"General Fu, have you ever thought about it?" Fang Zilan curled her lips, but her voice was extremely indifferent, "The third lady of the Fang family and the Zhen family of Qianjinfang are the same person. Otherwise, why would Li Shengxuan bother to ,Marry me?"
She deliberately blurred the timeline. At that time, Li Shengxuan asked to marry her, and Qianjinfang had not yet appeared. But at this time, Fu Congnan had too many doubts and had no time to think about it carefully, so he never noticed these details.
"This is impossible..." Fu Congnan shook his head, but his voice trembled even more, "This is impossible!"
"The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey is cooked." Fang Zilan said, taking a step forward, with the short knife in her hand already pressed against Fu Congnan's coat, "Now that I am useless to Li Shengxuan, I was sold to the Miluo people. I don't know that I am useless to them. General Fu, what will be the outcome?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "them" and watched with satisfaction as the cold sweat dripped from Fu Congnan's head and wet his clothes, "How did you know..."
"I know far more than General Fu imagined." Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "Hand over Fang Lihui, and I can pretend that nothing happened today. Otherwise, when things get serious, what do you want? I’m afraid it won’t be easy to escape intact.”
"You threaten me?" Fu Congnan looked sinister, and Fang Zilan chuckled, "Threaten? Do I need it?"
As she spoke, she twirled the short knife in her hand and cut Fu Congnan's clothes, "General Fu, you don't want me to go with you to find King Yucheng. I think it's because he fell into a trap and was locked up with Fang Lihui." …”
She paused and said, "Of course, the trap that can make Yucheng Capital fall into is probably not only Fang Lihui's, but there are also other people in it. You don't want people to find out..."
"Miss Zhen!" Fu Congnan's voice had a hint of suppressed anger, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I know." Fang Zilan nodded, "I also know that once more people are recruited, I won't be the one who looks ugly. General Fu, you..."
"Fang Lihui is dead..." Fu Congnan gritted his teeth, but then he heard a clang and the secret door was opened from the outside.
What followed was a loud voice, "You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die. There is absolutely no reason for people in our Fang family to die in an unknown way."
It's Fang Zitong.
Fang Zilan looked out the door. Awan looked at the mechanism beside the door with an innocent face, as if "I saw you driving it just now, so I know how to open it". Behind her were Fang Zitong, Zhuge Yu, Pei Xiaoze, and Several other adults I met at the birthday banquet just now.
Fu Congnan's face turned pale and pale. He was about to say something when he saw Fang Zilan was about to cry and threw herself into Fang Zitong's arms. "Second sister, General Fu said...my cousin is dead..."
"Your Majesty does doubt Fang Zilan, but he does not doubt Fang Zilan." Zhuge Yu slowly said: "Fang Zilan is the sword of the empire. As a sword, it should be invincible and cannot be tied to anything. If Mohan is tied to her, Your Majesty will naturally Would question her suitability as a sword.”
He paused as he spoke, "But Your Majesty knows that as long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. So Your Majesty is not doubting Fang Zilan, but whether her weaknesses will become an obstacle to her invincibility. Zhuge Yu dares to guess, this is This is the real reason why His Majesty wants to see Mo Han, isn’t it?”
Li Shengxuan was silent for a moment, then asked without answering: "What if Mo Han is an obstacle?"
"I wonder if your majesty knows how a craftsman can forge a sharp sword?" Zhuge Yu did not answer the question directly. He said quietly: "When a craftsman makes a sword, he first selects materials layer by layer, and then melts them in a furnace to remove impurities. Then he forges them. Hammering and beating repeatedly can only make an iron tool. If you want to make a sharp sword, the last process is also the most important process, which is quenching. If you cannot withstand the test of quenching, you will not be able to make a sharp sword that can cut iron like clay. sword."
He coughed lightly and continued: "Mo Han is to Fang Zilan, just like quenching is to a forged sword. When he dies, that's when the sword comes out. But, at that time..."
Before he could continue, Li Shengxuan said: "It must be an evil sword, killing everyone."
Zhuge Yu nodded slightly, "Everything is too much, and too little is too much. If the sword is forced to take a wrong turn, even if there is a way out, you will still be inferior. I think your Majesty is not willing to break the sword in your hand and give others an opportunity... "
"Zhuge Yu, you have crossed the line." Li Shengxuan interrupted him coldly. He bowed respectfully and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Shengxuan let out a long sigh, "I would like to be her source of confidence, but she would rather risk her own life than tell me. Sometimes I wonder, is it her whom I blame and doubt, or myself?"
Zhuge Yu opened his mouth, but he swallowed his words when he heard them. He listened to Li Shengxuan, as if talking to himself, and said in a low voice: "I blame myself for having an unstable foundation. Some people, some things, I have bad intentions." I am powerless and have no choice. I doubt myself and cannot become a wise king. Even the Xiahou family is disheartened and wants to leave me..."
At the end, he suddenly laughed like a self-mockery, "I'm telling you this, do you think it's funny?"
Zhuge Yu bit his lips tightly, forcing himself not to make any sound. It was as if he had accidentally seen the majestic and ferocious beast in the past, cutting open his belly, breaking through all the fragility, and exposing it in front of him.
But he didn't dare, let alone look at it.
But the ferocious beast did not let him go. "When she said that she had no regrets, I realized that she could say these four simple words easily, but I couldn't say them out."
Do you have a clear conscience? Zhuge Yu chewed on these four words secretly, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. When it comes to achieving the goal, neither Li Shengxuan nor he would be exaggerated to say that they have no regrets. But when it comes to the process, the end justifies the means. Under the rule of success or defeat, if we look closely at the many mistakes that have been covered up, who is really clear about it?
It's not that Li Shengxuan doesn't know, on the contrary, in the supreme position, he understands better than anyone else, but is more stubborn than anyone else. How could he not be a wise king like this?
Zhuge Yu thought about this and said what he thought: "Whether it is true or not, your majesty is a wise king in Zhuge Yu's heart."
He said every word with dignity, "My grandfather once said to me - a king should be among all people, think about the thoughts of all people, and do the things of all people. And the so-called wise king must not only understand the people, but also understand himself. Body. Your Majesty’s words today are well deserved.”
After he finished speaking, he solemnly kowtowed and then turned and left.
