"People only think about things like dignity when they have time. If you can't even save your own life, who will care about the dignity of others?" Fang Zilan's face showed obvious disapproval, "If you ask me, Rabbit is anxious Even if it bites people, don't do anything too extreme."
Zhuge Yu sighed and said, "Your Majesty's wishes are not up to you or me."
"That's all, let's not say these disappointing words. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth, and we will wait until His Majesty's decree is issued." Fang Zilan waved her hands, changed her look to a relaxed look, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this year I will be with Ayu. I came to the West and missed the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am really sorry." Although she said this, there was no trace of guilt on her face.
Zhuge Yu smiled lightly and said, "I actually ate mooncakes. Sister Lan was unconscious, so she really missed the Mid-Autumn Festival. When I gave mooncakes to Miss Awan before, Miss Awan said that Sister Lan has nothing to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival. fate……"
He stopped mid-sentence, looking at Fang Zilan with a hint of unbearable expression.
Fang Zilan nodded without any reaction, "It's not fate, we haven't passed it for two consecutive years. Before I left Beijing last year, I asked Ayu to help me burn incense. Have you forgotten about this? I feel that this year I'm suffering from injuries, I guess I offended some god..."
Her words of indictment were not very impressive, more like a casual joke.
Zhuge Yu had a smile on his face, "I certainly remember Sister Lan's request. However, Sister Lan did not tell me what to ask for specifically, so I can only petition as I wish."
"Then what wish did Ayu make for me?" Fang Zilan asked curiously, and Zhuge Yu smiled mysteriously, "It won't work if I say it."
"Forget it, I think Ayu has a bandit gentleman, so he won't ask for some strange wishes." Fang Zilan said and gave up, but couldn't help but ask one more question, "Could it be that Hai Qinghe Yan and the world are at peace?"
Zhuge Yu's smile visibly froze for a moment, and Fang Zilan chuckled, "Is this really true? A Yu is really a man whose family and country are as great as the sky. It is good to be in a prosperous age, but for a person like me who fights on the battlefield, if it is in a prosperous age, then With the sword sealed and hidden in its scabbard, there is no chance of success."
Zhuge Yu suppressed his smile and looked unusually serious, "Everyone in the world wants peace and happiness, but does Sister Lan want the world to be in chaos?"
"I am also happy to be at ease. It's just that after being idle for a long time, people's fighting spirit is almost worn out." Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "No matter in prosperous times or troubled times, people have to live with a string. If one day , when the string is broken, the person is finished.”
"Sister Lan's words are right." Zhuge Yu nodded lightly, "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. If it is a calm life with no waves and a pool of stagnant water, it will be meaningless."
Fang Zilan walked over and glanced at the ropes that were tightly tied around Shangguan Min. She showed no intention of loosening them for him. After a while, she sighed: "I really have a good apprentice."
"Master, I was wrong..." Shangguan Min admitted his mistake very quickly. Fang Zilan looked at him condescendingly, "Shangguan Min, where did you go wrong this time?"
"I shouldn't have lied to you." Shangguan Min bit his lip and changed his title, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang."
Fang Zilan didn't expect him to be so frank, and said with a complicated expression: "You already know who I am, right?"
"Yes." Shangguan Min nodded, took a deep breath, and then told the truth, "When I was in the north, I accidentally discovered the plum branch pattern in your study. However, as soon as I took a look, I was passed by. Miss Awan pulled her out, and when I saw her looking like she was facing a formidable enemy, I knew that this pattern was not simple. And..."
He paused, lowered his eyes and said: "When the Beiyuan Seven Wolves died, my father Shangguan Jing had doubts in his heart, so he pursued it. Although I was young at that time, I still had an impression. One of the clues was this pattern. My father turned around Through the Jianghu people, I found out the owner of this pattern - Zi Xiu, the best in the world."
Fang Zilan's eyes were deep, "So, you knew that I was Zixiu when you were in the north?"
"Yes." Shangguan Min raised his head, looked directly at her and said, "I also know that the killer friend you mentioned is yourself. You used an old and trumped-up case to unjustly kill my father and harm the Shangguan family. A clan.”
"Although what I said is half false, it is still half true." Fang Zilan looked calm, "Your father did collaborate with the enemy for your mother. The letter is true, and it is not that I wronged him. If you don't believe it, you can go In Mobei, there is half a ruined monument, and the piles of dead bones buried underneath are the people from Beijing who were used for trade by your father."
"How do you know?" Shangguan Min asked, and Fang Zilan avoided his eyes, "Because I have seen with my own eyes how they died tragically and how their bodies were thrown into the yellow sand..."
She did not continue, but changed her tone, "Your father did something wrong, which brought down the whole family. And what I did, stirring up trouble and adding fuel to the flames, is not a good thing."
Shangguan Min's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But your words have awakened me. Your Majesty also cannot trust the Shangguan family, otherwise he would not hastily close the case without even investigating..."
"You are wrong." Fang Zilan interrupted him coldly, "You said I was wrong, and I admit it. However, the evidence of your father's case is solid, and it is not settled hastily. There are people from the Zhuge family, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Empress Dowager. We are investigating. Not to mention Your Majesty, he is always cautious about cases involving people in the military, otherwise Lao Li and the others would have died on New Year's Eve last year."
Shangguan Min was stunned, "Didn't you stand up and save everyone in the North?"
"I have stood up, but it is not me who protects everyone in the north, but His Majesty." Fang Zilan looked at Shangguan Min and said thoughtfully: "Now that we have said it, then when you come to the capital this time, do you want me to accept it?" As a disciple, you have already planned everything, right?"
Shangguan Min remained silent, and continued talking to herself, "And Huangfu Xin, your so-called drunkenness and saying something you shouldn't have said, and you accidentally let him hear it, so we became friends, but in fact you did it deliberately. Is it right?"
Shangguan Min breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes. If I want to clear up the name of the Shangguan family, I have little strength and can only borrow help. Most of the people in the northern army are with the Huangfu family. Huangfu Xin is the next head of the Huangfu family and he is an upright person. He will not be biased against me, and is most suitable for my use. As for..."
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "My purpose in coming to Beijing this time is to get you to accept me as your disciple. Even if you didn't take the initiative that day, I would use other methods, even if it's unscrupulous..."
"Shangguan Min." Fang Zilan said word by word: "Do you have to say what you have planned and done in such a disgusting way?"
