"What did you say?" Fang Zilan turned to look at Qi Yuming, his clear eyes could not be concealed by the blood-stained clothes and dust on his face, "Master Lu Tang was seriously injured after being hit, and he was too sad, so he died on the way to exile. .”
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Well, since everyone is dead, there is nothing more to say. Go away, don't let me see you again."
"Nothing more to say?" He looked evil and sneered: "Master Lu Tang had a good reputation all his life, but in the end he was framed by others and died in exile for no apparent reason. If I can't avenge him, how can I be worthy of his treatment? My favor?"
"Innocent?" Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him amusedly, "What you mean by innocence is that you are relying on the power of a wealthy family to disregard human lives?"
"You're such a mouthful!" His blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. He lost his center of gravity and knelt on one knee.
Fang Zilan put away her sword and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, you should not put your life and wealth on one person. I see that you are good at martial arts, so I let you go. Don't be ungrateful."
He snorted contemptuously, "I think you have a guilty conscience and have harmed Master Lu Tang's life. That's why you let me go, right?"
"Guilty?" Fang Zilan lowered her head and smiled with interest, her eyes falling on him, "Have you ever heard of the term "you deserve to blame yourself?"
"What do you mean?" He stared at Fang Zilan blankly, and the smile on her face became even brighter. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Just like your Lord Lu Tang, what's the point of not bringing the blame on yourself?"
After Fang Zilan finished speaking, he raised his sword and dropped it. A flash of silver light flashed, and the person in front of him fell lifelessly to the ground. The overflowing blood dyed the snow beneath him red. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it looked indescribably cold and desolate. .
"Fang Zilan!" Awan quickly ran to her, held her arm, and said eagerly: "How are you?"
"It's okay, I can hold on." She patted the back of Awan's hand soothingly and walked slowly to Qi Yuming, Shangguan Min and Vice General Cao, "How are you doing?"
"Boss, I'm fine." Vice General Cao struggled to stand up and shook off the dust on his clothes. "They are just minor injuries, nothing serious."
"As long as I'm here, don't be brave next time." Fang Zilan said, patting Deputy General Cao's shoulder, "Your skills are for fighting on the battlefield. It's not worth using them to fight with killers."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Qi Yuming and Shangguan Min, "The same goes for you. Next time you see such a person, hide away if you can and don't confront him head-on."
"Master Fang taught you a lesson." Qi Yuming stood up straight against the door frame and said with a smile: "But if I didn't support Master Fang for this moment and a half, I'm afraid Master Fang may not be able to leave this room."
"Master Qi is right." Fang Zilan nodded calmly, "I owe you a favor. Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"
"Since Mr. Fang said so, I am disrespectful." Qi Yuming flicked his sleeves and bowed respectfully, "I want to ask Mr. Fang for someone, and I hope Mr. Fang will allow it."
Fang Zilan looked at Qi Yuming steadily and suddenly smiled, "If there are no assassins tonight, what conditions does Mr. Qi intend to use to ask for my life?"
"No conditions are required." Qi Yuming still had a faint smile on his face, "The person I want is already making things difficult for Mr. Fang, so why not let me take him away and save Mr. Fang's worries."
"The person who makes things difficult for me?" Fang Zilan lowered her eyes thoughtfully, her expression gradually becoming serious, "The person you want is Shangguan Linglan?"
"Exactly." Qi Yuming nodded and said, "Both Shangguan Linglan's grandmother and father have some relationship with my Qi family, so it's not an exaggeration to call her an old friend. I can't just sit back and ignore my old friend's daughter."
"People say that the forces in the north are intertwined, and today it turns out that this is true." Fang Zilan relaxed, "Since Shangguan Linglan is the daughter of Master Qi's old friend, Master Qi can just take her away. I promised her Aunt Huo Sanniang, if you want to take good care of her, it won’t be a letdown if you leave her to Master Qi now.”
Qi Yuming received Fang Zilan's approval, clasped his fists in a salute, and said loudly: "Qi Yuming will do his best."
"You came to my house this time just to take care of me?" Fang Zilan squinted her eyes, a look of tiredness appeared on her face, "Is everything okay over there in the military camp?"
"Everything is fine." Qi Yuming said, half-covering his face with his sleeves, and coughed a few times, "Vice General Li asked me to bring a message to Mr. Fang, saying that nothing happened in the army, and that Mr. Fang should rest in peace."
"Okay. You're seriously injured. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do." Fang Zilan said while motioning to A Wan to check the injuries of the three of them. A Wan couldn't say much because of her face, so she had to go forward to check. The injuries of three people.
Awan quickly bandaged the wounds of the three of them, and then went to the kitchen to boil some medicine for oral use and delivered it to the three of them. Seeing that the three of them drank the medicine, she felt relieved and kept busy until midnight. .
Fang Zilan directed several nursing staff to take away the assassin's body and clean up the blood stains in the courtyard. After everything was tidied up, he happened to see A Wan coming back and walking to the corridor, sneezing several times in succession while walking.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan quickly took a cloak from the house and put it on Awan, "It's early winter in the north, so don't catch a cold."
"Now that I think about it, I care about me." Awan sighed helplessly, "You also said that others are brave, but I think you are the bravest one. Do you know how scared I was just now?"
"Awan can't trust me?" Fang Zilan's tone was full of teasing, which made Awan couldn't help but shake his head, "Why are you showing off? If the assassin hadn't been shocked by the last sword just now, you would have been the one who died. ”
"What do Awan think of that sword?" Fang Zilan was not worried and looked at Awan with a smile. She shrank her body into her cloak and said in a low voice: "It's good, it's really good. A little more is less deadly." One point is insignificant, but he deserves to be the best in the world.”
Fang Zilan knelt down, with a smile on her face, "It's rare for our Awan to praise me so directly. What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that I underestimated you before." Awan turned her head away, not daring to look directly into her eyes, "I heard from Master that the poison on your body was so powerful, and I always thought that it was the poison that made you the best in the world. . Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that if this poison is put on someone else, they may not be the best in the world."
"Awan?" Fang Zilan called her name uncertainly.
She turned her head and looked at Fang Zilan, with a complicated look on her face, "It's not something that can be achieved in a day just by relying on the recovered strength and without any internal strength. It's really amazing to be able to practice to this level."
When she said the last sentence, the expression on her face faded, and was eventually replaced by relief, and a trace of admiration and envy flashed in her eyes.
Fang Zilan was about to say something when she heard Awan's voice again, "This is the first snow in the north this year. It's really different from the capital."
