Xu Shizong glanced at Nan Yan again, but didn't say anything after all. After drinking the cup of tea, eating a little more, he stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "Then I wish the military advisor a victory."

"Thank you."

After Xu Shizong finished speaking, he looked back at Nanyan. Although he seemed to have something to say, he thought for a while and didn't say much. He only reminded him again: "Young master is in the palace, you should still pay attention to the people around you. Shifeng's active crossing the river this time is indeed his nature, but for such a long time, the government in Jiangbei has not even reacted at all, which is unusual."

Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "All the leaders are dead, what else can they react?"

“…”

"If I fail to cross the river this time, then Jiangbei will be in chaos."

“…”

"At that time, I will still expect the military advisor to cross the river and go north and recover the lost territory. Does the military advisor have such plans?"

Xu Shizong looked at him, then remained silent for a moment, and said, "Of course I plan to have it. But now, I'd better get through the current difficulties first."

Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "This is not a difficult situation now."

“…”

"I believe that the military advisor will be able to win easily and eventually win triumphantly."

Xu Shizong said: "Thank you, Mr. Ji Yan."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Nan Yan kept sitting at the table, fiddling with the small teacup in front of him, watching the two of them talking. When Xu Shizong's back disappeared outside the Wuying Hall, Zhu Chengjin slowly turned his head and looked at her, sneering, "Are you afraid?"

Nan Yan said lightly: "Even if the Xu brothers died on the river today, the blood will not splash on my body. What's there to be afraid of?"

Zhu Chengjin said: "Then who do you think will die?"

Nan Yan shook his face.

She was quiet for a while before she slowly said, "Actually, you don't have to guess that neither of them will die."

Zhu Chengjin frowned slightly: "Oh?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You may not know who Xu Shifeng is, but as a concubine of the dynasty, I also educated his nephew, which is very close to him. I know his personality very well. Even if this time it is under the banner of quelling the rebellion, he will definitely not kill his elder brother."

"What about Xu Shizong?"

"he?"

Nan Yan smiled faintly, looked at Zhu Chengjin intentionally, and then said, "He didn't even agree with the whole family of the Jian family. How could he kill his brother?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chengjin's face immediately became dark.

This is not something Nan Yan said nonsense, but what he revealed when he was talking to Xu Shizong before. If Nan Yan was not wrong, Xu Shizong and Zhu Chengjin must have had conflicts in this matter, but in the end, Zhu Chengjin asked someone to take action, so until now, Xu Shizong should have a deep regret about this matter.

Sure enough, when she saw Zhu Chengjin's expression, she knew that she had guessed it right.

Nan Yan sneered in his heart and continued, "So, if he wins a lot today, he will definitely not attack his brothers. The best way is of course to capture them alive."

“…”

"Let his brother come across the river and join him, this should be what he hopes most."

“…”

"Their brothers are both literary and military, and if they really combine the two swords-"

Speaking of this, Nan Yan deliberately paused, looked at Zhu Chengjin's complicated eyes, and then smiled and said, "Your hands may have one more general. It's a great congratulation."

After saying that, she stood up and left with Tingfu and Dragonfly without waiting for Zhu Chengjin to say anything.

Zhu Chengjin didn't stop him either.

At this time, he sat at the table. Although he watched Nan Yan's back leave, his eyes were slightly red. As soon as Nan Yan walked away, Guo Mi immediately walked in from outside and said softly: "Young Master..."

Zhu Chengjin glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Guo Mi whispered: "There is something wrong with this woman's words."

“What’s the problem?”

"She said that if Master Xu took action, he would capture his brother across Jiang and become the general of the prince. However, now the emperor's life and death are unknown, and Xu Shifeng is still running around to gather people across Jiang. He is obviously loyal to the emperor, so it is not easy to join the prince's command."

“…”

"Besides, both of them have the surname Xu."

“…”

"If the two of you are really in harmony with each other in this literary and military life - Young Master, your foundation in Jiangnan is still unstable. If they have a different intention, can the status of the young master be protected?"

These words obviously hit Zhu Chengjin's heart.

He glanced at Guo Mi: "Do you think Xu Shizong would betray me?"

Guo Mi said, "I dare not say this."

“…”

"But Xu Shizong is so capable that the young master must not be careful."

“…”

"It was him who captured Jinling City; it was him who took the Jinling Palace. Although Lord Lu is now sent to face the three other troops from Jiangnan, no one knows this war. The entire Jiangnan people only look at the battle on the river. Xu Shizong's people here are very high."

“…”

"If the young master doesn't make some preparations, I don't know who it belongs to in a few days of the throne ceremony."

When Zhu Chengjin heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He thought for a while and waved to Guo Mi: "Come here."

Guo Mi immediately followed him, listened to his instructions, nodded quickly, and then turned around and went out.

Zhu Chengjin sat in the spacious but empty Wuying Hall. Although the sun was shining outside and the main hall was steaming, his body was as cold as if he was in the snow and ice. This feeling of loneliness has been lingering around him like a poisonous snake since he was expelled from the Jinling Palace and left Jinling City.

Even if I come back, I still can't get rid of this feeling.

Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Come here!"

Ge Long was waiting outside, and when he heard his voice, he immediately walked in: "What are the instructions for the young master?"

Zhu Chengjin said: "Go and ask Ye Zheng if the matter he told him was done."

Ge Long said: "Young Master is talking about choosing a concubine?"

"Or what else!"

"This, Mr. Ye chose some people, all of whom were in the Yeting area, but at the moment, there was not enough people and he had not been able to choose them out. The young master is now in a state of Wanfang, and those who are close to the young master have to choose frivolously, so as not to have idle people mingle among them, threatening the young master's safety."

Zhu Chengjin naturally knew that after the previous battle, how many people in Jinling City wanted to kill him.

But he can no longer bear it now.
