Mo Han held Fang Zilan's shoulders, "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Why can't you hold on?"
"I thought that if I could maintain a peaceful and prosperous age, my life would be in vain, but..." Fang Zilan's eyes turned red and her voice was trembling, "But now that the Miluo people are coming, I can only watch helplessly, what? Nothing can be done.”
"Why can't anything be done?" Mo Han frowned, and Fang Zilan's voice was low, "Dajing cannot afford this battle."
"If we are asking for peace..." As soon as Mo Han started to speak, she stopped him, "If things go on like this, the Miluo people will march forward and they will never accept the peace proposal. Dajing is not even qualified to negotiate."
"Then fight for a qualification." Mo Han said with a stern expression, "For the current plan, a quick victory is no longer possible. If we can hold back the Miluo people, we can slowly drive them out over time."
Fang Zilan lowered her eyes slightly and murmured: "Hold it?"
"Sister Lan?" Mo Han stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, but she pushed it away, "Mo Han, I want to be alone."
Mo Han looked at her back, and while hesitating, he suddenly heard A Wan's voice, "Fang Zilan, why did you go back to the house so early today? Is it because the government office has nothing to do and you took a break?"
However, Fang Zilan didn't seem to hear her words and walked back to the house. She was about to catch up and ask what happened, but was stopped by Mo Han, "Miss Awan, let her be."
"What's wrong with her?" Awan looked confused, and Mo Han sighed softly, "Sister Lan is worried about the Miluo people's massive invasion and has no time to take care of us. I hope Miss Awan doesn't blame her."
"This matter is quite difficult, otherwise according to her temperament, you should be at Mushan Pass now." A Wan was rarely serious, "Now that the situation is unclear, Vice Admiral Cao would not dare to leave the capital casually, let alone send you back to Mushan Pass. The mountain pass is closed, and you may not know when the Miluo people will attack there. It's better to stay in the capital, it will be safer."
After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "That's all, let's not talk about these troublesome things. I'm going to see how the dinner is being prepared."
Mo Han saw her hurriedly going to the kitchen, and turned around to leave without stopping any longer.
When it was time for dinner, Fang Zilan calmed down a bit and was not as lost as he was during the day. Seeing this, both Mo Han and Awan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Fang Zilan did not move his chopsticks and said calmly: "I have something to tell you."
Lieutenant General Cao didn't know why and touched the back of his head, but saw that Mo Han and A Wan were also confused. In the end, all three of them focused on Fang Zilan.
Fang Zilan raised her hand to signal the maids and servants inside and outside the hall to get down. After only four of them were left in the hall, she spoke again: "I will enter the court tomorrow and invite myself to go to the southern border to fight against the Miluo people and defend Qiluo City."
As soon as she finished speaking, Awan gasped, "Fang Zilan, are you serious?"
Fang Zilan ignored her words and continued: "Old Cao, Awan, if you are willing, then go with me. If not, you can leave the house tomorrow."
"Boss, I am naturally willing to go with you, but..." Vice Admiral Cao paused and asked in confusion: "The whole court has not yet reached a conclusion through discussion, let's go..."
"It's to buy time for them." Fang Zilan interrupted him quietly, "If we let it go and wait until they come up with a countermeasure, the Miluo people may be able to attack the capital. Seeing that the Miluo people are about to attack Qiluo City, I’ll go there and guard it for ten days and a half, it’s good to be able to delay it for them for a while.”
Hearing this, Awan looked at her dumbfounded, "Fang Zilan, you..."
"I am going to Qiluo City with the determination to die, so I won't force you." Fang Zilan said and looked at Mo Han. After a while, he whispered: "As for you, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the capital as a hostage for me. .”
"Okay." Mo Han agreed without hesitation, "Only if I stay will they believe in your determination to defend Qiluo City and earn a chance for you."
Fang Zilan's expression darkened, "Mo Han, please think clearly. Once you stay, you will never be able to leave. In fact, if I cannot defend Qiluo City, you will lose your life in an instant."
Mo Han suddenly smiled, "Sister Lan, if you couldn't defend Qiluo City, where would you be?"
Fang Zilan did not answer and allowed him to continue, "If you are no longer here, I will accompany you."
"Why don't you know how to live well?" Fang Zilan sighed helplessly, but Mo Han still just smiled.
As a close relative since childhood, he accidentally entered this world because of her, and now they are finally reunited. If we can't live together, we can die together, and maybe we can go back to the original world together.
No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zilan chuckled and said, "Okay, now that we have not reached the end of the road, who are you going to show like this? What's more, since ancient times, no one has died, and there is nothing wrong with dying well."
Vice General Cao patted his chest and said, "Boss, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire. I, Old Cao, will accompany you through this."
Awan let out a long sigh, "You've all decided. If I don't agree, I'll look petty. It's just..." She hesitated for a moment, but continued, "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to hold on for long. In the end, It’s all in vain.”
"Even if we hold on for one more day, there will be a glimmer of hope." Fang Zilan said with a determined expression, "I believe that your Majesty will be able to find a way to end this war."
"You said so, let's go together." Awan smiled helplessly, "Isn't it just to defend the city? We have been defending the northern border for so long, what does a mere Miluo City mean?"
"Thank you." Fang Zilan stood up and saluted Deputy General Cao and Awan solemnly, and the two of them quickly stood up.
Vice General Cao returned the salute respectfully, "Boss, it is only natural for us soldiers to go to the battlefield to protect the people. Why are you so polite?"
"That's right." Awan agreed casually, and then asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "When you enter the court tomorrow, have you handed in the official document to the palace?"
"I have asked the butler to escort me to the palace." Fang Zilan motioned for everyone to sit down. "If there is no purpose, I cannot enter the palace at will. I understand this rule."
"That's good." Awan nodded and said with a gloomy look, "These are troubled times, and I don't think His Majesty will refute your request to enter the court."
"Stop talking about this, let's have dinner." Fang Zilan picked up the chopsticks, and the other three people also moved their chopsticks and started eating their dinner.
However, in the imperial study room at this time, Li Shengxuan looked at the documents that Fang Zilan sent to the palace, but he lost his appetite for dinner.
Xia Houzhang looked at him cautiously and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang has invited himself to join the court at this time..."
"She is planning to discuss the invasion of the Miluo people with all the ministers in the court." Li Shengxuan raised his hand and frowned slightly, his voice showing a hint of weariness, "With her temperament, she must be the one taking the lead in the battle."
He sighed faintly, "This battle is going to be fought, but the Ministry of Revenue is still raising military pay. The time has not come yet, so we can't just fight."
"Then do you want to dismiss Mr. Fang's statement?" Xia Houzhang asked tentatively. Li Shengxuan shook his head, "No, I want to hear what she has to say. Promote my decree and announce that Fang Zilan will enter the court tomorrow."
