Don't ask where people go

Chapter 7 Salvation
Fang Zilan took a sudden step forward, quickly knocked down the feather arrow that was coming towards King Xiang, and shouted: "Which thing without eyes dares to shoot the arrow at His Highness King Xiang?"

"His Royal Highness King Xiang?" The leading Shangguan Yun took a step forward, and looked playfully at the two people not far away, "His Royal Highness Xiang will die with the Jin people in order to protect us, you wait for Xiaoxiao to pretend to be His Royal Highness Xiang, we See, you are the one with short eyes, right?"

What Shangguan Yun said was righteous, but Fang Zilan only felt her heart sink a little bit, and she and King Xiang had guessed it right.

Shangguan Yun did not send people into the mountain to search, but directly released the news that King Xiang had died in the scuffle, and killed all of King Xiang's subordinates.

Now that she and King Xiang came back, it would be like throwing themselves into a trap, Shangguan Yun could turn his face and deny anyone, saying that they pretended to be King Xiang and killed them directly.With such a scheming plan, she had underestimated Shangguan Yun before.

Fang Zilan stood in front of King Xiang and thought about it, but she never came up with a perfect plan. She just wanted to save King Xiang's life first, but she clearly felt that the aura of the people behind her was a little bit colder. Is King Xiang angry?

But it's useless to be angry now, the key is how to prove the identity of King Xiang?Thinking of this, she couldn't help but find it funny, how does King Xiang prove that he is King Xiang?What is this? She really chose the hard mode.

"Shangguan Yun, you have shown me clearly, who is the person in front of me?" King Xiang's expression was serious, and Fang Zilan couldn't help being taken aback by the unquestionable momentum in his voice, this hall?It was the first time she had heard King Xiang claiming to be so, and it seemed that King Xiang was serious about it, but it was just empty words, Shangguan Yun would definitely not admit it, for the current plan...

She frowned slightly, and a sentence that only the living are qualified to speak came to her mind almost abruptly. She vaguely remembered that it was said by her cousin when discussing history with her before. Written by a victor.

That being the case, she had a heartbreak, and in an instant she was beside Shangguan Yun, the dagger shone so brightly under the sun that it was almost dazzling, and she heard her own voice was even colder and piercing, "I heard that His Majesty is seriously ill, and King Yucheng has coveted the throne for a long time, isn't General Shangguan planning to add fuel to the flames?"

"Bastard! How dare you frame this general!" Hearing this, Shangguan was furious, but when he saw the dagger around his neck, his voice became weaker, obviously lacking confidence.

No one saw Fang Zilan's movements clearly, and when he realized it, the dagger was already on Shangguan Yun's neck, and Shangguan Yun's men were in a mess for a while.

"Framed? Then why did you claim that the palace died in battle, not for King Yucheng, but for whom?" King Xiang looked coldly at the people not far away, and walked over slowly and firmly step by step.

"Everyone in the world knows that this hall is the heir to the throne of the great capital. Now you, Shangguan Yun, dare to spread rumors about the death of this hall. What is it if it is not conspiracy?" Stepping forward to stop him, he watched helplessly as he walked a few steps away from Shangguan Yun.

"Prince Xiang is dead, this general saw it with his own eyes, what are you still doing?" Shangguan Yun shouted, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead, there is only one chance, if you can't put King Xiang to death at this time, After he returned to Beijing, it would be difficult to watch him with tens of thousands of eyes.

"Try to say it again?" As soon as Shangguan Yun finished speaking, he heard Fang Zilan's voice ringing in his ears, and couldn't help shaking, "What's the problem with me saying it ten or twenty times? A thief, everyone gets it and kills..."

Unexpectedly, before Shangguan Yun's words were spoken, he felt his eyes go dark, and finally saw a column of blood gushing out of his vague consciousness.

As soon as Fang Zilan let go, he fell straight over, completely out of breath.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can get them and punish them, that's what you said." Fang Zilan looked at the people on the ground expressionlessly, but her hand holding the dagger couldn't stop shaking. She actually killed in public like this. a general.

All of Shangguan Yun's subordinates who were surrounded by him were also at a loss by this sudden change. It wasn't until someone yelled "Kill them and avenge the general" that someone brandished a sword at Fang Zilan and Xiang Xiang as if he had woken up. The king cut it off.

While dealing with the people in front of her, Fang Zilan secretly observed the reaction of King Xiang who was not far away, but saw that he was calm and focused, and his eyes fell into the distance, as if he hadn't noticed their current situation at all.

In the distance, horseshoes rolled up smoke and dust in the sky. It seemed that someone was coming again, and there were a lot of people coming. It was unknown whether it was an enemy or a friend. Fang Zilan's heart sank a little.

In the chaos, Fang Zilan heard someone shouting "General Huangfu has arrived", and the soldiers in front of her stopped their hands amidst the shouting. She also took advantage of the opportunity to stand in front of King Xiang, blocking King Xiang behind her, and stared at him intently. The cavalry team was getting closer and closer, and on the banner headed by Huangfu was the word Huangfu, which was Huangfulin.

"Huangfu Lin came late to rescue me, and I still hope that His Royal Highness King Xiang will forgive me." Huangfu Lin scrambled and rolled over from the horse, kneeling straight in front of King Xiang.

It's really not the majesty that I saw when I ordered soldiers. Fang Zilan curled her lips with a bit of disdain, and then felt that King Xiang behind her patted her on the shoulder. .

