Zhu Chengjin's face became even heavier: "Where are others?"

Zhou Ning said: "I have returned to the back of Wuying Palace."

When Zhu Chengjin heard this, he immediately put on his clothes and walked out of Jiaotai Hall. But after he walked out, he paused again, turned around and ordered the person who served behind him. The man immediately entered Jiaotai Hall and closed the door.

Nanyan stood outside, staring at the Jiaotai Hall.

The man in the hall seemed to have already put on his clothes, but he had not walked out of the inner room and stayed inside and listened quietly.

Once the door is closed, you can't see anything.

Nan Yan let out a deep breath and followed them to Wuying Palace.

Bypassing Wuying Hall, he soon arrived at the row of houses behind, just like when Nan Yan left here. But as soon as he walked around, he smelled a strong smell of medicine in the air, which rushed straight to his nose. Zhu Chengjin walked in front of him and immediately reached out to cover his mouth and nose with disgust. Several Changsu carrying lanterns walked forward and illuminated Xu Shizong's room. The little man was squatting on the ground, holding a fan on the fire and boiling medicine for the small stove with tears on his face.

When he saw such a large group of people coming, he stood up and saluted tremblingly: "Young Master."

"Where is Xu Shi--Where is the military advisor?"

"The eldest son, he is in the room."

When Zhu Chengjin heard this, he immediately pushed the door and walked in.

The room is not big and cannot accommodate so many people. After Zhu Chengjin entered, the people behind him looked at it for a moment and did not dare to walk in. Only his Changsui Ge Long and Zhou Ning went in. Nan Yan thought about it, walked over and stood at the door.

At first glance, Xu Shizong sat on the bed.

His hair was also wet on his face. When he was sitting on the head of the bed, he wet his pillow a lot, but he obviously came back to change his clothes and was wearing only a thin long gown. When he sat there, his body was so thin that he could hardly see his shape.

He was coughing violently.

The whole chest was shaken by the cough, and the muffled sound made people feel very uncomfortable. After coughing for a long time, he barely raised his head. Even if he hid the handkerchief in his hand, the faint redness of the corner of his mouth could no longer be hidden.

He saw red again.

Zhu Chengjin walked in with a gloomy face, but when he saw this, he changed his face and said with concern: "What's wrong with the military advisor?"

Xu Shizong did not answer him immediately.

Instead, he turned around and looked at Nanyan.

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

What did he watch him do? If he really captured Xu Shifeng alive tonight, what he had to do now should be to explain clearly to Zhu Chengjin and save Xu Shifeng's life.

So, she didn't say anything.

Xu Shizong's face was pale, and only his eyes were congested and red due to the cough. He coughed twice again, and then said, "Young Master is here so late."

Zhu Chengjin said: "I heard that the military advisor won a great victory, so I came here to take a look."

Xu Shizong said: "In this battle, I will be blessed by the Prince Tianwei and Emperor Gao's spirit in heaven, and will win a great victory and annihilate countless enemies. This time, Jiangnan can win Chang'an."

A smile appeared on Zhu Chengjin's face: "That's good."

“…”

"I knew that the military advisor would definitely not disappoint me."

Xu Shizong said: "Yes."

Zhu Chengjin said again: "However, what I heard is that not only did it defeat several ships in Jiangbei, but it annihilated countless enemies. The military advisor also captured one person alive this time. I wonder who it was?"

Hearing this, Xu Shizong slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him.

This look is deep and sharp.

Under the dim lights on the side, there was a feeling of a hawk staring at the prey in the middle of the night, which made people shudder.

Zhu Chengjin's heart trembled.

He knew very well that Xu Shizong was so scheming that no one could find out his bottom until now. It was just because he was willing to assist him for the sake of orthodox destiny that he could bring him under his command. But Zhu Chengjin himself knew that this person was difficult to control.

At that glance, he almost overwhelmed himself.

Zhu Chengjin frowned: "Military advisor, what do you want to say?"

Xu Shizong took a deep breath and said, "The battle tonight can be fought and chased by victory, why did the young master suddenly send someone to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops?"

Nan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Taking advantage of the victory, but then we will withdraw our troops?

In other words, in the battle on the river just now, Xu Shizong not only won, but also planned to continue pursuing. However, Zhu Chengjin sent people to guard the riverside in advance. When the battle was won and they were about to pursue it, he suddenly asked Xu Shizong and the others to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.

In other words, he did not want Xu Shizong to take advantage of the victory and capture Xu Shifeng alive.

But--

Zhu Chengjin's face was not very good, but he still forced a smile and said, "I am also worried about the military advisor's body. Besides, don't chase the enemy. If they still have an ambush in Jiangbei, the military advisor Ruomao rashly chased after them and fell into their ambush. If the military advisor is injured and captured, it will be a big trouble."

Xu Shizong glanced at him: "I will consider these."

Zhu Chengjin said: "No matter what, winning tonight is a great achievement of the military advisor. I will naturally remember this for the military advisor. Besides—"

He said, "Didn't the military advisor get what he wants?"

Xu Shizong looked up at him.

Zhu Chengjin's face was slightly heavy and he said, "They just said that the military advisor captured someone alive."

“…”

"Is it your brother?"

“…”

"If this is the case, why don't the military advisor bring him up to meet me?"

Xu Shizong looked up at him: "Young Master is sure to see this person?"

When Zhu Chengjin heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He said with a smile: "Why, can't I see the person I caught by the military advisor?"

“…”

Xu Shizong was silent for a while. Just then, Xiaoman brought the boiled medicine in and just put it on his bedside. The strong bitter smell suddenly filled the entire house. The people in the room couldn't help but frown, while Xu Shizong only looked down and said lightly: "Xiaoman, bring the person from the room next to him."

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

It turned out that he locked the person in the room he lived in before.

Seeing Xiaoman walking over with the people, although she tried her best to calm herself down, her heartbeat still became violent involuntarily, as if it was about to burst out from her chest.

Is it really Xu Shifeng?

Was Xu Shifeng really caught by them?

If so, what else can they do next?

Thinking of this, her palm was covered in cold sweat, and she heard footsteps behind her back. Someone walked out of the room next to her and walked into this room.

As soon as he saw this person, Nan Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock.

"Xiaoyu?!"
