Chapter Nineteen: I actually received an invitation to join the camp!



After the treatment, Xu Nian felt a little tired and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This matter has finally come to an end.

Only when all the villagers are cured of their illnesses can they officially set off for their next destination; otherwise, they will be trapped here for the rest of their lives.

After recovering from her illness, Xu Nian had nothing to do for a while, so she decided to take a walk nearby. When she turned around, she happened to meet Gu Zhan's eyes.

Ah! She almost forgot that the general and his troops were still here.

Without hesitation, Xu Nian immediately asked, "Where are you going next?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan unfolded the map he carried with him, pondered for a moment, and said succinctly, "We're going the same way, let's go together."

He had his own selfish motives; he wanted the soldiers to eat better.

However, if Xu Nian refuses, he will not force her.

Xu Nian naturally did not refuse, or rather, she couldn't be happier.

The soldiers led by Gu Zhan were all highly skilled in combat, and their entourage consisted of bodyguards who could protect everyone.

Although dozens more mouths were suddenly added to feed, Xu Nian was not someone who lacked food, so she naturally didn't care about that.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go and tell the village chief so they won't be worried and think they've done something wrong."

After saying that, Xu Nian ignored his reaction and went into the village chief's room. She also had some things she wanted to tell him.

"Hey, what brings you here, fortune teller?"

As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by Wang Jinmei's sarcastic words, which seemed to be filled with strong hostility.

Despite Xu Nian saving countless lives, Wang Jinmei just couldn't stand her.

The village chief has been ignoring her these past few days; it must be because this vixen has been whispering something in her ear!

Xu Nian didn't bother with her at all, and walked to the village chief's side to ask, "Village chief, do you have a map? Let me see it."

Yes, it's here.

Upon hearing this, the village chief quickly took out the simple map he had obtained earlier and spread it out on the table.

Since the previous incidents, the village chief's attitude towards Xu Nian has subtly changed.

At first, he was just wary, worried that Xu Nian might do something bad to them.

But gradually, he discovered that Xu Nian was kind and had novel ideas, and often helped them, so the village chief slowly let go of his prejudice.

"We should head this way next."

Xu Nian raised her hand and pointed to a village not far from them. "Although the journey is long, in the long run, if we want to get to the capital, we will definitely have to pass through here. Rather than taking a detour later, we might as well confirm the direction now."

She had already roughly calculated the location before, and now that she had an accurate map, it was naturally much more convenient.

"Tch, they really think they're something special."

Before the village chief could speak, Wang Jinmei snorted coldly, her eyes rolling so hard they almost reached the sky.

She understood what Xu Nian was saying, but didn't want to agree, and was eager to find a sense of existence.

[The anchor should just shut her up permanently; I really don't want to hear her talk.]

[No way, does she think the streamer came here for the village chief?]

If I were the village chief, I'd be too ashamed to even tell anyone I had a wife like that!

Wang Jinmei is a typical example of someone who forgets the pain once the wound heals; she doesn't even remember that Xu Nian could easily crush her with a flick of his finger.

"Shut up."

The village chief increasingly felt that Wang Jinmei was being unreasonable and reprimanded her coldly.

Xu Nian glanced at her, thinking to herself that she might as well just make sure she could never speak again.

Wang Jinmei also keenly noticed the coldness that flashed in Xu Nian's eyes, and said defiantly, "Hehe, you two chat, let's see what kind of nonsense you can come up with!"

Then she shrank to one side and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Without Wang Jinmei interfering, Xu Nian's conversation with the village chief went extremely smoothly.

“I suggest we form a small team now to scout the route ahead. In return, I can provide them with three meals a day.”

Xu Nian had no shortage of food or money, but he didn't want to waste time and energy on surveying the road.

If such a job were offered with a clear price, many strong and healthy men would naturally be eager to do it.

What do you think?

Although she had already had her own ideas, the village chief was a highly respected figure, and Xu Nian should ask him for his opinion.

"I think there's no problem at all, let's do it this way."

The village chief had no objection to this; on the contrary, he strongly agreed.

He had wanted to do this before, but he had to give up because the villagers were not very enthusiastic.

But Xu Nian was willing to pay out of her own pocket, so he was naturally satisfied.

The two talked for a long time, making thorough plans for the future, including many strange and unusual ideas that the village chief had never heard of before.

Because the door was open, Gu Zhan overheard their entire conversation.

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Xu Nian, full of scrutiny.

It's astonishing that a young girl from the countryside possesses such high intelligence and leadership skills.

He recalled how Xu Nian had calmly dealt with the wolf pack earlier, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart. So he stood at the door, waiting for her to come out.

As soon as Xu Nian stepped out the door, she saw Gu Zhan leaning against the wall.

He was tall and strong, towering over her by more than a head, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

At this moment, Gu Zhan rested his hands on the door frame, leaned down slightly, and stared at him intently.

Xu Nian felt her ear tips getting hot for no reason and squeezed her palms.

[General! You're so handsome!]

[Like I said before, if the streamer gets the general to do a live stream with them, I'll shower them with likes!]

[Holy crap, who can handle this? Hope the streamer doesn't get a nosebleed!]

Xu Nian was speechless and cursed inwardly: Who would have a nosebleed!

“I heard everything you just said.”

Gu Zhan, however, did not notice Xu Nian's unusual behavior and said in a deep voice, "I think you are very smart, so I want to ask you a few questions. It doesn't matter if you can't answer them, just tell me what you think."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

When did this cold-faced, cunning general become interested in me?

However, Xu Nian did not refuse and readily agreed.

Following that, Gu Zhan posed questions one by one, from simple to difficult, from military strategy to military tactics.

Although Xu Nian was somewhat puzzled, she still answered fluently according to her own ideas.

The more Gu Zhan listened, the more alarmed he became.

This idea is almost comparable to his.

You have to understand, he himself is a battle-hardened general, while the other party is just a country girl, but this is enough to prove Xu Nian's intelligence.

"very nice."

Although inwardly surprised, Gu Zhan remained calm and said indifferently.

"Hmph, of course."

Upon receiving Gu Zhan's praise, Xu Nian raised her eyebrows, her eyes brimming with pride.

Gu Zhan seemed to ponder for a moment, and then uttered a statement that greatly surprised her.

"Would you like to come to the camp to do the accounting?"
