Chapter 234 Heading to Yuanzhou Prefecture

There was a hint of deep meaning in Chen Qiyu's tone, as if he was hinting at something.

Hearing this, the smile on Yu Hengwu's face gradually faded. He pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Deputy Superintendent Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Qiyu did not directly answer Fei Hengwu's question, but changed the subject and said, "Chief Fei, what do you think of this young man Fang Yue?"

Hui Hengwu was slightly startled, not expecting Chen Qiyu to ask this suddenly.

He thought for a moment and then answered truthfully: "Fang Yue, a young man, has good talent and a decent temperament. Although he is sometimes a little too cautious, overall, he is a promising talent."

Chen Qiyu nodded, agreeing with Yu Hengwu's view.

He twirled his fingers lightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he slowly said: "Since Fang Yue refused this mission, forget it. However, I hope you can pay more attention to this young man and see where he can go in the future."

Heng Hengwu heard this and his heart moved.

He knew that when Chen Qiyu said this, the other party must have become more and more interested.

This is undoubtedly good news for Fang Yue.

After all, Chen Qiyu is one of the deputy supervisors of Si Tianjian and holds a high position. His attention is undoubtedly a huge help to Fang Yue.

"Yes, Deputy Supervisor Chen, I will." Hui Hengwu replied respectfully.

After a while, Chen Qiyu left. His eyes looked northeast, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, do you think you can escape this disaster if you refuse?

After Chen Qiyu left, Fei Hengwu was still immersed in that conversation.

He understood that Chen Qiyu's interest in Fang Yue was not just superficial concern, but probably had a deeper intention.

This made Fei Hengwu couldn't help but start to re-examine the young man Fang Yue, and think about what was so special about him that he could attract the attention of senior officials like Chen Qiyu, or maybe it was a conspiracy.

~~~~~~~~

Fang Yue naturally didn't know about the attention and calculations of Si Tianjian's senior officials towards him. After returning home, he took out the jade pendant that had been obtained from the traitor King Chang Ping, which was also the item that was coveted by the black-robed master enshrined in the imperial court. .

This object contains luck. From the documents collected by Si Tianjian, we can know that although luck is superficial, it does exist, although it cannot help people directly improve their strength.

But it can improve luck.

It can be as small as going out to pick up money, or as big as changing your destiny.

Fang Yue held the jade pendant and felt the luck contained in it.

He knew that the value of this jade pendant lay not only in its material value, but also in the luck it carried.

Thinking about what this jade pendant can bring to him?

"The black robe is so obsessed with this jade pendant. Could it be that this luck is also of great benefit to practice?" Fang Yue murmured to himself.

Fang Yue decided to study this jade pendant carefully to see if he could find some clues from it.

He put the jade pendant in his hand, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual consciousness to sense the luck in it.

Gradually, he felt a warm air flow emanating from the jade pendant and slowly pouring into his body.

This airflow seemed to have infinite magic power, making his state of mind quiet and peaceful.

The next moment, Fang Yue felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning on his body. But if you feel it carefully, it seems like there is nothing.

"Could the feeling just now be an illusion?" Fang Yue frowned, feeling a little confused. He closed his eyes again and concentrated on feeling the power.

But unfortunately, still nothing was found.

And at this moment, just when Fang Yue was about to continue to activate the Yuan Qi spirit to sense the jade pendant.

With a snapping sound, the jade pendant in his hand actually shattered and turned into a ball of powder.

Fang Yue watched in shock as the jade pendant in his hand turned into a ball of powder, and his heart was filled with shock and confusion.

"What's going on? Why did the jade pendant suddenly break?" Fang Yue muttered to himself, with a look of confusion on his face.

He obviously didn't use any force, he just put the jade pendant in his hand and used his spiritual sense to sense the luck in it. How could it cause the jade pendant to break?

Fang Yue was full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know what he had done wrong.

"I didn't expect that the jade medal would be broken by myself in the end. If I had known this, I would have just given him the black robe."

After a long while, Fang Yue couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face.

But in fact, the thought of regret disappeared fleetingly in his mind. Although the black robe came for the jade token, it was obvious that he would kill people and silence him after seizing the treasure.

Therefore, even if Fang Yue is willing to give in, the other party will not let Fang Yue go.

"Forget it, since this thing is useless. Then quickly go to Yuanzhou Mansion to find that kind of vitality."

Fang Yue immediately decided to go to Yuanzhou Mansion to find that kind of vitality.

He planned to go alone, so as to reduce unnecessary trouble and better deal with possible dangers.

The Yuanzhou capital is located in the northeast of the Wei Dynasty, and further northeast is the Blackwater Kingdom.

It got its name from a neighboring country bordering the Wei Dynasty. Although there are occasional frictions between the two countries, generally speaking, they still maintain a relatively peaceful state.

It can be regarded as the most stable frontier in the Wei Dynasty today.

