Don't ask where people go

Chapter 23
The sound of horns and the sound of fighting were endless. Fang Zilan only felt that this battle was not as easy as the one outside Wind River Valley, and it could even be said to be more difficult.What she had to do then was to protect herself, but now she has to be responsible to everyone in the entire army, and she has to bear more worries.

In front of him was an army of golden men approaching in darkness, and the sound of soldiers from Dajing charging all around. Fang Zilan held the sword tightly in his hand, picked a golden man off his horse with a single encounter, and stabbed another golden man who was about to launch a sneak attack with a backhand sword Going down, the two corpses fell off the horse almost at the same time, and the horse, which had lost its master, neighed and scattered away.

This was just the moment when the two armies faced each other head-on, and the gap torn by Fang Zilan's long sword was immediately filled by the new golden man, and the wave after wave seemed endless.

Wherever Fang Zilan's sword tip went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and on the other side, Shangguan Jing, Shangguan Min and Li Qiyou were also fighting hard.Zhuge Yu, who had retreated to the rear before the start of the war, commanded the archers to release the arrows. The timing was just right, and it complemented the soldiers on the front line, which made Fang Zilan feel at ease.

"My lord, be careful!" Someone suddenly shouted, Fang Zilan suddenly turned her head to look at Li Qiyou who was not far away, but saw that he was hit by an arrow in his left arm, still waving the spear in his hand, and stepped back a few steps. And he was surrounded by golden men, and he was actually separated into the ranks of golden men. If things go on like this...

Fang Zilan didn't dare to think carefully, if something happened to Li Qiyou, not to mention what the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother would do to Li Shengxuan, Mr. Hui might swallow her alive.

Standing in the backline, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly when he saw this, moving his whole body with a single stroke. He didn't dare to easily deploy troops to help Li Qiyou.

In the blink of an eye, an agile figure tapped his toes, leaped over the encirclement of the golden men, stood firmly in front of Li Qiyou, and rushed straight at the nearest golden man. Shouting and falling to the ground.Zhuge Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and arranged for the next wave of attacks by the archers.

On the other side, Shangguan Jing, who had been protecting Shangguanmin all the time, also commanded the soldiers around him, and cooperated tacitly with Shangguanmin to fight a bloody path in the direction of Li Qiyou and Fang Zilan.

It's just that none of them noticed that because Li Qiyou was under the enemy's back and several people went to support him, a group of cavalry appeared behind Zhuge Yu's station at some point.

It wasn't until the new wave of arrow rain did not arrive as expected that Fang Zilan noticed something strange.Accompanying her all the way, the cyan figure she was already familiar with held a sword in one hand, and directed the soldiers beside her to shoot arrows and build shields with movements in the other hand.As calm as usual, but the pale complexion and drooping forehead hair are obviously powerless.

No matter how exhaustive the strategy is, it is impossible to block a hundred with one. It is really bragging, Fang Zilan gritted her teeth thinking this way, the long sword in her hand pierced through the person in front of her fiercely, and the blood splashed almost covered her sight.

At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, that none of the people around her should have trouble!

Zhuge Yu stared blankly at the people in front of him, and even forgot to command the remaining soldiers beside him, and the golden men not far away from him also stopped in their tracks, looking at the faces of those who came, all of them were uniformly terrified.

The long sword in Fang Zilan's hand was drooping, and the dark red blood gurgled down along the tip of the sword, dripping on the scattered corpses under her feet, and she was covered in blood and stepped on the stumped limbs on the ground, with bloody footprints step by step, like a hell Shura .

She coldly glanced at the seven golden men standing between her and Zhuge Yu, her sharp gaze passed over the seven pairs of nervous eyes, causing them to tremble.

One sword at a time, she had already killed ten people in front of them with lightning speed, and they didn't even know when she came over, which had to be creepy.

