King Xiang originally wanted Fang Zilan to take care of him in Pingshan City for a while and then make plans after his injury healed. Unexpectedly, Fang Zilan jumped around in less than two days and said she wanted to escort him back to Beijing.

Of course, Fang Zilan knew what King Xiang was thinking. Now that the war has settled, he returned to Beijing for the throne. At this time, people who don’t know the truth are not suitable to keep them by their side. Just find an excuse to push them out.

Of course, she could not fulfill King Xiang's wishes. From Pingshan City to Jingcheng, the mountains are high and the road is far away. If King Xiang has any mistakes along the way, she will be even more difficult to deal with. Anyway, she will have to go back to Beijing after all, and it will be just the way.

"The girl's injury has not healed, so don't force it." King Xiang looked at Fang Zilan standing and was neither sitting nor frowning, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "I won't be able to blame the debt when the girl recovers and goes to Beijing again."

"I followed His Highness Xiang with voluntary voluntary voluntary , and I never thought about any reward ." Fang Zilan said as she held the corner of the table beside her. Although she did not feel pain, she still had to pay attention to the wounds before healing.

The word "fifty" should not be too suitable for her now. This is true for her injuries and for King Xiang. It is better to open the skylight and say something bright.

Thinking of this, she simply made up her mind, "Your Highness and I might as well say something directly, and I hope your Highness will not blame you."

"Miss, it's okay." King Xiang saw her determined look and couldn't help but feel funny. What else does this little girl want to do?

"Your Highness repeatedly advised me that my injury was important, but I didn't want me to follow me to go to Beijing. After all, I can't feel at ease with those who don't know the truth. Besides, when Miss Yan'er returned a few days ago, the people sent by Your Highness were probably not as simple as escorts, so I should go and check my details." Fang Zilan said with confidence, but King Xiang felt that his heart was tight. The little girl had guessed most of the time, and it was indeed not simple.

"Your Highness can't trust me, I know in my heart that it's okay to tell your Highness my identity." Fang Zilan said suddenly and took a deep breath, "I am Fang Zilan, the independent killer Zixiu."

After saying this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly praising her intelligence in her heart. Anyway, King Xiang will find out the clues sooner or later. It would be better for her to brief them in advance, so that she could hide the people behind her, including the young master.

"Zi Xiu, Fang Zi Lan?" Sure enough, King Xiang frowned slightly when he heard this name.

Fang Zilan naturally knew the reason. Princess Xiang Fang Ziqin was only one word different from her, and she sounded like a sister who deserved it.

"I have nothing to do with the Fang family that Your Highness is thinking about." She added after a brief thought, "Now the one in front of the palace is just the killer Zixiu."

King Xiang smiled slightly, "Isn't this the little girl here without any silver? She looked unhappy when she talked about the Fang family that day, and now she is anxious to separate her relationship. She is usually very delicate and clear, so why is her own affairs so dull?"

"I have heard of Zixiu's name. I heard that it is a first-class killer." King Xiang said, smiling even more vigorously, "How could he be my follower if he is just a first-class killer?"

"I said, I'm entrusted by someone, isn't your highness also clear? I was assassinated in the capital and inspected Qingzhou. Someone always wanted to protect your highness." Fang Zilan saw King Xiang laughing in a mysterious way, so she could only guess and answer, "The northern border is dangerous. Most people can't protect Your Highness, so naturally they can only hire me, a first-class killer. After all, if I recognize the second, I'm afraid no one will recognize the first."

As soon as these words were spoken, King Xiang couldn't help but chuckled, "You are confident."

Fang Zilan was also stunned. How could she know that she was the number one?

But this kind of faith seems to be inherently deeply rooted in the bone marrow. I vaguely remember that the man said to her, "Lan'er, you want to be the sharpest sword in my hand, the first sword in the world that belongs to me."

A tingling pain in the middle of his eyebrows, Fang Zilan held his forehead with one hand and tightened the corner of the table under his hand with the other, as if he was about to snatch a hole.

Seeing this, King Xiang hurriedly got up and walked to her, "Miss Fang?"

"I'm fine." She forced herself to put down her hand and looked up at the person in front of her. The concerned expression on his face was not like a fake, but she knew very well that the person in front of her was King Xiang. With this identity alone, she could not believe it at all.

"What else do you want to know?" Fang Zilan spoke again pretending to be relaxed, but saw King Xiang shook his head.

She then asked, "Your Highness will not ask who I am employed?"

King Xiang did not answer.

After a while, just when she thought King Xiang was about to say goodbye, she heard his voice, "If I pay ten times the money of your original employer, would you be willing to do something for me?"

"Your Highness doesn't ask me how much money the original employer paid?" Fang Zilan couldn't help but feel funny. When she was considering what price to say, she only heard King Xiang say: "I only ask if you are willing."

The power of his undeniable tone made her stunned for a moment, and suddenly she realized that his will surely win. How could the person who will become the master of the world care about how much money?

"Okay." Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "But the deal with my former employer was to send Your Highness back to Beijing safely before it was over. Your Highness might as well talk to me in detail later."

Her words revealed a sense of businessman's complicity, which made King Xiang feel familiar.

It turns out that she is from the Fang family. She is a merchant and is so smart about doing business. She is afraid she can't get rid of it no matter how she does it.

"What is your highness watching me do like this?" Fang Zilan couldn't see through King Xiang's expression, so he could only ask him. He just shook his head, "It's nothing. After arriving in Beijing, I hope Miss Fang will remember today's appointment."

