Don't ask where people go

Chapter 33 Celebration
Fang Zilan didn't know how she cut off Chakel's head, and how she returned to the Gilded City. The memories in her mind overlapped with Ji Ningtian's words in a daze, making her feel at a loss what to do.

The position of public minister is close at hand, but she is shaken like never before. Can she really only use bones to win the position she wants to win?

"General Fang?" Zhuge Yu frowned, looking at the distraught Fang Zilan in front of him, she still didn't respond to calling several times.

Li Qiyou on the side also frowned, "She came back from the desert like this, and she ignored her when our people found her."

The two looked at the person in the main seat at the same time. Who would have thought that the Gilded City was broken and she won a big victory, but she turned into a puppet and sat silently for nearly a whole day.

The army reveled all night to celebrate this hard-won victory. Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Min went to preside over the overall situation, but Fang Zilan, the righteous master, did not show up for a long time, and Li Qiyou also disappeared. Zhuge Yu felt strange that he came to look for the two Man, who would have seen such a strange scene.

Fang Zilan sat on the main seat holding Chakel's head, Li Qiyou stood in front of her with a worried face, and now even with him Zhuge Yu was also worried.

"Did no one follow her into the desert?" Zhuge Yu asked aloud, Li Qiyou shook his head, "I asked, but she won't be followed."

"No?" Zhuge Yu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Fang Zilan if she killed the Northern Seven Wolves before, and his heart sank. Could it be that she was going to clear the account and destroy the evidence?

"She said it was her own business, and she would not allow others to intervene." Li Qiyou explained, but Zhuge Yu was speechless. What kind of reason is this? What is her own business?On the battlefield are all state affairs, how can there be personal matters?

Seeing that Zhuge Yu didn't speak, Li Qiyou also panicked a bit, looked at him as if asking for help, and asked, "What should we do now?"

"What else can I do, try to bring her back to her senses." Zhuge Yu replied helplessly, "Please borrow the sword, my lord."

Li Qiyou was stunned for a moment, but he obediently took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Zhuge Yu, "What is Zhuge Master doing?"

Zhuge Yu ignored Li Qiyou, and pointed his long sword straight at Fang Zilan. In an instant, the tip of the sword was within a hair's breadth of her, but she didn't dodge or dodge, and she still sat motionless.

Zhuge Yu's heart froze, and the long sword in his hand reached Fang Zilan's face. Finally, Fang Zilan responded to Li Qiyou's exclamation, and stretched out his hand to hold the sword in front of him.

"Let go!" Seeing her holding the sword, Zhuge Yu couldn't help shouting.But she exerted a little force unconsciously, and Zhuge Yu felt his wrist go stiff, and let go of the hilt.

"General Fang!" Li Qiyou stepped forward, "You are injured."

Only then did Fang Zilan realize that her hand had been scratched by the sword, and the blood gushed out, dripping onto the ground.

"I'm fine." She said and let go of her hand. When the long sword was about to fall, she held the hilt with the other hand and handed the sword to Li Qiyou. Please put it away."

Li Qiyou took the sword from Fang Zilan's hand and put it away in a daze, her brows frowning involuntarily, "You two are looking for me, what do you want?"

"The soldiers are going to have a banquet to celebrate, and there is only one commander missing." Zhuge Yu said, and he saluted with fists in his hands, "I just hope that General Fang will forgive me for offending me so much just now."

"It's okay." Fang Zilan restrained her emotions, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't go, as long as they have fun."

"The main character is not here, I'm afraid it can't be justified." Zhuge Yu's voice was faint, but he refused to give up an inch, which made Fang Zilan's look a bit colder, "The main character? It's not singing, why is the leading role?"

"Even if you're singing, you have to do your best on stage." There was something in Zhuge Yu's words, and the sharpness in his eyes was sharp, "General Fang must know."

Fang Zilan sighed, and finally compromised, "Young Master Zhuge said so, I will go." After she finished speaking, she bandaged the wound on her hand, and then followed Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou to Jin The square in front of the palace.

On the square, Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Min were directing several lieutenants to bring food and drinks, and there were busy soldiers everywhere, brimming with the joy of victory.

However, when Fang Zilan saw Shangguan Jing, she couldn't help holding the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and her reason told her not to act rashly now, but when she thought of what was written in that letter, she couldn't restrain herself.

It's not that she didn't think that what Ji Ningtian said was a lie, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't find any flaws.What's even more frightening is that in her memory, some of the things Chuckel said unintentionally also matched what Ji Ningtian said.

She remembered that after she killed the Northern Plains Seven Wolves, Chuckel was afraid of her but still teased her. One sentence said that the Central Plains girls sent by Shangguan Jing back then were really good... ringing in circles, finally Set out the truth.

"General Fang!" Shangguan Min saw Fang Zilan with sharp eyes, and approached happily, but seeing her solemn expression, he was taken aback, "General Fang, this is..."

