"I have seen Zheng Yan's strength." Fang Zilan looked arrogant and her tone was unquestionable, "He will not lose."
Wei Subaru let out a smile and said teasingly: "Master Fang seems to be looking down on the soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."
Fang Zilan didn't speak, just stared at the few people fighting together. A military competition is not a dangerous thing, but now that it involves the future of face, several people are trying their best, as if they will not stop fighting.
The sound of swords and swords fighting was endless, and dozens of moves had passed in the blink of an eye, but the outcome was still hard to determine. At this moment, there was a roar, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
Facing the unexpected situation, several people who were facing Zheng Yan were involuntarily distracted. Zheng Yan took advantage of this opportunity and picked off one person's weapon in the flash of lightning.
However, the person on the other side quickly recovered and stabbed Zheng Yan in the arm. Zheng Yan was in pain, and the knife in his hand shook, but he still used all his strength to cut the man who dropped the weapon.
A soldier came over with a bamboo hat. Fang Zilan and Wei Subaru put on their bamboo hats and still stood there watching the battle.
The person who was stabbed by Zheng Yan is already out, and there are two more.
The sky was dark, the rain was pouring, and the visibility was not very good. The three of them almost relied on instinct to dodge, and they were all embarrassed for a moment.
Zheng Yan's whole body was soaked by the rain, but his expression remained unchanged and he held the knife in front of him, quite prepared for the situation.
His opponent, on the other hand, was breathing heavily and was obviously a little out of his depth.
"Zheng Yan, you are a waste." One of them spat violently, shouting this sentence as if to cheer up.
Zheng Yan was not irritated at all, and took his time to show off his moves. In the end, he pointed the blade of one hand directly at one person's face, and the sword he snatched with the other hand was placed on the side of the other person's neck.
The winner was decided, Fang Zilan stepped forward and said softly: "Since you have lost, then apologize, and you must not speak rudely to him in this life."
The losers had pale faces and hesitated for a long time. They apologized to Zheng Yan one by one, and then left angrily.
Wei Subaru always watched with cold eyes and said nothing. It wasn't until Fang Zilan and Zheng Yan were about to leave that he said, "Master Fang, you forgot to take your people with you."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan glanced at Shangguan Min who appeared in the corner and saw that he was covered in rain and seemed to have been standing there for a long time.
"Let's go." Fang Zilan looked indifferent. Zheng Yan understood and waved Shangguan Min over, and the three of them hurried back to the house.
Mo Han and A Wan, who were waiting in the front hall, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the three people coming back. Awan couldn't help but drag Fang Zilan back to the house to change clothes and drink medicine. As she walked, she muttered, "When it's warm and then cold, it's terrible to get caught in the rain. It would be terrible if you have a fever."
Xiao Xuan'er and Cong Rong brought ginger soup to Shangguan Min and Zheng Yan. After drinking it, they went back to change clothes.
However, Shangguan Min followed Zheng Yan back to his room. He didn't react. He just took his own clothes and put them on for Shangguan Min.
"Do you have something to ask me?" Although it was a question, Zheng Yan's tone was very affirmative.
Shangguan Min nodded, but didn't know how to speak.
Zheng Yan said expressionlessly: "When I was young, I injured a young soldier because of an argument. Later, my father was seriously injured by the young soldier and he passed away soon after. Since then, I have been a young soldier. I am silent and taciturn. Most people in the army call me useless, but I don't care. After all, I don't know what else my fighting spirit will cost me. In this case, I just have to be patient."
Shangguan Min had never heard him say so many words before and was a little dazed, "Then today..."
"I think Mr. Fang acted like this after knowing those past events." Zheng Yan's face relaxed a little, "She is not only clearing my name, but also supporting me."
"Really?" Shangguan Min lowered his head, but heard Zheng Yan say: "She also wants me to do it for you."
Shangguan Min raised his head and said blankly: "What?"
"Shangguan Min, don't admit it." Zheng Yan looked determined and said categorically: "I have heard about you. What happened after you rebelled against me? What about the blood of the Wolf King? Those are not important. What is important is what you did and who you are. What to do.”
He paused as he spoke, "I never thought about this before, and I kept to myself. It wasn't until I became Lord Fang's general that she valued me and relied on me in everything, that I understood.
Shangguan Min pursed his lips and listened to Zheng Yan continue to speak, "Many things in the world can be avoided for a while, but not for a lifetime. This is a world where the weak is bullied and the strong is afraid. If I tolerate it in every possible way, it will only make people feel weak and bullyable. Since In this case, it is better to be the toughest person so that they know who is wrong."
After he finished speaking, he patted Shangguan Min on the shoulder, then turned around and walked out, standing under the eaves. The rain curtain in front of him was heavy and opaque, but it could not block his clear eyes.

On the fourth day after Fang Zilan returned home from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the holy driver arrived in Beijing.
When she heard the news, Fang Zilan was drinking medicine in a daze. She had traveled day and night to get back, and because of the rain and cold, she felt groggy and lacked energy for several days.
"It's so fast." Awan was surprised, and Fang Zilan yawned, "I guess I'm worried..." Before she could finish her words, she yawned again.
"Are you worried?" Mo Han said thoughtfully: "Sister Lan, the second day after you set off from Tiancheng Mountain, the holy driver left for Beijing. I don't know what your majesty is worried about, but it is the Wei family and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. ,still you."
"Who knows?" Fang Zilan supported his head and said casually: "Anyway, everything has been resolved. I just don't know how your majesty will deal with Wei Changtai."
"Sister Lan will know about it tomorrow morning." Mo Han placed the imperial order in front of Fang Zilan, "His Majesty announces your entry into the court."
Fang Zilan stared at Yu Ling for a long time, then felt her eyes go straight, so she simply went back to sleep to rest her mind.
The next day, Fang Zilan was pulled out of bed by Awan early in the morning. After washing, she ate a few bites of breakfast and went to court.
In the main hall, after everyone saluted, Fang Zilan lowered her head and prepared to take a nap. However, Wei Subaru sent someone to carry the head and skin of Wei Changtai's confidant. The whole hall screamed and she woke up immediately.
Most of the people present had never seen such a situation, and many people immediately covered their faces with their sleeves and retched.
Li Shengxuan, who was on the high seat, looked gloomy and unclear. He asked Wei Subaru to carry the things out. After that, everyone calmed down and started talking and arguing.
One side believed that Wei Subaru killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and this is how he should treat those who rebel. The other party believed that Wei Subaru was ruthless and would do whatever it took to get him and the Wei family out...
The two parties were arguing fiercely, and for a while there was no result. While listening to the excitement, Fang Zilan saw Li Shengxuan's face darken, and raised his hand to signal Xia Houzhang to ask everyone to retreat.
After everyone dispersed, Li Shengxuan raised his hand and frowned slightly, and told Xia Houzhang: "Go to Baiye Temple."
The two of them appeared in Baiye Temple dressed in casual clothes. Master Liaoyuan was not surprised when he saw them. He invited Li Shengxuan into the tea room while Xia Houzhang stayed outside.
