When Awan was delivering the medicine, she saw Li Shengxuan sitting beside the bed, holding Fang Zilan's hand tightly, and felt a little unbearable.
She never thought that the always calm and self-possessed Emperor Dajing would have such a side.
Then she suddenly realized that the more resilient a person is, the easier it is for them to fall into a desperate situation.
"Chaos abounds in the capital. Neighbors are stirred up by the wind, and wars are raging. The people are in dire straits." Zhuge Yu slowly closed his eyes and said: "The prosperous age that lasted for three generations and countless people worked hard will be gone in an instant. .”
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, with a look of unbearability in her eyes, "Ayu, I'm telling you this not as an excuse to shirk responsibility, but it's just the fact that it cannot be tolerated by you and me..."
"Just because this is the case, Master Fang is going to let it go and go with the flow?" Zhuge Yu interrupted Fang Zilan's words sternly, his expression was solemn as never before, "If you eat the emperor's salary, you should share your worries and use the people's wages. Then you should ask for orders for the people. If not, what is the point of being an official?"
Meaning? Fang Zilan suddenly raised the corners of her lips and took the tea cup at hand, "Master Zhuge's words are worthy of my toast."
"Master Fang, you..." Zhuge Yu watched Fang Zilan finish the drink in one gulp, then slowly put down the teacup, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and saluted him solemnly, "Master Zhuge, please rest assured. I will try my best to fight for the White Jade Tiger Talisman, and even if it does not fall into my hands in the end, it will never fall into the hands of King Rongan."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu's expression became stern, he stood up and returned a salute, "With Master Fang's words, I feel relieved."
However, before he finished speaking, Awan ran in in a panic, "Fang Zilan, I saw..."
Her words stopped abruptly when she saw the people in the hall. Seeing this, Zhuge Yu said goodbye and left. Fang Zilan looked at her and handed her a cup of tea, "Who did you see? Are you so scared?"
Fang Zilan said in a daze: "King of Chujiang? There are so many documents to arrest him, how dare he show up in the capital?"
As expected, Mr. Zhuge had a clear face, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Based on his understanding of Fang Chongzheng, if it was related to the previous dynasty, he would not say anything even if it was for the sake of the Fang family. It's really surprising that he opened his mouth so easily today.
"I know that Mr. Zhuge's loss just now was just a means to find out the truth." Fang Chongzheng said meaningfully: "But I would rather believe that there is sincerity in it."
Mr. Zhuge subconsciously let go of his clenched fingers. Fang Chongzheng looked in his eyes, "After all, even in the past, there are always one or two people who understand the righteousness..."
"How can they be compared?" Mr. Zhuge suddenly interrupted him, his tone was a little excited, "He is the God of Killing. If it is related to him, it will be a major event that will turn the mountains and rivers into discoloration and the world will be turned upside down. Don't you know?"
"I believe her." Fang Chongzheng looked straight into Mr. Zhuge's eyes without fear, "Just like I believe in the God of Death you talk about, I believe in her."
Master Zhuge stared blankly at the person in front of him, as if he saw through him the young man Fang Chongzheng who stood in front of the old palace of the former court and spoke for General Pingnan, the general of Zhenbei, many years ago.
Many years have passed, and everyone thought that the once vigorous tiger and lion had lost its temperament and became unpredictable. However, they did not know that he was still the same as before, but that he had hidden his sharp edge, not that he had no temperament at all.
If someone tests him, he will still show his claws and claws, he is still a fierce tiger and lion, majestic and will not give in an inch.
But……
"Believe?" Mr. Zhuge repeated the word and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, your belief back then only resulted in continuous war."
Like a pebble thrown into the sea, Mr. Zhuge's words that almost exposed the scars did not make Fang Chongzheng lose his composure. On the contrary, he smiled and asked, "So what?"
Mr. Zhuge's expression changed slightly, he left a word of "take care of yourself" and walked away.
Fang Chongzheng looked at his back, and the smile on his face faded a little. The General Zhenbei and King Pingnan back then...
Everyone thought that he was defeated by Xia Yunzhao, and his generals were lost one after another. In the end, he could not stand up to him, and ended up dying in the deep sea across the earth.
The eager Jin people came upon hearing the news. At the critical moment, an unknown general suddenly appeared from the Qi family in the north and guarded the northern territory. If not, how could the Li family be able to secure the world? If the golden cavalry steps on it, there will only be a scene of broken mountains and rivers.
Then the general of the Qi family died suddenly overnight before Li's imperial decree of reward arrived, and he had to be buried with a generous burial and a posthumous name.
Later, the Qi family declined, and the once unknown general was gradually forgotten. General Zhenbei, King Pingnan, was given the title of former dynasty and became a hero in the storybook. The lady whose music was famous all over the world was no longer known to anyone. She had a disfigured face and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with a baby in her arms...
Fang Chongzheng slowly closed his eyes and allowed the past to reappear like a revolving lantern. What the world knows is only one-sided. In that case, why care?
Fang Zilan looked a little colder, "What did you say to King Chu Jiang's people before?"
"When we were in Jiangnan, the traces of King Chu Jiang were intermittent. The last time he was found was before King Rongan came to Beijing, and then he completely stopped." Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes and said: "By the time we found out, he had already He entered the capital without a trace."
"With the help of the Ghost Sect, it will be easy for King Chu Jiang to hide his whereabouts. Just try your best." Fang Zilan reassured, looked at Chu Bin and Awan and said, "What do you think?"
Awan hesitated and said: "When you were poisoned at the beginning of the year, I followed Master back to the Ghost Gate to get medicine, and I heard some things by chance."
Fang Zilan rested her chin on her hands and stared at Awan calmly, saying, "If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to, forget it."
"You have left me here, how can you allow me not to say anything?" Awan muttered in a low voice, then curled his lips and said: "I heard that because of the incident of King Rong'an being assassinated and suing the imperial court, everyone in the ghost sect started to complain. King Rongan has quite a few complaints, and I don’t know why the young master is holding back, but the young master has always said that he has his own plans. I’m wondering if it is the young master’s plan when King Chu Jiang returns to the capital?”
Fang Zilan pondered for a moment, the relationship between Ji Ningtian and King Rongan is quite secretive, and few people know about it even among the ghost sect. Therefore, it is reasonable for people in the ghost sect who do not know the truth to be dissatisfied. But with Ji Ningtian's temper, he would always return ten blows to others. He would rather be afraid of others than swallow his anger, and he would definitely not be soft on King Rongan.
Therefore, when King Chu Jiang returned to Beijing, he must have discovered something, and he was probably able to figure out what happened to King Rongan...
