Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 328
Fang Zilan looked down at the ground, and said calmly: "I can't guess this, please forgive me for my stupidity, Your Majesty."

"Fang Zilan, I remember you once said that you are the independent killer Zixiu." Li Shengxuan looked at the person in front of him fixedly, with a gloomy expression, "Are you related to the ghost gate?"

Fang Zilan raised her eyes slightly, and met Li Shengxuan's eyes. For some reason, she hesitated, and a voice in her heart said not to lie to him.But reason told her that it was a matter of identity, and she could never tell the truth.

"It doesn't matter." Fang Zilan heard her own voice and said word by word: "Since he is an independent killer, he will not take orders from anyone except his employer."

Hearing this, Li Shengxuan laughed lightly, "I can be your employer?"

"It used to be." Fang Zilan said directly without hesitation: "When I was the Duke of Beiguo, the deal with His Majesty was already concluded."

"Since that's the case, how about I discuss a new deal with you?" Li Shengxuan's expression became a little serious, and Fang Zilan was silent for a moment, "If it was Zixiu before, maybe he would agree. But Fang Zilan in front of His Majesty will not agree."

Li Shengxuan's eyes darkened, "Are you going to reject me even if you don't even ask me what kind of deal I'm talking about?"

"There's no need to ask." Fang Zilan looked confident, "The former Zixiu never took life seriously, whether it was someone else's or her own. So as long as the conditions are negotiated, she will complete the task at all costs. But before His Majesty Fang Zilan not only values ​​his own life, but also has other things more important than his life. With me like this, I can no longer negotiate deals with His Majesty."

"Forget it." Li Shengxuan looked relieved, "It's getting late, you should step back."

"Yes." Fang Zilan stepped back in response, Li Shengxuan looked at her back, and couldn't help thinking, what is the thing she said was more important than life?

When Fang Zilan came out of the palace, she was thinking about the assassination of King Rong An all the way, and somehow figured out a clue, but there were many doubts about this matter, and she still needed someone from the ghost family to answer her questions.

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan quickly walked into the mansion. Deputy General Cao paced back and forth in the courtyard. When he saw her come back, he hurried up to greet her, "Boss, what happened to your Majesty calling you into the palace?"

"It's nothing." Fang Zilan shook her head, and was about to cover up the matter, but suddenly she had a thought, and suddenly raised her voice: "Old Cao, Mo Han said a few days ago that he was going to Gusu, I asked You pick a few guards to follow, you pick them yourself, right?"

"That's right." Deputy General Cao nodded, "When our family chose the guards of the family back then, the people who came directly from the guards of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing were not weak in their skills. Let alone I gave Mr. Mo The selected guards are all first-class and powerful, more than enough to deal with local thugs, thugs and bandits."

"That's good." Fang Zilan deliberately raised her voice: "I heard that the southeast land is not peaceful recently, and there are ghost killers appearing in and out. Your Majesty called me into the palace to talk about this."

As soon as Awan heard the movement, she heard Fang Zilan's last words and couldn't help repeating, "Ghost Killer?"

Her voice was not too loud, but it was just enough for Cong Rong and Xiao Xuan'er in the hall to hear clearly.

Cong Rong turned pale, "What killer?"

Xiao Xuan'er didn't speak, just looked at Cong Rong quietly, and said after a while: "Miss Cong, don't be afraid, Master Fang is talking about official business."

This sentence came to Awan's ears as if to remind her, she gathered herself together, went to the courtyard and tugged on Fang Zilan's sleeve, yawned and said: "What time is it, what business can't we talk about tomorrow? Let's go, go back to bed and go to bed."

Fang Zilan understood, and let Awan drag her to the backyard, not forgetting to turn around and tell Vice General Cao to rest early.

When the two returned to the room, A Wan couldn't help asking: "You said there are ghost killers in the southeast, what do you mean?"

Fang Zilan rested her chin on her hand, and said slowly: "King Rong An was assassinated, and he wrote a memorial to report to Beijing, saying that it was the murder of the ghost killer."

A Wan's expression turned serious, "Could it be that you said before that King Rong An knew about Ghost Gate and Hidden Sword Villa, and used it to test you. These lies made you want to kill?"

Fang Zilan was amused in her heart, but considering that Awan didn't know that King Rong An had colluded with Guimen, it was normal to have such thoughts, and immediately said seriously: "No, the throne of Rong An is high and powerful, and he is still a relative of the emperor. If it is not a last resort, the young master will not kill him."

"Why is that?" A Wan was at a loss, "Not to mention the failure of the ghost killer to assassinate King Rong An, he even exposed his identity. How could there be such a careless killer in the ghost gate?"

"That's right." Fang Zilan said with a half-smile, "If there is, you won't need others to do it, and the young master has killed him hundreds of times."

A Wanxiu frowned slightly, "You mean, all of this is intentional?"

"It's hard to say." Fang Zilan calmed down and said: "But since it is related to the ghost gate, it is natural that the relevant people know what the truth is."

"Don't say I didn't remind you." A Wan looked at Fang Zilan helplessly, "Young master said he didn't want to see you, you can't..."

She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, blinked her eyes before continuing: "Could it be that you want me to..."

Fang Zilan stared at A Wan with a smile, staring straight at her heart, stomping her feet and said: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"It's fine as usual, don't do too much." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, Awan's eyes widened, not daring to answer: "What did you say?"

Seeing this, Fang Zilan pinched A Wan's face with her hands, and laughed, "What do you think I mean by what I said in the courtyard just now? Just wait and see, within ten days, someone from the ghost family will come to take the initiative Find me."

"Is this called leading the snake out of the hole?" A Wan asked suspiciously, and the smile on Fang Zilan's face faded a little.

She couldn't tell anyone that Li Shengxuan's doubts and temptations started from the moment she entered the palace.Now that there is any trouble in her house, it cannot escape Li Shengxuan's eyes. If there is any contact with the ghost gate at this time, her lies will be exposed in an instant.

Seeing that she didn't respond, A Wan waved her hand in front of her eyes, "Isn't it?"

Fang Zilan didn't answer, but instead said: "Awan, from now on, you are just a doctor girl in my family, my sister. Whether it is the ghost gate or... Wen Ya, it has nothing to do with you. You can understand Do I mean?"

A Wan was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "I understand."

In the next few days, everyone in the mansion was as usual, Fang Zilan was busy with official duties, leaving early and returning late, Awan went out with Xiao Xuaner or Cong Rong when he had nothing to do, and occasionally went to the mansion with Deputy General Cao to deliver a meal to Fang Zilan.

In the afternoon of that day, when A Wan and Deputy General Cao returned home after sending their meals, they saw a string of dotted symbols in an inconspicuous place beside the outer wall of the mansion, and at the end there was a small sun wheel symbol.

Deputy General Cao didn't pay attention, and A Wan pretended not to see it, and told Fang Zilan about it that night.

After Fang Zilan heard about it, she said thoughtfully: "It seems that the assassination of King Rong An is not easy, the snake is about to come out of its hole."

　How long can the superficial calm inside and outside the capital last?
