The person leading the way stared at this scene in stunned silence. Awan said to him: "Brother, thank you for leading the way today. It's just that my sister is angry. If she destroys the fence, she will definitely attract the soldiers guarding her. I don't know what happened later." If something happens, you'd better go back first, so as not to accidentally hurt you."
"Okay... okay, I'll leave right away." The person leading the way muttered, turned around and ran away.
Awan walked to Fang Zilan and saw her hand holding the sword trembling slightly, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. Can they really make a way for everyone to survive?
Sure enough, the destruction of the fence quickly attracted the soldiers guarding nearby. They all wore thick scarves and stood outside the fence, pointing their weapons at Fang Zilan, "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you destroy..." "
Fang Zilan interrupted the soldier's call with a cold voice, "Tell Su Yun and Vice General Cao to see me within three days."
After saying that, she held the official's token in hand and walked directly to the fence step by step. With every step she took, the weapons of the soldiers outside retracted a little. When she reached the edge of the fence and was only one step away from them, they all took a step back in unison.
She stopped and stepped on the broken fence without going any further. Then she straightened her arms and displayed the Duke's token in front of all the soldiers, and said majestically every word: "Fang Zilan, Duke of Yue Kingdom in Dajing, now orders Su Yun, the special envoy to the southeast, and Cao Hong, the deputy general, to come here to meet you within three days. .If there is any violation, military law will be dealt with."
The soldiers outside looked at each other in confusion. It took a while for someone to respond, "Are you the Duke of Yue?"
Fang Zilan nodded and admitted, and then heard the soldiers outside chirping:
"Master Fang is okay?"
"Yes, didn't you say that Mr. Fang was infected with the epidemic and his life was in danger?"
"What's going on now? Didn't it say that the people inside were all infected with the plague, so they fenced it off?"
Seeing this, A Wan tugged on Fang Zilan's sleeve and whispered: "Who made up these rumors? Are there people who believe them even if they are spread by false rumors?"
Fang Zilan ignored her, but raised her voice and said to the soldiers outside: "Quiet, how inappropriate is it to make noise!"
As soon as she said this, the soldiers outside gradually became quiet, and they only heard her say: "I have not contracted the plague, and not everyone inside has contracted the plague, not to mention that the plague is not incurable. Now not only are there many People infected with the plague have been cured, and there are many more innocent people who are not infected with the plague, trying their best to help. So, you don’t need to panic."
"Master Fang, what you said...is it true?" One of the soldiers asked indifferently. The soldiers standing next to him gave him an elbow to signal him not to talk nonsense.
Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "Of course it is true. If you have relatives among them, you will be reunited with them soon."
Hearing what she said, most of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Some immediately said they would take her words back, but some were hesitant because she destroyed the fence.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will wait here for the two of them to come. Within three days, I will never step out of this place." Fang Zilan said lightly: "But if it is three days later, the two of them have not come yet. , then I can only go and use military law for them personally."
Her tone of voice when she spoke was very casual, but it clearly conveyed a sense of intimidation. After hearing this, the soldiers outside immediately turned around and left, not even a single person responsible for guarding was left behind.
Awan looked at their backs and asked dubiously: "Will these soldiers help you pass on your message? Even if these soldiers really send your message back, if King Rongan deliberately stumbled Master Su and Vice General Cao, they would What should I do if people can’t come?”
"Wait for three days. If Su Yun and Lao Cao can't come, I will go directly to them." Fang Zilan said matter-of-factly, but Awan was stunned, "Do you really want to..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly changed her voice, "Whether you have contracted the plague or not, as long as you walk out from here, it will be a disaster that everyone is afraid of avoiding. Not to mention if King Rong'an takes this opportunity Make a big fuss and let the plague spread, and then you will be the culprit who can't even explain it."
"So what?" Fang Zilan asked back: "Let King Rong'an cover the sky with just one hand? Even if I want to protect the Mo family, I am not such a protector of the law. If I blindly compromise and give in, King Rong'an will not just give in when he sees it. He It will only push you further.”
Awan bit her lip and listened as she continued: "I did not truthfully report the invasion of pirates to the capital, and I did not mention the spread of the plague because there was no evidence. However, my silence did not bring me glory. King An's self-discipline made him think that I was weak and could be bullied, and now he wants to burn me with him in a fire. Now that things have come to this, how can I satisfy him? Even if it means that everything is turned upside down and my body is shattered, I still want to do it. Bring him to be buried with me."
"But..." Awan hesitated for a moment, and finally said it, "I always feel that if you can't defeat King Rong'an, the best outcome would be to lose both sides."
Fang Zilan looked at her steadily, with a calm expression, "Why?"
"You want to protect the Mo family and everyone here, so you will never fight against any of them. But King Rongan is different from you." Awan paused, "Whether it is the Mo family or the All the people here are insignificant to him. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will kill them at will."
Her expression darkened a bit as she spoke, "I know you must know these principles better than me. However, you have already risked your life once to protect the people in the North. This time, I will definitely not be able to persuade you."
After hearing what she said, Fang Zilan suddenly raised the corners of her lips and chuckled: "Our little Awan has grown up."
A Wan looked at her confusedly, but saw the smile on her face became wider, "This time is different from last time. Last time I was alone, this time I have allies."
"What do you mean?" Ah Wan frowned slightly and listened to her explanation: "First of all, under the current situation, General Xiahou still sent people to find Miss Yan'er who is still alive and dead in Linjia Village. This shows that Miss Yan'er treats her very much. Important. If she knew the truth about the plague, how could she easily let King Rongan go? Secondly, Su Yun, as the special envoy to the southeast, not only caused an invasion of pirates during this inspection, but also a large-scale plague broke out. If Improper handling will definitely lead to public resentment. He is probably worried about how to report to His Majesty at this time, so how could he easily agree to such a hasty move as setting fire?"
There was a hint of confidence in her eyes that she was bound to win. "The fence has been built, but it has not been set on fire. It is probably the result of negotiations between multiple forces. After all, this is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people and a minister. It's easy to say that the fire will continue to burn, but the consequences are not something either of them can afford. Awan, do you still think that I will just risk it all this time? "
