Chapter 2670 Zhu Feng Wants to Declare War on Bailong City
Nan Yan subconsciously held her breath, as if she was afraid that her breathing would be a little louder and would scare the ghost.
She whispered, "Is the other party coming for Li Bushang?"
Zhu Feng shook his head: "That may not be the case."
"ah?"
"That knife could have belonged to anyone in the Jinyiwei, and Li Bushang's departure from the team was his own action."
“…”
"The other party came prepared. Their intention wasn't to kill Li Bushang, but simply to surrender the city. Not only did they want to completely destroy the surrender plan, but they also wanted to create a complete feud between Bailong City and me."
"Hate?"
These two words made Nan Yan's heart sink again: "How do you say that?"
Zhu Feng said, "If the Jinyiwei can't find the murderer of the Cheng family's patriarch, then Li Bushan will have to bear the blame for this murder."
“…”
"And Li is not injured, he is my man."
“…”
"If the dignified commander of the Jinyiwei of the Great Yan Dynasty was killed by the people of Bailong City, do you think I could spare them?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
That’s true.
Regardless of Zhu Feng's attitude towards Li Bu Shang, and the fact that Li Bu Shang was picked up by him, just for the sake of the emperor's face, he cannot allow others to harm his subjects, otherwise, the dignity of the entire Yan Kingdom will be destroyed.
So by then, it won’t be Arslan who will declare war on Bailong City.
But Zhu Feng is going to declare war on Bailong City.
Nan Yan said, "So, the person who planned this must have had a very evil mind."
Zhu Feng said: "Yes."
“…”
"Being able to sabotage the surrender of a city by killing those who disagree with it is not something that everyone can imagine, let alone dare to do."
Nan Yan's breathing became heavier.
She asked, "Who is this person?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment and turned to look at her.
With a hint of smile in his eyes, he said, "I am so far away from them, how could I know?"
"That……"
"It's just a matter of judging based on how things develop."
"Well……"
That's true. Zhu Feng had obviously been staying in the Commandant's Mansion the entire time. He had only just learned the news and hadn't even met these people yet. How could he have made such a conclusion based on reports from people and a letter?
I'm really confused.
Nan Yan also smiled, picked up the teacup, walked over, handed it to him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please have another sip of tea to moisten your lips. They are dry."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng reached out and touched it, and sure enough, the weather in the northwest was dry, and his lips were a little chapped.
He took the teacup and took two sips.
When he turned around, Nan Yan was also looking outside like him, but it was obvious that she was not looking at the scenery outside, but was worried about the people and things in the distance.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, do you think Li Bushan can solve this problem?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "If it can't be resolved, then the commander of the Jinyiwei should be replaced."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned when she heard this, but she immediately recalled that this was exactly what Zhu Feng had answered her before. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were in the eyes of the person involved, for the superior, there were only two results: success or failure.
What they want is not an explanation or a detailed description of how difficult it is.
All they need is for you to succeed.
Having too many excuses is another way of saying incompetence.
Nan Yan only whispered, "I also know that letting him go is naturally to let him solve these problems. However, since the other party has planned so carefully and has such a vicious mind, how can he break this situation?"
Zhu Feng held the teacup in one hand and looked down at the tea rippling slightly in the cup.
Smiling, he looked at Nan Yan and said, "If it were you, how would you want to solve it?"
"ah?"
Facing Nan Yan's somewhat stunned eyes, Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Let me ask you, if you were in Li Bushang's position right now, and a murder case happened, with no one to be found, how would you handle it?"
Nan Yan immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty is making things difficult for me, isn't he?"
“…”
"The Emperor himself said that from such a distance, it's impossible for him to know who the real murderer is, so how could he ask me?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I'm right that I don't know who the real culprit is, but how to deal with the current situation doesn't necessarily require me to be there myself. You've read the letter and know the current situation. What do you think Li Bushan should do next?"
As he spoke, he leisurely walked back to the table, sat down and said, "You've been studying with me for so long these past few days, so I think you should have made some progress."
“…”
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan's eyes became serious.
She also walked back, thinking seriously about the people and relationships that Li Bushang had written in the letter, as well as the current situation.
After thinking for a while, she murmured: "The real murderer..."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Why, do you want to find the real culprit?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said seriously, "The Emperor just said that there's a 'ghost' around Bu Shang. This person is very good at hiding their identity, and even when they're right next to someone, it's difficult to detect. Moreover, judging by what's written in the letter, everyone involved in this murder case is a witness against each other. Even that young master Murong, although he's the most suspected, has no evidence. The evidence we've found points to Li Bu Shang."
“…”
"So I think that if we investigate the real culprit at this time, we will only end up getting stuck in a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate ourselves."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Although he didn't say anything immediately, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"If we don't investigate the real culprit, then what do you think we should investigate?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "Benefits."
"Benefit……?"
"good,"
She said seriously, "When normal people do things, if it's not for grudges or hatred, then there is only one reason, and that is profit."
“…”
"Killing someone to gain benefits, or to avoid losing benefits."
“…”
"It depends on who has a vested interest in this person's death, or in this matter."
“…”
"Just like the Emperor's previous handling of the White Dragon City incident, what he did on the surface had nothing to do with retaking the city, but the causal effect of several events ultimately led the people of White Dragon City to prepare to surrender the city."
“…”
"I think there may be such an intertwined interest behind this matter."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her for a while.
Nan Yan looked up and met his eyes: "What?"
Zhu Feng just smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm not that stupid."
"snort!"
Nan Yan rolled her eyes at him and was about to turn around and ignore him, but when she turned around, she saw another thing on the table. She immediately remembered it, hurried over to pick it up, and put it in front of Zhu Feng.
"Your Majesty, Li Bushan had someone bring back this, in addition to the letter."
"Um?"
When Zhu Feng saw the handkerchief, his brows furrowed.
