Chapter 651 Secret
The deeper the boat goes into Xingluo Lake, the thicker the fog becomes.
Zhu Feng stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fog that was constantly swirling in the air, as if it was a condensed ghost, passing by him.
He felt a little heavy in his heart.
Although, to many people in the court, the emperor, the then King of Yan, was invincible, he himself knew very well that he was fighting against the people of Dian.
As for the naval battle, he was not sure of winning.
What's more, this is Xingluo Lake.
Emperor Gao had been through many battles, including many naval battles. He was much more powerful than himself, but even so, he was unable to completely eliminate the water bandits in Xingluo Lake during his reign.
Instead, let them grow bigger slowly.
Now, it is really not that easy to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng couldn't help but clench his fists, but the wound on his palm had not yet healed completely. Whenever he exerted force with his palm, the wound felt like it was being torn apart.
He clenched his teeth.
No matter what, we cannot lose this battle.
After all, Nan Yan's grandmother, Madam Si, is still in the hands of those people from the Dian Kingdom. I heard from them before that the ships of those people from the Dian Kingdom seemed to have sailed to the depths of Xingluo Lake. I wonder what their situation is now.
At this time, the boat passed through a calm water.
Ye Zheng said softly, "Your Majesty, look ahead."
In the mist, two huge black shadows appeared faintly, distributed on the left and right sides of the lake.
Zhu Feng said: "That is Langya Island."
In the past two days, Concubine Ning has been explaining to him in detail in the quiet room the distribution of the islands on Xingluo Lake. He also learned that there are two islands on the outermost side of Tiangang Lianhuanwu, which are shaped like fangs and present a defensive posture.
That is the external defense of Lianhuanwu.
There are quite a few people stationed here. Every once in a while, these pirates will sail out to the lake to search around. One reason is to see if there are any merchant ships passing by; the other is to patrol to prevent anyone from attacking them.
The people who kidnapped them that day and then attacked them were probably the pirates from Langya Island.
And at the beginning of every month, they would go deep into the center of the lake.
All captured people and looted goods must be sent in.
The headquarters of Tiangang Lianhuanwu.
Now, those people should still be on Langya Island.
Zhu Feng stared closely at the two "wolf fangs" and said in a deep voice, "Use flag signals to notify the ships behind us to prepare for the attack!"
"yes!"

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Arslan."
“…”
"It's you."
Although he appeared suddenly, Arslan was a little surprised at Nan Yan's calmness at this moment. Even so, he could clearly hear that her breathing had become heavier.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "You, know I'm here?"
"I don't know," Nan Yan stared at him and said, "I just have a suspicion."
"Why?"
“That day, when I was standing here, I felt it.”
“…”
"Even though you didn't show up later and only a little rabbit ran out, I still felt something was wrong."
"Then why didn't you shout it out?"
“…”
"Wasn't your emperor nearby at that time?"
Nan Yan looked at his eyes, which were as bright as two lamps, and said solemnly, "It's because he's here that I can't say anything."
“…”
"At that time, there was only him, me, and Concubine Ning here."
“…”
"If there's an ambush, you'll hurt him."
This time, it was Arslan who showed a look of surprise. He looked at the thin woman in front of him, but he didn't expect that such a small woman could have such a strong heart.
It gave him a bit of a surprise.
After a while, he smiled faintly: "Sinanyan, you really surprise me."
“…”
“Every time I see you, there seems to be a surprise.”
Nan Yan's face was gloomy, and she said, "But, Prince Nanli, what you gave me was not a surprise."
“…”
"It's shock."
“…”
"You, why did you kidnap my grandmother? Where is she now?!"
Hearing her urgent questioning, Arslan thought for a moment and said, "This is probably why you didn't reveal my whereabouts."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "It's best if you don't hurt her."
Arslan said calmly, "I cannot do such a thing as harming an old man who is powerless."
Nan Yan said with a sullen face, "But you kidnapped an old woman who was powerless and could barely hold a chicken, from her home, and made her live in fear all the way."
“…”
"Arslan, I can tell you that it's best if you don't hurt my grandmother."
“…”
"Otherwise, I will make you pay the price!"
“…”
Arslan looked at her for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I can assure you that we didn't hurt her at all. She didn't need to be frightened at all along the way."
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
Originally, that is to say—
Before she could speak, Arslan continued, "However, because she came here and encountered the Guanyin storm, she was still somewhat frightened."
“…”
"But she's much better than us."
“…”
"It seems that she must have been here quite a few times in the past."
Nan Yan frowned even more tightly and said, "So, you guys are really here because of my grandmother?"
"That's right."
“…”
"It was she who guided us here."
Nan Yan's breathing became heavier. She subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, took a few deep breaths, and looked up at him again: "She guided you here? Why?"
“…”
"What is here that she remembered?"
Arslan's expression gradually became serious, and he said, "Originally, we wanted to ask her too."
“…”
"However, after entering Xingluo Lake, she became ill again."
“…”
"He was talking incoherently and couldn't remember anything."
“…”
“If we hadn’t happened to come to this island, this mountain, perhaps we would never have discovered the secrets here.”
"secret?"
Nan Yan looked at him in even greater surprise.
I also subconsciously looked around. There was nothing here except thick fog and the stone tablets that were faintly visible in the fog.
Besides these, what else is here?
What other secrets could there be?
"Want to know?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated and looked at him more warily.
Arslan smiled faintly and said, "In fact, if you hadn't discovered it, your life might have just passed like this."
“…”
“But people always want to know where they come from.”
“…”
"Isn't it?"