~~~~~~~

It was a sunny and windy day, and the sky was just right.

Fang Yue said goodbye to his family and found a caravan in the city that was going to Yuanzhou capital for business, and went with them.

This can not only save some trouble on the road, but also be more convenient.

The leader of the caravan is a middle-aged businessman named Zhao Qian, who is burly and kind.

Seeing that Fang Yue is young but has an extraordinary demeanor, he took the initiative to talk to him.

"My little brother, you look very dignified, not like the children of ordinary families. How could you think of traveling with us merchants?" Zhao Qian asked curiously.

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, thank you for the compliment. I just want to go to Yuanzhou Prefecture to do some things and gain some experience. It is my honor to travel with you all."

Zhao Qian laughed and said, "Okay, since everyone is going to Yuanzhou Prefecture, it's better to take care of each other when walking together."

In this way, Fang Yue successfully joined the caravan and embarked on the journey to Yuanzhou Prefecture with them.

~~~~~~~~

"Did Fang Yue leave the city?" asked the man in black robe. In fact, he had always sent people to keep an eye on Fang Yue's whereabouts.

"Yes, Lord Black Robe."

A spy knelt in front of Black Robe and answered respectfully, "Fang Yue has left the capital. It is said that he joined the caravan to Yuanzhou Prefecture."

Black Robe nodded slightly, with a deep smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Very good, you retreat, continue to keep an eye on him, and report any situation immediately." He said slowly, revealing a trace of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

"Yes, Lord Black Robe." The spy responded, then turned and retreated, not daring to delay for a moment.

Black Robe stood in a dark corner, looking into the distance, as if he saw Fang Yue's figure through layers of fog.

"It's really a good time! Then let you have some free time." Black Robe's voice was low and cold, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out its letter, which made people feel chilling.

There was a sinister light flashing in his eyes, fierce and vicious.

Just this morning, he had just received an order from the Worship Office to go to Guangfeng Prefecture immediately to participate in the upcoming battle.

Hei Pao originally planned to leave for Guangfeng Prefecture immediately to participate in the upcoming battle.

However, before leaving, he received a report from his subordinates that Fang Yue had left the capital and joined the caravan to Yuanzhou Prefecture.

Hei Pao took a deep breath, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The order of the Worship Office could not be disobeyed. He had to go to Guangfeng Prefecture immediately to participate in the battle. This was his duty.

However, Fang Yue's whereabouts were also extremely important to him.

He knew that Fang Yue had what he needed, and Fang Yue's potential and talent also made him feel daunted.

Hei Pao thought for a moment and decided to make a compromise choice.

He turned to a trusted subordinate and said, "Take a few people with you immediately and follow Fang Yue to Yuanzhou Prefecture quietly. Be sure to keep an eye on his every move. If there is anything unusual, report back immediately."

"Yes, Lord Heipao."

The trusted subordinate responded and turned away.

Heipao looked at his subordinate's back as he left, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he could not deal with Fang Yue personally for the time being, but this did not mean that he would let Fang Yue go.

He believed that as long as Fang Yue was still in the territory of the Wei Dynasty, he would fall into his hands one day.

At that time, he would let Fang Yue know what it meant to live a life worse than death.

Heipao turned and left the dark corner, preparing to go to Guangfeng Prefecture to participate in the battle.

He knew that this battle was also an opportunity for him. As long as he performed well, he might be appreciated and promoted by higher-level officials in the worship office.

At that time, his strength and status would be further improved, and it would be easier to deal with Fang Yue.

At this time, Fang Yue was following the caravan on the way to Yuanzhou Prefecture.

He didn't know that Hei Pao had sent someone to follow him, but he was just concentrating on his journey.

He believed in his intuition and judgment, and he would definitely gain something from this trip to Yuanzhou Prefecture.

And he also wanted to take this opportunity to train himself and improve his strength and knowledge.

As for the calculations and concerns of Hei Pao and Si Tianjian, Fang Yue didn't care too much.

He knew that his strength and background were not strong enough to compete with these high-level officials.

But he believed that as long as he worked hard to practice and improve his strength, he would one day stand at the top of this world and look down on all enemies.

