Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1344 Taking advantage of the opportunity

"Miss Zixiu, even if you kill me now, it will be useless." The second in command persuaded her with reason and emotion, saying: "If I die, not only will you not get the information you want, but you will also have hatred with the bandits..."

"It's too late for you to say that." Fang Zilan's eyes fell on the corpse beside her. "I have just killed a bandit. The hatred has already been made. I don't care about you being one more person."

"Miss Zixiu is wrong." The second in command shook his head and said, "People are divided into different classes. Some people will not cause any waves even if they die. But some people can cause a big uproar even if they are hurt."

"That's what you think." Fang Zilan stroked the plum sword in her hand, "In my eyes, there is only a difference between the dead and the living."

"Although Miss Zixiu said so, you should know in your heart that what I said is true." The second in command said patiently: "How about it, Miss Zixiu, are you willing to join forces with us? From now on, there will be no rivals in the martial arts world..."

"I'm not interested in joining forces with others. After all, there is no one in the martial arts world who can be my opponent." Fang Zilan interrupted the second in command impatiently, and said gloomily: "I can go to Feiling Mountain with you, but I have something to ask your boss, not to join forces with you."

"Since Miss Zixiu has agreed, let's set off immediately." The second in command said, and arrested Li Shengxuan again.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan's face darkened and she asked, "Why did you detain him?"

The second in command explained, "He is a hostage. Before the deal is concluded, he cannot move freely and can only follow you and me."

  "Hostage? Trade?" Fang Zilan sneered, "Did you make a mistake?

"Miss Zixiu, your martial arts skills are the best in the world, and no one in the martial arts world can match you." The second in command showed a meaningful smile, "I just want to be on the safe side, so..."

Fang Zilan snorted, and the second in command paused before continuing, "If I say something wrong or do something wrong and make Miss Zixiu unhappy, I must save my life so that I can take you to Feiling Mountain safely."

"You want to use him as a life-saving talisman?" Fang Zilan glanced at Li Shengxuan and said with a half-smile, "I don't care. But you, bringing such a burden to Feiling Mountain, I'm afraid it will delay your time."

"No problem." The second in command tightened his grip on Li Shengxuan's hand. "It's a great honor for me that Miss Zixiu is willing to accompany me to Feiling Mountain. A few days of delay is nothing." He spoke in a humble manner, and his attitude was so sincere that people couldn't say much.

Even Fang Zilan couldn't say anything to refute it for a while. In addition, she was afraid that if she said too much, she would make more mistakes and show her concern and attention to Li Shengxuan, which would arouse the suspicion of the second in command. If so, then all the acting just now would be in vain.

"I..." Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to comfort Fang Zilan, but she turned her head away. It was unknown what she was thinking and she didn't notice him at all. So he kept silent and watched what happened.

Fang Lihui on the side pondered for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell the eldest master in person. Since Miss Zixiu wants to go to Feiling Mountain with the second master, I will go with you."

Hearing this, the Second Master looked at Fang Lihui deeply, and then said politely: "Thank you for taking the trouble, Mr. Fang."

"Second Master, you are too kind." Fang Lihui bowed. "I am very grateful for your care for my business. It's just a trip now, how dare you say it's hard work?"

The second in command accepted the greeting in vain, looked up at the sky casually, and said, "It's getting late today, it won't be too late for us to set off early tomorrow morning."

Fang Zilan followed the Second Master's gaze and was dazzled by the sun. She thought to herself that it was just past noon and the sky was bright, so how could it be said that it was already late in the morning? "Miss Zixiu?" The Second Master saw Fang Zilan was silent and could not help but call her.

"We will meet here in an hour and set off." Fang Zilan said this in a decisive tone, with an air of urgency that brooked no argument.

The second in command was stunned for a moment, and tried to dissuade him, "Miss Zixiu, Feiling Mountain is steep and dangerous, and the mountain road is difficult to travel. We should..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan placed her plum sword on his neck. "Stop talking nonsense. I've already made a concession by agreeing to go with you to Feiling Mountain. If you continue to push your luck and bargain with me, I don't mind going back on my word."

"Master Zhuge has always been in poor health. Master Zhuge Yu asked Master to come to his house for a consultation as usual. On the way to send Master back to the Imperial Hospital, I met you and General Cao." Awan muttered in a daze, "Fortunately, we live close to the palace and we were lucky enough to arrive there. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous..."

Fang Zilan frowned even more tightly, "What are the consequences?"

"You've forgotten everything, haven't you?" A Wan patted her cheek to sober herself up a bit. Seeing Fang Zilan nod, she explained, "My master said that if someone approaches you in this situation, you might kill them by mistake, and you won't even remember. You bit my master, and the wound bled a lot."

She exaggerated a bit, but Fang Zilan didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have bitten someone after getting drunk on the night of the Lantern Festival...

  Seeing that her thoughts were wandering, Awan couldn't help but yell "Fang Zilan"!

Fang Zilan took a deep breath and said unhappily, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of disturbing other people in the mansion?"

Awan immediately lost her temper. Fang Zilan pressed the issue, "I just bit Wen Ya and didn't do anything else?"

"No, you passed out after biting my master." A Wan added as if she remembered something, "It's strange, when I took your pulse, I felt that you were vaguely poisoned, as if you had eaten something by mistake. Although that thing seemed harmful to you at first glance, it soon became the nutrient for the poison in your body. It must be from the same lineage as the poison..."

Fang Zilan's mind moved. It was Wen Ya's blood. If it was true as A Wan said, Wen Ya had something from the same lineage as her poison, and he claimed that he was full of poison...

Is it possible that Wen Ya is also infected with the poison?

A Wan shook Fang Zi Lan's arm, "My master was bitten by you, can you please listen to me carefully?"

Fang Zilan hummed casually, "You talk, I'm listening."

Awan suddenly lost interest, stood up angrily, and ran back to her room to sleep.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan smiled helplessly, and suddenly realized something. Did Awan mention Lord Zhuge Yu just now? Ayu was also there, and the matter of the craftsman...

She immediately lost her sleepiness and tossed and turned all night until dawn. She calculated the time and sent someone to call Cao Hong over.
