Chapter 134 Shangguan Lan's Confession
"Hey! Shangguan Lan, we are generals, please stop talking so fussy."
"Yun Wansheng, if I say something and you feel offended, don't get angry. Just pretend I didn't say it."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
"Then I'll tell you. Yun Wansheng, at first I thought you were married, so I didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about you.
But after these three years of getting along, I found that you don’t have anyone worth thinking about, which makes me feel a little bit of admiration for you.
You see, we are both quite old, why don’t we try dating?”
Shangguan Lan said cautiously and tentatively. After all, he was five years older than her, which made him very insecure.
Yun Wansheng didn't expect that this man would confess his love to her, which made her nervous. Just as she was about to say something, the door was suddenly slammed open, and then several masked men raised their knives and slashed at Shangguan Lan.
This sudden assassination made Shangguan Lan retreat repeatedly. Before he could counterattack, he heard several muffled sounds.
Then he saw several killers who had been murderous towards him just now falling to the ground one after another, which made him look at the woman opposite.
She just raised the hidden weapon and blew on it. The movement was graceful and beautiful, which made him laugh and feel jealous at the same time.
"Yun Wansheng, your hidden weapons are really powerful. Whenever you meet that ranger again, remember to buy one for me." Shangguan Lan said with a teasing smile.
"Okay! I will definitely buy it for you when I have the chance. Why do these people want to kill you?" Yun Wansheng's eyes were full of concern.
Shangguan Lan seemed to have guessed it correctly. Without asking a single question, he used the tip of his sword to poke open the shoulder of an injured assassin.
There was a wolf head tattoo on it. "Sure enough, it seems you have found me after all."
"Yan Ling, you can't escape. The clan leader has already issued a killing order for you. If we fail to complete the mission this time, others will come to take your life." The killer had evil in his eyes.
"You know best whether it was the order given by the patriarch." Shangguan Lan said in a cold voice, and then took the lives of the four people one by one with his sword.
Seeing him kill people, Yun Wansheng's eyes showed understanding: "Are they in the same group as those who killed you back then?"
"Well! It seems I have to be more careful next time." A cloud of gloom covered Shangguan Lan's face.
"As a general, why should you be afraid of them? At worst, you can just lead your men back and fight them."
"If only it were that simple, it would be easy to handle. These aren't just ordinary families, they're a large ethnic group. It's politically connected, so I can't just do whatever I want."
"It seems that you have an important status in that tribe, otherwise you wouldn't be hunted down by them."
"Well! I'm going to the capital in a few days. Marquis Weiyuan invited me to a celebration banquet." Shangguan Lan mentioned casually.
"He returned to the capital?" Yun Wansheng asked subconsciously.
"He will lead his army back in triumph the day after tomorrow. I will go to the capital to wait for him."
"It can be seen that the Marquis Weiyuan thinks highly of you."
"It's okay. He is also the most courageous man I have ever met. I admire him very much." There was respect in Shangguan Lan's eyes.
"Does he have it?" She didn't see it, it was almost like she was being arrogant and conceited, Yun Wansheng muttered in her heart.
Shangguan Lan did not hear the deep meaning in the woman's words, and just thought that she did not understand the general's character.
Afterwards, Shangguan Lan asked Manager Fang to go to the Grand Council to ask someone to deal with the assassin's body in the house, and Yun Wansheng also returned home.
After she left, Shangguan Lan went to the military camp and soon led his men to conduct a large-scale search of the entire Jinxi City. They arrested more than a dozen suspects and finally determined that five of them were in the same group as the assassin.
The news of the unification of the world spread quickly, which made the local people happy. No matter which country they were from, they did not want years of war. Living a stable life was the most important thing.
That day, Yun Wansheng was looking at the account book when Shangguan Lan arrived. After the maid brought tea, Yun Wansheng speculated, "Are you going to the capital?"
"Well! Let's go early tomorrow morning. If you have nothing to do, you can also go to the capital with me for a tour." Shangguan Lan planned.
"I won't go. The road is too far and it would be tiring to ride in a carriage." Yun Wansheng seemed uninterested.
"It's indeed a long journey. You must take good care of yourself while I'm away. If you need anything, just go find Master Li. I've already told him, and he promised to take care of you."
"Thank you. Be careful on the road and bring more people with you." Yun Wansheng said worriedly, thinking about what happened a few days ago.
"You don't have to worry about me. We're going to the capital to attend the royal celebration banquet. No matter how arrogant and ruthless those people are, they wouldn't dare to assassinate the heroes who are attending the banquet, unless they are prepared to be exterminated."
"That would make me feel more at ease."
Shangguan Lan smiled slightly, "Yun Wansheng, do you still remember what I said to you in the restaurant that day?"
"What?" Yun Wansheng didn't react for a moment. After she asked the question, she remembered what the man had said. This made her feel a little embarrassed and she lifted her hair on her forehead.
"Uh! Shangguan Lan, although I have never been married, I have been with a man and have a child with him, so we are not suitable for each other."
Shangguan Lan was slightly startled when she heard this, then she said softly, "I thought you had a man before, but I never thought you would have a child. But these things are all in the past. I won't care about your past. As long as we are fine in the future, that's all that matters."
"But I will care. Shangguan Lan, I don't want to be too blunt. We are best suited to be friends. There is no possibility of anything else."
She didn't believe that the men here could love a woman who had lost her virginity.
Maybe he doesn't mind it now, but when the passion and love fade away with time, they will face mutual harm.
Shangguan Lan looked at the woman with a serious face with a slightly deep gaze, as if what she said was not an excuse.
"Have you never forgotten that man? Is that why you don't want to accept other men's confessions?"
"No, I despise men like that. Right now, I just want to do my career well. I won't consider looking for a man for the time being."
"Yun Wansheng, I know what you're worried about, but I, Shangguan Lan, am definitely not the kind of man you think you'd despise once you've gotten me. If I really had that thought, I wouldn't confess it to you. After all, you saved me, so how could I repay a favor with evil?
It's not that I haven't had women chasing me over the years, and some colleagues have introduced women to me, but I rejected them all because I know what kind of woman I want, and those rich girls are not my type at all.
Maybe it was because my father hurt me so much that I felt disgusted with some women, but your appearance made me see that women are also different.
So, as long as you agree to marry me, I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life. You will be my only lover in this life, and there will never be another woman." Shangguan Lan said sincerely.
