Riding her horse all the way north, it was already dawn when Fang Zilan arrived at Yanzhou City. The overwhelming smell of blood made her frown. There were stumps and broken bodies everywhere. It seemed that a fierce battle had just occurred here, and Fang Zilan was heartbroken. I thought to myself.
"Who is it?" There was a soldier cleaning the battlefield beside the city gate. When he saw Fang Zilan not far away, he couldn't help but look wary. Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that there was someone here.
The next moment, Xiao Bing looked at the bright dagger next to his neck, and his body couldn't help shaking violently. He hadn't seen the person clearly yet, but his life was in the hands of the person in the blink of an eye. This speed was really incredible.
"Where is Prince Xiang?" The voice behind him sounded coldly, and the soldier trembled even more, "Your Highness... Your Highness is now trapped in the Wind River Valley..." He fell over as soon as he finished speaking, and at the same time, Fang Zilan held the The dagger also fell to the ground with a clang.
Did she kill someone? Fang Zilan looked at her hands. There was no trace of blood on her white and slender fingers, but she had indeed killed someone. The words "life is like a piece of grass" appeared in her mind. She squatted down suddenly, gasping for air, and slapped her cheeks hard.
Fang Zilan, wake up. None of this is true. Stop dreaming. She closed her eyes and tried to escape from all this, but she clearly heard a voice in her consciousness mocking her coldly.
who? Fang Zilan suddenly opened her eyes and stood up. Except for the gradually cold corpse, there was no one around her.
If you don't kill him, he will kill you.
Who are you? Fang Zilan vaguely felt that her time travel was definitely related to this person.
You should have guessed, I am you and you are me.
impossible. Fang Zilan looked at the corpse in front of her. The blood at her feet was still warm, but he was already dead.
Nothing is impossible, you live for me and I tell you everything you want to know.
I can not do it. Fang Zilan lowered her head. She couldn't accept everything in front of her. In the previous world, she was just one of thousands of people. The blood and death of war were all too far away from her.
Then you can die here. The tone was still mocking, but it made Fang Zilan feel inexplicably unwilling.
It's not your turn to decide my life yet. She heard the voice in her heart, every word clear. She said I will live, but not for you, for myself.
After calming down, Fang Zilan slowly squatted down and took off the soldier's armor. Her hands holding the armor were trembling, but she gritted her teeth and finally put on the armor.
Now that you have decided, live well. She didn't know what happened in Fang Zilan's past, but she was the owner of this body now, and she would not let anyone dictate her destiny.
After changing her armor, Zi Lan sneaked into the military camp. She felt strange along the way. She had heard that King Xiang was trapped in the Wind River Valley and Yanzhou was in emergency. However, when she came to Yanzhou, she found that there were still a large number of defenders in Yanzhou City. There's nothing urgent about it.
However, the soldier she killed also said that King Xiang was trapped in the Wind River Valley. This news could not be wrong. Since Yanzhou was not in emergency, why didn't the Yanzhou defender send troops to rescue King Xiang? Could it be...
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Fang Zilan couldn't help but frown. If she really guessed it right, it wouldn't be fun. Fang Zilan was just thinking when she heard people around her say that the general wanted troops, so she hurriedly followed everyone to the school ground.
There were two people standing on the high platform in the school grounds. Judging from their attire, they must be generals, but one of them looked unusually young, in his early twenties. While Fang Zilan raised her head and looked at the people on the high platform, she secretly guessed that the reason why the general ordered the troops had something to do with the trapped King Xiang.
Sure enough, the general on the high platform ordered three thousand troops to go to the Wind River Valley to rescue King Xiang. Three thousand? Fang Zilan couldn't help but be speechless when she heard this number. It seemed that she had guessed correctly. Someone wanted to kill King Xiang.
It is said that the situation in Yanzhou is urgent now, and there is really no manpower available. Judging from her observation, there are not only local defenders in Yanzhou City, but also other reinforcements from unknown places. Not to mention sending three thousand troops, even if it is It is not difficult to send 30,000 troops.
Fang Zilan couldn't help but sigh secretly. Wu Qing said that the young master wanted her to help King Xiang, but now the life or death of King Xiang is uncertain...
No, since that young master would send her here, he probably knew something would happen to Prince Xiang and sent her on a mission, so there was no way he wouldn't tell her anything. In other words, she should know something.
The thoughts in my mind gradually became clearer, and some scattered clues gradually came together.
The young general on the high platform was surnamed Shangguan. He was a member of the Shangguan family, one of the nine princes. The Shangguan family belonged to the Yucheng Wang sect. In a daze, Fang Zilan felt that something was emerging in his mind, some memories belonging to the owner of this body. , gradually became clear.
The name of this dynasty is Dajing, and King Xiang is the youngest brother of the current emperor Ningshun, who was deeply loved by the late emperor Tai'an.