"Nothing." Fang Zilan interrupted Shangguanmin coldly, "How are you all arranged?"

Seeing that she changed the subject, Shangguan Min didn't bother himself, and hurriedly answered, "It's almost there, just wait for you, General, and we will start the banquet."

"Then let's start the banquet." Her expression was indifferent, and Shangguan Jing, who was not far away, noticed her lack of interest, and he also walked over, "General Fang seems to be in a bad mood?"

"I'm not in a good mood?" Fang Zilan replied calmly, making Shangguan Jing hesitate, "It's just..."

"General Shangguan don't need to say much, let's celebrate today." She said indifferently: "If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Shangguan Jing thought that she still remembered about Shangguan Yun, and was about to say something when she turned around and walked to the center of the square.And Shangguan Min looked at her back in bewilderment, a little confused.

Fang Zilan said a few words about the hard work of the soldiers, and ordered the banquet to begin.After all, she really didn't have the energy to celebrate. Fortunately, everyone in the army was immersed in the joy of victory, and no one noticed her abnormality. Only Shangguan Min kept pestering her, making her breathless.

"Shangguanmin, if you want to drink and find someone else, I won't!" Fang Zilan looked disgusted, but Shangguanmin still stuck to him like brown sugar.

"Then don't drink." Shangguan Min acted like a child, "I just want to know, why are you unhappy, General Fang?"

"I'm not unhappy." Fang Zilan turned her face away and walked to the back garden of the palace, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the square.Shangguan Min followed her and followed her to the back garden.

"You're talking nonsense." Shangguan Min's voice came from behind her, making her a little impatient, "Even if I'm unhappy, what does it have to do with you?"

"Of course it does matter. You are my general. If someone makes you unhappy, I will be the first to let him go." Shangguan Min said childishly, Fang Zilan only felt more blocked.

She stopped suddenly, turned her head and looked at the young man who was following her, "If I say, I won't settle Shangguan Yun's account with your Shangguan family, how will you treat it?"

"Brother Yun?" Shangguan Min was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "I thought it was something, so what you said to Uncle Jing in the square just now, you have something to talk about tomorrow, you mean this?" She remained silent, as if Waiting for his answer.

"Well, even if our Shangguan family wants to settle accounts with you, I'm afraid it won't work." Shangguan Min scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uncle Jing sent the eagle to send a message at noon today, and it is estimated that the emperor has already known that you broke Liu About Jincheng, the imperial decree will come down tomorrow, when you will be in the limelight, our Shangguan family will not dare to do anything to you."

"So fast?" The astonishment in Fang Zilan's eyes flashed, and Shangguan Min nodded, "Our Shangguan family's falcons travel thousands of miles a day, and we rely on them to report the ever-changing changes on the battlefield."

Fang Zilan hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "The Shangguan family dare not do anything to me, so will you hate me?"

"If you say you don't hate General Fang, you won't believe it." Shangguan Min said while stealing a look at Fang Zilan, like a child who did something wrong, "But in the battle of Wind River Valley, you saved my life. Outside the Gilded City, Uncle Jing was also saved by you. I can't hate you."

Fang Zilan smiled wryly, as if muttering to herself, she couldn't help but continued, "If I kill Shangguan Jing and destroy your entire Shangguan family, will you still hate it?"

"What did General Fang say?" Shangguan Min didn't take it seriously, only thinking that Fang Zilan was joking, "You have no enmity with our Shangguan family, how did you get to this point?"

"Yeah, how did it get to this point." Fang Zilan sighed, "Forget it, let's go back." After she finished speaking, she lifted her feet and walked towards the square. Shangguan Min followed her with an unconcealable joy on her face , "General Fang is willing to celebrate?"

"When did I say I didn't want to?" She shook her head helplessly. Today is a day worth celebrating, and she doesn't want to spoil everyone's interest. Let's leave other things until tomorrow.

The two turned around and within a few steps, they met Zhuge Yu who was coming towards the back garden.Seeing Fang Zilan's expression, Shangguanmin knew that she and Zhuge Yu had something to say, so he excused himself and left first.

When Shangguan Min walked away, Fang Zilan spoke first, "What does Mr. Zhuge want to say to me?"

Zhuge Yu didn't expect her to be so direct, so he said bluntly: "About the Northern Plains Seven Wolves, and Chakel."

"They are all dead." Fang Zilan said in a serious tone, "No matter what you want to know, dead people can't speak."

"So I can only ask people who are still alive." Zhuge Yu smiled lightly, "For example, General Fang and Shangguan Min."

"It has nothing to do with Shangguan Min." Fang Zilan's tone became colder, "Tomorrow, I will definitely give Mr. Zhuge an answer."

　The seemingly calm celebration was undercurrents surging behind it.There are many truths and many lies, and tomorrow will finally be revealed.
