"Xie Chen, I have offended all the Xiahou family." Hongtai raised his eyebrows and said unscrupulously: "That has nothing to do with your surname Xie."
"The Xiahou family may have nothing to do with me." Xie Chen unsheathed his sword, "But Zhaozhao has something to do with me."
"Xie Chen, you are no match for me." Hongtai spat, "I don't mind having another life on my hands, but I don't want to see Xiahou Yunzhao go crazy."
He wanted Xie Chen to retreat when he saw the difficulty, but unexpectedly Xia Houzhang stepped forward and said, "Master, do you think there is no one in my Xiahou family?"
"You?" Hongtai was noncommittal and changed his voice and said: "Li Shengxuan sent you here, so he has a good intention. I just don't know whether his intention is for King Yucheng or for her?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Houzhang's expression change slightly, and he couldn't help but become interested, "If it was for King Yucheng, you should be in the hall right now. If it was for her, you should go after Xiahou Yunzhao. No matter what, you You shouldn’t stay here.”
Xiahou Zhang's face turned pale, Hongtai's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled and said: "Li Shengxuan or the Xiahou family, you can only choose one."
As if someone had exposed the worries in his heart, Xia Houzhang's face turned pale and pale, his lips moved, but he could not make any sound.
Until Xie Chen's voice sounded, "Master Xiahou, you are doing this for official business, and I am doing this for personal reasons."
It’s an obvious point to make, concisely and to the point. Hearing this, Xiahou Zhang gritted his teeth and turned back to the hall.
Hongtai looked at Xia Houzhang's back and laughed to himself, but gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, Li Shengxuan never treated her with any intention."
"You are only fourteen, you still have decades to live, and you will have to live with a wheelchair in the future. Doesn't that matter?" Fang Zilan's voice was cold, but there was a trace of unbearable. Shangguan Wei did not expect her to be so outspoken, and was stunned for a moment. In place.
Shangguan Min stood aside and lowered his head secretly, saying in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "The military doctor just told Aqi."
After a while, everyone heard Shangguan Fei's voice, "Even if my legs are inconvenient and I can't stand up again in this life, it still doesn't matter."
He clenched his fists and straightened his body, "A young man who aims at a thousand miles, how can he be trapped by just one pair of legs?" After saying this, his brows relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Well said!" Vice General Cao said, reaching out and patting Shangguan Fei on the shoulder, "I, a man from Beijing, must be ambitious!"
"Everyone can say nice things." Fang Zilan looked indifferent and unmoved, like a bucket of cold water being poured on her head. Everyone was shocked and focused their attention on her.
"Even if you have ambition, not being able to stand up means difficulty. Things that ordinary people have at their fingertips may not be possible even if you spend ten years working on them. Just take care of yourself."
Everyone was immediately silent. Only a voice suddenly sounded, breaking the peace in the camp. "Master Fang, we have had enough gossip, why don't we talk about business?"
It was Qi Yuming. He looked at the people in the center of the tent coldly, with a rather mocking look.
Fang Zilan was not annoyed and said calmly: "Qi Canjun's words are reasonable. Let the three of you tell me how you met those wolves?"
"We are a team of ten people who were ordered to kill wolves outside Sanyuan Village. Shortly after arriving outside Sanyuan Village this morning, we encountered a pack of wolves. At first, there were not so many of them until..." The person who spoke was Shangguan Min.
He hesitated for a moment and continued, "Until someone was killed by a wolf, the number of wolves increased sharply. At first, I thought it was because the smell of blood was too strong, attracting more wolves, until Aqi told me that he heard the sound of bones. The sound of the whistle made me realize something was wrong, so I used the cloud-piercing arrow to send the message."
"The sound of a bone whistle?" Qi Yuming raised his eyebrows slightly, "Most of the barbarians in the north wear bone whistles. How can you be sure that the bone whistle is a signal to drive away wolves?"
"I told Brother Min." Shangguan Fei said loudly, "We also heard the sound of this bone whistle before when we encountered a pack of wolves. It's exactly the same."
"Before?" Qi Yuming's expression became even colder, "Then why were you all safe and sound until today?"
"Every time before, there were foreigners passing by." Shangguan Fei said as he recalled, "They were all foreigners in Sanyuan Village."
"They are all from Sanyuan Village, and there are no other passers-by?" Fang Zilan felt strange.
Shangguan Fei nodded firmly, "They are all from Sanyuan Village. Before we killed the wolf, we went to Sanyuan Village and asked about the situation door to door. Everyone in the village has seen it all and will not admit it."
"There are hundreds of households in Sanyuan Village, how do you know that you have not admitted your mistake?" Qi Yuming followed closely with something in his words. Shangguan Min snorted dissatisfiedly, "Aqi is famous for his photographic memory. He said he didn't admit his mistake, which means he didn't admit his mistake."
"Shu Zi's words cannot be trusted." Qi Yuming snorted coldly. Shangguan Min was about to argue when he saw Fang Zilan standing in front of him, covering Qi Yuming's sight, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether it is true or false, Sanyuan Village Everyone is suspicious."
"Master Fang, just based on the words of the wolves outside Sanyuan Village and these children, do you believe that there are barbarians with evil intentions to cause trouble?" Qi Yuming responded tit for tat, leaving no room for Fang Zilan.
Fang Zilan didn't care, "Does Qi Canjun think I'm too hasty?"
"Yes." It was just one word, but Qi Yuming said it with certainty.
Fang Zilan's eyes darkened slightly, "If Qi Canjun had really been in the north for several years, heard about the twelve barbarians invading the border of Dajing, and witnessed the Jin people wreaking havoc in the northern desert, he shouldn't have said the word "rash" today. .”
She spoke every word with a solemn and majestic voice that could not be offended. "In the hundreds of years since the previous dynasty, there has never been a day of true peace in the north. Even if the Jin people are destroyed today, who can guarantee that there will be peace in the desert?" Will the barbarian remnants make a comeback?”
"Since I have been ordered to garrison in the Northern Territory, I must protect one side and keep all the families safe. I know very well how many people sacrificed their lives to achieve the situation in the Northern Territory today, so I dare not slack off at all. The tigers and wolves are outside, and the defenders are here. I dare not not think it over. I think Qi Canjun should understand this better than me."
"Although Mr. Fang's words are reasonable, they are too dangerous." Qi Yuming's voice was a little lower. "Given the current prosperity of the capital, there are friends in all directions. The barbarians in the north are not ignorant of current affairs, otherwise Zhong How could your lord ask the emperor for an order to establish Sanyuan Village on their behalf?"
"Qi Canjun believes the people in Sanyuan Village?" Fang Zilan asked with a half-smile, which made Qi Yuming stunned for a moment, "Master Fang doesn't believe it?"
Fang Zilan smiled slightly, with a bit of arrogance in her look, "I always only believe in myself. As for other people, it depends on what they have done, whether they are worthy of my trust or not."
