Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1473 Hesitation
Xiahou Yunzhao curled his lips and said, "Xiahou Mingxun has suffered a lot for the Xiahou family over the years. It's nothing for me to gamble my life for him."

"You said this as the head of the Xiahou family..." Xie Chen paused deliberately, "or as Xiahou Mingxun's sister?"

"Is there any difference?" Xiahou Yunzhao smiled even more. "I am not only the real head of the Xiahou family, but also the sister of Xiahou Mingxun..."

"Zhao Zhao, you know what I'm asking." Xie Chen rarely interrupted Xiahou Yunzhao, and he had never lost his composure like this before.

"Xie Chen, you may know better than me what the situation in Beijing is now." Xiahou Yunzhao suddenly changed his voice, "His throne seems to be stable, but in fact he is isolated and helpless. What can the nine great princes and noble families really do for them?" How many people did he use?"

"If you think about him, you shouldn't do it for Xiahou Mingxun, or even for Wu Ying..." Xie Chen was interrupted by Xiahou Yunzhao before he finished speaking, "I'm not doing it for him."

The smile on her face gradually faded as she spoke, "I owe not many people in my life, including Ayu and Xiahou Mingxun. If these debts are not paid off, I won't be able to close my eyes."

"You are not the only one who owes Ayu?" Xie Chen closed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't bear to recall the past.

"Even if it is to repay Ayu, I will help him clean up the southeastern land." A look of determination flashed in Xiahou Yunzhao's eyes, "So, Xie Chen, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you act impartially and conclude this case That’s fine. If anyone dares to stop you, I’ll get rid of that person.”

"If, I'm asking if." There was a hint of urgency in Xie Chen's voice, "That man was born in the Xiahou family..."

"Just do whatever you want, I won't protect you." Xiahou Yunzhao said with a sharp expression, "Except for Xiahou Mingxun."

Xie Chen looked steadily at Xiahou Yunzhao in front of him and subconsciously grabbed her hand. She did not break away or hold back.

"If Xiahou Mingxun is guilty, just blame it on me." Xiahou Yunzhao spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that Xie Chen would not let her continue, "I am his sister, if he is guilty, then I am guilty. "

"Zhaozhao, where did you put me?" Xie Chen held Xiahou Yunzhao's hand tightly. She turned her head and did not look at him. "If anything happens to me, please take care of Xiahou Mingxun for me..."

"Xiahou Yunzhao." Xie Chen shouted out his name and his suppressed anger, "You don't believe that Xiahou Mingxun is innocent, and you don't believe that I will help you..."

"Xie Chen, it's not that I don't believe it." Xiahou Yunzhao hurriedly stopped Xie Chen's words, "But I am the head of the Xiahou family, don't you understand? If someone really wants to sacrifice the flag, it must be me, and it can only be it's me."

"If you want to sacrifice the flag, then won't the five Lingnan families all have to be buried with you?" Xie Chen's eyes were covered with frost and snow, and his voice couldn't help but feel cold, "If it really reaches that point, will the southeastern land be clean? "

"You have seen what Fang Zilan and her loyal prince husband did." Xiahou Yunzhao held Xie Chen's hand, "The Silver Armored Army has entered the capital, and we cannot let the Miluo people take advantage of it. It's time to deal with it. Yes, it must be cleaned up.”

"During the battle in Qiluo City, Fang Zilan almost lost his life for the capital." Xie Chen frowned and said, "She also promised me that if Murong Qing had evil intentions and intended to cause trouble to the capital, she would kill him."

"Do you believe what Fang Zilan said?" Xiahou Yunzhao said in a deep voice: "She is a person without a family and a country. She can be used in Dajing or Miluo, or she can be thrown away in a flash. Today she stands with us for the Fang family. On the other hand, it is not impossible for her to fight with us tomorrow for the sake of the Fang family. "

Xie Chen understood Xiahou Yunzhao's concerns. Even if Fang Zilan was just an orphan, she had close ties with the previous dynasty. This was the reason why she refused to agree to Li Shengxuan's marriage with her, and it was also the reason why she could not trust her today.

Just like at this moment, she could believe that Xiahou Mingxun was just being used as a pawn, or that Wu Ying knew nothing about what the Wu family did, but she didn't believe that she could be immune to it. The power of blood was stronger than anything else, and as long as Xiahou Yunzhao was there, she would never be truly free.

"The Fang family will hold an annual spring party in Suzhou Prefecture. At that time, officials from surrounding prefectures, regardless of their rank, will come in person or send people to honor them." Li Shengxuan said with determination: "This is the opportunity."

Fang Zilan was silent for a long time before she said, "Although I have the identity of a member of the Chamber of Commerce, I have not received an invitation to the Spring Meeting. I would not rashly go there..."

"Don't worry, I have an invitation to the Spring Festival Party." Li Shengxuan said, and took out a gold-sprinkled invitation from his arms and handed it to Fang Zilan. After taking it, Fang Zilan looked at it and said, "There's nothing written on it?"

"So I need to borrow your identity from the Chamber of Commerce." Li Shengxuan said as a matter of course. Fang Zilan's expression froze. She held the invitation card under her nose and sniffed it. "This is a new invitation card. The gold sprinkled on it is also different from what the Fang family usually uses."

As she spoke, she stroked the gold powder on the invitation with her fingers. The particles were too rough, not as delicate as the one she saw at Fang's house.

"You are quite perceptive." Li Shengxuan's lips curled slightly, "But others may not be so. This post is enough to fool laymen."

"It might be enough to fool laymen, but it's not possible to fool the Fang family." Fang Zilan said helplessly: "Can't you find someone to imitate it more realistically?"

"The Fang family's gold-sprinkled invitations are all specially made by a special person, and they are hard to come by." Li Shengxuan shrugged innocently, "Even if it's me, I don't have that much skill."

Fang Zilan took a deep breath. Perhaps it was because she had always regarded Li Shengxuan as a god in the temple worshipped by everyone, with great powers and omnipotence, so when she heard these words now, she just found it incredible, as if the person in front of her was an imposter.

Li Shengxuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Fang Zilan, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm confirming." Fang Zilan tightened her grip on the invitation, "Are you Li Shengxuan?"

"Fang Zilan, you are so bold!" Xiahou Zhang, who had been guarding the door, finally couldn't help but interrupt, "How dare you call me by my name?"

He deliberately lowered his voice, looking like a puffed-up pufferfish, puffing up his cheeks but not daring to explode. Fang Zilan laughed at this and wanted to tease him, wanting to see what it would look like if the pufferfish exploded.

Li Shengxuan saw through Fang Zilan's thoughts and changed the subject first: "It doesn't matter. I am just an ordinary person now and I still need Miss Fang's support."

"Me?" Fang Zilan pointed at herself and laughed dumbly, "Give you a tip?"

"Ms. Fang is a businessman, so of course she is much better off than a poor commoner like me." Li Shengxuan looked natural. Fang Zilan held the invitation card more and more tightly, and it looked like the invitation would shatter into pieces in the next moment.

"Miss Fang, please show mercy." Li Shengxuan said seriously, "I spent a lot of effort to get this invitation. If it is destroyed..."

"So what if it's destroyed?" Fang Zilan tore up the invitation without hesitation. "I will find a new invitation for the Spring Party, a real Fang family invitation."

Li Shengxuan chuckled, "In that case, thank you for your help."
