"What do you mean by not saying anything?" Fang Zilan walked up to the crowd, her expression a bit colder, "Even if the Shangguan family is guilty, it won't make you dare not even tell the whereabouts of Shangguan Min, right? Could it be that you are actually... Are you so afraid of being implicated?"
"Master Fang, what are you talking about?" Xu Canjun, who was standing in front of Fang Zilan, hurriedly denied, "I won't tell you, but..."
Xu Canjun looked troubled and didn't say anything further, but Fang Zilan didn't let him go, "Just what?"
"I just think that Mr. Fang shouldn't be so concerned about a sinner." Vice General Qin took a step forward calmly and answered for Xu Canjun.
Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him indifferently, "It's my business if I don't like it, no need for others to say anything. Xu Canjun, where is Shangguan Min?"
"This..." Xu Canjun glanced at Fang Zilan in embarrassment, and then took a peek at Vice General Qin. He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
"If you don't tell me, I'll look for it myself." Fang Zilan looked at the submissive Xu Canjun in a funny way, "I don't believe it. I dug three feet into the ground in the north and still can't find a Shangguan Min."
After she said that, she raised her feet and left. Vice General Qin quickly stopped her, "Master Fang, please wait."
"Why, you won't let me look for you if you don't tell me?" She smiled coldly, "Could it be that I let your main army get into trouble, so you think it's easier for me to talk to you?"
"I don't dare." Vice General Qin cupped his fists and saluted, "Shangguan Min is here in Mobei to kill the wolf."
"Kill wolves?" Fang Zilan repeated Vice General Qin's words blankly. She didn't know that there was such a job as killing wolves in the army, so she was a little confused for a moment.
Seeing her doubts, Vice General Qin explained a few words, "There are many wolves in Mobei, and the people are often injured by them, so Qi Shenjun specially formed a team to kill the wolves." Hearing this, Fang Zilan's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled a bit coldly. , "Everyone in this team is named Shangguan?"
Vice General Qin was stunned by her question and murmured: "This... the manpower has been arranged in various places in the army. There are no free people at the moment. Only a few people from the Shangguan family are new..."
"Yes, it's quite appropriate." She nodded, her tone was very pertinent, which made Vice General Qin a little confused, "Master Fang means..."
"It's not interesting, I just feel it's new and want to see it with my own eyes." She said casually, pointing casually, "Vice General Cao, Vice General Qin, you two come with me to see how to kill a wolf. People do whatever they need to do.”
When Deputy General Cao and Deputy General Qin heard Fang Zilan call their names, they both nodded hurriedly and followed her out of the tent, riding their horses straight to the desert.
Vice General Qin followed with a gloomy look on his face. After holding back for a while, he finally couldn't help but say, "Sir Fang, it's getting late. Wouldn't it be too risky for just the three of us to go to the desert?"
"Why are there only three of us?" Fang Zilan turned around and glanced at Deputy General Qin, and said in a relaxed tone: "Isn't there a wolf-killing team?"
Fang Zilan choked up Vice General Qin's words and was speechless. Of course he knew that Qi Shenjun was just using the pretext of killing wolves to eradicate dissidents.
The group of people from the Shangguan family who had just entered the army camp were all useless second-generation ancestors, and with the addition of Shangguan Min, who was half Jin, there were so many people in the army that no one could stand it. Even if they were eaten by wolves, no one would care.
But who would have thought that Fang Zilan would ask about Shangguan Min's whereabouts as soon as he arrived. He mentioned that Shangguan Min was Fang Zilan's forward in the previous battle at Gilded City. The two of them might have had some friendship. If Shangguan Min really died in the mouths of the wolves, would Fang Zilan know? Will they be blamed?
Here, Lieutenant General Qin's mind turned over and over again, and his thoughts took countless twists and turns. Over there, Fang Zilan was wondering whether Shangguan Min's skills could save his life among the wolves. Lieutenant General Cao followed his boss wholeheartedly and boasted that he was infallible. The three of them Neither spoke.
Fang Zilan and the other three people were galloping all the way, and in a blink of an eye they were several miles outside Kapok Town. Not far away were the remains of the Gilded City.
The Gilded City currently has no troops stationed in it and is in ruins everywhere. It has long been a deserted city. The wolf-killing team that Vice General Qin mentioned must be nearby.
Fang Zilan rode her horse to a stop not far from the remains of the gilded city wall, looked at the black scorched earth in the distance, and said with an indifferent expression: "Vice General Qin, is the Wolf Killer you talk about here?"
Vice General Qin listened to her name and asked the question, and quickly replied: "It's still further away, outside the Gilded City."
"Outside the Gilt City?" She turned her head and looked at Vice General Qin behind her, her tone a bit surprised, "Is there a place outside the Gilt City where the people of my capital would go?"
"Master Fang, you don't know something. The desert in the north has always been desolate, but there are also some merchants and tourists, including the people of Dajing and some other nomadic tribes." Vice General Qin's words made Fang Zilan feel that he was so rare. She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart, but she concealed it very well and said calmly: "Then why didn't we set up a wolf-killing team before?"
"It's strange to say." Vice General Qin frowned slightly, "Although there have been incidents of wolves hurting people in the past, for some reason recently, people have frequently said that they were attacked by wolves, and the matter has reached Master Zhong's ears. We I didn’t dare to neglect, so I sent Shangguan Min and others to kill the wolf first.”
Vice General Qin's words were sincere and did not look like hypocrisy. Fang Zilan was silent for a moment, and then said: "You were in the military camp just now, why didn't you explain?"
"This..." Vice General Qin was stunned by her question, and he grabbed the reins in his hand with some embarrassment, "Although there is a reason, Lord Fang is right. Qi Canjun and we have selfish motives. There’s no need to deny it.”
Although Vice General Qin looked embarrassed, he spoke frankly, making her chuckle, "You are an honest person."
Vice General Qin was confused when he saw Fang Zilan smiling, and said in a low voice: "Master Fang, if you want to blame Shangguan Min..."
"What to blame?" Fang Zilan interrupted him and smiled slightly, "Even if you have selfish motives, what you did was not wrong. As a soldier, it is our duty to protect the people. Whether it is going to the battlefield or killing wolves, it is just a matter of protection. Since Shangguan Min can go to the battlefield, he can also kill wolves. There is no difference. He is a soldier and it is natural for him to obey orders. What are you doing wrong? "
"Master Fang..." Vice General Qin looked at the person in front of him blankly, but she still just smiled, "Besides, you have told the truth, so what do I have to blame?"
Seeing that Vice General Qin was still in a daze, Vice General Cao sighed suddenly and slapped Vice General Qin on the shoulder, "I said, Old Qin, what are you thinking? Our boss is very sensible and sensible. You are right to follow her." .”
"Boss?" Vice General Qin couldn't help laughing when he heard Vice General Cao's arrogant words: "Old Cao, you are too insignificant, aren't you?"
"I asked them to call it that." Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "You can call it that if you want."
"Master Fang, let's forget it, right?" Vice General Qin's appearance of sitting upright made Fang Zilan shake his head involuntarily, "It's up to you, let's..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a sound of piercing the sky. She raised her head suddenly and unsheathed the sword in her hand, but her expression suddenly changed the moment she saw it clearly.
