When Fang Zheng and Fei walked out of the gate, they happened to see the three men being driven out by the soldiers.

"Wait, wait, what are you doing? You're treating us like dogs!"

The brown-haired girl with twin ponytails was obviously very dissatisfied with this and started shouting loudly. Then General Morgan came out and stared at them coldly.

"Humph, because that's what you deserve. Not to mention that you deliberately concealed your identity, you even dared to blatantly defraud military intelligence... You dare to do such a shameless thing, it seems that the credibility of a guerrilla is just like this!"

"Oh? Guerrilla."

Looking at the three people not far away, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. General Morgan looked quite angry. In addition, he said that he had deceived military intelligence... Could it be that the Guerrilla Association was also involved in this matter? Well, it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, there are civilians on the regular ship, and the guerrillas are an organization that acts for civilians. The transportation of the core components on the ship is absolutely confidential. They definitely don't know about this, but...

It's really troublesome.

Fang Zheng frowned slightly and looked at the three people not far away. The Guerrilla Association was responsible for handling civilian issues, which he thought was the most lacking link in the politics of this continent. Originally, the government should have relied on the police and the people to form a whole, but because of the emergence of the guerrillas, the problems of the civilians were basically solved by the guerrillas. To put it bluntly, the public's favorability was given to the guerrillas, and the dissatisfaction was completely thrown to the ruling authorities.

Come to think of it, it seems that I had heard before that the Empire was tightening the existence of the Guerrilla Association. Well, it seems that in Crossbell... I also need to prepare well.

You can't work hard for a long time only to have others take all the fruits of your labor.

While Fang Zheng was thinking, there was a fierce quarrel over there.

"What do you mean by deception? To be honest, this is all your fault! Who told you not to report the news to the Guerrilla Association?"

Of course it’s because there are military secrets on it. How could an organization like the Guerrilla Association know such things?

"Nonsense! How can an organization that is at best a civilian group be held responsible for such an incident?!"

It was obvious that General Morgan and Fang Zheng had the same opinion.

"Really? What is Mabel thinking? Hiring a little girl like this will only bring trouble to the search operation..."

At this moment, General Morgan also complained with a gloomy face. The Mabel he mentioned should be the mayor of Perth. Speaking of which, due to the military blockade, commercial transportation in the Perth area has completely stopped. As the mayor, she certainly can't just sit there and watch... Well, so she found these guerrillas to solve the problem.

That makes sense.

At this moment, the woman with long snow-white hair and dressed like a dancer behind the two men stared at General Morgan and spoke.

“…Please stop it!!”

As she spoke, the dancer walked up to Morgan and stared at him.

"General, have you ever thought about why we came all the way here from Lorente? It's because of you soldiers! You are totally useless at the critical moment!!"

Wow...this woman is really brave.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but shook his head, while General Morgan's face turned livid, glaring at the dancer in front of him.

"Whahahaha what!!!"

At this moment, the woman also began to complain incessantly.

"Without a thorough investigation, you pushed all the responsibility onto the Guerrilla Association... After such a big incident, you still acted arrogantly and distanced yourself from us. Moreover, let alone the hostages, you haven't even found out the whereabouts of the scheduled ship. Don't you feel ashamed?!"

The guerrillas seem very arrogant.

Seeing the woman's attitude towards General Morgan, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. Indeed, the guerrillas are an organization that exists to protect civilians, but they seem to want to control everything with this banner? Just because civilians on the regular ship are threatened, they dare to snoop on military intelligence? And judging from General Morgan's appearance, it seems that there is nothing he can do to them?

The existence of such organizations may be detrimental to the stability and unity of the country.

Well... he couldn't do anything about Liberl, but in Crossbell, Fang Zheng would never allow such a thing to happen.

Perhaps we can learn from the Empire’s approach?

"Shut up, little girl!!"

General Morgan was completely furious at this moment.

"How can an organized and disciplined army act recklessly like you do? The result of acting without thinking clearly will only alert the enemy and let them escape. If you don't understand, don't act on impulse and talk nonsense!"

The woman dressed as a dancer showed no sign of backing down and continued staring at General Morgan.

“That sounds really nice…!”

Oh oh oh, fight, fight!

Fang Zheng, a bystander, was quite excited when he saw the sparks colliding between the two sides. He wanted to see how rampant this woman was and whether she dared to attack General Morgan. Then, would she be thrown into jail? Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, right? It was never too much to watch the fun.

However, at this moment, suddenly, the sound of a piano was heard, interrupting the quarrel between the two sides. Everyone turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Not far away, there stood a blond young man in white clothes, holding a piano in his hands, looking at this side.

