Chapter 3032 It’s not important here anymore
"Your divisive tactics are not good enough for me."
“…”
Nan Yan's face froze for a moment.
She had been with Zhu Feng for such a long time, and she didn't even believe that he knew nothing about military affairs; but as a woman, it was impossible for her to actually go into battle to kill the enemy or inspect the troops on the battlefield. All she could do was to use her expertise as a woman.
Women are meticulous, and having lived in the palace for so many years, she is very good at observing people's words and expressions.
What she is best at is creating conflicts within the enemy and eliminating the crisis in front of her with little effort.
That is to say, alienation.
But what she didn't expect was that Luo Xingwen saw through her little thoughts at a glance.
Seeing Nan Yan's expression change, Luo Xingwen's wrinkled face showed a faint smile. He didn't even show any anger. He just stared at her, as if staring at a small prey under his claws, and said slowly and leisurely: "You don't have to worry."
“…”
"I didn't expose you that day, and I won't touch you now."
“…”
"I just hope you can understand that you are smart, but you are not as wise as you think. At the very least, you are not as wise as the other concubine of the Zhu family."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's face darkened again.
Qin Xixi.
This was the second time that Luo Xingwen deliberately mentioned Qin Xixi in front of her, as if hinting at the close relationship between himself and Concubine Qin.
Nan Yan looked at him seriously: "The old man keeps mentioning this Concubine Qin. What is her relationship with me?"
Luo Xingwen smiled and said, "Since you are already the daughter of the Si family, do I need to explain this relationship?"
“…”
"I'm saying this just to tell you that she's been with us brothers through thick and thin, and has seen far more of the world, even more than you have."
“…”
"Her methods were all developed by us."
“…”
"So, there's no need to bring your little tricks to this old man."
“…”
"I have my reasons for not touching you, but if you go too far, don't blame me for being rude."
Nan Yan frowned.
That’s true.
Her methods were indeed more than enough to deal with those inexperienced concubines in the palace, or some ordinary thieves, but who was Luo Xingwen? He had fought with Emperor Gao for the world and had been entrenched in Xingluo Lake for decades, and even the imperial court could not do anything about him. It was probably like showing off one's skills in front of an expert if she played tricks in front of him.
However, that’s exactly what happened—
Nan Yan looked up at him and said with a half-smile, "If that's the case, then what's the old man's purpose in not exposing me?"
Luo Xingwen looked at her and smiled too.
But that smile looked much more mysterious on his wrinkled face.
He said slowly: "My Lady, since you are leaving Xingluo Lake, then put your thoughts and your vision outside."
“…”
"This place is no longer important."
“…”
"What you're going to see and what you're going to face next is what you have to put your energy into."
Nan Yan frowned.
What does he mean by this?
This Xingluo Lake has always been the barrier of their Tiangang Lianhuanwu. It is also the means by which Zhu Chengjin has been able to successfully hide under Zhu Feng's nose for so many years, and constantly create trouble for him and still escape unscathed. This time, knowing that they are all here, in order to break this barrier, Nan Yan took such a big risk with her life and entered Xingluo Lake.
It can even be said that before that, in her mind, Xingluo Lake was the next battlefield between the imperial court and these people.
This place is of course important!
However, Luo Xingwen actually said that this place is no longer important.
Did he see through my thoughts and deliberately say these words to disturb my thoughts?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan subconsciously looked up at him, but saw that the old man was still smiling. There was no trace of the courage and spirit of the past when he was riding a horse and roaming the world. Instead, he looked like an ordinary old man who could be seen everywhere, chatting with her with a smile.
If he wasn't talking nonsense and disturbing his thoughts.
Could it be that Zhu Chengjin really wanted to lead these people to massacre Xiajiang Town, or that Zhu Feng really, really had already...
Nan Yan felt her mind was in chaos again. Too many thoughts rushed up in an instant, swallowing her like a tide.
It's almost suffocating.
Just as she was lost in thought, someone on the boat behind her was already urging her. Tingfu also walked over carefully: "My queen, it's time to set off."
Nan Yan looked up at Luo Xingwen again, only to see the old man gently waving his hand at her.
It seems that he won't say anything anymore.
Nan Yan could only grit her teeth, turn around and ask Tingfu to help her get on the boat.
But just as she was about to board the ship, a man came down from the ship, brushed past her, walked up to Luo Xingwen, and bowed.
"Foster father..."
Nan Yan looked back and saw that it was none other than Lu Linchuan, the man who had sent her into Xingluo Lake before.
Hearing him call Luo Xingwen "godfather", Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise.
In fact, on the way here, she could more or less feel that this young man who was just a boatman had some unusual characteristics. Even after he arrived at Tiangang Lianhuanwu, the attitude of the people around him towards him was strange. It was obvious that he was different from other pirates and ordinary boatmen.
It turns out that he is Luo Xingwen's adopted son!
Nan Yan subconsciously stopped and looked at him. Luo Xingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at this adopted son who was old enough to be his grandson, and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Linchuan lowered his head and said, "Come to pay your respects to your adoptive father?"
Luo Xingwen asked, "What did I ask you to do?"
"Follow the boat."
"Then why are you showing off in front of me instead of taking it with you on board?"
“…”
This is almost unreasonable.
Lu Linchuan seemed to be accustomed to his attitude. He just lowered his head and saluted him, then turned and walked back to the boat, passing by Nan Yan again as if he didn't even see her.
However, Nan Yan could clearly see some loss and helplessness on his face.
Nan Yan stood on the pier and felt that this foster father and son were somewhat interesting.
The people on the boat urged them to hurry again, and Nan Yan immediately took Tingfu on board.
Soon, thousands of boats competed on Xingluo Lake, and hundreds of boats vied for the current. Boats of all sizes lined up and sailed away from this mysterious and tranquil waters. Nan Yan stood at the stern, looking at Luo Xingwen's tall but thin figure on the pier, his old look faintly revealed in the mist, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
