General Ye asked doubtfully: "Did you cut off these ears and tails?"
"Report, General, we didn't cut it. It was already like this when we met it, and there was a stone spear with most of its parts broken on its back at that time. I think it might have been a soldier from Yunbian City who went there before. Left behind when hunting it.”
General Ye nodded: "Let the injured brothers take care of it and have a good rest. Then skin the beast and let everyone taste the game tomorrow." After that, he reincarnated and returned to the tent.
"Yes, General."
In the tent, General Ye was thinking, stone spear? If those ears and tails were caused by Yunbian City soldiers, I would still believe it, but what about the stone spear? Although Yunbian City is a small border town, it does not still use stone tools. Is it caused by the alien race to disturb the people's hearts? Isn't that too obvious, and you want to achieve the effect with just one tiger? Although it has caused some trouble to the residents, it has not hindered their lives.
General Ye suddenly thought of something and frowned. If that were the case, he would be in trouble.
"Come here, let Fan Shihao come over." Although Ye Wujiang looked down on Fan Shihao, he still had to be present for some things.
"Yes, let's inform Mr. Fan now."
"Oh? General Ye is really rare. Do you have anything else to discuss with me?" Fan Shihao walked into the tent with a smile and found a place to sit down casually. He knew that Ye Wujiang looked down on him and said It seemed that he was here to inspect this time, but Ye Wujiang didn't tell him anything about the former army, no matter how big or small, and he deliberately said this to ridicule.
Ye Wujiang ignored these words and said: "I'm afraid the alien rebellion on the border is not as simple as we thought, but we are not sure yet. I want to report it to the emperor, and I need your seal on the letter."
Every article sent to the emperor needs to have two seals on it, one is the identity seal and the other is the one in Fan Shihao's hand this time. This seal is different from the ordinary identity seal. It is after each mission is accepted. , were sent from the emperor to the accompanying confidants before departure, and the engravings were very different each time. One was to prevent the forgery of documents, and the other was to prevent rebellion.
This was also the reason why Ye Wujiang was unhappy with Fan Shihao. He had led troops to fight for many years, but he actually suspected that he would rebel. This anger could not be directed at the Holy One, so it was all transferred to Fan Shihao.
This system was only implemented recently and had never been so cumbersome before.
"It's okay if General Ye tells me the current situation." Fan Shihao said. He didn't want to be a blind man and be kept in the dark. Although he was also observing, the information he obtained was limited.
It was about the country, and personal grudges no longer mattered. At this point, Ye Wujiang could only reveal his suspicions and reasons.
The most important source comes from the message written on the piece of silk cloth by spy Yang Mou:
I searched in many directions, but did not find the enemy's main force.
Only troops suspected of being the enemy's vanguard were found camping in the nameless forest. It was visually estimated that there were only more than 200 people in this unit. Their equipment was not well-equipped. They even had stone swords and guns. Their armor was mostly rattan armor. Their main purpose may be Or to collect our information, I would mind sending a few hundred guerrilla troops to destroy them first to prevent unnecessary leakage of secrets.
Fan Shihao nodded after hearing General Ye's conjecture: "If this is true, it does need to be reported to the superiors as soon as possible, but there is no substantial evidence yet, so you can write the document first, and I will ask the Lord of Yunbian City tomorrow. It’s not too late to come back and talk.”
"Well, that's okay." General Ye agreed.
The next day, early morning.
"Xie Le." Liu Yucheng came to the medicine shop early.
"What are you doing?" Xie Le was busy taking care of the medicines for opening the store without looking back.
"Well, are you going to my house for dinner tonight?" Liu Yucheng lay on the counter, supporting his head with both hands and looking at Xie Le's back.
"Uncle Liu asked me to go to dinner? Is there something wrong?" Xie Le said in shock for a while.
"Probably so." Liu Yucheng blinked twice and said nonsense.
"Okay, I will go." Xie Le agreed.
"✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡Hehe, I'll go back and tell my dad first. I'll be back soon to help." He ran out.
Xie Le looked back at Liu Yucheng who ran out, continued to do the work in hand, and said with a smile: "Is this girl in such a good mood today?"
Inside the city lord's palace.
"I don't know that you are here, so please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Seeing Fan Shihao suddenly coming, the city lord saluted respectfully.
"It's okay, I came today because I have something to ask the city lord." Fan Shihao helped the city lord up.
"Please come and serve tea. Sir, please take a seat. I will tell you everything I know."
"You too, please." Fan Shihao sat down and looked around, then nodded plainly and said.
"What do you want to ask, sir?"
"Show me the history of your city lord's palace."
"No problem, I'll get it right away. Please wait a moment, sir." The city lord stood up and walked towards a small room.
Fan Shihao picked up the tea bowl with both hands, leaned back on the chair, opened the bowl lid with one hand, looked at the color of the tea, smelled the tea aroma, gently scraped the bowl lid on the water surface, turned the tea over, and took a sip. Seeing the city lord come out of the room, he sat up straight again and placed the tea bowl on the tea table.
