Chapter 3028: We have to wait for only two days
"Now that the old ghost's son is here, it's just right. Why don't we fight to the death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the men behind him started shouting in an intimidating manner.
Seeing them like this, Luo Xingwen sat calmly in his chair, thinking quietly for a long time, and then said, "Let me think about it again."
After saying that, he looked down again.
Fu Zhiqiu's eyes were gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking. Li Chen and Fang Zhen were still angry, and they and their men were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush out and have a bloody battle immediately. Shi Tianlu, on the other hand, just sat there quietly, without saying a word.
Luo Xingwen sighed softly and said, "Tianlu, I'm not feeling well. Please walk with me."
Shi Tianlu stood up: "Okay."
So, the two white-haired old men walked out together. Fang Zhen and the others wanted to say something, but no one listened. He turned back to look at Fu Zhiqiu with lingering anger, but Fu Zhiqiu just looked at the backs of the two people gradually going away outside, with a faint cold light flashing in his eyes.

Nan Yan followed the girls along the plank road for half a day. When they reached the middle of the mountain again, they were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.
She panted slightly and asked, "Why did your master ask me to come back?"
The girls said to her, "The young master only asked us to bring the imperial concubine back. It's nothing serious. If the imperial concubine has nothing to do, she can go back to her room and rest."
After saying that, he bowed to her and turned to leave.
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Of course, she had no doubt that these people didn't need to watch her at all because there was no need to worry about her escaping. After all, even a man with good skills like Tingfu couldn't get out, so it was naturally impossible for her to leave this place. She just felt more clear-headed.
Zhu Chengjin and Luo Xingwen.
She was indeed very surprised that these two forces would come together - but come to think of it, it was not surprising. After Zhu Chengjin was driven out of Jinling by Zhu Feng, he had to find a place to settle down. However, all under heaven belongs to the king. If he wanted to escape the pursuit of the court, he had to find a place that was not "the king's land". Xingluo Lake was really the best choice.
But now it seems that one is halfway up the mountain and the other is at the bottom.
Moreover, although the two forces seem to be cooperating, it is obvious that the two sides have not completely merged together. This can be seen from where they live, their living habits, and even the people they employ.
After all, Zhu Chengjin was an emperor and it was impossible for him to look down on these pirates. He came here because he had no other choice.
And Luo Xingwen...
He was the one who had fought with Emperor Gao for the throne. Although his attitude towards the Zhu family could not be seen on the surface, at least among his four elders, Li Chen and Fang Zhen had a clear attitude and would never compromise.
So, what is their purpose in cooperating with Zhu Chengjin?
Just to deal with Zhu Feng?
But even if they overthrew Zhu Feng, there was still Zhu Chengjin, who was still a member of the Zhu family. His coming and going was just making things easier for others.
With Luo Xingwen's scheming and cunning, he shouldn't be unable to see this.
What does he want?
Nan Yan's heart was full of doubts. She walked back while thinking. Although she had only walked there and back once, she had already recognized the road. As soon as she walked back to the gate of the yard, she saw a person walking out.
"Ye Zheng!"
As soon as she saw him, Nan Yan's eyes lit up and she immediately walked forward quickly: "Ye Zheng!"
Ye Zheng's face was gloomy. When he saw her coming, he turned around and left without saying a word. Nan Yan chased him for a few steps but failed to catch up with him.
In the room behind him, the sound of Tingfu gritting his teeth and enduring pain could be heard.
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, but had to turn around and walk back to the house. She saw Tingfu sitting on a small stool, blowing air on his wrist. The big man had tied him up with a hemp rope before, and his wrist had been rubbed raw. He was also dragged all the way back, and his body was covered with bruises. Although they were not serious injuries, he had suffered a lot.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "You're injured. Does it hurt?"
When Tingfu saw her, he immediately stood up: "My Lady..."
His eyes were red as he lowered his head: "It's useless, slave."
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it on her face. She quickly pressed his shoulders and made him sit back down, saying softly, "This time, I am also making things difficult for you. This damn place, even the imperial army can't enter, how can you possibly get out by yourself?"
"But--"
Tingfu was filled with remorse and gritted his teeth, saying, "If we can't send the news back, what should we do with the emperor?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, my injuries are minor. If the Emperor... I will be held responsible for his death."
After he said this, Nan Yan felt even more uncomfortable.
Although she was able to talk freely in front of Luo Xingwen and the four elders just now, she actually knew that all of this confidence was only possible because Zhu Feng was still there.
If Zhu Feng really——
She didn't know how her heart would be broken, and as for her self-confidence that she pretended to be calm, it was probably turned to dust long ago.
But, no matter what, things haven't come to that point yet!
She took a deep breath and said, "If you can't go back, then you can't go back. The emperor is a lucky man. I believe he will be able to escape this disaster."
When she said this, her voice seemed to tremble a little, and she was not confident in herself. She lowered her head and said, "I will help you treat your wound."
After saying that, he turned around and looked around. The room was indeed decorated carefully, but he was afraid that there was no medicine for injuries or anything like that.
At this moment, a girl in white came in holding a tray with a bottle of medicine and a roll of bandages on it. She said to Nan Yan, "Your Highness, please use this."
Nan Yan hurried over to take it.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Who asked you to bring it here? Was it your young master?"
The girl's eyes were confused for a moment, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Nan Yan looked at her back, thought for a moment, and walked back to Ting Fu's side. She personally got some clean water to help him clean the wound, then applied medicine and bandaged it. While doing this, she asked, "Did you see Ye Zheng just now?"
"Ye Zheng? I didn't see him. Is he coming?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
After the wound was healed, Tingfu looked at his heavily wrapped wrist and looked at Nan Yan worriedly: "Empress, what should we do now? Is it really true that we can only wait here for news?"
Nan Yan looked up and glanced outside.
He murmured, "If we have to wait, we only have these two days."
