Chapter 21 Personal Enmity
Chapter 21 Personal Revenge
Fang Zilan really didn't want to stay in Yanzhou City, not to mention that she was most afraid of long nights and dreams about war, and she couldn't afford to delay it.
"That's it now." She said firmly, Shangguan Jing looked confused, "It's getting late now, and it will take time to gather the soldiers. Why don't Miss Fang order the troops tomorrow?"
"General Shangguan was born in the army, so he knows that soldiers are wise and quick to change, and I don't have time to waste." Fang Zilan pursed her lips tightly, "What's more, the imperial edict has been issued long ago, so General Shangguan must have been prepared for it.
?”
There was something in her words, and Shangguan Jing didn't dare to neglect it and agreed immediately.
In just a short while, Shangguan Jing summoned all the soldiers and invited Fang Zilan and his party to the generals' platform.
The three of them looked down and saw that except for the torches all around, the stage was completely dark in the middle. In the dusk, they could not see the movements of the people below at all.
Zhuge Yu felt uneasy. All the soldiers and horses they had brought were stationed outside the city. Fang Zilan only brought him, Li Qiyou, and a few deputy generals with him this time.
Now they are in the midst of the Shangguan family's troops. If something happens, they will be in chaos and no one will be able to escape.
"Are you satisfied, Miss Fang?" Shangguan Jing turned to look at Fang Zilan, waving to the soldiers in the audience, "These are the most elite troops of my Shangguan family."
"They are all serving the country, and I can't say that I am satisfied with it." Fang Zilan did not look at the people next to him, but lowered his eyes to scan the people below, "And General Shangguan was wrong, this is not the most elite unit of the Shangguan family, but
They are the most elite troops in the capital."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shangguan Jing, and the aura on her body made him stunned.
"That's what Miss Fang said." Shangguan Jing said, taking off the sword from his body and holding it in front of Fang Zilan with both hands.
Just as Fang Zilan stretched out her hand, she heard the sound of piercing the air coming from behind. The next second, three cold arrows from behind her were approaching.
"Be careful!" Li Qiyou suddenly warned. Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan took the sword from Shangguan Jing's hand and knocked down the cold arrow behind him with his backhand. The whole process was done in one go, so fast that all of them were stunned.
There was no time to react.
"Miss Fang?" Zhuge Yu was about to ask when he saw a figure flash past in front of him.
Suddenly, a voice was heard coming down from the watchtower not far away, "It's accurate, but it's a pity that it's a little slow."
It is Fang Zilan.
As she spoke, she picked up a person and jumped off the watchtower, landing firmly on the platform and throwing the person to the ground.
After Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou confirmed that Fang Zilan was fine, they turned to look at the person on the ground. They saw a young man in black armor, who looked like he was a soldier from the Shangguan family.
The young man's expression was full of astonishment, his eyebrows were knitted together, and his eyes were slightly childish. He looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Do you know what the crime of assassinating the coach is?" Fang Zilan said calmly, but the young man spat, "Coach? You, a woman, have the nerve to say that you are the coach?"
"I'm not saying that I am the coach, but I am the coach." Fang Zilan looked a little more serious, "Tell me, who ordered you to kill me?"
"A fake coach will be punished by everyone."
The angry look of the young man's righteous words made Fang Zilan couldn't help but find it funny, "Impostor? Even if I am a woman, I am also the coach appointed by His Majesty, how can I say I am an impostor?"
"If you hadn't killed Brother Yun, would you be the one standing here ordering troops now?" The young man looked disdainful, and she slightly raised the corner of her mouth, "Sure enough, you are here for Shangguan Yun."
Li Qiyou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhuge Yu's eyes.
Zhuge Yu shook his head and motioned for Li Qiyou to read on.
The two of them saw Fang Zilan smile faintly, "You said that I can stand here because I killed Shangguan Yun? I'm afraid you are not the only one who is standing here now and thinks so. Am I right, General Shangguan?
?”
"This is a fact, isn't it?" Shangguan Jing looked coldly.
He didn't expect that Fang Zilan could not only dodge those cold arrows, but even catch the person who fired them. It seemed that she had some skills. But the people standing here now were all members of his Shangguan family. No matter how capable she was,
It is impossible for one person to stop thousands of troops.
"Isn't it possible that I am able to stand here because your Shangguan family is unable to retreat and your Majesty has no one to use?" Fang Zilan smiled, with a solemn expression, "Even if there is no Shangguan Yun, there are others in your Shangguan family. But now the Jin people are coming.
, as my number one in Dajing
Not only are you Shangguan family unable to get out of the defense line, but at this time when the great enemy is facing a national crisis, you people are not thinking about how to quell the chaos, but how to avenge yourself. Don't you think it's ridiculous? The country is not peaceful.
What kind of personal vendetta are you talking about?"
"After I take the head off Chakor's head this time, you can come to me if you want to take revenge. But before that, if the chaos in the north becomes unjust, I will not give up. Even if there is a war,
Even if I only have one soldier, I won't retreat even a cent." She spoke every word loudly, and the generals on the stage were extremely quiet for a moment.
