Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1767: Chapter 562: Fan Yang’s Admiration, River Valley to Become a City (Part 3)

Unfortunately, his strength was really too weak, weak enough that any soldier from the Xia Army could easily stop him. During the day, he had actually seen Xia Hong from a distance and had once gathered the courage to shout, trying to catch his attention.

But just as he shouted once, he was immediately stared down by countless Xia Army soldiers. These soldiers had just finished a bloody battle with Cai Qiu’s army; their eyes were too fierce. Though they said nothing, he was so frightened that he shut his mouth.

With no choice, he could only follow the Xia Army back to River Valley Village.

Fortunately, he was the village head of River Valley Village. In terms of familiarity with the village’s situation and the surrounding terrain, he dared to claim second place, while no one would dare claim first. The Xia Army needed to find a place to detain captured soldiers and survey the surrounding terrain, so he was the first person they thought of.

The person who sought him out at that time was Yuan Bai.

He was the Vice Commander of the Dragon Forbidden Captain. Just how high this position was, Fan Kong still didn’t know, but after endeavoring to help Yuan Bai with all matters, he mustered the courage to express his desire to meet Xia Hong.

As expected, Yuan Bai rejected him directly.

“Meet the Lord?”

Yuan Bai only said these three words at the time, using a questioning tone, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Fan Kong, seasoned in experience, quickly realized that his request was indeed somewhat far-fetched when viewed from the other party’s perspective.

This was similar to him going to Qinghua City and requesting a meeting with City Lord Cai Yunzhou; everyone would likely think he had lost his mind, and no one would pay him any attention.

Moreover, that was only Cai Yunzhou, while the Lord of Great Xia was a person of comparable status to Landgrave Cai Qianshan.

With his identity, capability, and status, where did he have the qualification to meet the Lord?

Understanding this, Fan Kong no longer mentioned seeking to meet the Lord but rather directly expressed his concern for the over 20,000 people in River Valley Village, pleading with Yuan Bai to bring it up with the high-level officials of Great Xia, considering his dedicated service.

When Yuan Bai heard he was seeking a path for the over 20,000 citizens of River Valley Village, his expression improved considerably, and he even took him to the main building, expressing his intention to introduce him to meet some of the officials.

Although he couldn’t enter the main hall, just standing at the door, Fan Kong could sense the powerful aura of dozens of people inside. Combined with the Xia Army soldiers patrolling around the main building, he instantly realized how outrageous his request to meet the Great Xia Lord was.

This was akin to when he held meetings in the village, and a three or four-year-old child suddenly came with a request to see him. The guards at the door probably wouldn’t even ask the reason; they would just chase the child away.

Though somewhat absurd, the situation was indeed similar. He, in front of these Xia Army soldiers, was no different from a three or four-year-old child.

The main hall was clearly shielded by some means; even though he stood at the door, he couldn’t hear a single word of what the officials were saying inside.

In the end, Yuan Bai brought him good news after the meeting concluded.

“The Great Xia plans to bring Green Jade Valley under its governance, so it won’t engage in battles with Cai Qiu’s army here. River Valley Village has favorable terrain, and Lord Qiu has proposed to the Lord to build a city here, to which the Lord agreed…”

River Valley Village will not become a battlefield, and Great Xia intends to build a city here!

Taking only these two meanings from Yuan Bai’s later explanations, Fan Kong was overjoyed and almost shouted out loud at that time.

River Valley Village is going to have a city built!
