Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1396 Dream Return

Fang Zilan refilled the tea for herself and Fang Lihui, "Once the net is set, we will catch Yin Quanzhang, and the people behind him cannot be let go either. But..."

She paused and looked at Fang Lihui intently, "Not only will the Spring Festival be ruined by then, but the Fang family's golden brand name will also be covered in dust."

"Miss Zhen doesn't have to worry about the Fang family's affairs." Fang Lihui put on a smile, but still looked cynical, "As long as Miss Zhen is not afraid of damaging the reputation of Qianjinfang, I am not afraid of the Fang family's reputation being damaged."

"Famous?" Fang Zilan chuckled, "What is that? I can create it, and I can destroy it."

Hearing this, Li Shengxuan's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but say: "If the truth can be found out, it will not be difficult for the Fang family or Qianjinfang to clear their name. What is difficult is that you just said not to let go of the person behind Yin Quanzhang , what does this mean?"

"I know your people are trapped." Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said quietly: "But my people are not."

"What do you mean?" Li Shengxuan and Fang Lihui asked in unison, but Fang Zilan did not answer. She just looked towards the door and said loudly, "Since we are here, come in."

Li Shengxuan and Fang Lihui looked at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes, but Fang Zilan glanced at them and said, "Please do as you please. There are some things you cannot listen to."

Before she finished her words, Mingxiang pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a man - none other than Lin Jian, the escort leader who had accompanied her to Linjia Village during the plague.

Li Shengxuan and Fang Lihui realized that Fang Zilan had other plans, and that there was more than just Mingxiang around her. However, since the order to expel them had been issued, they could not stay any longer.

Since Lin Jian walked into the guest room, he has been staring at Fang Zilan with red eyes, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her.

Fang Zilan still sat upright until everyone else in the room left, leaving only her and Lin Jian, then she spoke: "Since you're here, sit down and talk."

"You..." Lin Jian clenched his fists and slowly sat down opposite Fang Zilan, "Are you really..."

"Who else in this world knows about the ten-year agreement between you and Duke Xianyue, except Duke Xianyue himself?" Fang Zilan interrupted Lin Jian and slammed the plum sword on the table. "Even if you don't recognize me, you should recognize this sword, right?"

"The escort leader said that when he and Lord Fang entered the village, there were only a few seriously ill people left in the village. They died within a few days." Zhuge Yu suppressed his smile and said in a calm voice, "Lord Fang was afraid that the stench of corpses would spread and the plague would spread, so he resorted to the desperate measure of setting fire to the village."

He stared at Prince Rong'an as he spoke, and at the end he pretended to be casual and asked, "But how did Your Majesty know that the man who entered the village with Lord Fang was a bodyguard?"

Prince Rong An was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't it?"

Zhuge Yu did not answer. King Rong'an frowned and looked at the people around him. He knelt down before asking the culprit. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just heard General Xiahou talking to his men a few days ago. I just found out about this. I thought that since it was General Xiahou who said this, it must be correct. That's why I dared to report it to you..."

"General Xiahou?" Su Yun repeated softly, and King Rong'an's expression became colder. "General Xiahou cares about Miss Yan'er, so it's understandable that he asks more questions, but you actually dared to eavesdrop on General Xiahou's conversation. Come, drag him away!"

"Your Highness, please spare my life!" The people around Prince Rong'an were dragged away. Prince Rong'an said guiltily, "It's all because I didn't control my subordinates well. I raised such a sneaky thing. I'm sorry to make you two laugh. If I had known that he got the news from eavesdropping, I would not listen to a word even if my ears were cut off." "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself so much." Zhuge Yu said indifferently, "Now that His Majesty's order has not been delivered, Lord Fang is unable to take charge. I hope Your Highness will not worry too much. It will be bad if you get hurt."

Prince Rong'an's expression was stern. "Thank you, Master Zhuge, for reminding me. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave now. If Master Zhuge and Lord Su need me for anything, just let me know. I will not refuse."

After Prince Rong'an left, Zhuge Yu and Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They smiled at each other and then their faces turned cold again.

Su Yun said in a deep voice: "Master Zhuge, we agreed to hold out for Lord Fang for half a month, what are you doing now?"

"The half-month period has passed." Zhuge Yu took the teacup from the table and took a sip. "You and I can keep it together for a while, but not for a lifetime. After all, it won't be long."

"What do you mean?" Su Yun pursed his lips into a straight line. Zhuge Yu looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Originally, Lord Su insisted on replacing me and coming to this southeastern land. I thought Lord Su was a capable person. Why is he so impatient?"

Su Yun snorted coldly, "Master Zhuge, are you holding a grudge against me for taking your place?"

"I'm not a stingy person." Zhuge Yu put the teacup back and tapped the table with his fingers. "Why did Lord Su have to come?"

"Mr. Zhuge, what do you want to say?" Su Yun's expression was cold, but Zhuge Yu just smiled. "Prince Rong'an has selfish motives, General Xiahou has selfish motives, and even Lord Su, you have selfish motives. Am I right?"

Su Yun clenched his ten fingers into a fist, "Isn't it the same for Master Zhuge? Do you dare to say that you, the other party, have no selfish motives?"

"Does the other lord have selfish motives?" Zhuge Yu smiled helplessly. The so-called selfish motive was not his, but the selfish motive that Li Shengxuan in the Qiankun Palace kept to himself and could not be known to others.

Li Shengxuan knew that there was something fishy behind the chaos in the southeast, and even if Mo Bin was not the culprit, he was still to blame. But when he heard that Fang Zilan was going to the epidemic area alone, he suppressed all his voice and sent him here regardless of anything. He had only one order, which was to bring her back to the capital safely.

What with Mo Bin's rebellion, Prince Rong'an's poor discipline, Fang Zilan's secret protection and release of the Mo family, and the Xiahou family's attempt to seize military power under the pretext of clearing pirates... Li Shengxuan didn't care at all, or to put it another way, except for Fang Zilan, no one cared.

He didn't know whether Li Shengxuan's action was a self-deception because he was afraid that he would lose the gamble of Dajing, or a stubborn preference that was willing to listen to one side and take a gamble.

However, no matter which one it is, he doesn't want to know. The former is just an escape, and the latter is the work of love. As the emperor of Dajing, Li Shengxuan, the master to whom the Zhuge family swore allegiance until death, should not have any of these, nor will he have any, let alone have any.

At this point, all he could do was to pretend to have this selfish motive in order to dispel everyone's doubts.

He heard his own voice, which was gentle and clear. "Yes, even if I have selfish motives towards Lady Fang, so what? After all, I have come this far thanks to Lady Fang's support. If I have no selfish motives towards her, wouldn't I be a god?"
