However, Fang Zilan and others were busy with official duties and had no time to take care of Li Qiyou, so he left without staying for a while.
After finally waiting for Li Qiyou to leave, Fang Zilan couldn't help but quietly asked Zhuge Yu behind Pei Xiaoze's back: "Why does Mr. Pei also participate in social dramas? As far as I know, it has been four or five years since Mr. Pei became an official in the court. Not really an upstart."
Zhuge Yu lowered his voice and said: "In the New Year's social drama, the family of Gongqing must have someone. The next generation of the Pei family's children are too young to be on the stage. Among the older generation, only Pei is the most humble and humble person. He is easy to talk to and is not taken seriously by the Pei family, so Mr. Pei has participated in the New Year's social dramas in recent years."
Fang Zilan said with disbelief: "Master Pei, is he considered a humble person?"
Zhuge Yu coughed heavily to cover up Fang Zilan's words, and then looked at her to tell her to speak softer, "Even in the family of Gongqing, not everyone's status is respected. Some people occupy high positions and others have low status. Most people in the world just see the wind. It’s not unusual for people to use the rudder to lift the rudder and tread low.”
Seeing her gloomy expression, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but remind her, "Sister Lan, please don't cause trouble. Your foundation is not stable now and you have many complicated matters. Don't interfere in other people's affairs."
"I know." Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, "I don't know the reasons for other people's affairs, and I can't empathize with them, so I won't interfere at will. Yuqie, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
"That's good." Zhuge Yu felt relieved and was about to say something else when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Master Fang, there is someone outside the residence asking to see you." The clerk in the residence came towards the two of them and said in a hurry: "I apologize for disturbing you two adults. It's just that Vice General Cao in Master Fang's residence has been here for a long time and has been standing there. Outside the mansion, Master Fang refused to leave until I saw him. However, the government has rules and military officers cannot enter without being summoned. I had no choice but to come and let Master Fang make a decision."
"Old Cao, what is he doing here?" Fang Zilan frowned, and Zhuge Yuyun said calmly: "Master Fang, did you send Deputy General Cao to do something today? He must be here to return his orders."
"That's not right." Fang Zilan's expression darkened a bit, "I did order him to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to do something, but my order is to go back to the house directly and wait for orders. If nothing happens, he won't come to me."
After she said that, she looked at Mr. Clerk and said, "Sir, please go and bring him in."
Mr. Secretary took the order and left. Pei Xiaoze heard the commotion and came over and asked with concern, "Master Fang, what happened?"
"It's nothing." Fang Zilan calmed down, "It's just that the deputy general I sent to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing today is looking for me."
Zhuge Yu asked: "What is Vice General Cao doing?"
"All people serving in the capital are under the control of Master Wei. If Lao Cao wants to enter my house, he needs Master Wei's consent. I want him to go to Master Wei to ask for documents." Fang Zilan explained briefly.
Pei Xiaoze nodded and said, "It seems that Deputy General Cao got the documents and returned to Master Fang."
"I don't think so." Zhuge Yu's expression darkened a bit, "Master Wei will not let him go easily without His Majesty's approval."
"Let's hear what Lao Cao has to say." Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "If Master Wei refuses to let him go, I will go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to tell him personally."
However, after the clerk brought the person in, Fang Zilan couldn't help but look a little more solemn when she saw the person coming, and her voice also became a little deeper. She said calmly and confidently: "Your Excellency is so brave, you dare to pretend to be my deputy general to see me. , I wonder what you want?"
As soon as she said this, Pei Xiaoze looked alert, and Zhuge Yu also looked at the visitor unabashedly. The military uniform is indeed that of the Chinese army, but he is still young and has a handsome face. It is obvious that he is not the deputy general Cao who has been following Fang Zilan.
Hearing this, the person who came had a look of embarrassment on his face. He hunched his neck and plucked up the courage to say, "Are you Lord Fang? I am Wei Wei from Lord Wei's camp. I used to be under the command of Deputy General Cao."
"Your surname is Wei, but you have worked under Deputy General Cao?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder and her voice was as cold as ice. Wei Wei shivered in fright and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, although my surname is Wei, I am not a personal soldier of Mr. Wei. .”
Fang Zilan calmed down and said coldly: "Did General Cao ask you to come to me?"
Wei Wei nodded sharply, but then shook his head suddenly as if he remembered something, "Vice-General Cao was detained by Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei asked me to inform you that if you want Vice-General Cao to come to your residence, please do so." You go and ask Mr. Wei personally."
"What does it mean to detain someone?" Fang Zilan frowned coldly, with a gloomy expression, "Old Cao is a deputy general with an official rank. Why do you, Lord Wei, detain someone?"
"This..." Wei Wei hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Pei Xiaoze on the side shook his head and said: "Master Fang has returned to Beijing not long ago, so I'm afraid he still doesn't know Master Wei's temperament. Master Wei has always been unpredictable and unpredictable, and he is used to doing whatever he wants. Not to mention detaining Deputy General Cao without a reason, even if it is military law Once it’s dealt with, I’m afraid no one will dare to comment.”
Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "In the capital, in front of the emperor, there are still people who can do whatever they want. I would like to see it. So, Master Wei is here for me?"
Wei Wei did not dare to answer. Zhuge Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Zilan. His expression was rare and serious, "Master Fang, please don't be impulsive."
Fang Zilan was unmoved at all. Instead of being angry, she smiled and said, "Since Mr. Wei is here for me, why doesn't it matter if I go with you?"
"Master Fang..." Zhuge Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan in a deep voice, "A Yu, please come to the palace no matter what, and help me ask for His Majesty's order to ask Master Wei for someone. Pei Sir, you stay in the government office and take charge of the overall situation for me, I will come back as soon as I go."
Zhuge Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
Pei Xiaoze looked at Fang Zilan worriedly, "Master Fang, be careful in everything."
Fang Zilan nodded, indicating that they didn't need to worry, and then left the government office with Wei Wei and rode straight to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
She rode the horse very fast, and Wei Wei barely chased behind her. After she had already broken into the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Wei Wei ran after her panting.
Because she had come to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to order troops before when she went to the northern border, and her lesson to the two lieutenants Li and Cao left a deep impression on everyone in the camp, so no one in the camp dared to stop her and let her go on her own. When they arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent, they opened the curtain and entered without notice.
The man leaning on the main seat in the tent is wearing a navy robe, with long black satin-like hair that is half tied behind his head and half loose. His skin is as fair as porcelain, his eyebrows are slender and beautiful, his nose is high, his lips are red, and his appearance is... Extraordinarily handsome.
Fang Zilan stared blankly at the man in front of her, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
