Chapter 3095: The Red Dust is Bustling, the White Clouds are Cold
Ye Zheng said: "If it were me or him, we would both choose to stay in Nanjing and stabilize the south."
"oh……?"
After hearing what Ye Zheng said, Zhu Chengjin raised his eyebrows again.
What Ye Zheng said was exactly the strategy contained in the purple-red brocade bag given by Xu Shizong, but what Si Nanyan said was Xu Shizong's "worst plan".
Zhu Chengjin's eyes became a little playful.
He looked at Ye Zheng and said with a half-smile, "You and my uncle, would both do this?"
Ye Zheng said, "I would choose this. Based on my understanding of him after following him for so many years, I believe he would do the same."
"oh……"
Zhu Chengjin responded with a long sigh, looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Zheng with a twinkling look in his eyes: "Do you want to rest in the palace tonight?"
Ye Zheng's expression was cold. After hearing this, he simply looked up at Zhu Chengjin and said calmly, "That's the harem, not a place for me to rest."
Zhu Chengjin smiled, Ye Zheng bowed to him, and turned away.
When his back merged into the night, the smile on Zhu Chengjin's face slowly disappeared. He turned and walked into the Wuying Hall. Guo Mi, Lu Guangwei and others who were following behind him were still hesitant when they heard him say, "Come in."
Everyone immediately understood that he had something else to ask, and followed him in.
Zhu Chengjin walked in and sat behind the desk. The candle on the desk couldn't illuminate the empty and vast Wuying Hall, let alone his own pupils. He looked at the people in front of him gravely and said, "Are you sure Si Nanyan didn't see the contents of the brocade bag?"
Guo and Lu looked at each other.
Guo Mi said, "We were outside Lezhizhai and didn't hear any movement from inside. This shows that the imperial concubine didn't make a move while the military advisor was writing down the three strategies. It was only when the military advisor was dying that she said something to him, and he suddenly became angry and told Xiaoman to quickly hand the sachet to the young master. We heard something strange and rushed in, only to see Tingfu killing Xiaoman, but the sachet was still in Xiaoman's hand."
Lu Guangwei said, "Logically, the woman shouldn't have seen it."
Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly, placed the brocade bags in his hand on the table, and arranged them one by one.
Bluish-white, water red, purple red.
These three colors are obviously arranged in a certain order, but I don’t know whether they should be arranged from light to dark or from dark to light.
Of course, if we look at it based on Zhu Chengjin's own likes and dislikes, the order is very clear.
The problem is that the best strategy Si Nanyan mentioned is exactly what he wants to choose - go to Xiajiang Town, find Zhu Feng's body, announce it to the world, and march north.
But Zhu Chengjin couldn't help but think about it.
Although this woman is very scheming and cunning, one thing is certain: she certainly does not want her path to be too smooth. She even wants to dig a deep pit under her feet so that he can fall into it and go straight into hell.
If that's the case, how could she possibly tell the truth to herself?
Could it be that she is lying?
If she was lying, then it can be inferred that the real order should be the opposite, that is - the best strategy is to hold on to Nanjing, recover the prefectures and cities in the south of the Yangtze River, divide the river with the imperial court and rule it, calling it the Southern Dynasty.
Just thinking about this, Zhu Chengjin frowned.
Zhu Chengjin was reluctant to accept this "best strategy", no matter if Xu Shizong offered it to him while he was still alive, or if he was dead now and it was the advice he left for himself before his death.
And what Ye Zheng just said, if he and Zhu Feng were in their positions, this is what they would do next.
The coldness in Zhu Chengjin's eyes deepened.
Guo Mi looked at him frowning and thinking hard, and couldn't help but step forward and whispered, "Sir, is that woman lying? If so, you must not keep her."
Zhu Chengjin looked up at him and said coldly, "Whether I should stay or not, I know for sure."
Guo Mi lowered his head.
Zhu Chengjin looked at the treasure bag in front of him for a while, then said, "Alright, all of you go down. Keep an eye on the movements below, and report back immediately if you dig out anything from that Tingfu."
"yes."
Guo, Lu and others saluted him, then turned and left the Wuying Hall.
After they all left, Zhu Chengjin reached out to the purple-red brocade bag. His fingers touched it for just a moment, then he immediately retracted his hand as if in disgust, and reached out again to pinch the bluish-white brocade bag.
"Announce to the world, march north..."
He recited these words silently, and when he thought of that possibility, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nan Yan, who stayed in Lezhizhai, looked at the people around her who were busy with their work, and felt that the world was bustling. Unfortunately, the world was bustling but the white clouds were cold. In contrast to the bustle was the stiff and cold corpse on the bed.
Nan Yan lowered her head and looked at Xu Shizong's gray face.
Ever since I met him, this man has always been sickly and lifeless. But I never thought that such a sickly body could contain such great energy that could snatch Jinling City from Zhu Feng's hands.
I have to say that this person is capable.
If he could meet a wise leader - even if he was willing to serve the court, even if he was willing to be honest with his brother-in-law.
Will everything be different?
Unfortunately not.
Such a frail but intelligent man finally chose his "orthodoxy". However, the "orthodoxy" he chose, while enjoying his assistance, watched others murder him.
How ironic is this?
Nan Yan laughed coldly and said, "It's a pity that you have planned to conquer the country but not your own body."
At this time, several young palace maids came in, holding the burial clothes in their hands, and said to Nan Yan cautiously: "Your Highness, we are going to change the burial clothes for the military advisor. It is filthy here. Your Highness should return to Yikun Palace."
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Shizong again, turned around and left.
She brought Tingfu with her when she came, but was alone when she left. However, she knew that someone must be following her, and she was too lazy to do useless work, so she honestly returned to Yiku Palace along the same route.
But just as she reached the door, she saw the young palace maid Duo'er and the young eunuch Jiang Dahe standing at the door, looking at her with a panic expression. When they saw her come back, they immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness."
Nan Yan was a little tired and just wanted to go back and rest, but when she saw that the two of them looked a little off, she asked, "What happened?"
