Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1591 Keeping a Low Profile

Dugu Linxiu held the account book in front of Fang Zilan, "Three volumes in total, all here. Please accept the reward I promised, Madam Crown Prince."

Fang Zilan did not move. "This reward is my last farewell to Miss Dugu."

Dugu Linxiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and responded with a low "OK".

Dugu Ming clenched his fists and watched Dugu Linxiu take the account book, bow to Fang Zilan, and then leave without looking back. He chased after her and disappeared into the night.

Fang Zilan still stood there, with no expression on her face. Wan Jun stretched out his hand to her, "How long are you going to hide the dice in your hand?"

"When did you find out?" Fang Zilan turned over her palm and saw three dice.

"If you said you discovered it, it was when you cut your wrist just now." Wan Jun took the dice casually, turned it over and found that one side was destroyed, opposite to six, three, and one.

Fang Zilan smiled and asked, "When did you guess that?"

Wan Jun also smiled, "Once you shake the dice, there is no time to put them back."

"That gambling method is indeed interesting. I can't control the points that other people shake, so I can't be sure of winning." Fang Zilan said frankly: "In this case, it is better to let the opponent think that I can win no matter what, so that he will retreat when he knows the difficulty and change the gambling method."

"Now that we know who wins and who loses, there's no point in keeping the dice." Wan Jun didn't comment, but Fang Zilan shook her head, "If we keep it, it will become a handle."

She hinted at something, but Wan Jun didn't say anything. He let her take the dice and smash it into powder, which then dissipated into the night sky with the wind.

"Let's go, let's go back." When Fang Zilan said "go back", she didn't mean go back to the inn, but go back to the Fang family.

In the dead of night, the knock on the door sounded particularly harsh. When the night watchman opened the door and saw Fang Zilan, he almost thought that he had not woken up yet and was still confused, "Madam of the Crown Prince?"

"It's me." Fang Zilan walked in with Wan Jun. The servant closed the door. Before she could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out, "How dare you let anyone in at this late hour?"

Fang Zitong came over quickly, with obvious impatience on her face for being woken up, "I want to see who it is..."

She paused when she saw Fang Zilan, and she also stopped walking. After a while, she murmured, "Why is it you?"

"Who does second sister think it is?" Fang Zilan asked instead of answering. Fang Zitong bit her red lips lightly and did not answer her.

Fang Zilan didn't want to get entangled with Fang Zitong any more, but before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by Fang Zitong, "Wait, it's fine if you come back late at night, but what's the big deal about bringing a man with you?"

Fang Zilan looked at Wan Jun and introduced him, "This is my brother-in-law. But he is not my Fang family's brother-in-law."

Fang Zitong was choked and stunned for a moment, but still stood in front of Fang Zilan, "Now is a time of trouble, I absolutely cannot allow you to bring someone of unknown origin into the Fang family."

Hearing this, Wan Jun couldn't help but take a step forward. Just as he was about to explain, Fang Zilan stopped him and asked, "A person of unknown origin?"

She narrowed her eyes and said in a controlled tone, "Then I'd like to trouble my second sister to ask Miss Xiao to come out and see if this gentleman is someone of unknown origin."

Fang Zilan said loudly: "All those whose lands were occupied by Zhongling Temple can go down the mountain now and take back their own lands. Otherwise, if they are dragged into other troubles, I am afraid that today..."

She paused, coughed slightly and said, "My life is not guaranteed."

Hearing this, Zhou Lang stopped walking. He turned his head and looked past the firelight to Fang Zilan. She was clearly at the end of her strength, but she still stood straight, and every word she said was of great significance. As expected, as soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, the people began to whisper, and then someone boldly asked, "Is what the Crown Prince's wife said true? Queen..."

"My wife, I am true to her word." As if she was out of control, Awan interrupted the man and said in a deep voice: "With the empress as a guarantee and the Fang family's financial resources as proof, do you have any questions?"

Hearing this, Fang Zilan felt sour in her heart. Yes, the Queen is the guarantor, and the Fang family’s financial resources are proof. But what if the Fang family loses the queen and the family is exterminated?

At least, with her around, the Fang family would never reach that point.

As if sensing her uneasiness, Awan leaned towards her, blocking most of the gazes on her. "What's the matter? I don't have much patience. Although I agreed to what my elder sister said, if you don't appreciate it, it doesn't matter if I give up..."

"Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Madam Prince!"

"The Queen is the Bodhisattva who is here to save us..."

Seeing this, Awan sneered. This group of people became really fast. He immediately waved his hands and motioned for them to go down the mountain.

So Zhou Lang gave an order to his soldiers to escort the people down the mountain first and then withdraw the troops.

Only Fang Zilan remained standing there, looking at Awan and laughing softly, and asked knowingly: "Who did you learn this from?"

"Why, do they look alike?" Awan turned around and Fang Zilan smiled and shook her head, "Not even close."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Awan's dissatisfaction and walked towards Hongtai in the corner, stretched out her hand and said, "It's time to return my sword to me."

Awan then noticed that Hongtai was leaning against the wall, his whole body heaving, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No."

"Why are you trying to be brave at a time like this?" Fang Zilan said helplessly, "The Plum Sword is in my hand, you still have a chance of survival."

"What about you?" Hong Tai frowned, but Fang Zilan did not answer. Instead, she turned around and called Zhou Lang, "General Zhou, please send the Crown Prince's wife and her servants down the mountain..."

"Zi Xiu!" Hong Tai interrupted Fang Zi Lan coldly, and A Wan also reacted suddenly, "I won't leave!"

Fang Zilan had no expression on her face. She just looked at Zhou Lang steadily, "General Zhou."

Zhou Lang clenched his fists, "Since you want to send me off, why not go together? Girl, you..."

"No!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, and the blood-stained monk's face was ferocious, "Zi Xiu, do you want to escape?"

"Escape?" Fang Zilan laughed as if she had heard a joke. "I, Zixiu, am here, waiting for you to take my life."

Before she finished her words, she snatched the plum sword from Hongtai's hand and whispered in his ear, "Take Awan away."

Hongtai subconsciously wanted to grab Fang Zilan, but he couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes. He could only watch her walk up to the monk and draw out the plum sword.

"The affairs of the martial world are the affairs of the martial world. All those who have grudges against me will be settled today." Fang Zilan's face was as white as snow. The monk laughed and said, "That's great!"

Bai Moci was stunned for a moment, about to say something, but stopped himself. He saw Awan walked over and stood next to Fang Zilan, "She is from my Zhongzheng Palace. Who dares to touch her?"
