"Did I ask her to come?" Fang Zilan thought for a while, then remembered that she had asked Fang Lihui for someone before, and hurriedly said: "Go and invite that girl in."
After the girl came in, Fang Zilan asked the housekeeper to leave first, "Did you make that list in the north?"
"Yes." The girl nodded slightly and didn't say much. She has extremely beautiful eyebrows and a cold temperament, giving her the air of a cold beauty that can only be seen from a distance.
"I saw a name on that list - Zhen Zhu, do you know her?" Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily, "In other words, what is your relationship with Qianjinfang?"
The girl rolled up her sleeves and bowed respectfully, "Xiao Xuan'er of Qianjinfang, I have met Mr. Fang." After saying this, she took out a golden plum blossom and held it between her eyebrows with both hands.
"Sure enough, you are from Qianjinfang." Fang Zilan knew clearly in her heart, "Miss Xiao, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."
Xiao Xuan'er sat calmly opposite Fang Zilan and sighed softly, "It seems that Zhen Zhu is right, Mr. Fang has indeed lost his memory."
Fang Zilan was stunned, "Have we met?"
Xiao Xuan'er said softly: "My surname is Xiao, the mistress of Hidden Sword Villa, and I have been with Miss Mi'er since I was seven years old. In the early years, when Mr. Fang was recuperating from his injuries at Hidden Sword Villa, I was the one who took care of him. "
"Sorry, I really can't remember." Fang Zilan poured a cup of tea and placed it next to Xiao Xuan'er's hand, "I wonder why Miss Xiao entered Wanhua Tower?"
Xiao Xuan'er took the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "There are many people coming and going at Wanhua Tower. Young Master Lihui of the Fang family intended to use it to collect intelligence. After Qianjinfang learned the news, he decided to send his sisters to infiltrate. On the one hand, it was to expand the intelligence, and on the other hand, it was On the one hand, it is to find out about you, Mr. Fang. When Mr. Fang left, there was no news from you, and the young lady and uncle were very worried. "
"In that case, why did Miss Xiao come to my house?" Fang Zilan calmed down, and Xiao Xuan'er turned her back and brought her more tea, "It's what the young lady meant. She and her uncle have special status and cannot appear under the eyes of the ghost sect. But Qianjinfang always needs to contact Master Fang. What’s more, Master Fang needs Qianjinfang’s help, doesn’t he?”
"Help." Fang Zilan repeated the word and said noncommittally, "What can Miss Xiao help me with?"
Xiao Xuan'er didn't answer but asked, "What does Mr. Fang want to know?"
"Is anything possible?" Fang Zilan's eyes darkened. Xiao Xuan'er didn't say anything, so she asked on her own, "Master Yuan is the abbot of Baiye Temple. What is his origin?"
"Master Lioyuan entered the Baiye Temple during the reign of Emperor Xian Ningshun and served as the abbot one year before His Majesty ascended the throne." Xiao Xuan'er said calmly: "Before entering the temple, he was the second son of the Zhuge family - Zhuge Jun."
Fang Zilan's heart tightened, she had guessed it. Zhuge Yu had a strange reaction when he saw the Changming Lantern last night, coupled with the similarity in appearance between Master Yuan and the Zhuge brothers...
It turns out that Master Liaoyuan is actually Zhuge Yu's elder brother, the real second son of the Zhuge family.
"This matter is not a secret in the capital. It's just that many years have passed and no one has mentioned it anymore." Xiao Xuan'er looked at Fang Zilan and asked, "What else does Mr. Fang want to know?"
Fang Zilan pondered for a moment and said: "There is a scar on Master Lioyuan's arm. Do you know where it came from?"
Xiao Xuan'er thought for a moment and said, "Does Master Fang know the real cause of Miss Zhugeshan's death?"
"I know." Fang Zilan nodded, "Is it related to Miss Zhugeshan?"
"It has something to do with that war." Xiao Xuan'er recalled: "Master Zhuge Jun was once the most outstanding young master in the entire capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was high-spirited, wearing bright clothes and angry horses. Moreover, he was the only one in the Zhuge family in this generation. general."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Xuan'er suddenly smiled, "Does Master Fang think that the Zhuge family only knows how to play with words and power?"
