Zhuge Yu held the imperial edict and stood in the center of the tent, his expression as cold and hard as Fang Zilan had ever seen.
He looked straight at the people on the main seat without squinting, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Wei, where is Vice General Cao now?"
Only then did Fang Zilan notice that it was completely different from Zhuge Yu's unkind approach. The man opposite him deliberately restrained his aura, and the pressure dissipated, replaced by a flash of surprise.
Fang Zilan's intuition told her that the man's change did not come from the imperial edict, but from the person who delivered the edict.
But at this moment, she had no time to care about his relationship with Zhuge Yu. She only focused on Lieutenant General Cao and didn't think too much about it.
It wasn't until he asked someone to bring Deputy General Cao up and saw him unharmed that she felt completely relieved.
Zhuge Yu walked up to the man with the imperial edict in hand, leaned over and placed the edict on the table, then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty's edict is here, what else does Master Wei have to say?"
The man seemed not to have heard what he said and asked uncertainly: "Are you from the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yu?"
"Yes." Zhuge Yu responded, still looking businesslike and indifferent, "In addition to Vice General Cao, the soldiers from Lord Fang's residence were also taken away from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. As for the regulations, Lord Wei knows what to do. .”
As soon as Zhuge Yu finished speaking, he heard him laugh deeply, "You actually helped Mr. Fang and requested an order from me to ask for someone. It's interesting."
He still ignored his response, which made Zhuge Yu's face darken, and he said coldly: "Wei Subaru, I don't have the good temper like my elder brother, and I don't have the patience. Forget about the polite chatting. Once you have received the imperial edict, I will Go back and resume your life."
Fang Zilan looked at Zhuge Yu blankly, his eyes filled with a hint of imperceptible hostility, revealing an unprecedented level of suppressed anger.
Wei Subaru raised his eyebrows slightly and said half-heartedly, "Okay."
He took the imperial edict on the case and glanced at it casually, "Just pick whoever Mr. Fang wants. Once you have chosen, Wei Wei can register him. I still have official duties, so I won't accompany you." After that, he He threw the imperial edict on the table, stood up and left.
After Wei Subaru left, Zhuge Yu turned around and left. Fang Zilan couldn't figure out his thoughts, but she could feel that he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
So she immediately asked Vice General Cao to stay and choose someone, while she chased Zhuge Yu's back out of the tent, "A Yu, wait for me!"
Zhuge Yu stopped, but did not look back. He said in an indifferent tone: "Sister Lan, I want to return my message to Your Majesty. Let's take a step forward and say goodbye."
He had never been rude before, mixed with a little impatience, which made Fang Zilan hesitate to step forward to ask the reason.
She stood there, watching his figure fading away. She felt like she had done something wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She searched repeatedly in her mind, but could not find any rumors about Wei Subaru's feud with the Zhuge family. On the contrary, everyone in the capital knew that Wei Subaru had a good personal relationship with Zhuge Yu's eldest brother, Zhuge Ming.
Thinking again about what Zhuge Yu said just now, he said that he did not have as good a temper as Zhuge Ming. Could it be that the person who was at odds with Wei Subaru was not the Zhuge family, but Zhuge Yu alone?
But with Zhuge Yu's arrogant temperament, how could he turn against a man like Wei Subaru who defended the border and conquered the battlefield?
"Boss!" Vice General Cao's voice suddenly sounded behind Fang Zilan, and she turned her head as if waking up from a dream, "Have you selected everyone?"
"You've chosen..." Vice General Cao nodded, and Fang Zilan frowned as he hesitated to speak, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Boss, why did you drag Mr. Zhuge here? He..." Deputy General Cao hesitated and did not continue. Fang Zilan calmed down and said, "That's it. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it back home."
Afterwards, Fang Zilan returned to Fuya Dianmao. Pei Xiaoze was relieved to see that she was fine. He observed her words and did not ask any more questions, but just chatted about some official matters.
It was not until it was getting late that all the government officials, large and small, had finished their official duties, and Pei Xiaoze and Fang Zilan also said goodbye and returned to the house. Only then did she pack up her documents and go back with Deputy General Cao who was waiting outside the house to pick her up.
After the two returned home, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw Awan serving dishes and setting up the dishes. Seeing that she and Deputy General Cao were back, she hurriedly greeted them to sit down and have dinner.
Vice Admiral Cao hesitated and refused to sit down, but A Wan forced him to sit down, "I never saw you talking about these rules before, why are you so polite now?"
"You're not polite..." Vice General Cao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "What do you want to say to me at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing today?"
Hearing this, A Wan ordered all the servants on the side to get down with a hint of awe, and everyone in the courtyard also rushed outside the courtyard. After making sure that no one was around, he sat back down.
For a moment, there were only the three of them in the room, and it was quiet and quiet with the faint sound of candles burning.
Vice General Cao took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say, "What I want to say is that Mr. Wei and the Zhuge family have old grudges. Boss, you should never drag Mr. Zhuge to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing today."
Fang Zilan was stunned, and Awan was also surprised, "What old grudge? Camp on the outskirts of Beijing, are you talking about Master Wei Subaru? I heard that he has a good relationship with the eldest son Zhuge Ming."
Vice General Cao sighed and spoke slowly: "Only some old people in the camp know about this matter. Master Wei's methods are extraordinary, so the people below him must be tight-lipped. The Zhuge family has a strict upbringing, so this matter is also well hidden."
He paused as he spoke, "But since I'm with the boss, I have to tell you everything I know, and it doesn't hurt to tell the boss. This matter is related to the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family, that is, Zhuge Yu's sister, Zhuge Shan Miss."
"I know Miss Zhugeshan." Awan couldn't help but interjected: "She was originally raised in Jiang'an's hometown with Mr. Zhuge Yu, but she died of illness a few years ago. It's a shame that she was so beautiful."
Fang Zilan looked at Vice Admiral Cao, who was as silent as the sea, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that Miss Zhugeshan's death is related to Master Wei?"
Vice Admiral Cao nodded, and Awan's eyes widened in shock, "How is that possible?"
Fang Zilan coughed lightly to signal Awan not to talk too much, and then she patiently stopped talking.
"Jiang'an is close to the Miluo Kingdom. The Miluo people are martial and restless. When the late emperor was still there, it was common for Dajing and Miluo to fight, and the commander at that time was Mr. Wei." Vice General Cao took a sip of tea and continued. "Master Wei took us to station in the Jiang'an area. One day, for some reason, people from the Zhuge family came to the door and said that Miss Zhuge Shan got lost during the military turmoil a few days ago, and she has never been found." "
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Miss Zhugeshan is lost. Why did the Zhuge family come to the military camp to look for her?"
