She cursed and quickly tidied herself up. Then, she turned around and chased Niu Youdao out. She had to change her clothes!
In the courtyard, Xu Laoliu and the old man who often swept the floor at the entrance of Fufang Garden had arrived. The old man was called Uncle Chen.
Niu Youdao looked left and right with his sword.
Not long after, Guan Fangyi, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, opened the door. She swayed her hips and leisurely walked out.
Niu Youdao stopped her at the bottom of the stairs. "I'll go with you."
"No, you'll be a burden!" Guan Fangyi waved her sleeves and pushed him away.
Burden? Niu Youdao was speechless. He wanted to help out of goodwill, but he ended up being a burden?
Guan Fangyi walked to Xu Laoliu and said, "Look after him when I'm not around. Don't let anyone take advantage of him." She pointed at Niu Youdao.
"Yes!" Xu Laoliu replied.
The white-haired Uncle Chen turned around and followed Guan Fangyi.
A carriage stopped at the entrance. Uncle Chen helped Guan Fangyi into the carriage and sat in the driver's seat.
Niu Youdao walked to the car window, opened the curtains, and looked in. He found that it was empty inside.
Guan Fangyi sat in the carriage, fanning herself slowly. She blew on his face. "I've shown you during the day, I've shown you at night, I've shown you everywhere. Haven't you seen enough?"
Niu Youdao was used to her frivolous words. He ignored her and asked, "Just you?"
Guan Fangyi raised her chin. "Isn't Uncle Chen a human?"
Niu Youdao said, "Just the two of you? Since you've guessed that the other party is setting a trap, don't be careless! "
"I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to remind me!" Guan Fangyi slapped his face with the fan. She turned around and shouted, "Uncle Chen!"
Crack! Uncle Chen whipped the carriage and it started to move.
Pretty boy? Niu Youdao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He realized that he seemed to be the kind of person who lived off a woman. He turned around and asked Xu Laoliu, "Only your boss and Uncle Chen are going?"
He didn't quite believe it.
Xu Laoliu said, "Sir, don't worry. Under normal circumstances, there won't be any problems. As long as it's not someone we can't afford to offend, there aren't many people who can stop Boss and Uncle Chen. Too many people will only be a burden to Boss and Uncle Chen!"
These words really shocked Niu Youdao. Could it be that Guan Fangyi was the kind of person who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger? Otherwise, how would Xu Laoliu dare to speak such arrogant words?
Unfortunately, Xu Laoliu had said all that he could. When he asked why, he wasn't willing to explain in detail …
Outside the city, on a riverbank overgrown with weeds, a large ship anchored.
A carriage drove over. It had no way to get close, so it could only stop in the distance.
Uncle Chen got out of the car, rolled up the curtains, and reached out to help Guan Fangyi down.
Guan Fangyi slowly waved the circular fan in her hand and stared at the boat on the riverbank, while Uncle Chen coldly observed the surroundings.
Guan Fangyi waved the fan in her hand, and the weeds in front of her fell down, flattening out a path that she could walk on. She waved the fan calmly and walked forward.
A gust of wind blew, stirring up the weeds, setting off the woman's charm …
"Dong … Ding ding, dong dong …"
Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of a zither. Niu Youdao, who was lazily lying on a recliner, opened his eyes and asked, "Who's playing the zither?"
Since Fufang Garden was so big, the sound of the zither definitely didn't come from outside.
Xu Laoliu waved his hand at the door, and someone immediately went to investigate.
After a while, the person returned and reported, "It's the sound of a zither coming from Mister Linghu's courtyard."
Niu Youdao's eyebrows twitched. He got up and slowly walked out of the courtyard, following the direction of the zither sound.
The zither sound reminded him that he should ask Hong Xiu and Hong Fu about the situation on Linghu Qiu's side.
Xu Laoliu led four people and followed behind …
On the ship, a man dressed in luxurious clothes stood in front of the cabin window with his hands behind his back. He looked at Guan Fangyi and Uncle Chen who were walking over, tilted his head and asked, "Just the two of them?"
The attendant beside him replied, "It's just the two of them. The spies in the surroundings didn't find anyone else."
The man in luxurious clothes muttered, "This woman is quite bold."
He turned around and left the cabin. He stood on the deck and looked down at the two approaching people.
Guan Fangyi and Uncle Chen stopped below. The latter was paying attention to the surroundings. Guan Fangyi looked up and said, "Fufang Garden's Matchmaker is here. I'm here to solve the problem with sincerity. May the manager come out and answer me?"
The man in luxurious clothes said, "I'm the buyer. Qi Capital's Matchmaker, I've heard a lot about you! "
Guan Fangyi said, "Oh, my apologies. May I know your name?"
The man in luxurious clothes said, "That's not important. What's important is, who's going to compensate for my losses?" He raised his hand and made a light gesture. A group of people appeared on the ship. More than ten people also appeared and flew over, surrounding Guan Fangyi and Uncle Chen.
Guan Fangyi slowly waved her circular fan and looked around. She said, "Pay for what needs to be paid and make up for what needs to be compensated. Everything can be discussed. Where are my people?"
Snap! The man in luxurious clothes snapped his fingers behind his back.
