Fang Zilan left all the soldiers who followed her in the city before leaving the city. After arriving outside the city and confirming that no one was following her, she no longer hesitated and headed towards the place in her memory.
It was a stone house in the desert, for passers-by to take a break from sandstorms. Apart from her and Zucker, only he knew about it.
The closer she got to the stone house, the more uneasy Fang Zilan felt. Although she had a bit of luck, thinking that maybe only Chakel hid in the stone house to escape, she knew very well that she was just deceiving herself.
The stone house was the place where the alliance was formed. Each of them had sworn that they would never enter this house again unless they were reunited. All the secrets would be buried under the yellow sand of the desert. However, today she returned to her old place, and the secrets of the past could not be hidden after all.
The stone house was in front of him. Fang Zilan walked to the door but stopped, stretched out his hand and then put it down, but he didn't dare to open the door.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard a familiar voice, "We agreed that this house would be a place for reunion, but why is there one person missing?"
The furious voice was Chuckle, the memory in her mind told her. There was one less person that Zucker was talking about, and he was naturally referring to her. It seemed that he had indeed arrived.
"Don't be impatient. The person is already here, right at the door." Another voice sounded, unhurried and gentle as jade, with a low voice that added a hint of indescribable temptation.
It seemed that even if there was an abyss in front of her, she would step into it without hesitation after hearing this voice. In fact, she did so, reaching out and pushing open the door, stepping into the nightmare of this body's past.
For a long time as she regained her memory bit by bit, Fang Zilan, as a modern person, had been trying to understand what the ancient Fang Zilan had done with her own ideas. Later, except for her deep love, she could not find the other person. Two reasons.
His voice, appearance, and appearance in ancient Fang Zilan's memory seemed to be burned into her mind. Whenever and wherever she thought of him, she could remember them very clearly, but to her, he seemed to be the most familiar stranger.
The uncontrollable emotions in her heart and the tormenting poison in her body were all for him. Now that this person was in front of her, she had mixed feelings, and she stayed at the door for a moment.
A face that was exactly the same as in her memory. The eyebrows flew into the temples, the deep eyes were as cold as unfathomable cold pool water, the straight bridge of the nose was like a knife, and the two thin lips were more beautiful than March. Peach blossom has its own charm but also has a hidden edge.
This is her young master, the leader of the Ghost Sect, and the King of Yuning, Ji Ningtian.
Fang Zilan tried her best to stay awake and not to be swayed by her inner feelings. However, the moment she met his eyes, her nose still sore uncontrollably.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Ji Ningtian said, walking to the door and naturally holding her hand.
She subconsciously wanted to pull away the hand he held, but instead he held it tighter without moving. She was embarrassed to flirt with him in front of others, so she timidly called him Young Master, just like before.
"Miss Zixiu's shy look, I'm afraid I can only see it when I'm around you." Seeing the affection between the two of them, Zucker couldn't help but make fun of her. He turned to Fang Zilan and said, "Your son-in-law wrote a letter to me. When I came here to meet him, I said it was for you."
Chuckle said with a flash of light in his eyes, "Your young master is very kind to you."
very good? Fang Zilan smiled bitterly in her heart, while Zucker stroked his beard and looked at the two of them with squinted eyes, "But, he's not that kind to me."
"What do you want to say?" Ji Ningtian suppressed a smile and looked a little colder, but Zha Keer didn't care, "Dajing's soldiers and horses have attacked the gilded city. Now the city has been destroyed. You, the master of the ghost gate, Where is your integrity?"
"When did I, as the Lord of the Ghost Sect, promise to help you protect the Gilded City?" Ji Ningtian's lips curled up slightly, but it was an unspeakable sarcasm. He sat back down, and Fang Zilan was embraced by him. In arms.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but her body did not stiffen. Instead, she leaned into his arms habitually. The intimacy made her heart surge. Can anyone explain to her what is going on between these two people? ?
Before, he wanted her to be Li Shengxuan's woman. She thought it was just Fang Zilan's wishful thinking in ancient times, but her memory told her that it was not the case. The two people did seem to have a relationship, and now he was as affectionate towards her as ever. Just pretend that the incident of her giving it to others never happened?
Sure enough, there were magic everywhere in this world that she couldn't understand.
"Help me kill the Seven Wolves of the North Plains and help me seize the throne. If you cause trouble in the future, I will cause trouble in the north to add fuel to your fire. Aren't these the covenants we made together?" Zha Keer raised an eyebrow. After a challenge, his expression became fierce, "Or do you want to go back on your word?"
