Chapter 319 Fang Jinzhi: Let's pinky swear! [4 chapters, please vote!]

Fang La coughed for a while before finally stopping. Looking up, he saw Fang Jinzhi's concerned gaze and smiled with relief.

"Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about."

Fang Jinzhi was finally able to relax a little.

In fact, she always had a bad feeling that her father might not live much longer.

However, Fang La's health did indeed improve, even if it was just being able to walk a few steps.

Therefore, Fang Jinzhi was very grateful to Cai Fu. If it weren't for Cai Fu's long journey to deliver the divine doctor, her father would have been in dire straits...

That said, she only met Cai Fu once, and she wondered what had become of that tall and strong man.

Feeling a little distracted, Fang Jinzhi helped Fang La stand by the stream.

Fang La pointed to the clear stream:
"Jinzhi, look."

What to look at?
Fang Jinzhi looked at the clear stream, where the reflections of the father and daughter were mirrored...

"Father has really lost a lot of weight," Fang Jinzhi thought to herself, but said aloud:

"Father is as he always has been."

"no……"

Fang La shook his head with a wry smile.

He wanted to tell Fang Jinzhi that he had squatted here to wash his hands back then.

In a daze, he saw himself in the water wearing a flat-topped crown and a dragon robe, looking just like an emperor...

He was overjoyed and told everyone he met that he was blessed with the emperor's fortune, which resulted in him being arrested by the authorities.

Fang La simply rebelled.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, they actually built up a vast empire.

Although this empire was small, consisting of only eight prefectures and twenty-five counties, he ultimately fulfilled the omen of becoming emperor.

Wearing a flat-topped crown and a dragon robe, standing by the stream and looking at himself, he seemed to see a woodcutter.

This is impossible!

How could I possibly still be a woodcutter?

Fang La looked again and saw that he was still wearing the flat-topped crown and the dragon robe, still the Holy Duke of the Southern Kingdom.

Fang La smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at his daughter, who was somewhat lost in thought, and teased her with amusement:
"Jinzhi, what are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing."

Fang Jinzhi was too embarrassed to say that she had just been thinking about whether to ask Cai Fu to borrow An Daoquan to take care of her father.

If we could get the legendary doctor An Daoquan to take care of Father Emperor personally, Father Emperor should get better, right?
Fang La smiled and said, "The prince consort is no pushover; you'd better keep a close eye on him in the future."

"Don't let him be seduced by other women, cough cough cough..."

Fang La was in a good mood today and unusually spoke at length, which made Fang Jinzhi blush.
"Father, you're teasing your daughter again!"

But seeing that Fang La was coughing badly and his body was trembling, Fang Jinzhi hurriedly supported him:

"Father, you..."

"It doesn't matter."

Fang La stopped coughing and waved his hand affectionately:
"I will personally officiate at Princess Jinzhi's wedding!"

Fang Jinzhi blushed again at Fang La's words, her face turning as red as a ripe cherry tomato.

However, considering Fang La's health, Fang Jinzhi suppressed her shyness and said to Fang La in a coquettish tone:

"Father, you mustn't lie to me! Let's pinky swear!"

"Okay, okay! Pinky promise!"

Fang La extended a thin, bamboo-like little finger and hooked it together with Fang Jinzhi's white, tender little finger:
"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years..."

Fang Jinzhi smiled shyly, her mind involuntarily conjuring up images of her wedding with Cai Fu.

My father held my hand and gave me to that tall, strong man; it was truly a beautiful moment…

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out, instantly pulling Fang Jinzhi out of her reverie!
Then she witnessed the most painful and cruel scene in the world:
"Pfft!"

A gleaming arrow, with lightning speed, struck Fang La in the throat! Fang La's weak body swayed backward, his cloudy eyes wide open!

Then, Fang La used his last bit of strength to hug Fang Jinzhi and tackle her to the ground...

what--

Fang Jinzhi tried to scream, but no sound came out. She looked at her father in utter terror:

The arrow pierced Fang La's throat, leaving only a tuft of snow-white feathers on his neck!
But at that moment, the snow-white feathers stained red at a visible speed, and drops of blood dripped onto her face...

Fang La's eyes held both relief and disappointment.

In his final moments, he protected his daughter, but ultimately could not fulfill his promise.

These days, Fang La has been worried, worried that he might leave this world at some point and in some way.

Now he finally has nothing to worry about, and the way he left this world has preserved some dignity.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"

Fang Jinzhi's ears were almost deafened from being shouted at, but what was the use? Her father had already passed away...

These days, Fang La ventured out of Bangyuan Cave for the first time, driven by a persistent desire to take one last look at his reflection in the stream.

Although Fang La's departure was somewhat hasty, he still brought a full thousand guards with him.

This stream, though nominally called a "stream," was actually two or three zhang wide, and several hundred guards were stationed on the opposite bank.

Even so, Fang La was still hit by an arrow...

who!
Who exactly assassinated Father Emperor?!
Fang Jinzhi was filled with immense grief; tears welled up in her eyes but never fell.

Protected by her father's emaciated body, Fang Jinzhi struggled to prop her head up and look towards the opposite bank.

As luck would have it, she saw a figure flash by on a large tree a hundred paces away...

……

Yuling Pass.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

A bright-eyed, white-toothed, and charming young girl shot out a string of arrows!

One arrow after another followed, like shooting stars chasing the moon, and in the blink of an eye, they all hit the center of the target!

"What a fine arrow!"

Pang Wanchun, nicknamed "Little Yang Youji," couldn't help but applaud and cheer for the girl.
"Girl, your archery skills are now on par with mine!"

"real or fake?"

The bright-eyed, white-toothed, charming young girl was none other than Pang Qiuxia, who came over with a grin, arm in arm with Luoyue Bow, and asked:

"Brother, what else haven't you taught me? Teach me now!"

Pang Wanchun waved his hands repeatedly: "No more, no more, I've taught you everything!"

“I admit it, you are ‘Da Yang Youji’!”

"Hate!"

Pang Qiuxia pouted and said, "If I don't call myself 'Da Yang Youji' anymore, it'll seem like I'm taking advantage of you!"
"I've come up with a new nickname, 'Little Taishi Ci'!"
"Taishi Ci was from Jiangdong, and so was I!"

"Taishi Ci was skilled at archery, and so am I!"
"Isn't this nickname quite suitable for me?"

Pang Wanchun gave two thumbs up: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Pang Qiuxia: "Hehe!"

"boom--"

Just then, countless southern soldiers poured into the firing range, and Pang Wanchun's personal guards were overwhelmed in the blink of an eye!
Pang Wanchun's expression changed: "Whose soldiers are you?"

"Hulala-"

Countless southern soldiers surrounded Pang Wanchun in layers!
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like Fang La, but with an oval face, appeared in the crowd.

He was dressed in a white robe, and stood out like a firefly in the night amidst the vast army!
"Pang Wanchun!"

The young man in the white robe, his eyes red-rimmed, pointed at Pang Wanchun and shouted sharply:
"You dared to assassinate my father! You deserve to die!"
