As soon as he heard this, Ye Feng suddenly became nervous and asked carefully: "Tell me more specifically, what is the situation?"

"As soon as our people arrived here, they found that there were no people here, but...there were traces of human activity on the top of the mountain, and there seemed to be villages in the mountains, but when we went in to investigate, there was no one there."

"What's going on, a whole village has to move?"

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But there are a lot of things involved in relocating the whole village, and it doesn't look like a famine year in this area. How can it be possible for the village to be relocated for no reason?"

"Is there something wrong around here?"

Ye Feng became alert.

When we set off, my sister specifically reminded us to be extremely careful on the road.Because his promotion path has been a thorn in the side of many people, and I'm afraid countless people will stumble along the way.

Tiaozi may have said it lightly, but in fact, assassinations were happening one after another.

But Ye Feng's journey along the way was indeed too smooth. The smoothness made Ye Feng feel a little strange. Although he would not let down his guard, he would inevitably feel lucky that those people did not dare to take action in the middle.

Especially since Ye Feng had been setting off for so long, he was almost at the border pass. It was only about a thousand miles away from the border pass. It should be said that no one would choose to take action near here.

But Ye Feng still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"There may be something wrong, but maybe... because we don't know exactly how this village migrated. Maybe it migrated a long time ago. The traces of life nearby may have been left by some hunters."

"According to your wishes, we will ignore the affairs of this village and continue marching directly?" Ye Feng asked immediately after hearing the deputy general's words.

The lieutenant general was silent for a moment, but he was also a little unsure, "But... I can't say for sure. What if the enemy has an ambush near here?"

"This is the territory of Dajing. How could Qiaoguo have an ambush here?" Ye Feng felt funny when he heard what the deputy general said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. I know what you mean. Do you think there might be someone in the capital?" Ambushing and waiting to kill me, right?"

"..."

The lieutenant didn't speak, but looked around and made sure no one was approaching before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the deputy general's behavior, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "If I die, you can take my place as the commander. In fact, you don't need to tell me."

"This... does have such benefits... but there is no need for it. I am here to fight, not to gain credit. What's more, the next place I'm going to is the border where Marquis Dingguo is stationed. If I rob you position, what will Marquis Dingguo think of me when the time comes, I originally chose to join the army because I admire Marquis Dingguo."

"You can rest assured about this. My father will never anger others at will because of such things." Ye Feng said, "But your explanation sounds much more comfortable than directly expressing your loyalty to me."

Lieutenant General: "..."

He said: "Just because I say this doesn't mean that I believe you, but I am really curious about what's going on in this village. If there is really an ambush, I can't spare it even if I want to take a detour. It's better to take the initiative." .”

"Anyway, I've made the pros and cons clear to you. It's all your own business to choose. Whatever you want." The deputy general waved his hand.

Although the deputy general's attitude was not good, Ye Feng's mood eased a lot, "Thank you."

The deputy general was stunned for a moment: "Don't thank me."

He didn't know why, but the expression on his face became weird again. He looked up and down at Ye Feng a few more times, then withdrew his gaze and said softly: "You should think about how to survive in the future."

"You seem to care more about whether I live or not than I do." Ye Feng frowned when he heard the deputy general's words and glanced at him.

The deputy general took a step back, glared at Ye Feng, and then said angrily: "I just didn't want the commander to die not long after I joined the army."

"You just joined the army not long ago? That's strange, how did you become a lieutenant general?" Ye Feng couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing this.

"This seems to have nothing to do with you!" the deputy general said harshly, "Anyway, I have finished what I should say, so I will excuse you and take my leave!"

After saying that, the deputy general seemed to be unhappy with Ye Feng, and he snorted again before leaving.

Only Ye Feng stood there, scratching the back of his head a little strangely.

"It's strange. Did I say something wrong just now that made him angry?"

Ye Feng really didn't guess what the deputy general was thinking.

But this was just an incident on the march. Ye Feng didn't think much about it, so he put the matter behind him and began to think about the village's relocation.

The migration of this village is not a trivial matter. If it were not for natural disasters such as drought and floods, few native people would be willing to leave their hometown and go to another place to develop again?

If you want to find out, you have to find out where the village went after it moved.

And we have to send people to this empty village to check the specific situation.

There might be some good clues.

But there was not much time left for Ye Feng, because after a night's rest, he would have to set off to the border again tomorrow, and he could not delay his march because of his own problems.

That left Ye Feng with not many choices.

"A night spree?"

Ye Feng thought for a while and finally made his decision.

……

After Yelan spent a few peaceful days in the palace, the queen persevered in sending people over to ease the relationship. After Yelan had been with Qiao for a while, she knew that things couldn't be done too badly, so she became familiar with the queen again.

But this time it was different from before. The queen's attitude towards Yelan was obviously more sincere. At least before, everyone was taking advantage of each other.

Now the queen still has some trust in Yelan.

After all, she didn't get angry even when something like that happened, which proved that Yelan was still very optimistic about their marriage. The scale in the queen's mind had unknowingly tilted towards Yelan.

However, Ye Lan still maintained his temper and did not get too close to the queen. He still stayed in the Baihua Palace every day and rarely went out.

It turned out that the maids who disappeared in Baihua Palace were replaced by a new batch of blood soon.

This new person is still much smarter than the old one. He is no longer as eager for quick success as before. At least on the surface, he is still serving Ye Lan honestly.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't go too far, Yelan will just turn a blind eye.

These palace ladies are just pitiful people.

And when Yelan was about to continue living in seclusion like this, someone knocked on her door. She happened to be resting, and she woke up instantly when she heard the short knock on the door.

I opened the door to see who was knocking, but the person was no longer there.

But there was a small note at the door.
