Chapter 3023 Old Man
The one who wants to see me now is the local tyrant!
but--
Just as Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, Zhu Chengjin's brows knitted together slightly as he said, "Didn't she come up from downstairs yesterday and meet those four old guys?"
The girl lowered her head and whispered, "The old man is back."
When Zhu Chengjin heard the word "old man", his expression changed.
Nan Yan's spirit was even more shocked.
Old man?
The four elders she met yesterday were already the ones who had the say on the Xingluo Lake side, and there was also the "old man" who wanted to see her early in the morning.
Moreover, judging from Zhu Chengjin's expression, he didn't take the four elders seriously, but it seemed that he didn't dare to be too presumptuous towards this "old man".
Grandpa...
As far as Nan Yan could think of, there was only one person in Tiangang Lianhuanwu who possessed such great power that even Zhu Chengjin did not dare to underestimate him.
Realizing this, she suddenly felt a shudder in her heart, and even cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Zhu Chengjin was silent for a while and said, "Now?"
"Yes, people are already waiting on the other side of the plank road."
“…”
Zhu Chengjin then turned to look at Nan Yan, who had already stood up and dusted off her clothes. Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you know who you're going to meet?"
Nan Yan said, "No matter who it is, I have to go."
"Oh? Are you so obedient?"
"I came here as a prisoner, and no one can protect me. What will happen if I don't obey?"
Hearing this, although she was clearly belittling him, Zhu Chengjin's face suddenly darkened. Without waiting for him to say anything, Nan Yan turned to the girl and said, "Lead the way."
She looked like a prisoner with no sense of being one, and was clearly still an imperial concubine who was high and mighty and giving orders. However, Zhu Chengjin was sitting far away, and her words kept echoing in his ears. Although the sky was bright outside, his face became gloomy.
Nan Yan followed the girl to the plank road and saw two men standing there.
Speaking of which, they came up from "below", and Nan Yan's influence on the people below was all the burly and bandit-looking pirates she saw yesterday. But these two men - although they were also wearing short clothes and had dark skin, they did not have any bandit-like air. When they saw her coming, they even raised their hands and made a gesture to her that was considered elegant in the eyes of the pirates.
"please."
These two people are a bit like Lu Linchuan who was rowing the boat before.
Moreover, they didn't say much. After saying that one word, they led Nan Yan downstairs one after another without saying another word.
Last night, only Ye Zheng brought them up with a lantern, and Nan Yan could only see where the lantern illuminated, and could not see the entire surroundings at all. Only then did she realize that the mountain under her feet stood tall on the island, surrounded by a misty cloud. The mountain walls stood straight, and one plank road after another was connected end to end, winding from top to bottom to form a road, which was truly a masterpiece of nature.
I don’t know how many people put in so much effort to build it.
But think about it, Emperor Gao and Zhu Feng built magnificent palaces in Jinling and Beiping respectively, while the ones who stayed here were the ones who had fought with Emperor Gao for the world in the past. They were only one step away from the throne, so they must have had a lot of rifts in their hearts.
After walking for a long time, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. The two men led Nan Yan back to the big house along the same route as yesterday. As soon as they approached and went in, Nan Yan found that the atmosphere inside was completely different from last night.
The four elders were still sitting in the same seats as yesterday.
However, the doorway and the main hall were filled with people standing in neat rows. They were all tall and strong young men, similar to the two young men who had just come to pick her up.
It can be clearly seen that this group of people are of the same kind.
In other words, the people used by the four elders are different.
So, the person I want to meet today——
Thinking of this, Nan Yan walked through the tall doorway. When she looked up, she saw that the empty main seat from last night was now empty. Instead, there was a thin figure standing in front of the chair with his hands behind his back, facing the entire lobby and the people in it.
As soon as Nan Yan saw that figure, her heart trembled.
Although only the back of this person was shown, she could tell that he was the "old man" they had mentioned before. His hair and beard were gray, and his body was as thin as a dead pine tree. The hands behind his back were old and wrinkled, like dry bark.
However, just because this person was standing here, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed completely. Even the four elders who were so arrogant and domineering yesterday were now holding their breath, as if they didn't even dare to breathe.
Nan Yan also subconsciously held her breath.
Two young men brought him in and said to the old man in front of them, "Old man, the person is here."
The man said "hmm" but did not turn around.
Nan Yan slowly walked to the center of the room and looked around at the people around her. There was no face worth remembering. Then, she raised her head and looked at the back.
"It's you who wants to see me?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone in the quiet room seemed startled, and several elders frowned and glared at her.
But Nan Yan was not afraid at all, and looked at the motionless figure with a "fearless" look.
After a long while, she heard a chuckle.
It was indeed an old voice. Although it was just a light laugh, it seemed to contain a lot of meaning. He still did not turn around, but only said: "I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived, but how come the distinguished guest does not even have a servant by his side?"
“…”
Nan Yan originally had an attitude of "What can you do to me?", but when she heard these words, the expression on her face froze.
One of the elders, Fu Zhiqiu, immediately said, "She, she also brought someone here yesterday."
Nan Yan immediately said, "I heard someone wanted to see me, and I wanted to see who it was, so I rushed over. Now that I'm here, you can naturally handle the work, and there's no need for my people to follow me everywhere."
The man above seemed to nod.
He said: "That makes sense. Then, I will give you someone to serve."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Nan Yan looked back and saw a big man carrying Tingfu, whose hands were tied behind his back, and walked in and threw him to the ground.
"Listen to Fu!"
