Chapter 247 Deadline
"You..." Awan stared at Fang Zilan in a daze, and only heard her say, "I just want those who are fighting openly and secretly to know what is going on now, so that they can know each other's minds. It is impossible to lift the blockade in a short time, and what I have to do is to follow the trend, make an appointment with them, and get time as much as possible."
"But we have not yet gone to Linjia Village, which is the most serious place of the plague." A worry flashed across Awan's face, "If it were Linjia Village..."
"If there is really that kind of thing..." Fang Zilan's expression had a little more determination, "What should be burned must be burned."
Awan bit her lip and finally made up her mind to say, "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare first. When you have met Lord Su and Deputy General Cao, we will go to Linjia Village."
Fang Zilan nodded, "After you go back, don't disclose our whereabouts to anyone."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on in my heart." After Awan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Fang Zilan waited by the fence for two days. During this period, Awan came to deliver her a meal from time to time and talked about the situation in the town. Awan told her that Wang Shen told the public that she was looking for medicine and helped cover up her whereabouts.
"Looking for medicine?" Fang Zilan curled her lips and smiled, "He would find a reason."
"So, why do you have to wait here? Although it's almost summer, it's still very cold at night." Awan said as she put her cloak on her, "Be careful of catching a cold and getting sick."
"Aren't I afraid that Su Yun and Lao Cao will be anxious if they can't find me?" Fang Zilan wrapped her cloak tightly. "Su Yun is okay, but if Lao Cao can't see me, he will probably rush in. In this situation, Lao Cao can't get out if he comes in, so why bother him to take the risk in vain?"
Awan sighed and said, "You always make sense, but I can't tell you. However, you must take the medicine on time."
Fang Zilan stretched out her palm and spread it in front of her, "Has the new medicine been made?"
"It's not a new medicine." Awan took out a pill and put it in her palm. "I'm so busy every day that I can't help you make new medicines? What's more, the new medicines are scarce, so it's hard to find here. Let's talk about it when I return to Beijing."
"Thank you for your hard work in Xiao Awan." Fang Zilan took the medicine and pinched her face, "It's getting late, you go back and rest."
"You can stay up tonight for one night at most, otherwise..." Awan was interrupted by her before she finished speaking. "I know it. This was not a good rest a few days ago, otherwise how could I dare to endure it like this? After tonight, it is the deadline. If I can't see anyone, I should go out."
As soon as she said this, Awan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I will accompany you tonight."
Fang Zilan waved her hand and said, "No need." Before she finished speaking, she was covered by a loud "Boss".
She and Awan looked at people at the same time. They saw Deputy General Cao running over with a lantern, but she called him to stop before the fence, "Old Cao, don't come here!"
Deputy General Cao stopped obediently, and behind him was Su Yun's panting voice, "Deputy General Cao, wait for me..."
Seeing this, Awan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Are you here with Lord Su?"
"I didn't use my horse and I was exhausted after running for less than two days." Deputy General Cao touched the back of his head helplessly, "In addition, the road was closed, and there was no one on the way. I could only hike with Lord Su. If Lord Su hadn't been slow and the evening would have arrived no matter what, I wouldn't have to ask the boss to wait here."
"After all, I am a civil servant, so naturally... I can't catch up with you... marching and fighting..." Su Yun stood beside Deputy General Cao in anger, "But finally... I caught up with..."
Behind them were a few soldiers, standing neatly not far from them.
Su Yun held his hands loosely and was about to salute, he heard Fang Zilan say, "Mr. Su, don't be too polite, please breathe a sigh of relief before speaking."
She said quietly and took a step back. Deputy General Cao was stunned and said, "Boss, you are..."
"Don't worry, I'm not infected with the plague. But after all, I'm with the sick people day and night. It's better to stay away for your safety." Fang Zilan comforted her warmly, and then said seriously: "I have something to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Cao looked stern. Su Yun, who was originally patting his chest and calmly, also put down his hand and stood up straight, "Please speak with Master Fang."
"The plague can be cured, and now many people who are infected have been cured." As soon as Fang Zilan said, Deputy General Cao said happily: "This is good news!"
"Yes, not." Su Yun looked at Fang Zilan and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't Lord Fang come out?"
His words were like a basin of cold water, which extinguished Deputy General Cao's joy. He stumbled: "Boss..."
Fang Zilan did not respond to their words, but said in a stern voice: "The source of the plague is in Linjia Village, which is the most severe place of the plague. The Yan'er girl from the Xiahou family should be there, and I will go there to confirm the situation later. If the plague is controlled by then, the road closure can be lifted."
Su Yun looked hesitant, Fang Zilan glanced at him and continued, "Mr. Su, I won't make you embarrassed. I'm asking you to make an appointment with the people outside for me."
"People outside?" Su Yun repeated these four words and quickly understood that she was pointing to something.
"I won't let you wait endlessly." Fang Zilan's expression was very light, but her tone showed unspoken power. "When half a month later, if the plague is still uncontrollable, do whatever you want."
"Boss!" Deputy General Cao suddenly changed his expression, "Once it sets fire..."
"I know." Fang Zilan interrupted him slightly and seriously, "Since I dare to say that, it was naturally thoughtful. Now the plague in the town has been basically controlled, and the blockade can be lifted within ten days."
"What does it mean?" Su Yun frowned slightly, and Fang Zilan explained: "It is OK to close the road, but we must proceed step by step to narrow the scope of the road. For villages and towns that have controlled the plague and slowly returned to normal, the blockade can naturally be lifted. But like Linjia Village, where the plague is severe, it is still necessary to close it."
Su Yun explained clearly: "In this way, when the people within the blockade see that there is a place to lift the blockade, they will inevitably be inspired and have hope. And the people outside the blockade will be free to travel, and the situation will be completely renewed.
"Not bad." Fang Zilan nodded in praise and said, "But even if the blockade is lifted, we must order the people to stay at home and observe for a while. It is not too late to go and communicate freely after confirming that there is no hindrance."
"Okay." Su Yun agreed without hesitation: "I will make this matter a decision for Lord Fang to make a half-month period."
Deputy General Cao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but rub his hands, "Boss, what about me?"
Can the half-month period be successfully achieved? Let's listen to the next breakdown~
