Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1651 Returning Home
"It seems that Prince Rong'an is not only well-protected, but also spoiled. He is used to getting whatever he wants, and once someone fails to meet his wishes, he will eliminate them at all costs." Fang Zilan's expression became colder. "Some people take the world as their responsibility, while others take the world as themselves. They will do anything to achieve their goals, even if it means going against morality." When she said the last sentence, her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Deputy General Cao looked up at her, and she said in a deep voice, "Deputy General Cao, listen to my orders. I order you to take the white jade tiger talisman back to the Southeast Camp and pass on the message. Make sure to let His Majesty know that Prince Rong'an is secretly colluding with pirates and selling out his country."

She took out the white jade tiger talisman from her bosom and handed it to Deputy General Cao. "I will open all the prison doors and wake up all the pirates. I will make it look like they are trying to escape from prison. Then I will make as much noise as possible to alert the guards of Mushan Pass to arrest them. You will leave in the chaos and don't stay any longer."

"Boss, what about you and Miss Awan?" Deputy General Cao looked at Fang Zilan worriedly. A complicated expression flashed across her face. "I will stay and deal with the affairs of the Mo family."

"The Mo family?" Deputy General Cao was unable to react for a moment, and asked blankly, "Mo Bin did not rebel, so what else is there to deal with in the Mo family?"

Fang Zilan snorted coldly and said, "Mo Bin not only detained all the pirates he captured without questioning or torturing them, but he also detained the people sent by the Southeast Camp to investigate. Do you think he doesn't know anything?"

"Boss, what you mean is that Mo Bin is very likely to know that Prince Rong'an is colluding with pirates and selling out his country?" Deputy General Cao was stunned. A Wan was also shocked. "If Mo Bin knew, why didn't he report it to the capital?"

"All officials in the southeast are controlled by King Rong'an. I'm afraid that before Mo Bin's letter reaches the capital, the Mo family will be in trouble." Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly. "From what I have learned about Mo Bin in the past two days, he attaches great importance to his family. He even surrendered to the capital for his family. Therefore, today's scene is probably the result of his weighing of pros and cons in order to protect his family."

"If Mo Bin pretends to be deaf and dumb, then it will be very dangerous for you and Miss Awan to stay here, Boss?" Deputy General Cao frowned, and Fang Zilan said to comfort him: "Don't worry, since Mo Bin pretends to be deaf and dumb, he will definitely not dare to touch anyone easily, especially people like me and Awan who come from unknown backgrounds."

"But if our lives are at stake, who knows what Mo Bin will do?" Awan's voice was a little bitter, and Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "So we have to stay. Awan, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." A Wan looked straight into her eyes, her eyes clear and bright, "If you want to stay, I'll stay with you."

"Okay." Fang Zilan nodded slightly. "Without further delay, I'll go open the prison door. Awan, you and Lao Cao wake up these pirates."

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Cao swallowed back his words of dissuasion. He clenched the white jade tiger talisman in his hand and nodded heavily.

Awan looked at the incomparably determined look in her eyes and the smile on her face that was as light as a flower in the snow and would disappear in the next moment. As if she was bewitched by something, she stopped talking and concentrated on giving her acupuncture.

Until someone slammed hard against the door, and the voice of the person who came rang out again, "Since we each serve our own masters, we have no choice but to offend each other."

Before he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.

Fang Zilan stood by the door and smiled, "Since you are here for me, how can I not see you?"

Before Qi Yuming, Shangguan Min and Lieutenant General Cao could react, the man's sword had already stabbed straight at Fang Zilan.

She dodged and slashed with the plum sword in her hand to separate herself from the person who came. In an instant, the two of them exchanged positions.

The moonlight in the courtyard was bright, the stars were dim, and the fine snowflakes from the sky were falling with the wind. In a short while, a thin blanket of snowflakes was spread on the ground. Fang Zilan stood tall on the snow in the courtyard, her shadow stretched out very long.

She tilted her head slightly and pursed her lips, looking so lonely and cold that no one dared to look at her closely.

"You came to avenge Lu Tang, so come to me. It has nothing to do with others." She said, casually making a sword flower, the plum sword in her hand shining coldly under the moonlight, "Let's fight, if I lose, you can take my life. But if you lose, you have to obey my orders from now on."

"Arrogant." The man snorted with disdain and rushed towards Fang Zilan with sword in hand. His moves were ruthless and his deadly sword moves made the other three people in the yard tremble with fear.

However, Fang Zilan never faced the enemy head-on. She kept retreating and dodging, which made the enemy gradually lose his patience. He danced with his sword so tightly that it could not penetrate her completely.

Although Fang Zilan was very agile, she was still inevitably injured under the relentless pursuit of such a fast sword master. Her arms and legs were covered with sword wounds, which made people feel distressed.

The man obviously saw that Fang Zilan was not able to do it, so he used more dangerous moves and went straight for her throat. His moves were so fast that even Qi Yuming at the side had no time to stop him. He could only yell, "Be careful!"

In a flash, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared under the moon, blocking everyone's view. Only blood looked like red plum blossoms falling from the smoke onto the snow, forming blood flowers that were so red that they were dazzling.

When several people took a closer look, Fang Zilan was already standing under the tree in the courtyard. The person who came covered his chest and fell in front of her. He spat fiercely, "This kind of despicable method is also unacceptable." It was you women who made it happen."

"You seem to be unconvinced?" Fang Zilan walked up to him and looked at the visitor condescendingly, "What's wrong with women? You look down on women so much. Are you not born and raised by a woman?"

"Awan, this is the Mystery Valley." Fang Zilan interrupted her coldly, "Even if they were bribed, they can only tell the truth under the influence of the Mystery Valley."

"If what they said is true, then what Prince Rong'an did..." Awan didn't dare to continue. Fang Zilan sighed and said, "It is undoubtedly treason."

"Prince Rong'an is the emperor's uncle and has a high status. He has no reason to do this." A Wan refuted. Fang Zilan's expression turned colder. "So what? People's selfish desires and greed cannot be satisfied by a high status."

Awan bit her lip and said nothing. Deputy General Cao beside her clenched his fists, lowered his head and remained silent.

Soon the pirates woke up one after another. When they woke up, they saw the prison door was wide open. They didn't know what was going on, but they heard Deputy General Cao whisper to them: "Hurry up and leave!"

The pirates reacted and hurried out. Seeing that there was no one around, they quickened their pace and ran all the way to the gate of the government prison.
