Chapter 558 It’s Over, Isolated
Xu Ziguang originally wanted Gu Chan to give him some advice, but seeing the troubled look on Gu Chan’s face, he became extremely anxious.
"Lord! You have to help me come up with ideas! What should I do now?"
"Why are you panicking? You can't figure it out now, so just take someone to check it out. ! If I don't like it, I'll just stay at the patrol office, there's no need to worry," Gu Chan said after regaining consciousness.
"Then I can only wrong you for the time being." Xu Ziguang said with a smile.
Gu Chan waved her hand carelessly.
Xu Ziguang did not dare to stay any longer, so he immediately got up and said goodbye to her and left, going to investigate this tragic case of family destruction.
Gu Chan could only hold back her temper and temporarily stayed in the yard.
For the next three days, Xu Ziguang led people to search everywhere. Not to mention that he could not find anyone who had any objection to the case, he also searched for any information related to the case. Less than.
But Yanli ran very fast, and it took only three days to reach Nancheng.
Gu Chan originally thought about letting Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying, who had arrived in Nancheng first, lead their men to arrest her and intercept her in Nancheng. However, Yanli was too shrewd. After arriving in Nancheng, she just replenished supplies. , and then quickly fled out of the city without stopping at all along the way.
Cheng Hao and Yuanying couldn't intercept her even if they wanted to.
But this is not the worst. The worst thing is that after these three days, the tragedy of the Yan family’s destruction has already spread throughout the entire Jiangnan area.
Everyone in the Second Prince’s Party who had previously been extremely supportive of Gu Chan now began to distance themselves from Gu Chan. Some even sent people to send Zhezi directly to the Lord’s Mansion to invite Gu Chan. Ci.
For a time, Gu Chan was completely isolated by everyone in the Second Prince's Party in the Jiangnan area, and fell into an isolated and helpless situation.
That night, when Gu Chan was in the courtyard behind the patrol office, feeling extremely uncomfortable about this matter, Nangong Jin walked in from outside the courtyard with a smile on his face.
Gu Chan raised his eyes and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
"The old academician asked me to give you the ranking list of the Poetry Society." Nangong Jin said, While walking to the stone table opposite Gu Chan, he sat down, then reached into his sleeve, took out a blue roster and handed it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan reached out and took the roster, opened it and took a closer look, and found that there were only one hundred people ranked for this poetry meeting, and she was in ninth place.
Nangong Jin was ranked fifteenth. As for the top three on the list, they were all unfamiliar names. She had no idea who these three people were, but judging from their names, she was sure , the top three are two men and one woman.
Yanli was not listed on the list because of cheating. However, due to the massacre of the Yushi Mansion, Jiangnan Academy has not disclosed the matter to the outside until now.
After reading the roster, Gu Chan sneered and said, "Okay! I didn't expect you to get fifteenth place."
"Huh! I didn't answer seriously at the time, otherwise I would definitely If I break into the top ten, my ranking will not be lower than yours," Nangong Jin said unconvinced.
"It's okay. You will come back to participate in the Jiangnan Poetry Festival next year, and just try your best to break into the top ten." Gu Chan said mockingly.
Nangong Jin glared at her, not wanting to dwell too much on this topic, and instead said, "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I came here specifically to see you tonight. I'm here to pay homage to you." "Goodbye?" "What do you mean?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
"My father and I have agreed that tonight we will set off overnight and rush back to Nancheng. From now on, we will probably not come to the Jiangnan area again, nor will we get involved in the Crown Prince's affairs. ." Nangong Jin sighed.
Gu Chan shook her head after hearing this, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.
Originally, she thought that the father and son would stay for a while longer to witness her offensive and defensive military exercises with Zuo Wangfeng. But judging from the current situation, she thought too much. They simply didn't dare to stay any longer.
Nangong Jin seemed to have opened up a chat box and confided in his heart, "Yesterday my father and I went to Yizhuang. We originally planned to pay homage to Mr. Yan and his family. But when we arrived at Yizhuang, we saw the quilt Dozens of corpses burned beyond recognition, we just I understand what terror means. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The prince is too ruthless and ruthless. Maybe one day when we are no longer of use to him, we will end up like Master Yan and his family, ending up in such a miserable end. ”
"You have said so, so it seems that this tragedy of annihilation has nothing to do with Zuo Wangfeng." Gu Chan said with a stiff face.
"Gu Chan, let me tell you the truth! According to our understanding of General Zuo, we believe that he would never do such a cruel thing of killing a whole family. This matter is definitely related to the Crown Prince. , but in the face of his false accusations, you have no way to prove yourself, so your fate will not be much better," Nangong Jin said seriously.
Gu Chan was speechless, with only a wry smile on her face.
I thought that all the credibility she had accumulated during the time she came to Jiangnan would be wiped out this time due to this tragedy. If the second prince party and everyone else did not help her, then she He could only face the subsequent offensive and defensive battle with Zuo Wangfeng alone.
So it is understandable that Nangong Jin came to such a conclusion for her.
Nangong Jin stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Gu Chan and said, "I admit that you are a good opponent, and you will take care of yourself from now on."
"Little prince, let's say goodbye now. If we meet again by chance, I hope that you and I are not enemies, but friends, and we can sit down and have a chat together." Gu Chan stood up and clasped her fists in return.
Nangong Jin smiled and nodded.
Then he said no more, turned around and left immediately.
Gu Chan stood there, looking at his leaving back, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Damn! Such a great toy, he left just as soon as he said it. Don't tell me, I'm really a little disappointed."
Gu Chan stiffened her face and muttered to herself, and then she lost it I suppressed my emotions and went back to the house to sleep.
Nangong Jin never imagined that he regarded Gu Chan as his opponent, but Gu Chan only regarded him as a big toy!
On the other side, in the camp beside Dujiang Town.
At this moment, Zuo Wangfeng and Shuiyue were eating roasted lamb legs and drinking fragrant rice wine in the big tent, smiling from ear to ear.
They never dreamed that at this juncture, Gu Chan could actually give them a divine assist.
Now, everyone in the Second Prince's Party in the Jiangnan area has isolated Gu Chan. If they want to attack Jiangnan City again and completely capture the Jiangnan area, it will be easy. Something?
How can this not make them happy?
