Chapter 31: Fang Qian's Stories (Part )
The people arguing in the second hall were none other than Hu Jinghui and General Yin Cao.

When Hu Jinghui heard that Di Renjie had taken Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang into the secret passage, he became extremely anxious.

So he wanted to take people into the secret passage immediately to protect Di Renjie's safety.

But because of Di Renjie's order, the military officer of Yincao did not dare to let Hu Jinghui go.

Hu Jinghui spoke in a very fierce tone. He grabbed General Yincao's clothes and lifted him up.

"Master Di has been in the secret passage for such a long time and still hasn't come out. Something must have happened. I will go down now!"

Yin Cao was terrified and begged, "General Hu, Lord Di has specifically ordered that no one can enter the secret passage without his order."

"Get out of the way! I'm telling you, if anything happens to Lord Di, you won't be able to bear the consequences!" Hu Jinghui pushed General Yin Cao away and threw him to the ground.

Seeing Hu Jinghui's ferocious look, the people around him didn't dare to step forward to block the way.

Hu Jinghui did not stop him and led his guards into the secret passage.

Just at this moment, Di Renjie had already walked to the exit of the secret passage, and Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang followed closely behind with Fang Qian in their arms.

Di Renjie heard what Hu Jinghui said and quickly said, "Jinghui, don't worry, we will be here soon."

As soon as Hu Jinghui heard Di Renjie's voice, he immediately bent down and reached for the entrance of the secret passage.

"Come, sir, give me your hand, I will pull you up."

As he spoke, he carefully controlled the strength and slowly pulled Di Renjie up.

After Hu Jinghui pulled Di Renjie up, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his expression to one of blame.

"My Lord, you can just let Chengyuan, Yuanfang and the others go. Why take the risk yourself? If anything happens to you, how will I explain to His Majesty?"

Di Renjie brushed off the dust on his clothes and said with a nonchalant smile: "Oh, isn't this all right?"

"By the way, Jinghui, why are you here in the governor's mansion?" Di Renjie asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Hu Jinghui took out a list from his arms and handed it to Di Renjie.

"The Youzhou camp has been rectified. I have compiled a list of personnel transfers and promotions and came to ask for your approval. After searching around, I found out that you are here."

Di Renjie reached out to take the list, but before he could move, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang supported Fang Qian and walked out of the secret passage.

When Hu Jinghui saw it, his acting skills burst out instantly and his expression froze, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Fang...Fang Qian, you are not dead?"

Fang Qian looked at Di Renjie with a puzzled expression: "Di Gong, this..."

Seeing these two movie kings acting on the same stage, Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "General Hu, this is the real Youzhou Governor Fang."

"What, what?" Hu Jinghui looked like his brain had crashed, as if he still didn't understand.

"Lord Fang was imprisoned in a secret passage by the rebels, and we just found him." Di Renjie explained.

After hearing Di Renjie's explanation, Hu Jinghui was finally no longer confused.

"Are you really Mr. Fang?"

"Yes, I am Fang Qian."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jinghui quickly apologized to Fang Qian, and Fang Qian didn't take it to heart.

The two of them seemed like old friends meeting again, feeling sorry for not meeting each other earlier, leaving everyone around them stunned.

Having watched the rivalry between the two movie kings, Zhao got what he wanted and was very satisfied.

"This is the veteran actor." Zhao Ji praised secretly.

Hu Jinghui is extremely cunning and has found a very good time to enter the market.

Please give your approval regarding personnel transfer.

It was obvious that he was afraid that Di Renjie would not be able to find Fang Qian, so he ran here to play safe.

But the reason he found was extremely legitimate. How could the military personnel transfer not be approved by Di Renjie, the commander-in-chief?
But Di Renjie has never been a person who only looks at superficial phenomena.

As soon as the fake Fang Qian died, the real Fang Qian appeared within two days. This was a coincidence.

Today, Hu Jinghui arrived at the Governor's Mansion just when he discovered the secret passage. It was a coincidence, too coincidental. Di Renjie felt that something was wrong.

However, the trip to the Governor's Mansion gained a lot today. They found the secret passage and the real Fang Qian. He temporarily suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

Seeing Hu Jinghui and Fang Qian finish their greetings, Di Renjie smiled and said:

"Master Fang, you are freed from the prison today, which is cause for celebration. When you return to the Governor's Mansion, I will prepare a banquet for you to calm your nerves."

"Thank you for your concern." Fang Qian was willing to do so and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
-
Governor's Office, East Flower Hall.

Di Renjie prepared a banquet for Fang Qian, and the table was already filled with wine and food.

Zhao Ji, Li Yuanfang, and Hu Jinghui were all present, waiting for Fang Qian to bathe, change clothes, and come to the banquet.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Fang Qian.

Suddenly, the door of the opposite room opened.

However, the person who came out was not Fang Qian, but Di Chun and two servants.

Di Renjie asked in confusion: "Where is Lord Fang? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Di Chun replied, "Master Fang is still changing his clothes."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie scolded, "You are such a cunning Di Chun, why don't you help Lord Fang change his clothes?"

Di Chun quickly defended himself: "Master, you are wrongly accusing me. It was Lord Fang who asked us to leave."

Di Renjie was stunned, a little confused: "What's going on?"

Di Chun said: "He said he was not used to having someone waiting on him, so he just wanted to dress himself."

"I see. Well, you guys go down."

Di Renjie waved his hand, and Di Chun took two servants and went down.

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of meaning as he said, "This Lord Fang is really a little different."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Di Renjie asked curiously.

"Master Fang has been locked up in the tunnel for several years. I guess he hasn't had many opportunities to bathe and change clothes. I guess he must be rusty at dressing himself."

At this point, Zhao Ji paused and said, "Ordinary people would naturally let their servants do whatever they want, but he doesn't want anyone to serve him. Isn't this different?"

The clothes of the ancients were not something that could be put on by simply zipping up or buttoning like modern people do. Some clothes simply cannot be put on without help, and what Zhao Ji said does make sense.

When Hu Jinghui heard Zhao Ji's words that seemed to hint at something, the smile on his face froze for a moment.

Hu Jinghui quickly adjusted his expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "Chengyuan, you worry too much. I think this Lord Fang is used to being frugal and is not used to being served by servants."

When Zhao Ji saw Hu Jinghui jump out to refute, he knew that Hu Jinghui was a little anxious.

He did not argue with Hu Jinghui and replied calmly: "Maybe."

Listening to Hu Jinghui and Zhao Ji's different opinions, Di Renjie did not judge. He glanced at their faces and smiled faintly.

There was a sudden silence at the table, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, Fang Qian had already tidied up his appearance at this time and walked out of the room quickly.

He walked up to Di Renjie, prostrated himself on the ground and paid his respects.

"I would like to thank Lord Di for saving my life. Lord Di's kindness in giving me a new life will never be forgotten!"

Seeing Fang Qian performing a great salute, Di Renjie quickly stood up and helped him up.

"Please stand up quickly. Sir Fang, your words are too polite. This is also our duty. Ah, Sir Fang, please sit down."

Fang Qian bowed again to thank him for the meal, then sat down gently on the stool opposite Di Renjie, feeling a little reserved.

Seeing Fang Qian sitting down, Di Renjie winked at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji took something out of his bosom and placed it on the table. It was Fang Qian's governor's seal.

Di Renjie picked up one of the old pieces of colorful silk paper with gold flowers and gently unfolded it.

"Master Fang, do you recognize this kind of thing?"
