Chapter 3034 With God’s Help
Zhu Chengjin looked at her with a smile.
"Finally you found me."
Nan Yan was anxious. She grabbed the fence tightly with both hands and leaned out with most of her body, as if she wanted to see the situation on both sides of the shore clearly. But in fact, even if she could see clearly, it would be useless. She had never walked on this section of waterway before and it was completely unfamiliar to her.
She had no idea where Zhu Chengjin was going to take her.
She turned her head and stared at Zhu Chengjin anxiously: "Where are we going?!"
Zhu Chengjin laughed and said, "Do you really think I will take you to Xiajiang Town?"
“…”
"Indeed, all you care about is his life or death. In my eyes, his life or death is also important, but not as important as another thing."
Nan Yan frowned: "What?"
Zhu Chengjin stared into her eyes and said word by word: "He took it away from me!"
Nan Yan's heart sank.
Zhu Chengjin's face gradually darkened, his eyes glowing red, as if his entire body had been soaked in blood. Even his eyes were filled with a strong bloody smell. He said, "I want to take back everything that was taken away from me!"
“…”
"This is the most important thing!"
“…”
"As for his life or death—he's already dead. What's the point of me going to a small town like Xiajiang to see a corpse that might have already stank?"
“…”
"The only significance is probably that when I get out and retake Jinling City, I will definitely have his body transported there and hung high above the city walls!"
“…”
"I want everyone to see the consequences of betraying me!"
At that moment, Nan Yan felt as if a thunderclap had exploded above her head, shaking her whole body. She gripped the fence with her hand so hard that her nails almost dug into the wood. She looked at Zhu Chengjin and said, "You, you're going to Jinling?!"
Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "You just discovered it."
“…”
"Unfortunately, now that I know, it's too late."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the countless ships in front and behind the big ship. The pirates on them, as well as his men, were all ready to go. They could no longer hold back and were waiting for a bloody battle.
Nan Yan's legs were a little weak, and at this time, Tingfu who was beside her should have supported her.
However, Lian Tingfu froze.
They didn’t expect it, they really didn’t expect it.
After Nan Yan came down from the south and entered Xiajiang Town, she had always planned that the location for the showdown between them and the people in Tiangang Lianhuanwu would be Xingluo Lake. She thought that even if a battle really had to happen, it would definitely take place there.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chengjin had already chosen the location.
His target is Jinling!
He deliberately created such a big fuss here to lure Zhu Feng and himself here, and took advantage of his desire to find out information to lure himself into Xingluo Lake. Then he used himself and Ye Zheng to force Ran Xiaoyu to take action.
But, whether Ran Xiaoyu succeeded or not, it actually doesn’t matter.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said hoarsely, "You, so this time, you are going to take these people to attack Jinling City?"
In order to avoid being completely disadvantaged, she sneered again.
"You think it's that easy?"
You know, even though Zhu Feng had moved the capital, he knew very well that Yan State had a vast territory. After moving the capital to the north, many government orders would only be effective in the north. It would be very difficult to convey them to the south or even implement them.
Therefore, he did not completely give up Jinling.
After leaving here, he still left a team in Jinling City, and even continued to use the Jinling Palace, making Jinling a capital in the south.
The only difference is that there is no emperor in this southern capital.
However, there are all civil officials and military generals here.
There are also garrison troops guarding Jinling. The people Zhu Chengjin took away were just his subordinates and some pirates. In short, they were just a mob!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan felt a little more confident.
She sneered and said, "Don't forget, when the Emperor was fighting the Jingnan Campaign, he used his troops stationed in Peking to march south to attack Nanjing City. It took such a long time. You—?"
Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "So, I won't fight from Peking."
“…”
"From here, I'll take the water route. There won't be anyone blocking our way, and we can just paddle our boat to the outskirts of Jinling City."
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Jinling City is well-fortified and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do you think you can take over Jinling City now with just your few men? Don't dream."
Zhu Chengjin still looked at her with a smile.
Said: "Do you think there are only these few people?"
Nan Yan was stunned.
Zhu Chengjin continued, "Do you think I'll start the fight now?"
Nan Yan's heart sank again, and she subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Zhu Chengjin burst into laughter, his laughter unbridled and unrestrained, like the mad roar of a man finally freed from his cage. He said, "I'm telling you, the day you left Xiajiang Town and boarded the boat for Xingluo Lake, the battle for Jinling City had already begun."
"What?!"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide.
Zhu Chengjin said: "Do you really think that my target is only you?"
“…”
"You are too naive!"
“…”
"I lured you down here, letting you disguise your identities and go on a secret tour so that news from over there wouldn't be able to reach you immediately. Jinling City is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack, but if Jinling City is attacked, it will be difficult for news from there to get out!"
“…”
"Even if they spread the news, you and he are both traveling incognito, and the court officials will have no way of finding you."
“…”
"The news can only be spread northward. Once it reaches Peking, Peking will make arrangements—"
At this point, he looked at Nan Yan with a smug look on his face: "When was that? As the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, why don't you take it into account?"
At this moment, Nan Yan's heart sank.
indeed.
This time, she and Zhu Feng went on a tour incognito, hiding it from everyone. They only brought Li Bushang's men with them. It was really impossible for the court to find them if they wanted to.
If Jinling City was being attacked by his troops at this time, then if he went there now, it would be very likely that—
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's eyes also turned red.
She looked at Zhu Chengjin and suddenly frowned.
Although the Jingnan Campaign seems to have happened in the past, it was actually less than ten years ago.
A few years ago, he was completely powerless against Zhu Feng and could only escape from Jinling City by pretending to be dead; but now, he has suddenly been reborn and has become a hundred times smarter than before.
As if there is "God" help.
