"Master Fang must have his own reasons for setting fire to the village. Miss Yan'er may not be in Linjia Village..." As soon as Zhuge Yu's defensive words left his mouth, he was interrupted again by Xiahou Yunzhao, "Not necessarily? Yan'er herself said in the letter I wrote that she is in Linjia Village. Could she lie to me?"
Zhuge Yu remained silent and listened to Xiahou Yunzhao continue, "I know Yan'er's temperament best. If the plague in Linjia Village is not eliminated, she will not leave easily."
"I can't tell if something happened in Linjia Village. Is it possible that Miss Yan'er left?" Su Yun said cautiously. Xiahou Yunzhao did not answer, but stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
She glanced at everyone in the hall one by one and said solemnly: "No matter what happens to me, I want to see people when I am alive, and I want to see the corpse when I die. No matter whether she is alive or dead, my daughter, Xia Houyunzhao, must not be kept secret." Not white.”
After she said that, she turned and left, leaving everyone in the hall looking at each other in confusion. It was King Rong'an who first opened his mouth and probed: "I heard that Mr. Fang has been unconscious since he came out of Linjia Village. Could it be that he was infected with the plague?"
"Prince Lao is worried about you. Mr. Fang is just overworked and old injuries have recurred, so he fell ill. He is not infected with the plague." Zhuge Yu looked at King Rongan, smiled slightly and said: "This time, Prince Lao came to Mushan in person. Guan, it’s really hard work.”
"Master Zhuge, what you said is wrong. Mushan Pass is within my fiefdom, and it is my duty to fulfill it, but..." King Rong'an paused deliberately as he spoke, and said in a drawl: "Original Mushan Pass The gatekeeper, Mo Bin, rebelled and has not yet been dealt with. I don’t know why? I would also like to ask Mr. Zhuge to give me some advice."
"The prince is joking, how can I dare to teach the prince?" Zhuge Yu said with a smile on his lips: "Your Majesty has not explained it, so naturally we dare not deal with it at will. Moreover, Mr. Fang promised that the Mo family will make up for the mistakes. , I don’t know the inside story very well. But Mr. Su came here one step ahead of me, so he must know something about it?”
Seeing that he was causing trouble, Su Yun threw the words to him unceremoniously. He was secretly annoyed but still had a smile on his face, "I'm just a civil servant. I don't know anything about dispatching troops and generals. How could Mr. Fang do this?" Let me know? If you say you know the inside story, let me be Deputy General Cao who is next to Mr. Fang."
King Rong'an saw Zhuge Yu and Su Yun dismissing each other with every word, and simply asked: "Vice General Cao has been guarding Mr. Fang these two days. I heard that he questioned the bodyguard who entered the village with Mr. Fang." Sir, have you ever asked me anything?"
"The escort chief said that when he and Mr. Fang entered the village, there were only a few seriously ill people left in the village. They couldn't survive a few days and died." Zhuge Yu suppressed his smile and said softly: "Master Fang is afraid that The stench of corpses spread and the plague spread, so the village was set on fire."
While he was speaking, he kept staring at King Rongan closely, and finally asked casually: "But how did the prince know that the person who entered the village with Mr. Fang was a bodyguard?
King Rong'an was stunned for a moment, then asked without answering: "Isn't it?"
Zhuge Yu didn't answer. King Rong'an frowned and looked at the people around him. He knelt down before he could say anything. "My lord, please calm down. I only found out about this when I accidentally heard General Xiahou talking to his men a few days ago." Since General Xiahou said what he thought, he must be right, so I dare to report it to you..."
"General Xiahou?" Su Yun repeated softly, and King Rong'an's expression became colder. "General Xiahou cares about Miss Yan'er. It is understandable to inquire more, but you actually dare to eavesdrop on General Xiahou. Come here, give him Drag it down!"
"My lord, spare your life!" The people around King Rong'an were dragged down, and King Rong'an said guiltily: "It's because I failed to restrain the people below, and I actually raised such a sneaky thing, which made you laugh. If I were If I had known that he got the information from the corner, he would not have heard a word even if his ears were cut off."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself so much." Zhuge Yu looked indifferent, "Now His Majesty's will has not been achieved, and Mr. Fang is unable to take charge of the matter. I hope that Your Majesty will not overthink it. It will be bad if it hurts your mind."
King Rong'an looked stern, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuge, for reminding me. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave. If Mr. Zhuge and Mr. Su need me for anything, just ask, and I won't refuse."
After King Rongan also left, Zhuge Yu and Su Yun breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled, but then turned cold.
Su Yun said in a deep voice: "Master Zhuge, when we agreed to guard Mr. Fang for half a month, what are you doing?"
"The half-month period has passed." Zhuge Yu took the tea cup on the table and took a sip. "You and I can guard it for a while, but not for a lifetime. After all, there won't be long left."
"What do you mean?" Su Yun pursed his thin lips into a straight line. Zhuge Yu looked at him and suddenly smiled, "It turns out that Lord Su insisted on coming to this southeastern place in my place. I thought Lord Su was a capable person. Why are you so upset?"
Su Yun snorted coldly, "Master Zhuge, have you forgotten that I took your place?"
"I'm not a stingy person." Zhuge Yu put the tea cup back and tapped his fingers on the table, "Why does Mr. Su have to come?"
"Master Zhuge, what exactly do you want to say?" Su Yun looked cold, but Zhuge Yu still just smiled, "King Rong'an has selfish motives, General Xiahou has selfish motives, and even Mr. Su, you also have selfish motives. Am I right? "
Su Yun clenched his fingers into fists, "Isn't it the same with Mr. Zhuge? Do you dare to say that your master has no selfish motives?"
"Does the other party have selfish motives?" Zhuge Yu smiled helplessly. The so-called selfishness was not his, but something that Li Shengxuan in the Qiankun Palace kept privately and could not be known to anyone.
Li Shengxuan knew clearly that there was something behind the chaos in the southeast, and that even if Mo Bin was not the culprit, he could still bear the blame. However, when he heard that Fang Zilan was going to the epidemic area alone, he suppressed all his voices and sent him here regardless. There was only one order, and he must be Bring her back to the capital well.
What about Mo Bin's rebellion, King Rong'an's inability to discipline, Fang Zilan secretly shielding the Mo family, the Xiahou family trying to seize military power in the name of Qinghai bandits... Li Shengxuan didn't care at all, or in other words, it didn't matter except Fang Zilan.
He didn't know whether Li Shengxuan's move was a self-deception because he was afraid that he would bet on the capital but lose the bet, or whether he was a stubborn pet who would rather take the wrong side of the stick when he put all his money on the line.
But no matter which one it was, he didn't want to know. The former is just an escape, the latter is caused by love. As the emperor of the capital, Li Shengxuan and the Zhuge family swear allegiance to him, there should be no one of them, there will be no one, and there can be no one.
At this point, all he can do is pretend to be selfish in order to dispel everyone's doubts.
He heard his own voice, gentle and clear, "Yes, I am Lord Fang and I have selfish motives, so what? After all, I hold an official position and I am all supported by Lord Fang. If I have no selfish intentions towards her, wouldn't I become a god?"
