"I hope you can escape unharmed." Li Shengxuan said, taking Fang Zilan into his arms and whispering in her ear: "You can leave at any time. This is my selfish intention."
"You..." Fang Zilan looked complicated, and Li Shengxuan continued, "I believe what you say, but the power of the Zhuge family is not what you see in front of you. If they are involved..."
He paused, as if he had made up his mind, "Then this game of chess can only be completed by me."
Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear, and she said after a while: "You dragged me into the game, and now you want to push me away?"
"I'm not..." As soon as Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, he was stopped by Fang Zilan, "Don't even think about it. Everything I have, including the lives of my closest relatives, is bet on this game. Do you want to Am I wise enough to protect myself? Let me tell you, it’s impossible.”
She spoke faster and faster, and her tone of voice was more exciting than anything Li Shengxuan had ever seen. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you still walking with me when you know it's a dead end?"
"I've come here and I can't stop." Fang Zilan sighed and said faintly: "What's more, if two people work together, the chance of winning will be greater. If you have half a percent and I have half a percent, it will add up to one percent."
"10% chance of winning, 90% chance of losing." Li Shengxuan laughed dumbly, "The Fang family has been in business for generations, and the children have always been shrewd. How could we have a daughter as unique as you?"
"If you do too many things where you are sure of winning, you will feel bored." Fang Zilan turned her face and said close to Li Shengxuan's ear: "I have won many times, and it's not a big deal if I lose once in a while."
Feeling the warm breath in his ears, Li Shengxuan couldn't help but the tips of his ears turned red, "I thought you didn't like losing."
"That was true before." Fang Zilan said, moving to the side and slightly opening the distance between the two. "In the past, if I lost, I would lose my life. If I lose now, someone will accompany me. It’s not a loss if we lose our lives together.”
Li Shengxuan coughed lightly, "It seems I have to retract my preamble. You are indeed a member of the Fang family."
"Really?" Fang Zilan was noncommittal and turned back to the conversation: "Now, do you still want the evidence in my hand?"
"I think." Li Shengxuan said firmly, and Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "It may not be appropriate to say it is evidence. It is just a few documents from the Southeast Government Office, which records all the paddy fields of the Zhuge family in Jiang'an over the years."
"That is to say, there is no mention that Shuitian was originally owned by the Hong family?" Li Shengxuan keenly noticed the loophole in Fang Zilan's words, but she nodded nonchalantly, "The record that Shuitian was originally owned by the Hong family is in the ghost gate. Bogu Palace.”
After she finished speaking, as expected, she saw a flash of doubt in Li Shengxuan's eyes, so she explained: "Guimen Bogu Hall contains documents related to the previous dynasty, and I have read some of them. If not, I would also be very disappointed. It’s hard to detect what’s going on in the paddy fields.”
Li Shengxuan said thoughtfully: "How to record it in the document?"
"During the previous dynasty, the Hong family and the Zhuge family lived together in Jiang'an. The Hong family came from a poor family as a military general, and the Zhuge family was both civil and military. There was little overlap between the two families." Fang Zilan recalled, "Until the end of the previous dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the Hong family Following the disappearance of General Zhenbei, King Pingnan, the Zhuge family kept a low profile and defected to the Li family at the critical moment to rule the world and became the founding heroes. After that, many fields and houses in Jiang'an that originally belonged to the Hong family fell into the name of the Zhuge family. Down."
Li Shengxuan pondered for a moment and said: "If, as you said, there are no records in this dynasty, it is a land without an owner. It is reasonable for the Zhuge family to take advantage of such a loophole."
"Are you excusing the Zhuge family?" Fang Zilan said quietly: "I thought you would be disappointed."
"If it was ten years ago, maybe." Li Shengxuan smiled self-deprecatingly, and Fang Zilan said calmly: "So you are not excusing the Zhuge family, but you just think this way of handling it is better?"
"I don't know." Li Shengxuan said calmly: "One move can affect the whole body. Before the situation is clear, I will not deal with anyone or anything at will."
Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "You mean, this war was not Murong Xun's original wish, but he had to do it as a last resort?"
"Yes." Zhen Zhu nodded and said: "There is also the Qi King Mu Chuji of Miluo. His biological mother is Lin, the current Queen Mother of Miluo. He grew up in a prosperous place, relying on his good skin, romantic nature, and good manners. It's ridiculous. Brother Wan commented on him that he has a natural cruelty and is a cruel master. But he is very good to his brother, the new emperor of Miluo, Mu Churui."
"Although Mu Churui is the eldest son of the late emperor, he was born by a palace maid. He has been fostered in Lin's palace since he was a child. He grew up with Mu Chuji and was inseparable. He seems to be honest and honest, but in fact he is hypocritical and ungrateful. Not only did he just take the throne, I heard that There is no peace in our country, so we took advantage of the loophole and raised our troops to attack, regardless of the previous agreement between the two countries." Zhen Zhu sighed softly, "It stands to reason that Miluo would not have had the chance of Mu Churui becoming emperor. After all, Mu Chuji was the direct descendant. The eldest son should inherit the throne, but he didn't care at all and gave up the throne to Mu Churui."
Fang Zilan listened carefully and asked, "Why is Mu Chuji here?"
"It's for fighting." Zhen Zhu looked like she couldn't understand, shook her head and said: "Sister Xiu, you should have fought with Mu Chuji, right? He is more or less a master, so naturally he wants to find someone more powerful to fight against. He is now The purpose of the trip is to see if there are any masters in Dajing."
"Master?" Fang Zilan looked disdainful, "If I were serious about it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive twenty rounds in my hands."
Zhen Zhu's face was full of admiration and she praised: "Sister Xiu, you are the best master in the world. A prince like Mu Chuji, who is embroidered with tricks and embroidered legs, is just a fool in front of you."
"It's not like being a master, and it's not like using tricks to embroider your legs." Fang Zilan brought the topic back and said: "Mu Chuji has a deep mind, which has caused me a lot of losses these days. I saw that his words were very important in the Miluo Army, so I wanted to come to Murong Xun Don’t you dare to care about him?”
"That's not true. Murong Xun and Mu Chuji have a delicate relationship." Zhen Zhu said seriously: "Mu Chuji wanted to become Murong Xun's disciple. Of course Murong Xun didn't dare to accept him as his disciple, but he couldn't stand his persistence. After all, he taught me carefully after all, and the two of them have a master-student relationship."
She said as if she was remembering something, and added: "By the way, Sister Mi'er also asked me to tell you that she guessed that Mu Chuji joined the army this time, saying it was for fighting, but in fact he might be helping Murong Xun protect the Chen family and the Murong Qing. If anything happens, Chen and Murong Qing are detained in the palace, and he is detained in the army, no one dares to act rashly."
