"Old Cao, you have to guard the half-month period for me." Fang Zilan said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid that even if some people agree to the agreement on the surface, they will still get in trouble secretly. Therefore, I want you to personally lead the troops and guard the blockade. outside.”
"Don't worry, boss, keep it on me!" Lao Cao agreed, and Fang Zilan warned: "You and your people must wear face masks and pay attention to safety. Don't be as reckless as today, without any protection..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an urgent voice, "Miss A-Lan, Miss A-Wan, I finally found you!"
Fang Zilan looked back and saw Yun Qinghan walking quickly towards them holding a lantern, followed by Wang Shen and a group of people in the town.
Seeing this, she whispered to Su Yun and Deputy General Cao: "You should pay attention to protection and stand back." The two of them took a few steps back and stood a little further apart as she said.
Yun Qinghan ran to Fang Zilan and Awan, held up the lantern and looked at them carefully for a while, then said, "Fortunately, you are okay."
"What happened?" Fang Zilan looked puzzled. Wang Shen answered her: "Miss Yun said that Miss Awan came out to find you and has not returned yet, lest something happened to you two. It was too late to let Yun The girl is searching alone, so I will accompany her."
After saying that, he looked at Su Yun, Vice General Cao, and the soldiers not far behind her, and couldn't help but ask: "Who are these?"
Su Yun was stunned for a moment and said nothing. However, Vice General Cao couldn't bear his temper and said: "Boss..."
However, before he could say anything, he was cut off by Wang Shen, "Miss A Lan, this military commander calls you boss, you..."
Fang Zilan glanced at Wang Shen and saw that although he was surprised and hesitant when speaking, his expression was still calm. Then he looked at the people in the town behind him, and he immediately had concerns in his mind.
She hummed lightly, took out the Duke's token and showed it in front of everyone, "I am Fang Zilan, the Duke of Yue Kingdom in Dajing."
Yun Qinghan stared blankly at the token in front of her, unable to react for a long time, "Miss A Lan, you..."
Wang Shen pulled Yun Qinghan, who was staying on the spot, and suddenly knelt in front of Fang Zilan, "Master Fang, I didn't expect it to be you!"
After saying that, he straightened up and shouted to the people in the town behind him: "Look, it's really Mr. Fang! Dajing didn't give up on us, Mr. Fang came to save us personally!"
As soon as he said this, the hesitant people behind him knelt on the ground in twos and threes. Su Yun, Vice General Cao and a few soldiers reacted and bowed respectfully. Even Awan bowed.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan held the token and said solemnly: "I assure you in the name of the Duke of Yue in Dajing that Dajing will never give up on anyone. Now the plague in the town has been brought under control, and the lockdown will be lifted in less than ten days. "
The people who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at her, "Master Fang, are you really going to lift the seal?"
Fang Zilan looked at the lanterns meandering around, glowing against the dark night. The eyes of the lantern owner are brighter than the firelight because they are full of hope.
So she bowed solemnly and said: "If the seal cannot be lifted, I will advance and retreat with you here. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day."
Her last words were so serious that Deputy General Cao couldn't help but raise his head and look at her, but he couldn't even say a word of dissuasion. In the end, it turned into a firm "Boss, I'll accompany you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people kneeling on the ground all echoed:
"Yes, Master Fang is with us, what should we be afraid of?"
"Master Fang has helped cure so many people in the town these days, we believe in Master Fang!"
"Dajing has not given up on us. The lockdown will be lifted. The lockdown will definitely be lifted!"
The crowd was roaring with voices, one wave after another, like a sudden thunder in the darkness, causing a great sensation.
That night, everyone in the southeast knew that Master Zilan, the Duke of Yue State, had been with them all along. This news spread from one person to another and became a new legend in the southeast.
As for Fang Zilan himself, after dismissing everyone that night, he called Wang Shen and said, "Master Shen, please stay."
Wang Shen stopped, turned around, bowed to her and said, "Master Fang, just call me by my name. The title of Young Master Shen, coming from Master Fang's mouth, is really embarrassing to me."
"Young Master Shen, there is no need to be humble. You deserve it." Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him steadily and said solemnly: "You have guessed my identity a long time ago. It is a good idea to make my identity public tonight in the name of searching for someone." .”
"Sure enough, we can't hide it from Mr. Fang." Wang Shen's lips curled up slightly, "Since Mr. Fang is willing to risk his life for us, then naturally we can't let Mr. Fang down. What I did tonight was just to let Mr. Fang know that from this moment on Starting from now on, all the people in the southeast are Lord Fang’s backing and swear to live and die together with Lord Fang.”
"How do you count what you say alone?" Fang Zilan asked in a leisurely manner. Wang Shen smiled and said, "How about I collect the books of all peoples and show them to Master Fang?"
Fang Zilan relaxed and said in a drawl: "You still have so much free time, why not..."
"Master Fang was joking." Wang Shen quickly waved his hand, "I suddenly remembered that there was something else at home, so I left first." After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but heard Fang Zilan's voice coming from behind, "Master Shen, Thank you."
Wang Shen didn't look back. Fang Zilan watched his figure disappear into the darkness, then took Awan's hand beside him, "Let's go, let's go back too."
Awan let her lead him away and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death just now. I thought they would be eager to cut you into pieces if they knew your identity."
"If we had made our identities clear when we first arrived, we would have been torn into pieces." Fang Zilan smiled self-deprecatingly, "After all, everyone in the town thought they had been abandoned. In their eyes, the two of us were either fake. The replacement Xibei goods are either mediocre officials who do nothing."
"It's not the two of us, it's you." Awan corrected him seriously: "I don't have an official position and I am light."
"Yes." Fang Zilan smiled helplessly, "Wang Shen did an excellent job in choosing the right time and inciting the people. In this way, even if King Rongan is ruthless, he will still be afraid."
"Then can we go to Linjia Village to find Miss Yan'er?" Awan said in a cheerful tone, and Fang Zilan nodded, "After the situation stabilizes in two days and the town is unblocked, we will go to Linjia Village."
A flash of worry flashed in Awan's eyes, "Can the lockdown really be lifted so soon?"
Fang Zilan did not answer, but the facts proved that her prediction was correct. On the seventh day after Su Yun and Vice General Cao left, the villages and towns that had originally blocked roads gradually lifted the blockade.
So Fang Zilan and Awan embarked on the road to Linjia Village without hesitation. Vice General Cao, who was guarding the road behind them, wrapped his face in a thick face towel and watched them leave.
However, before they had gone far, they were stopped by a clear voice, "Sister Lan, wait a minute."
