Chapter 129: A Nameless Action

Since she didn’t understand it, she wouldn’t think of it . Miss Jun and Fang Jinxiu did not say anything more and returned to their room .

Ning Yunzhao was already outside the restaurant, taking the reins of his horse from a servant boy .

He turned his head to look back at the restaurant .

"Noble Son, are we going back to the city gates, or…" asked the servant nervously .

There was a flock of people in the restaurant near the city gates waiting to see Noble Son off; they still didn’t know he had run off .

Ning Yunzhao smiled .

"Partings are painful . Leaving without a word and letting nature run it’s course is good," he said . "Everybody will drink till they’re happy . When they awake from their drunken stupor everyone will have scattered . That’s for the best . "

‘But why wasn’t it like that before?’ thought the servant boy .

Right now, he avoided the roadblock of noble sons by coaxing them into a restaurant obviously to meet with a girl .

Was this the legendary lovers before friends?

Scholars really could speak without thinking .

The servant boy of course did not say that, but got on his own horse .

"If it’s like that, then we should hurry to reach the outpost before the sky turns dark," he said .

She was also just worried about his journey .

A smile appeared on Ning Yunzhao’s face .

"Right, we will get to the relay post by sundown," he said, urging on his horse with a whip . "Let’s go . "

The servant boy pressed his force to follow . He couldn’t help but smile as he watched Ning Yunzhao speed along proudly in the spring wind .

Noble Son had been uneasy and unhappy since they left home . He had thought it was because he was sad at leaving, but he felt that was strange . Noble Son had left so many times before but had never been this sad .

Looking at his attitude again, the little servant boy suddenly realized something .

He wasn’t sad because he was leaving . Rather, it was because he didn’t bid the person he wanted to see most farewell .

Now, he was fine . He met with who he wanted to meet, said what he wanted to say . Now he could proudly and joyfully set out .

"Noble Son, wait for me," he shouted while urging his horse forward with a whip .

The master and servant pair set out through the dusty road on this spring day .

After a simple meal, Miss Jun and Fang Jinxiu left the restaurant .

This time, Fang Jinxiu did not throw her behind, but rather wore a long face while riding in the front .

"If you like to go faster then do it," Miss Jun said .

Fang Jinxiu snorted twice, rolling her eyes at Miss Jun .

"I am accompanying you," she said .

To avoid someone blocking you, I pulled strings and raised bridges for you .

What was that called?

When she thought this, Fang Jinxiu’s frowned deepened .

Fang Chengyu still hadn't died .

Once Fang Chengyu was no longer alive, she would become a widow, so young and pretty like this, and . . .

Miss Jun coughed lightly . Fang Jinxiu’s thoughts were plainly written across her face .

"It won’t happen," she said .

‘What won’t happen? Was it that Fang Chengyu won’t die, or she that won’t become a flirtatious widow?’ thought Fang Jinxiu unpleasantly .

She refused to look at Miss Jun, and turned to look at the side of the road to see a familiar face .

"Third Miss, young Lady . "

Manager Gao hurried to dismount from the carriage to greet them .

Fang Jinxiu and Miss Jun returned the greeting .

"Are you leaving the city?" Fang Jinxiu asked .

Manager Gao hesitated with his words, then took a step forward .

"I’m going to the relay station," he said . "Several Lord Guards have come from the capital to ask questions . "

Lord Guards, that was the Jinyiwei, and they had come from the capital .

Fang Jinxiu nearly jumped in fright, and Miss Jun frowned slightly .

"What happened?" Fang Jinxiu asked seriously .

‘Could it be that the Jinyiwei they met in the Jinyun Hall were picking a fight?’ thought Fang Jinxiu, but she didn’t spare Miss Jun a glance .

Even if that was true, this wasn’t trouble brought by Miss Jun .

"It’s nothing, nothing . Nothing to do with us," Manager Gao hurried to answer . "I was just afraid you would be worried so I didn’t say it . "

"Is it about that map?" Miss Jun asked .

