Yao Wu interrupted the general's words with disdain, "It's true that I am a soldier of Dajing, but I am a living person. Originally, I also had close relatives of flesh and blood, but what do I have now? If it weren't for the fact that there are no people in the southeast camp who I care about. , do you think I am willing to come to Jiangnan Camp? Not to mention General Shen, even Zhou Lang, you are not even half as good as him!"
"Yao Wu, you..." The general clenched his fists. As soon as he opened his mouth, Fang Zilan stopped him, "General, did you see that? This is the person you are protecting. Blind indulgence will not win you respect. On the contrary, it will make people think you are weak and can be bullied."
She paused and moved the plum sword in her hand downwards, "In that case, why not let everyone be afraid of you."
Before she finished speaking, Yao Wu screamed repeatedly, and a piece of his flesh was cut out. She snorted in disgust and neatly shook off the blood on her sword, "Today, I will ask you to teach me a lesson."
"What do you mean..." the general murmured, but Fang Zilan ignored him and still looked at Yao Wudao: "As a soldier of the capital, you don't take it as your responsibility to protect the territory, and you don't put the lives of the people first. He is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is not worthy of being a soldier. He colludes with bandits and bandits, ignores his fellow soldiers for profit, and hurts innocent people in order to escape guilt. He is not worthy of being a human being."
Yao Wu's expression froze, and then he seemed to be willing to fight for it, and said angrily: "If you say that to me, then what is it that you have in your hands? As the general of the Jiangnan camp, he knew that his deputy general was colluding with the bandits. He neither dares to punish nor participate, but what kind of general is he just a submissive?"
Fang Zilan was not surprised and just said quietly: "So you would rather collude with the bandits than replace them?"
"What did you say?" Yao Wu didn't expect Fang Zilan to say that at all, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I heard His Majesty say that you came to Jiangnan Camp to perform meritorious service." Fang Zilan held the general's hand tightly and signaled him to calm down, but she still said to Yao Wu, "Since the general of Jiangnan Camp is useless , then it might as well be that you replace him."
She said with a sharper expression, "If I were you, I would join forces with the bandits to kill them all, and stand upright with my military exploits to replace the incompetent general..."
"It's easy for you to say." Yao Wu spat and said, "Do you know who the general you are holding hostage is, and why he became the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan camp?"
"Military merit and background, one or both." Fang Zilan answered quickly, but Yao Wu smiled contemptuously, "Military merit? What military merit does he have? He rushed to the aid of Qiluo City? If he hadn't married into the Dugu family How can your daughter become the commander-in-chief of the first battalion?"
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, and when the general tried to say something to explain, she pinched his throat, making him unable to make any sound, and allowed Yao Wu to continue.
"Whether it was in the past or now, it might be possible to stand up in the army based on military exploits, but it is impossible to become the commander of the first battalion!" Yao Wu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became much louder, "The Duke of Xian Yue is the only The exception is the last exception."
"Exception?" Fang Zilan repeated the word in a low voice, feeling unspeakable sadness in her heart.
Even if Yao Wu is extreme and speaks indiscriminately, she knows very well that this is the case.
The so-called exception means being different from everyone else. She was appointed by Li Shengxuan. From the first day she joined the army, she was the commander-in-chief of the first battalion and the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Others were also dissatisfied, but she proved her strength by winning battle after battle. But now Yao Wu and others have no such opportunity at all.
A soldier with no status and background can only survive for three generations to become a deputy general. This is the highest level. If it weren't for chance, if there were no in-laws to work together, it would be a lifetime that could be seen to the end.
Fang Zilan rested her head with one hand and tapped the table gently with the other, "Ayu is so smart, you might as well make a guess."
"Sister Lan is going to pay for Fang Lihui to leave the Fang family?" Although Zhuge Yu said it as a question, his tone was very determined, "Sister Lan said last night that Fang Lihui was willing to let him go?"
"It doesn't make sense, I can only take a gamble." Fang Zilan reached out and held the tea cup on the table, stroking the smooth porcelain surface with her fingers, "If it's like what A Yu said, Warners is willing to do it for Even if Fang Liren gives up everything, he cannot let Fang Liren be trapped in the Fang family and unable to escape. If the head of the Sassanid family is offended, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Sister Lan, don't you think it's strange?" Zhuge Yu raised his eyebrows, "Fang Liren has been the head of the Fang family for many years. Not only can he not get a penny from the Fang family, but he also has to spend a large amount of money to redeem himself. What is this? reason?"
Fang Zilan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "Ayu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Zhuge Yu said calmly: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have neglected the prime minister and the queen for a long time, and the Fang family's business is not as good as before. Now Fang Lihui is taking the opportunity to make money, and Fang Liren has set up this trap with him, and he is waiting for Sister Lan to do it. This guy has been taken advantage of."
"Maybe the trap is true, but I may not be the one to blame." Fang Zilan said calmly, "Ayu, how is the Fang family's business, in your opinion?"
"The Fang family's business is naturally very good. Although it has not been as powerful as before in recent years, it is still a golden brand in the hearts of the world." Zhuge Yu said cautiously, and Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, "In this case, I can't be taken advantage of. Not only do I have to replace Fang Liren provided money, but also used all the money to buy shares in the Fang family. The decline of the Fang family was due to His Majesty's neglect of the Prime Minister and Queen, but being ignored was a neglect, and His Majesty would not touch them rashly even if their foundation was not stable. What's more, if the Fang family gets another With the support of the upstarts, the situation will be different.”
Zhuge Yu's expression changed slightly, "Sister Lan has decided to go into the troubled waters of the Fang family? Do you know that His Majesty is already suspicious of you, and if you get involved with the Fang family again, His Majesty may not tolerate you."
"It's up to me to decide whether it's related or not?" Fang Zilan smiled mockingly, "My surname is Fang, and I happen to have the same name as the third lady in Prime Minister Fang's house. His Majesty is deeply suspicious that I have something to do with the Fang family. It doesn’t matter, you can’t get rid of it.”
"Since Sister Lan knows, why don't you avoid suspicion?" There was a hint of concern in Zhuge Yu's tone, and Fang Zilan had a smile in her eyes, "A Yu, are you caring about me?"
Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Fang Zilan was still smiling, "Ayu, do you think you are careless and confused? Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is arbitrary. Believe it or not, it all depends on his thoughts. Instead of racking your brains to cater to his wishes, it's better for me to calm down and be at ease. .”
Zhuge Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Well, Sister Lan, you have this kind of personality. You don't cling to others, and you don't add insult to injury. You never care about what others say, you just follow your heart."
