problem with this, but she was a woman who was wearing men's clothing and a veil hat, and her voice and appearance were not difficult to detect, and she had no intention of concealing her. And because she was a woman, her words seemed a little frivolous and erratic.
Mo Yun's impression of this person suddenly decreased halfway.
"The young master's carriage is so wide. I believe that the family is either rich or noble. Since I don't like to go on the road alone, why don't I bring a few people to play, sing and music to relieve my fatigue?"
"What does that mean? Knowing the origin and the purpose will not cause any turmoil to the journey. Bringing them with you is like bringing two stones, no difference."
Is the tone of this speech... making a huge difference? Mo Yun said with a hilarious voice, "It seems that Mr. Fang means that strangers are more interesting than familiars? Unfortunately, on the way to the distance, people's hearts are unpredictable. Are you not afraid of attracting wolves into the house if you do this?"
"What you see is risks, and what I see is changes." Mr. Fang shook his head, "No matter how the situation evolves, I can find a solution that is most beneficial to me."
"..." Mo Yun did not answer.
"Young Master Yun doesn't believe it?"
The letter was strange. "So you asked me to board the bus, not to want to chat alone, but to make some changes so that you can have something to do?"
Young Master Fang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "You are a smart person. Most people can't say such things."
"I just don't like to beat around the bush." Mo Yun sighed secretly. After all, it's good to have a car to ride. You should bear such a small matter, "So have you found the best solution?"
"Natural." The other party opened the fan and closed it, "Sending you to Jinxia City is the best solution to make friends with a Ministry of Works from Gyeonggi. It is definitely not a bad thing for me."
This shocked her slightly, "You are afraid you have read it wrong."
"You have calluses on your knuckles, and you should often deal with handicrafts." Mr. Fang said in an orderly manner, "But your dress and clothes are all excellent. This at least proves that you are not an ordinary Weaver Girl or a peasant woman."
"And the servant who just came up to stop the car had a pass sign in Xicheng District on his waist. There are two forbidden areas in Xicheng District in Shangyuan, one is the Baiqi Hall of the Ministry of Works, and the other is the Martial Arts and the Ministry of War. Although you are wearing men's clothing, you do not have a sword on your waist, which is not like the style of a military officer."
"What's more, even the servants can enjoy the convenience of entering and leaving the forbidden area in Xicheng District, which means that you are not only an official of the Ministry of Works, but also your official position is not too low. It is natural for me to make friends with such an adult." He smiled, "Do you still think I'm wrong now?"
Mo Yun's interest in his heart has been aroused. No matter how the other party is, this meticulous observation is something that ordinary people do not have. "After all, it is just your guess. Does the military officer have to wear a sword?"
"Otherwise, how would he show what he has learned throughout his life? Of course, exceptions do exist. What really made me judge is the art of divination." Young Master Fang said frankly, "It is the hexagram that predicts the benefits of this trip that I am sure of this. A sword dancer does not benefit me at all, but an official from the Ministry of Works is very different. The Fang family still has a great demand for exquisite magical objects and self-defense hidden weapons."
The hexagram... Fangjia...
Mo Yun suddenly moved his heart, "Are you a priest from the Fang family in Qizhou?"
"That's right," the other party opened the paper fan with a snap, "Below, the first person in Qingshan Town is the first person to take the exam."
She suddenly felt speechless. If he didn't say these nonsense, he would still remember the other party's help. But after he said this, Mo Yun found that he didn't want to repay this favor.
The feeling this person gave her...is very strange.
Could it be that the alchemist who is good at divination is eager to let others know what they are doing, and they have not escaped his plan?
I don’t know if he predicted this in his calculations.
But then again, there is absolutely no incompetent alchemist who can enter the Shangyuan Privy Council. He is not waiting for the capital, so why should he go to Jinxia City to do?
It won't have anything to do with His Royal Highness, right?
Mo Yun asked tentatively, "Do you have official duties when you go to Jinxia?"
"Official business? What's the reason for that kind of thing? I'm worth running away with." Fang Xiandao said disdainfully, "I went to Jinxia to confirm my divination results."
"What is the result?" she asked subconsciously.
But the other party looked at her quietly for a long time before grinning, "Nothing."
"Nothing...?"
"Well, there is nothing." Fang Xiandao repeated again. He couldn't help but remember a scene three days ago. After receiving the letter transferred by the Luo family, he did not take Xia Fan's invitation at all. He turned around and burned the letter. But with curious thoughts and the routine of divination in advance, he did a random divination.
However, after the magic was used, the hexagram filled with water was calm and there was no change.
This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
Even if the arts fail, there should be some changes during the plate, or it may be turbid and unclear.
No results means unpredictable results.
The other party was shocked first as much as the first time he felt the energy.
If he ignores and asks, he can be just as feasible as not having happened at all, but he vaguely feels that if he does this, his magic level will end in his life.
In order not to stop there, he embarked on the way to Jinxia City.
