"Okay." Li Shengxuan said slowly, "What I want to ask about is not the past, but the future."
The future? Fang Zilan was stunned for a while and then said: "Let me tell you something."
Li Shengxuan hummed and listened to her: "When I was studying, I particularly admired a general in the book. This general became a captain at the age of eighteen. He galloped on the battlefield and made great achievements. It's a pity that God is jealous of the talented man who will not live forever. He is only 2 years old. He died of illness at the age of twenty-four.”
She paused, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued: "This general's uncle is also an extremely heroic general, but it turns out that I never had any feelings for him when I was studying, but who can Now I admire him even more."
"Why?" Li Shengxuan asked, and Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world. Everyone in the world thinks this is about beauties, but they forget that the same is true for famous generals. Young generals are brave and good at fighting in bright clothes. Ma was young and energetic, and had never experienced any turmoil in the world's human heart or family. He remained an upright and good man until his death, as if he was a light without any shadow."
Li Shengxuan understood what she meant and sighed, "But behind the light, there is always a shadow."
"Yes, a person who is so proud that he is almost domineering will eventually be consumed by the world if he does not die young." Fang Zilan's voice became a little darker, "Since I was favored by God and did not die on the battlefield, I can't envy such a young man. Lang. But if he is like his uncle, standing upright and holding on to the lintel of the front door, I think it will be difficult for him to do it."
Hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Li Shengxuan's eyes, and he said: "Is this the real reason why you want Cao Hong to serve as the general of the government, and you don't have generals or soldiers?"
Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said: "If someone follows me sincerely, but I can't even save their property and life, wouldn't it be a betrayal? I can be the sharpest sword in the world to shock everyone, or I can be a target for a poor family in the eyes of aristocratic families. , but no matter which one it is, it is a danger, and there is no need for others to share it with me."
Li Shengxuan calmed his expression and said solemnly: "What if I said, I am willing to share the burden with you and keep you safe for the rest of your life?"
"I believe your words and the meaning of your words." Fang Zilan said quietly: "But things are unpredictable. Maybe one day I will become a chess piece that you have to abandon. If that happens, I can still protect myself. , you don’t have to embarrass me.”
The smile between the woman's brows and eyes grew brighter, "This is not your fault, my lord. The grandson of Huyan Khan, the son of Mingyue Lusail in the Desert, and the Wolf King of the North, your people have been waiting for you for a long time."
Qi Yuming listened to the woman indifferently and silenced Shangguan Min before he could refute.
He flicked his sleeves slowly and said in a voice as smooth as jade, "Lucia, I never said that I would hand over Shangguan Min to you."
"Oh?" Lucia raised her eyebrows slightly, her slightly angry and charming look, "Then what is Mr. Qi here for?"
"Warning." Qi Yuming was unmoved at all, "The wolf-killing barbarian woman that Mr. Fang mentioned is you, right?"
"Master Qi knows this, why don't you hand me over to her?" There was a hint of teasing in Luciya's tone. She lowered her voice and leaned into Qi Yuming's ear. She breathed softly and said, "Is it because you can't bear to part with me?"
"Reluctant?" Qi Yuming still stood upright, but the sarcasm in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
Lucia took it upon herself to stand back, and looked at Shangguan Min who was struggling to break free of the sealing cloth, "Your Majesty, I'd better save some energy. When we get to our territory, I will release you from your hands." .”
"Is this your plan?" Qi Yuming followed Lu Siya's gaze and looked at Shangguan Min, "Drive out the wolves and slaughter all the Shangguan clan in the army, forcing Shangguan Min to cause a big fuss and have no place to stay. You can push him back to the north." Xinjiang Desert, will you be your wolf king?"
Lucia didn't answer, and Qi Yuming continued, "It's a pity that you shouldn't let me be the evil person who forces him."
"Except Master Qi, I really can't think of any other candidate who can not only speak in front of that woman Fang Zilan, but also stand up to protect Sanyuan Village." Lucia's expression was more lazy, like a bird sitting in the garden. Xunbu's cat said, "What's more, as long as Mr. Qi knows, he will definitely take care of it."
"You know me well." Qi Yuming smiled slightly, his unabashed look making Shangguan Min quiet down.
He just feels confused now and somewhat unclear about the situation.
He secretly followed Qi Yuming into Sanyuan Village before, hoping to see who Qi Yuming was colluding with in Sanyuan Village. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Qi Yuming. He couldn't defeat Qi Yuming and was caught by this woman named Lucia. .
Lucia claimed to be Lusel's sister, that is, his aunt.
Her constant talk of being the crown prince annoys him, but from her conversation with Qi Yuming, he also knew that it was indeed her who killed Shangguan Mian.
However, they have been talking for so long, and it sounds like Qi Yuming and Lucia just know each other, and he was not aware of what Lucia did before?
"Then how do you think I will take care of it?" Qi Yuming ignored Shangguan Min's reaction. Lucia blinked her eyes in embarrassment, "Master Qi, you won't just watch us establish the new Wolf King, so I I guess you want to take Guan Min back with you?"
Qi Yuming did not answer, but his expression acquiesced to Lucia's statement.
Seeing this, Lucia chuckled, "What should I do? I must take my sister's son back today. Master Qi, I'm sorry."
Lusiya suddenly got angry. Shangguanmin could only hear the crisp sound of metal colliding in the electric light. When he saw it clearly, Qi Yuming was already several feet away. His body reacted so quickly that it seemed that only Fang Zilan he had ever seen. Can be longer or shorter with one.
Shangguan Min couldn't help but sigh to himself. Fortunately, Qi Yuming had some room for discretion. Otherwise, he would have died in his hands many times if he had been fooling around like this.
"I don't know whether to live or die." Qi Yuming landed gracefully, his sleeves hanging down like butterflies fluttering. There was obvious ridicule and disdain in his cold appearance, "Who is Fang Zilan? People who can slaughter the Gilded City, do you think you will treat the three of them? Yuancun is being kind?"
"Such a Rakshasa hag is not a bandit gentleman like Mr. Qi. I don't expect her to be kind." Lucia smiled, but her hands kept moving. In the blink of an eye, the knife was approaching Qi Yuming, "All I want is time. When the prince and I leave the desert, she will be unable to kill her even if she wants to."
Qi Yuming raised his sword to block her attack, "Regardless of whether Shangguan Min is willing to leave with you, how long do you think those wolves can hold off?"
