"General Xu,"

Chen Xuan stared at the big ship with a conspicuous figure, obviously it was the imperial concubine Si Nanyan: "Do you want to catch up?"

“…”

Xu Shifeng did not speak, but watched the boats leave quickly along the river. The huge hull quickly merged into the dark night, leaving only the flames of the river and the strong smell of blood in the gushing heat.

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Chen Xuan called out again: "General Xu?"

“…”

Xu Shifeng was still silent, and Chen Xuan realized that his expression was a little dazed.

Then he stopped talking and stood beside him. After a while, he heard Xu Shifeng's voice in a very low voice, but in an extremely heavy tone, he slowly said, "He is not here."

"……he?"

Chen Xuan thought about it and immediately came to his senses.

The "he" Xu Shifeng should refer to his brother, the military advisor who has always followed Zhu Chengjin to rebel - Xu Shizong.

In the previous battles, you can see Xu Shizong's figure, but this time, not only did he not appear, but the opponent's tactics can be said to be very messy. Although Chen Xuan knew that they were also a mechanism to calculate this time, with the wisdom and means that Xu Shizong showed when he took down Jinling, they should not have won so easily tonight.

But it just so "easy".

In other words, there was no participation of Xu Shizong in this battle from beginning to end.

Chen Xuan whispered: "General Xu..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Shifeng’s eyes blushing.

But immediately, he reached out and touched his face hard, wiped away the mist on his face that had just blown by the wind, leaving only one or two undetectable water marks, and then turned his head and said, "Follow."

Chen Xuan said: "Do you want to chase after me?"

"No need to chase, just follow."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the ships that had already sailed away. Although he could no longer see the outline of the ships, Xu Shifeng had already understood the place they were going.

He Nannan said: "They have only one way to go."

|

As Xu Shifeng said, although the Yangtze River is long and wide, the small boats carried by those large ships have no other way to such a fleet.

The panic was like a dark cloud, covering everyone in the entire fleet.

When it was almost dawn, Nanyan walked to the deck.

A cold wind blew, and she suddenly shivered.

It's actually so cold.

When I looked up again, I saw that it was dark around me. Before dawn, there was only a little bit of white fish belly in the east, but it was soon blocked by the high shadows around me. When I looked closely, their fleet entered a river channel, with high mountain canyons on both sides, which squeezed a not-so-wide river channel in the middle, and seemed to be broken at any time.

This river is very strange.

However, Nanyan is not surprised at all. After all, in front of this big ship, Li Chen's ship was leading.

These people have been dominating Xingluo Lake for decades and have already known where every ditch here will flow. Before, they rushed from Xingluo Lake to Jinling and took a road that was not on the map. This time they went back, and the situation was more urgent than when they came. They obviously would take a closer and less-known road.

Nanyan looked around and then turned his gaze forward.

On the bow of the boat, there was a figure so thin that it seemed to be blown away by the cold wind at any time.

It's Zhu Chengjin.

When she walked into the cabin last night, he had been standing there, and he was still there, as if he hadn't even moved.

She was about to walk over, but Ge Long, who was following Zhu Chengjin, had immediately reached out to stop her.

Nan Yan blinked and looked at Ge Long: "What are you doing?"

Ge Long said coldly with a calm face: "No one should approach him without the permission of the young master."

Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but sneer.

When he was in the Jinling Palace before, Zhu Chengjin was not so cautious. Instead, now, he is obviously on the same boat and he can't even get close to him.

It seems that he was really frightened?

She said coldly: "Just on this ship, people are coming and going, who can you avoid?"

Zhu Chengjin was still standing at the bow of the boat with his back facing her.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Did you know it long ago?"

"What do you know?"

"I know I'll lose."

“…”

Hearing this, Nan Yan sneered again and said, "I am just a weak woman. If I talk about the means of competing for favor in the harem, I can still have the confidence to repel Baji; but what you are talking about is a war, a matter of killing the enemy, and fighting with real swords and guns. How could I know about this kind of thing?"

“…”

"What's more, the three strategies are all made by Xu Shizong for you. If you really lose, it's also Xu Shizong's problem."

"No, it's not his problem."

Zhu Chengjin grabbed the fence of the bow with both hands. Because of his too hard work, Nan Yan could even see his shoulder blades rising high through his clothes.

He said, "It's you, you told me to choose Ze."

Nan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile on his face became deeper, and he said, "I told you to choose Ce? When did I say this?"

“…”

"From the beginning to the end, except for you asking me which three characters are respectively, and I told you, I didn't even say a word about Zhongce."

“…”

Zhu Chengjin was silent for a long time again.

The wind at the bow of the boat became colder, and it was also the coldness that made them vaguely realize that summer was over.

At this time, there was also a little movement at the stern of the boat, as if someone was walking around.

It seems that it was Lu Linchuan and his men who had been staying on the ship after they got on the ship. In order to hurry back to Xingluo Lake, they would no longer delay any effort on the road. These people remained on the ship. However, Zhu Chengjin asked them to go to the stern and did not allow them to get close to the bow.

Now, no one is allowed to get close to him.

Nan Yan looked back and saw that no one lit the torch at the stern of the boat. He could only vaguely see a few people walking around, but naturally, these people could not get close to the bow of the boat.

At this time, Zhu Chengjin spoke again: "It's because you didn't say a word."

“…”

"This is the method you asked me to choose Zhongce."

Nan Yan sneered, "I can't understand even more. Xu Shizong clearly wrote the three stories there, and I didn't say a word. Even if you have to choose, you have three chances. Why did it happen? I will definitely choose Zhongce?"

"Because of you, you will do your best."

Zhu Chengjin said: "His death is the first step you arranged."
