Chapter 1553 Recognition

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zilan heard Madam Fu's voice, "Madam, do you think I am sincere in what I said?"

Fang Zilan turned her head and looked at Madam Fu intently, as if she wanted to see something from her face. However, her expression was as calm as an ancient well, with only silence.

"At least five points." Fang Zilan's voice had no hesitation. Mrs. Fu did not answer, but stood up and walked over, then raised her hand to open the door.

"Please look, Madam Prince." Mrs. Fu said, raising her chin slightly and motioning Fang Zilan to look at the room on the side.

Fang Zilan looked over and heard Madam Fu say, "The young master of the Fu family lives there. A few years ago, I felt that Fen'er didn't know how to take care of him, so I asked for the child to come over."

She paused, "The child is only two years old and has not seen the dangers of the world. It would not be a bad thing if he went with the Fu family."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Madam Fu, "The young master of the Fu family is also Madam's grandson..."

"It's just in name only." Madam Fu interrupted Fang Zilan, "I have no children and I'm far away from my hometown. It's really meaningless to be alone in this big house."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and before she could speak, she heard Madam Fu say, "Now, how sincere do you think the prince's wife is?"

"Five points." Fang Zilan still did not hesitate. "If Madam is really as cold and indifferent as she said, why did her eyes turn red when she mentioned Ouyang Wei just now?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu laughed to herself, and after a while she choked up and said, "I just feel it's not worth it for my sister."

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky and murmured like a dream: "Sister, did you see that? What happened to the person who caused you to risk your life? It's retribution... It's all retribution..."

Fang Zilan felt a chill down her spine, "What did the Madam say?"

"Do you know why Ouyang Wei has been so cautious all her life?" Madam Fu suddenly turned her head and stared at Fang Zilan, saying, "That's because before she even got married, a sister in her family was beaten to death because of rumors about her."

Fang Zilan frowned and vaguely remembered that there was indeed such an old story in the Wei family. It was said that a girl from the Wei family broke her engagement and had a secret meeting with someone in the army. After being caught, she was beaten to death for the sake of family reputation.

It had been so long that she had never taken it seriously, thinking it was just one of the many groundless rumors spread by the Wei family. But now it seemed that it was not only true, but the person's sister was right in front of her.

"Is it a rumor or is it true..." Fang Zilan just opened her mouth when Madam Fu interrupted her, "If Ouyang Wei hadn't reported it, my sister..."

Madam Fu turned her head away, and it was not until a long while that Fang Zi Lan heard her voice, "Madam, we women trapped in the backyard are all helpless. You can let the Fu family die, but what use is that to me?"

"The materials used to make the Thousand Bows Crossbows by Guimen come from the same source as the banned poisonous insects and plants." Hong Tai's casual words made Fang Zilan's face change. "So, it's related to you?"

"Yes." Hong Tai nodded, "If you want to do some shady business in the southeast, you must go through Feiling Mountain."

"Why tell me?" Fang Zilan looked at Hong Tai steadily, only to see him curl his lips, "I'm afraid if I don't tell you now, I won't have a chance in the future. Since you want to protect the Fang family and me, you should at least know..."

"I don't care." Fang Zilan interrupted Hong Tai's next words, "As long as I can stay alive, I don't care about anything."

She took a deep breath and held the plum sword in front of her. "No matter what, if I can block it once, I can block it a second time."

"The next attack has not been launched yet." The monk relaxed his brows, "Maybe they blocked it..."

Before he finished speaking, thousands of silver rays appeared before his eyes, forcing him to step back a few steps and stand against the temple gate. Fang Zilan raised her sword without hesitation and took the blow. But she was also at the end of her strength and could not block all the arrows. She could only bear the arrow.

With a dull thud, Fang Zilan bumped into the temple door. The arrow wound on her shoulder was bleeding profusely and she grimaced in pain.

The purple veil on her face fell to the ground and was instantly dyed blood red.

"You are just fooling around!" Hong Tai looked gloomy. Fang Zilan hissed but still said stubbornly, "Your injuries are more serious than mine. Who knows who is fooling around..."

"If there is another attack, you won't be able to block it." The monk looked over with a gloomy expression.

"Even if she can't stop it, I still have her, right?" Hong Tai grabbed Fang Zilan's trembling wrist, pried open her clenched fingers one by one, and took away her plum sword.

"Tonight, even if I am nailed to death in front of the Zhongling Temple." Hong Tai tried his best to stand up straight and protected Fang Zilan, "I will accept it."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and stared at the back in front of her. Although he was seriously injured, he stood with a sword in his hand, looking down on everything with an arrogant look, as if he was still the boss of Feiling Mountain who had the final say.

If I really were to die in Zhongling Temple tonight, it would be worth it to have him by my side.

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan felt a long-lost tiredness and subconsciously closed her eyes. However, the next moment, flames shot up into the sky, dispelling all the darkness.

"Someone is coming!" The monk's voice was trembling with excitement. Fang Zilan narrowed her eyes, and with the support of Hongtai, they walked forward a few steps and saw the shining flag behind the fire.

The imperial flag with the character "Li" on it cannot be used by anyone except princes and above.

It turned out to be Li Qiyou?

"The Crown Prince's wife!" Zhou Lang's anxious voice came closer and closer. Fang Zilan winked at Hong Tai, who understood and said loudly, "Don't worry, young lady. The Crown Prince's wife is in Zhongling Temple. She will be fine."

Hearing that the Crown Prince's wife was fine, Zhou Lang had no time to relax when he saw Fang Zilan covered in blood. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "You..."

You know, back then in Qiluo City, Fang Zilan blocked wave after wave of swords and knives for him, but she was only in such a miserable state.

"That's a thousand-bow crossbow." Fang Zilan had no intention of hiding it from Zhou Lang, so she said bluntly: "It would be great if General Zhou could confiscate it."

"Thousand bows and crossbows?" Zhou Lang repeated the word and finally understood it. "No wonder..."

Hong Tai raised his eyebrows with a smile, "If you hadn't blocked one blow after another, General Zhou would have had a hard time standing here and talking."

"That depends on how many people General Zhou brought with him." Fang Zilan was skeptical. Zhou Lang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and bowed, "By order of King Yucheng, I, Zhou Lang of the Southeast Camp, have led 10,000 troops to meet the Crown Prince's wife."

Ten thousand? Fang Zilan thought for a moment that she had heard wrongly. Li Qiyou had no military token in hand, but he dared to order Zhou Lang to lead ten thousand troops to Zhongling Mountain. Was he crazy?

Although the matter happened suddenly and a general is not bound by the king's orders when away from home, if Li Shengxuan is obsessed with it and insists on pursuing it, I'm afraid Li Qiyou will no longer have to be the King of Yucheng.
