"Now that I think about it, I care about me." Awan sighed helplessly, "You also said that others are brave, but I think you are the bravest one. Do you know how scared I was just now?"
"Awan can't trust me?" Fang Zilan's tone was full of teasing, which made Awan couldn't help but shake his head, "Why are you showing off? If the assassin hadn't been shocked by the last sword just now, you would have been the one who died. ”
"What do Awan think of that sword?" Fang Zilan was not worried and looked at Awan with a smile. She shrank her body into her cloak and said in a low voice: "It's good, it's really good. A little more is less deadly." One point is insignificant, but he deserves to be the best in the world.”
Fang Zilan knelt down, with a smile on her face, "It's rare for our Awan to praise me so directly. What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that I underestimated you before." Awan turned her head away, not daring to look directly into her eyes, "I heard from Master that the poison on your body was so powerful, and I always thought that it was the poison that made you the best in the world. . Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that if this poison is put on someone else, they may not be the best in the world."
"Awan?" Fang Zilan called her name uncertainly.
She turned her head and looked at Fang Zilan, with a complicated look on her face, "It's not something that can be achieved in a day just by relying on the recovered strength and without any internal strength. It's really amazing to be able to practice to this level."
When she said the last sentence, the expression on her face faded, and was eventually replaced by relief, and a trace of admiration and envy flashed in her eyes.
Fang Zilan was about to say something when she heard Awan's voice again, "This is the first snow in the north this year. It's really different from the capital."
The voice was still as crisp and sweet as a child, but Fang Zilan didn't know why, but she always felt that the Awan in front of her tonight was different from the chirping little girl next to her.
A Wan's deep look made her suddenly understand that everyone in the ghost sect, regardless of age, had a different heaviness than ordinary people.
The stall owner looked like he was selling his stuff, so Fang Zilan took out a piece of silver and put it in his hand.
The stall owner put it away happily, and then spoke again, "Do you two gentlemen know the owner of Jinxi Tower, Huo Sanniang? She was the oiran in Fireworks Alley more than ten years ago, and even Mr. Zhao Jinqian was hers. My benefactor, Master Lu Tang also fell in love with Huo Sanniang at that time."
"But I haven't heard that Huo Sanniang has ever married anyone?" Awan asked while eating wontons. The stall owner cheerfully answered her: "Master Lu Tang really wants to marry Huo Sanniang, but he comes from a well-known family. How could a woman with fireworks be allowed in?"
"Master Lu Tang, his family has been officials for generations. His father is a general under Master Shangguan Jing, and his uncle, Master Lu Zhizhang, is the inspector of Yanzhou. His status is no less than that of Master Zhong Yao."
"But he wanted to marry Huo Sanniang. He even asked an old lady from Shangguan's family to redeem her and her sister's lives, and the two of them joined Shangguan's family as maids."
"However, who would have thought that the son of Shangguan's old lady had forcibly kidnapped Huo Sanniang's sister. Huo Sanniang finally escaped. From then on, she became disheartened and vowed not to marry in her life. She opened Jinxi Tower and started a prosperous business. The water rises."
The stall owner said very sadly, but Fang Zilan listened with great interest, "You said that Lu Tang likes Huo Sanniang, so why doesn't he redeem her life himself? If he redeems Huo Sanniang and his sister himself, how can he cause trouble later? This disaster?"
"This..." The stall owner was speechless for a moment.
Fang Zilan continued talking to herself, "Besides, with the power of the official family, how could Huo Sanniang escape and open Jinxi Tower on her own? I think Lu Tang was helping behind the scenes. For the sake of the family, Otherwise, how can you call it a love story if you can't step forward when a person needs it most and only make up for it afterwards? To Lu Tang, this was just a romantic affair in his youth, but to Huo Sanniang, it was a lifelong affair. scars."
"My guest, your words are wrong." The stall owner shook his head in disapproval, "Master Lu Tang had no choice but to do it, otherwise, what man can watch his beloved woman being bullied?"
"No one knows the pain until the knife hits them." Fang Zilan slowly took a bite of the wonton, "Once you know it hurts, you will shrink back. No matter men or women, they are all selfish."
The stall owner was amazed, "This is the first time in so many years that I have heard someone talk about Mr. Lu Tang like that. It's really new."
"Fresh is fresh. I haven't said anything today." Fang Zilan raised her head and glanced at the stall owner. The stall owner nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the wontons at the stall are said to be fresh by all the guests who have eaten them. Please treat me two guests." Use it slowly and don’t disturb the little one.”
"You are quite clever." Awan took a sip of the soup and lazily put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Bring me another bowl of wontons."
"Okay." The stall owner agreed, turned around and went to the stove to cook wontons.
Awan looked at the back of the stall owner and smacked her lips with lingering thoughts, "Do you think that if Zhong Yao captures Huo Sanniang, Lu Tang will come to us to save Huo Sanniang?"
"Not only for Huo Sanniang, but also for himself." Fang Zilan took a spoon and stirred the wonton soup in the bowl. The clear soup became turbid under the influence of external forces, "Huo Sanniang's shady business, Who do you think is supporting her behind her back? The water is muddy and no one can clean it."
Awan looked hesitant, and even lowered her voice a bit, "But I remember the young master said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and no one is really clean."
Fang Zilan stopped, threw the spoon into the bowl, and said in a cold voice: "No matter how unclean they are, if they all come after me and do some dirty tricks to me, I will just go back. But in order to deal with them, I have harmed the lives of many unrelated people, and since they have forgotten the dignity of a wealthy family, I will not be merciful and allow them to do harm."
Seeing that Fang Zilan had murderous intentions, Awan couldn't help but tugged on her sleeves and said softly: "Okay, I know that although our hands are not clean, who doesn't want to be a good person anymore? Let's talk after eating. .”
Fang Zilan sighed quietly, "Awan, what do you think is clean? Things in this world are never black and white, and most of them are beyond your control."
"I understand what you are saying." Awan looked at the chopped green onion floating on top of the soup in the bowl, "It's like this bowl of wontons. If you don't taste it yourself, you won't know how the wontons underneath the soup are, but the chopped green onions that can be used to decorate the facade are. You can see it at a glance, even if you don’t eat it, you still have to put it on the surface to look good. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Isn’t this just like the green onion on the soup, for the sake of appearance and appearance?”
