Chen Jikuo's face was full of horror, but he had to lower his proud head.

By now, he finally understood why Zhu Zhanyan was so confident, and dared to say that he would obey his words with just one sentence.

Because this was a pit from the beginning, a pit where tombstones had been planted, Zhu Zhanyan stood next to him, smiling and waiting for him to jump down.

No one wants to die, and he, Chen Jikuo, as the emperor of the Jiaozhi area, doesn't want to end up like this.

But this pit, he had to jump.

Not only did he have to jump, but before jumping, he had to take a bath in the basin prepared by Zhu Zhanyan, and finally buried himself alive.

Looking at Zhu Zhan Yan in front of him, Chen Jikuo felt chills all over his body.

It's a real ...... Vicious teenager.

From the very beginning, it didn't matter if he died or not, because Zhu Zhanyan's gaze was never limited by a small Jiaozhi, and his target was all the places south of Yunnan!

In this era, everything is about being famous, which is why there are many battles that end without a problem, just because there is no such name.

And he, Chen Jikuo, is the name of Zhu Zhanyan's teacher.

He kind of understood, it didn't matter if he died or not, Zhu Zhan Yan had planned to spread the news that Siam and other countries had funded him Chen Jikuo to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and then Zhu Zhan Yan would have a reason to attack everyone!

This fire, which has almost burned out of Cochin, will spread to the surrounding area until it burns to the extent that Zhu Zhan is satisfied!

And he, Chen Jikuo, is a complete tool.

Why did those people on the other side of the river flee in embarrassment, and why didn't Zhu Zhanyan give the order to chase them? Because after today, there will be Chen Jikuo's son and grandson among those who have fled, and the Ming army will have to start tracking them down until they are all killed.

As for when will they be wiped out? That's the Ming Army...... Ah no, it's Zhu Zhan Yan who has the final say.

However, these are not the most cruel for Chen Jikuo.

For Chen Jikuo, the cruelest thing was that he thought at first that Zhu Zhan's kindness to him was to release his grandson.

Starting tomorrow, he Chen Jikuo will be the one who uses the funding of Siam and other countries to fight against the Ming Dynasty, whether he takes it or not, Siam and other countries will hate him to the bone.

If Siam and other countries knew that his grandson was still alive, what would greet him?

Go without saying.

Therefore, this is the most cruel thing about Zhu Zhanyan, giving him a hope and letting his grandson go, but it also gives him countless despairs.

Will his grandson be able to escape and survive in the face of so many nations?

There is a possibility, but this possibility is tantamount to a pipe dream, and only a miracle will be possible.

But even so, he Chen Jikuo still has to believe in this miracle! Because he had to believe!

He is definitely going to die, whether there are any relatives of his relatives among the people who fled on the other side of the river, those people are also going to die, because the Ming army will not let them go, the difference is just how long the play lasts!

Only this grandson, who was pardoned by Zhu Zhanyan, would not be pursued by the Ming army.

This grandson is Chen Jikuo's only chance to continue his bloodline.

"I lost......" Chen Jikuo laughed miserably, his expression and miserable laughter made Mu Sheng couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

"Lost...... Completely lost......"

"Losing to you...... I don't ...... wronged."

"God is too partial...... gave the Central Plains a Zhu Yuanzhang and another Zhu Di...... Now it's another one of you......"

"It is my luck and my sorrow to be born in the same era as you......"

"You won...... I'll do what you say......"

"Hope...... Ah, there is no hope......"

"You give, it's your mercy, if you don't give, I can't ......"

Zhu Zhanyan smiled with satisfaction, Chen Jikuo is a smart person, in this kind of opponent, Zhu Zhanyan can get great satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Zhanyan looked at the forest behind him, with a satisfied look on his face.

Having an opponent, especially a qualified opponent, is sometimes really comfortable.

At the very least, it's much better than those pig teammates.

"Second Uncle Mu?" Zhu Zhanyan tilted his head and looked at Mu Sheng.

"I'll leave this to you?"

"Yes!" Mu Sheng woke up from his horror at this time, looked at Zhu Zhan's mouth and motioned to Chen Jikuo who was kneeling on the ground, immediately stabilized his mind and bowed in response.

Now that Zhu Zhanyan has really taken care of everything, all that is left is to escort Chen Jikuo and the others back to Beijing, and it is impossible for him to shrink any longer.

"By the way, Your Highness, this ......"

Mu Sheng first sent someone to send Chen Jikuo to Wuhua Da and send him to the boat, and then looked at Chen Jikuo's grandson, the four or five-year-old child.

"I'm a man of my word." Zhu Zhanyan looked at the child with a smile, although he was not very old, his eyes were full of pity when he looked at the child.

"Since I promised Chen Jikuo, then I will implement it, what does Second Uncle Mu think?"

"Everything is up to Your Highness!" Mu Sheng immediately lowered his head.

Although he brought a bit of literati popularity because of his governance of Yunnan, he still had a clear grasp on the battlefield.

Let's not say that Zhu Zhanyan's identity pressures him, let's just say that with Zhu Di's secret fold, he has to abdicate everything here to make way for Xian.

Not to mention that this time, under the leadership of Zhu Zhanqi, the great achievement of arresting Chen Jikuo and pacifying Jiaozhi was completed.

"Your Highness, ......"

After getting used to listening to Zhu Zhanyan's orders, Mu Sheng was also used to waiting for Zhu Zhanyan to make a decision in everything.

"That'......" Zhu Zhanyan followed Mu Sheng's gesture and looked over.

"Let's hang it first, just send 18,000 people to chase it, and you don't need to catch it, just make a show."

"This matter is still too big, at least we have to wait for everything here to be reported to Ying Cai, without grandpa's decision, you and I can't make a decision."

"However, I don't think it's too big a problem, and we will have support in the future."

"Support?" Mu Sheng was a little confused, but he didn't ask.

Now he can do his own thing.

"Oh yes." Zhu Zhanyan was just about to return to the boat, when he suddenly looked at Mu Sheng as if he had thought of something.

"Second Uncle Mu, take these boats back for maintenance and repair, they will be of great use in the future."

"Yes!" Mu Sheng immediately responded.

Even if Zhu Zhanyan didn't say anything, he would go back to do it, because according to Zhu Zhanyan's plan, there would definitely be a place for the ship in the future, and there would be no less.

In the past, he was in charge of operations and post-war logistics, but now the bulk is handed over to Zhu Zhanyan, and if he is only responsible for logistics, if he still can't do it well, then he can go home and raise pigs.

"Let's go, go back." Zhu Zhanyan said as he boarded the boat.

"This Chen Jikuo is still very important, it is a piece of grandpa's heart, or it is the most important thing to escort him back to Beijing as soon as possible."
