Chapter 255 Logistics Captain
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xia, the Fang family is not as poor as he said - get down here." Fang Yu pulled the old man behind him, "It's just that most of the materials needed for divination are related to jade and jewelry. So...the money on the books will be a little tight."
"So that's it..." Xia Fan laughed dryly, "I can understand. When I was wandering with my master, I often worried about not getting enough medicinal materials. Well, I'll put you in the West District first. Let’s talk about work after we settle down in the newly built house. I’ll pay for the food these days, so you can just move in.”
…
After registering to enter the city, when the group stepped into the accommodation area, a row of brand-new houses appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow, these houses look so neat!"
"The floor is actually covered with tiles."
"There seems to be a pipe underneath the toilet!"
Most of the disciples of the Fang family have been living in tree houses and have rarely been exposed to the lives of people under the mountain. Jinxia is their first contact with a prosperous big city.
"Look, don't yell, lest they laugh at you." The old lady shouted as she walked, "Separate families into households. Disciples are separated into men and women. Four people live in one room. Do you understand?"
"I know!"
"Hey, what a bunch of troublesome brats." Fang Yu sighed, "It would be so easy if they all got out."
"Ha, that sounds nice." Fang Jiuzhang curled his lips, "It's not like you usually protect them too much - hiss -"
Fang Yu walked over from his feet, "Qianyan, Mr. Fang... come to my room."
After everyone gathered, Fang Jiuzhang closed the door from behind.
Fang Yu took out an isolation note, blocked the sound in the room, and then asked in a low voice, "What do you think... Xia Fan?"
"What, do you think there's something wrong with him?" the old man raised his eyebrows.
"Based on my current contacts, he doesn't put on airs, doesn't think of himself as a rescuer, and is approachable. To say that he has problems would be a bit too picky. It's just..." Fang Yu thought about the wording, "It's too inappropriate for his age. Point. A young man who has not yet reached the crown is already in charge of a palace and has the trust of the princess. He should be high-spirited and high-spirited. Also, will he accept the Fang family's escape from the control of the Privy Council too quickly? I feel like I didn’t even ask a few words before I agreed immediately.”
"As a listener...it should be normal for ordinary people to see things easily, right?"
"Listening will not change a person's character." Fang Yu looked solemn, "Qian Yan knows this most profoundly."
"Indeed." Qian Yan did not deny it. "It is a rare example of people going crazy by listening. If the information is shocking enough, it doesn't require the will of God to make people go crazy. He definitely has some hidden agenda."
"So...he really has a problem?" Fang Jiuzhang immediately changed his words.
"It's not necessarily a problem. You should have read my letters. In my personal opinion, his abnormal thoughts and behaviors stem from his different way of looking at things."
"The way you look at things?" Fang Yu murmured, "How do you say it?"
"I can't tell you the specifics. I just feel that this is the first time I have seen someone like him in the past hundred years." Qian Yan said slowly, "It seems that people and things in the world take on a different look in his eyes. . Considering that Xia Fan was brought up by a homeless person, it is impossible to give him a corresponding education. It can only be said that his character was formed earlier than before. "
"What is that...is it earlier than birth?" Fang Jiuzhang showed a bewildered expression.
"So I didn't delve into this point." Qianyan said calmly, "But one thing I can feel is that the worldly perception he formed is stable, self-reliant, and prosperous. Although I don't know if such a place really exists in the world, But it’s definitely a good place for ordinary people. Also, it means we don’t have to worry too much about him trying to kill the Fang family behind his back.”
"What do you think?" Fang Yu looked at Fang Xiandao.
"The divination can't tell everything about him, but it's not bad to get along with him. And..." He paused, "Qianzhi likes his shaved ice very much."
"Since both of you think so, let's observe and see later." Fang Yu made a decision, "I don't know what kind of work he will arrange for the living dead. If it is the Fang family's method outside the mountain, 'No matter what, I won't stay here."
"About this...he actually talked to me." Qian Yan coughed twice, "Maybe it's a little different from what everyone thinks."
"What is it?" the two family heads asked in unison.
"Help him freeze fish and seafood to ensure they don't rot in transit."
"Ah?" The two of them were stunned.
Qian Yan also felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, the first time she heard Xia Fan talk about his plan to recruit the living dead, she even felt like she was being underestimated. However, the other party did not mean to be sarcastic at all. Instead, he stated his thoughts seriously and gave the department that was mainly responsible for the living dead a name——
"He said that if the Fang family is willing to come over, he will set up a special branch in the Secretariat, called the Logistics Department." She added, "And every living dead is the captain of the logistics team."
…
Inside Fengyang Villa.
Ning Wanjun is using a wireless phone to communicate with the Secretariat in Jinxia City - this is also the first communication line established by Xunyinyi.
The reporter was Xu Sanchong, the commander of the guards.
"Your Highness...hiss...did you really hear my voice? This is really amazing!" He shouted over there, "Last time I thought this thing...hiss...incredible, I didn't expect I could use it..."
"Okay, don't waste my energy, tell me if you have anything to report."
"Ah, yes! I just got the news from Hong Siqi...hiss...said that a strange person came to the refugee camp."
"Speak in full, I can hear it clearly."
"The man kept shouting, asking if the princess was in the city, so Hong Siqi specifically asked about it...hiss...the other party claimed to be Zhang Shi, who had served in the border army before, but he didn't answer any other questions. Hong Siqi felt a little suspicious, so he told me about it. Do you think it's-"
"Bring the person here, I'll ask him in person."
"Yes!"
Soon, the man was brought to the villa.
The moment he saw the princess, the other party's tears welled up. He tried desperately to step forward, but was held down by the guards. "General Ning, General Ning... You must avenge Lord Ba!"
Ning Wanjun's expression changed. She didn't know the person in front of her, but "General Ning" was indeed a nickname that everyone used when she was in the border army. Because she was born in the royal family and had a close relationship with Ba Xingtian, she was given the slightly ironic title of General Ning when she didn't have a position at the beginning. However, as she won the hearts of the army little by little with her own abilities, this title gradually changed its nature.
"What does revenge mean?" She slammed the table and stood up.
"Lord Ba was defeated not because the enemy was strong, but because there was a traitor in the army!" Zhang Shi shouted hoarsely, "He was framed!"