The next moment, the seven people exchanged glances, raised their knives at the same time, and rushed straight at Fang Zilan.And she hardly even blinked her eyes, the long sword swept across the neck of the first person, and the moment the blood splattered, she took advantage of the situation to separate the two knives, backed sideways to avoid the other knife, and at the same time swung her elbow The sword in Shen's hand slashed across the waist of the second person, and blood gushed out from the cracked armor.

She raised her hand and pierced the chest of the third person in front of her with a sword, and the fourth person at the side took advantage of the momentum when she drew the sword. When the four people dodged, a sword pierced his eyes. The whole movement was done in one go. The four fell to the ground almost at the same time. The remaining three looked at each other, and they all saw the fear of death on each other's faces.

"Behind!" Zhuge Yu suddenly reminded Fang Zilan that she had heard the footsteps behind her a long time ago, and her backhand was a sword. However, the moment the sword and sword touched her, she felt her tiger's mouth go numb. He blocked the incoming knife.

At the same time, she heard the three golden men chattering behind her. She couldn't understand but she seemed very happy to hear their tone. It seemed that this person was indeed a powerful character.

"This is their strong man, Miss Fang, be careful!" Zhuge Yu should have understood what the three golden men said, so he said to her.She held the sword in her hand tightly with all her strength, and looked at the person coming, he was a big man.Judging from the confrontation just now, it is in line with what Hercules said, presumably it should be good to practice kung fu all over the body, she can't head-on.

The sword in her hand went straight to the strong man's face, but the strong man dodged his head sideways. Her sword slashed on his shoulder, but there was no damage. She was not discouraged, and more than a dozen swords fell on his. On the shoulders, the soldiers around Zhuge Yu behind were a little dumbfounded. Although her sword was fast enough, it was useless if she couldn't hurt this strong man.

"Even if it's copper-skinned and iron-framed, if the same part is hit several times, it won't be able to withstand falling apart." Zhuge Yu's voice reached everyone's ears, including Fang Zilan of course.Seeing the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, it was now.

Fang Zilan raised the sword and dropped it, and a flower of blood bloomed on the flesh on the shoulder of the Hercules.She took advantage of the situation and made a few extra sword strikes, splitting the Hercules in front of her in half!
Her face was covered in blood, she felt that everything in front of her eyes was dyed red, but she still raised the sword in her hand again, and eliminated the last three golden men in front of Zhuge Yu.

When the three golden men fell, she saw the panicked expression on Zhuge Yu's face for the first time, so she stood in front of him without hesitation, and shouted with all her strength to call back the soldiers.

This was what Zhuge Yu's mouth told her just now, and it was what she had to do.Jin Ren is good at fighting, now that Li Qiyou is injured, she is almost exhausted, and the lieutenant has lost half, and they will not get any benefits if they continue, so they can only retreat for a while and consider the long-term plan.

After Fang Zilan waited for everyone to return to the camp, he ordered Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Min to count the number of people, and sent Zhuge Yu to see Li Qiyou's injuries in person, and asked the deputy general to do a good job of deploying defenses around the camp.After finishing these things, she couldn't bear it anymore, she knelt down on one knee in front of the main seat in the center of the big tent with the long sword in her hand, panting heavily.

When Zhuge Yu came back from Li Qiyou's tent, he saw such a scene. He couldn't help calling out, "Miss Fang?" Not moving at all, Zhuge Yu took two steps forward and his voice became softer, "Miss Fang?"

Hearing the sound, Fang Zilan raised her hand suddenly, and pointed the sword tightly in her hand at Zhuge Yu, but without the support of the sword, her body leaned forward involuntarily, getting a little closer to Zhuge Yu even with the long sword.

Zhuge Yubi had no choice but to go straight up, until the tip of the sword stuck to his throat, he only felt a slight stabbing pain and the sword stopped, only scratching the skin of his neck.

"Mr. Zhuge is quite courageous." Fang Zilan spoke slowly, with indescribable exhaustion in her voice, "At this time, I might kill you by mistake." "I know." Zhuge Yu said Then he moved the sword around his neck to the side.

