Don't ask where people go

Chapter 44 Killing the Wolf

"What do you mean by not talking?" Fang Zilan walked in front of the crowd, her expression turned cold, "Even if the Shangguan family is guilty, it won't make you dare not even tell the whereabouts of Shangguan Min, right? Are you so afraid of being implicated?"

"Master Fang, what are you talking about!" Xu Canjun, who was standing in front of Fang Zilan, hastily denied, "I can't wait to say it's just..."

Xu Canjun looked distressed and did not continue, but Fang Zilan did not let him go, "But what is it?"

"It's just that Mr. Fang doesn't have to be so concerned about being a sinner." On the other hand, Vice General Qin took a step forward calmly and answered for Xu Canjun.

Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him indifferently, "It's my business whether I care about it or not, so I don't need others to say more. Xu Canjun, where is Shangguan Min?"

"This..." Xu Canjun glanced at Fang Zilan in embarrassment, then at Vice General Qin, hesitated for a while, but couldn't say anything.

"Don't tell me, I'll go find it myself." Fang Zilan looked at the submissive Xu Canjun amusedly, "I don't believe it. I dug the northern border three feet, but I still can't find a Shangguanmin."

After she said that, she walked away, and Deputy General Qin hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute, Mr. Fang."

"Why, why didn't you tell me to look for it?" She sneered coldly, "Could it be that I let you take charge of military affairs, so you think I'm easy to talk to?"

"The last general doesn't dare." Vice General Qin clasped his fists and saluted, "Shangguan Min is now killing wolves in Mobei."

"Killing wolves?" Fang Zilan repeated Qin's words in a daze. She didn't know that there was such a thing as killing wolves in the army, so she was a little confused for a while.

Seeing her doubts, Deputy General Qin explained a few words, "There are many wolves in Mobei, and the people are often injured by them, so Qi Canjun formed a special team to kill the wolves."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled a bit coldly, "Is everyone in this team surnamed Shangguan?"

Deputy General Qin was taken aback by her question, and murmured: "This... the army has already arranged manpower everywhere, and there are no free people at the moment, only a few people from Shangguan's family are newcomers..."

"Yes, quite appropriate." She nodded, her tone was very pertinent, which made Vice General Qin a little at a loss, "Master Fang means..."

"It's nothing interesting, I just think it's new, and I want to see it for myself." She said casually, pointing her hand casually, "Vice General Cao, Vice General Qin, you two come with me to see how killing wolves is. Do what you have to do.”

Vice-General Cao and Vice-General Qin heard Fang Zilan's name, they nodded hurriedly and followed her out of the big tent, and rode their horses straight to the desert.

Deputy General Qin followed behind with a gloomy expression. After holding back for a while, he finally couldn't help but say, "Lord Fang, it's getting late. Is it too risky for the three of us to go to the desert?"

"Why are there only three of us?" Fang Zilan glanced back at Vice General Qin, and said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't there still a wolf-killing team?"

Fang Zilan choked on a single sentence so that Vice General Qin could not speak. Of course he knew that Qi Canjun was just using the pretext of killing wolves to eradicate dissidents.

A group of people from Shangguan's family who just entered the barracks were all ineffective second-generation ancestors. In addition to Shangguan Min, who was of half-golden blood, there were many people in the army who couldn't stand it. Even if they were eaten by wolves, no one would care.

But who knew that Fang Zilan asked about Shangguan Min's whereabouts as soon as he came. Speaking of which, Shangguan Min was Fang Zilan's striker in the Battle of Gilded City. Blame it on them?
Here, Deputy General Qin's heart is turning back and forth, and his mind has gone through countless detours, while Fang Zilan is wondering whether Shang Guanmin's skills can save his life among the wolves. Neither spoke.

Fang Zilan and his party galloped all the way, and in a blink of an eye they had walked several miles outside the barracks, not far from the remnants of the Gilded City.

The Gilded City has not yet garrisoned troops, and there are ruins and walls everywhere. It is already a deserted city. The wolf-killing team that Vice General Qin talked about must be nearby.

Fang Zilan rode his horse to stop not far from the remnants of the gold-plated city wall, looked at the black scorched earth in the distance, and said indifferently: "Vice General Qin, the wolf-killer you talked about is here?"

Deputy General Qin heard her name-calling question, and hurriedly replied: "It's still farther away, outside the Gilded City."

"Outside the Gilded City?" She turned her head to look at the Deputy General Qin behind her, her tone somewhat surprised, "Is there a place outside the Gilded City where the people of Dajing will go?"

"Master Fang, you don't know something. The northern desert has always been barren, but there are also some businessmen and tourists. There are people in my capital, and there are also some nomadic tribes." Vice-General Qin's words made Fang Zilan feel that he was rare and strange. She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but she concealed it very well and said calmly, "Then why didn't you set up a team to kill wolves before?"

"It's strange to say." Deputy General Qin frowned slightly, "Although there have been incidents of wolves hurting people in the past, for some reason recently, people have frequently said that they were attacked by wolves, and the matter has spread to Mr. Zhong's ears. Not daring to be negligent, I dispatched Shangguan Min and the others to kill the wolf."

Vice General Qin's words were sincere and not fake at all. Fang Zilan was silent for a moment, and then said, "You were in the barracks just now, why didn't you explain?"

"This..." Vice General Qin was stunned by her question, and he grabbed the rein in his hands a little bit uneasily, "Although there is a reason for this, what Mr. Fang said is not bad. We and Qi Canjun have selfish intentions. There is no need to deny it."

Although Deputy General Qin looked embarrassed, he spoke frankly, which made her chuckle involuntarily, "You are an honest person."

Deputy General Qin was puzzled seeing Fang Zilan's smile, and said in a low voice, "Master Fang, if you want to blame Shangguanmin..."

"What is the blame?" Fang Zilan interrupted him, smiling slightly, "Even if you have selfish intentions, what you did is not wrong. As a soldier, it is only right and proper to protect the people. Kind of thing. Since Shangguan Min can go to the battlefield, he can also kill wolves, there is no difference. He is a soldier, and it is natural for him to obey orders. What is wrong with you?"

"Lord Fang..." Deputy General Qin stared blankly at the person in front of him, but she still just smiled, "Besides, you have told the truth, so what can I blame?"

Seeing that Vice-General Qin was still in a daze, Vice-General Cao sighed suddenly, and slapped Vice-General Qin on the shoulder, "I said, what are you thinking, old Qin? Our boss is wise and reasonable, so follow her." .”

"Boss?" Deputy General Qin couldn't help but laugh when he heard Vice General Cao's harsh address, "Old Cao, you are too big or small, aren't you?"

"I asked them to call it that." Fang Zilan smiled even wider, "You can call it that if you want."

"Master Fang, let's forget about it?" Fang Zilan couldn't help shaking his head as Vice General Qin sat upright, "It's up to you, we..."

She hadn't finished speaking when she heard a piercing sound resounding through the sky. She suddenly raised her head and unsheathed the long sword in her hand, but her expression suddenly changed the moment she saw it clearly.
