Having said that, it will have to wait.
It would take at least five days to travel on foot instead of two days in a carriage, not to mention she still had luggage with her. There were no other big cities nearby, and 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 carriages were too small to accommodate the three of them, or the other parties were unwilling to take strangers on the road.
Mo Yun's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, a motorcade drove into her field of vision. At the head of the queue was a mahogany four-wheeled carriage. Those who could afford such a carriage were either wealthy businessmen or aristocratic families. Although the guard came forward to ask as usual, Mo Yun knew that the possibility of the other party agreeing was slim. Rich people don't care about the fare at all. They must travel in this car for comfort, so how can they compromise their own feelings for the three people on the roadside.
However, the convoy slowly stopped.
The guard's reply surprised Mo Yun, "Sir, the other car owner said that he is also going to Jinxia, so he can go with him all the way."
Such a coincidence
Mo Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That's great!"
After boarding the carriage, she saluted the owner with gratitude, "Thank you for your generous help. My surname is Yun. I am from Gyeonggi Province. I am planning to go to Jinxia to visit relatives. If the young master had not been willing to take us along, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives tonight. We have to sleep outdoors.”
At the same time, she was also a little surprised by the young man. Judging from his appearance, the car owner was not even taller than his crown, with a thin face and extremely white complexion. Judging from his body shape, his fingers were slender and he obviously lacked exercise. No matter from any aspect, he doesn't look like a person who would travel far.
"It turns out to be Young Master Yun. Nice to meet you." The other party smiled and replied, "My surname is Fang, and I happen to be from Gyeonggi. Also, Sir, you don't have to be polite. It seems like I'm helping you, but in fact you also helped me. , so it can be regarded as helping each other.”
"Help each other?" Mo Yun asked curiously, "What did I help you with?"
"Help me relieve my boredom." Mr. Fang raised the corner of his mouth and played with the paper fan in his hand. "The road is long. It would be too boring if there was only one person, wouldn't it?"
If she were a man, there would be no problem with this, but she was a woman - even though she was wearing men's clothes and a gauze and hat, her voice and appearance were not difficult to detect, and she had no intention of hiding it. And precisely because she is a woman, these words seem a bit frivolous and romantic.
Mo Yun's impression of this person suddenly dropped by half.
"Young master, this carriage is so spacious. I guess your family must be rich or noble. Since you don't like to travel alone, why don't you bring a few people to play and sing to relieve your boredom?"
"What's the point of that? Knowing the origin and purpose will not cause any disturbance in the journey. Taking them with you is like taking two rocks with you. There is no difference."
The tone of this speech... is he pretending to be disparate? Mo Yun said amusedly, "It seems that Mr. Fang means that strangers are more interesting than acquaintances? Unfortunately, people are unpredictable during a long journey. Are you not afraid of attracting wolves into the house by doing this?"
"What you see are risks, but what I see are 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 didn't answer.
"Master Yun, don't you believe it?"
The letter is weird. "So you asked me to board the car not to have a private chat, but to make a change so that you have something to do?"
Mr. Fang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You are a smart man. Most people can't say such things."
"I just don't like beating around the bush." Mo Yun sighed secretly. After all, it's good to have a car to ride in. It's better to tolerate such small things. "So have you found the optimal solution?"
"Of course." The other party opened the fan and closed it again, "The best solution is to send you to Jinxia City smoothly - being able to make friends with an official from the Ministry of Industry in Gyeonggi Province is by no means a bad thing for me."
These words startled her slightly, "I'm afraid you saw it wrong."
"You have calluses on your knuckles, and you should be doing manual work frequently." Mr. Fang said methodically, "But your appearance and clothes are all of high quality. This at least proves that you are not an ordinary weaver girl or peasant woman."
"And the attendant who came up to stop the car just now has a pass sign for Xicheng District hanging on his waist. There are two official forbidden areas in Xicheng District in Shangyuan, one is the Hundred Weapons Hall of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is the martial arts training ground of the Ministry of War. Although you are wearing men's clothing, your waist But there is no sword in the room, which is not the style of a military attache."
"What's more, even your attendants can enjoy the convenience of entering and exiting the forbidden areas of Xicheng District. It shows that you are not only an official of the Ministry of Industry, but also your official position is not too low. It is natural for me to make friends with such an adult. The more the better." He smiled. , "Now do you still think I saw it wrong?"
Mo Yun's interest has been aroused. No matter how the other person is, this kind of meticulous observation is something ordinary people don't have. "In the end, it's just your guess. Do military attachés have to wear swords?"
"Otherwise, how can he show what he has learned throughout his life? Of course, exceptions do exist. What really makes me make a judgment is the art of divination." Mr. Fang said calmly, "It was the hexagrams that foreshadowed the benefits of this trip, so I I'm sure of this. A swordsman and a spear wielder won't do me any good, but an official from the Ministry of Industry is quite different. The Fang family still has a huge need for finely crafted rare objects and hidden weapons for self-defense."
Hexagram... Fang family...
Mo Yun suddenly moved in his heart and said, "Are you... the alchemist of the Fang family in Qizhou?"
"That's right," the other party opened the paper fan with a snap, "I'll start from the bottom. He is also the first person in Qingshan Town's scholar examination."
She was suddenly speechless. If he hadn't said such nonsense, she would still remember the other person's help. But after what he said, Mo Yun realized that he didn't want to return the favor.
The feeling this person gave her was... very weird.
Could it be that alchemists who are good at divination are eager to let others know what they have done, and they have not escaped his calculations
I don’t know if he had anticipated this in his calculations.
But having said that, there is absolutely no incompetent alchemist who can enter Shangyuan Privy Palace. What is he doing in Jinxia City when he is not waiting in the capital
Doesn't it have something to do with Her Highness the Princess
Mo Yun asked tentatively, "Are you on official business during your trip to Jinxia?"
"Official business? What's the point of running for such an established thing?" Fang Xiandao said disdainfully, "I went to Jinxia just to confirm the results of my divination."
"What's the result?" she asked subconsciously.
But the other party looked at her quietly for a long time, then grinned and said, "Nothing."
"Nothing at all?"
"Well, there's nothing." Fang Xiandao repeated again. He couldn't help but think of the scene three days ago. After receiving the letter from the Luo family, he didn't take Xia Fan's invitation to heart at all, and turned around and burned the letter. But out of curiosity and the practice of fortune-telling beforehand, he made a casual calculation.
However, after the operation, the hexagram plate filled with water became calm and nothing changed.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Even if the alchemy fails, there should be some changes in the disk, or it should simply be turbid.
No result means unpredictable results.
This shock to the other party was no less than the first time he felt Qi.
It would be possible to ignore it and pretend it never happened, but he had a vague feeling that if he did this, his level of magic would end here.
Not wanting to stop there, he set out on the road to Jinxia City.