Ever since Zi Lan killed the Hercules above the battlefield, Zhuge Yu felt that something was wrong. The murderous aura on her body was so strong that he almost suffocated him. This kind of killing intent made him have no doubt that she would kill everyone present. , when the scene gets out of control, no one knows what will happen.

Even he himself didn't realize that he, who had always been calm and composed, changed his face under the killing intent of death. Fortunately, she understood what he said and stopped the troops in time.

"Miss Fang is not suitable for the battlefield." Zhuge Yu tried his best to sound normal, "For people who have experienced many killings, the battlefield is too easy to arouse their hostility."

Fang Zilan stood up unsteadily, supporting her body upright with her sword pointing, "Are you afraid that I will lose control?" Zhuge Yu didn't answer, Fang Zilan knew that he had acquiesced.

When she thought about the scenes on the battlefield just now, she would feel terrified, the person who was cruel and murderous without blinking an eye, and even turned red in the end, was it really her?She wanted to deny it, but she couldn't even deceive herself.

She told herself that the battle in Wind River Valley was for self-protection, and when she killed the five girls, she told herself that it was to prevent future troubles, but the war that just ended told her clearly that these were all excuses.Killing is just her instinct as a killer.

"Miss Fang, you are not out of control." Zhuge Yu said as he stretched out his hand to wipe the wound on his neck, blood beads slid down his fingertips to the ground, still calm as usual, "If it really got out of control, Zhuge Yu would have already become a girl The soul is dead under the sword."

"I'm sober, but it doesn't mean I won't lose control." Fang Zilan slowly closed her eyes, trying to escape the blood all over her body, but bright red flowers kept popping up in her mind, blooming wantonly It is enchanting and charming, as if to devour her.

"Miss Fang, do you want to escape?" Zhuge Yu's cold voice reached Fang Zilan's ears like this, making her feel like falling into an ice cave for a moment.She opened her eyes abruptly, only to realize that Zhuge Yu's face had a cold expression she had never seen before, "I..." She hurriedly opened her mouth to refute, but found that Zhuge Yu's words seemed to be stinging, she couldn't deny it at all .

"There is no escape in the world, Miss Fang, you said this, why do you want to escape now?" Zhuge Yu's lips curled up slightly, but in her eyes, there was indescribable sarcasm, "As a woman, I took the initiative to invite you to pacify the northern border I thought what kind of strange woman she was, but now it seems that she is just a boudoir girl who is overconfident. No matter how nice her words are, she has no consciousness to bear all this in her heart. War is not as simple as you kill a few people , if you can't take on the responsibilities of the coach, you might as well leave early." His tone was disdainful, but she knew he was telling the truth.

War and killing are two different things. In the latter, she only needs to worry about herself and use all means to kill people. However, in the former, she is responsible to all those who follow her, and even more so to the country she is loyal to.

She cannot hesitate, panic, or stand still.From the moment she chose this path, she had already become a power puppet who lost herself, and was completely incapable of being vulnerable.

"Young Master Zhuge, don't provoke me, I won't run away." Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him firmly, and couldn't help but say this sentence, even she didn't know whether it was to be brave or sincere.

Zhuge Yu smiled, and sighed lightly, she could tell that he was just an aggressive general, how could he not know it?In a trance, he himself had some doubts about what he was hesitating. For such a Fang Zilan, if he teamed up with Li Qiyou and Shangguan Jing, it would be easy for him to take her as the commander-in-chief, but he has not done it for a long time.

He still remembered the entrustment of the Empress Dowager, but he still wanted to see how far she could go. Maybe it was just because a few years ago, a little girl said something similar to her: You people don't want to admit that I am Mrs. Du today. It doesn't matter if you are a prostitute, one day I will make everyone have to admit it.

Even Zhuge Yu, who has exhausted all strategies, will be trapped in the game one day.He smiled wryly, and looked at her with a little more complicated emotion in his eyes.