"Everyone in the audience, if you are not willing to fight with me, you can go home now. Our Zilan will not force anyone, but I want to tell you that you are not fighting for our Zilan in this battle, let alone the Shangguan family.
Fight, but fight for every inch of the land under your feet, fight for everyone you want to protect, and fight for yourself. In life, if you don’t seek to be famous like the sages of the ages, you deserve it and you can’t be ashamed of it.
Heaven and earth themselves.”
Her voice was not loud, but it had a shocking power. The surrounding firelight reflected her eyes, and there seemed to be thousands of stars in the dark pupils, shining with indescribable persistence.
She lowered her head and looked at the people in the audience. The dusk was so deep that she couldn't see the reactions of the people in the audience. She didn't know whether her words could impress these people in the audience, but this was her only bargaining chip.
She doesn't need a disloyal army, she needs people who can fight with her until the last moment.
Therefore, even though she no longer had any confidence, she still asked her last words, "Who is willing to go with me in this battle?"
It was still an extremely silent moment, was it really going to stop here? She couldn't help clenching her fists, completely unaware of the smile in Zhuge Yu's eyes and the approving gaze of Li Qiyou.
"I do." A voice broke the silence.
Fang Zilan suddenly raised her eyes and met the eyes of the black-armored boy. There was indescribable determination in the boy's eyes.
As he said "I do", the audience suddenly felt like a pot exploded, "I do!"
The waves of sound grew louder and louder. Fang Zilan could hardly believe her ears. She actually did it.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zilan waved to the people below to be quiet, then turned to look at the young man on the ground, "Although you are willing to go on an expedition with me, it does not mean that you do not need to pay a price for what you do."
"Miss Fang!" Shangguan Jing stepped forward and stood in front of the young man, "Please show mercy."
"My army has always had strict discipline. If I don't punish him for assassinating the commander today, how can he convince the public?" Fang Zilan said, pulling out the sword in his hand.
There was silence everywhere, but Shangguan Jing had no intention of getting out of the way. Fang Zilan's expression became colder and colder, "Get out of the way."
"Uncle Jing, if you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished." The young man stood up, walked in front of Shangguan Jing, and looked steadily at Fang Zilan in front of him, "I accept the punishment."
"Okay." Fang Zilan smiled slightly and waved the sword in his hand.
Everyone was too late to react to this sudden turn of events. It wasn't until Fang Zilan sheathed his sword that everyone took a closer look and found that the young man was still standing on the general stand.
Shangguan Jing looked at Fang Zilan in front of him with disbelief. He saw that she was holding a sword in her right hand and a lock of hair in her left hand. The hair on the side of the young man's shoulder was obviously shorter.
"My body, hair, and skin are the fault of my parents. Today I cut off my hair and take the place of my head, which is considered a punishment." Fang Zilan said and threw the hair in her hand casually, "Now you are not guilty."
The young man looked at Fang Zilan blankly, and then he knelt down with a plop, "Thank you, General Fang. From today on, Shangguan Min will accompany the general and look up to him."
"In that case, I will appoint you as the deputy general and go out with the army tomorrow." Fang Zilan reached out and helped the kneeling person in front of him up.
Shangguan Jing on the other side did not say anything, but silently walked down the general platform. The deputy general behind him followed closely, "General, do we still want to..."
Before the deputy general finished speaking, Shangguan Jing raised his hand to stop him, "Well, what she said is right. Now is not the time to seek personal revenge."
The deputy general stared blankly at the figure in front of him. I don't know if it was his imagination or something, but the head of the family in front of him seemed to have aged a lot.
After Fang Zilan finished ordering the generals, she got off the general stage and went back to the private room prepared for her at Shangguan's house. Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou also went back with her.
But both of them followed her to the door of her house, which made her a little funny, "Prince and Mr. Zhuge, you two grown men, why are you following a woman like me?"
"Congratulations to General Fang for achieving your wish." It was Zhuge Yu who spoke. He still had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
Fang Zilan just smiled, "It's rare that Mr. Zhuge is willing to call me General Fang, but he doesn't mean it sincerely, so don't force it."
"I don't know whether Mr. Zhuge is sincere, but I feel that what Miss Fang just said is reasonable and admirable." Li Qiyou said it generously, and Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "The prince said so.
, but I am disrespectful."
"Although it makes sense, it would be too risky for you to risk your life and fortune on those words." Zhuge Yu shook his head slightly, somewhat disapproving, "Do you know that Shangguan Min is just an introduction, and the real Shangguan family
Is the killer move still to come?”
"Betting is not a good thing, but since I have no retreat, I can only put my money and my life on this bet. Fortunately, I won the bet." Fang Zilan had a bit of pride on his face, and Zhuge Yu couldn't help but frown.
Frowning slightly, "Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"
"If I lose, won't I still have Young Master Zhuge and Prince Zhuge and you two?" Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, "Although you two don't like me, but after all, this is related to the safety of the country, so it's not necessary
I will let the Shangguan family do whatever they want with their hands covering the sky."
