Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1622
Li Shengxuan stared at the stubborn and almost paranoid man in front of him and sighed imperceptibly. He had known Fang Zilan for so long, and if he could say when he hated her the most, it would be right now.

When Fang Zilan heard the voice, she suddenly thought she had misheard. Since she knew Li Shengxuan, he sometimes killed and made decisions, sometimes planned and strategized, but no matter when and where, he was always calm and composed. Such a sigh should not come from him.

So she subconsciously looked over and met Li Shengxuan's gaze, which contained a sense of loss and more of reluctance, which made her unable to bear to look any further and finally turned her head away.

Until Li Shengxuan left in anger, Fang Zilan never looked beyond the fence again.

Now that things have come to this, Mo Han is afraid that he will hate her for the rest of his life. She does not ask for forgiveness, but only hopes that she can use her life to calm the anger of the world and leave a way out for Mo Han.

But in the capital city where undercurrents are surging, the powerful are always flattered and the weak are bullied. Once a person loses power, the people around him will also fall into an irretrievable situation and it will be difficult for them to recover.

The officials headed by the Censorate finally got the chance and wrote letters to criticize Fang Zilan for several days in a row, not only demanding severe punishment but also suggesting collective punishment.

As everyone knows, the only relative Fang Zilan acknowledges is Mo Han, and behind Mo Han is the family of Mo Bin, the defender of Mushan Pass. Even if the entire Mo family is wiped out, the impact on the court will be no more than throwing a stone into the sea and will not cause much waves.

The court officials simply focused their attention on the people around Fang Zilan, from General Li and Protector Qi who guarded the northern border, to Zhou Lang, the head of the southeast camp, and even Cao Hong who had just left Beijing, all became their targets of attack.

It was like a mad dog that smelled meat, rushing forward to bite indiscriminately, and what it could gain was not so important. What was important was that the original vested interests must be torn to pieces.

As the lord of Dajing, Li Shengxuan has lived in the palace city of the capital since he was a child and is accustomed to such scenes.

Everyone knows that wildfires cannot be completely extinguished and will grow again with the spring breeze, so only by cutting the grass at its roots can we solve the problem once and for all.

But is this really the case? When someone falls into the abyss, someone else stands on the top. The higher you stand, the easier it is for you to become the target of everyone's covetousness. This is true for the royal family and the court officials as well.

Once Fang Zilan falls, the generals who grew up under her will inevitably be treated coldly. They are all generals guarding the four borders. No matter which one of them gets into trouble, it will endanger the stability of Dajing.

However, the officials living in the prosperous capital only saw the power in front of them, but not the swords at the border. In their eyes, it didn't matter who the generals of the four borders were, as long as there was no war in the capital, they could rest easy.

Only those who have actually been on the battlefield and guarded the border know that war is not just a chess move in the hands of those in high positions, but a matter of life and death involving the lives of millions of people.

"Miss, why are you..." Wu Huan frowned. Before he could ask the question, Fang Zi Lan said, "For the sake of our acquaintance, I will give you one last piece of advice. Go as far as you can and don't work for him anymore."

Wuhuan's expression was stern, and his face was full of displeasure. Seeing this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but add one more sentence, "The Ten Kings of Hell, Qianmo Dao, Lu Tian... Each of them is stronger than you, but none of them survived. Do you think, even if I let you go today, how long can you live?"

"Of course I want to live a long life..." Wu Huan said with a lack of confidence. A Wan, who was supported by Fang Zi Lan, recovered and sneered, "You are like this, and you still want to live a long life. Are you dreaming?"

"Little Awan, at least I'm better than you." Wuhuan was about to argue with Awan, but she sneered, "Try if you're capable..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fang Zilan stopped the dispute in time, "Come on, when has the two of you ever decided the winner? Since you both don't like each other, why don't you stay away from each other? Out of sight, out of mind."

"You don't even want to help me?" A Wan looked at Fang Zi Lan angrily. Seeing that she shrugged indifferently, she said, "How can I help you? Help you kill Wu Huan?"

A Wan stamped her feet in anger, "That's not what I meant..." "Whatever you mean, let's talk about it when we get back." Fang Zi Lan interrupted A Wan's words and her eyes fell on Xia Hou Zhang, "Someone wants to settle accounts with Wu Huan, it's not appropriate for us to be here."

"You mean..." Awan was stunned for a moment, and before she could say anything, she was dragged away by Fang Zilan.

"I won't kill Wuhuan, but that doesn't mean others won't kill him." Fang Zilan's voice was very light, but it sounded like thunder in Awan's ears. "Wuhuan is indeed not a good guy, but he is half my senior brother after all..."

"I remember your master expelled Wuhuan from the sect." Fang Zilan said expressionlessly, "Could it be possible that he took him back again?"

"That's not the case." Awan lowered her head. Fang Zilan snorted, "I think your master is not confused either."

When Fang Zilan mentioned Wen Ya, A Wan was like a cock with high fighting spirit, and kept asking, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Where's my medicine?" Fang Zilan spread out her hands. A Wan patted them unhappily. "It's ready. Wait, I'll get it for you."

After she said that, she ran away, but Fang Zilan stopped and looked back.

They had already walked some distance away, so they had no idea what Li Shengxuan and Wuhuan were talking about or doing. But seeing that Xiahou Zhang was seriously injured, it seemed that Li Shengxuan would not let Wuhuan go easily.

However, why was Wu Huan expelled from the sect by Wen Ya?

Fang Zilan fell into deep thought, and in her memories there was a faint voice saying -

"Once you become a medicine puppet, you will not only be immune to all poisons, but you will also be the strongest poison in the world. Master, you can become a medicine puppet, why can't I?"

"No." Li Shengxuan interrupted Xiahou Zhang neatly, "I don't like it, and I won't be threatened. If they think they can force me to deal with Fang Zilan in this way, then they are wrong."

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Xiahou Zhang bowed, "Fang Zilan has confessed to her crimes. There is really no reason not to punish her..."

Li Shengxuan glanced at Xiahou Zhang, who immediately fell silent, bowed his head and repeated, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiahou Zhang stood there for a long time, maintaining the saluting posture, before he heard Li Shengxuan speak again: "Are all the officials kneeling outside?"

Xiahou Zhang hurriedly replied: "Except for Lord Weiguo, the two Lords of the Zhuge family, and Lord Prime Minister, all other Lords are outside."

Li Shengxuan hesitated for a moment, "Including the officials in charge of Southeast Affairs in the capital?"

"Including." Xiahou Zhang nodded. Li Shengxuan snorted coldly, "What kind of people did Fang Zilan bring with her? They are ungrateful wolves."