~~~~~~~

On the border of Yuanzhou Prefecture, the caravan was moving slowly.

Fang Yue rode on a brown horse, swaying with the rhythm of the caravan.

He looked at the vast wilderness ahead, his heart full of expectation and curiosity.

After a month's journey, the caravan finally arrived at the first city of Yuanzhou Prefecture, Fuliu City.

The city gate was tall and heavy, inlaid with iron nails, and seemed indestructible.

On the city wall, soldiers were on high alert, watching every move outside the city with vigilance.

"Finally we have entered Yuanzhou Prefecture." Fang Yue said to himself, with a smile on his face.

After entering Fuliu City, the caravan settled down in the inn in the city.

Zhao Qian greeted acquaintances in the city and dealt with some goods, busy as hell.

Fang Yue strolled leisurely in the inn, observing this strange city.

Although Fuliu City is just a small border town in Yuanzhou Prefecture, it is very prosperous.

The streets are bustling with people, and the shops are full of all kinds of goods.

Fang Yue walked into a bookstore and casually flipped through a few books about Yuanzhou Prefecture, gaining a deeper understanding of the city.

After staying in the inn for two days, Fang Yue said goodbye to Zhao Qian and prepared to continue to the core area of ​​Yuanzhou Prefecture.

"It's here. This person colluded with the bandits outside the city and provided them with medicinal materials."

But at this time, a team of yamen runners surrounded the yard where Zhao Qian rented.

Fang Yue looked at the yamen runners outside the yard and frowned slightly. He did not act immediately, but stood quietly aside to observe the situation.

Zhao Qian walked out of the house and saw that the yard was surrounded by yamen runners, and his face showed panic.

He hurried forward and said to the leading yamen runner: "Sir, what's going on? We are law-abiding merchants, how could we collude with bandits?"

The leading yamen runner smiled coldly and said: "Whether it is collusion with bandits, we will know after searching. Come on, search carefully for me!"

With the order of the leading yamen runner, a group of yamen runners began to pour into the yard and began to search everywhere.

Zhao Qian stood aside, pale and at a loss.

Fang Yue looked at this scene and understood a little.

This is likely that someone deliberately framed Zhao Qian and wanted to stir up trouble.

He did not rush to take action, but continued to observe the situation. If Zhao Qian was really innocent, then he would help at the right time.

After a while, the yamen runners searched out several bags of medicinal materials from the house.

The leading yamen runner picked up the herbs and said coldly: "These herbs are urgently needed by the bandits. What else do you have to say?"

Zhao Qian's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained: "Sir, these herbs are used for our business, not for the bandits. We have nothing to do with the bandits!"

However, the leading yamen runner did not listen to Zhao Qian's explanation at all, and waved his hand and said: "Take them all away!"

Fang Yue saw this and knew that he could no longer stand by and watch.

He walked up and said to the leading yamen runner: "Wait, big brother, I think there must be a misunderstanding. Zhao Qian is my friend, I can guarantee that he has nothing to do with the bandits."

The leading yamen runner looked at Fang Yue and sneered: "Who are you? Why do you guarantee them?"

The leading yamen runner's attitude was very tough, and it was obvious that he did not intend to give Fang Yue face.

Then, he looked at Fang Yue carefully and sneered: "So you are also an accomplice of these thieves, come and arrest him."

Immediately, two yamen runners came forward and locked Fang Yue up.

Faced with such a situation, Fang Yue did not resist, he did not want to reveal his identity here.

So, it is better not to attract attention. (End of this chapter)
