Chapter 3041
She had walked through this place more than once before, but she had never felt that this staircase was so long and so difficult to walk on.
When I finally walked up the last step, I saw that all the doors of the hall in front were open.
Both sides of the hall were filled with their men, holding torches in their hands, illuminating the entire hall inside and out as if it were daytime. Nan Yan saw at a glance that there was another person inside the hall.
There is only one person.
It seems that the others were not only avoiding it but also not qualified to enter the hall. However, the only one who walked in actually stood in the hall, next to the dragon throne.
Upon seeing this scene, before Nan Yan could say anything, Zhu Chengjin's face suddenly darkened.
He quickened his pace and rushed in in a few steps.
Nan Yan naturally followed closely and stepped over the high threshold and walked in.
As soon as she walked in, she felt that it was very quiet inside. It was just separated by a wall, as if all the war outside was isolated. But then, Nan Yan felt an indescribable pressure.
This feeling is usually only felt by people who are very capable, or who are extremely confident and powerful.
Even when she was with Zhu Chengjin, she never felt it.
But now, the moment she walked into the hall, she felt her breathing was suppressed and her heartbeat sank. This pressure came from the person standing in the hall, next to the dragon throne.
In other words, Zhu Chengjin’s military advisor?
But when he looked up, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
Nan Yan's guess about a "powerful" person was rather vulgar. She would imagine this person to be tall and mighty, just like Zhu Feng. Even if she just stood behind him and saw his broad shoulders, she would feel at ease. So along the way, when she imagined this military advisor, a tall figure was engraved in her mind.
Or, is it Heyi, or Jian Ruocheng?
They are all tall, graceful and handsome men.
This person is also very tall, but he is not tall at all. Even when he stands in the hall, he does not give people a feeling of superiority. On the contrary, this person is only wearing a casual green robe and a white scarf, which makes him look weak and frail. One hand is even on the dragon throne, giving people the illusion that he will be blown away by a gust of wind.
Of course it's an illusion.
If a gust of wind could blow this man away, how could he possibly capture Jinling City in such a short time?
Now, how could he possibly stand so high and mighty in the hall, beside the dragon throne?!
Nan Yan's brows were twisted into a knot, and she stared at the man's back.
Who is he?
At this moment, this person seemed to feel her gaze, or perhaps, felt the murderous aura from Zhu Chengjin who rushed into the hall from outside. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice.
When Nan Yan heard the cough, she suddenly shuddered and opened her eyes wide.
This voice is——
Before she could picture this person in her mind, Zhu Chengjin, who was walking in front of her, had already said coldly with a gloomy face: "What are you doing standing there?!"
Hearing this, the man who was covering his mouth and coughing lightly slowly turned around.
A pale, sickly face came into view.
Nan Yan gasped.
"Xu Shizong?!"
