"Master Fang!" Shangguan Min walked over eagerly and looked Fang Zilan up and down, "How are you? I heard on the way that you were sick. What happened?"
"It's okay, it's just a recurrence of the old injury. It's the same old problem." Fang Zilan waved her hand, "It's you, why did you suddenly come to the capital?"
"General Huangfulin came to the capital according to the imperial edict, and General Huangfuxin accompanied him, so I asked him to take me with him." Shangguan Min relaxed his expression and lowered his eyes and said: "After we say goodbye to Qiluo City, I am really worried about you and Cao, Mr. Fang. Lieutenant General..."
Fang Zilan frowned, "Do Lao Li and Vice General Qin know about your coming to Beijing?"
Shangguan Min remained silent, and Fang Zilan's face darkened, "Where is Huangfu Xin now? I'll go find him."
"Master Fang..." Shangguan Min grabbed Fang Zilan's sleeve, "I insisted on following, and my name is on the accompanying list, so there will be no problem..."
"I don't care how you entered the capital, let alone why your name is on the list of entourage." Fang Zilan said coldly: "I just ask you, what is Huangfuxin's intention in bringing you to the capital? If someone with intentions takes advantage of it to make a big fuss, How should you deal with yourself? Do you think that the capital is a place in the north, and there will be someone to protect you in everything?"
She spoke more hastily, her breath surged, and she coughed violently.
"Boss, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, speak slowly." Vice General Cao quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Fang Zilan waved her hand but did not take it. She shook off Shangguan Min's hand and sat directly on the main seat, obviously waiting for an explanation.
"Master Fang, although I proposed this trip to Beijing, General Huangfu Xin helped me with all the procedures, so I could accompany him smoothly." Shangguan Min carefully considered each word: "He and I have a very good personal relationship. I believe he won’t harm me.”
Fang Zilan relaxed, "I met Huangfu Xin when I was in Qiluo City. He is the son of General Huangfulin, right?"
"Yes." Shangguan Min nodded, Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "Huangfu Xin doesn't look like a scheming person, and judging from his performance on the battlefield, he is a rare and calm young general. His praises are steady and prudent. It’s not an exaggeration.”
Shangguan Min took the tea cup from Deputy General Cao and brought it to Fang Zilan respectfully, "Master Fang, you have praised me so much, there will definitely be no problem."
"I want to say that even if there is a problem with the process Huangfu Xin went through for you, it would be difficult for you to see it." Fang Zilan gave Shangguan Min an annoyed look, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, no matter what Huangfu Xin is like, Regardless of his relationship with you, just because his surname is Huangfu, you cannot completely trust him."
"Why?" Shangguan Min watched Fang Zilan take the cup of tea, took a sip, and then said: "One's background always determines one's position, especially the family of Gongqing. It's all involuntarily. You are too close to me, aren't you? What a good thing."
Shangguan Min remained silent, and Fang Zilan sighed, "Forget it, don't think too much. Now that you are in my house, the Huangfu family can't do anything to you. But..."
"What?" Shangguan Min asked, but Fang Zilan did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Deputy General Cao and said, "Old Cao, there should be some old acquaintances of yours among the soldiers patrolling the capital. Please help me find out what happened when the Huangfu family entered the city. Is there anything unusual about the accompanying roster and the corresponding ultimatum?"
"Okay, I'll go right away." After Deputy General Cao agreed, he turned and left.
Shangguan Min looked at Vice General Cao's back and lowered his voice a little, "Master Fang, have I caused trouble for you?"
Fang Zilan sat back on the main seat and said softly: "As long as you know, go get me a pen and paper."
"What to do?" Shangguan Min looked confused, and Fang Zilan said impatiently: "Write to Lao Li and ask him what he has taught you. You seem to have grown older in vain, and you don't have half a mind. Sooner or later you will have to Killed."
Shangguan Min was startled and said: "Vice General Li also taught me according to your previous request, Mr. Fang. If you say I didn't teach him well..."
"Don't try to blame me for your troubles." Fang Zilan cut off his words, "I'm not your master."
Shangguan Min let out a low voice, and before he could say anything more, he saw A Wan rush in quickly, "Fang Zilan, we agreed to rest, why did you..."
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, "Shangguan Min, why are you here?"
"Miss Awan, I..." Shangguan Min was about to speak but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "Before you two reminisce about old times, bring me a pen and paper. I will write a letter to Lao Li and Mr. Qi."
Awan turned around and called to the housekeeper to bring a pen and paper. Fang Zilan wrote a letter while listening to the two people chatting. After the ink was dry, she was about to call the housekeeper in, but was stopped by Shangguan Min.
"You don't have to go through the trouble of a carrier pigeon." After Shangguan Min finished speaking, he whistled, and a goshawk landed steadily on the window lattice, its head held high and its chest high.
Awan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to tease him, but Shangguan Min said: "Be careful, he has a bad temper. It will be bad if he pecks you."
Awan subconsciously retracted her hand and asked curiously: "Shangguan Min, where did you get this goshawk?"
"The one I raised is pretty good, isn't it?" Shangguan Min waved in a showy manner, and the goshawk landed on his shoulder.
Fang Zilan frowned, "Shangguan Min, when did you take charge of raising the falcons in the army? I didn't know at all."
"No." Shangguan Min explained: "I picked up this goshawk, and it stuck with me for some reason."
Fang Zilan sighed softly, "Shangguan Min, are you afraid that others won't know that you are a descendant of the Desert Wolf King?"
Hearing this, A Wan reacted suddenly, "Speaking of which, apart from what is needed for sending messages in the military, I have never seen anyone in Dajing raising falcons privately."
Shangguan Min pursed his lips and dared not speak. Fang Zilan raised his hand and said, "Send your goshawk over."
Shangguan Min made no move, and the goshawk was also very alert. It spread its wings slightly and jumped onto his upright forearm, looking like it was about to attack at any time.
"What's your reaction?" Fang Zilan looked at this man and finally his eyes stopped on the goshawk and threatened: "If you don't come over, I will pluck all your hair out."
The goshawk seemed to understand and flew back to the window lattice. If it wasn't for Shangguan Min's sake, it would have fled immediately.
Shangguan Min looked at Fang Zilan in embarrassment and saw her helplessly saying: "If you don't let me ask the housekeeper to bring in the carrier pigeon, and your goshawk temper is so bad, how are you going to deliver the letter?"
"It turns out I just wanted to deliver a letter." Shangguan Min murmured in a low voice, couldn't help but relax, and held the goshawk in front of Fang Zilan.
Fang Zilan stared at the restless Goshawk and snorted coldly: "Otherwise, what did you think it was?"
