Don't ask where people go

Chapter 68 Departure
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, which eased the tense atmosphere in the tent, but added a sense of solemnity.

Everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner. For a while, only Fang Zilan, Lieutenant General Li, and Awan were left in the main account.

"I asked you to check Sanyuan Village, how did you check it?" Fang Zilan suppressed the hostility in her eyes, still indifferent as usual.

Lieutenant General Li didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly told him everything he found out, "Sanyuan Village was built after you returned to the court in victory, the boss. At that time, a group of parading merchants and barbarians who were suppressed by the Jin people went to the desert. People, when they heard that the Jinren were destroyed and burned in the Gilded City, they came all the way from the desert to seek the protection of Dajing."

Lieutenant General Li paused for a while, and continued: "Master Zhong is kind, so he and General Huangfu asked for an order to take in this group of people, but the people in the northern border have been poisoned by the barbarians for so many years, so they cannot let this group of people stay in Yanzhou Therefore, Qi Canjun proposed to build a village for this group of people outside Yanzhou City, which is Sanyuan Village."

Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "That is to say, it was Qi Yuming's idea to build Sanyuan Village?"

Lieutenant General Li nodded, "Yes, I also heard that Qi Canjun volunteered to lead people to build Sanyuan Village. Even the name of Sanyuan Village was given by Qi Canjun."

"He really cares." Fang Zilan answered nonchalantly, and Lieutenant General Li also echoed, "It is true, and I have seen Qi Canjun's actions in the army these days, and I don't think he is a bad person."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan chuckled suddenly, "Old Li, do you think I'm good or bad?"

"Boss, of course you are a good person." Lieutenant General Li answered quickly, Fang Zilan still just smiled, "There is no such thing as good or bad, not to mention that there is no absolute good or bad in this world, there are many people who can't struggle between good and bad people. Forget it, you go to work first."

Lieutenant General Li was in a daze when he heard this, and turned around and left without making any further arguments.

And Awan's eyes were full of worry, Fang Zilan didn't need to guess what she was worried about, but she couldn't help but fear that it would only make her worry.

"I'll go to Sanyuan Village with you." There was a hint of determination in A Wan's tone, Fang Zilan could not have heard it, but she still pretended to be relaxed, "No, you stay in the camp."

"Fang Zilan!" A Wan frowned, "When is it, do you know that your body won't last long?"

"I know, so you can't go." Fang Zilan sighed, her eyes drooping, "Awan, you are a medical girl, and I can only save mine if you save your life. I know this better than anyone else. So I can't put you in danger."

"But I can't bring the dead back to life, do you know..." A Wan's voice was extremely eager, and Fang Zilan was even more stern and cold towards her, "I know. But A Wan, you also know very well that I have no way out. Fang Zilan wants to keep the northern region peaceful for a day in the northern region, this is not a joke."

A Wan didn't speak, but bit her lower lip firmly, worry and resentment intertwined into indescribable complex emotions in her eyes.

After a long time, Fang Zilan heard her voice, "Then you must come back safely, I will wait for you in the barracks." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and raised her little finger.

The corners of Fang Zilan's lips hooked slightly, but it was indescribably heavy. She stretched out her hand without hesitation, and her little finger hooked A Wan's fingertips.

Just like when she was in the gate of hell, before every mission, it was like this.

Deputy General Cao's loud voice quickly rang out from outside the tent, "Boss, everything is ready."

Fang Zilan took a deep look at A Wan, smiled and turned to leave the tent.

A Wan could only hear the chaotic sound of horseshoes outside the tent, and Fang Zilan's sound of departure, which made the strings in her heart tense again.

Although it was just a trip to the small Sanyuan Village, when she remembered that Fang Zilan had been poisoned by bone erosion in Sanyuan Village last time, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Along the way, Deputy General Qin and Fang Zilan talked about the situation in Sanyuan Village, which was similar to what Lieutenant General Li said. Fang Zilan just listened and didn't say a word.

"There are 190 and eight households in Sanyuan Village, most of them are Rong, Di and Baiyu people, and a few are people from other tribes." Vice General Qin explained in such detail that Fang Zilan couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Sanyuan Village understands it very well."

"I'm ashamed to say that the last general doesn't know much about it." Vice-General Qin looked at Fang Zilan with some embarrassment, "These are what Qi Canjun and the last general said. Sometimes Qi Canjun returns to Yanzhou City for business, so he doesn't care about it." I will be asked to visit Sanyuan Village sometime."

Fang Zilan asked curiously, "Qi Yuming, do you have a good relationship with the people in Sanyuan Village?"

Vice General Qin nodded and said yes, "It's not just a good relationship. Everyone in Sanyuan Village, regardless of adults or children, knows Qi Canjun. He will invite Qi Canjun to visit every year, festival or someone's happy event. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sanyuan Village was first built. At that time, people from the village even came to the barracks to ask to see Qi Canjun and gave him mooncakes."

"Really?" Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, but there was a hint of doubt. Even she was a little dazed, doubting whether it was Qi Yuming or her own judgment.

"Boss, Sanyuan Village is coming soon!" Deputy General Cao's words brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She nodded to show that she understood, and then asked, "Where is the person who was just sent out to scout?"

"Haven't come back yet." Vice-General Cao looked solemn, and Vice-General Qin frowned, "It shouldn't be."

Just when the three of them felt strange, Deputy General Cao sharply spotted a soldier running towards them not far away, and hurriedly shouted: "Boss, look!"

Some of the soldiers behind Fang Zilan quickly recognized that this was one of the two pathfinders who had just been sent. His horse had been thrown somewhere, and he was limping as if he was seriously injured.

However, when he ran to the front, everyone realized that he was covered in blood, and he had only one breath left.

Deputy General Qin got off his horse and went forward to support the Pathfinder, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Wolf..." Exploring Lu was as popular as a thread, "Sanyuan Village... the entrance of the village... are all..." He died before he could finish speaking.

Deputy General Qin's expression froze, and he raised his head to look at Fang Zilan on the horse, only to see that her expression was as cold as ice, and her eyes were as stern as Yan Luo in a ghost prison. !"

"Yes!" The shouts of the soldiers resounded through the sky, but at this moment, the people in Sanyuan Village were unaware of what happened outside.

Qi Yuming looked at the woman in front of him coldly, his expression as calm as water.

And the one tied to the beams and pillars next to the two of them was none other than Shangguan Min. His body was covered in blood, but none of it belonged to him.

　happy New Year!
