Chapter 2023 Two Figures

But Nan Yan's eyes were heavy as she stared at the tall figure in front of her. For a moment, it was impossible to tell the joy or anger in her eyes. One could only feel that she was a little tired.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired from staying up almost all night last night, or if it’s for some other reason.

Ran Xiaoyu said carefully: "My Lady..."

“…”

Nan Yan was silent for a while before turning to look at her with a slight smile on her face.

Although there was no smile in her eyes.

He whispered, "Let's wait until they come over. It seems a lot must have happened last night."

"Um……"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought back three strangers."

"Um?"

When Ran Xiaoyu looked back again, she found that after Xue Yun got off the horse, he immediately turned around and took a child from the horses of the guards behind him, followed by an old man and a man.

It was obvious that they were three generations of a family, all dressed in rags and with pale faces. When they looked around, they all had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Especially the old man, he actually shed tears.

Who are they?

What happened last night? Why did these people follow the emperor here?

Nan Yan stood still, looking ahead silently. Zhu Feng threw the reins to the person behind him. When he turned around, he saw Nan Yan standing there.

He came over immediately.

"emperor……"

When he walked up to her, Nan Yan was about to bow down, but Zhu Feng held her back with his hand: "Why are you disobeying me again?"

Nan Yan smiled and then stood up straight.

Zhu Feng looked at her in the rising sunlight and immediately frowned. "Why do you look so bad? Your eyes are a little red. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Nan Yan laughed and said, "How can I sleep peacefully when the Emperor hasn't returned all night?"

“…”

When Zhu Feng heard this, he subconsciously looked back.

Xue Yun was walking towards the other side with the child.

Maybe she felt the gazes coming from this side, but she turned around to look.

But he immediately turned his head away.

Zhu Feng coughed lightly, then said, "What else could possibly happen to me?"

"Even so, if the emperor doesn't come back, I will still feel uneasy."

Saying this and seeing the scene before her, Nan Yan seemed to feel even more uneasy.

But she didn't say much, only asking: "Who are those people that the emperor brought back?"

Zhu Feng said, "The guardian of Yumen Pass."

"Guardian?"

Nan Yan's eyes widened when she heard this: "This Yumen Pass has been abandoned for so long, and there are still people guarding it?"

"Their family has been here for hundreds and thousands of years."

"ah……"

"This time, I will release them and take them back to the capital."

"Why?"

"I'll tell you about this later."

Zhu Feng said, reaching out and holding her hand: "Go back and rest first, how are you going to travel like this?"

Nan Yan looked up at his bloodshot eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it seems you haven't slept all night either."

“…”

Zhu Feng didn't say anything.

But just as they turned around and were about to walk into the tent, suddenly, they both seemed to see something out of the corner of their eyes.

They turned around at the same time.

At this time, the sun had risen completely and was shining on a tall earthen slope in front. In the sunlight, the figures of two riders and horses were clearly visible.

Nan Yan naturally knew one of them.

It's Arslan.

But when Nan Yan saw the man riding beside him, she immediately frowned.