"That's natural. When we are killers, we should pay attention to the word "trust". Since we, Fang Zilan, agreed to you as Zixiu today, we will not regret it." Fang Zilan said unswervingly, but never thought that those troubles would happen in the future.

Later, after thinking about it carefully, maybe she shouldn't have told King Xiang about her true identity from the beginning. But at that time, whenever she thought about being able to cover up for the young master, she wouldn't care about so much.

It was quite calm along the way, neither assassinated nor heard any news. However, the calmer it was, the more uneasy Fang Zilan felt. When she came to the northern border, she heard that Emperor Ning Shun was critically ill. This time, King Xiang returned to Beijing and ascended the throne, but no news came from the capital. Either the people under King Xiang were useless, or someone deliberately blocked the news.

She thought about this and looked at King Xiang next to her. She herself was inclined to the latter. After getting along this trip, King Xiang gave her the feeling that he had both cunning and cunning methods and sincerity to win people's hearts, and such a person would not be too bad.

During this period, Fang Zilan also received a letter from Wu Qing, saying that Emperor Ning Shun had not had much time to control the government. It was because he wanted to assist King Yucheng in inheriting the throne. The Zhuge family, which had always been regarded as the right-hand man by the late emperor, did not express their opinions that they could not retreat, but were afraid that King Xiang would not be so smooth after returning to the capital.

The young master meant that she would stay with King Xiang until King Xiang ascended the throne. But she still remembered that day she promised King Xiang to do things for him. She had no master at all, so she could only watch while walking.

"What are you thinking?" King Xiang's voice reached Fang Zilan's ears, "There is the capital in front of you, why is this expression?"

"It's nothing, I'm afraid there's nothing wrong along the way, I'm afraid that there will be a fierce battle waiting for Your Highness when I enter Beijing." She said as she looked at King Xiang, but saw him smiled faintly, "Then I'll have to have a girl from Lai Fang."

King Xiang was really not polite. Fang Zilan smiled and shook her head, and entered the city with King Xiang and entered the palace of Prince Xiang.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he met an acquaintance. Fang Zilan was helpless. It was not that he had never thought that he would meet his sister Fang Ziqin, but probably he didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed.

"I've seen Princess Xiang." Fang Zilan was still dressed in men's clothes, but she was still recognized by Fang Ziqin. She stood there and stared at her in a daze. She turned out to be a loss of composure she had never seen before.

Fang Zilan's impression, as the eldest daughter of the prime minister, seems to always be a lady with proper behavior and a good family master. She is a famous virtuous person in the entire capital. Now she is now seeing this appearance for the first time.

In the end, King Xiang broke the embarrassing situation, "What's wrong with the princess? This is Miss Xiu, who saved my life in the northern border."

Fang Ziqin nodded slightly and said indifferently: "I'm fine, but this beautiful girl looks a bit like a sister in my family. For a moment, she thought she had seen her sister, so she was a little out of control. I hope your highness won't blame you."

"It's okay, the princess hasn't seen her family for a long time. She misses her sister's normal feelings. Whenever she has time, she can go back to Fang's house to take a look." King Xiang said these words politely and alienated, and sound considerate, but Fang Zilan didn't hear any concern.

Perhaps this is the legendary respect for each other. She followed King Xiang to the door of the study while thinking about it.

"If Your Highness Xiang is nothing, I will say goodbye." Seeing that King Xiang had not mentioned that day, Fang Zilan thought about finding an excuse to leave first.

Unexpectedly, King Xiang had no intention of letting her go, "Miss Xiu was joking that day?"

"I don't dare to do this." Seeing that King Xiang's eyes were a little darker, Fang Zilan immediately changed his voice, "It's just that I'm so dusty all the way. I really don't dare to leave in front of the palace for a while now, I just want your highness to ask me to wash and change my clothes first."

"Has I seen you look worse than this?" King Xiang's expression was a little more teasing, but she waved her hand indifferently, "That's different. I used to be on the battlefield, but now I am in the Xiang Palace. I believe Your Highness doesn't want his servants to be covered in dust, right?"

"Forget it, you go first." King Xiang smiled and shook his head, then ordered Xiahou Zhang, the guard next to him, "Take her clean up and come to the study to see me."

"It's a blessing for Brother Xiahou." Fang Zilan hugged her fists, but Xiahou Zhang was unmoved at all. She was used to it. Xiahou Zhang had such a temper along the way - she was taciturn. Except for King Xiang's words, others ignored anything else.

King Xiang said that during the Battle of Fenghe Valley, Xiahou Zhang went to Pingshan City to bring reinforcements and did not follow him. Who would have thought so many things happened later? He always regretted that he had not done well, and Xiahou Yan's death also had a great blow to him.

Just as Fang Zilan was about to go out with Xiahou Zhang, he heard a servant coming to report that the second son of the Zhuge family came to proclaim the imperial edict for the emperor.

When King Xiang heard that it was the second son of the Zhuge family who came to pass the order, he called out the two, "Don't rush to wash and change clothes, go to see Zhuge Yu with me before talking."

Fang Zilan threw out her true identity as a killer, but concealed the part related to the Fang family. However, on the balance of King Xiang’s half-believance and half-doubt, how long can this balance of trust and suspicion last?

Fang Zilan: Although, I didn’t expect that I was so powerful?

Author: So you are undoubtedly a daughter.

King Xiang: What about me?

Author: Your Highness? Maybe, maybe... more advanced than passersby A, B and C? (Take the stakes