"I have done everything to kill the Seven Northern Wolfs and help you seize the throne, but what did you do? You indulged your subordinates in provoking troubles, and even showed off the bodies of the Seven Northern Wolfs, which caused me to be almost discovered by the Zhuge family. This account is another How to calculate it?" Ji Ningtian said calmly. Every time he said something, Zha Keer's face became uglier. "Although you are King Yuning of Dajing, you are just a remnant of the previous dynasty. If you are If Li Shengxuan knows what you did, do you think he can let you go?"
"Now that you've even lost the Gilded City, you still have the guts to threaten me?" Ji Ningtian smiled coldly, "I didn't come here today just to hear what you said."
"Then what are you here for?" Zha Keer said with a fierce look, "Zixiu is also here, let me tell you straight, if she had acted more quickly and killed that powerful Dajing general, how could the Gilded City be possible? was breached. Now I can only flee to the desert to regain my momentum, but as you know, all of this requires money..."
Chuckle paused as he spoke, then chuckled twice, "We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, you won't not help with this little favor, right?"
Fang Zilan felt indescribably disgusted when she looked at Chakel's greedy and cunning look, but his words made her even more surprised that he didn't know that the commander-in-chief of Dajing was her for so long.
Even if Zha Keer had always thought she was the killer Zixiu and didn't know she was Fang Zilan, how could he not know about it due to his relationship with Ji Ningtian? Even the news in the army was given to the Jin people by Ji Ningtian's eyes and ears. Why didn't Ji Ningtian send someone to report such an important matter?
With such deliberate concealment, a bold idea gradually took shape in Fang Zilan's mind. She looked at Ji Ningtian who was close at hand, and gave him a gentle squeeze on her hand.
Feeling the movement of the person in his arms, Ji Ningtian glanced at her and nodded imperceptibly. It seemed that she was right. This was the tacit understanding between the two of them and her unreserved trust in him. Thinking about it this way, she felt even more sad in her heart.
"If you want me to help you, you can." Ji Ningtian turned to look at Zucker, meeting his expectant eyes, "But before that, you have to do me a favor."
Ji Ningtian's half-smiling look made Zucker's scalp tingle, but he still nodded hastily and said, "Whatever you want me to do, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
"You can indeed do this." Ji Ningtian smiled faintly, "What I want is your life."
Hearing this, Zucker suddenly stood up and glared, "What did you say?"
"I never say my words twice." Ji Ningtian's expression grew colder, "My Zixiu has already issued a military order in front of Li Shengxuan to take your head. How can I deny her permission for such a trivial matter? "
"You!" Zucker's voice trembled a little, "I wrote your letter to invite you and said it was a big deal, just to take my head?"
"My Zi Xiu's affairs are never trivial." Ji Ningtian said as he glanced at the person in his arms. The tenderness in his eyes almost made her lose her mind. But to her, these words were nothing more than words. His body had been badly injured.
"So that's it." Zha Keer suddenly realized, "That Dajing general is Miss Zixiu. No wonder you have always turned a blind eye to my letter for help. No wonder..."
"Now that you know everything, you understand everything." Ji Ningtian looked a little impatient, "You can do it yourself."
"I..." Zucker was choked by Ji Ningtian and couldn't speak. After a while, he suddenly pulled out his scimitar and slashed at the two of them. Fang Zilan was already prepared. Before his knife could fall, Fang Zilan sleeved The dagger hidden in his chest had already been inserted into his abdomen.
Zucker looked down at the dagger on his stomach and said slowly, "As expected of Zixiu..." Before he could finish his words, Fang Zilan pulled out the dagger and stabbed him in the chest again, hitting his vital point. He fell straight over, with a complicated expression on his face, mixed with fear, and died in Fang Zilan's hands.
Fang Zilan stared at Chakel's body on the ground and remained silent for a long time.
"Lan'er wants to take the head from his neck, so just take it." Ji Ningtian patted her hand, his tone indifferent as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.
"Young Master..." She called out in a low voice, and the way he hesitated to speak made him frown, "We haven't seen you for a while, why is Lan'er so alienated from me?"
As he spoke, he tightened his hold on her hand. Feeling the strength coming from her waist, she felt her heart becoming more and more bitter. She finally asked, "Why do you want to do this?"
"Do this?" A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and she bit her lips lightly, "Why did you give me to Li Shengxuan?"
"So Lan'er is holding a grudge against me?" He frowned and a smile escaped from the corners of his lips. She couldn't read the emotion in his eyes, but she was inexplicably panicked, "I don't hold a grudge against you, Master."
"Lan'er knows that only the one you love the most can be given up, because you won't feel indebted." Ji Ningtian looked gentle, but Fang Zilan only felt that the heart was becoming less and less like her own.
As if she was out of control, she heard her own voice, "I thought that the only chess pieces that the master would ever abandon are useless chess pieces."
Hearing her words, Ji Ningtian's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, "Silly girl, how could I bear to abandon you?"
