Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1618 Aftermath
"Since you can guess it even if I don't say it, there's no need for me to say it." Hongtai's expression turned cold, and the smile on Fang Zilan's face faded a bit, "Master, tell me and guess it with me. , is completely different.”

"Fang Zilan, you never planned to let me go." Hongtai almost gritted his teeth, "Do you think that by using me, I can make up for the crime, and the court can forget about it?"

"I am handing over power and resigning, and it doesn't matter what I say." Fang Zilan didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. "But King Yucheng has the final say, so I hand you over to him and hope you change your ways."

"Reform?" Hongtai seemed to have heard something ridiculous and laughed out loud, "Fang Zilan, if you say this, do you believe it? I am a prisoner of the imperial court and will never be redeemed. No one will believe me. No one will give me a chance..."

"I believe you." Fang Zilan interrupted Hongtai's next words and whispered, "I know what it feels like to want to pay with your life. I also know the torment of not being able to pay with your life."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've asked myself many times, why wasn't I the one who died?"

Zhen Mier turned her head away, and Hongtai opened her mouth, "Fang Zilan..."

"No matter what, the one who is alive is me and you." Fang Zilan pursed her lips, with a look of determination in her eyes, "Since you are alive, you cannot live in vain."

It seemed like for the first time in her life, she spoke out all the words in her heart, "My parents want the mountains and rivers to be eternal, and I have conquered the four realms, but they have fulfilled their wishes. Mo Han wants to revise the law and bring justice to the world. , I went down to the south of the Yangtze River and flew up to the Lingshan Mountain to collect evidence of evil deeds, and it was not in vain. The ghost gate destroyed Chu Bin and the Jianghu people killed him, so I will eradicate the ghost gate and clean up the rivers and lakes. "

"Lan'er, you..." Zhen Mi'er finally understood that what Cui Hai was selling in Zuiyue Tower was not only the news about his senior brother that he had longed for, but also a favor.

Fang Zilan's move is aimed at the future. With Cui Hai as his son, Daomen Huo family, Xiaojinghu, Wuliangdian... all Jianghu sects will be drawn into a game called grudges.

Ever since the mountain bandit killed the first Jianghu person, the two sides were destined to never live in peace. Just like the two sides black and white on a chessboard, it will not end until one side is strangled.

Zhen Mier felt cold all over her body. It was such a good trick and a good plan. When did Fang Zilan not only use herself as a pawn, but also treat everyone as a pawn?

No. Treating everyone as chess pieces can only be done by those who hold the chess pieces.

It turned out that at a certain moment that she had never noticed, Fang Zilan finally stepped out of her identity as a chess piece and became the one who holds the piece in the games. However, Fang Zilan herself seems not to be fully aware of this yet...

"Then what do you want?" Hongtai heard his own voice, trembling unnoticeably, but he had to ask.

"I want a place of my own." Fang Zilan's voice faded, filled with a sense of helplessness, "Then, go home."

Fang Zilan has known Pei Xiaoze for more than a day or two. Although he is not a coward, judging from his actions, he is not someone who would risk his life. She did not expect that he had managed to hold on for so long, until Li Qiyou came to take over.

Judging from her conversation with Pei Xiaoze just now, he didn't know that Li Qiyou would come, let alone that Li Qiyou came here to take over the fiefdom of King Rong'an. But he still gritted his teeth and took it all on, and even wrote a suicide note in advance...

Fang Zilan recalled the moment when she pulled the suicide note from Pei Xiaoze's desk. His face turned pale as if his secret had been discovered. It was really interesting - everyone in the world is afraid of death, but he has changed his personality.

"My little beauty, when did you like to be a thief?" Hong Tai turned over lightly and sat beside Fang Zilan, blocking the wind for her without making a sound.

"All solved?" Fang Zilan looked over and Hong Tai squinted leisurely, "Solved. But this Mr. Pei's life is quite valuable, and more than one group of people want it." "Normal." Fang Zilan said in an ambiguous tone, "After all, he is a member of the Pei family, so he has some value."

"A mere Lord Pei is worth so much?" Hong Tai raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, saying without comment: "Isn't the value of His Royal Highness King Yucheng even higher?"

Fang Zilan nodded, "Yes. Otherwise, why would I bother you?"

"It's rare for a little beauty to be so sweet." Hong Tai moved closer to Fang Zilan, "Just for what the little beauty said, I will work hard without complaint."

Fang Zilan slightly pushed Hongtai away, restrained her expression and said, "Let's go."

After she finished speaking, she climbed down the roof and returned to the inn quietly. Hongtai followed her, and the bloody smell on his hands dissipated in the night wind.

"You're finally back." A Wan leaned against the pillar and waved to Fang Zilan. She walked over quickly and said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Your little prince has woken up and is looking for you everywhere." Awan yawned unhappily, "I don't like his noise, so I secretly gave him some medicine. He will probably come to bother you tomorrow morning. But..."

She paused deliberately, and Fang Zilan asked, "But what?"

"The general surnamed Meng beside your young master must have discovered something is wrong." A Wan opened her sleepy eyes, "Even I can see that this is not the way back to the capital, let alone them? I don't care what you want to do, but the young master may not, and the general surnamed Meng is not an easy person to deal with. You should think about how to deal with them."

"You waited for me just to tell me this?" Fang Zilan reached out to gather the cloak around Awan's shoulders. Her cold fingertips brushed against her neck, causing her to shudder and sober up a little. "What else could it be?"

"If taking a detour delays our time..." Fang Zilan did not continue, but her deep tone was an obvious doubt.

A Wan pursed her lips and said, "My master suffered a lot to send me out of the capital. Now his life is in the hands of the young master, and he is the bargaining chip to order me around. If I fail to return on time and the young master becomes suspicious... From now on, I may not have a master anymore."

Fang Zilan said thoughtfully, "Is he really willing to take your master's life?"

"Willing to?" A Wan snorted coldly, "He is willing to let you die, so how could he be unwilling to let my master die?"

"It's different." Fang Zilan said calmly: "His hidden illness is only known by your master. If you kill your master, unless..."

He recovered.

Awan took a deep breath and said, "You mean..."

"I didn't say anything." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan, "That's your master. You should know better than anyone how he treats you."
