"I don't care what Mu Churui wants to do." Princess Erya's expression grew colder, "As long as I can kill Hatumu and protect the Wu clan, my death will be worth it."
"Erya, if after your death, Mu Churui turns his back on you and leaves the Wu family in seclusion in the palace, how will that be any different from a hundred years ago?" The cousin was heartbroken, "At that time, the Wu family will become like the high priest. , using destiny to manipulate people's hearts, but they are puppets controlled by Mu Churui. It's okay not to have such prosperity."
Unexpectedly, Princess Erya turned a deaf ear and said, "Cousin, Miagu was finally seriously injured. It took me a year to make the elders of the clan stop supporting Hatumu, and I got this opportunity from Mu Churui. I have to take a gamble. .”
"That's Fang Zilan, the daughter of the God of Death. How could you win her in a bet?" The cousin held Princess Erya's wrist, but she was unmoved at all. "It is precisely because she is the daughter of the God of Death that I changed my mind." I want to bet."
The more she spoke, the more she gritted her teeth, "The former General of Zhenbei, King Pingnan, massacred all tribes outside the Great Wall and killed many of our tribesmen in order to marry his princess. Have you forgotten, cousin?"
"How could I forget?" The cousin slowly let go of her hand as if she had lost all her strength.
In the third year of the founding of Da Chu, in the middle of winter, water dripped in the northwest and turned into ice. The barbarians who fled to the depths of the desert were all in ragged clothes and suffered from hunger and cold. They come from many tribes such as the Western Region, Mobei, and Monan, but now they are heading in the same direction.
But wherever they went, they passed through Gilded City. The leader made a deal with Huyan Khan, and the men were sent into the army and the women were made slaves, thus gaining temporary shelter.
After the young general of Zhenbei, King Pingnan, heard the news, he did not give an order to pursue him, because the current situation was enough for him to handle the matter.
Originally, dozens of tribes, large and small, outside the fortress, except Di Rong's tribe who temporarily vassalized Miluo, were all wiped out. Even Di Rong's troops suffered more than half the casualties.
Some people say it is to make a name for themselves, others say it is to warn the neighbors. However, for Zhenbei General Pingnan King, all the reasons are not worth a transaction and one person.
Qin Ji was from a humble background, and the entire Chu royal family was extremely opposed to this marriage. Only the emperor, who had ascended to the throne for the first time, proposed such a compromise.
As long as all the tribes outside the Great Wall are wiped out, he will personally issue an imperial edict to consummate the marriage.
Most of the people around him had tried to dissuade him. If he carried out this unkind and unjust battle, in the future, the world would only fear and have no respect for General Zhenbei, King Pingnan.
But Zhenbei General Pingnan Wang himself didn't care. He was the God of Death and the God of Death who wanted to marry Qin Ji...
Recalling the past, Princess Erya's cousin only felt her mood fluctuate. She was not yet born at that time, but she had also heard her mother talk about the tragedy of the scene back then. So much so that she has been a slave girl since she was born in Gilded City.
"Cousin, I didn't mean to irritate you with the past, but the opportunity for revenge is right in front of me. If I miss it, I will never have it again." Princess Erya seemed to have a fire burning in her eyes, and she was so paranoid that she was almost crazy, "My life, What does it matter?"
"Er Ya..." The cousin's eyes turned red, "Have you ever thought about the consequences? After this move, it will be a complete break with Dajing, and Miluo is not a kind person. It is caught between the two countries. How can Di Rong's tribe have any chance? A way to survive?"
"My hometown has long since ceased to exist." Princess Erya's expression gradually became resentful. "It would not be a pity if Di Rong's tribe was destroyed today. As long as the Wu clan is prosperous, nothing else matters."
"Fang Zilan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Awan blurted out subconsciously, but stopped the moment he saw Fang Zilan as cold as ice. After a while, he whispered: "Even the young master can't..."
"What can't be done?" Fang Zilan smiled evilly, "We are on the same boat. If something happens to me, do you think he can clean it up?"
Awan's expression changed instantly and her voice was very low: "Fang Zilan, are you really not afraid that the young master will kill you?"
"I am still useful to him, but he is reluctant to let go." Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, and her voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke, disappearing in Awan's ear in the blink of an eye, but making her face even more ugly.
"When have you ever seen a young master reluctant to let go, even if it's Wu Qing..." A Wan did not continue, but Fang Zilan knew what she meant.
Wu Qing was the former princess and the person closest to Ji Ningtian. However, Ji Ningtian still got her involved in the muddy waters of the ghost gate.
To that man, all of them were just pawns in his hands.
But for some reason, Fang Zilan wanted to bet on this, betting that Ji Ningtian would have no one to use except her, Fang Zilan.
"Have you thought about it?" Awan stretched out her hand and pulled Fang Zilan's sleeve, pulling her thoughts back together. "If you offend the young master, no one can save you."
"Who said that the young master will definitely be annoyed?" She smiled slightly, "I haven't thought about it. Because of the status of the former dynasty, the Fang family will give the young master some bad treatment. The Ouyang family has been weak in the court in the past two years. , coupled with Li Shengxuan's accession to the throne, all the aristocratic families are worried, lest he will let the Xiahou family into the court again, this is the best time to marry each other. "
Awan frowned, "But the Shangguan family is a sinner, and other families are afraid of avoiding it, so how can they be willing to get married?"
Fang Zilan still just smiled, "It is true that the Shangguan family is a sinner, but it is also true that Li Shengxuan has selfish motives. The power behind the Shangguan family has not been affected at all. This alone is enough to impress a weak Ouyang family. More What's more..."
She paused, and the smile on her face became brighter, "They are not marrying the daughter of the Shangguan family, but the daughter of the Wang family."
Awan was confused, "What do you mean?"
"The Wang family is a noble family in Yanzhou after all. I have to give Wang Quanzhi some face, otherwise my life in Yanzhou will be very sad in the future?" Fang Zilan said in an understatement, and Awan suddenly reacted, "What do you mean? yes……"
"It's what you think." Fang Zilan nodded, "This matter is of great importance. I have to write letters to the Fang family and Ouyang family in person, but just by speaking, I want to persuade the two aristocratic families to buy it. I'm afraid it won't be easy, and I have to ask the young master to help me secretly. There are too many people staring at me now, and I can't leave at all, so I can only let you go in person. "
"Are you trying to push me away?" Awan's voice was a little lower, as if she was a little disappointed. Fang Zilan reached out to pat her shoulder, but in the end his hand did not fall on her shoulder, but was She grabbed her sleeve with her backhand.
Fang Zilan let her hold her and sighed softly, "Little Awan, there are some things that are meaningless to say. I've been busy these past two days, so you'll make this trip for me."
