Chapter 3004 Dispute
Ye Zheng's attitude towards her, or rather, towards them, was completely hostile.
Nan Yan whispered, "Ye Zheng, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zheng said coldly, "What's wrong with me? I have nothing. I just, I just know the truth. I don't have to be deceived or used by others anymore."
Nan Yan's heart suddenly sank.
Ye Zheng has been with Zhu Feng for so many years and is Zhu Feng's confidant. Zhu Feng is completely open with him. There is only one thing that Zhu Feng "deceived" him, or in other words, concealed from him.
It is the death of Ye Zheng’s brother, Ye Quan.
Could it be that Ye Zheng already knew about this? !
She stepped forward and said anxiously, "Ye Zheng, what on earth do you know? No matter what they told you, I have to tell you that the emperor has never thought of deceiving you, let alone using you. You have been with him for so many years, and you should know very well that he is closer to you than anyone else. It's true!"
Ye Zheng sneered: "Do you think I will still believe what you say?"
Nan Yan's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
Before she could say anything, Tingfu behind her grabbed her arm tightly and shook his head cautiously, signaling her not to move.
After all, this is someone else's territory.
Nan Yan's face darkened and she looked around. Sure enough, the elders were all squinting their eyes at them.
At this time, Fu Zhiqiu, who had been observing coldly, said, "You two, now is not the time for you to 'reminisce'. How about we get down to business first? Imperial Concubine, do you still want to deny your identity?"
Nan Yan's heart sank and she closed her mouth silently.
Of course, there was no room for denial.
If even Ye Zheng has already stood on their side, not to mention that he has no room to deny his identity here, even Zhu Feng——
At this thought, the cold sweat on her back nearly soaked through her clothes, but the more she felt at this moment, the more she needed to calm down. Nan Yan took a deep breath, regaining her composure. She looked at Fu Zhiqiu and said, "Now that there's such 'ironclad evidence' here, I can't deny it even if I want to. However, you all forced me to admit my identity. What do you intend to do next?"
“…”
"Are you going to kill me?"
Shi Tianlu, who was dressed in black, glanced at her and said nothing.
Fu Zhiqiu, on the other hand, burst out laughing. After laughing, he even stood up politely and walked to Nan Yan, saying, "Your Highness, you are just joking. We are just rough people. We spent so much effort to invite you here, how could we kill you?"
Nan Yan asked, "Then, you spent so much effort to invite me here, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, I invite you to be my guest."
"Be a guest? Is this your way of entertaining guests?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked directly into the man's eyes without any fear.
Fu Zhiqiu has been the second-in-command of Xingluo Lake for the past decade or so. He is the one who calls the shots and everyone under him is extremely afraid of him. He had never imagined that there would be a woman in this world who could remain calm in such a dangerous situation, as if she had been controlling the overall situation.
Li Chen, who had the worst temper among them, couldn't help but hold on to the armrest of the chair and angrily said, "Why, do you still want us to serve you?"
Nan Yan said coldly: "When the Qing people come to visit, they don't invite guests to teach you how to treat them."
"you--"
Seeing that Li Chen was about to get angry, Fang Zhen reached out and held down his arm.
Fu Zhiqiu sneered at Nan Yan and said, "It seems that we really underestimated the Imperial Concubine. You are right, we do have a way of treating guests. However, as I just said, we are all rough people. I am afraid that our hospitality is beyond the reach of the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan frowned.
This is a bandit's lair, and I'm afraid it's really hard to say how they treat guests.
However, her identity was exposed as soon as she came in, but until now, she has not seen the mysterious man. This is absolutely not acceptable!
At this moment, Fu Zhiqiu waved his hand and several burly men walked in from outside. Fu Zhiqiu ordered, "Please ask this imperial concubine to go down and 'rest'. Let her see how we treat guests."
After saying that, those few people came over to take the person away.
Nan Yan subconsciously took a step back, dodging a large hand reaching out to her. Ting Fu immediately stepped forward to block her: "Don't touch my queen!"
Li Chen was already impatient and said, "Chop this little bastard into pieces and drag this woman away!"
The big men obeyed the order and took action immediately.
Suddenly, Ye Zheng's voice came from above——
"stop!"
After he said this, the four elders frowned and looked at him, and the big men, although they did not seem to obey his orders, stopped after hesitating for a moment.
Nan Yan also looked up at him, only to see Ye Zheng say coldly, "I didn't come here to recognize someone for you."
Li Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ye Zheng said: "I want to take the person away."
"You? Why?"
"Just because she was lured here by our scheme, the young master wants to see her."
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she didn't say anything immediately. Instead, Li Chen immediately started arguing with Ye Zheng: "Don't take chicken feathers as your authority. So what if you are a young master? This is Tiangang Lianhuanwu, and we are the ones who have the final say here!"
Ye Zheng said coldly: "No matter what, I want to take this person away."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and several more people walked out from the small door behind him. They were also tall and burly men, but their clothes and behavior were obviously different from the bandits around them. Obviously, they were two groups of people.
When these two groups of people met, they were about to start fighting.
At this time, Fang Zhen, who had been silent the entire time, said, "Everyone, we are all in this together. Let's not hurt the relationship."
Ye Zheng said coldly: "No matter what, I want to take the person away."
Li Chen was about to point his finger at him and curse, but Fang Zhen raised his hand and gestured towards him. Then he turned to look at Nan Yan, smiled suddenly, and said, "Speaking of which, it's rare for us to have so many 'distinguished guests' here. Why not let them make their own decision? Where are you going?"
Nan Yan's mind was racing.
The "young master" that Ye Zheng mentioned might be the mysterious man she had met before. It seems that although this mysterious man exists in Tiangang Lianhuanwu, he is not completely of the same mind as the people here. On the contrary, they are still two different people, and are only cooperating temporarily because of their interests.
However, according to what she had just seen, most of the forces here were still the water bandits from Tiangang Lianhuanwu, that is to say, the local tyrants were still in the dominant position.
