Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1244: Wandering

Li Shengxuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Have you ever heard of the story of turning stone into gold?"

"What..." Fang Zilan reacted as soon as the words came out of her mouth, "What you said is that the old man taught people the art of turning stones into gold, but warned them not to think of monkeys when performing the magic..."

She did not continue, and the smile on Li Shengxuan's face grew brighter, and he continued: "People who learn the art of turning stone into gold have never succeeded in their lives, just because they will think of monkeys when they perform the art. Sometimes, a deliberate reminder can It’s the best hook. It doesn’t require much bait, and the fish will take the bait on its own.”

Fang Zilan was thoughtful and hummed, "You are quite confident."

"I'm not confident, but I have confidence in you." Li Shengxuan watched Fang Zilan slowly lift the hem of her skirt, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, "After all, this is what you set up."

"Didn't you say you want to help me apply medicine?" Fang Zilan calmly showed his leg injury in front of Li Shengxuan. Seeing him take a deep breath, he asked warmly: "Does it hurt?"

"I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't feel anything. Later that night when I went to Xu Mansion, I was holding my breath and couldn't care less about the pain." Fang Zilan smiled at herself, "Until the dust settled, the pain was so heart-piercing that I felt it all night long. Hard to sleep."

Li Shengxuan's hand held the medicine bottle a little tighter, and Fang Zilan chuckled, "What are you doing with this expression? It's not like I haven't been injured more seriously than this..."

Before she finished speaking, she took a breath and said, "It hurts. Why didn't you do it lightly or harshly..."

"I..." Li Shengxuan didn't take medicine, nor did he take it. He looked at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I made a mistake..." Before Fang Zilan could apologize, she was interrupted by Li Shengxuan, "It doesn't matter, what did you want to say just now?"

"Li Shengxuan." Fang Zilan shouted out the name suddenly, surprising even herself.

When Li Shengxuan was applying the medicine, he glanced at Fang Zilan seemingly casually. She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, with no expression on her face.

"Okay, I'll do it myself." Fang Zilan reached for the medicine bottle, but Li Shengxuan refused to let go, "I just need to be gentler, I'd better do it..."

At the end, Li Shengxuan helped Fang Zilan finish applying the medicine, and then heard her say quietly: "When others don't know, no matter how serious the injury is, it doesn't hurt. But if others know, it's a different matter."

"I would like to hear the details." Li Shengxuan put the medicine bottle aside and straightened Fang Zilan's skirt.

Does Fang Zilan call him by his first name, does it mean that in her heart, he is not just the emperor of Beijing? But...

Li Shengxuan was also startled. Fortunately, there was no one around and it would not cause unnecessary trouble. However, when this idea came to him, he noticed a trace of happiness in his heart.

"Nothing." Fang Zilan shook her head and allowed Li Shengxuan to move. She neither cried out in pain nor tried to take the medicine bottle. She just crossed her arms and sat obediently.

"If someone who is hostile knows about it, he can only hold back and pretend that nothing is wrong. If someone close to him knows about it..." Fang Zilan said, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "It just hurts uncontrollably."

"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 is not slow, he will arrive in the evening anyway, so there is no need to ask the boss to wait here. "

"After all, I am a civil servant, so my pace 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... …" There were several soldiers behind them, 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 closure 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 Places like Linjiacun 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?"