"General Huangfu has worked hard all the way." As King Xiang said, he took two steps forward to help Huangfulin up. Huangfulin hurriedly thanked him as if he had been pardoned, and took a look at the deputy general at Shangguanyun next to him. People started to raise their hands?"

"General Huangfu, this is the person. She killed General Shangguan!" Shangguan Yun's lieutenant looked sad and angry, and Huangfu Lin was also taken aback, and quickly looked at King Xiang, "What's going on, Your Highness?"

"Shangguan Yun mutilated his comrades with the intention of treason, so the military law dealt with it." It was Fang Zilan who spoke, and she stood beside King Xiang with a calm expression, "That's what happened."

"I'm talking to His Highness, so there's no place for a servant to interrupt." Huang Fulin glared at Fang Zilan with dissatisfaction, but she remained indifferent, "Your Highness is kind, I can't bear to tell you such a fact, naturally only my servant will say it."

As she said that, she took a step forward and stood straight in front of Huangfulin, "What's more, I killed the man. If General Huangfu wants to ask the teacher for the crime, just come to me."

Seeing that King Xiang hadn't spoken to protect his nephew, Huangfu Lin stopped being polite, and said with a cold snort: "The one is coming for you, do you know what crime it is to murder an important official of the court?"

"Punish according to the law." Fang Zilan answered without hesitation, "However, I dare to ask General Huangfu, what crime is treason?"

"Zhu Lian Nine Clans." Huangfu Lin followed her words, but suddenly realized something was wrong.According to this, if King Fan Xiang followed up with Shangguan Yun's treason, he was convicted of the crime. Didn't he push Shangguan's family into a pit of fire and be resented for no reason?
However, just as Huangfu Lin was considering how to speak, he heard King Xiang's voice, "This is the end of Shangguan Yun's matter. The people under him are not sensible. General Huangfu should not be as knowledgeable as her."

Huang Fulin has been in the officialdom and battlefield for many years, and he is extremely shrewd. In just a few words, he heard that King Xiang neither wanted Shangguan Yun's incident to become a big one, nor did he want his own subordinates to be scapegoats.

It's just that he, Shangguan Yun, didn't think about it carefully. With such a special status, His Royal Highness King Xiang has been fighting abroad for many years. So far, nothing happened. How could it be possible that he has no chest and no means?

Thinking of this, Huang Fulin thought about it and said: "What is His Royal Highness Xiang talking about? It is his honor as a soldier that General Shangguan can die in battle."

Fang Zilan couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, Huang Fulin reacted so quickly, not only giving King Xiang a step down but also saving Shangguan Yun's face.

"General Huangfu?" Shangguan Yun's lieutenant at the side hadn't reacted yet, and just wanted to say something in dissatisfaction, but was stopped by Huangfu Lin's eyes.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Fang Zilan didn't have anything to do and was about to step aside, when she heard Huang Fulin's voice again, she only heard him say: "His Royal Highness King Xiang's subordinates are weak in guarding, and they deserved it, why don't you hurry up and clean up the corpses?" , so as not to obstruct His Highness King Xiang's eyes here."

Ineffective guards, deserve what they deserve?Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, looked at King Xiang at the side, thought he would say something, but unexpectedly he looked calm and said nothing, aren't these people who accompany him through life and death?Did you allow others to smear you without even saying a word of refutation?It's a pity that they didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of their own people.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan clenched her fists involuntarily. She was about to step forward to stop her, but someone grabbed her sleeves. She turned her head and it was King Xiang, "Let them go."

His voice was very soft, but it was indescribably tired, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness?
King Xiang said so, Fang Zilan had no choice but to give up, and heard Huang Fulin stepping up to say that he had a few guards who were really good, if His Royal Highness King Xiang liked them, they would send them to His Highness, that would be considered to be the best of their talents... …

King Xiang and Huangfulin walked into the main tent while talking, while Fang Zilan was still standing there, looking at the soldiers around him carrying corpses, feeling dizzy, ignoring all kinds of gazes not far away Whispering with him, he walked out of the camp alone.

Unspeakably uncomfortable, is it because he killed Shangguan Yun?It doesn't seem to be the case. She has killed many people since she came here, and she doesn't care about one more Shangguan Yun. Is it because she saw that King Xiang's men died for no reason?It seems not.

Human life is at stake. She used to think that life was the most important thing.However, here, a human life is like an ant's life. No one cares about the death of a person. The people around him are terribly numb and indifferent. As long as it is not their own life, it seems that they can become a stepping stone on the way forward, but it is true. right?
Fang Zilan only felt cold all over, but couldn't find any fire that could warm her.

That being the case, she might as well light the fire by herself.

Thinking this way, she looked up at the completely dark sky, and walked back to the camp not far away.

Darkness is the best time to set off fireworks.

Fang Zilan lit the fire folder in her hand, and the light from the fire illuminated her eyes, revealing an indescribable firmness and strangeness in the silent night.

The next moment, grand fireworks lit up the night sky of the entire Wind River Valley.

Hearing the sound, King Xiang and Huang Fulin walked out of the big tent, and were startled when they saw the fireworks all over the sky. Isn't this a signal for help?How can this time...

　Mr. Lu Xun once wrote: There is a little heat and a little light, it is like a firefly, and it can also shine a little light in the dark, without waiting for the torch.Since then, if there is no torch: I am the only light.

　　At that time, Fang Zilan might not be more than a little firefly, but she still wanted to be that beam of light, even if it could only illuminate herself faintly, it was enough.
