"During that time, Miss Zhugeshan had been in the army. Miluo commander Murong Chen took advantage of Lord Wei to fight with the main force of Miluo and kidnapped Miss Zhugeshan from the camp, trying to use Miss Zhugeshan to blackmail Lord Wei." Deputy Cao said. He stopped halfway, looking a little sad.
Fang Zilan stretched out her hand to take the cup in front of her and took a sip, "Master Wei was not threatened by Murong Chen, right?"
"Yes." Vice General Cao raised his head with a solemn and compassionate expression, "Murong Chen thought that with Miss Zhugeshan in his hands, Lord Wei would be restrained. Even if he didn't care about Miss Zhugeshan's life and death, the Zhuge family would not let him go. in spite of."
"During the battle, Murong Chen confidently used Miss Zhugeshan as a shield and placed it in front of him. Neither Miluo nor we dared to get too close for fear of hurting Miss Zhugeshan." Vice General Cao's voice suddenly trembled, "No one dared to get too close. Unexpectedly, Master Wei pushed her in front of Murong Chen, and his knife penetrated Murong Chen along with her..."
Awan's face was full of surprise and she covered her mouth in disbelief. Fang Zilan's hand holding the cup tightened involuntarily.
Not only that, but Li Shengxuan had told her that King Rong'an had great face. If pirates sneak into his fiefdom and cause trouble, he will appear incompetent if he directly asks the court for help, and he will definitely lose his face.
After all, since Xiahou Yunzhao returned to the capital, he has not killed pirates more than once or twice. Since her killing, there has been no news of the pirates making trouble for more than ten years. It is known that her ruthless methods made the pirates lose their ability to cause trouble.
This makes sense. The Xiahou family left office and stayed in the old land of Baiyue. Her successor, who had no foundation, did not give King Rongan an opportunity to rebel, but gave the sea pirates a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
Seeing her wandering mind, Awan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, "Fang Zilan?"
"I've almost guessed something." Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Deputy General Cao and asked, "Old Cao, do you know who the generals under King Rongan are? Are there any other powerful ones besides Mo Bin?"
Hearing this, Deputy General Cao said helplessly: "Boss, don't tell me. Except for Mo Bin, none of the generals under King Rong'an can resist."
Although Fang Zilan had made a rough guess in her mind and was somewhat mentally prepared, when she heard Deputy General Cao say this answer, she still couldn't help blurting out: "What did you say?"
"This is reasonable." Vice General Cao sighed and explained: "After all, King Rongan's fiefdom is in the southeast, very close to Xiahou's family. With General Xiahou in charge, there is no need for King Rongan to do anything. What's more. What's more, the prince is also a happy man. Most of his generals are noble sons of aristocratic families and have no real abilities. Even Mo Bin, although he was a general who was surrendered by the previous dynasty, he is still someone who has been on the battlefield. It can be used."
"Isn't King Rong'an the brother of Emperor Tai'an?" Awan asked curiously, "Emperor Tai'an was the one who took over the country from Ji's hands. He was very majestic during his lifetime in the army. How could his brother be so peaceful? host?"
"It is precisely because Emperor Tai'an is so powerful that King Rong'an is well protected." The person who answered her was Fang Zilan, and Vice General Cao nodded in agreement: "That's true."
"If A Yu's information is accurate, no wonder the pirates will sneak into Mushan Pass to control Mo Bin." Fang Zilan had a calculation in her heart, but suddenly remembered what Li Shengxuan said - Mo Bin's rebellion must be suppressed.
Moreover, Li Shengxuan also said that there was no need to keep the entire Mo family.
If it is true that the pirates control Mushan Pass and threaten King Rongan to block the news, is Mo Bin collaborating with the pirates to help others, or is he willing to fight to the death?
If it's the latter, I'm afraid Mo Bin is already in serious danger, and the entire Mo family is even more in danger.
She was so confused that she made a decision immediately: "Without further delay, we rushed to the southeast camp overnight."
Vice Admiral Cao was slightly stunned, but seeing Fang Zilan's serious expression, he nodded quickly and said, "I'll go get the horse right away." After that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
"Fang Zilan, I'll go with you." A Wan looked firm, and Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "A Wan..."
Before she finished speaking, her body trembled. Awan quickly held her arm and said in a panic: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm very dizzy." Fang Zilan put her hand on her forehead and moved a few steps with Awan's help to sit at the table. "I'll just sit down and it'll be fine. It's nothing serious."
"Liar." Awan pulled her wrist without any explanation, and carefully checked her pulse for a moment, but her expression changed, "You...are poisoned?"
Awan's unsure tone also surprised Fang Zilan, "What did you say?"
"Your pulse is very strange." Awan frowned and said, "It seems smooth on the surface, but in fact there is something strange. Although you are poisoned, it should never be like this."
"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan was confused, and Awan looked at her intently, "What did you eat and drink this day?"
After a long time, Vice General Cao heard Fang Zilan say: "Did you say that Miss Zhugeshan had been in the army during that time and she had feelings for Master Wei?"
Vice General Cao scratched the back of his head and sighed helplessly.
Fang Zilan whispered: "What about Mr. Wei?"
Vice Admiral Cao was a little confused, "I don't know about this. No one has ever known about Master Wei."
Awan sighed faintly: "It is said that after Murong Chen died, Miluo retreated his troops and did not dare to do it again. But Lord Wei, after returning to the capital, he wandered around the land of fireworks and is still alone to this day."
Fang Zilan was shocked and felt cold all over her body.
As a general, for the whole world, he keeps one place safe, the people are harmonious, and everyone praises him. However, as far as I am concerned, I am in pain all over my body, I am lonely and lonely, and no one knows about it.
"But I still have questions..." Awan said calmly: "If Master Wei really killed Miss Zhugeshan with his own hands, even if the Zhuge family covered up the matter for the sake of her reputation, they would never do it again. I have some dealings with Lord Wei. But why is it spread throughout the capital that Lord Wei and Lord Zhuge Ming have a good personal relationship?"
As soon as she said this, neither Fang Zilan nor Vice Admiral Cao spoke. The room was extremely silent for a moment, as if they could even hear each other's breathing clearly, and the crackling sound of the candlelight seemed almost abrupt.
After a while, Awan heard Fang Zilan's voice. Her low tone sounded a little unreal against the misty dusk, "Miss Zhugeshan's death was her fate. The Zhuge family cannot blame anyone."
She said with a touch of sadness and desolation in every word, "On that road, even if it is the Zhuge family, I am afraid that it will not do better than Lord Wei. To exchange one life for the peace of thousands of people, whether it is Lord Wei or Zhuge Home, there is no other choice.”
