Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1414 Prejudgment

"With the power of the capital, it is not a wise choice to go to war and capture the whole world." Fang Zilan coughed lightly, and Zhuge Yu looked at her with interest, "I didn't expect that you would actually do something like this thought."

"I'm not a stickler." Fang Zilan said with a chill on her face, "Offense is the best defense, that's who I am."

When these words came out of her mouth, they naturally became more convincing. Zhuge Yu remained silent for a while and then said: "The capital is not afraid of war. But long-term peace and stability do not depend on war."

"I understand." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "However, after the battle between Dajing and Miluo, Mu Churui was unable to send troops in a short time."

Zhuge Yu felt relieved. More than two years had passed since that battle. The time was long or short. Even if it was not enough for Mu Churui to regroup, it was enough for him to keep a low profile and bide his time.

Today, Mu Churui is no longer as eager for quick success as he was when he first ascended the throne, just to gain fame and prestige by sending troops thousands of miles away. Instead, he has grown into a true emperor with a deep palace.

However... it is unknown whether the move of using Princess Zhongzheng and Murong Qing's mother and son to hold Murong Xun hostage and order him to send troops was the intention of Queen Mother Lin or Mu Churui's own heart.

"Ayu." Fang Zilan called out softly, and Zhuge Yu looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"If it's Miluo..." Fang Zilan paused and said, "Jiangnan, I can go alone."

"No." Zhuge Yu blurted out without even thinking, "The corruption case is complicated, and there are countless forces involved in it. You alone..."

"A Yu, are you worried about me?" Fang Zilan raised her lips with a half-smile, and Zhuge Yu was speechless for a moment, "I..."

"I am the one who deserves to die, and I will have to pay for my life sooner or later." Fang Zilan's eyes dimmed a little, "If I can do something in the remaining days, this life will not be in vain..."

"Fang Zilan!" Zhuge Yu couldn't help but interrupt Fang Zilan, "Even if Mo Han died and you were deeply shocked, you can't..."

"Can't what?" Fang Zilan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words, and the smile on her face faded a little, "Ayu, I'm tired."

Zhuge Yu pursed his lips, told them a few words to have a good rest, then turned and left.

Fang Zilan lay back on the bed, and her leg hurt slightly when she moved, which made her frown. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but her leg injury was not healed so quickly.

It was not impossible to move forward with an injury, but it was somewhat inconvenient. Since the person behind the scenes was so bold as to kill people in public during the New Year's Festival, he must be someone who should not be underestimated. She had little chance of winning against him with her injured leg.

"A secret visit to Jiangnan, will you go?" Fang Ziqin's voice sounded from behind Fang Zilan. She sat up straight again and looked over. "You know everything?"

"There's news from our Jiangnan family that a secret envoy will go to Jiangnan for a secret visit after the New Year." Fang Ziqin gathered her sleeves. "For me, this is not difficult to guess."

"I forgot that the Fang family's main home is in Jiangnan." Fang Zilan's eyes were gloomy. "Do you want me to go?"

"Whether I hope so or not, I can't stop you." Fang Ziqin smiled self-deprecatingly, and Fang Zilan turned her head away, "Sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Fang Ziqin shook her head. "As long as you remember, the Fang family is always here. As long as you open your mouth, they will do their best."

"Miss Fang, don't you know I'm here?" Pei Ranqing's smile widened, but there was no smile in his eyes. "This is my Pei family's pleasure boat. If I'm not here, where else should I be?" Fang Zitong looked alert and pursed her lips and said, "Since I've taken the wrong path, I won't bother Lord Ranguo any more..."

"Wait a minute, Miss Fang," Pei Ranqing interrupted her calmly, "If Miss Fang is looking for my cousin, you might as well give up. He won't come."

"It's you..." Fang Zitong blurted out, but then suddenly fell silent.

"It's me." Pei Ranqing nodded slightly and said, "I asked Miss Fang to come here in the name of my cousin. I want to discuss a business with Miss Fang."

Fang Zitong's expression turned cold. "I am just a weak girl, I have nothing to discuss with Lord Ranguo."

"Why are you in such a hurry to refuse, Miss Fang? Why don't you listen to what kind of business I want to discuss first, and then make a decision." Pei Ranqing said as he poured tea: "Even if the business fails, we can't waste this good tea."

He pushed the teacup towards Fang Zitong, as if he was sure that she would sit down and discuss the business with him.

Fang Zitong hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down opposite Pei Ranqing, "What business does Lord Ranguo want to discuss with me?"

Compared to Fang Zitong's restlessness, Pei Ranqing seemed particularly calm and composed. He did not speak, but motioned for her to taste the tea first.

Seeing this, Fang Zitong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put the teacup back to its place without saying a word.

"What do you think of this tea, Miss Fang?" Pei Ranqing asked casually. Fang Zitong said bluntly, "This is the spring tea from Xiguan City. It can be called a fine product in the border area. But if it is placed in the capital, it is not worth mentioning."

"As expected of Miss Fang, you are a first-class lady." Pei Ranqing smiled and said, "Outside the Western Territory, in Persia, the only daughter of the Sassan family, Vanas, gave up the name of Sassan in order to marry Miss Fang's cousin..."

He paused and said, "I wonder if Miss Fang is willing to give up the name of Fang family?"

Fang Zitong's face was as gloomy as water. "What exactly does Lord Ran Guogong want to say?"

"Miss Fang answered my question, I will tell you my purpose." Pei Ranqing picked up the teapot slowly and was about to add tea, but saw Fang Zitong move the teacup, "I don't want to."

"As expected." Pei Ranqing chuckled. Fang Zitong said coldly, "I have answered Lord Ran's question. It's your turn to answer my doubts."

"What I want to tell Miss Fang is that if you want to marry into the Pei family, it is impossible for you to marry my cousin." Pei Ranqing smiled and said seriously: "But you can consider changing someone, such as me."

Fang Zitong's face was full of astonishment. She had thought of many situations, but had never thought it would be this one.

For a moment, she even thought she had misheard. What did Pei Ranqing say? He wanted her to marry him as his successor?

She laughed out of anger, "Although the Pei family is good, it is not the best in the capital city where there are many aristocratic families. Why does Lord Rong think that even if I am to be a successor, I must marry into the Pei family?"

"Since Miss Fang doesn't have to be with the Pei family, why is she still entangled with my cousin?" Pei Ranqing pretended to be curious and said, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really don't see that my cousin is worth Miss Fang giving up everything, including the name of the Fang family."
