Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1271 I knew it earlier

Fu Congnan coughed a few times. There was no trace of fear on his flushed face, but only a feeling of mad joy.

"This is not enough..." Fu Congnan coughed and looked at Li Qiyou, who had woken up, and said intermittently: "The Dugu family in the Western Region took advantage of the favorable location of Xiguan City to collect tolls from merchants. In this matter, the Fang family It should be the clearest.”

He took a breath and continued: "How much money has flowed into the pockets of the Dugu family, but outside Xiguan City, robbers are still rampant. The businessmen passing by are on tenterhooks and may be in danger of their lives at any time..."

"What did you say?" Li Qiyou's voice interrupted Fu Congnan's words. As soon as he woke up, hearing these accusations was like a bolt from the blue.

But Fu Congnan didn't give Li Qiyou time to accept it. He questioned word by word: "May I ask His Highness King Yucheng, is what the Dugu family did, was it a bandit act, or..."

"That's enough." Fang Zilan glanced at Fu Congnan, with murderous intent gradually rising in her eyes. She didn't know how Li Qiyou would react if he heard that the Dugu family was colluding with the robbers.

But she knew that no matter what the reaction was, she didn't want to see it.

"The suppression of bandits is not over as long as there is one bandit in the world." Fang Zilan heard her own voice, calm and restrained, "If it is not over, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the same as starting from the beginning. After all, there are twists and turns in it. The hardships cannot be seen by outsiders. Even so, the hard work behind it cannot be erased.”

She paused as she spoke, "Fu Congnan, not everyone is like you. They give up on something they can't do. Then they follow the trend, or even join in the trend, and they call it understanding of current affairs."

Hearing this, Fu Congnan sneered, "Miss Fang San, what benefits did the Dugu family give you to let you speak for them like this?"

Fang Zilan didn't say anything, she just walked to Fu Congnan, took the knife from Hongtai's hand, and said casually: "What do you think it is good for?"

"I don't think it's for the benefit, but for King Yucheng..." Before Fu Congnan could finish his words, Fang Zilan stabbed him again, exactly where Hongtai stabbed him before.

"I know what the world thinks of me, and I don't need you to repeat it." Fang Zilan twisted the handle of the knife casually, and the blade spun down, making Fu Congnan miserable, his expression twisted, but he still said harshly: "You...Uncle Li The canary raised by my nephew..."

Seeing this, Fang Zilan snorted, with disdain on her face, but her words were extremely solemn, "I am here for King Yucheng, but I am not trying to please and cling to him, but I don't want his sincere heart to be covered in dust."

Li Qiyou's expression froze, and Fang Zilan looked at him steadily and said seriously: "No matter what the Pei family and the Dugu family have done, it is all in the past. However, the road to becoming a king lies in the future."

Hearing this, Fu Congnan was startled, "What do you mean...?"

"If not, why do you think King Yucheng is here?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder, and Fu Congnan showed a look of disbelief, "You mean...impossible, this is impossible!"

He shook his head, but the wound was affected, and he bared his teeth and said, "The king of jade is as noble as gold, he won't..."

"Why wouldn't I?" Li Qiyou spoke slowly, and Fu Congnan's eyes darkened, "You are the hope of the Dugu family, there is no need to destroy your future and wade into this muddy water..."

"Zhou Lang, if the matter is exposed, your reputation will be ruined." Fang Zilan's expression turned cold and she said solemnly: "Even if you have great military exploits and are the commander of a battalion, you will not be able to survive."

She paused, with a sharp look in her eyes, "I advise you to think clearly before speaking..." "I thought clearly." Zhou Lang intercepted Fang Zilan's last words without hesitation, " No problem.”

Fang Zilan's hand holding the tea cup tightened, "Even if it involves the nine tribes and all the relatives around them die unexpectedly, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter." These two simple words made Fang Zilan unable to react for a long time. She relied on herself to save Zhou Lang's life. She originally thought of forcing him to join the game by taking advantage of her kindness, but she never thought that he would be so willing.

If Zhou Lang enters the game, it means that the Southeast Camp will also be involved, and the chance of winning will be greater. Correspondingly, the risk will be greater.

Now she doesn't know what kind of deal there is between the Miluo people and the bandits, and rashly dragging the Southeast Camp into it could easily give the Miluo people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After all, Mu Churui, the leader of the Miluo Kingdom, is not an easy person, nor is his young and romantic brother Mu Chuji, the King of Qi. If they knew that the southeast was full of chaos, and that the Jiangnan Camp and the Southeast Camp were in ups and downs, there was no guarantee that they would not send their troops northward, drive straight in, and capture Li Shengxuan who was in Jiangnan at this time...

"What are Master Fang thinking?" Zhou Lang's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts, and she calmed down, "I'm thinking, if I had known that General Zhou was so easy to talk to, I should have saved you more times to save favors. , leave it for later use.”

Zhou Lang smiled and said, "One life-saving grace is enough for a lifetime."

"General Zhou, your life is very long." Fang Zilan said noncommittally: "Your reward should not be used casually."

"This is not repayment." Zhou Lang suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Master Fang, I have been in the military for several years, and I have developed a certain perspective on people. I believe that you are better than all means and purposes. "

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and the ends of her eyes turned red unconsciously. After a while, she laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I have nothing now without the White Jade Tiger Talisman."

"The White Jade Tiger Talisman is just a dead thing. What it can do depends on the person who holds it." Zhou Lang said solemnly, word by word: "Today, even though you don't have the White Jade Tiger Talisman in your hand, I still believe in you. I am willing to die for you. This is my wish as Zhou Lang, not the promise of the commander of the Southeast Camp."

Fang Zilan was stunned. Zhou Lang saw her concerns, but did not express them directly. Instead, he told her in this way that he was willing to believe her unconditionally.

"However, although the general of the Southeast Camp cannot promise, I was not the only one who received favors from Master Fang during the battle in Qiluo City. Whether they are willing to promise or not is their business." Zhou Lang said, raising the question Lip corners.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan's eyes flashed with surprise, "You mean..."

Before she could continue, Zhou Lang nodded and said, "I will never forget the grace of saving my life, the righteousness of defending the city, and the loyalty of protecting the country, and neither will they."

"You guys..." Fang Zilan felt her eyes moistened and couldn't help but lower her eyes, avoiding Zhou Lang's sight, "Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"As a sergeant in the capital, you should fight for the people." Zhou Lang clenched his fists and said firmly: "Whether they are bandits or corrupt officials, as long as they harm the people, they should not be let go."
