"It doesn't matter." Master Liaoyuan said warmly: "The tea is cold, I will change it for you."
"Ajun." Fang Ziqin suddenly shouted, picking up the cup on the table and drinking it down eagerly.
It seems as if he is afraid of losing something, and he seems to just feel that this cup of tea has been changed and will no longer be the same cup as before...
Just like them, there is no going back.
"Qin'er, I'm here." Master Liaoyuan watched helplessly as Fang Ziqin put the tea cup back on the table, but still held it tightly and refused to let go, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
"Ajun, will you always be here?" Fang Ziqin was like a drowning person who saw the only hope of saving his life. However, it was too far away, and she couldn't see clearly whether this hope was a straw that could be broken at once, or a driftwood that could hold her ashore.
"Yes." Master Liaoyuan failed to reach out his hand after all, but stopped at the side of the table closer to Fang Ziqin, "Wherever you are, I will be there."
Fang Ziqin lowered his head and looked at the two hands on the table. One crossed the middle, trying to get closer but couldn't get any extravagance. The other was holding on to the cup, not daring to let go, but greedy for the other's warmth. Just like the relationship between them, it is always elusive.
She closed her eyes suddenly, and when she opened them again, she had calmed down a lot, "She knew her life experience."
Master Lioyuan heard Fang Ziqin change the subject, and followed her words and asked: "What is her life experience..."
"I can't say it." Fang Ziqin resolutely interrupted Master Yuan's question, "For the sake of the Fang family, I can't say it."
For the Fang family? There was a little bitterness on Master Liaoyuan's face. Fang Ziqin pursed her lips and rubbed her fingers over the wall of the lamp, "Ajun, I'm sorry."
Master Lioyuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Fang Ziqin said again: "Master Lioyuan, thank you."
After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back. Master Liaoyuan looked at her back, his heart beating wildly and blood seemed to explode all over his body, but his reason told him that he should not chase her out.
Telling the truth was not as difficult as imagined, but for some reason, after Zhuge Yu finished saying this, he felt more and more stuffy in his chest, as if he was drowning, so suffocated that he could hardly breathe.
Li Shengxuan waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite, "How can we say that there is no name, the mountains and rivers are named. The great capital and the country are due to them, and the prosperity and peace are the proof that they remain in this world."
Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily, and after a long time she said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I want to express my gratitude to you." Li Shengxuan bowed and said, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to defend Miluo City for a month, it would have been difficult for Dajing to turn the tide of the war. Thank you very much."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and I dare not accept them." Fang Zilan knelt down on one knee, and Shangguan Min also knelt down with her.
Li Shengxuan reached out to help Fang Zilan, "You are injured, there is no need to be like this, please get up quickly."
Fang Zilan and Shangguan Min stood up. Li Shengxuan's eyes fell on Shangguan Min and asked, "Who is this?"
"Shangguan Min is here to see Your Majesty." Shangguan Min was generous, and Li Shengxuan pondered for a moment: "Are you Shangguan Jing's son, the child left by Shangguan's family?"
"Yes." Shangguan Min nodded, and Li Shengxuan thought thoughtfully, "I didn't expect you to grow so big."
Shangguan Min didn't dare to answer the call, and Fang Zilan was secretly worried. The previous Shangguan family's collusion with the enemy, and the incident in Sanyuan Village, Shangguan Min's life experience could not be concealed at all. Among the memorials of several people in the north, each one was written more clearly than the last -
The only remaining male member of the Shangguan family, the only bloodline of Huyan Khan in the north, and the heir to the Desert Wolf King.
Fortunately, Li Shengxuan didn't say much. After a few pleasantries, Shangguan Min left first.
Fang Zilan felt at ease when she heard Li Shengxuan say: "Our army will be able to regain the lost ground in a few days. After that, should we continue to fight this battle and how will we fight it? I want to hear your thoughts."
"I don't think this battle needs to continue. Your Majesty, this battle can be regarded as a great effort to mobilize the capital. The purpose is to drive out the Miluo people, not to take Miluo into the pocket. Attacking Miluo, our army may not be able to win. Benefits." Fang Zilan said with a serious expression: "The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting."
She paused as she spoke, and then continued: "After regaining the lost territory, our army might as well stand on the border of Miluo and put pressure on it. After all, Miluo is not a monolithic country. The new emperor Mu Churui ascended the throne. The purpose of sending out troops to invade our capital was to establish prestige, but I didn't expect that someone would come knocking on the door. It would definitely cause an uproar in the whole house. Without our troops doing anything, Mu Churui would be forced to take the initiative to attack me. Dajing is suing for peace."
Li Shengxuan's eyes were blazing, "If Miluo seeks peace, who do you think it would be better for me to send to negotiate?"
"Your Majesty has his own considerations. I dare not speak nonsense." Fang Zilan nodded slightly. She would not jump into such an obvious trap in her heart.
"In that case, why don't you and Zhuge Yu take a trip to Miluo?" As soon as Li Shengxuan finished speaking, Fang Zilan sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, can I refuse?"
Li Shengxuan was not annoyed when he heard this, and smiled slightly: "Why do you refuse?"
"Too much limelight is not a good thing." Fang Zilan pretended to be sad and said: "Someone has warned me before, but it's a pity that I didn't listen. Now that I have been in such a life-or-death situation, I have realized it."
Li Shengxuan listened to her nonsense and said with a smile: "I want to listen to the truth."
"The truth is..." Fang Zilan blinked in embarrassment, "I killed Jiang Hanze and injured Mu Chuji. When I go to Miluo, everyone will shout and beat me. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Everyone calls for beating?" Li Shengxuan chuckled, "Fang Zilan, are you the kind of person who just lets you get beaten without fighting back? What's more, even if Miluo people hate you, they dare not speak out."
Fang Zilan's voice was slightly resentful, "Your Majesty knows, but you still have to let me go?"
"You have to do it." The smile on Li Shengxuan's face grew brighter, and he was determined to win: "What I want is the Miluo people's fear of you, and your deterrence to the Miluo people. This will be the most powerful guarantee for negotiations."
Fang Zilan knew she couldn't escape, so she responded dejectedly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will just take your orders."
Li Shengxuan smiled and changed the topic: "General Shen died for his country. Do you know who will be in charge of the Southeast Camp in the future?"
"It's all up to Your Majesty." Fang Zilan's voice was a little muffled, and Li Shengxuan looked at her amusedly, "Fang Zilan, I know that you almost lost your life this time, and it is inevitable that you will feel unfair, but don't think about letting go from now on. Don't do it anymore. My Lord Yue is not so intolerant of things."