What map?

Fang Jinxiu went blank, then saw Manager Gao nod and smile .

So there actually was something else!

You, woman!

She angrily glared at Miss Jun .

"IT’s about the map, but it has nothing to do with us . I’m just going to validate with the relay station deputy," he said with a smile .

"So they’re actually starting the inquiry here?" Miss Jun asked .

It was being investigated in the capital, but it hadn’t spread outside yet . Lu Yunqi said that’s how they dealt with small issues . A more serious investigation might attract more people’s attention and nothing might turn to something .

The map really wasn’t a big issue .

Something that could make the Jinyiwei come from the capital definitely had to do with someone .

"Did they find the person who made the map?" Miss Jun asked .

Surprise and some admiration appeared in Manager Gao’s expression .

"Yes," he said quietly . "I heard it was the Duke of Chengguo’s heir that made it . "

The Duke of Chengguo’s heir?

She raised a brow .

"Zhu Zan?"

Miss Jun knowing the name of the Duke of Chengguo’s heir was quite normal . He was famed for his military brilliance and he had only one son . According to rumors, he was good looking but arrogant . He had dozens of girls as fans in the northern region .

The northwest was also under the Duke of Chengguo’s protection, so Heir Zhu was talked about by the girls here .

Manager Gao made a sound of confirmation .

"Why would he do something like that?" asked Miss Jun . "Could it be for money?"

When Manager Gao had heard the news, he felt it funny but also felt at a loss for words .

He recalled that Miss Jun had praised the person who’d made the map genius for making money that way, but that was for ordinary people . For the heir of the Duke of Chengguo, what was a map?

Money?

Moreover, it was also convenient for moving troops under one’s control .

A person who had the authority to mobilize the military would sell a map of the entertainment sites in the capital to make money?

That was like killing a chicken with a cow knife .

"We still don’t know why . The first of the news just said it was him," he said quietly . "So the Lord Guards came to investigate him . "

It did involve the Jinyiwei, so Manager Gao couldn’t say too much about it . He smiled and nodded at Fang Jinxiu and Miss Jun .

"So don’t worry, it has nothing to do with us . "

Since they had started talking, Fang Jinxiu did not understand anything, but she did not ask any questions . At present, she was even more confused than before .

Miss Jun nodded at Manager Gao .

"If you want me to return the map, get someone from the house to give it to you," she said .

Manager Gao made a sound of confirmation, then stepped back to let them pass .

Miss Jun and Fang Jinxiu continued forward . They maintained their silence .

"Third Sister," said Miss Jun suddenly, turning to look at Fang Jinxiu .

Fang Jinxiu looked back at her impatiently .

"What is it?" she grumbled .

"You really are a good person . " She paused . "Very charming . "

What the devil?

Suddenly spouting a line like that? I am a good person? I am charming?

What are you thinking? You love me?

Fang Jinxiu stared at Miss Jun .

Miss Jun couldn’t help but smile .

At this smile, Fang Jinxiu spat, then urged her horse without a thought for those left behind .

The servant girls and boys nearly jumped in fright, but they relaxed . It seemed like a shoe had finally dropped . This was Third Miss’ style .

Miss Jun’s smile was somewhat embarrassed .

She didn’t really have any other meaning . It was just that when she was talking to Manager Gao about the map, she felt that Fang Jinxiu was a really good kid . Although she seemed oppositional and noisy, but she had a deep understanding . Obviously she would be curious about what she didn’t understand, but when they were talking she did not make a fuss, and she didn’t pester her endlessly or indulge in flights of fancy . And she didn’t feel resentful that they were hiding things from her .

She really was a girl hard to come by .

So she just wanted to praise her, but not excessively . Too much boasting could scare them away .

Miss Jun smiled, and rambled on forward atop her horse .

All in all, today was a pretty good day .

Manager Gao turned back to see the two girls still going to the city .

"Master, why didn’t you tell Young Lady about the glass cup?" the coachman couldn’t help but ask .