Very soon, Thirteenth of Fufang Garden was escorted out. He looked a little haggard. It was obvious that he had suffered.
Thirteenth was a little emotional when he saw Guan Fangyi. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He struggled for a while, but he was restrained and couldn't resist.
One hand was holding his neck and could take his life at any time!
Guan Fangyi waved her fan and said, "Let him speak! I have to make sure he's okay. "
The man in luxurious clothes tilted his head and nodded. The restriction on Thirteenth's body was removed. He immediately said loudly, "Boss, this is a trap set by them. The buyer and the seller are most likely in cahoots."
"What's the point of pushing the blame?" The man in luxurious clothes sneered. His people were already in his hands.
"Shut up. What's with all this nonsense? If you're defeated, then you're defeated. You can only blame yourself for being blind." Guan Fangyi glared at Thirteenth Brother and berated him. She then asked, "Are you alright?"
Thirteenth shook his head. "Just a small injury. I'm fine!"
"That's good!" Guan Fangyi nodded. She waved her fan again and smiled at the man in luxurious clothes. "I'm here. Let him go!"
The man in luxurious clothes said, "That's easy. We just need to discuss the compensation first."
Guan Fangyi said without hesitation, "Give me a number!"
The man in luxurious clothes said, "Good! I've lost three million gold coins. What do you think? "
Guan Fangyi tilted her head and nodded at Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen immediately took off the bulging pouch hanging from his waist and handed it to her.
Guan Fangyi waved the pouch and said, "Three million gold coins are here. Let him go!"
The well-dressed man paused for a moment. He didn't expect that Guan Fangyi would be so straightforward to hand over 3 million gold coins. After exchanging glances with his attendants, he chuckled and said, "Qi Jing's Matchmaker sure has a deep pocket. It seems like 3 million gold coins are nothing to you. Three million is enough to settle the accounts, but how are we going to settle the accounts of so many of our brothers being tortured? "
Guan Fangyi said with a faint smile, "How do you want to settle it?"
The man in luxurious clothes glanced at her body and suddenly joked, "I've long heard of Qi Jing's Matchmaker's beauty. Now that I've seen you today, you really are a beautiful woman. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity? How about this, you stay with me for a night. Consider it compensation for tormenting us. What do you think? "
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of snickering around.
Thirteenth Brother said angrily, "Shameless!"
"Shut up!" Guan Fangyi yelled at him again.
Thirteenth Brother bit his lip and lowered his head.
Uncle Chen's expression was calm.
Guan Fangyi waved her fan and smiled at the man in luxurious clothes. "I've seen all kinds of men. It doesn't matter if you're here or not. Spending a night with you isn't a problem. The problem is, how do I know if you'll keep your word after this?"
The well-dressed man raised his chin and gestured to her surroundings. "Is there any room for you to bargain here?" he asked.
Guan Fangyi said calmly, "I, the Matchmaker, have been in Qi Jing for so many years. I know a few people who can be of use. Since I've dared to come, how can I not be prepared? Do you believe that people will rush here as soon as there's a fight? "
The man in luxurious clothes looked around and felt a tinge of fear. This was what puzzled him earlier. As far as he knew, there were people in Fufang Garden. Why were there only two people?
He would not believe it if he said that he was not prepared at all.
Guan Fangyi continued, "I didn't bring people here directly because I didn't want to cause trouble. Fighting and killing won't benefit anyone. If we can resolve this peacefully, then there's no need to make enemies. How about this, you let them go and I'll stay with you for a night. The money is also yours. You can have both the woman and the money, but you have to keep your promise and let me go tomorrow morning. How about that? "
This time, it was the man in luxurious clothes who was confused. "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"
Guan Fangyi said, "I've already said that I wouldn't have dared to come if I didn't have the confidence. Since I've come, I'm not afraid of trouble. If you and I keep our promise, then we'll live in harmony. If you go back on your word, then don't even think about getting away with it!"
The man in luxurious clothes hesitated and looked around to see what the others were thinking.
Guan Fangyi said disdainfully, "You want to sleep with me with that little bit of courage? I'll stay here alone. What do you have to be afraid of? Even if something happens, it's better to deal with me alone than to deal with one or two more people, right? Can't you calculate this clearly? I'll stay here and be your hostage. What else do you have to be afraid of? It's better than taking my men hostage! "
The man in luxurious clothes pondered for a moment and nodded. "Fine! It's settled then. Let him go! "The corner of his mouth curled up into an almost imperceptible smile.
As long as Guan Fangyi fell into his hands, his goal would be achieved. Everything else wasn't important. When the time came, Guan Fangyi wouldn't be able to decide how to deal with her. He would let her think that she was infallible first.
Thirteenth was released. He staggered and fell to the ground outside the encirclement.
Guan Fangyi tilted her head to signal to Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen bowed slightly and turned to leave. The encirclement released him.
Uncle Chen helped Thirteenth up and undid the restriction on him. Then, he pulled Thirteenth and flew away.
The encirclement moved forward to capture Guan Fangyi.
"What's the rush? They haven't gone far yet. How do I know that you won't stop them?" Guan Fangyi waved her fan and shouted toward the ship. "Don't force me to do something desperate. Don't tell me that you can't even wait for this little bit of time?"
The man in luxurious clothes raised his hand and stopped the people below.
