"Lord Zhong was born in a commoner family. Why do you think the Shangguan family wants to support you to become the magistrate of this state?" Fang Zilan continued, "Fang Zilan is not talented, so I secretly speculated that the Shangguan family must have taken a fancy to Lord Zhong for his talent in governing the world, and he should serve the people." Do something.”
"If the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Jing, were still here today, how would he feel if he saw Master Zhong being so timid and heard that Master Zhong was shattered to pieces not for the sake of all the people of Yanzhou, but for just one person like me? I'm afraid he will die with his eyes open."
Fang Zilan was so angry that she couldn't help but speak louder, "I, Fang Zilan, think that I am not a gentleman, but I also know that repaying a favor is not the way to repay a favor. If Mr. Zhong really wants to repay a favor, he might as well get well and start governing as soon as possible. .”
"Now that the old and new are changing, all the aristocratic families in the northern border want a share of the pie, not to mention that there are barbarians outside the country who have ulterior motives. Lord Zhong, can you rest assured that you can leave all the affairs of Yanzhou in my hands? If you are not at ease, hurry up and do it. Go ahead and do whatever you want."
"Master Fang, you!" Zhong Yao was so angry that he coughed several times. Huang Fulin hurriedly came up and patted his back to help him calm down. "Master Zhong, there is no need to be angry. Master Fang is just angry for a moment."
"I'm not angry for a while." Fang Zilan looked on coldly, with a look that was less sarcastic and more solemn, "I'm not surprised that Mr. Zhong looks down on me as a prostitute. But today, I, Fang Zilan, guarantee with my life that as long as you Zhong Your Excellency, you will fulfill your duties. As soon as I am in the north, you will be the magistrate of Yanzhou, and no one can covet this position."
Fang Zilan's words were so serious that both Zhong Yao and Huang Fulin were startled. The former did not expect that she would support him with his life, while the latter was given a wake-up call. The so-called coveting was not just for Huang Fulin. Who could you tell it to?
Huangfu Lin said with a smile, "Lord Fang, you are serious. Lord Zhong has had a very high reputation as the magistrate of Yanzhou over the years. Who dares to covet him?"
"No one is the best." Fang Zilan glanced at Huangfulin lightly and sat down on the main seat unceremoniously.
"I came here today, firstly to visit Mr. Zhong, and secondly because there are some matters in the army that I would like to hear Mr. Zhong's opinion on." Fang Zilan looked cold and straight to the point, without any hesitation, "Since General Huangfu is also here, we might as well discuss it together. .”
"Master Fang, if you have anything to do, it's okay to say it." Zhong Yao put his hand on his chest to calm his breathing, and sat on a seat next to him, looking like he was listening attentively.
Huangfulin also sat down, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Zilan.
Fang Zilan calmly took the tea cup on the table, turned it lightly with her fingertips, and slowly said: "I want to ask Qi Yuming, Qi joined the army."
"Qi Canjun?" Zhong Yao was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly, "Qi Canjun's ancestors have been stationed in the north for three generations. He is a rare counselor in the army. What does Master Fang ask him for?"
"Three generations of ancestors?" Fang Zilan repeated these words playfully, and then said coldly: "In other words, Qi Canjun is an old man from the previous dynasty?"
"Qi Shenjun has nothing to do with the previous dynasty, Lord Fang, be careful what you say." Zhong Yao looked quite dissatisfied, Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled innocently, "Whether it has anything to do with it or not, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"What does Mr. Fang want to say?" Zhong Yao frowned, and Fang Zilan raised his eyebrows with a smile, "There are barbarians in Sanyuan Village who are driving wolves with evil intentions, and Qi Canjun wants to guarantee them."
"What?" There was obvious disbelief on Zhong Yao's face, and Huangfulin also frowned, "Master Fang, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"Misunderstanding?" The smile on Fang Zilan's face grew wider, "I also thought it was a misunderstanding, so I came to ask the two adults for help. The two adults have been in the north for so many years, so they know Qi Yuming well. What is his intention in doing this? for what?"
"I dare to ask Lord Fang, is it true or false that there are barbarians driving wolves in Sanyuan Village with evil intentions?" Zhong Yao pondered for a moment and asked very cautiously.
Fang Zilan came prepared and took her time, "Currently, the only people named Shangguan in the military camp are Shangguan Min and Shangguan Mian. The rest have been buried in the belly of the wolf. Lord Zhong, do you think I'm joking?"
The shock was clearly visible in Zhong Yao's eyes. Fang Zilan played with the cup in his hand with a serious expression, "Qi Yuming told me earlier that he came to report to Mr. Zhong. Didn't he tell Mr. Zhong that the Shangguan family he sent to kill the wolf were dead or injured? heavy?"
"What did you say?" Zhong Yao's heartbroken look didn't look like he was faking it, but she seemed not to have seen it, and spoke mercilessly, "Since Shangguan's family has joined the army, they must obey military orders, whether they kill wolves or enemies. It’s all the same. Could it be that Mr. Zhong is hiding his selfish motives?”
"Master Fang, what do you want to say?" Zhong Yao's face was not good-looking, and Fang Zilan still looked indifferent, "I heard that the twelve tribes in the northern desert were attacking, and they used a pack of wolves to clear the way. Now I am convinced Knowing Qi Yuming's status as a former member of the previous dynasty, I will not sit idly by and ignore him."
Zhong Yao snorted coldly, with a rather sarcastic look on his face, "Does Mr. Fang want to destroy Qi Shen's army again on the groundless charge of collaborating with the enemy?"
"Whether it is groundless or not, we have to investigate to find out." Fang Zilan was not annoyed, and his eyes fell on Huangfulin beside him, "General Huangfu, what do you think?"
"This..." Huangfulin looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, "We have to wait for Mr. Fang to find out everything before we discuss it. I don't dare to speak nonsense."
"Since you don't dare to speak nonsense, you might as well do something practical." Fang Zilan changed the topic, "The two daughters of Wang Quanzhi's family have recently made a marriage agreement with the Fang family and the Ouyang family, and they will have a wedding ceremony soon. I am a man in the army. It’s inconvenient to transfer them, General Huangfu will have to worry more about the guards.”
"It's a great joy for a family to get married." Huangfulin looked happy, "Master Fang, don't worry about this trivial matter. It will be taken care of by my Huangfu family. There will be no mistakes in the wedding ceremony."
"Well, thank you." Fang Zilan nodded and stood up, "If you have nothing to do, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, she raised her feet and was about to leave. Zhong Yao hurriedly got up and was about to send her out, but she stopped him, "Mr. Zhong is so lucky. Recuperate, no need to be polite."
Fang Zilan looked at the door and winked at Awan who had been standing at the door. Awan immediately understood and walked in.
"If Mr. Zhong can be trusted, you might as well let the medical girl next to me take a look." Fang Zilan said politely, and Zhong Yao couldn't refuse, so he extended his hand to Awan.
Awan was silent for a moment, then bowed and saluted, "I will speak frankly in front of all your lords. Lord Zhong is only 30 years old, but his body is very wasted. If it continues like this Light the lamp and boil the oil, I'm afraid next time it won't be as simple as just burning your heart."
Zhong Yao had a look on his face, and then he saluted back, "Thank you very much, girl. I'll take note of it."
