Someone who shows kindness to others without any reason is either a traitor or a thief. Although Yang Jian did not catch the Bai family doing anything illegal, he did not have a good impression of them.
"Haha, Brother Yang, you're worrying too much. The Bai family's assets and family are all in Shuozhou. They wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
"The imperial court has already issued a decree that merchants who have made contributions to the country can be awarded honors as a reward."
"I think the Bai family would not be able to refuse such a good opportunity to bring honor to their family."
Sun Jizong seemed to know that Yang Jian would use this as an excuse to oppose him, and he had already prepared a response.
"Sir!" Yang Jian was choked by Sun Jizon.
"Um!"
Fan Nan was immediately tempted. "Merchants are driven by profit, and their loyalty is unpredictable. I'll give it some thought and see who would be the most appropriate person to send."
Pei Lun and Sun Jizong looked at each other and smiled secretly, finally getting back on track.
Afterwards, Fan Nan gave some further instructions and everyone dispersed.
Then, the soldiers began to move, each rushing to their designated locations.
Yang Jian was the last one to leave. Seeing that no one had left, he took a few steps forward and came to Fan Nan's side:
"Teacher, there are so many people and it's noisy. Why tell everyone about such a confidential matter as contacting Wuhuan? Also, your suggestion that Zhao Muyun go on this trip, isn't it too early to elevate him and make him a target of public criticism?"
Fan Nan turned around and glanced at Yang Jian, then said slowly:
"Zihua, you only know one side of the story. I only learned a little about the Wuhuan incident from historical records. I only spoke nonsense and deliberately leaked the information to the Tartars."
"I deliberately promoted a squad leader to encourage the others to compete for credit and annihilate the Tartars in the Purple Water Valley, leaving them no chance of escape."
"It is you who must guard the Jingbian Army and not let it fail."
What!
Fan Nan’s words shocked Yang Jian.
"Teacher, is there anyone among us secretly communicating with Beidi?"
"Well, we can't rule out this possibility!"
"What about Zhao Muyun going to Beidi to contact Wuhuan?"
“True and false, false and true!”
Fan Nan smiled mysteriously, "Last time in Black Camel Mountain, he left a deep impression on me! Compared to charging into battle on the front lines, I always felt that he was more suited to lurking behind enemy lines!"
"Maybe there will be some big commotion behind Beidi's back!"
"Doesn't he want to be a general? I'll help him speed up! It all depends on his luck!"
