"You..." Awan looked at Fang Zilan blankly, and only heard her say: "I just want those who are fighting openly and secretly to know what is going on here, so that they can understand each other. In a moment, It is impossible to lift the blockade in time, and what I have to do is to go with the trend, agree with them on a deadline, and try to buy as much time as possible."
"But we haven't gone to Linjia Village yet, that's where the plague is most serious." A trace of worry flashed across Awan's face, "If it's Linjia Village..."
"If there is such an eventuality..." Fang Zilan's expression showed a hint of determination, "What should be burned must be burned."
Awan bit her lip and finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and make preparations first. After you meet Mr. Su and Vice General Cao, we will go to Linjia Village."
Fang Zilan nodded, "After you go back, don't reveal our whereabouts to anyone."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." After Awan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Fang Zilan waited by the fence for two days. During this period, Awan came to bring her meals from time to time and chatted about the situation in the town. Awan told her that Wang Shen told the outside world that she was looking for medicine and helped cover up her whereabouts.
"Looking for medicine?" Fang Zilan curled her lips and smiled, "He will find reasons."
"You too, why do you have to wait here? Even though it's almost summer, it's still very cold at night." Awan said and put the cloak on her body, "Be careful of catching cold and getting sick."
"Aren't I afraid that Su Yun and Lao Cao are here and will be anxious if they can't find me?" Fang Zilan wrapped her cloak tighter, "It's okay for Su Yun, but if Lao Cao can't see me, he will probably He rushed in. In the current situation, Lao Cao can't get out after he enters, so why let him take the risk for nothing?"
Awan sighed and said: "You have a point, but I can't say anything about you. However, you must take your medicine on time."
Fang Zilan stretched out his palm and spread it in front of her, "Has the new medicine been prepared?"
"It's not a new medicine." Awan took out a pill and put it in her palm, "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to help you make new medicines? What's more, the medicinal materials for new medicines are scarce and hard to find here. , let’s wait until we get back to Beijing.”
"Thank you for your hard work, little Awan." Fang Zilan took the medicine and pinched her face, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
"You can stay up for one more night at most, otherwise..." Awan was interrupted before she could finish her words, "I know it in my heart. It's not like I had a good rest the past few days, otherwise how could I have dared to survive like this? Tonight is the deadline. If I still can’t see anyone, I should go out.”
As soon as she said this, Awan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then I will accompany you tonight."
Fang Zilan waved her hand and said, "No need." Before she could finish her words, she was drowned out by a loud "Boss".
She and Awan looked at the person coming in unison, and saw Deputy General Cao running over quickly with a lantern, but she stopped him in front of the fence, "Old Cao, don't come here!"
Vice General Cao obediently stopped, and behind him was Su Yun's breathless voice, "Vice General Cao, wait for me..."
Seeing this, Awan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you here with Mr. Su?"
"The horse was tired and fell down after running for less than two days." Vice Admiral Cao rubbed the back of his head helplessly, "In addition, the road was closed, and there was not even a soul on the road. I could only walk with Mr. Su. Come here. If Mr. Su hadn't been slow in walking, the evening would have arrived anyway, so there would be no need to ask the boss to wait here."
"After all, I am a civil servant, and my walking distance is natural...I can't keep up with you...who are marching and fighting..." Su Yun stood beside Deputy General Cao out of breath, "But, I finally...caught up... …”
Behind them were several soldiers, standing neatly not far from them.
Su Yun folded his hands loosely and was about to salute, when Fang Zilan said: "Master Su, there is no need to be polite. You need to take a breath before speaking."
As she spoke, she took a step back calmly. Vice General Cao was stunned on the spot, "Boss, what are you..."
"Don't worry, I haven't contracted the plague. But after all, I live with people who are infected day and night. For your safety, it's better to stay away." Fang Zilan comforted her with a warm voice, and then said seriously: "I have something to say to you. explain."
Hearing this, Vice Admiral Cao looked solemn. Su Yun, who was patting his chest in relief, also put down his hands and stood up straight, "Master Fang, please speak."
"The plague can be cured, and now many infected people have been cured." As soon as Fang Zilan's words came out, Vice General Cao said happily: "This is good news!"
"Yes and no." Su Yun looked at Fang Zilan and said, "In that case, why doesn't Mr. Fang come out?"
His words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing Vice General Cao's joy. He muttered: "Boss..."
Fang Zilan did not respond to their words, but said solemnly: "The source of the plague is in Linjia Village, which is the place where the plague is most serious. Miss Yan'er of Xiahou's family should be there, and I will go there to confirm the situation later. If there is a plague by then, Once it’s under control, the road closures can be lifted.”
Su Yun looked hesitant. Fang Zilan glanced at him and continued, "Mr. Su, I won't embarrass you. I came to you to ask you to agree on a time limit with people outside for me."
"People outside?" Su Yun repeated these four words and quickly understood what she meant.
"I won't let you wait endlessly." Fang Zilan's expression was very calm, but there was an undeniable power in his tone. "After half a month, if the plague is still uncontrollable, do whatever you want to do."
"Boss!" Vice General Cao suddenly changed his expression, "Once the fire is set..."
"I know." Fang Zilan interrupted him lightly, "Since I dare to say this, it must be after careful consideration. Now the plague in the town is basically under control, and the blockade will be lifted in less than ten days. .”
"What do you mean?" Su Yun frowned slightly, and Fang Zilan explained: "It is okay to block roads, but it must be done step by step and narrow the scope of road blockades. For villages and towns that have controlled the plague and are slowly returning to normal, the blockade can naturally be lifted. But like Like Linjia Village, places where the plague is serious should be sealed off."
Su Yun said clearly: "In this way, the people inside the blockade will be encouraged and hopeful when they see that the blockade has been lifted. And the people outside the blockade will be able to move freely, and they will see a new look. The situation will be stable. Living."
"That's right." Fang Zilan nodded approvingly and said, "But even if the blockade is lifted, people must be ordered to stay at home for observation for a period of time. Once it is confirmed that there is no obstruction, it will not be too late to come and go freely."
"Okay." Su Yun agreed without hesitation: "Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely make an appointment for Lord Fang within half a month."
Deputy General Cao on the side couldn't help but gear up, "Boss, what about me?"
