Shangguan Min tilted his head stubbornly, "If you don't kill me, you will die in my hands sooner or later."
Fang Zilan chuckled softly, "I have heard this sentence said by too many people. To me, it is not even alarmist. I still say the same thing, if you have the ability."
"You..." Shangguan Min's face was full of disbelief, "But now that the matter has come to this, you have no reason to believe me!"
The smile on Fang Zilan's face became even brighter, and she said in a drawl: "If you don't think there is one, then I can help you find one?"
Shangguan Min was choked by her and couldn't speak, but he heard her ask herself: "Wei Changtai sent people to question you every day, why did you never tell the origin of that pattern? Nor did you reveal my true identity. identity?"
"Wei Changtai and his like, I don't even bother to associate with them." Shangguan Min still tilted his head with a cold expression, "Your true identity is my most powerful card, and it must be used at the right time."
"Really?" Fang Zilan said quietly without comment, "Do you know who Zixiu is?"
"The best... killer in the world..." Shangguan Min's voice was very soft, and Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "A killer with a notorious reputation and a life-threatening lawsuit. As long as such an identity is spread in the capital, I will no longer have a foothold. At that time, someone will send a letter to Your Majesty, asking for an inventory of the lives tied to my body, and asking whether beheading is the best outcome for me..."
"No!" Shangguan Min suddenly interrupted Fang Zilan's words. She ignored him and continued in a deep voice: "Such an opportunity is rare in your life in the North."
"I..." Shangguan Min was about to open his mouth to argue, but was overtaken by Fang Zilan, "Even if you disdain to be associated with Wei Changtai, revealing my true identity is enough to buy you peace. Instead of like now, it is up to me to decide what you want." life and death. Why don’t you use such a good opportunity?”
Shangguan Min bit his lips tightly, "I said, even if you die, you will die in my hands."
"You little liar who deceives yourself and others." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, with the plum sword in his hand already unsheathed, "If you don't want to live, I will kill you and leave your body intact, so that you will not be tortured by Master Wei, and you will be considered as the winner of our division." It’s just a matter of friendship.”
After hearing this, Shangguan Min closed his eyes, but the corners of his lips curved in a vague arc, as if he was relieved.
The light of the sword flashed past, Fang Zilan returned the sword to its sheath, and said in a cold voice: "When this matter is over, you will follow Huangfu Xin back to the north, and don't come to the capital again."
Shangguan Min felt his body loosen. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the rope that bound him was cut off by Fang Zilan and fell to the ground.
"You..." Shangguan Min was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Huangfu Xin won't take over the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?"
"Did you also notice?" Fang Zilan's eyes flashed with relief, and Shangguan Min nodded, "Beijing will use me to blackmail you, and I also know the old things in the north. The only ones who can take advantage of our grudges are the Huangfu family. .”
Fang Zilan did not answer, but simply wrote lightly: "Although Master Wei Subaru is cruel, he is not unreasonably cruel. The effect of his act of killing chickens and warning monkeys is probably unmatched by anyone. Your Majesty is as clear-minded as a mirror, and he will not find anyone to replace him." he."
Shangguan Min's doubts seemed to have been confirmed, and he suddenly said: "No wonder you stopped just now..."
Fang Zilan didn't explain much. She held the sword a little tighter, and finally left the sentence "Shangguan Min, never hate yourself", then turned and left the camp.
Shangguan Min looked at her back, a wry smile appeared on his face, and she guessed it right.
He still couldn't make a move on her. Not this time, and probably not again in the future.
Don't hate yourself? But besides himself, who else could he hate?
He had made up his mind to hate her in the past, but when he saw her burying the people of Sanyuan Village and often paying homage to her, his hatred was shaken.
Not to mention seeing her riding across the desert to provide peace to the people, and listening to her fight on the battlefield to ensure peace in the surrounding areas. At that moment, his heart was just like that night when he was on stage, with only following respect and no trace of hatred.
When he came to the capital this time, he thought she would be annoyed and drive him back, which would at least make him feel a little bit of hatred, but she didn't.
Tell the truth, nothing false. Even the fierce general in front of the prison of the Ministry of Justice and the true identity behind the drawings were admitted by her without any secret.
In comparison, his concealment and deception seemed even more ridiculous, and it only made him hate himself more.
If he was not of the Wolf King's blood, if he was not Shangguan, would he be able to live a more magnanimous life? However, he was so trapped that he could no longer hear any other answers.
Go back to the north. Even if you work as a miscellaneous person in the army and live a mediocre life, you can still see the vastness of the world.

In just an hour, Wei Subaru ordered people to clean up. When Fang Zilan walked back, there was only a faint trace of blood on the ground, which was almost indistinguishable if you didn't look carefully.
If it weren't for the bloody smell in the air, Fang Zilan would have almost thought that everything that happened before was just a dream stained with blood.
"Master Fang." Zheng Yan came over and lowered his head and said, "I couldn't..."
"There's no need to apologize, there's no need to feel guilty." Fang Zilan cut off his unfinished words, "This is all his choice."
Zheng Yan remained silent, and Fang Zilan sighed quietly and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay." Zheng Yan responded and followed Fang Zilan not far away when he heard someone whispering behind him——
"Isn't that Zheng Yan?"
"Oh, it's true. I heard that he climbed into the Yue Kingdom's palace?"
"I don't know what Mr. Fang sees in him. He is obviously a loser, and he was detained by Mr. Wei just now..."
Hearing the sound, Fang Zilan stopped and glanced back at the person who spoke. His gaze was like a cold blade, piercing the person into silence.
"Master Fang..." Zheng Yan was about to say something when he heard Fang Zilan say loudly: "Those of you who are talking about Zheng Yan, please stand up for me."
Several people were stunned for a moment, then walked over, stood in front of them, and bowed.
"Today I am here to bear witness." Fang Zilan said word by word; "Zheng Yan competes with you. If he loses, he will leave our Yue Kingdom Palace and the strongest one among you will take his place. But If you lose, then apologize to him and never speak rudely to him in this life."
"Isn't this bullying him?" One of them murmured in a low voice. Fang Zilan heard it and slightly curled her lips: "I have the final say whether you are bullying him or not. Come on together."
Before Zheng Yan could speak, several people had looks of surprise on their faces, "Master Fang, are you kidding me?"
"If you don't believe it, let Mr. Wei come as a witness." Fang Zilan raised his voice, attracting Wei Subaru who walked out of the tent. He understood the situation at a glance, nodded in agreement, and added, "If If someone helps, Zheng Yan loses."
After hearing this, the few people who were originally loose now became fortified, with a faint murderous intent. Zheng Yan also took a step forward and drew his sword out of its sheath.
Fang Zilan took a few steps back and stood side by side with Wei Subaru, just listening to him play: "Master Fang, aren't you afraid that Zheng Yan will lose?"
