Chapter 1177 Cost

Before Wu Fan left Fengyu City, he had actually felt the atmosphere of Wu Ya being "encircled and suppressed". At that time, Qin Wei was even a member of the "encirclement and suppression" of Wu Ya. Although Wu Ya was the emperor of Nanping, she had not yet completely controlled Nanping. The ministers in the court did not have much respect for her.

Wu Fan's victory was crucial for Wu Ya to control the entire Nanping. The ministers in the court could not fail to understand this. After all, this was the first war Wu Ya encountered after ascending the throne. Moreover, Wu Fan was recommended by Wu Ya. Wu Fan's victory was Wu Ya's victory.

In this case, those who did not want to see Wu Fan win and Wu Ya completely control Nanping would inevitably jump up and down, and it was not impossible for them to do something extraordinary because of this.

"Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian are both old ministers in the court with rich experience. They both have concerns in this regard. Obviously, this matter cannot be ignored." Wu Fan said to himself.

Wu Fan still trusts Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian's intuition about the court. After all, they have been standing in the court for many years. They must have their own unique intuition about danger.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan sent Pei Yu and others away, and then summoned the Swift Eagle.

"Little Eagle, I'll give you a task." Wu Fan gave a few instructions to the Swift Eagle.

Then, the Swift Eagle spread its wings and flew high. After rising into the sky, it circled a few times and flew away.

Wu Fan looked at the figure of the Swift Eagle leaving, and felt a little relieved.

In public and private, Wu Fan didn't want to see Wu Ya get into trouble, even if it was just Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei's guess, Wu Fan didn't dare to be careless.

Pei Yu soon left and returned.

"My lord, Peng Chuan left, and with him, there were also several generals under his command." Pei Yu said to Wu Fan.

"When did they leave?" Wu Fan's face was not surprised. This was all within his expectations and what he wanted to see.

"Not long after we left the prison." Pei Yu said, "They took away the money and dry food that the lord asked me to prepare, and each of them took two horses."

"Two horses per person? Hey, they are really in a hurry to travel." Wu Fan smiled faintly.

One person with two horses can ensure that the horses always have the energy to run when traveling. Generally, people who are not in a hurry to travel will not do this.

"However, their feelings can be understood." Wu Fan said, "Let you and others keep an eye on the Black Water Kingdom. Peng Chuan and others have returned. It is impossible that the Black Water Kingdom has no unusual movements."

"Yes, lord." Pei Yu replied.

The two imperial envoys left, and Peng Chuan also left. Wu Fan had no need to stay in Shanling Pass for the time being. Before leaving, Wu Fan told Pei Yu to let the captives build the city defense as soon as possible. He said before that Shanling Pass might rekindle the war at any time. He was not deceiving Qin Wei and Zhao Xingnian, but he really had such concerns.

Before the war comes again, the more perfect the city defense facilities are, the safer the city will be when the war breaks out.

Fortunately, there are many captives in Shanling Pass now, and building the city defense is not a difficult task.

Pei Yu will naturally not slack off on Wu Fan's instructions. As for Wu Fan's leaving again, he has become accustomed to it.

After Wu Fan left Shanling Pass, he immediately went to Qingyuan County.

This time, Wu Fan went to Shanling Pass on a whim, and did not say hello to Qingyuan County. After leaving in a hurry, Wu Fan was also worried that something would happen in Qingyuan County.

However, it turned out that Wu Fan's worries were unnecessary. When he returned to Qingyuan County, he found that everything was normal and no accidents happened.

Think about it, this is normal.

The rebel forces around Qingyuan County have been eliminated, and only scattered rebels are still active. Even these rebels who are still active are now at the end of their strength. Facing the encirclement and suppression of many armies in Qingyuan County, they are even more anxious. Some are thinking about whether to surrender, and some are thinking about fleeing to other cities.

This Qingyuan County can't stay. The three major rebel forces can't stay, let alone these scattered forces.

Without external threats, the refugees around Qingyuan County have returned to their villages with seeds, farm tools, dry food and other things given by Wu Fan, and they have returned to their previous lives.

In Qingyuan County, Wu Fan is both a viscount and a county magistrate, and the Ji family has been eliminated. It can be said that Wu Fan is now the only one in Qingyuan County. No one dares to disobey his words. Even if he does not show up for a while, no one dares to make trouble here.

Returning to Wu Mansion, Wu Fan saw Xiang Yuer again in the yard, eating cakes and looking at the scenery.

Because of Wu Fan's instructions, Xiang Yuer enjoys VIP treatment in Wu Mansion. As long as her request can be done, Sun Liang will not refuse, and she does not have to do anything every day.

"Aren't you tired of sitting here and looking at the scenery every day?" Wu Fan came to sit next to Xiang Yuer and took the cakes on the table.

However, Wu Fan's hand touched nothing. When his hand was about to touch the cakes, the cakes and the plate disappeared from their original place.

"Not tired." Xiang Yuer said lightly while holding the plate.

"Stingy." Wu Fan took back his hand and said angrily, "Actually, you can go out for a walk. There's no need to stay in this mansion all the time. The scenery outside the mansion is better."

Wu Fan did not restrict Xiang Yuer's freedom. When Wu Fan saw Xiang Yuer's strong strength, he wanted to "lure" her to his side. But as for what to let her do, Wu Fan had not actually thought about it. He just felt that it would be safer to have such a master by his side. As for supporting Xiang Yuer like now, Wu Fan did not have much pressure. With his current strength, it was still no problem to support a "free man".

"I don't like it." Xiang Yuer said lightly while eating cakes: "It's nice here, quiet, and not so much trouble."

"Okay, you decide for yourself." Wu Fan shrugged and said: "But you live and eat here every day, shouldn't you pay some accommodation fees, food expenses, etc."

Wu Fan was obviously joking, joking with Xiang Yuer.

But after Xiang Yuer heard it, she looked at Wu Fan, then took out a book from her arms and threw it to Wu Fan, and then continued to eat the cakes in her hand.

"I'm kidding, you don't need it..." Wu Fan hurriedly tried to explain, but when he saw the words on the book, he was stunned.

"What do you mean by not needing it?" Xiang Yuer asked calmly.

"If you don't need it, just give it to me!" Wu Fan said.