Fang Zilan was silent, and Xiao Xuan'er continued: "The head of the Zhuge family, the grandfather of Master Zhuge Jun, was at least a patriarch who founded the country with Emperor Tai'an. Most of his children died on the battlefield, including Master Zhuge Jun's parents - they were born Not long after I left Young Master Zhuge Yu, he died in the northern border."
"Northern Territory?" A look of surprise flashed across Fang Zilan's face, and Xiao Xuan'er said helplessly: "The troubles in the Northern Territory have been continuous since the previous dynasty. If it weren't for the blood and sweat of the predecessors, how could Master Fang slaughter the Gilded City in one day? "
Fang Zilan pursed her lips and heard Xiao Xuan'er's voice turn back, "Master Zhuge Ming is the eldest son of the Zhuge family. He was favored by his parents and did not inherit the mantle of a military commander. Master Zhuge Jun and Miss Zhuge Shan are twins. Their relationship is Very true. As for Mr. Zhuge Yu, because Mrs. Zhuge was injured on the battlefield in the north when she was pregnant, she has been sick since birth."
"Therefore, in this generation of the Zhuge family, there is only a strong and active young master, Zhuge Jun. He followed His Majesty, the original Prince Xiang, to join Xiahou's family to practice martial arts, and gradually became the backbone of the army." She paused as she spoke. "The battle between Dajing and Miluo was close to Zhuge's home in Jiang'an, so Zhuge Jun took the initiative to ask for help and fight with Master Wei."
Fang Zilan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Did the Miluo soldiers split into two groups in that battle and Zhuge Jun didn't have time to save Miss Zhuge Shan, so Master Wei had to kill her with his own hands?"
"Master Fang's guess is good, but it's a pity that it's the other way around. Master Wei didn't have time to save Master Zhuge Jun." Xiao Xuan'er's voice was a little lower, "In that battle, Miluo Murongchen was the commander, and everyone thought he would definitely do it. Carrying heavy troops, who would have thought that the real heavy troops were directed at Master Zhuge Jun. When Murong Chen kidnapped Miss Zhuge Shan, Lord Wei realized that he had been trapped in a trap, but he was unable to rush to the rescue of Master Zhuge Jun, and even Miss Zhuge Shan also He was not saved, but fortunately he killed Murong Chen and weakened the morale of the Miluo army."
"Then Zhuge Jun..." Fang Zilan did not continue, Xiao Xuan'er said in a deep voice: "Master Zhuge Jun fought his way out of the siege, even injured his hand and was not allowed to use force for the rest of his life, but what he heard was the death of Miss Zhuge Shan. He went crazy. He seemed to be about to duel with Master Wei, but was stopped by his grandfather. After nearly collapse, he entered Baiye Temple and became a monk."
Fang Zilan couldn't help but turned her head when she heard this. Xiao Xuan'er sighed quietly: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard that on the day Master Zhuge Jun became a monk, he was seriously injured and could not walk. He rolled and crawled on the ground and struggled out. He went to Zhuge Mansion, and before leaving, he yelled at his grandfather, saying that what he had learned was useless, and asked what was the point of exchanging one person's death for ten thousand lives. The person he cherished was worth more than tens of millions of people..."
"No wonder..." Fang Zilan murmured softly, no wonder Zhuge Yu had such an attitude towards Wei Subaru. In the battle between Dajing and Miluo, he lost not only his sister, but also his brother, but what he gained was the shackles of being the second son of Zhuge, the future head of the family.
"Everyone in the world knew that there was a lunatic in the Zhuge family. Later, Master Zhuge Jun's grandfather removed his name from the family tree, and the matter slowly calmed down." Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes and looked at the tea cup in front of her. , said: "A few years later, an eminent monk named Liao Yuan came out of Baiye Temple. Due to his fame, the original abbot had to give way to him."
Fang Zilan calmed down and stretched out her hand to take the tea cup, but was stopped by Xiao Xuan'er, "Master Fang, the tea is cold, let me change it for you."
"Okay." Fang Zilan watched as Xiao Xuan'er calmly changed a cup of tea for her and placed it in front of her, "I have one more thing that I would like to ask Miss Xiao for advice."
"Master Fang, you don't have to be polite, but it doesn't matter." Xiao Xuan'er's expression was as calm as water. Fang Zilan took a deep breath and said, "I want to know why my mother died. Was it really an accidental distress?"
