Chapter 3005 Even You Lied to Me
However, according to what she had just seen, most of the forces here were still the water bandits from Tiangang Lianhuanwu, that is to say, the local tyrants were still in the dominant position.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ye Zheng.
Said: "After all, we are old friends. I will go with you."
Ye Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her, but didn't say much.
However, when the elders heard Nan Yan's words, their aged faces were all filled with anger. Li Chen even shook Fang Zhen's hand away and said angrily, "You let her choose? Who is she? She's just an ant in our hands. What qualifications does she have to make the decision here?"
Fang Zhen said, "Old Li, calm down. She's right here and she can't get away."
Fu Zhiqiu turned and walked in front of Ye Zheng, and the two looked at each other for a while.
Fu Zhiqiu said, "Boy, I can let you take the person away, but you have to understand that this is Xingluo Lake and Tiangang Lianhuanwu. You are not the one who makes the decision, and it is not your turn!"
Ye Zheng said coldly: "I want to take the person away, but you have no right to control what he thinks and does!"
Fu Zhiqiu frowned.
In the past, when he was with Zhu Feng, Ye Zheng always looked like a child who had never grown up. It was also because Zhu Feng doted on him. Even when the emperor was in a bad mood, he was the only one who dared to make jokes. Perhaps because of this, although Zhu Feng wanted to use him, he was reluctant to let him go. Even if he was sent to Shazhou Guard, he would immediately transfer him back when he saw that he was injured.
Always treat him like a child.
Nan Yan, following Zhu Feng, also had such emotions.
But the Ye Zheng in front of him, although not as high-spirited as he was in the past in the court, not afraid of anyone except the emperor, and looking like he was about to turn the world upside down, but when he stood in front of Fu Zhiqiu, thin and haggard, and met the other's gaze coldly, he did not retreat at all.
There is even a momentum of counter-pressure.
Seeing him like this, Fu Zhiqiu knew that he would get nothing out of it, so he sneered, waved his sleeves, and walked back to his seat and sat down.
Nan Yan looked at Ye Zheng again, only to see him give her a cold look and say, "Let's go."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to walk towards the small door at the back.
Nan Yan followed with Ting Fu, and the other big men followed behind them. As they walked out of the small door, Nan Yan heard Li Chen say angrily, "I told you a long time ago that we can't let them get too complacent. If we just do whatever they want, sooner or later we'll have a big upheaval here—"
Nan Yan walked out silently.
After going out of the small door, I saw a large open space outside with a row of houses on each side. They seemed to be used for living, but there was no light inside.
It was pitch black ahead, with only sporadic flames hanging in the air. After walking a long way, Nan Yan realized that there was a big mountain in front of her. A plank road climbed up from the foot of the mountain. There were many houses built on the mountain. The floating flames she had just seen came from there.
A big man holding a torch walked in front.
Ye Zheng and Nan Yan walked in the middle, with a few people following behind.
Perhaps he didn't know what to say, or perhaps there was nothing to say at all. Ye Zheng was very quiet along the way. Nan Yan could only see the back of his gloomy head in the light of the fire. Then she thought back to the time when he was always chattering when she was by her side, and he would not shut up even when being beaten by Ran Xiaoyu. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She said, "Ye Zheng, what do you know?"
The person in front paused for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and he immediately continued walking forward without saying anything.
Nan Yan asked, "Is it... is it your brother?"
“…”
"You know about the death of your brother Ye Quan, right?"
Ye Zheng still didn't look back. He walked up for a long time and said, "You really do know."
"Ye Zheng."
"I guessed it. You are so close to him, and he tells you all his secrets. If this really happened, there is no way he wouldn't tell you."
“…”
"You know, even you lied to me."
"Ye Zheng, no one lied to you!"
Nan Yan said anxiously: "I don't know how they told you, but the emperor didn't tell you about this because he didn't want to make you sad. He didn't mean to deceive you, let alone use you."
At this time, Ye Zheng paused.
He turned around and sneered at Nan Yan. The flickering firelight in front of him reflected on his face, making it look gloomy and uncertain, as if it would explode at any moment. He said coldly, "I just want you to answer me one question - who killed my brother?"
“…”
Nan Yan's throat suddenly became choked.
Who killed Ye Quan?
Out of selfishness, she hadn't thought about this question, or rather, she had no way of thinking about it. But no matter what, even if it came from Zhu Feng's mouth, he was indeed killed by the young and arrogant Zhu Feng.
Seeing her momentary hesitation, Ye Zheng sneered: "Actually, I shouldn't ask you this question. But, if even you can't answer me, then what is the answer? Do I need to tell you?"
"Ye Zheng..."
"Okay,"
He rudely waved his hand to interrupt Nan Yan's words, turned around and continued walking up: "I don't want to listen to your lies anymore. I've been deceived for so many years, enough is enough!"
Nan Yan wanted to say something, but Tingfu behind her gently pulled her sleeve.
"My Lady, please don't create unnecessary trouble at this time."
For him, entering Xingluo Lake had no other purpose; protecting Nanyan's safety was his ultimate mission. Ye Zheng's sudden appearance at this moment, coupled with this attitude, made them no longer confident in his actions. In this situation, the safest course of action was to avoid contact with this person.
After hearing his words, Nan Yan looked at Ye Zheng's back again.
In the end, I could only nod.
The group continued to walk up along the winding plank roads on the mountain wall. It took them a cup of tea in the darkness and they finally reached the halfway point.
In the pitch-black night, I could vaguely see the shadows of some houses ahead, but outside the houses, there was actually a row of walls.
Nan Yan was surprised.
From the moment I set foot on Tiangang Lianhuanwu, all the houses and towers I saw had no walls, because there were a group of pirates living here, and they naturally didn't want to build walls unless others built walls to defend against them.
But I didn't expect that the houses halfway up the mountain actually had walls.
So, the people here are indeed different from those pirates.
Nan Yan couldn't help but hold her breath.
Ye Zheng seemed to sense it as well. He glanced back at her without saying anything. He led them over and saw several large men standing at the gate. Ye Zheng walked over and said, "Bring the people here."
