Chapter 169 Unwilling

"It's you!"

"How could it be you? Is there a mistake? I know this person, the coach of the regiment training in Wenxi County. I heard that he ran away from the battle because he was timid on the battlefield."

Xue Bing immediately stood up, pointed at Fang Yue, and said suspiciously.

His eyes were fixed on Fang Yue. He didn't want to believe that he had paid a huge price for this opportunity to leave Shanyang Mansion.

He actually let a person who in his eyes was just a humble servant with a mud-legged background and whom he had never looked down upon decide his fate!

This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

This must be fake!

But then I thought about it, a regimental training coach who was afraid of fighting and fled to Shanyang Mansion, a small martial arts practitioner with no future, a mud-legged person who would never be able to be promoted to a martial artist in the Sensing Qi realm.

With no family background and no strong strength, how could such a person become the supervisor of Si Tianjian.

Moreover, this person should have been expelled by the Shanyang Prefecture and entered the Pioneer Army's criminal camp. How could he appear here.

Could it be that this person has defected to the bandit army?

Yes, that must be the case. This man has joined the bandit army, otherwise how could he appear here!

Therefore, this Fang Yue is definitely not a supervisor, but a fake one.

Xue Bing, who thought he had seen the truth, sharpened his eyes again, stared at Fang Yue, and scolded coldly: "Tell me, what are your intentions in pretending to be an inspector? Did you surrender to the thieves and become a spy for the thieves?"

After Xue Bing scolded Fang Yue, he turned to Lin Qingyuan and said sincerely: "Please, Lord County Lord, take action to capture this beast!"

As soon as Xue Bing said these words, the expressions of other people around him immediately changed. Could this person really be a fake?

Otherwise, how could a person who fled in the face of battle be Si Tianjian's supervisor!

"My Lord Inspector, please show your identity certificate and let me check it." Lin Qingyuan did not take action immediately.

Having been an official for many years, he is well versed in the rules of officialdom. Even if there is only a slight possibility, he will not act rashly. What if this person is the real inspector?

Could it be that just based on Xue Bing's few words, we can conclude that this person is fake?

Being so hasty is not the way to be an official.

"It should be so." Fang Yue smiled slightly, and immediately took out his inspector's token and handed it to Lin Qingyuan.

Lin Qingyuan took the token in Fang Yue's hand, looked around it, and finally confirmed that it was the supervisory token and returned it to him.

"How is Mr. Lin? This must be fake!" Seeing Lin Qingyuan's actions, Xue Bing asked even though he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You bastard, what did you say? Why don't you quickly apologize to Inspector Fang? You are so ignorant of etiquette and neither big nor small. You are really uneducated!"

Xue Bing has offended Inspector Fang, and there must be an old grudge between the two.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible for Xue Bing to be selected.

Therefore, how can I show good looks to this former noble son of Fucheng?

"I also ask for your forgiveness, Inspector Fang. I was reckless this time. I hope Inspector Fang will give me a chance. If you forgive me, I will be rewarded generously."

Xue Bing took a deep breath, and his face turned green and white. He soon came back to his senses. Now that the matter had come to this, he could only lower his head.

However, even though Xue Bing had already bowed his head, he bowed his head in humiliation to someone he once looked down upon.

But Fang Yue didn't even look at him. He looked at the other people and said:

"Okay, just follow what I just said, you compete with each other, and I'll take a look before I say anything else."

With Fang Yue's words, Xue Bing and the other six people immediately started drawing lots. I don't know if it was a coincidence.

The two sides that happened to be fighting were the wealthy trio headed by Xue Bing and others, fighting against a trio of low-level officers selected from the guards from various places.

"Haha, Inspector Fang, please come over here. I've already sent someone to make tea. Let's drink and watch."

Lin Qingyuan immediately invited Fang Yue to sit aside.

