The general roared in the official hall, and the table was smashed. Lei Zhonglian's expression remained unchanged, he took another look at the name on the map and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" the general shouted.
"I'm going to call someone." Lei Zhonglian said without turning his head.
Who can you call? Isn't it just those people from De Sheng Chang, can they fight or kill? The general curled his lips, then saw Eighteenth Jin also walking out.
"I'm going to call people too." he said.
Aren't you all together? The general frowned, watching the two of them leave.
Call people, what's so great about that, I'll call people too.
The general kicked the table on the ground with his foot.
"Gather the Army of Yongning." he shouted.
This mobilization of the army is a big move, the entire western route of Hebei is tense enough that any small movement can make people nervous, will it alarm the Governor of the western route of Hebei or even the Duke of Chengguo just to suppress a group of bandits? The deputy general couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
"Sir, Zhangqing Mountain is not big, not even half the size of Zanhuang Mountain, how many bandits could there be?" he whispered, "We were able to take down Zanhuang Mountain, Zhangqing Mountain is nothing, gathering so many brothers her...
Ez makes us look incompetent, it's embarrassing."
General Peng spat.
"You know nothing," he said, "What face are you still worrying about, this is a big issue. Miss Jun came to the western route of Hebei for vaccination, and she got kidnapped right under our noses. If this gets out, the whole western route of Hebei's face will be gone."
The deputy general nodded, indeed that was the reasoning.
"Now we have to make a big fuss, show how much importance we attach in the western route of Hebei, only then when Miss Jun is rescued, it might save some face for us, otherwise be ready to be scolded."
The deputy general nodded again, sighing.
"We really can't afford to be scolded anymore, Inspectors Jinyiwei from the capital have all come." he said.
General Peng glanced at him.
"Then hurry up and go call people!" he shouted.
The deputy general, energized, stood up straight and shouted a yes before running out.
....................
"Please have a seat."
Xia Yong's wife wiped the bamboo stool with her sleeve and smiled at Miss Jun who was standing.
Miss Jun smiled and nodded, sitting down as instructed, looking around the house curiously.
This can hardly be called a house, just simple three-room mud brick buildings with a fenced yard, looking around, most of the houses here were like that.
"We are quite poor here." Xia Yong's wife laughed, bringing over a bowl of tea with a mix of embarrassment and openness, "Please bear with us, Miss Jun."
Poverty, Miss Jun looked at the coarse bowl in front of her, making money is not easy, but for Master, earning money was the simplest task.
Why is his hometown so poor?
Miss Jun looked at the people standing in the yard, men, women, and children, all curious about her too.
Among these faces, she did not find the other two faces that appeared on the Military Formation Map, and the most important one.
Those few girls who were carefully drawn.
She doesn't know their names, of course it would be easy to ask, just show them the handwritten notes, but she has no idea about her master's past.
She didn't know why the master left this place and did not return for so many years, so she couldn't be sure whether the people here missed the master.
Also, she now understood why those two adults and a child could easily take her out of the camp.
The setups she arranged were taught by her master, if these people were his former acquaintances, they might be familiar with those setups too.
Recognizing the familiar Hidden Weapon setups, and the vaccinations that only her master mentioned.
This must be the reason they kidnapped her, to ask her...
Miss Jun abruptly stood up.
The onlookers were startled.
"Miss Jun..." Xia Yong's wife said, watching her expression.
Is it to beg her to release her? From calm to bursting into tears and calming down again, now was the time to reason and appeal emotionally, right?
"I need to quickly send a message to my people to let them know I'm alright, otherwise things will escalate." Miss Jun said solemnly.
Surprisingly mentioning this, the people present were stunned, but soon they understood.
See, transmitting the message is also a form of plea.
"Miss Jun," Xia Yong said, "we mean no harm to you, and we will definitely send you back after the vaccination."
Back?
No, she had barely arrived here; how could she possibly go back.
Miss Jun shook her head.
"There isn't enough time for vaccination," she said, "they will definitely come faster than you expect."
Not enough?
Xia Yong and the others glanced at each other.
"Government soldiers will take down Zanhuang Mountain faster than you expect," Miss Jun continued, "My people and those who want to capture me will realize something is wrong faster than you expect, and most importantly, you will be discovered faster than you anticipate."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yong understood once again.
She was making them understand reason, she was persuading them.
How could they forget, she was not the girl who would get frightened, cry or panic when faced with kidnapping.
The one who could think of doing vaccinations is no ordinary person and cannot be judged by common standards.
"Miss Jun, we don't have many children here; there's enough time," he said with a smile, "you don't need to worry."
"It's not enough. First, you still underestimated the impact of my disappearance. I would guess that by now the entire western Hebei region must know that I've been kidnapped, especially since I conducted the vaccination," Miss Jun said, slightly raising her head to look at them, seemingly quite proud, "This is vaccination, after all."
"It's just a vaccination," someone muttered.
Exactly, just a vaccination.
This was initially met with shock and skepticism by everyone; it was accepted by others who were drawn by her fame and by those who conducted verifications, though vaccination was still something very sensational, arousing curiosity and pursuit.
But looking at these people's reactions, it seemed like it was nothing extraordinary, but rather something that naturally existed.
Clearly, they knew about vaccinations, maybe not how to conduct them, but they had definitely heard of it, so it was nothing new to them.
Miss Jun pursed her lips.
"Also, most crucially, you are not without flaws," she said.
Flaws?
Xia Yong squinted his eyes, while the men standing behind him scratched their heads.
"Is there? Just stir the waters, and it'll be fine," a man muttered.
This was one of her kidnappers.
"Stirring the waters is correct, but while stirring, you also stepped into the water instead of standing on the bank," Miss Jun immediately countered, looking at the man, "Why did you think of Zanhuang Mountain? Did you have encounters with these bandits before? Perhaps even failed, so you thought of leveraging the government soldiers to achieve two goals at once?"
"We didn't fail; it was just inconvenient for us to truly clash with them," the man immediately shouted back, looking unconvinced.
As his words ended, Xia Yong, who was standing in the front, regained his senses and raised his hand to slap him.
"Quit your nonsense!" he shouted.
The man was slapped into confusion, looking bewildered.
Miss Jun glanced over the others, noticing many shared the same bewildered expression as the man.
"Exactly, we didn't fail," another person indignantly added.
Truly naive and endearing.
Miss Jun almost laughed but also felt a peculiar emotion.
These people seemed formidable, able to locate her amidst pursuit, think of leveraging this fact, effortlessly abduct her from protective custody, and notice any clues she tried to leave behind - no doubt that was exceedingly capable.
But their behavior and words revealed a nature that was as simple and naive as their appearance.
Such people existed, like those specially trained soldiers who only needed specific skills and didn't have to think about what to do, because someone else would tell them what to do, and they just needed to do it.
So did their teacher teach them all these skills? Is their teacher also the person who originally directed their actions?
