Chapter 3094 I didn’t see it, so I asked you
"But if you want to go and accompany him, that day will never come."
“…”
Nan Yan's outstretched hand froze for a moment, and then she watched those people pick up the unconscious Tingfu from the ground, as if they were picking up a soft cloth bag. Because the movement touched the injured area, even though he had fainted, Tingfu let out an unbearable low cry.
Nan Yan immediately said, "His ribs are broken. If you want him to speak, at least don't let him die."
“…”
"Now that he's dead, there's no need for you to do anything here."
Although Zhu Chengjin had long since disregarded them, he still felt this was a fairy tale. He sneered, "What are you talking about? Such a lowly servant, and yet you're still willing to risk your life for him?"
Nan Yan said coldly: "I have never sought death or life."
“…”
"But, he is not some lowly slave."
“…”
"This time, he followed me through thick and thin. I have the responsibility to protect him!"
Zhu Chengjin's eyes seemed to be filled with frost.
He had seen too many relationships between people. They all came for profit and went for profit. Even those civil and military officials who had sworn to be loyal to him in the past, in the end, they just spinelessly joined Zhu Feng's army. Even now, most of those who opposed him were these people.
What loyalty and righteousness is there left?
Now, seeing a lowly slave, a little eunuch actually acting loyal and righteous, and this self-important "imperial concubine of the current dynasty" even condescending to protect him, made Zhu Chengjin feel even more irritated.
Why can they get what I don’t have?
Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "I'd like to see what this person you want to protect can do for you."
So he just waved his hand, and several guards took Tingfu away carefully.
At this time, it was getting darker outside.
However, the news has spread. Although the people around Zhu Chengjin did not give Xu Shizong much face, they knew in their hearts that he was an important think tank. Without him, they would not have achieved the results they have today.
Now that he is dead, many people are still unsure about what to do in the future.
Guo Mi stepped forward and asked softly, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Zhu Chengjin frowned slightly and looked back at the body of Xu Shizong on the bed. His pale face was almost the same as when he was alive. This man was really terminally ill, dragging his heavy body up and down for him. However, Zhu Chengjin could not trust anyone, especially Xu Shizong, who was too smart - too smart. Such a person is like a sharp knife, not only difficult to use for a long time, but also easy to hurt himself if used for a long time.
So, when he knew that Si Nanyan had poisoned him, he did not stop it immediately.
Because he knew that Si Nanyan couldn't kill Xu Shizong with one blow, nor did she dare to. She could only destroy Xu Shizong's body bit by bit. In fact, Xu Shizong's body was getting weaker and weaker, but he himself didn't notice it. He just thought that he was terminally ill and no medicine could cure him.
Zhu Chengjin was actually happy to see it happen.
But, it was still too fast after all.
Although Xu Shizong gave the next steps, it was still a thorny issue as to which of the three strategies was the best.
Zhu Chengjin thought for a moment and said coldly, "Pass the order down. Everyone should keep vigil for the military advisor and fast and eat vegetarian food."
Everyone immediately said, "Yes."
The people below moved quickly and started to get busy immediately.
Zhu Chengjin did not leave immediately. He sat on a chair beside the bed, looking at Xu Shizong's gray face, and seemed to feel a little relieved. After all, people like Xu Shizong were the most taboo for a monarch. Now that he had achieved his desired goal and the person who might pose a threat was gone, it should be a blessing in disguise.
However, there was also an indescribable sadness in his heart.
This complex intertwined emotion made him a little irritated for a while, especially when the people below brought white cloth to Lezhizhai to decorate the mourning hall. The busyness was annoying to watch.
Zhu Chengjin then stood up and said, "Take good care of the military advisor's funeral. It must be dignified and grand, so that everyone can see it."
"yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
He took two steps, then stopped again, looking back at Nan Yan walking to Xu Shizong's bedside, looking down at the corpse on the bed, he said coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Nan Yan didn't even turn around and just said, "I think I'll stay for a while."
Zhu Chengjin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You did it, and now you can't bear it anymore?"
Nan Yan ignored him and continued to look down at Xu Shizong. Zhu Chengjin looked at her for a while, and seeing that she really had no intention of leaving, he coldly ordered: "Watch her, and let her go back to Yikun Palace after a while."
Ge Long left behind a few people who all said, "Yes."
Then, Zhu Chengjin walked out without looking back.
At this time, it was already past midnight.
The pitch-black night outside was like a black curtain. Suddenly walking out of the brightly lit Lezhizhai, facing such a dark night, one suddenly felt a little dazed, and Zhu Chengjin even stopped for a moment.
The darkness before his eyes made him feel as if he didn't know where to go.
Lu Guangwei behind him said, "Sir, what's wrong?"
“…”
Zhu Chengjin was silent for a moment before he said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Lu Guangwei and a few others followed behind him, and they originally thought that he would say something or ask something, but Zhu Chengjin did not speak a word along the way. In the huge imperial garden, only the sound of people's footsteps could be heard.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally walked back to the Wuying Palace.
Just as Zhu Chengjin was about to go in, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Ye Zheng, and said, "If it were you, what would you do next?"
“…”
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised that Zhu Chengjin would suddenly ask him this question.
He said, "I didn't see the military advisor's secret bag."
Zhu Chengjin said: "I didn't see it, so I asked you."
“…”
"You've been with my uncle for so many years. If you were to, or if you knew him better, what would you do next?"
“…”
The eyes of the people around became sharp, and they all stabbed at Ye Zheng's body like swords.
Ye Zheng was silent for a while.
Then he slowly said, "Young Master, you have just taken over Jinling City. Your foundation is unstable. If you attack rashly, you will easily lose your way."
Zhu Chengjin didn't say anything, but in the darkness, his brows were slowly furrowing.
Ye Zheng said: "If it were me or him, we would both choose to stay in Nanjing and stabilize the south."
