"Master Fang." Wei Subaru's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She looked up at the person holding the glass next to her, took the wine glass casually, and congratulated her from afar, "Mr. Wei, thank you."
Wei Subaru raised his eyebrows and said casually: "Master Fang, Di Rong's Wu family is not only proficient in the art of divination, but also good at controlling people's hearts with voodoo."
"Master Wei said so..." Fang Zilan paused deliberately and said meaningfully: "Do you believe what Princess Erya said?"
"Master Fang, do you believe in fate?" Wei Subaru asked the question without answering. Fang Zilan was silent for a moment and said, "Believe it or not."
Wei Subaru suddenly smiled, and his usually empty light-colored pupils gained some inexplicable sparkle, "Someone has divined for me several times, and the results are always the same. He died under a random knife, and he didn't end well."
Fang Zilan's expression was dull, but Wei Subaru curled his lips and said indifferently: "The life of a soldier is just like this, and it cannot be known by divination. Master Fang, are you right?"
For a moment, Fang Zilan felt like she had a lump in her throat. She couldn't say a single word, but she couldn't utter a rebuttal either. They are all people who kill and fight. During their whole life in the army, if they are not wrapped in horse leather, they will be covered with a handful of loess.
She has heard these four words too many times. What does it matter whether he died under a knife or not?
She had too many worries and could not be as drunk as Wei Subaru, so when she saw these four words, she felt extremely heavy.
Wei Subaru did not insist on asking for answers, but just drank one glass after another.
A warm voice came from Fang Zilan's left side. She subconsciously tightened the horse's reins and looked at the person who walked up to her and seemed to have inadvertently blocked her sight - Zhuge Yu.
"Why is A Yu here?" Fang Zilan asked instead without answering, Zhuge Yu said calmly: "I have the same purpose as Mr. Fang."
Fang Zilan's expression became a little colder. Before she could say anything, she heard Zhuge Yu talking to himself: "Isn't Master Fang here for prey?"
The word "prey" came out of Zhuge Yu's mouth, which was quite a pun. Fang Zilan pretended to be confused and said: "I wonder what kind of prey is so rare that it can get into A Yu's eyes?"
"Master Fang is joking." Zhuge Yu said with great interest, "Compared with my prey, I am more curious about the prey that Master Fang can track all the way."
"Ah Yu knows it well, so there is no need to play riddles with me." Fang Zilan was too lazy to talk in circles with him, so after saying these words, she whipped her horse and headed in the direction of Chen Xu.
However, Zhuge Yu stood in front of her and had no intention of giving way. "Sister Lan, the censor may be biased, but speaking out and giving advice has always been the censor's responsibility. You can't..."
"Since Ayu knows that Yushitai is biased, he should not stop me." Fang Zilan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words in a deep voice, without taking into account his sister Shenglan's affection.
"But if it is left to Sister Lan today, I am afraid that no one will dare to speak out in the future." Zhuge Yu refused to back down and argued with reason: "Rumors will eventually be self-defeating, but those who dare to speak will If it disappears, it will be difficult to have it again. Everyone is in danger and keeps silent. If things go on like this, the atmosphere in the court will be worrying."
"When a good person is gone, it's hard to find him again." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Ayu thinks I want to kill him?"
Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, but he saw Fang Zilan drawing his bow and setting an arrow in one go. The tip of the arrow was cold and pointed directly at Chen Xu, "Then I will kill him for you to see."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu secretly screamed. Listening to Fang Zilan's words, she had no intention of killing Chen Xu. Maybe she was just threatening, but now that he was so provoking, it seemed that she was really going to take action.
"Sister Lan, no!"
"Sister Lan, save someone from the arrow!"
The voices of Zhuge Yu and Mo Han sounded at the same time. The former was in front of Fang Zilan, but he had nothing to do, and the latter hurried from behind Fang Zilan and had no time to dissuade him.
The two of them watched helplessly as the arrow left the string and headed straight towards Chen Xu. The sound of breaking through the air came suddenly, so fast that Chen Xu had no time to react. He only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he screamed and fell off the horse.
The birds in the forest were frightened by the scream and flew away, leaving only branches and leaves trembling. Other people participating in the spring hunt in the forest were attracted by the noise and rushed over.
Fang Zilan held a bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right hand. Although the arrow was not strung, there was an aura of danger waiting in her hand.
Everyone surrounded Fang Zilan and did not dare to step forward. Chen Xu covered his shoulders and climbed up in embarrassment. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw Fang Zilan's arrow pointed at him again. He was so frightened that he fell back and sat down again, his buttocks touching the ground. There was a close contact, and he fell and screamed again.
When Li Shengxuan arrived, he happened to hear Chen Xu's second scream. He looked around briefly and saw that the person had no arms or legs. Not only was he full of energy, but he could also scream with such energy. He thought that Fang Zilan really gave him face.
When several censors onlookers saw Li Shengxuan coming, they asked Fang Zilan before Su Yun could speak first: "Master Yue Guo Gong, what are you doing?"
"I haven't practiced for a long time, so my hands are a bit raw." Fang Zilan said, sheathing the bow and arrow lightly, her expression and tone were so arrogant that it was almost provocative.
"Master Yue Guo Gong, you..." Several censors were stunned and choked by her appearance and were speechless for a long time. On the contrary, Su Yun said: "Your Excellency Yue Guo Gong is a man who fights on the battlefield. This kind of That's a poor excuse."
He exposed Fang Zilan mercilessly, but saw her raise the corners of her lips and smile slightly: "If the world is not peaceful, who would be willing to fight on the battlefield? Mr. Su, are you willing?"
The question was asked directly and coldly. Su Yun pursed his lips, "I..." He didn't dare to answer, but he didn't want to see his colleagues around him suffer in vain. As he spoke, he heard Fang Zilan say word by word:
"It is not my original intention to fight on the battlefield, but it is my ability to be inferior to one person and to be superior to ten thousand people. I cannot be criticized just because I am a woman. In the entire dynasty, civil and military wives and concubines were in groups, and I have never seen any emperor. Shi Shen has played a book, but how come I have more poems than the number of people in the house? I just want to protect the Duke of Yue's house, but it turns out that I have lost my virtue. If I really let others manipulate me and obey, it is virtuous. She won’t be the Fang Zilan she is today.”
Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly. His fierce words and expressions all revealed to everyone——
She is the Duke of Yue in Dajing, and she is also Fang Zilan. She is a living person with everything she defends, and she is definitely not a name in their memorials or rumors.
It would never be possible for her to become the person they imagined she would be, bound by rules, like a prey in this hunting ground.
