For the next seven days, Fu Zhiyi felt like every day was a year.

Pain and happiness.

There were a lot of people watching during the day, but they were relatively restrained, with only some eye contact at most.

At night, only the couple were left upstairs. After successfully detoxifying, Fu Zhiyi seemed to have turned on some magical switch. No one knew where he had learned those methods and skills, but he used them all on Lu Zhenzhen.

Although the two have not reached the final step, Fu Zhiyi is still enjoying it.

Fortunately, Qi Chaihu gave Fu Zhiyi some advice, and he became much more restrained in the next few days.

Because she had to return to the county town in seven days, Lu Zhenzhen felt a little reluctant to leave this farm.

When he had nothing to do during the day, he would take a few maids and attendants to walk around the foot of the mountain behind.

When I come back, I never come back empty-handed. Sometimes I bring a handful of wild mushrooms, sometimes some herbs, and sometimes a few wild fish from the mountain valley.

Throw it into the kitchen and ask Chef Ding to add another dish.

Lu Zhenzhen also asked someone to ask Chef Ding, wanting him to go to the backyard of the county government office and work as a chef for their family, with preferential treatment.

Chef Ding nodded and agreed without hesitation, his eyes filled with gratitude.

You have to know that he was just a cook on a merchant's farm before, and was only used occasionally when the host entertained guests.

There is no future at all.

But now he can cook for the county magistrate and his wife. He must have such a high smoke rising from his ancestral grave to have such a blessing.

Chef Ding decided that when offering sacrifices to his ancestors at the end of this year, he must offer the largest pig's head to express his gratitude.

Lu Zhenzhen is making the most of these last few days to spend a rare leisure time, otherwise she will be unable to avoid being lazy when she returns to the county town.

Fu Zhiyi, on the other hand, went to look for the golden cicada and then detoxify it. It took him five or six days, and a lot of things piled up, all waiting for him to deal with.

After Tang Liang settled down, he also came over and waited for him to make the next plan.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if these 300 people had nothing to do after eating and drinking every day and just bent their toes to play with their free time.

Not to mention the daily expenses, the biggest problem is that I have no idea how to do the things assigned by my superiors.

As soon as he received the news from Fu Zhiyi, he rushed over immediately.

He was a military general and always spoke directly without any hesitation.

The first thing he said when he saw Fu Zhiyi was, "Master Fu, what exactly is the protocol for this order from above? I can't let my brothers stay at home all day, can I? I have a few hundred people here. If I don't give them something to do, it's easy for problems to arise. If something goes wrong and we alert the enemy, who will be held responsible?"

Fu Zhiyi raised his hand, signaling Tang Liang Shaoan to calm down. "Captain Tang, I know you're anxious, but this can't be rushed. You and I have only just arrived in Nanyue County, and we haven't figured anything out yet. If we move too much, what will happen if someone finds out?"

"But my brothers..." Tang Liang tried to say something.

Fu Zhiyi stopped him with a gesture and said sternly, "Captain Tang, I don't need to teach you how to obey orders, do I? Besides, the two manors I've assigned to you are not far from each other, but in remote areas. Apart from these two manors, there are no other people nearby, and they are close to the mountains. This arrangement is sufficient for your men to train on a daily basis, right?"

Tang Liang smiled awkwardly, "Aren't we brothers all anxious? We've all left our homes and come to South Vietnam, and many of us are having trouble acclimatizing. We just want to finish our mission quickly so we can report back."

Fu Zhiyi's expression was cold. "Didn't Commander Wei explain this to you before we came? If this mission was so easy, why would you, hundreds of people, follow me all the way to South Vietnam? It's good to be eager to make a contribution, but when we're new here and don't know anything, that's a big no-no, isn't it, Captain Tang?"

Tang Liang touched the back of his head and chuckled, "But it's not a good idea for us brothers to just sit around doing nothing. The expenses for hundreds of people are quite high—"

Fu Zhiyi casually suggested, "If Captain Tang is worried about this, why not have your subordinates pretend to be hired farmers in the farm or hunters in the mountains? If that doesn't work, they can also work as laborers at the docks. That way, they can gather information, earn money, and keep their identities private. How do you do that?"

Tang Liang really wanted to blurt out "It's not a big deal."

But when he looked into Fu Zhiyi's calm eyes that seemed to be able to see through all his thoughts, he became scared.

He lowered his head and grunted for a while before saying, "Master Fu's suggestion is very good, very good. I, I will discuss it with my brothers when I go back and make some arrangements-"

After saying that, he forced a smile and said, "Then I'll take my leave first—"

After bowing and coming out, he wiped the sweat from his head.

This civil servant was very cunning. Before he could express his thoughts, Fu Zhiyi contradicted him with a few words.

It seems that His Majesty made the right choice in choosing Lord Fu to carry out this task.

He was young and seemed friendly on the road. He was quite caring towards his brothers. They thought he was a young and easy-going person.

As a result of this test, I found out that he was very tough and would not suffer any loss or give in.

In this case, the suggestion cannot be taken seriously as a suggestion, but must be implemented.

Tang Liang slapped his head, jumped on his horse and rode away.

When Fu Zhiyi came back at dinner time, there was no expression on his face.

But Lu Zhenzhen was someone who could already tell whether Fu Zhiyi was in a good mood or not from his micro-expressions and aura.

For example, today, just by looking at the corners of Fu Zhiyi's mouth, which was eight notes lower than usual, and his slightly drooping eyelids, you can tell that he is not in a very good mood.

After serving the dishes, he signaled the waiter to leave.

Lu Zhenzhen picked up a piece of food for Fu Zhiyi with her chopsticks before asking, "What's wrong? Did someone provoke you?"

Fu Zhiyi snorted coldly and relayed Tang Liang's words to Lu Zhenzhen before sneering, "They say those military commanders are simple-minded and strong-limbed, and most of all straightforward and without any ulterior motives. But listen to what Tang Liang said today. He's setting traps for me everywhere and testing me."

Lu Zhenzhen quickly agreed, "That's right. War requires troop deployment. How can you fight without any scheming? Are you just going to clash head-on? There must be eight hundred scheming generals out there. Otherwise, how could they have fought the civil officials openly and secretly for so many years without losing? Maybe they're just deliberately advertising themselves as straightforward and simple-minded to lower your defenses!"

Maybe some soldiers at the lower level are really simple-minded and have no brains. Maybe some of them climb up and become captains. No one would believe that they are simple-minded!

Fu Zhiyi felt that Lu Zhenzhen's words hit the nail on the head, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I'm also anxious. I just don't know if Huang Chunsheng and Lin Dejiang can give us a surprise."
