"If King Rong'an is really involved in this matter..." Fang Zilan did not continue, Li Shengxuan understood clearly, "I know that this matter is strange, and King Rong'an would not be so blatant even if he wanted to. But Mo Bin's rebellion must be Be even.”
"I have heard a little bit about Mo Bin. I heard that he was also a member of the former King Pingnan, and later submitted to the capital." Fang Zilan said every word carefully, "His rebellion..."
"It's also very strange." Li Shengxuan said: "If Mo Bin was loyal to the previous dynasty, he could have died to express his will. Why should he submit to the capital? Now a rebellion is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. In addition to losing the lives of his family and children, , no more benefit.”
Fang Zilan's face was dark and unclear, and Li Shengxuan lowered his eyes to look at her, "Fang Zilan, are you afraid?"
She didn't answer, her lowered head and silence seemed more like acquiescence.
"You can go with peace of mind. General Xiahou and Xie Qing will not sit idly by. With them helping you, no matter what the situation is, you can just break through." Li Shengxuan lowered his voice a little and said gently: "It really can't be done, and there are still I'm here to support you. I can handle Prince Rong'an and Mo Bin."
Fang Zilan raised her head and met his eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in a weak tone: "King Rong'an... is your Majesty's uncle."
"So what?" Li Shengxuan looked arrogant, "If he relies on his old age and betrays his old age, harming the country and the country, I will not spare him."
He spoke solemnly every word, "Fang Zilan, listen carefully. Between all the people of the country and the rich and powerful, my choice will always be the former."
"I understand." Fang Zilan responded solemnly, knelt on one knee and said: "Fang Zilan, Duke of Yue State, has accepted the order and will put an end to the chaos at Mushan Pass. Your Majesty, please wait for good news."
"Okay." Li Shengxuan bowed and helped her up, "Mo Bin rebelled, and there is no need to keep the entire Mo family."
Fang Zilan nodded in agreement, and Li Shengxuan said as if he was remembering something again: "I order Zhuge Yu to go with you."
"That's not necessary." Fang Zilan refused: "Master Zhuge is not in good health and should not be tired from traveling around. He had already worked hard enough in the northern border to fight against the bandits in the western border, but this time it was just a small Mushan Pass. I still can't do it. If you can handle it, you don't need to bother him. Besides, the news of Mo Bin's rebellion has not spread yet. If more people go, it will be easy for those who are interested to take advantage of the loopholes, which will be bad."
"It's okay." Li Shengxuan didn't insist. He saw her strength in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He knew that she could stand alone.
But he still couldn't help but give a few more words, "You must remember to conceal your identity along the way, and don't alert the enemy. When you arrive at the southeast camp, my people will be there to help you. By then, with the white jade tiger talisman, you can order the three armies to quell the chaos. .”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am sensible." Fang Zilan bowed his hands and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Fang Zilan, be careful in everything. I am waiting for your safe return in Qiankun Palace." As soon as Li Shengxuan said these words, he felt a faint regret in his heart. Such sloppy and careless chatter should not have come out of his mouth.
"I know." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said confidently: "If you perform your duties to the best of your ability, your Majesty can trust me."
Li Shengxuan was slightly stunned. It turned out that she remembered everything he said. It's just that what he thinks about her can't be explained clearly in just four words: "dedication to one's duties"?
He suppressed all his expressions and whispered: "Go ahead."
Fang Zilan turned around and walked out of the imperial study. She saw Deputy General Cao waiting for her at the palace gate, "Boss, what happened?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back home." Fang Zilan looked wary, and Vice General Cao didn't dare to say anything for a while and followed her away.
As soon as the two returned to the house, they entered the inner room. Awan followed them in, also with a serious face, "His Majesty summoned you to the palace, but what happened?"
"Mo Bin, the guard at Mushan Pass, rebelled. His Majesty asked me to quell the rebellion." Fang Zilan's concise and concise words made both Deputy General Cao and Awan panic.
"Rebellion?" Awan was dumbfounded, and Vice Admiral Cao looked solemn, "Why isn't there any news in the capital?"
"This matter is strange, and I can only know the inside story when I get to Mushan Pass." Fang Zilan sighed softly, "It hasn't spread yet, so we can't alert the snake. Without further ado, I will take Lao Cao to the southeast camp tomorrow."
"What about me?" Awan grabbed her sleeve, "I want to go with you."
"Miss Cong is here at home. She will give birth in two months. You can stay here to take care of her." Fang Zilan said matter-of-factly, but Awan was reluctant, "I have already found a doctor for her, why do you still need to take care of her?" Should I stay and take care of her?"
"Be obedient." Fang Zilan held Awan's hand, "I don't know how long it will take to get there. Not to mention the chaos and danger. If you stay in the capital, there will be..."
She stopped talking, swallowed the word "Wen Ya" forcibly, and said softly: "I feel relieved that someone in the family will take care of you."
"No." Awan shook off her hand, "If I stay, who will take care of you? What if..."
"Nothing unexpected." Fang Zilan interrupted her, "Awan, I said, we will all live a long life."
Awan looked at her steadily and said seriously: "Okay. Fang Zilan, if you can't come back alive and well, I will die with you. Even if you become a ghost, I will not let you go."
She spoke so harshly every word that even Lieutenant General Cao couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine after hearing this. He calmly said in a dry voice: "Miss Awan, don't worry."
"And you." Awan looked at Vice Admiral Cao, "You must come back alive and well. I will wait for you at my house."
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips, "With little Awan in mind, we will definitely return safely."
Awan turned away, her expression dimmed a little, and she muttered: "You also said you wanted to go to the outskirts of Beijing with me to enjoy the flowers..."
"You can't enjoy spring flowers." Fang Zilan tilted her head and gently scratched her nose, "But there are still summer lotus, autumn osmanthus and winter plum. The future is long. Awan, wait for me to come back."
Awan was silent for a while, then reached out and hooked Fang Zilan's finger, "We agreed, I'll wait for you to come back."
Fang Zilan hummed solemnly, "I'll go see Miss Cong and talk to her."
"At this time, Miss Cong is probably asleep, right?" Awan frowned slightly, and Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows lightly, "Who knows, I'll go and have a look. If Miss Cong is asleep, you can only tell her tomorrow and let her know. He said that I would go to the village outside the city to handle some matters and it would take a while before I could come back."
Awan nodded and said, "Okay."
Fang Zilan frowned and thought, then added, "Awan, you go to Zhuge's house tomorrow to see Ayu, and tell him that I am going to clean up the village outside the city. It will take a while before I can return to the capital. He needs to worry more about the government affairs." .”