Soon a servant brought good tea.

~~~~~~~

In just one cup of tea, the battle was over.

The result was quite unexpected. Among the three officers, two of them won.

Among the three wealthy children, the winner turned out to be Xue Bing.

Seeing this result, Fang Yue smiled slightly, and then he directly chose the trio of officers.

"I defeated my opponent. Is Mr. Fang going to go back on his word? Why didn't you choose me?" Xue Bing suppressed his anger.

, questioned.

This Fang Yue must be avenging a private vendetta. It is so unfair and shameful!

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, then gave him a cold look and said, "Do you still need to ask me this question?

When did I say I would choose the winner? I just said let’s look at the results. And it just so happens that I don’t like you, so I won’t choose you! "

Fang Yue sneered, giving Xue Bing no chance to defend himself.

Xue Bing's face turned red. He had never been so insulted and looked down upon.

He hated Fang Yue so much in his heart that he almost wanted to kill Fang Yue on the spot, but he couldn't have an attack and could only endure it.

After all, if we take action here, we are afraid that we will be captured and suppressed immediately.

When the time comes and he is directly charged with assaulting and killing Shangguan, he is afraid that he will be incorporated into the criminal army.

And once he joins the criminal army, he may never be able to stand up again.

Xue Bing took a deep breath and forced himself not to think too much.

At this time, Fang Yue stood up and said goodbye to Lin Qingyuan, and then left the Sanshui County Government Office with the three selected grassroots officers.

In fact, when he first met these people, Fang Yue had already made up his mind that as long as the actual combat abilities of these three officers were not too different, he would choose them.

Instead of choosing three young men from aristocratic families who smell of alcohol and can't tell the difference.

A young man from an aristocratic family who has no idea what he is doing is still drinking at this time. If he really encounters danger on the road, wouldn't he be in trouble?

Three escorts were chosen, and the convoy was on the road again.

After leaving Sanshui County, we headed northeast and soon arrived at Dutou.

This place has been blocked by the guards, and everyone who comes here must be inspected. Ordinary businessmen are fine, but if military personnel pass by without corresponding procedures, they will be arrested immediately.

The only way to wait for their fate is to be exiled to the army.

Fang Yue and others were naturally not afraid, and because of Si Tianjian's official document, they took an official ship and even three carriages were on board. By noon, this huge stern ship drove away from the waves and sailed towards the distant side of the vast river.

At the same time, there was a dense forest not far from the dock.

Xue Bing gritted his teeth and looked at the giant ship in the distance, his eyes becoming colder and colder.

"Idiot, if you lose the election this time, we don't know what Si Tianjian did. If you delayed the Lord's important event, what crime should you be responsible for."

At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared and stood in front of Xue Bing.

This person's aura is no different from ordinary people, even worse than Xue Bing.

But daring to speak to Xue Bing like this shows that this person is anything but simple.

"Don't worry, your Majesty. Although I was not chosen, there are still my people among those three people. Si Tianjian's people will never escape." Xue Bing smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Yeah. That's all. Keep track of them and don't act rashly for the time being."

The man in black nodded, turned around and disappeared.

Seeing the man in black disappear, Xue Bing immediately looked at the giant ship that was already like a black dot, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

