Don't ask where people go

Chapter 48 Guarantee
"I told brother Min." Shangguan said loudly, "We also heard the sound of this bone whistle when we met wolves before, it was exactly the same."

"Before?" Qi Yuming's expression became even colder, "Then why have you all been safe and sound before, and nothing happened until today?"

"There were foreigners passing by every time before." Shangguan Kuo said while recalling, "They were all foreigners in Sanyuan Village."

"They are all from Sanyuan Village, and there are no other passers-by?" Fang Zilan just felt strange.

Shangguan Kuo nodded resolutely, "They are all from Sanyuan Village. Before we killed the wolf, we went door-to-door in Sanyuan Village to ask about the situation. Everyone in the village has seen them all, and they will not admit their mistakes."

"There are hundreds of families in Sanyuan Village, how do you know that you didn't admit your mistake?" Qi Yuming followed closely, and Shangguan Min snorted rather dissatisfiedly, "Ah Kuo is famous for his photographic memory. He said that if he didn’t admit his mistake, he didn’t admit his mistake.”

"Shuzi's words are not to be believed." Qi Yuming snorted coldly, and Shangguan Min just wanted to argue when he saw Fang Zilan standing in front of him, covering Qi Yuming's sight, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, Sanyuan Village everyone is suspicious."

"Master Fang, just based on the words of the wolves outside Sanyuan Village and these children, you believe that there are barbarians with evil intentions to make trouble?" Qi Yuming confronted Fang Zilan without leaving any room.

Fang Zilan didn't care, "Qi Canjun thinks I'm too hasty?"

"Yes." With just one word, Qi Yuming said it firmly.

Fang Zilan's eyes darkened slightly, "If Qi Canjun had really been in the northern border for several years, had heard about the twelve barbarians' invasion of the Dajing border, and had seen with his own eyes the appearance of the Jin people raging in the northern desert, they shouldn't have said the word rashly today. .”

She said every word with a solemn and majestic voice, "During the hundreds of years from the previous dynasty to the present, there has never been a day of real peace in the northern border. Even if the Jin people are gone today, who can guarantee the peace in the desert?" Won't the barbarian remnants make a comeback?"

"Since I was ordered to garrison the northern border, I must protect one side and keep everyone safe. I know how many people sacrificed their lives for the northern border to have what it is today, so I dare not slack off in the slightest. The tigers and wolves are outside, and the defenders I don’t dare not think about it. I think Qi Canjun should have a better understanding of this point than I do.”

"Mr. Fang's words are reasonable, but they are too dangerous." Qi Yuming's voice was a little lower, "Given the prosperity of the capital, all sides are friendly neighbors. The barbarians in the north are not ignorant of current affairs, otherwise Zhong How could your lord ask the emperor for them to set up Sanyuan Village?"

"Qi Canjun believes the people in Sanyuan Village?" Fang Zilan asked back with a half-smile, which made Qi Yuming stunned for a moment, "Master Fang doesn't believe it?"

Fang Zilan smiled slightly, with a look of arrogance that looked down on everything, "I have always only believed in myself. As for other people, it depends on what they have done, whether they are worthy of my trust."

"How can Mr. Fang trust the people in Sanyuan Village?" Qi Yuming frowned slightly, but Fang Zilan just smiled, "Qi Canjun is going to protect the barbarians in Sanyuan Village?"

She deliberately added the word "barbarian", and even bit the accent, so how could Qi Yuming not understand what she meant.

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, but this is the peace he has wanted to see since his father's generation. Even if there is only superficial peace, he can't just watch her ruin everything.

"So what if I'm the guarantor?" Qi Yuming agreed happily, and Fang Zilan felt an inexplicable determination in his words, which were obviously not sloppy at all.

She nodded slightly, "That's limited to one month. If there is no large-scale appearance of wolves within a month, and no one in Sanyuan Village is found to be related to the wolves, I will give up. But if there are still large-scale wolves If the group appears, I will thoroughly investigate the matter, and personally ask His Majesty to drive everyone in Sanyuan Village back to the desert, Qi Canjun, can you hear me clearly?"

Qi Yuming frowned again, "If there are still large-scale wolves appearing, but there is no evidence to prove that they are related to the people in Sanyuan Village, Master Fang also asks for an order to drive them away?"

Fang Zilan's voice was a bit cold, "I made it very clear. I would rather kill by mistake than let it go. This is my style. Everyone present today can be a witness. Fang Zilan will follow my words."

"Master Fang..." Qi Yuming was about to say something more when he was interrupted by Fang Zilan in a cold voice, "No wonder I didn't remind you, since I will be in charge of the affairs of the northern border from now on, it's better for Qi Canjun to get used to it as soon as possible."

Fang Zilan's sentence to kill chickens and monkeys was meant for everyone present.

However, her decisive decision to kill was extremely resolute, no one dared to refute for a while, and soon the lieutenants headed by the two lieutenants Li and Cao responded as if expressing their determination.

She waved her hand to signal them to silence, and then looked at Qi Yuming, "Qi Canjun, since you are the guarantor, you are fully responsible for this matter, if you need it, you can speak to me."

Qi Yuming knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so he agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Qi Yuming agreed, Fang Zilan asked the deputy officers who joined the army to do what they should do, leaving only Shangguan Min and the other three, saying that they had something to say to the three alone.

This group of people in the barracks of course guessed that this time the old and the new would change, and the old members of the Shangguan family would be dealt with. They could hide as far as they could, and scattered around, leaving the four of them in the tent.

"Shangguan Min, Shangguan Min, what's your name?" Fang Zilan glanced at the silent young man who had been hiding behind Shangguan Min. The young man still lowered his head and said nothing.

Shangguan Min moved his body a little, blocked the people behind him more tightly, cupped his fists and saluted, "This is Shangguan Mian."

"It's him I'm asking, not you." Fang Zilan's expression turned a little cold, and she reached out with the scabbard in her hand to push Shangguan Min away with the hilt.

"Get out of the way." Fang Zilan's expression grew impatient, but Shangguanmin suddenly grasped the hilt and subconsciously drew out the long sword. The tip of the sword was facing Fang Zilan's throat, but she didn't take a step back, " You want to kill me?"

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but she clearly showed disdain. Shangguan Min shook his head, "I can't kill you."

"I'm right in front of you now." She raised her hand as she said, and tapped the edge of the sword lightly with her slender fingers, "You only need to stab forward lightly and hard, and it will kill me."

Shangguan Min's hands trembled, and the tip of the sword drew a bloodstain on her neck.

She still stood there motionless, not even blinking.

All of a sudden, her five fingers suddenly tightened to hold the blade, and blood rolled down from her hand drop by drop.

She looked at Shangguanmin unconsciously, "If you want to kill me, this is your only chance."

　The road is long and difficult, whether it is Xiao Qi or Xiao Min, the road to go is very difficult...
