Chapter 265 Asking

When Northern Jin, Northern Zhou, and Southern Yan announced that they would give Jiangcheng three days to surrender or face a day of massacre, the tragic news of Emperor Chu Ming's sudden death immediately spread from the Jokhang Palace.

This tragic news was enough to make the people of Jiangcheng burst into extreme grief and anger.

Southern Yan adhered to the ways of a gentleman, while Northern Jin was strict in military discipline.

Only the Northern Zhou Dynasty was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. Wherever it went, there was looting, smashing, burning, and wailing.

Therefore, the people of Jiangcheng were extremely disgusted with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Zhenzhen, why don't you come back to Nanyan with me. No matter how unfree Nanyan is, it is still safe. The Northern Zhou has a bad reputation, and I'm afraid that your reputation of possessing the treasure of the Great Zhou cannot suppress a bunch of soldiers." Chen Ming'an went to Haiyue Cottage again. The dark circles under his eyes could not hide his fatigue, but his eyes were full of worry.

Zhu Huaizhen was lying on a black lacquered and gold-painted beauty couch surrounded by scrolls of poetry and paintings, holding a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and moving it from time to time, as lazy as a Persian cat, while listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".

Qiu Niang finally gave her strong medicine, and her cough was half cured.

Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.

However, she had neither the courage to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall nor the heart to drink the rich and colorful Lu'an Sparrow Sheath Tea with sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, and walnut kernels, mixed with spring immortal seagulls, swan osmanthus, rose and brine.

Oh, life is so boring.

"Then kill them all." Tu Mi said coldly, murderous intent.

"Tu Mi, although you are a martial arts master, how many can you kill? You are really powerless." Chen Ming'an sighed lightly.

"Prince Chen, you underestimate me and my prince too much." Tu Mi said angrily.

Zhu Huaizhen really wanted to nod, but then he changed his mind and an idea suddenly came to him.

She held her rosy cheeks and smiled brightly: "Chen Ming'an, can you lend me a group of Nanyan guards? I can choose them."

After hearing this, Chen Mingan felt very confused and did not agree immediately.

He also thought that Zhu Huaizhen didn't want to be protected by him.

After all, Zhu Huaizhen resented him.

Haha, Chen Mingan was really overthinking it. Zhu Huaizhen had long since stopped holding any grudges.

There is resentment only when there is love. Zhu Huaizhen never loved Chen Mingan, he just liked her once.

"Okay, Zhenzhen." Chen Ming'an finally softened his eyes, and unconsciously reached out and smoothed Zhu Huaizhen's hair.

So, Chen Mingan summoned all the guards from Southern Yan to Haiyue Cottage for Zhu Huaizhen to choose from.

"Ming'an, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is freshly stewed, but I have a severe cough and dare not eat it." Zhu Huaizhen smiled, his eyes bright.

Chen Mingan had his doubts, and he didn't like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

However, Zhu Huaizhen hadn't called him without his surname for a long time.

This was a long-lost intimacy, which Chen Mingan missed very much.

Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.

Under Zhu Huaizhen's expectant gaze, Chen Mingan chewed the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall slowly until the end.

With a thud, Chen Mingan fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
