"If it's as you said, the military advisor must be someone from the army." Li Shengxuan's eyes flashed with hesitation, but Fang Zilan keenly caught it, "Sir, it seems that he doesn't agree with what I said."
Li Shengxuan said in a deep voice: "Although what you said is not impossible, I am more inclined to another possibility."
"There is collusion between officials and bandits, and someone revealed the news to the bandits in advance." Fang Zilan answered, and as expected, she saw Li Shengxuan's expression of appreciation.
When Li Shengxuan mentioned that there was a fixed way of fighting just now, she felt strange. It stands to reason that soldiers are treacherous, and even if they never deviate from their sect, it is impossible to have a fixed way of fighting, but...
Bandits and bandits do not want to fight against the imperial court, so chasing each other and fighting each other, advancing and retreating are all within common sense. As long as a balance can be maintained, there will be no so-called real failure.
"I once ordered people to investigate secretly." Li Shengxuan kept writing, and in a blink of an eye he outlined several mansions and a large camp.
"Are these the suspects?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "The scope is too wide. It is impossible to find out in a short time."
"It's not impossible." Li Shengxuan connected all the places on the map one by one, and Fang Zilan thought thoughtfully, "We are in Jiangdu now. Although we are not far from any government, but..."
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, looking intently at the circle marked on Li Shengxuan's map, "This is... Suzhou Mansion?"
"The Fang family is going to hold an annual spring party in Suzhou Mansion. At that time, officials from the surrounding governments, big and small, will come to appreciate the honor." Li Shengxuan said, determined to win: "This is an opportunity."
Fang Zilan was silent for a while and then said: "Although I have the status of the Chamber of Commerce, I did not receive an invitation to the Spring Party, so I went there rashly..."
"Don't worry, I have an invitation to the Spring Festival." Li Shengxuan said, taking out a golden invitation from his arms and handing it over. Fang Zilan took it and looked at it, "Is there nothing written on it? "
"So I want to use your identity as a chamber of commerce." Li Shengxuan said matter-of-factly. Fang Zilan looked serious and held the invitation under her nose and smelled it. "This is a new post, and the gold sprinkled on it is also the same as the Fang family's customary one." s difference."
As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers over the gold powder on the invitation. The grain was too rough and not as delicate as what she had seen at Fang's house.
"You are quite perceptive." Li Shengxuan's lips curled up slightly, "But others may not be the same. This post is enough to deceive laymen."
"It may be enough to deceive a layman, but it is not possible to deceive Fang's family." Fang Zilan said helplessly: "Can't you find someone to imitate the truth?"
"The Fang family's gold-sprinkled stickers are all specially made by a special person, and they are hard to find." Li Shengxuan shrugged innocently, "Even I am not that capable."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath. Maybe she had always regarded Li Shengxuan as a god and Buddha in the temple that everyone worshiped. He had vast and omnipotent powers. So now when she heard these words, she just felt incredible, as if she was an imposter in front of her. dummy.
Li Shengxuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Fang Zilan, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you look at me like this?"
"I'm confirming." Fang Zilan squeezed the invitation tightly, "Are you Li Shengxuan?"
"Fang Zilan, you are brave!" Xia Houzhang, who had always been guarding the door, finally couldn't help but interjected, "How dare you call... by your first and last name?"
He deliberately lowered his voice and looked like a bulging pufferfish, holding his cheeks but not daring to explode. Fang Zilan was very happy to see it, and she wanted to tease him, wanting to see what the pufferfish would look like when it exploded.
Li Shengxuan had a clear view of Fang Zilan's thoughts, and changed his voice first and said: "It doesn't matter, now I am just an ordinary person, and I still have to rely on Miss Fang for support."
"Me?" Fang Zilan pointed at herself and laughed dumbly, "Can I give you a heads up?"
"Miss Fang's body as a businessman is much better than that of a poor commoner like me." Li Shengxuan looked calm. Fang Zilan's hand squeezed the invitation harder and harder. It looked like the invitation would be shattered into pieces in the next moment.
"Miss Fang, please be merciful." Li Shengxuan said seriously: "I spent a lot of effort to get this invitation. If it is destroyed..."
"So what if it's destroyed?" Fang Zilan tore the invitation into pieces without any scruples, "I will find another Spring Festival invitation, a real one from the Fang family."
Li Shengxuan chuckled, "That's it, thank you."
"You did it on purpose." Fang Zilan calmed down, "Since we want to cooperate, then don't play any tricks. If you have something to talk about, I don't have time to make any twists and turns with you."
After saying that, she left without looking back. Li Shengxuan had reservations about her, and she didn't completely trust him. However, the current situation is indeed not suitable for mutual suspicion.
"Master." Ming Xiang bowed respectfully, and Fang Zilan raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to be polite, and then asked: "The Fang family is about to hold a spring party in Suzhou Mansion. Do you know about this?"
"I know." Ming Xiang nodded, "The Fang family holds a spring party every year. This year it will be held on the first day of next month. It will be held at Zuiyue Tower in Suzhou Mansion. The invitations have been sent out long ago."
"If I want an invitation, is it still possible?" Fang Zilan pursed her lips, Ming Xiang thought for a while and said: "Qianjinfang receives invitations from the Fang family every year, but..."
She didn't say anything further. Fang Zilan knew in her heart that Qianjinfang couldn't appear in front of others easily, so even if she received the invitation, she never showed up.
Now, she appeared at the spring party with the invitation given to Qianjinfang by the Fang family. I'm afraid it's not just the businessman. She left without looking back. Li Shengxuan had reservations about her, and she didn't treat him as well. Complete trust. However, the current situation is indeed not suitable for mutual suspicion.
"Master." Ming Xiang bowed respectfully, and Fang Zilan raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to be polite, and then asked: "The Fang family is about to hold a spring party in Suzhou Mansion. Do you know about this?"
"I know." Ming Xiang nodded, "The Fang family holds a spring party every year. This year it will be held on the first day of next month. It will be held at Zuiyue Tower in Suzhou Mansion. The invitations have been sent out long ago."
"If I want an invitation, is it still possible?" Fang Zilan pursed her lips, Ming Xiang thought for a while and said: "Qianjinfang receives invitations from the Fang family every year, but..."
She didn't say anything further. Fang Zilan knew in her heart that Qianjinfang couldn't appear in front of others easily, so even if she received the invitation, she never showed up.
Now, she appeared at the spring party with an invitation from the Fang family to Qianjinfang. She was afraid that it would be more than just businessmen. Posted and never showed up.
Now, when she appears at the spring party with the invitation given to Qianjinfang by the Fang family, she is probably more than just a businessman.
