Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore! In short, I will never agree to this.

Humph, if you push me too far, I will just get rid of this ignorant brat first!"

Mo Xinqiang's eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, his face looked fierce, and he growled these words viciously with gritted teeth.

When Fang Zheng heard this, his face instantly became extremely solemn and serious, and his heart sank.

Because he knew very well that Mo Xinqiang was a man of his word and ruthless. He was not just talking casually, but he really had a strong intention to kill.

"Brother, please calm down first! I think we need to think about this matter carefully before we can proceed."

Fang Zheng suppressed his inner fear and tried to persuade him carefully, while secretly praying that this hot-tempered man in front of him could calm down and not do anything irreparable on impulse.

Especially when I think about the consequences if Mo Xinqiang really kills Yue Qingshu, it will be disastrous...

Then he...can't escape responsibility either.

Fang Zheng's eyes flickered, and his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that if Yue Qingshu died, not only would their connection with the outside world be completely cut off, but it would also likely trigger a series of unexpected troubles and crises.

More importantly, Yue Qingshu has special meaning and value to Fang Zheng himself. He must protect Yue Qingshu.

At this time, Mo Xinqiang, after a period of intense emotional fluctuations, gradually regained some rationality.

He knew in his heart that he could not act so rashly. After all, there were hundreds of brothers and sisters in the entire village who needed care and protection.

Mo Xinqiang felt extremely sad and angry every time he thought of his adoptive father who risked his life to go down the mountain and return home in order to give the people in the village a better life, but ended up with a tragic death.

He sighed deeply. He was already extremely disappointed with the so-called imperial court and no longer dared to believe in it easily.

However, facing the current complex and difficult situation, how should he make a choice? Mo Xinqiang fell into deep thought...

I believed it last time, and my vitality was severely damaged. Even my adoptive father died. Will there really be a good ending this time? Mo Xinqiang's expression was very solemn.

Fang Zheng's heart was in a mess at the moment, and he had completely lost the confidence and control of the situation in the past. Fortunately, Mo Xinqiang, who was upset at the time, did not notice his change.

"Brother, in my opinion, you may need to reconsider this matter. I have some urgent matters to deal with here, so I'll take my leave now."

Mo Xinqiang waved his hand with an annoyed look on his face.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

"Thank you, brother... Actually, I think you don't need to be so worried. As the saying goes, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain." Fang Zheng said comfortingly.

However, Mo Xinqiang just nodded absentmindedly and paced back and forth in the room.

Then, Fang Zheng turned and left Mo Xinqiang's room.

He frowned, his expression solemn, thinking to himself: I can't let Yue Qingshu die no matter what! Absolutely not!

"Second master."

"Ah hello."

Along the way, his men would occasionally greet Fang Zheng. According to Fang Zheng's usual character, he would certainly respond politely.

But this time, he merely nodded irritably, forcing a slight smile.

When they reached an empty corner, Fang Zheng finally found it difficult to maintain the illusion of being calm and unhurried.

Fang Zheng was breathing heavily, as if he had just finished an intense run. Beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead, and his eyes were flashing with an uneasiness that was hard to conceal.

After a short pause, he carefully stuck his head out and observed his surroundings cautiously.

After confirming that there was no one around, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a yellowed letter from his arms with trembling hands.

In fact, Fang Zheng had already become an insider of the imperial court. It must be mentioned that even the thrilling scene that Mo Ying saw in her dream was inextricably linked to him.

Looking back to the past, Fang Zheng was just a weak scholar, powerless and only devoted to reading books of sages.

However, fate played a trick on him. Unfortunately, he was framed by a villain, which led to the destruction of his family and he lived a life of displacement from then on.

Despite this, Fang Zheng always had a burning desire to serve his country. Just two years ago, a mysterious figure suddenly found him and successfully persuaded him to sneak into the village as an undercover agent.

Since then, Fang Zheng has been in an endless struggle. He never thought of hurting anyone in the village, especially when Mo Ying tried to lead the village back on track, he spared no effort to provide help and support.

Once upon a time, he was looking forward to the Shanzhai being able to mend its ways, so that he would not have to face this painful dilemma.

However, in Mo Ying's dream, everything became completely different. On the one hand, due to someone's secret betrayal, the village was eventually destroyed; on the other hand, Fang Zheng's role in it should not be underestimated.

In that turbulent era, the village should have been a place of solidarity and mutual assistance to resist foreign enemies. However, due to the existence of some people with bad intentions, this originally peaceful and tranquil place fell into endless disputes and disasters. These bad apples acted recklessly and committed many unforgivable crimes.

As the village chief, Mo Xinqiang not only did not punish them severely, but also blindly favored and protected these evil people.

Faced with such injustice, the upright and kind-hearted Fang Zheng could not accept it. He always adhered to the bottom line of justice in his heart and could not tolerate such evil to continue to spread.

Therefore, when he learned that the army was coming to encircle and suppress the bandits, he resolutely chose to stand on the side of justice and provided valuable intelligence and assistance to the army.

Thanks to Fang Zheng's outstanding performance in this operation, he successfully avoided the fate of being executed.

But the tragic battle scene and the sight of blood flowing like a river in the mountain stronghold were deeply imprinted in his mind, becoming his lingering nightmare and his nightmare.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, those bloody and horrifying scenes would constantly emerge in his mind, tormenting him greatly.

Although the court highly recognized Fang Zheng's achievements and invited him many times to serve as an official in the court, Fang Zheng had already become disheartened.

He knew very well that although he had made great contributions, he had also betrayed the village he had once taken in and its leader Mo Xinqiang.

This guilt was like a heavy yoke that made it hard for him to breathe. In the end, he politely declined the court's kindness, packed his bags and embarked on an unknown journey alone.

After leaving the mountain village, Fang Zheng wandered around and went through untold hardships, but he still couldn't find a spiritual home.