The city lord walked to Fan Shihao and handed over a thick volume with both hands: "Sir, this is the history of the mansion. It contains nearly one hundred and fifty years of records."
Fan Shihao took the volume and began to read it quickly. After flipping through about three-fifths of the thickness, he stopped on a certain page and read it carefully.
A few minutes later, Fan Shihao closed the scroll and looked at the City Lord, "City Lord, I still have a few questions to ask."
"My lord, please tell me."
"Are most of the injured residents of Yunbian City recently injured by wild beasts?"
"Yes sir."
"When did you discover that there were aliens wandering around the border?"
"I didn't discover it, it was discovered by the residents of Yunbian City." The city lord thought for a while and continued: "It was about a week ago."
"Well, is there anyone in the city who can speak Nomad?"
"Nomad language? We haven't had much contact with those nomads for a long time. Not many people can speak it, but I know there seem to be a few people who can."
"Say it."
"Hmm~ Pang Wu who makes a living fishing in the suburbs, He Lekang who works at Liu's store, and Xie Le who works at the drug store in the east of the city..."
"Xie Le?" Fan Shihao heard the name again.
"Do you know the adults?"
"Well, I've seen him a few times." Fan Shihao smiled, "It's just him. Where is he? Take me to see him."
"No problem, come here, sir."
Chengdong Pharmacy. Xie Le and Liu Yucheng were sitting there chatting. When someone came in, Xie Le stood up and asked, "Are you two taking medicine or seeing a doctor?"
"It's Uncle Shu, are you here to pick up medicine?" Liu Yucheng asked with a smile when he saw the city lord. Then he said: "If you are here to pick up medicine, I tell you, you should go to my father's to pick it up. Xie Le Kung Fu is not home yet, hehe."
Xie Le glared at Liu Yucheng and bowed to the city lord: "City lord, don't listen to this girl's nonsense." After saying that, he immediately turned to another person who was traveling with him. When he saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank and he said in shock: " I’ve met the adults.”
"Do you know him?" Liu Yucheng asked Xie Le curiously.
"This is an adult from the army in front of the formation. I'm lucky enough to have met him several times." Xie Le replied.
"Oh, I've met you, sir." Liu Yucheng also saluted Fan Shihao.
"Hahahaha, it's okay, you don't have to be so restrained." Fan Shihao saw the two of them and said with a smile, "Actually, I came here today to ask Xie Le for help."
"Ask me for help?" Xie Le was a little confused, "I wonder how I can help you?"
"I heard that you can speak Nomad, so I wanted to ask you to go to the Jinqian Army to help translate."
"Is it today?" Xie Le asked.
"Yes, you will leave immediately after you agree." Fan Shihao said with a smile.
"I already have an appointment today, sorry..."
Liu Yucheng looked at Xie Le and interrupted, "Xie Le is fine. You can go and do your work. I can stay here another day. I'll just tell my father."
"Hahaha, that's what this little girl said, let's go." Fan Shihao turned and walked out the door.
"Then I'll have to work hard for you in the store today. I'll come to visit you at home another day." After Xie Le told Liu Yucheng, he followed Fan Shihao and left.
After both of them left, City Lord Shu smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll go back first, Yu Cheng."
"Well, Uncle Shu, let's go slowly." Liu Yucheng saw off City Lord Shu and returned to the medicine shop. She clenched her fists and encouraged herself, um, I can do it alone, a good wife will not delay her husband's work, um, that's right, that's it.
But there was still some loneliness visible on her face.
Ah, what was I thinking about just now? Who wants to be a wife like that rotten wood? No, I don't care. I just want to run the pharmacy well by myself, even better than when Xie Le was there. Yes, that’s right, keep working hard.
"Can you ride a horse?" Fan Shihao asked.
"I haven't ridden one before." Xie Lezai glanced at the man in black robe and said.
Strangely enough, the man in the black robe was not tall and tall, just about the same as Xie Le, but he still gave Xie Le a very tall and majestic feeling.
"Then let's walk there. It's not far anyway." Fan Shihao nodded, "My name is Fan Shihao. You can call me whatever you want. Call me Uncle Fan or Uncle Fan. It's fine. I'm not too particular."
"Master Fan, basic etiquette is still required."
I was almost killed just because I glanced at you a few days ago. I don't dare, Xie Le thought to himself.
"Haha, it's up to you." Fan Shihao disagreed, "How did you learn the nomadic language?"
"I used to follow Uncle Qi to collect medicines. I would often meet people from nomadic tribes and trade some medicines with them. Naturally, I became good at it," Xie Le replied.
"The grave you buried next to Junzi Lake belongs to your seventh uncle?"
Xie Le's heartbeat suddenly picked up. How did he know he was at Junzi Lake? I don’t know if what I said was heard.
