Don't ask where people go

Chapter 874
"Now that I think about it, I care about me." A Wan sighed helplessly, "You still say that others are brave, but I think you are the most brave one. Do you know how scared I was just now?"

"A Wan can't trust me?" Fang Zilan's tone was full of teasing, making A Wan shake her head involuntarily, "What are you showing off? If it wasn't for the last sword that shocked the assassin, you would be the one who died gone."

"What do A Wan think of that sword?" Fang Zilan didn't feel annoyed, and looked at A Wan with a smile, only to see that she shrank her body into the cloak, and said in a muffled voice: "It's good, it's really good, it's more lethal and less deadly." One point is insignificant, worthy of being number one in the world.”

Fang Zilan squatted down, with a smile on her face, "It's rare for us, Awan, to praise me so bluntly. What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just felt that I underestimated you before." A Wan turned her head away, not daring to look directly into her eyes, "I used to hear Master say how powerful the venom is on you, and I always thought that it was because of the venom that you were able to monopolize the number one in the world." Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that if this Gu poison is put on other people, they may not be number one in the world."

"Awan?" Fang Zilan called her name uncertainly.

She turned her head to look at Fang Zilan, with a complex expression on her face, "It is not a one-day achievement to be able to achieve such a level only by recovering strength, without even a single bit of internal energy. It is indeed remarkable to be able to practice to this level."

When she said the last sentence, the expression on her face faded, and was finally replaced by relief, with a flash of admiration and envy in her eyes.

Fang Zilan wanted to say something when she heard A Wan's voice again, "This is the first snow in the northern region this year. It really is different from the capital."

It was still a childlike crisp and sweet voice, but for some reason, Fang Zilan always felt that the Awan in front of her tonight was different from the chattering little girl beside her.

Awan's deep appearance made her suddenly understand that everyone in the ghost gate, regardless of age, is different from ordinary people.

The stall owner looked like a pedantic, Fang Zilan took out a piece of silver and put it in the stall owner's hand.

The stall owner happily put it away, and then opened his mouth again, "You two guests, do you know the owner of Jinxi Building, Huo Sanniang? She was the chief oiran in Fireworks Lane more than ten years ago, and even Lord Zhao Jinqian was once her Benefactor, Lord Lu Tang also fell in love with Huo Sanniang at that time."

"But I haven't heard that Huo Sanniang has ever married someone?" A Wan asked while eating wontons, and the stall owner happily answered her: "Master Lu Tang really wants to marry Huo Sanniang, but he comes from a famous family, and his family members How could you allow a firework girl to enter?"

"Lord Lu Tang, his family has been officials for generations, his father is a general under Lord Shangguan Jing, and his uncle, Lord Lu Zhizhang, is the inspector of Yanzhou. His status is no less than that of Lord Zhong Yao."

"But he wholeheartedly wanted to marry Huo Sanniang, and even invited an old lady from the Shangguan family to redeem her and his younger sister, and they entered the Shangguan family as maids."

"However, who would have thought that the son of the old Mrs. Shangguan raped Huo Sanniang's younger sister, and Huo Sanniang finally escaped. Since then, she was disheartened and vowed not to marry in her life, and opened Jinxi Building to make her business a success." Raw water."

The stall owner said very embarrassingly, but Fang Zilan listened with great interest, "You said that Lu Tang likes Huo Sanniang, so why didn't he redeem her for himself? If he redeemed for Huo Sanniang and his sister himself, how could he cause trouble in the future? This disaster?"

"This..." The stall owner was speechless for a moment.

Fang Zilan continued on her own, "Besides, with the power of the Shangguan family, how could Huo Sanniang escape and open the Jinxi Tower by herself? I think Lu Tang did a lot of help behind the scenes. Don't, you can't stand up when people need you the most, and you only know how to make up for it afterwards. How can you call it a kind of love? To Lu Tang, it was just a romantic affair when he was young, but to Huo Sanniang, it was a lifelong affair. scars."

"My guest officer, what you said is wrong." The stall owner shook his head disapprovingly, "Lord Lu Tang had no choice but to do so, otherwise, which man would just let his beloved woman be bullied?"

"No one would know the pain if the knife didn't hit him." Fang Zilan slowly took a bite of the wonton. "Once you know it hurts, you will shrink back. Both men and women are selfish."

The stall owner was amazed, "It's the first time I've heard someone say that about Mr. Lu Tang in so many years. It's really fresh."

"Fresh is fresh, I didn't say anything today." Fang Zilan raised her head and glanced at the stall owner, who nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the wontons at the stall are said to be fresh by all the guests who have eaten them. Use it slowly, and the small ones won’t bother you.”

"You're clever." A Wan took a sip of the soup, lazily put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Give me another bowl of wonton."

"Okay." The stall owner responded, turned around and went to the stove to cook wontons.

A Wan looked at the stall owner's back, and smacked her lips with unsatisfied intentions, "Do you think that Zhong Yao captured Huo Sanniang, and Lu Tang would come to us to save Huo Sanniang?"

"Not only for Huo Sanniang, but also for himself." Fang Zilan stirred the wonton soup in the bowl with a spoon, and the clear soup became cloudy under the action of external force, "Huo Sanniang's shady business, Who do you think is backing her up? The water is muddy, and no one can wash it clean."

A Wan looked hesitant, and even lowered her voice a little, "But I remember the young master said that when the water is pure, there will be no fish. No one is really clean."

Fang Zilan stopped, threw the spoon into the bowl, and said in a cold voice: "Even if they are not clean, if they all come at me and do some nasty things to me, I'll just go back. But in order to deal with I have killed many irrelevant people, since they have forgotten the dignity of the rich and powerful, then I will not be merciful and let them do harm to one side."

Seeing Fang Zilan's killing intent, Ah Wan tugged at her sleeve involuntarily, and said softly: "Okay, I know that although our hands are not clean, who doesn't want to be a good person anymore, let's talk after eating." .”

Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "Awan, what do you think is clean? Things in this world are never black and white, and most of them are involuntary."

"I understand what you said." A Wan looked at the chopped green onions floating on top of the soup in the bowl, "It's like this bowl of wontons, you won't know what the wontons under the soup are like unless you try them yourself, but the chopped green onions that can be used to decorate the front are You can see it at a glance, even if you don’t eat it, you have to put it on the surface to look good. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Isn’t this kind of saying the same as the green onion on the soup, for the sake of appearance?”
