Chapter 3107 Is it worth it?
In Jiangbei, Xu Shifeng should still be the one defending Yangzhou. If Zhu Chengjin wants to attack him, the best way is to let him see that Si Nanyan, the imperial concubine, is in the enemy camp.
Such clothes, such colors.
It was hard for Xu Shifeng not to see it.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but sneer.
This person is very good at everything, especially when it comes to torturing people. He is an expert at all kinds of things.
The reason why Xu Shifeng was able to hold on until now and even led his troops across the river twice was his passion and loyalty. This kind of loyalty was not learned by civil officials through reading, but was fought with Zhu Feng in the bitter cold of Peking over the past ten or twenty years.
And because of Empress Renxiao and the Crown Prince, he also has a good relationship with Nan Yan.
If he saw himself being captured by Zhu Chengjin during this battle, it would definitely be a huge blow to him and even to the morale of the entire army.
Thinking of this person's sinister intentions, Nan Yan couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
At this time, someone came outside to pick her up.
Duo'er stepped forward to straighten her messy clothes and was about to follow her out. As they were about to step out of the gate of Yikun Palace, Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to go with me today."
Duoer opened her eyes wide.
Although she was a slave, she was aware of the events outside. She knew that the imperial concubine had changed her clothes and was going to follow Zhu Chengjin across the river. Although there was a lot of fanfare here, it was still a battle after all. In a war, a small figure like her was often just a few blood-red spots drifting in the wind, meaningless to others.
After all, people are afraid of death.
So, she was actually very scared in her heart, but Zhu Chengjin asked her to serve the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, so naturally she had to follow wherever the imperial concubine went. For this reason, she had been uneasy, but she did not expect that the imperial concubine would be so merciful as to let her not go.
Duo'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Nan Yan: "My Lady, is this possible?"
Nan Yan said coldly, "Zhu Chengjin asked you to come here to serve me. Now I order you to stay in Yikun Palace. Will you obey?"
This is naturally what Duoer wants.
She nodded hastily.
Nan Yan glanced at her. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was natural for her to be afraid of death and timid. So she said, "Go and take good care of Tingfu. Don't refuse to serve him tea or water. No matter what happens outside, you just need to guard Yikun Palace."
“…”
"I still say the same thing. If you do it well, you will be able to gain favor with Zhu Chengjin or me."
Duo'er nodded timidly: "This servant... understands."
So, Nan Yan waved her hand and retreated into the Yiku Palace.
Although the people around her were sent by Zhu Chengjin to pick her up, they would not interfere with the people around her, so they did not say much, and protected Nan Yan as they walked out, passed the Wuying Palace, and went directly to the Nangong Gate.
Several carriages were parked here.
Zhu Chengjin was standing there with several of his men, including Lu Guangwei, Guo Mi and others. Nan Yan saw a haggard figure from afar. She was wearing a thin long gown. When the wind blew, her sleeves fluttered, and her body was almost invisible, which showed how thin she was.
It was none other than the dragonfly that had left her.
Zhu Chengjin and the others were just about to wait for the bus or get on their horses when they saw Nan Yan coming over. Zhu Chengjin smiled at first, but then frowned: "Where are the people around you?"
Nan Yan said calmly, "It's fine for me to follow him. Having people around me is just making me a target for Jiang Bei. If we can save one life, then we'll save one life."
Zhu Chengjin sneered: "You seem to have a lot of confidence in Xu Shifeng."
“…”
"Unfortunately, he has already lost two games in a row."
Nan Yan sneered and said, "A truly good general isn't one who always wins, but one who fights constantly and never admits defeat easily. Xu Shifeng was able to hold onto Beiping City for so many years. After the Emperor went south to Nanjing City, even the troops of the Neng Kingdom couldn't do anything to him. Do you really think he would be afraid of a mere mob like you?"
If she had said these words at any other time, it would just be sharp words to annoy Zhu Chengjin.
But now is the time for everyone to go out to fight.
Saying such words is a bad omen, or even more like a curse.
The generals around all had angry expressions on their faces. If Zhu Chengjin had not been here and had not warned them not to touch the imperial concubine, they would have torn her to pieces long ago.
But even so, Zhu Chengjin's face darkened when he heard this.
He glared at Nan Yan and said coldly, "You'd better watch Jiangbei's defeat and us take over Yangzhou City later. You can still be so sharp-tongued."
After saying that, he deliberately gave another sinister laugh and said, "There aren't that many carriages here. You two should sit together."
After hearing this, Nan Yan subconsciously looked around and saw Qingting looking at her.
The two men looked at each other, said nothing, and immediately turned their eyes away.
He clearly knew that Dragonfly had "betrayed" him, but he still made such arrangements. Obviously, he was using this method to torture people again.
Nan Yan didn't say much, she walked straight over and was about to get on the carriage. However, she didn't have anyone with her, and just as she was about to get on, she stepped on empty air and almost fell down.
Dragonfly, who was standing behind her, subconsciously helped her.
But immediately, as if she was scalded, Qingting immediately shook off her hand. Nan Yan almost fell off the car. Someone next to her suddenly reached out and supported her.
When I turned around, it was Ye Zheng.
He glanced at Nan Yan coldly, but one of his arms was strong enough to protect her and help her get into the carriage. Then he withdrew his hand and was about to walk to the back.
Nan Yan frowned: "Are you going too?"
Ye Zheng turned his back to her and didn't even look back: "What else?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is she?"
"Still in the palace."
"You're not taking her with you?"
“…She’s not mine.”
Zhu Chengjin had already boarded the carriage. When he saw Ye Zheng coming over to help Nan Yan, his face darkened slightly. But after hearing this conversation, he sneered again and got directly into the carriage.
Ye Zheng said nothing more and turned away.
Nan Yan then entered the carriage. After a while, Qingting also climbed up with great difficulty. She was not only very thin, but also very weak. She grabbed the door frame several times but failed to climb up. She refused the people around her who wanted to help her. After finally entering the carriage, she was panting heavily and curled up in the corner.
Nan Yan looked at the part of her wrist that was accidentally exposed.
As thin as a piece of firewood.
There were even bruises on it that hadn't faded yet, obviously left after being tied up with something.
Nan Yan looked at her and asked, "Is it worth it?"
