Chapter 3092 Now, I want to break you more and more
"We will hold on to Nanjing, recapture the prefectures south of the Yangtze River, and rule over the country by dividing the river with the imperial court, thus becoming the Southern Dynasty."
The court divided the river and ruled separately, and was called the Southern Dynasty...
As soon as he saw these words, Zhu Chengjin frowned and couldn't help but sneer. He crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it back into the embroidery bag without hesitation.
If we talk about the early years when he didn't even have a place to live, he naturally would not have thought of competing with his powerful uncle and dividing the river to rule. At that time, he was only filled with malice that almost broke his flesh, and he just wanted to cause trouble for Zhu Feng, make him uncomfortable and make him miserable.
Later, with the assistance of Xu Shizong, a group of forces gradually gathered around him, and even after he established connections with the people of Xingluo Lake, his ambition expanded a lot compared to before. He did think about taking back Jinling City, returning to his own Jinling Palace, and re-establishing his own dynasty here. As long as he could rely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, he could divide the river with Zhu Fengdu's forces and rule the country, and become the king in the south.
But now, they have obtained Jinling City.
People are like this, it is their nature to want more after getting something. Now Zhu Chengjin's ambition is so great that even the small city of Jinling cannot contain it.
Jinling City is the capital of Jiangnan. Now that we have recaptured Jinling City, we should naturally look forward to the future.
Anyway, Zhu Feng is already dead.
And Xu Shifeng, who was loyal to him, although he was a good fighter - as Xu Shizong said, if he wanted to go north again in the future, he would indeed be a huge threat to Zhu Chengjin. Now, thinking back on his previous actions, Zhu Chengjin also felt a little regretful.
But it doesn't matter.
Xu Shifeng was stabbed by Ran Xiaoyu during the battle. He will not be able to recover in a short period of time and will not be able to fight again. At this time, as long as they can cross the river and conquer the enemy all the way up the river, then taking over the city of Beiping will be just around the corner.
In this way——
Zhu Chengjin looked at the purple-red embroidered bag in his hand and couldn't help but sneer.
This strategy is totally useless.
If Xu Shizong had presented this plan to him two days ago, he would not have even looked at it and would have thrown it out of his mind. But at this moment, when he looked up and saw Xu Shizong lying on the bed, already dead, and then looked down at the three embroidered bags in his hands, Zhu Chengjin's thoughts could not help but turn a circle.
This should be the strategy that Xu Shizong left behind before his death.
Xu Shizong's ability was obvious to all, and Zhu Chengjin had no doubt that without him, even if he had received help from the people of Xingluo Lake, he might not have been able to kill Zhu Feng so easily and capture Jinling City. Therefore, he could not completely deny the strategy he proposed.
What's more, he really needs to know what to do next.
However, these three tips——
Which one should he do next?
What exactly did Xu Shizong mean by leaving behind these three brocade bags?
Thinking of this, he looked up again and found that there were only a few people in the entire Lezhizhai. According to Lu Guangwei and Guo Mi, only Si Nanyan, Tingfu, and Xiaoman were by Xu Shizong's side before his death. Now, Xiaoman had been killed by Tingfu.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chengjin smiled coldly, walked to a chair beside and sat down, then said to Nan Yan: "Tell me."
Nan Yan was originally kneeling in the corner, wiping the blood from Tingfu's mouth and nose with a handkerchief in her hand.
When I heard him speak, I looked up at him.
Then he said calmly: "What?"
Zhu Chengjin sneered and said, "While I still have patience, let's talk nicely. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind breaking a few more bones for that person on the ground."
“……!”
Nan Yan frowned.
"As for you—"
Zhu Chengjin touched his chin with interest as he watched her kneeling there, her whole body curled up. To be honest, Zhu Chengjin liked girls with petite figures, slender wrists, and fair skin. Girls like this looked the most fragile and easily broken, and he liked to break such delicate people.
Even though Si Nanyan is already quite old and has already served Zhu Feng, it doesn’t matter.
Thinking that she was once his woman and later followed his uncle, Zhu Chengjin even felt that breaking her up might be a more interesting thing.
So he laughed coldly and said, "You know very well in your heart that I will not kill you."
“…”
"But sometimes, I don't have to kill someone to get something out of him. I have many ways to make stones speak."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned, and an expression of disgust could not be suppressed on her face.
However, she still took a deep breath, slowly stood up with the help of the wall, walked to Zhu Chengjin, lowered her eyes to glance at the brocade bags in his hands, and said coldly: "You have already seen the contents here, what else do you want to ask?"
Zhu Chengjin said, "I have seen the things, but now, I want to know why you came and what you are doing here?"
Nan Yan sneered: "Why am I here? Two people have already died here, why do you think I'm here?"
Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes: "Just to kill them?"
Nan Yan said, "Xiao Man was killed by Ting Fu at my command. Your people have already witnessed it. As for Xu Shizong—if I kill him with just a few words, then that counts as killing him. Then, let it be considered that I killed him."
"You, pissed him off to death?"
"Speaking of which, from the moment I was brought to your side to the moment I entered Jinling City, knowing that everything before was done by Xu Shizong helping you, then you shouldn't be surprised by this. In fact, if there's an opportunity in the future, this scene will happen to you too, as long as you give me the chance."
Zhu Chengjin burst into laughter.
After laughing, his face suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "Then, how did you manage to piss him off to death with just a few words?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's very simple. Let him know that I have been poisoning him. I also need to let him know that the person he assists, after knowing that I have poisoned him, remained indifferent and didn't even mention a word to him."
Zhu Chengjin's expression changed.
Not only him, but also Lu Guangwei and Guo Mi next to him changed their expressions.
Poisoning? !
They looked at Nan Yan in astonishment, while Zhu Chengjin frowned and said coldly, "How do you know? I know."
Nan Yan sneered, "Qingting is someone I rescued. In your eyes, she's my own. Given your temperament and caution, you wouldn't easily let someone like her get close to you, let alone on such a close level. She must have betrayed me something as a token of her loyalty if she got close to you."
“…”
"And this is probably all she knows."
Zhu Chengjin looked at her gravely for a long time, then sneered again: "I am increasingly eager to break you now."
