"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan was stunned, but Awan did not answer her, but said coldly: "Don't ask more about things you shouldn't know."
Her appearance was so familiar to Fang Zilan, as if she was carved from the same mold as herself, so she laughed dumbly and said: "Little Awan, I have led you to bad things."
Awan kept a straight face and said nothing, and Fang Zilan laughed out loud, "That's it, Wen Ya may want to kill me."
"My master has wanted to kill you for a day or two." A Wan said angrily: "From the day the young master fell in love with you, my master has regarded you as a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people."
"That's good." Fang Zilan said nonchalantly: "It suits me to keep the evildoer for a thousand years."
"Okay." Awan got on his horse and prepared to leave, "I've rested long enough, it's time to go."
"I can't tell you are more anxious than me." Fang Zilan seemed to be deliberately trying to make excuses, and Awan simply stopped where he was, "If you change your mind, it's still too late to go back now."
She said and stretched out her hand. Fang Zilan stared at her white palm for a long time, but did not hand over the white porcelain bottle as she wanted. He just patted it gently and said, "Let's go."
"Fang Zilan, if I can't kill him..." A Wan chased after him, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan as soon as he spoke, "Then take me back for business."
She did not look back, her voice drifted in the wind, and Awan could not hear it clearly. Only the last sentence was firm and engraved in her heart.
"The peaceful and prosperous age that I have created with my sword will never be destroyed by anyone. If someone wants his life, he must ask me if I agree."
"Sure enough." Awan smiled and quickly chased after him.
The two traveled under the stars and at night, arriving before the Holy Emperor arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Fang Zilan contacted the sisters in Qianjinfang. She originally wanted to meet Zhen Mier and Wan Jun and investigate Chu Bin's whereabouts, but unexpectedly she received news of Li Shengxuan's attack.
"Where is Fang Zilan?" Awan looked anxious, but the woman in Qianjinfang in front of her looked calm, "Master ordered me to tell Miss Awan that she will come back as soon as she leaves. Please don't worry, Miss."
"Master?" Awan repeated the title, the look in his eyes getting colder, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Fang Zilan?"
"Miss Awan, she doesn't want to talk about the master's affairs. As a subordinate, you won't say much." The woman Shi Shiran bowed, "If you have no other instructions, miss, I will leave."
"I'm going to find her." Before Ah Wan could reach the door, she was stopped by the woman, "Miss Ah Wan, with my master's pace, you can't catch up at this time. You might as well stay here. It’s better not to cause any trouble.”
"Do you know that she is injured?" Awan's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, but the woman did not even frown, "So what?"
Awan's expression was stagnant. Before he could throw out the Chinese medicinal powder, he heard the woman say: "I heard that Miss Awan is not only proficient in medical skills, but also good at using poisons. The girl and I are of the same mind. If the girl wants to learn from each other, just take action. yes."
The opponent saw through the attack before he made a move. Awan panicked a little, but still said calmly: "In that case, I'll just wait here."
She watched the woman turn and leave, her heart skipping a beat. Fang Zilan's leg injury has not healed yet, and the poison on her body is not stable. At this juncture...
However, no one expected that the so-called attack would intensify. When Fang Zilan arrived, only Xia Houzhang was left to support Li Shengxuan.
"What a nonsense." Fang Zilan glanced at the person lying on the ground and had an idea. The people who attacked Li Shengxuan were either mountain bandits or rogue bandits. Their abilities were ordinary, but the advantage was their large numbers.
However, Li Shengxuan didn't take many people with him, and even the route of this trip was openly announced to the world. Isn't this an obvious way to attract people to kill him?
Using one's body as bait is such a good method and courage.
Fang Zilan gritted her teeth, drew her sword and rushed over. The moment she stood in front of Li Shengxuan, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "You are really here."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan became even more angry and stabbed the man who rushed forward with a sword, "With your Majesty's ability, you must have a backup plan. Even if I don't come, Your Majesty will be safe and sound." "
"Not necessarily." Li Shengxuan smiled and handed her something. "Then, return the item to its original owner."
Fang Zilan looked down and saw that it was her plum sword that Xie Yanping regarded as evidence. She frowned subconsciously, "Your Majesty..."
"Be careful!" The sword flashed past, and Li Shengxuan's sword protected Fang Zilan's head, blocking her from the attack.
"Your Majesty has good skills." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, but no emotion could be heard.
The smile on Li Shengxuan's face became even brighter, "It's quite inappropriate to be praised by you personally." His tone was leisurely, as if he was strolling in a garden to enjoy the scenery, without the slightest sense of urgency about his life hanging by a thread.
"I'm just stating the facts." Fang Zilan's voice was as cold as ice, and Li Shengxuan glanced sideways, "Are you angry?"
Fang Zilan did not respond and concentrated on fighting. In a short while, she had wiped out all the attackers, leaving only her, Li Shengxuan, and Xia Houzhang.
"The Jiangnan camp is not far from here. We will be here soon after getting the news." Fang Zilan put away her sword and said quietly: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Li Shengxuan raised his hand and wiped the blood on the sword, "Fang Zilan, Xia Houzhang is seriously injured. Do you feel free to leave me here with him?"
"Severely injured?" Fang Zilan looked at the trembling Xiahou Zhang beside him with a half-smile, "You don't have to pretend, Mr. Xiahou, in front of me? After all, I have fought against people from the Xiahou family..."
She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, and Xia Houzhang stood up straight, "What did you say?"
Fang Zilan knew she had made a mistake and said calmly: "I fought against General Xiahou when she entered the capital before. A strong general has no weak soldiers. How could the people she taught not be the opponents of mountain bandits?"
Xia Houzhang's expression changed imperceptibly, but Fang Zilan ignored his reaction and turned to look at Li Shengxuan and said: "The same is true for Your Majesty. Even though Your Majesty is not a man in the world, his skills are very comparable to others. If you are not a top expert, you will be injured." I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get to Your Majesty.”
"It's not easy, but it's not impossible." Li Shengxuan returned the sword to its sheath and looked a little more serious. "Since you are here today, I will tell you straight away. After this battle, the emperor of the capital, Li Shengxuan, disappeared and did not return until the truth came to light."
There was a look of shock in Fang Zilan's eyes that could not be concealed. She had thought about many possibilities, but she had never thought of this most risky possibility.
"Are you... crazy?" Fang Zilan heard her own voice, filled with disbelief.
Xia Houzhang stared and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Li Shengxuan's look, "Only by thoroughly muddying the water can we fish out all the fish. So, I need you."