~~~~~~

~~~~~~

It is already the fifth day since leaving Shanyang Mansion.

The giant ship was still sailing on the wide river. The ship was extremely fast, pushing away huge waves and sailing rapidly toward the northeast.

Fang has been having more and more free time these days and has made two fishing rods. In his spare time, he will fish next to the boat.

After all, there is really nothing to do on the ship except practicing martial arts.

It just so happens that fishing can also pass the time.

"The river is so wide that it is almost limitless, almost like the sea. I can also experience sea fishing in disguise!"

Fang Yue swung the fishing rod and threw the bait into the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

I have to admit that fishing on a boat is indeed a very pleasant thing.

"Something has taken the bait." Fang Yue smiled slightly, lifted the fishing rod up, and a palm-sized silver fish jumped out of the water.

This swimming fish is two feet long, and its body is as white as crystal, like crystal jade.

It seemed to know that its life was hanging by a thread, and it struggled desperately to get rid of the shackles of the fishing line.

But Fang Yue had no intention of letting go. He just kept pulling hard and pulled it towards his wrist.

But Fang Yue is a master of fishing, not to mention his amazing strength and subtle control. The whitebait struggled for a moment and finally stopped struggling.

"Well, yes, this fish looks good. I don't know what kind of fish it is." Fang Yue smiled and was about to throw the fish into the fish basket.

At this moment, an old voice sounded from the side.

"Haha, little friend, your fish is pretty good. Please give me a price. I'll buy it."

Hearing this, Fang Yue paused for a moment. When he looked back, he saw an old man with white hair and beard standing not far away, with his hands behind his back, looking calm and calm.

The old man was dressed in black luxurious clothes, had silver hair, was tall and strong, and had an angular face. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

He stepped forward and walked to Fang Yue. He looked at the silver fish in Fang Yue's hand and his eyes flickered a few times.

"Not for sale." Fang Yue said with a slight smile.

"Oh, I won't sell it." The old man smiled even more. "My friend, you know how much money I will pay."

Fang Yue still smiled and ignored the old man, but looked at the fishing rod, and then asked lazily:

"Old man, what kind of fish is this? How much money do you pay for it?"

Seeing Fang Yue's attitude, the old man frowned. He was also a martial artist, and a martial artist who had reached the Qi Sensing Realm. He was also a fifth-rank official. People who asked him to do things on weekdays were like crucian carp crossing the river.

If it had been anyone else, he would have just ignored her and left.

It was this young man who caught a spiritual fish. This kind of fish would be beneficial even if a martial artist eats it.

Of course, the more important thing is that this fish tastes very good. Now he is greedy.

Want to try something new.

This is on the ship. If it were anywhere else, he wouldn't come to buy it in person.

All you need to do is reveal your identity and people will serve you the fish.

"This is the silver-threaded fish. It is a good tonic and an excellent delicacy. I can give you a thousand taels of silver and consider it a favor to you."

The old man said. Naturally, he didn't bother to lie because of his identity, so he immediately told the name and utility of this fish.

And offered a high price.

In fact, if it were in other places, this kind of silver-lined spiritual fish would be rare, but the value would only be around five hundred taels per piece.

He now directly offered twice the price, which was very sincere.

But Fang Yue seemed not to understand, and shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not short of money."

"Oh, in that case, I don't want to be loved by many people, but I hope you won't regret it in the future. Do you know what a great opportunity you missed by refusing this time?" The old man smiled and shook his head. With his status, he owed someone a favor.

It was not something that could be measured by simple silver.

"Oh, I see."

Fang Yue smiled slightly, then turned around and continued fishing.

Seeing this, the old man could only shake his head and leave.

At this time, a military officer in a sixth-rank official uniform came out of the cabin and saw the old man in black.

"Are you Mr. Chen? I didn't expect to meet you here. Please accept my respects!"

The official hurriedly bowed, his face full of awe.

Seeing this scene, some people on the deck also realized that this old man was not simple.

After all, he must be powerful to be treated like this by a sixth-rank military officer.

But I couldn't help but think that the favor of such a person might be more valuable than one thousand taels of silver.

Some people couldn't help but look at the silver fish in Fang Yue's fish basket. Each of them looked eager, wishing that the spiritual fish was caught by themselves.

That is to say, there are official soldiers on the official ship, otherwise some of these people might start to rob.

The old man smiled slightly when he heard it, stretched out his right hand and said: "Commander Liu, you don't have to be polite, are you going?"

"Oh, I am going to Denglai City to perform my duties and serve as the deputy commander of the navy."

Denglai City is the next stop of this official ship.

And although Denglai City is not a prefecture, it is also the second largest city in the area.

There are tens of thousands of naval troops stationed there, and they were ordered to block the river surface, which is a line of defense against the bandit army of Shanyang Prefecture.

"So that's how it is. This mission is important and your responsibility is not small. You have to work hard." The old man smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your concern." Commander Liu quickly agreed.

"Okay, I'll take my leave first. When we get to Denglai City, we'll talk about the past." The old man smiled slightly.

"Yes, Lord Chen!" Commander Liu quickly bowed and watched the old man in black leave.

After the old man left, Commander Liu put away the smile on his face, walked up to Fang Yue, and said coldly: "Boy, I like this fish. The market price is five hundred taels. Sell it to me."

Since Lord Chen liked this spiritual fish, he certainly had to find a way to help him get it.

After Commander Liu finished speaking, he prepared to take the silver-line spiritual fish.

"Wait! Do you want this fish?" Fang Yue looked at Commander Liu with interest and asked lightly.

"Why, you don't want to?" Commander Liu snorted coldly.

"Yes, of course I don't want to."
