Chapter 3105: Waves Rising
"If he saw that the Imperial Concubine they longed for was in my hands, would he still be able to fight?"
Hearing this, Ge Long's eyes lit up.
The so-called killing is to destroy the heart. For a man like Xu Shifeng who claims to be a loyal minister and brave general, he can fight until the last drop of blood is shed in his body, but the premise is loyalty to the emperor. If he sees that the imperial concubine Si Nanyan is in Zhu Chengjin's hands, it will be a great blow to him.
If he knew that Zhu Feng had been killed by Ran Xiaoyu—
Thinking of this, Ge Long nodded and said, "I understand. I will go down and prepare now."
Zhu Chengjin waved his hand and turned to leave Wuying Hall.
After everyone left, Zhu Chengjin was the only one left in the huge Wuying Hall. Although he was alone here most of the time, as lonely as if he was guarding an empty world alone, he would constantly call Nan Yan to come and have meals with him, even if every word she said was contrary to him.
But now, he is alone.
Maybe it was because he had stayed in the mourning hall for a whole night and brought back the biting coldness from there, but at this moment, Zhu Chengjin inexplicably felt that the Wuying Hall had also become a little cold. It was clearly summer and his clothes were not thin, but he couldn't help but shiver slightly.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
He covered his mouth and coughed several times. The sound was very familiar.
Just like, just like when Xu Shizong was still by his side, he always covered his mouth and coughed lightly like this. Every time he saw Xu Shizong like this, he couldn't help but frown, wondering if this sickly and weak guy could win half of the country for him as he said, or even the entire Yan Kingdom.
Now it seems that he has at least achieved half of it and established half of the empire for himself.
Unfortunately, he could only do half of it because he was already dead.
He didn't know if it was because he was unwilling to give in, or because he was unwilling to give in, but the coughing sound was like the one left on him by Xu Shizong. Zhu Chengjin felt his throat was very itchy and his chest was stuffy. He wanted to cough sharply, but he tried his best to suppress it. In the end, he couldn't suppress it anymore and started coughing hard.
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."
The sound of coughing echoed in Wuying Hall, making Zhu Chengjin more and more irritated. His cheeks turned red from coughing, and even his eyes were red. He lay down on the bed and covered his head with the quilt, as if he wanted to cover up the sound of coughing with the quilt.
At this time, there was a faint breeze blowing outside, passing over the calm river surface, and waves gradually rose.

The day passed quickly.
Nan Yan was quite calm when she learned that Zhu Chengjin would take her with him. However, when Jiang Dahe and Duoer were talking privately, Tingfu heard them and the boy became so anxious that his eyes turned red and he insisted on going with Nan Yan.
Nan Yan arrived at his room and saw him holding onto the bedpost, trying to get out of bed in a hurry.
Jiang Dahe and Duo'er on the side tried to stop him. Duo'er even said, "Listen, Brother Fu, you can't even get out of bed in your current state."
“Woo woo!”
Tingfu's movement caused him to gasp for breath in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head, insisting on getting out of bed.
Seeing that the two people couldn't stop him, Tingfu almost rolled off the bed. Nan Yan stood at the door and said in a deep voice: "Tingfu, don't move!"
As soon as he heard his voice, Tingfu stopped immediately.
Jiang Dahe and Duoer also hurried over to salute her.
Nan Yan said calmly, "All of you go out. I have something to say to him."
The two did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly turned around and walked out. Nan Yan then walked over and held Tingfu's arm and forced him back onto the bed. But Tingfu's eyes were red, and although he could not speak, he was still anxiously shouting "Ahhh" to Nan Yan.
Nan Yan also knew that he was anxious, and seeing him like this, her heart ached even more.
She reached out and patted Tingfu's shoulder, saying gently but firmly, "I know what you're worried about, but this matter is not negotiable, and no one will discuss it with us. Zhu Chengjin wants to take me there. It was just a word, but to them, it was an order. I'm in his hands now, so it's impossible for me to refuse to go."
Tingfu's eyes became even redder.
He couldn't speak or write, so he could only anxiously grab Nan Yan's sleeve and shake it: "Ah, ah ...
Nan Yan listened to his tone and guessed, "You want to be with me?"
“Yeah!”
"no."
"Ahhhh?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Look at you just now. You couldn't even get out of bed. You have two broken ribs. It takes a hundred days to heal the broken bones. That's what the doctor said, not me."
"ah!"
"Besides, you should also understand that it is so difficult for you to even move now. If you really want to follow me and Zhu Chengjin and go aboard to watch them fight, I'm afraid you will get into trouble before they even get halfway through."
“…”
"By then, do you want me to be distracted by you?"
Hearing Nan Yan emphasize the word "distraction", Tingfu looked up at her and didn't say anything for a while.
Seeing how clever he was, Nan Yan smiled, then reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder, pressing it firmly. She said seriously, "When you need me, I will naturally use you. But now, since you are not needed, you should stay here and recuperate. When you are well, come back to serve me."
“…”
"If you try to get ahead before your injuries are healed, it will only make the situation worse for me. Do you understand?"
Tingfu was insightful after all, and he was indeed thinking about Nanyan.
After thinking seriously for a while, he nodded to Nan Yan: "Yeah."
Nan Yan smiled.
"Okay, stay here and recuperate. I'll let Jiang Dahe stay here to take care of you."
"Um."
Seeing Nan Yan stand up and walk out, Tingfu was eager to tell her to be careful, but before he could open his mouth, Nan Yan stopped, looked back at him, and said, "This battle is very important for both Jinling City and Yangzhou City. Tingfu, remember, no matter what happens, you only need to do one thing well, and that is to heal your injuries."
“…”
"What happens outside has nothing to do with you. Just stay in this Yikun Palace and don't take a single step out. Do you understand?"
Tingfu looked at her and nodded obediently.
Nan Yan walked out and saw Jiang Dahe and Duo'er still standing in the yard. She knew without a second thought that they must have heard what she had just said. She was not angry, but only instructed, "Jiang Dahe, Zhu Chengjin asked you to come here to serve me. I want you to take good care of Tingfu. If you do that, you will please him and me as well. You are not a fool. You should understand what I say."
