"Before I came, Mr. Zhuge said that he would go to the palace and inform your majesty." Awan recalled the earlier scene and slowly said: "If it is really a pirate, I think your majesty will also inform General Xiahou. Just one sound?"
When she mentioned Li Shengxuan, Fang Zilan suddenly remembered the eight-hundred-mile expedited letter she had read in the imperial study that day.
At that time, she felt that King Rongan was going to rebel. Firstly, Mo Bin was his general, and secondly, his fiefdom was on the only way from Mushan Pass to the capital. Only he could block the news. …
The fiefdom... She had an idea, and King Rongan's fiefdom was near the sea.
Not only that, but Li Shengxuan had told her that King Rong'an had great face. If pirates sneak into his fiefdom and cause trouble, he will appear incompetent if he directly asks the court for help, and he will definitely lose his face.
After all, since Xiahou Yunzhao returned to the capital, he has not killed pirates more than once or twice. Since her killing, there has been no news of the pirates making trouble for more than ten years. It is known that her ruthless methods made the pirates lose their ability to cause trouble.
This makes sense. The Xiahou family left office and stayed in the old land of Baiyue. Her successor, who had no foundation, did not give King Rongan an opportunity to rebel, but gave the sea pirates a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
Seeing her wandering mind, Awan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, "Fang Zilan?"
"I've almost guessed something." Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Deputy General Cao and asked, "Old Cao, do you know who the generals under King Rongan are? Are there any other powerful ones besides Mo Bin?"
Hearing this, Deputy General Cao said helplessly: "Boss, don't tell me. Except for Mo Bin, none of the generals under King Rong'an can resist."
Although Fang Zilan had made a rough guess in her mind and was somewhat mentally prepared, when she heard Deputy General Cao say this answer, she still couldn't help blurting out: "What did you say?"
"This is reasonable." Vice General Cao sighed and explained: "After all, King Rongan's fiefdom is in the southeast, very close to Xiahou's family. With General Xiahou in charge, there is no need for King Rongan to do anything. What's more. What's more, the prince is also a happy man. Most of his generals are noble sons of aristocratic families and have no real abilities. Even Mo Bin, although he was a general who was surrendered by the previous dynasty, he is still someone who has been on the battlefield. It can be used."
"Isn't King Rong'an the brother of Emperor Tai'an?" Awan asked curiously, "Emperor Tai'an was the one who took over the country from Ji's hands. He was very majestic during his lifetime in the army. How could his brother be so peaceful? host?"
"It is precisely because Emperor Tai'an is so powerful that King Rong'an is well protected." The person who answered her was Fang Zilan, and Vice General Cao nodded in agreement: "That's true."
"If A Yu's information is accurate, no wonder the pirates will sneak into Mushan Pass to control Mo Bin." Fang Zilan had a calculation in her heart, but suddenly remembered what Li Shengxuan said - Mo Bin's rebellion must be suppressed.
Moreover, Li Shengxuan also said that there was no need to keep the entire Mo family.
If it is true that the pirates control Mushan Pass and threaten King Rongan to block the news, is Mo Bin collaborating with the pirates to help others, or is he willing to fight to the death?
If it's the latter, I'm afraid Mo Bin is already in serious danger, and the entire Mo family is even more in danger.
But if it’s the former…
Fang Zilan didn't dare to think about what kind of chaos Mushan Pass would be now.
She was so distraught that she made a decision immediately: "Old Cao, it's not too late. We'll rush to the southeast camp overnight."
"Overnight?" Vice Admiral Cao was slightly stunned, but seeing Fang Zilan's serious expression, he nodded quickly and said, "I'll go get the horse right now." After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
"Fang Zilan, I'll go with you." A Wan looked firm, and Fang Zilan's expression turned colder, "A Wan, you go back to Beijing..."
Before she finished speaking, her body trembled. Awan quickly held her arm and said in a panic: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm very dizzy." Fang Zilan put her hand on her forehead and moved a few steps with Awan's help to sit at the table. "I'll just sit down and it'll be fine. It's nothing serious."
"Liar." Awan pulled her wrist without any explanation, and carefully checked her pulse for a moment, but her expression changed, "You...are poisoned?"
Awan's unsure tone also surprised Fang Zilan, "What did you say?"
"Your pulse is very strange." Awan frowned and said, "It seems smooth on the surface, but in fact there is something strange. Although you are poisoned, it should never be like this."
"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan was confused, and Awan looked at her intently, "What did you eat and drink this day?"
"It's nothing special. I've only been out for most of the day, and I haven't eaten or drank outside." Fang Zilan shook her head and thought about it carefully. Suddenly she remembered the cup of tea that Cong Rong handed her last night, and her expression changed involuntarily, "Cong Rong Rong’s tea.”
Awan asked eagerly: "What kind of tea?"
"It seems to be just ordinary jujube tea. There is nothing special about the sweetness in the mouth." Fang Zilan also felt strange in her heart. Although she was not very knowledgeable about medicine, she had been involved in the underworld for many years and had done a lot of poisoning. She knew some medicines. , especially poison.
But that cup of tea, no matter the appearance or smell, looks flawless now that I think about it. What's more, Cong Rong had no reason to poison her.
"Fang Zilan?" Awan still held her wrist tightly, "Think carefully, when did you drink the tea? And when did you start feeling dizzy?"
"When I went to see Cong Rong last night, I drank a cup of tea from her." Fang Zilan looked gloomy, "I feel dizzy. I guess it was when I just left the city this morning."
"It shouldn't be." Awan looked confused, "If you were poisoned, it wouldn't happen after such a long time. What's more, you have poison, and your reaction to poisoning is much faster and more severe than ordinary people. .But now you have no other symptoms besides dizziness. What’s the point?”
"It's probably not poisoning." Fang Zilan raised her hand and pressed her temples, and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"What do you know?" Awan let go of his hand angrily, "If you really know what's going on, you should let me go with you."
Fang Zilan hummed lightly, "It's up to you."
"Fang Zilan." Awan called her name repeatedly, and she felt relieved and smiled reassuringly, "When things happen in the southeast, we will go back and find out. If there is really something wrong with Cong Rong, I will not forgive him. She. Awan, I believe in you, and you should also have confidence in yourself and me."
Awan took a deep breath and exhaled with relief, "If I can't do it, I can't let you live a long life, and I regret it and am unwilling to sacrifice my life for you, will you still believe me?"