When Emperor Tai'an died, he originally wanted to pass the throne to King Xiang, but considering that he was still young and feared that he would not be able to secure the throne, he passed the throne to Emperor Ningshun. When the throne was passed, he ordered Emperor Ningshun to pass the throne to Emperor Ningshun a hundred years later. To King Xiang.
Now that Emperor Ningshun is seriously ill, he is afraid that his time is running out, and the princes under him are not economical lamps. The battle for the throne is imminent, and there are probably many people who want to support the king.
Fang Zilan recalled and thought about her situation. The young master Wu Qing talked about seemed to have saved her life, and now it seems that he is also involved in the battle for the throne, but he wants her to help King Xiang, that is, he needs King Xiang to be alive, and as long as King Xiang is alive He can naturally inherit the throne while he is still alive. Could it be that he belongs to King Xiang's faction?
Thinking like this, Fang Zilan gently rubbed the center of her brows. She shouldn't have a headache. She was not a sophisticated person to begin with, but now that she was involved in such a complicated battle, she felt so tired.
Although the fight for the throne in novels and TV shows was thrilling in the past, she always watched the fun with the mentality that it was just for the masses to watch. But now that she is in it, she really feels what it means to walk on thin ice.
Fang Zilan sighed helplessly. Fang Zilan felt that she sighed more times every day here than she used to sigh in a year.
"Zhang San?" "Ah?" Fang Zilan responded subconsciously. After she sneaked in, she specifically inquired. The name of the soldier she was replacing was Zhang San. It used to be the Chinese teacher's favorite name when giving examples, but now it is used in On her.
"Ah, what? Hurry up and get over there." The centurion who called the name looked displeased. Seeing this, Fang Zilan hurriedly ran over. Only then did she realize that she had already joined the group of three thousand people who were going to die. It's good now that we don't have to think hard about how to follow them to Wind River Valley.
But the leader... Fang Zilan looked at the figure sitting on the tall horse at the front of the queue, and it was General Shangguan. It is true that he will not give up until he achieves his goal. This Shangguan general personally led the team just to confirm that King Xiang must die, but...
Fang Zilan thought about it again, but something still wasn't right. There were only three thousand people. How could General Shangguan guarantee that he could escape unscathed? Fang Zilan had doubts in her heart, but after hearing the order for the troops to set off, she hurriedly followed the others and headed towards the Wind River Valley.
The terrain of the Wind River Valley is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack, so His Highness Prince Xiang can hold out until reinforcements arrive. When Fang Zilan heard this report from the deputy general next to General Shangguan, she had a suspicion in her heart. If General Shangguan could go into battle in person, he must have left a way out for himself. Since King Xiang can hold out until reinforcements arrive, so can he, and it is estimated that there will only be more reinforcements by then. What she has to do now is to ensure that King Xiang can hold out until that time.
Three days. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Fang Zilan suppressed the shock in her heart. Such an almost intuitive thought made her a little scared, as if there were some things she already knew, but how could it be possible? Planning strategies has never been her thing, but now she is very sure that reinforcements will arrive in three days.
"General, the Wind River Valley is here!" Hearing this, Fang Zilan looked not far away. There were many war horses and golden armor, it was the army of the Jin people. If you want to save King Xiang, you can only fight a bloody road. Fang Zilan's heart sank, and her hand holding the sword tightened involuntarily.
The sound of killing was endless, people kept falling in front of her, and people kept charging towards her with weapons brandished. They blocked, dodged and swung their swords, all movements seemed to be instinctive.
However, she could feel her heart beating like a drum, and she was resisting all of this. However, she didn't want to die yet and couldn't die, so she had to let the other person die.
Standing in front of King Xiang's tent, Fang Zilan seemed to have lost her soul. The fierce battle just now left her with lingering fears. Looking at the blood stains on the armor, Fang Zilan clenched her fists subconsciously. She had no way to accept it but had to accept it. She could no longer accept it. Weakness also knows that reality cannot be escaped.
Since you were able to fight your way out just now, you can also survive in this era in the future.
"Your Highness, Yanzhou is in an emergency right now and we really can't send many troops." General Shangguan's voice came from the tent, and then Fang Zilan heard a gentle male voice say calmly, "It doesn't matter, General Shangguan, thank you for your hard work."
Is the speaker the King Xiang? Fang Zilan was thinking when she saw two people walking out of the tent one after another. The leading man was wearing black and gold armor that was cool and dazzling. However, when he saw his face clearly, Fang Zilan was a little distracted.
With his slender eyebrows and fair and clean face, he is not a stunning face, but he is as gentle as jade. If he were not wearing armor now, she would really think that this is a noble young master from some family. .
Such a person can actually kill people. Fang Zilan smiled bitterly in her heart, the daughter of a wealthy family like her was a killer, let alone a prince like Prince Xiang.
Be sober and don't be deceived by his appearance. Fang Zilan's clenched fists couldn't help but tighten a little more.
