Chapter 1639 Timing
Awan held on to the door frame tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down before she dared to walk over to see the seriously injured and unconscious Fang Zilan.

Even though he had heard about her plan, Awan still felt a chill running down his spine when he saw her almost silent on the bed. She was really capable of risking her life. If she had been half an inch longer, I'm afraid she would have died on the spot and even the gods would not be able to save her.

"You are really..." Awan gritted his teeth, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe Fang Zilan. He could only tear open her clothes with trembling hands, and then put his hand on the handle of the knife.

"Is it worth it?" Awan's voice was very soft. She knew that no one could answer her, but she still couldn't help asking.

At the same time, he drew the knife to stop the bleeding and treated the wound in one go. He was afraid that if he was slow for a moment, the person in front of him would lose his life.

After finishing everything, Awan breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and walked out. Li Shengxuan, who was waiting at the door, looked tense and asked, "How is her injury?"

"It's a critical injury and there's a lot of blood loss. It's unclear whether she can wake up." Awan told the truth, but Li Shengxuan was stunned, "How is it possible, she..."

"I know what your Majesty wants to say." Awan took a deep breath, thinking that the matter was over, she might as well add fuel to the flames and contribute to Fang Zilan's plan.

So she said with a cold face: "Even if Fang Zilan has great martial arts and is the best in the world, he will inevitably be careless and chaotic. If the knife was directed towards her, she would not be seriously injured even if she could not avoid it. But she was blocking it for His Majesty. How can you care so much about the knife? Do you still have time to carefully calculate where you are injured and whether it is serious? "

Li Shengxuan's expression froze, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what does your majesty mean?" Awan looked at Li Shengxuan aggressively and said angrily: "It was only half an inch. If the knife had been half an inch longer, she would have been killed immediately, and your majesty would not be suspicious here."

"I..." Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, but found that no matter what he said, it was just a guilty conscience. Fang Zilan almost lost her life because of him, but he was deeply suspicious because of her unknown identity...

"If you want me to die, I have to die." A Wan said coldly every word: "If your majesty still can't trust Fang Zilan, why not go in and kill her now, so as to save her from being heartbroken when she wakes up."

After saying that, she left without looking back. She didn't even bother to make any superficial gestures of bowing out, as if she wasn't afraid of offending Li Shengxuan at all.

The moment A Wan's figure disappeared, Li Shengxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, staggered a few steps, leaned against the beam and gasped for air.

As the emperor of the capital, he was arrogant among all the heroes, but at this moment he was extremely depressed. His sharp eyes were like an eagle slowly folding its wings, becoming gray and confused, and his trembling shoulders revealed his emotions, which had always been intangible.

He was filled with fear that he had never experienced before, a fear that he had never experienced before after being in the gate of hell several times.

He never thought that Fang Zilan would block the knife for him, nor did he think that he would lose his composure because of it, but the rage and uneasiness that surged out in an instant overcame all reason, making him not care about hiding his clumsiness, and he raised his sword and killed the assassin.

If the situation was not critical and Fang Zilan fell in his arms, he would have even wished to cut the assassin into pieces...

However, no matter what he did, he could not change the fact that Fang Zilan was now on the line between life and death. He would rather she argued with him endlessly and said bad words, even if she raised eyebrows and glared at him with swords, rather than face her current state of anger.

As long as she can stand in front of him properly and alive, what's the importance of identity? What does it matter what she wants to do, who she wants to protect?
Unfortunately, he understood it too late.

Huangfu Lin's face flashed with a hint of sarcasm, "Lord Fang is talking too lightly about such an important matter as military power. I will report today's events to His Majesty word for word." "Okay." Fang Zilan nodded, and said thoughtfully, "I originally thought that General Huangfu would understand and cover up this matter for Qi Yuming, but now it seems that I can only report it to His Majesty for punishment."

Huangfu Lin was stunned when he heard this. "What does Lord Fang mean? What does this have to do with General Qi?"

"Qi Yuming's crime of privately dispatching troops to Sanyuan Village is unforgivable, but killing all those people in Sanyuan Village who were plotting evil is also a meritorious service. In addition, Shangguan Jiuren was involved in this matter. I wanted to make a decision on my own and not pursue the matter anymore." Fang Zilan smiled and said, "But since General Huangfu is so impartial, then let His Majesty decide. I think it will be the best decision."

"You said that General Qi mobilized troops without permission?" Huangfu Lin was shocked. Fang Zilan just smiled and said, "If General Huangfu doesn't believe me, you can call a few soldiers and ask them."

After Fang Zilan finished speaking, she ordered Lieutenant General Qin to call the soldiers who had just killed the wolf into the tent.

Huang Fulin said: "Let me ask you, who asked you to make preparations early and go to Sanyuan Village today?"

"It's General Qi." Several people answered without hesitation, and even their answers were exactly the same.

Huangfu Lin's expression changed almost imperceptibly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Several people nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course we dare not lie to you, sir."

"What have you prepared?" Huangfu Lin asked in a serious tone.

Several people lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look at him.

Fang Zilan leaned leisurely on the main seat and said nonchalantly: "Just tell the truth to General Huangfu. Don't be afraid."

After getting Fang Zilan's consent, the others dared to speak, one after another, "We followed the instructions of General Qi and prepared saltpeter, kerosene, and some crossbows."

"All of this was the order of General Qi?" Huangfu Lin's voice became a little deeper, and several people nodded like crazy, "All of this was the order of General Qi."

Huang Fulin asked unwillingly: "Didn't Lord Fang ask you to do this?"

"Lord Fang?" Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. "Lord Fang didn't ask us to do anything. We just followed General Qi to Sanyuan Village..."

"Enough!" Huangfu Lin interrupted several people unable to bear it any longer, his tone filled with uncontrollable anger.

"General Huangfu, why should you be angry? They are just soldiers in the camp. They have to obey orders from their superiors." Fang Zilan said and waved her hand, indicating that they could go down first. They hurriedly left as if they had been pardoned.

Huangfu Lin looked at the person on the main seat steadily, his expression was full of secrecy, "Master Fang is right. But now the Lord of the North Territory is you, you are the one above them."

"What does Lord Huangfu want to say?" Fang Zilan stopped smiling and said solemnly, "I know Lord Huangfu has always valued Qi Yuming, but Lord Huangfu's appreciation cannot guarantee that Qi Yuming will not do anything wrong. Now that things have come to this, since Lord Huangfu wants to present the matter to His Majesty truthfully, as the Lord of the Northern Territory, I will naturally not do nothing."
