Fang Qing knew about the Wang family. After the Da Shan family expanded their business, they bought a house in the county town. The Wang family were their neighbors and were in the cloth business.
"Great job, Brother Dashan, you're getting married soon."
"Go away, don't talk nonsense, it's not even close to being done yet."
"You have to invite me to your wedding if you get any news!"
"I can forget anyone but you. Have you eaten? I'll have the kitchen make you something."
Fang Qing had lunch here, and after the meal, she checked the store's accounts and then left.
Suddenly, I found myself with a lot of free time, which felt a bit strange.
Seeing that it was still early, Fang Qing got into the carriage and planned to take a stroll around the experimental fields.
As they headed east out of the county town, the road became increasingly difficult to travel. Fang Qing, sitting in the carriage looking at the grain cultivation records, felt dizzy from the swaying, so she simply put down the record book and lifted the curtain to look outside.
An County is mountainous and has beautiful scenery. Fang Qing was staring blankly at the wheat field when the carriage suddenly jolted and then stopped moving.
The coachman got out to check and said the carriage was broken.
Fang Qing also jumped off the carriage.
With a road like this, no vehicle can withstand the damage.
"Can it be fixed?"
"Yes, but you'll have to wait a while."
The experimental field was not far ahead, where workers were stationed year-round. Fang Qing planned to walk there herself.
She hadn't gone far when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Fang Qing turned around and saw four tall black horses carrying four men approaching.
Fang Qing quickly retreated to the side of the road.
But when the four horses reached her, they suddenly slowed down, and the man with the thick beard at the head of the horses stared at her.
Fang Qing felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that, and she frowned.
She wanted to wait until the four people were far away before leaving, but after walking a short distance, the four people stopped, and the bearded man even came over.
In the middle of nowhere, Fang Qing tensed up when she was noticed by four burly men.
She had already opened the system shop, intending to redeem pepper spray, when the other person stopped a meter away from her.
"Young lady, is this the direction to Fangjia Village?"
Fang Qing gave them a wary look.
"Are you from Fangjia Village?"
"No, we're going to Fangjia Village to visit relatives."
"This is the right road to take."
"Okay, thank you, young lady."
The big man didn't argue, mounted his horse, and rode away.
After walking about ten meters, the person behind him finally shouted a question to the bearded man—
"Second brother, that girl is really beautiful. She has a different air about her than the other girls in the village. Could she be the one our boss has been longing for?"
The bearded man glanced back.
"Who knew? We still have things to do. Let's hurry up and get back to the county town before dark."
Four men and four horses galloped along a country road, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Fang Qing covered her nose and waited for a while, her gaze following the other person as they gradually disappeared into the distance.
They were iron cavalrymen with black iron palms.
"Xiaodou, is that a military horse?"
[It should be correct, and they are all Western domain horses.]
Western Regions?
Fang Qing suddenly thought of the Northwesterners who were buying grain that Zhou Ning had mentioned that morning, and her expression gradually became serious.
People from the Northwest, speaking with an unfamiliar accent, rode horses from the Western Regions and bought so many grain seeds...
"Could they be from the Northern Rong?"
Their country is at war with the Northern Rong. If these grain seeds are bought by the Northern Rong, wouldn't she be indirectly committing treason?
Fang Qing tensed up.
No, they should be people from the Northwest Army camp.
Is he really a soldier?
"Then what are they going to Fangjia Village for?"
They seem to be in a hurry.
I don't know about that.
Xiaodou was never interested in people who were irrelevant to the task.
Fang Qing walked a short distance before arriving at the small house in the experimental field.
I chatted with the staff here about the growth of experimental wheat and some melons and fruits.
These people are all skilled farmers. Fang Qing can share what she has learned from the system with them, and she can also learn a lot from them.
They talked for so long that they lost track of time, and it wasn't until the driver came to call her that she realized the sun had already set.
After saying goodbye to the people at the experimental field, Fang Qing returned to Fangjia Village by carriage, and it was already dark.
As soon as they got off the carriage at home, Fang Daniu came out of the house.
“Bean Sprout, I’ve already spoken to the village chief about the road repair. He said he’ll discuss it with the village chiefs of the surrounding villages.”
“Okay, if they repair the village road, then we’ll pay for the repair of the main road leading to the county town.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to the village chief first thing tomorrow morning.”
As the father and daughter entered the house, Fang Daniu suddenly remembered what had happened that day and said, "By the way, this afternoon four outsiders came into the village and asked about the burial grounds of the village chief, Fang Dashuan."
Fang Qing immediately thought of the four people riding motorcycles that afternoon.
"I also ran into them on the road; they must be relatives of Fang Dashuan."
"Fang Dashuan doesn't have any relatives in the Northwest Army either."
"northwest?"
"Yes, the village chief called Fang Xiaoshuan and his wife, but neither of them recognized the four people. The four people then showed a token and said they were from the Northwest Army camp. No one in the village recognized the token or knew if it was real. Anyway, the four people left after they finished visiting the grave."
In the Northwest military camp, Fang Dashuan...
Fang Qing suddenly thought of Fang Zhu, whom she had helped during a mission.
Fang Qing's eyelids twitched.
Xiaodou once said that Fangzhu is an important figure in this world.
Could it be that Fang Zhu really did become a great general?
Even so, what was the Northwest Army doing buying so many grain seeds?
