Chapter 3113 Divine Soldiers Descending from the Sky
At this moment, everyone was a little panicked, and Lu Guangwei, Guo Mi and others immediately stepped forward.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Zhu Chengjin didn't react at all.
He seemed to be still immersed in the shock of the enemy's troops rushing out from the Zichen Palace where he had escaped and taking control of the Jinling Imperial Palace. He was stunned for a long time and kept muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
“…”
"How could they possibly break out of Zichen Palace?"
“…”
"The tunnels in the Purple Palace have clearly been sealed. I have already thoroughly checked them after entering Jinling City. How could they possibly have done that?!"
Seeing him like this, everyone was a little at a loss.
Although there was usually someone in command in the army, in the past it was the military advisor Xu Shizong, and now there were also naval leaders Li Chen and Fang Zhen, and even Zhu Chengjin's confidants Lu Guangwei and Guo Mi, but now that he was in the army himself, naturally everyone did not dare to make decisions casually and had to obey his command.
Unexpectedly, he was completely unable to recover.
Guo Mi's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, Master, what should we do now?"
But Zhu Chengjin didn't hear what he said at all.
He kept muttering, "How is it possible? They can't, they can't possibly do that."
At this time, a cold voice said: "Why is it impossible?"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone immediately turned around and saw the imperial concubine Si Nanyan looking at them coldly. The flickering firelight illuminated her eyes, and her disdainful look clearly revealed a hint of undisguised arrogance.
Zhu Chengjin's face immediately darkened and he said, "What did you say?"
Nan Yan sneered, "You think it's impossible? Do you think the sudden appearance of imperial troops from Zichen Palace is like a divine army descending from the sky?"
“…”
"How is this any different from when the Emperor launched the Jingnan Campaign and captured Jinling City?"
“…”
"He is the Son of Heaven, destined by heaven, and God will naturally protect him."
“…”
"As long as he wants, not to mention the Purple Palace, even the Golden Throne, the Emperor's men will show up."
Hearing her words, everyone around her suddenly felt a sense of panic.
Although not many people had actually experienced the Jingnan Campaign that year when Zhu Feng, the Prince of Yan, led his army south to capture the city of Jinling, it was indeed incredible that his troops broke out from the Zichen Palace this time. After hearing what Nan Yan said, everyone began to feel uneasy.
Is this really the case?
Only the emperor is the true Son of Heaven, the one chosen by heaven, and the one who will be blessed by heaven.
The imperial court’s troops descended from the sky like a miracle. Is it really God helping them?
Thinking of this, the originally noisy voices around suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at each other, their eyes and faces flickering like the flames swaying in the river breeze.
Obviously, many people's mentality has become uneasy.
If the other party is the destiny, then what they are doing now is not going against the will of heaven?
If you go against the will of heaven, won’t you be punished by God in the end?
Just when everyone was feeling a bit panicky, Zhu Chengjin grabbed the person who had returned to report the news and said with a ferocious look on his face, "Who is the person who came out of Zichen Palace to kill people?"
"ah?"
"Is it Zhu Feng?!"
Hearing this question, Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly. She saw that Zhu Chengjin's face was completely distorted by anger and panic. He was originally a handsome man, but at this moment, his whole face looked like the evil ghost Yaksha in the temple murals. Even the person who brought the news was frightened to the point of his legs going weak. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's not."
"no?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengjin's expression seemed to relax a little.
He asked again, "Who is it?"
The messenger thought for a moment and said, "I heard from those who left the palace that the first group of people who broke out of the Purple Palace were dressed in brocade clothes, and each of them had a finely crafted sword. Oh, and the leader was only twenty years old, wearing a Feiyu suit and holding an embroidered spring sword..."
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It’s the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
The leader is the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Li Bushang!
Only the rigorously trained Jinyiwei were qualified to carry out such a mission. It's important to note that the Jinyiwei accompanying Zhu Feng south this time were few in number, but they were all incredibly strong and skilled in martial arts, capable of defeating ten enemies with one. Using them as the vanguard to break out of the Purple Palace would be the best way to intimidate Zhu Chengjin's men left behind in the Jinling Imperial Palace, allowing the court to quickly control the Jinling Imperial Palace through the Purple Palace's forces.
Then, by spreading out the troops from the inside out, they would soon be able to control the nine inner and outer gates of Jinling City.
But now, it depends on what Zhu Chengjin chooses.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Nan Yan's eyes, and she glanced coldly at Zhu Chengjin. When he heard that it was such a group of people who came out of Zichen Palace, his eyes lit up, and the ferocious face slowly relaxed, and he even showed a hint of a smile.
Said: "Haha, it's not him, it's not him."
“…”
"He has been killed. How could he appear in Zichen Palace? That's right, he is dead."
He was naturally referring to Zhu Feng.
The people around him were completely unable to understand the fear and hatred he felt towards Zhu Feng. To them, no matter who it was, as long as they controlled the Jinling Palace and then the city of Jinling, it would be a huge blow to them.
Guo Mi took another step forward and said anxiously, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Zhu Chengjin seemed to come back to his senses at this time and turned to look at them: "What?"
Seeing him like this, everyone became anxious and asked in unison, "Sir, should we continue to send troops to Yangzhou?"
"I think we should turn around and go back."
"That's right, Jinling City is our stronghold. If we lose Jinling City, what will we do in the future?"
"No, I think we should continue to attack Yangzhou. Now we are in Jiangshan, and it's like an arrow on a string!"
Seeing that everyone around them was arguing, Li Chen and Fang Zhen on the warship in the distance were not quite clear about what was happening. They just watched time pass by little by little, and the fog on the river was gradually blown away by the night wind. If they delayed any longer, the best opportunity for their attack would be gone.
So, he desperately asked the boatman to wave torches towards this side, urging Zhu Chengjin to order the troops to go.
Nan Yan glanced around and saw that the small boats around the big ship were also looming around the big ship, but they were always following closely, not a step behind.
She turned to look at Zhu Chengjin, only to see him pondering for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Send out the troops!"
