Chapter 40: Fighting Alone
When the city gate was almost opened, several people paid the money and left the inn.
Walking this way, everyone who got up early in the morning looked at them, Ji Fan probably guessed something, and he couldn't get out today.
Sure enough, he was stopped by the guards guarding the city, saying that the city lord had something to meet.
β¦β¦
"How many of them are friends of Song Qiufeng and Song City Lord?" Gu Youcai smiled kindly, and Ji Fan recognized at a glance that this was the person who taught the **** to pretend to be dumb and beg.
It's really not local there, and I don't know what to do, so intuition is not a good thing.
"Don't be nervous, the Song City Lord used to be a close friend." As he spoke, he motioned to the servant to show the four of them tea.
Ji Fan habitually pointed at the table with his left index finger and knocked it for the third time, "Yes, I am indeed a good friend of Song Qiufeng, but I don't have a deep friendship, so I don't care about the city lord's friendship with him." β
"I see, I heard that a few people came to the town, and I wanted to have a good reception, but I didn't want you to leave." Gu Youcai was kind and kind-eyed, and after a few words, it was already unfortified, "It's better to do the east in the next, take a few people to feel the customs of a few Japanese towns, and the food and accommodation are responsible for the next few people, how about a few people?" β
Bu Wan subconsciously went to sweep Ji Fan, and when he saw him, he seemed to want to stay.
"It's good that I'm a good friend of Song Qiufeng, but I don't have anything to do with these three, I'm afraid it will disturb the city lord's purity."
Gu Youcai waved his hand, "But these three are also your friends, aren't they?" Then you don't have to be restricted. β
Ji Fan hesitated for a while, and leaned over to Gu Youcai's side and whispered, "I also just met them in the imperial city, so I really can't talk about friends or friends, and I think they have a very good background......
The whisper was whispered, but it just made a few people listen to it.
Gu Youcai stroked his mustache and smiled deeply, "I don't know what you call it?" β
"In the next season, the surname is a single word."
"Seeing that you are a clever person, if you stay and follow me, you will not dare to say that you will be rich and noble, and it is okay to ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing."
Bu Wan stretched out his feet and kicked over the low stool in front of him, "What do you think of us?" Staring at Ji Fan, he was furious.
Yin Qinglan and Cheng Hu were silent, Ji Fan broke off the relationship with them for their good, so he didn't plan to open his mouth for fear of adding chaos to the side.
Bu Wan naturally knew that Ji Fan was not greedy for wealth, so there must be something wrong with this Laoshizi city lord, but he left them out, and obviously didn't want to face them together, so he didn't trust it.
Since he had not mentioned anything to them about the lord of the city, nor had he consulted with them, he had at first only said that he would go out of the city as much as he could, and he did not say what had happened, and now he wanted to save them by discarding his relations, which was disgusting.
Ji Fan immediately understood what Bu Wan was angry about, half-lowered his eyelids, and smiled humbly, "We have an excellent relationship, Miss Bu is too careful." β
Obviously, it was a clichΓ© deliberately said to the city lord, making him feel that he was just a young man who was greedy for wealth and did not dare to tear his face with them, what threat did such a person have?
Bu Wan couldn't get along with him, and it was not good to expose him at this time and bring trouble to several people, Xin Dao Ji Fan is also a pretend, if it weren't for her full trust in him, she would definitely feel that he was that kind of villain at this time.
But Buwan also found that Ji Fan didn't trust them at all, and maybe he didn't put them in the same or very important position in his heart, that is to say, he didn't care very much about losing them, and maybe he also had attachments, but maybe he wouldn't be too sad even if he parted ways.
Thinking like this is by no means that she is narrow-minded and makes a conclusion just because of this one thing, but she can detect it all the way, Ji Fan has drawn a line, he has enclosed himself in a circle, and it is unintentional, he only subconsciously isolates them by instinct.
Because it was obvious that Bu Wan could clearly feel that he didn't mean to, but was used to it, so she could also feel that Ji Fan had never trusted them and never wanted to open his heart.
Gu Youcai also had a plan in his heart, these people were met by Ji Fan in the imperial city, and looking at his humble appearance, he could probably guess that several people were from extraordinary backgrounds, but he couldn't be provoked.
This is exactly what Ji Fan wants him to understand, he can't provoke any of these three people.
"Don't worry about this girl, maybe she is not considerate of the guests, so she will arrange a place for a few people, if you really don't want to succumb to live here, you won't be forced to stay here."
"The city lord doesn't know, these three are all noble people, and they were annoyed by the poor conditions all the way in the morning, and I am afraid that I will also want to go back at this time, and I will be unhappy if I stay for a long time."
Unhappy? He was right, Bu Wan was really unhappy now.
Yin Qinglan smiled, "I'm a little tired at this time, and I also have the idea of going home, it's definitely not that the city lord is not considerate, let alone condescending, just thinking about the family for fear that my parents will care." β
Cheng Hu nodded, "I won't bother anymore, I'm afraid it will disturb the peace of the city lord." β
"Do you know the way back?" Ji Fan sat upright, and when he asked, he meant that he didn't plan to be with a few people.
"I know, I remember this journey very clearly."
"Then I'll be relieved, and I won't be far away."
The two of them left themselves out according to Ji Fan's thoughts, and Ji Fan secretly sighed that the two of them were smart and knew his thoughts at a glance.
It stands to reason that even if Bu Wan didn't say anything, she could follow them and leave, but she didn't plan to move when she was in place.
Cheng Hu went to pull her sleeve and motioned her to leave as much as possible, don't add to Ji Fan's extra trouble here, but she was very stubborn and didn't want to follow his wishes.
"Coincidentally, the two of them want to go back, but like Ji Fan, I want to stay here for a few more days to experience the customs and customs, and I am tired of the city lord arranging a place for me."
Gu Youcai didn't refuse, "I'll arrange it." β
The subordinates led Yin Qinglan Chenghu out of the house, although they wanted to pull Buwan together, it can be seen that she is very difficult, so they can only secretly hope that Ji Fan can think of a way to cure her.
Ji Fan secretly glanced at her in private, looking unkind.
He was angry, Bu Wan still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he just wanted to face it with him, he wanted to clear up the relationship, she didn't, he didn't want to open his heart to them, she just tore a hole and bleed out to make him soften.
After settling down, Bu Wan personally led Saifei down to feed the grain and grass, and Saifei was also very obedient.
It's still easier for animals to guess, eat when they're hungry, rest when they're tired, don't bother guessing how it thinks of you, as long as you're good to it, it's good to you, follow you, listen to you.
patted Saifei, Bu Wan smiled, she was really glad that she asked her father for this horse, otherwise she would definitely be very lonely.
She is not as strong as others think, to be honest, she doesn't like loneliness very much, and the feeling of fighting alone is never pleasant, so she doesn't want Ji Fan to be the same, she doesn't want him to always face it alone.
