Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1511 Prejudgment

"Get out!" Fang Zilan shouted loudly, and the ghost faces appeared around them like phantoms, surrounding the two of them.

"Young Master, do you really want to die?" Fang Zilan sneered. The Ghost Face in the lead hesitated for a moment, and the next moment he was stabbed in the throat by her sword, without even having time to make a sound.

"What? Do you think you can take advantage of me since I'm injured?" Fang Zilan sheathed the sword, seemingly having no intention of attacking again.

The other ghost faces hesitated, not daring to move forward or retreat.

"Go back and tell your young master a message." Fang Zilan said, stretching out her hand to pull Awan onto the horse, "The queen has issued an imperial decree, intending to return the land to the people, and her reputation will surely grow. He can't touch the Fang family. He can't kill me either."

Awan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Fang Zilan was going to use the ghost mask as a tool to spread news.

"Zi Xiu, why should we trust you?" A ghost could not help but question. Fang Zi Lan snorted coldly, "There are two ways. Either you die here, or go back and report. Maybe the young master will spare your life."

As soon as she said this, the ghost faces were shaken, so she continued: "Even if I am injured, I am more than capable of killing you. If you don't believe me, why not come up and give it a try."

The ghost faces hesitated, but in the blink of an eye, the plum sword in Fang Zilan's hand was unsheathed again, and a flash of silver light passed by, saving a life.

"Are you not leaving yet?" Awan reminded, and the ghost faces disappeared without a trace.

Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief, but A Wan, with a sullen face, pressed on: "Now that things have come to this, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It doesn't matter what I want to do." Fang Zilan said faintly: "What matters is that it's too late."

"What do you mean?" Awan frowned. Fang Zilan tightened the reins. "If you don't go back to the Fang family, it will be too late."

This is an unsolvable game of chess. We can only wait for a new player to enter the game in the future, or there may be an opportunity to bring King Rong'an to justice. But will that day really come?

Fang Zilan was not afraid of returning to Beijing to face her own ending, but because of her, Mo Han and everyone around him had been targeted. If something happened to her, who could protect them?

"Boss?" Deputy General Cao waved his hand in front of her. She looked up and said abruptly, "Old Cao, when you return to Beijing, stay in the Jingjiao Camp. You are not allowed to return to Fang Mansion unless I look for you. If I don't look for you within three days, you must pester Lord Wei to put you back in the Jingjiao Camp."

"Boss, you..." Deputy General Cao's heart sank. Before he could say anything, he saw her look at A Wan and said, "And you, go find your master when you get to the capital, and don't follow me anymore."

Ah Wan's eyes suddenly widened. "Do you know something? This is simply..."

Fang Zilan suddenly covered her mouth, forcing her to swallow the last four words of instructions for the aftermath, and then asked worriedly: "Will you be okay?"

"Let me ask you this in another way." Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "Will you come back safely?" After she finished speaking, without waiting for Awan's response, she continued, "I will come back safely. I'm only telling you this just in case."

She said it calmly, but Lieutenant General Cao and Awan both hung their heads, looking extremely depressed.

Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid His Majesty will send someone to arrest me." Awan didn't say anything more, just nodded, turned around and led the horse. Deputy General Cao looked at her, hesitant to say something, and finally got on the horse with her and rushed back to the capital.

The three of them parted ways outside the capital. Fang Zilan took back half of the white jade tiger talisman from Deputy General Cao and walked towards the city gate alone. Not long after she walked, she saw Xiahou Zhang waiting at the door.

When Xiahou Zhang saw her, he took her into the palace without saying anything. She followed Xiahou Zhang through the palace gates and corridors, feeling more uneasy with every step she took.

When Xiahou Zhang stopped walking outside the imperial study, she also stopped, straightened her clothes, and said to Xiahou Zhang, "Thank you for your help."

Xiahou Zhang was stunned for a moment without saying anything. She ignored his reaction and walked straight into the imperial study.

Li Shengxuan stood in front of the territory map and did not turn around when he heard the noise behind him. After Fang Zilan saluted, he remained in his original position without moving.

Fang Zilan knelt on one knee, took out the half white jade tiger talisman from her bosom, and respectfully held it between her brows, "The white jade tiger talisman is now returned to your majesty."

After hearing this, Li Shengxuan finally turned around. He looked at the man kneeling straight and asked calmly, "Why did you return the white jade tiger talisman to me?"

Fang Zilan raised her head, her expression calm, "I have failed your majesty's trust, and I feel ashamed to accept it, so I return it."

"Are you ashamed?" Li Shengxuan repeated these two words pointedly, and then said: "To eradicate the pirates and cure the plague, what are you ashamed of?"

"I left the Mo family behind for selfish reasons." Fang Zilan looked calm. Li Shengxuan clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, but his face remained expressionless. "What else?"

"Prince Rong'an has evil intentions. We must be on guard." Fang Zilan pursed her lips and whispered, "No more."

Li Shengxuan's expression gradually turned cold. If it weren't for the words that Prince Rong'an had evil intentions and needed to be guarded against, he would really have thought that she was in cahoots with Prince Rong'an. He said in a deep voice, "Do you know what Prince Rong'an did?"

"What your Majesty is asking is that King Rongan sold his official position and allowed his subordinates to bully men and women, fornicated with pirates in order to cede territory and betray the country, and sent infected fishermen out of the island to cause the plague to spread." Fang Zilan looked into his eyes without any intention of avoiding, "I know .”

What she said was even worse than the souvenirs from the Xiahou family. Li Shengxuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice: "Since you know it, why don't you retaliate?"

"Prince Rong'an is not someone who can be drowned with a spit. I don't have evidence, so I can't do anything to him." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes slightly, "Besides, the situation in the southeast is complicated. If we are not careful, we will cause bigger trouble. I am not sure..."

"Fang Zilan!" Li Shengxuan interrupted her sharply, "Who is Mo Han to you? For him, have you even ignored your responsibilities as the Duke of Yue?"

"Mo Han is my cousin." Fang Zilan met his gaze and said firmly: "But I didn't forget my responsibilities for him."

"Fang Zilan, if you are said to have ulterior motives, you not only asked General Xiahou to quell the pirates, but also went into the epidemic area alone regardless of life and death. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are doing it for the country and the people. But if you are said to be loyal to your duties, you concealed all the crimes of King Rong'an and privately pardoned the Mo family, turning a deaf ear to my words." Li Shengxuan sighed quietly, "People's hearts are treacherous, how can I trust you?"
