The night was like an invisible hand, slowly grasping the entire sky and covering it with a layer of dark, heavy clouds.
Having arrived in Jiangnan, Sheng Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing at the approaching dark clouds. A sudden heaviness settled in his heart; he couldn't quite describe the feeling, but it was certainly not good.
He thought about the intelligence his subordinates had gathered recently, twirled his fingers together slightly, and frowned deeply.
The situation here was even more serious than he had imagined. Floods were raging in Jiangnan, and corpses of the starved were everywhere, but there wasn't a single body in the places he passed by!
The people along the way welcomed him warmly, as if nothing had happened.
If he hadn't sent spies to find out about the stench emanating from the alley and the corpses strewn across the city, and hadn't been kept in the dark, I really don't know what kind of person could have managed to whitewash the situation like that!
It's outrageous! The Jiangnan forces are so rampant, they're simply lawless!
Thinking back to the lavish hospitality he received upon arriving here, with its fine wines, delicacies, songs, and dances, Sheng Changfeng felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.
Great job!
Sheng Changfeng was furious, but the angrier he was, the less he showed it on his face. An invisible pressure emanated from him and spread outwards.
Very well, these people don't want to live anymore!
To dare to do something so outrageous, it seems the people here are truly all-powerful, like local tyrants in Jiangnan.
Very good, ha!
If this continues, will Father Emperor have to abdicate in their favor?
hehe!
Sheng Changfeng's aura was terrifyingly low. Although he had a smile on his lips, it was so intense that no one dared to look him in the eye. He seemed like a messenger from hell who could take a person's life in an instant.
The kneeling guard was secretly shocked. Could the Crown Prince, such a gentle and refined person, really have this side to him?
Suddenly, a white light shone by the window, followed by a rumble of thunder, and the rain quickly intensified.
The Jiangnan region is already prone to flooding, and this rain will likely make things even worse.
If I were to completely eradicate the Jiangnan forces, I fear I might lose my life here.
This is difficult...
Sheng Changfeng's thoughts were a jumbled mess, all sorts of ideas running through his mind, but in the end, what he missed the most was that beautiful little face in his mind.
Xi'er, I wonder how she is now?
she……
Sheng Changfeng seemed to realize something, and his expression softened for a moment.
On rainy days like this, she loves to snuggle in his arms and act coquettishly. Her fair and delicate little face, quietly gazing at him, is the most delightful sight.
And her slender, supple waist, her long, jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall, the interplay of black and white—just the memory of it is enough to stir the heart.
And their child, in a few months, will be born. Then the three of them will be a happy family... How wonderful...
Unfortunately, I am in a dangerous situation, and one wrong move could mean certain death, leaving no trace of my remains. I can only be extremely careful.
Sheng Changfeng didn't know if his wish would ever come true, but he secretly vowed to do everything in his power to come back alive!
Xi'er...
The rain outside the window seemed to grow louder, and the thunder rumbled as if striking one's heart, making one feel uneasy.
The night was as dark as ink, like a giant black monster, devouring everything...
