Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhuge Yu's voice came from outside the tent, "The imperial edict has arrived."
Fang Zilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the man laughed out loud, "Master Fang, I thought you had so much ability to ask me for someone, but it turns out you were just relying on His Majesty's power to bully me."
Fang Zilan watched Zhuge Yu's figure appear in the tent intently, then turned her eyes to him, and said clearly and calmly every word: "I rely on your majesty's power, but it can't be regarded as deceiving. Today I tell your majesty I just want to tell Mr. Wei that there are not many people in this world who can truly do whatever they want."
Zhuge Yu held the imperial edict and stood in the center of the tent, his expression as cold and hard as Fang Zilan had ever seen.
He looked straight at the people on the main seat without squinting, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Wei, where is Vice General Cao now?"
Only then did Fang Zilan notice that it was completely different from Zhuge Yu's unkind approach. The man opposite him deliberately restrained his aura, and the pressure dissipated, replaced by a flash of surprise.
Fang Zilan's intuition told her that the man's change did not come from the imperial edict, but from the person who delivered the edict.
But at this moment, she had no time to care about his relationship with Zhuge Yu. She only focused on Lieutenant General Cao and didn't think too much about it.
It wasn't until he asked someone to bring Deputy General Cao up and saw him unharmed that she felt completely relieved.
Zhuge Yu walked up to the man with the imperial edict in hand, leaned over and placed the edict on the table, then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty's edict is here, what else does Master Wei have to say?"
The man seemed not to have heard what he said and asked uncertainly: "Are you from the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yu?"
"Yes." Zhuge Yu responded, still looking businesslike and indifferent, "In addition to Vice General Cao, the soldiers from Lord Fang's residence were also taken away from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. As for the regulations, Lord Wei knows what to do. .”
As soon as Zhuge Yu finished speaking, he heard him laugh deeply, "You actually helped Mr. Fang and requested an order from me to ask for someone. It's interesting."
He still ignored his response, which made Zhuge Yu's face darken, and he said coldly: "Wei Subaru, I don't have the good temper like my elder brother, and I don't have the patience. Forget about the polite chatting. Once you have received the imperial edict, I will Go back and resume your life."
Fang Zilan looked at Zhuge Yu blankly, his eyes filled with a hint of imperceptible hostility, revealing an unprecedented level of suppressed anger.
Wei Subaru raised his eyebrows slightly and said half-heartedly, "Okay."
He took the imperial edict on the case and glanced at it casually, "Just pick whoever Mr. Fang wants. Once you have chosen, Wei Wei can register him. I still have official duties, so I won't accompany you." After that, he He threw the imperial edict on the table, stood up and left.
After Wei Subaru left, Zhuge Yu turned around and left. Fang Zilan couldn't figure out his thoughts, but she could feel that he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
So she immediately asked Vice General Cao to stay and choose someone, while she chased Zhuge Yu's back out of the tent, "A Yu, wait for me!"
Zhuge Yu stopped, but did not look back. He said in an indifferent tone: "Sister Lan, I want to return my message to Your Majesty. Let's take a step forward and say goodbye."
He had never been rude before, mixed with a little impatience, which made Fang Zilan hesitate to step forward to ask the reason.
She stood there, watching his figure fading away. She felt like she had done something wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She searched repeatedly in her mind, but could not find any rumors about Wei Subaru's feud with the Zhuge family. On the contrary, everyone in the capital knew that Wei Subaru had a good personal relationship with Zhuge Yu's eldest brother, Zhuge Ming.
Thinking again about what Zhuge Yu said just now, he said that he did not have as good a temper as Zhuge Ming. Could it be that the person who was at odds with Wei Subaru was not the Zhuge family, but Zhuge Yu alone?
But with Zhuge Yu's arrogant temperament, how could he turn against a man like Wei Subaru who defended the border and conquered the battlefield?
"Boss!" Vice General Cao's voice suddenly sounded behind Fang Zilan, and she turned her head as if waking up from a dream, "Have you selected everyone?"
"Okay..." Vice General Cao hesitated, hesitating to speak, "Boss, why did you drag Mr. Zhuge here? He..."
Fang Zilan calmed down and said, "That's all, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it back home."
"I want a place that belongs to me." Fang Zilan replied without hesitation, but the two people in front of him were startled. King Xiang said with a strange expression: "Is this what you want?"
"Yes, after His Highness ascends the throne, I will come to collect my reward." Fang Zilan looked at the two people, while thinking to herself what she said was wrong, why do they all have this expression? He continued speaking bravely, "Now, I would like to ask Your Highness to tell me what you want me to do."
"Do you know about the late emperor's last edict?" King Xiang said quietly, but Fang Zilan was startled and subconsciously answered, "Your Highness is talking about the last emperor's last edict that passed down the throne to His Highness?"
"Yes, I want you to steal this edict and tell it to the world." King Xiang said this. Fang Zilan only felt confused in her heart. Everyone in the world knew about this edict of the late emperor, why did King Xiang let her steal it now? Come out and tell the world?
"This palace knows what you are thinking. Everyone in the world knows it, but no one has seen it. Anything that has not been seen does not exist." Prince Xiang's voice had a hint of chill, but he solved Fang Zilan's doubts in an instant. .
She couldn't help but ask: "Is this the Queen Mother's condition?"
"You are indeed smart." Prince Xiang's lips curled up slightly, "But regardless of whether it is the Queen Mother's condition or not, this edict must be held in the hands of this palace."
"Your Highness, can you trust me to steal such an important thing?" Fang Zilan smiled slightly, and the smile on Prince Xiang's face grew brighter, "I wouldn't trust you unless I had to."
The smile on Fang Zilan's face froze for a moment. She had expected Prince Xiang's answer, but she didn't expect it to be this one. "Your Highness is gambling with your life and wealth, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
"Not only is this palace gambling, but so are you." King Xiang looked at the person in front of him calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "You claim to be the best in the world, but if you fail, you will be ruined. There is also the risk of losing your life, so your bet in this game is no smaller than ours."
"Since His Highness has already placed the bet on the table, what's the harm in me accompanying His Highness to the end of this game?" Fang Zilan smiled brightly, and the look of determination to win made both of them feel a little more at ease.
A smile escaped from the corners of Prince Xiang's lips, "You are quite confident."
The words were exactly the same, but the previous one was more like a joke, but this time there was a bit more trust in life and death.
