After staying in Daban Village for five days, Lin Yan and others returned the same way.
She was filled with great ambitions and wished she could return to Sun City immediately, gather the manpower, and march towards Wu Kingdom.
As for the relocation of Daban Village, Lin Yan didn't find it difficult. The whole village is destitute and all it takes is arrangements to bring people out.
Twenty days later, Lin Yan returned to Sun City. Along the way, she only stayed in Mingcheng for one day, and spent the rest of the time on the road.
Bai Yun and Minglan were surprised when they looked at Lin Yan, who was tired of life. They didn't expect her to come back so soon.
After confirming that he read it correctly, Bai Yun said: "I didn't say it would take a few months to come back. It's only been a month. What happened?"
Minglan poured her a glass of water, "Moisten your throat first and take a breath."
Lin Yan took it and drank it in big gulps. She came to see Baiyun, and happened to meet Minglan there.
"I want to borrow some people for a trip."
Now that we have just entered March, it is not too late to go out.
"Where to go?" Baiyun and Minglan said in unison.
The two looked at each other, and Bai Yun gave Minglan a wink, asking her to ask first.
Minglan didn't refuse and said directly: "You just came back. Where are you going? What did you find?"
No wonder this trip came back so quickly, it turned out that he still had to leave. In Minglan's heart, Lin Yan was a restless person.
She can concentrate on research and focus on one thing for a long time until she succeeds. Looking at her anxious look now, it was obvious that she had made up her mind.
I can only pray secretly that she won’t run too far away for more than half a year.
However, Minglan's expectations were destined to fail.
Lin Yan's eyes were shining, "I gained a lot from this trip. What do you think I found?"
Baiyun: "Have you found someone new again?"
Lin Yan shook his head.
Minglan: "You have discovered a new treasure, ore or something else. Do you want to find someone to dig for it?"
"None of them." Lin Yan couldn't wait any longer. "There is a rumor in Daban Village. A long time ago, there was a man in the village who came from the distant Wu Kingdom and left a parchment scroll. This is what you see."
Minglan and Baiyun watched carefully, but they couldn't understand Lin Yan's excitement.
Minglan: "Is this writing?" She pointed to the black writing on the parchment. It was completely different from their writing, and she didn't recognize any of them.
Bai Yun was also confused, "What is this painting?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "I don't know. But it must be the writing of the Wu Kingdom. I think this should be a map. Looking at the lines, it looks like mountains and rivers, but it's a bit more abstract."
"Since you can't understand, why are you so excited?" Bai Yun was still confused as to what Lin Yan wanted to do with someone.
Minglan realized later, "Are you going to find Wu Guo?"
"That's right. As soon as I got the news and confirmed the existence of the Wu Kingdom, I wanted to look for it immediately. Later, I calmed down and thought about it. I still need to make some preparations and find someone to accompany me. I'm going to come back now."
"Fortunately, you knew how to come back and left without caring." Minglan was in a very complicated mood at the moment, "Lin Yan, we don't know where the Wu Kingdom is, and we don't know when we can come back. Do you really want to go?"
Bai Yun was shocked and said, "You can't go. The Wu people lost half their lives when they arrived at Daban Village and died shortly after. This shows how dangerous the road is. You can't take risks. If you don't come back, let us What should people do?”
Minglan: "The alliance has only been established for a few years. Everything has just begun. You left like this. Who will lead the development of the alliance? The scientific research institute cannot do without you."
Although he knew that Bai Yun and Ming Lan were right to have concerns, Lin Yan had already thought clearly along the way that this trip was inevitable.
It’s okay if you don’t know. Now that it’s proven, move forward. Shuisheng and the others are in the alliance, and the general direction has been set, so there is no problem at all.
Even if I leave for a few years, it won't have much impact.
Lin Yan said seriously: "I have thought about everything you said. Although the alliance has just started, the development direction for the next five to ten years has been set. With you here, I feel relieved. Besides, I am just looking for Wu Guo , it’s not like I’ll never come back, it’s not that serious.”
Bai Yun and Minglan were silent. They also understood that these were all excuses to hold Lin Yan back. What they were most afraid of was that she would encounter unknown dangers.
No one knows where Wu Guo is. There are ferocious beasts everywhere outside, and it's hard to predict whether this will be good or bad. No one wanted Lin Yan to take risks and couldn't bear the consequences.
But looking at Lin Yan's determined look, who could stop her.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I haven't left yet. You guys are putting a lot of psychological burden on me."
"Do you really have to go?" Bai Yun couldn't help but fight for it again, as long as he could keep people.
Shaking his head firmly, Lin Yan put away his smile and said solemnly: "This is an idea I have had for a long time. There was no outside information before, so I had to postpone the plan. In fact, even if there is no news from the Wu Kingdom, it will take less than two years. I will go out. Now that I have a set goal, of course I have to move forward."
When Minglan saw this, she knew she couldn't stop him, "How many people do you want to take with you?"
"Ten people." Seeing that Bai Yun and Minglan were about to object, Lin Yan hurriedly stopped them: "There are few people and they are flexible. Our goal is to find the Wu Kingdom, not to kill. We don't need so many people."
Minglan disagreed, "Ten people are too few. We can feel more at ease if we go out with more people. Besides, the time of the trip is uncertain, so it will be safer to bring more people with us. If we can really find the Wu Kingdom, more people will have more momentum." , so as not to be underestimated.”
Bai Yun thought so too, and the two of them persuaded and persuaded, increasing the number to fifteen.
These fifteen people must be looking for the strongest in all aspects. Not only must they be able to fight, but they must also be alert, flexible and adaptable.
Only by protecting yourself first can you better protect Lin Yan and avoid making unnecessary sacrifices.
Minglan and Baiyun gave Lin Yan the right to choose people, letting her choose her companions herself, no matter who she liked.
Lin Yan's first choice was Lan Yue. Not only was she powerful, but she also had indescribable good luck. She was the best candidate.
As for the remaining people, Lin Yan weighed it for a long time before deciding. Six women and eight men were selected, including Huang Ning and Lu Yu.
They were all people who had been in contact with each other personally, and each had their own strengths. Lin Yan was very relieved.
The people are all selected from the military department. In addition to having good confidence and being strong, they all have their own strengths.
An hour later, everyone in Sun City was found. Heitu and Fenghua were also present. For those who were absent like Lu Yu, Baiyun had already sent someone to invite them. They must be recalled as soon as possible.
When Huahong was serving the food, she heard someone mention that Lin Yan was back. Seeing that it was getting late, she closed the door early and took the food back home. She thought that her daughter would not be able to eat well when she went out, and she would definitely have a good meal when she came back.
But when she returned home and waited again, Lin Yan was nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't help but wonder if her daughter was really back.
