"Then you mean-"

"Lu Guangwei, who is beside the young master, has many elite soldiers and strong generals. I think he cannot win this battle."

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He may not have known that Xu Shizong was dispatching his men. After all, in addition to his own people, a large part of them were Xu Shizong's troops. Now it is already very labor-intensive to defend Jinling City. If he wants to go out of the city to fight, Xu Shizong is unwilling to suffer this loss.

He was silent for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "Since it was the decision made by the military advisor, I naturally listened to it."

After saying that, he said to Changsui Ge Long beside him: "You send orders to let Lu Guangwei mobilize his troops and go out of the city to fight."

Ge Long said: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Watching him walk out, Zhu Chengjin slowly turned his head to look at Xu Shizong and said, "In this way, can the military advisor start preparing to ascend the throne?"

Xu Shizong said: "This is not possible at the moment."

"Um?"

The two of them had just decided, but unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Chengjin agreed to let Lu Guangwei go to war, Xu Shizong immediately changed his words. Suddenly, Zhu Chengjin's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Military advisor, are you going to go back on your word?"

Xu Shizong said calmly: "Young Master calms down, I am planning for you."

"snort."

"We have just taken down Jinling City, and the city has not yet been completely cleared. In addition, Lu Guangwei goes to war, if--"

Zhu Chengjin's face was even more angry: "Why, do you want to say that he will lose? Who said that he would not win this battle just now?"

Xu Shizong immediately said: "Young Master, I just want to say that if there is no need to win on the battlefield, let alone Lu Guangwei will win this battle, but there is still one thing that the young master's ascension ceremony must be waited."

Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you waiting for?"

Xu Shizong said: "Now the city of Jinling has not been cleared yet. Although there is no major war, these people may not be able to be so obedient. They are afraid that they will be waiting for the royal army to move south, and then they will rise up again."

“…”

"If that were the case, the young master could imagine what kind of crisis we would face."

Hearing him say this, Zhu Chengjin's brows frowned.

Indeed, this is a question they cannot ignore.

He thought for a while, then sneered, "According to what you said, they will wait for one day, and I have to wait for one day. Then, will I live in this Jinling Palace without any clarity?"

"That's not."

"When will we wait?"

"Wait until, defeat Xu Shifeng again."

Suddenly hearing Xu Shifeng's name, Nan Yan's spirit suddenly shook and looked up at him.

Xu Shizong obviously felt her gaze, but at this time, he didn't care about Nan Yan at all. He said to Zhu Chengjin, who also had a serious expression, "Before, we had defeated him on the river. Different from the news today, he was still summoning people."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengjin sneered: "Your brother is, really - loyal."

Xu Shizong's face also became slightly darker.

But then he said, "The first time he crossed the river, he was not accustomed to water wars, and he was in a hurry, so he was defeated very quickly. But in the past few days, I heard that he had already gone to Yangzhou Prefecture, summoned the soldiers who were accusing water wars there, and gathered again to prepare to cross the river."

“…”

"This time, it will be a tough battle."

Zhu Chengjin thought for a while and said, "Aren't there the two Xingluohu following?"

Xu Shizong said calmly, "Young Master, Xingluo Lake - after all, it is a group of water bandits."

This sentence made Nan Yan feel sad again.

Although Zhu Chengjin and his group had been living in Tiangang Lianwu before, and Luo Xingwen could ask them to take two of the four elders and their subordinates directly, it can be seen that the two sides must have discussed clearly, and there will be a division of interests in the future, but the bandits are bandits.

Xu Shizong has always called himself a Confucian scholar, so he would not be able to like this kind of person.

If he really liked it, then the one who instigated Re Yuewan in Shazhou Guard shouldn't have been Long Tingyun. After all, Zhu Feng was so close to danger that time. If there was someone who could plan well, for example, Xu Shizong, many things would probably change.

And now it can be seen that although he has not yet won completely, Xu Shizong has already drawn a clear line with the people of Xingluo Lake.

Zhu Chengjin looked at him: "What you mean is-"

Xu Shizong said lightly: "Young Master naturally understands it in his heart."

“…”

"The young master will ascend the throne sooner or later. Now, we cannot rely too much on these people, otherwise they will be in a great way with these support achievements in the future."

Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes.

In fact, they didn't have to be afraid to talk about such things in front of Nanyan. As the imperial concubine who has been with Zhu Feng for so many years, Zhu Feng taught her so much, and she had long understood that among the forces behind Zhu Chengjin, Xingluo Lake is the most shameful group.

It is not only what Xu Shizong wants to draw a clear line.

Even if he really has a chance in the future - of course, Nan Yan would not admit that he would have that chance, but as he imagined, he would be more ruthless, and he would probably have to deal with this group of people.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Chengjin said, "You go and do it."

Xu Shizong then said, "Yes."

After saying so many words, he finally couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from his sleeve to cover his mouth. There were a series of coughs that made his chest shatter.

Zhu Chengjin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Military advisor... take good care of himself."

"Cough cough cough cough, thank you, thank you... Young Master, cough cough cough--"

While coughing, he asked Xiaoman to support him and turned around and walked out.

When the coughing sounded far away, Zhu Chengjin turned around thoughtfully and saw Nan Yan pointing to Tingfu behind him, "Give me a bowl of soup."

Tingfu immediately picked up a small bowl and served a bowl of soup and delivered it to her.

Zhu Chengjin looked at her like this and said with a smile: "You are free."

Nan Yan blew gently at Tang and said, "At least, with this military advisor here, I can really have a few meals of Ansheng."

"snort."

“It’s amazing to say that.”

While savoring the soup, Nanyan said lightly: "This person has never been discovered by me in the past. He is very wise and close to demons and cannot be used by the current emperor. It's a pity."

Zhu Chengjin sneered even more.

Nan Yan smiled again and said, "But, such a considerate person has troops and horses in his hands, why not--"

Speaking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhu Chengjin.

Immediately, she smiled again, "By the way, the master is famous, after all, he is not named "Zhu"."
