"Yes!" Everyone's uniform answer eased the tense atmosphere in the tent, but added a sense of solemnity.
Everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner, and suddenly only Fang Zilan, Vice General Li and Awan were left in the main account.
"I asked you to investigate Sanyuan Village, how did your investigation go?" Fang Zilan suppressed the anger in her eyes, but she still looked indifferent as usual.
Lieutenant General Li did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly told everything he found out, "Sanyuan Village was built after you, boss, returned to the court in victory. At that time, a group of merchants and barbarians who were suppressed by the Jin people and traveled to the desert were When people heard that the Jin people were destroyed and burned by the Gilded City, they came all the way from the desert to seek protection from the capital."
Vice General Li paused for a moment and continued: "Master Zhong was kind and asked General Huangfu to take in this group of people. However, the people in the north have been tortured by the barbarians for so many years, so we cannot let these people stay in Yanzhou. In the city, Qi Canjun proposed to build a village for this group of people outside Yanzhou City, which is Sanyuan Village."
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "In other words, it was Qi Yuming's idea to build Sanyuan Village?"
Vice General Li nodded, "Yes, I also heard that Qi Canjun volunteered to lead people to build Sanyuan Village. Even the name Sanyuan Village was given by Qi Canjun."
"He does take it seriously." Fang Zilan replied lukewarmly, and Vice General Li also agreed, "That's true. And after seeing what Qi Canjun did these days in the army, I don't think he is a bad person."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan suddenly chuckled, "Lao Li, do you think I'm good or bad?"
"Boss, of course you are a good person." Vice General Li answered quickly, but Fang Zilan still just smiled, "There is no such thing as good or bad, let alone there is no absolute good or bad in this world, there are so many people who can't struggle between good and bad. People. That’s all, you go and do your work first.”
Lieutenant General Li looked confused when he heard this, and turned around and left without saying much.
A Wan's eyes were full of worry. Fang Zilan knew what she was worried about without having to guess, but she couldn't help but feared that it would only make her worry in the end.
"I'll go to Sanyuan Village with you." There was a hint of determination in Awan's tone. It's not that Fang Zilan didn't hear it, but she still pretended to be relaxed, "No, you stay in the camp."
"Fang Zilan!" Awan frowned, "How long has it been? Do you know that your body can't hold on for long?"
"I know, that's why you can't go." Fang Zilan sighed and lowered his eyes, "Awan, you are a medical woman. Only by saving your life can you save mine. I know this better than anyone else. So I can’t put you in danger.”
"But I can't come back to life, do you know..." A Wan's voice was extremely urgent, and Fang Zilan was even more serious and cold towards her, "I know. But A Wan, you also know very well that I have no way out. Fang Zilan must ensure the peace of the North for one day in the Northern Territory, this is not a joke."
Awan didn't speak, just biting her lower lip, worry and resentment in her eyes intertwined into indescribable complex emotions.
After a long time, Fang Zilan heard her voice, "Then you must come back safely. I will wait for you at the military camp." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and raised her little finger.
Fang Zilan's lips curved slightly, but it was indescribably heavy. She reached out her hand without hesitation and hooked Awan's fingertips with her little finger.
Just like when she was in the ghost gate before, it was the same before every mission.
Vice Admiral Cao's loud voice soon sounded outside the tent, "Boss, everything is ready."
Fang Zilan took a deep look at Awan, smiled and turned around to leave the tent.
Awan could only hear the chaotic sound of horse hooves outside the tent, and Fang Zilan's departure, which made the strings in her heart tighten again.
Although she was just going to the small Sanyuan Village, she felt inexplicably uneasy when she remembered that Fang Zilan had been poisoned by the bone-eroding poison in Sanyuan Village last time.
Along the way, Vice General Qin told Fang Zilan about the situation in Sanyuan Village, which was similar to what Vice General Li said. Fang Zilan just listened and said nothing.
"There are one hundred and ninety-eight households in Sanyuan Village. Most of them are Rong, Di and Baiyu people, and a few are from other tribes." Vice General Qin spoke in great detail, making Fang Zilan stunned for a moment, "Qin The deputy general knows Sanyuan Village very well."
"I'm ashamed to say that the general doesn't know much about it." Vice General Qin looked at Fang Zilan with a bit of embarrassment, "These are what Qi Canjun and the general said. Sometimes Qi Canjun goes back to Yanzhou City for business and can't take care of it. I will be asked to go to Sanyuan Village to take a look at some time."
Fang Zilan asked curiously: "Qi Yuming, has a good relationship with the people in Sanyuan Village?"
Vice General Qin nodded in agreement, "More than just a good relationship, everyone in Sanyuan Village, whether adults or children, knows Qi Canjun. They would invite Qi Canjun over during festivals or when someone's family has a happy event. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sanyuan Village was first built. At that time, people from the village came to the military camp to ask Qi Canjun and gave him mooncakes."
"Really?" Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, with a hint of doubt. Even she herself was a little confused, wondering whether it was Qi Yuming or her own judgment that she doubted.
"Boss, Sanyuan Village is almost here!" Vice General Cao's words pulled Fang Zilan out of her thoughts. She nodded to indicate that she knew, and then asked: "Where are the people who were just sent out to explore the road?"
"Not back yet." Vice General Cao looked solemn, and Vice General Qin also frowned, "That shouldn't be the case."
Just when the three of them felt strange, Vice General Cao spotted a soldier running towards them not far away and shouted: "Boss, look!"
Someone among the soldiers behind Fang Zilan quickly recognized that he was one of the two pathfinders just sent out. His horse was lost somewhere and he was limping as if he was seriously injured.
However, when he came closer, everyone realized that his body was covered in blood and he was only breathing.
Vice General Qin dismounted his horse and stepped forward to support the pathfinder, with a concerned look on his face: "What happened?"
"Wolf..." The explorer was so angry that he said, "Sanyuan Village...the entrance to the village...are all..." He died before he could finish his words.
Lieutenant General Qin looked stern and looked up at Fang Zilan who was on the horse. He saw that her expression was as cold as ice and her eyes were as fierce as Yama in a ghost prison. She spoke like a rock, "Everyone, rush to Sanyuan Village at full speed." !”
"Yes!" The soldiers' shouts of common hatred resounded throughout the sky, but at this moment, the people in Sanyuan Village were completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Qi Yuming looked at the woman in front of him coldly, his expression as calm as water. The person tied to the beams next to them was none other than Shangguan Min. His body was covered in blood, but none of it was his.
