Don't ask where people go

Chapter 116
As soon as Fang Zilan and Zhuge Yu walked out of the house, they were surrounded by Dugu Xin, A Wan and Deputy General Cao who were waiting in the courtyard.

Dugu Xin showed eagerness, and even his tone was a little anxious, "Master Fang, what did Fang Liren say?"

Fang Zilan said quietly: "He said that the bandits who robbed Warners were northern barbarians who fled to the west."

Hearing this, Dugu Xin frowned, repeated the words "Northern barbarians", and said, "Master Fang is stationed in the northern border, do you know who these bandits are?"

"Fang Liren didn't say it very clearly, so I can only guess roughly. It's probably the remnant of Huyan Khan." Fang Zilan said every word carefully, and Dugu Xin couldn't ask directly, so he could only follow her words. "Master Fang, do you know where we should go to find these gangsters and rescue Warners?"

"If the barbarians from the north come here, they can only be robbers if they don't have a proper livelihood." Fang Zilan asked after a little thought: "Dare to ask General Dugu, have there been robbers near Xiguan City recently?"

"Most of the western borders are merchants from various countries. If there are more merchants, there will be more bandits. Although they have been killing them all the time, the bandits in the western border have never stopped. If Mr. Fang has no other clues, it may be difficult to investigate. "Dugu Xin's expression is obvious disapproval.

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "And it's a little suspicious that Warners was robbed. If ordinary robbers committed the crime, they would definitely ask for a ransom, but it's been more than half a month, and we haven't received any news , it's really strange."

Fang Zilan answered calmly: "It means that the robber's goal is not money."

"What is the robber's goal? Didn't Fang Liren say it?" Duguxin cast a suspicious look at Fang Zilan, then cast his gaze on Zhuge Yu, "Young Master Zhuge was also inside, did you hear anything?"

"Mr. Fang didn't say all he said, and he has something to hide." Zhuge Yu said, and bowed to Dugu Xin, "Mr. Fang is afraid that he has something to hide, but now he only trusts Mr. Fang, please allow Mr. Dugu to allow me to discuss with Mr. Fang. It’s not too late to save people after we have come up with countermeasures and asked everything clearly.”

"Not too late?" Dugu Xin snorted coldly, "Warners' life or death is uncertain, and the seal of the Sasanian family has been delivered to His Majesty. If the time to save people is delayed, Mr. Fang may bear the consequences?"

"Since Your Majesty has sent me here, I will bear the consequences no matter what." Fang Zilan's expression gradually turned cold, "I have some important matters to discuss with Mr. Zhuge, if General Dugu has nothing else to do, we will leave now .”

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the yard without looking back, Zhuge Yu followed after paying attention to the etiquette, A Wan and Deputy General Cao followed closely, and the four of them left Dugu Mansion like this, and stayed in the inn in Xiguan City.

After the four of them booked a room at the inn, Awan borrowed an excuse to fetch medicine for Zhuge Yu and dragged Deputy General Cao to the pharmacy, leaving Fang Zilan and Zhuge Yu looking at each other in the room.

It wasn't until Zhuge Yu broke the silence first, "Sister Lan is too impatient. Even if you don't want to tell General Dugu the truth, you shouldn't be angry with him."

"I didn't get angry with General Dugu." Fang Zilan denied it, Zhuge Yu smiled slightly, "I didn't get angry, why did you come to the inn?"

"I don't like to live under other people's roof." Fang Zilan was still stubborn, and Zhuge Yu didn't feel annoyed, "Let's just treat it as Sister Lan. Since Sister Lan has rejected Young Master Fang mercilessly, is there any chance?" Any other way to save Warners?"

Fang Zilan was stunned by his question, and murmured: "No."

Zhuge Yu smiled lightly, "If Sister Lan and Young Master Fang refuse to give in, and are unwilling to compromise with each other, then there will be an unsolvable deadlock."

"Ayu thinks that if I take a step back and am willing to exchange my life for Warners, will this matter end well?" Fang Zilan's face sank like water, and said in a cold voice: "The barbarians who fled outside are all desperadoes. Using the guise of revenge can't cover up their ferocious nature, bargaining with them is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers."

She paused as she spoke, "What's more, I am not related to Warners, so why would I trade my life for hers? My life is very precious."

Zhuge Yu sighed softly, "Young Master Fang is also forced to have no other way out. As long as there are other ways, he will not make a deal with the gangsters."

The corners of Fang Zilan's lips hooked slightly, and she smiled coldly, "Ah Yu, are you going to speak for Fang Liren?"

"Sister Lan just said what Mr. Fang said, every sentence is reasonable, but it is also a bit unreasonable." Zhuge Yu smiled, and said seriously: "Sister Lan, have you ever thought that if Mr. Fang Marrying Warners and giving up everything, is he still the Mr. Fang that Warners likes? It would be too petty to sacrifice all feelings of life and death."

"People are selfish, everyone wants to be a couple forever." Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "Some people try to control everything in vain, while others are willing to be puppets who lose themselves. Blame the Sassan family for being too possessive , and Fang Liren is not something in the palm of your hand."

"However, no matter how shrewd and cunning Fang Liren is now, he can't escape the net of love that binds him." Zhuge Yu's eyes were a little empty, with a look of absent-mindedness, "The word love really touches people's hearts."

Zhuge Yu's voice was very soft every word, as light as a feather scratching Fang Zilan's heart, the itch to speak was mixed with a quiet sting, which made her feel that her heart was less and less like her own .

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said: "Ah Yu looks like this, it seems that he has experienced love, and he looks away."

"I didn't look away." Zhuge Yu's voice was low, as if uncontrollable, some words escaped from his mouth involuntarily, "It's just that she said something similar to me before I went to the capital. If I go to the capital , that is, we will never see each other again in this life.”

"Ayu is going to the capital after all." Fang Zilan answered, with indescribable regret in her tone.

"That's right." Zhuge Yu had a wry smile on his face, "I thought she was just talking in a fit of anger, and I can still go back to see her after I become famous."

"She didn't speak in a moment of anger, but because she couldn't bear it because of her selfishness." Fang Zilan's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of deep meaning, and said: "She wants you to stay, but she doesn't want to erase your ambition. Disappointed, but there is still a glimmer of hope left. She left the choice in your hands, but she failed in the end."

Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan blankly, and murmured in a low voice: "Sister Lan thinks I have failed her?"

　In an unsolvable dead end, what is the best choice?