"Oh, how sad it is. Arguing will not produce any results... it will only make this dry land even more desolate. I would like to dedicate a song to all of you present. A song that can moisten the wilderness in your heart and let the beautiful flowers of hope bloom. A gentle and sad song..."

As he spoke, the blond young man plucked the strings of the piano and began to sing.

"The trail of stars across the sky... is like a signpost, leading you..."

Wow, you're singing this?

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by this blond young man, Fang Zheng was immediately dissatisfied. Are you kidding me? I am the most handsome guy here, okay? You little bastard, you want to attract attention by being outstanding?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"Fei, stand back."

"?"

"Let me show him what professionalism is."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached into his bosom and took out a golden... suona.

Then he put it to his mouth and pointed it towards the sky.

“Drip… drip drip… drip drip! Drop drip drip! Drop drip drip drip!!”

Come on, everyone, let's go, Zhu Bajie, carry his wife on his back! !

"...first kiss, last kiss...your..."

Amid the joyful suona music, the blond young man finally couldn't sing anymore and stopped reluctantly. Seeing the other party admit defeat, Fang Zheng also put down the suona at hand and smiled at the blond young man.

“…”

Seeing this scene, the two groups of people who were arguing just now were completely speechless.

"Cough, cough, cough."

General Morgan looked at Fang Zheng with a complicated expression, then coughed and turned to look at the soldier next to him.

"The reports from the search teams in various places have almost all arrived."

"Yes! Waiting for the general's review!"

"Very good, then I will go back to work. Remember, don't let those people in again."

After saying this, General Morgan turned and walked towards the door.

"Also... remove the Iron Road monitoring station. I don't want to see them here anymore. They're such an eyesore."

After saying this, General Morgan walked into the fortress and then closed the door again.

"Haha, no matter which country, soldiers are all the same and don't understand romance."

At this moment, the blond young man also walked over with a smile and spoke, while Fang Zheng glanced at him.

"I think it's better than the pretentious bard at least."

However, at this moment, the girl with brown hair and twin ponytails looked at Fang Zheng in surprise, then stretched out her hand and pointed at him.

"Ah, it's Mr. Fang Zheng!!"

While shouting, the girl with twin ponytails ran up to Fang Zheng and smiled happily at him.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, right? It's been a long time. I'm Estelle!"

"Estelle?"

Hearing the words of the brown-haired girl with twin ponytails in front of him, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he found the figure of the girl he had met once in Luoliante from the corner of his mind.

"That Estelle? You've grown so big now? I really didn't recognize you."

"Hehe, but Mr. Fang Zheng, you seem to have not changed at all, you are still the same as before."

"Estelle?"

At this moment, the other two also came over and looked at the scene in confusion.

"Do you know each other?"

"Well, this is the brother I told you about who taught me how to play games!"

"So it was he who led Estelle astray..."

After hearing Estell's answer, the silver-haired woman looked at Fang Zheng and muttered, while the black-haired boy next to her looked at Estell in surprise.

"But you haven't seen each other for several years. It's amazing that you still remember his name."

"Because his name is very strange, so I remembered it. After all, most people don't have such a strange name."

"...Don't say other people's names are weird in front of others..."

The black-haired boy sighed helplessly, and the silver-haired woman next to him nodded and then looked around.

"It's not a good idea to continue standing here. Let's find a place to talk."

In the tavern next to the Haken gate, everyone found a place to sit down and introduced themselves.

So Fang Zheng learned that the woman with silver hair and dressed like a dancer was called Sherazade Harvey, a student of Cassius and a guerrilla fighter. Fang Zheng naturally knew Estelle, and as for Joshua... he just gave her a meaningful look without making too many comments.

Fang Zheng also introduced himself to everyone, and also introduced Fei beside him. As for the blond youth, he also came over shamelessly and introduced himself as Olivier Langheim, a wandering poet and performer. He came to Liberl from the Erebonian Empire, saying that he was going to do a tour.

Of course, Fang Zheng only thought that he was a second-rate bard.

After that, everyone said they wanted to go to Perth, and the blond young man insisted on going with them. Sherazade had no choice but to agree, and Fang Zheng...

"In that case, would you like to take our car?"

"car?"

"yes."

Looking at Estelle, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"We just happen to be going to Perth as well. In that case, why don't we all go together? I'll drive you there, which is much faster than walking, right?"

"Is there a car?!"

Hearing this, Estel's eyes lit up, and the boy named Joshua looked at Sherazade, who hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"You're welcome. It's my pleasure."
