Chapter 2611 Why, that’s all?

Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, has Xue Yun been found?"

Zhu Feng shook his head.

Nan Yan immediately frowned and murmured, "Why haven't they found it yet? Does the emperor want to send more troops out?"

Zhu Feng said, "Aren't the people I sent enough? There are more than a dozen groups of people."

"Then how—"

"Do you think the grasslands are the same as the Central Plains?"

"Isn't it different?"

"Fool, in the Central Plains, no matter what kind of mountains, forests, hills or valleys there are always roads, big and small official roads and small paths, if you want to find someone, you just follow the road; but there are no roads on the grassland. In such a large area, once the troops spread out, they will really spread out. Besides, she originally intended to escape, so naturally she had to hide from people."

“…”

"This makes it even harder to find."

"oh……"

Nan Yan nodded gently, but still said: "No matter what, we should find her as soon as possible."

“…”

"When I think of her walking alone, I get worried."

“…”

"Just hope nothing unexpected happens."

Zhu Feng said, "Don't worry. I've sent a lot of troops. Besides, there was a battle here just two days ago. The surrounding wolves must have been frightened and scattered. She shouldn't be in such danger."

Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"That's good..."

At this time, food was delivered from the kitchen.

It was indeed porridge and side dishes, but fortunately Zhu Feng still had a conscience. Although it was porridge, he had someone cook some shredded chicken and put it in, and also prepared some sour and spicy side dishes. Although Nan Yan thought these things were bland, she still devoured everything that was served.

After finishing, he burped and lay back on the bed.

Zhu Feng asked, "Sleep a little longer?"

Nan Yan shook her head: "I have slept for so long. If I sleep any longer, my hands and feet will become stiff."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "So what do you want? Do you want to go out and have another go?"

“Hmm…”

"Alright, stop imagining it. I'm here to talk to you. The doctor in the mansion has also said that you can't avoid this illness, and it may not be just this one. I'm afraid there will be recurring low-grade fevers. Just stay calm and take care of yourself. Don't make any more trouble."

Nan Yan looked up at him and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you need to attend to government affairs?"

Zhu Feng said: "It's almost all done."

"By the way, what were the results of the battle?"

Nan Yan had regained some consciousness at this point and asked anxiously, "Both sides have withdrawn their troops, but what's the outcome now?"

Zhu Feng said, "I've just gotten better, and you're still worrying about me with all sorts of questions."

“…”

"The outcome of the battle has nothing to do with you."

Nan Yan pursed her lips, but muttered softly, "But, after all, I went to watch the battle in person. It's only natural for me to care about the outcome."

“…”

"If Your Majesty doesn't tell me, I will have nightmares even if I fall asleep."

Zhu Feng gritted his teeth in anger at her threatening words.

He stretched out his hand and twisted her, saying, "You only know how to play this trick on me!"

Nan Yan hurriedly said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, please tell me. Even though I'm sick, I've been thinking about this all the time."

As if he couldn't do anything to her, Zhu Feng sighed and said, "Chen Zixiao has returned with his troops."

"Arislan's side——"

"The number of enemies killed has not yet been calculated, but his side has lost nearly 40,000 men."

“……!”

Nan Yan took a sharp breath.

That’s almost enough, more than half of it has been lost.

In fact, when I was watching the battle yesterday, seeing them fighting from day to night, I knew that the battle would be brutal and there would be countless casualties, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce.

Nan Yan thought for a while and said softly, "Arslan has been seriously injured this time."

Zhu Feng said: "This is what I want."

"So, what about Monk?"

Nan Yan is more concerned about this.

Monk's power is greater, so it would be best to weaken his power to the greatest extent possible.

Zhu Feng said, "The troops we sent out haven't returned yet, but according to Arslan's estimates, the loss may be around 20,000 to 30,000 people."

"ah?"

When Nan Yan heard this, her brows furrowed.

She originally hoped for around 50,000 or 60,000 people, but now it seems that it is only half.

Nan Yan sighed and murmured, "Why, is that all?"

Zhu Feng looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Shouldn't you be sympathetic and grieving for the dead and injured? Why do you complain that the other side's casualties are too few?"

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and said seriously, "The dead and injured are of course innocent, and war is certainly not good, but I am the imperial concubine of Yan State after all. We have already joined the war, so naturally we have to consider ourselves. The only way to win is to fight."

Zhu Feng chuckled.

Then he said, "Okay, you look not so good again, lie down and sleep."

Nan Yan obediently lay down in the quilt, then leaned on the corner of the quilt and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Zhu Feng said, "I have already sent people to the camps of Arslan and Monk to congratulate them on their victory. I have also informed them that if they want to fight again, I can still provide assistance."

Nan Yan laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her.

In fact, at this time, Arslan and Monk must have come to their senses to some extent. Zhu Feng was greatly weakening their power, but the war was over and they suffered heavy losses. At this time, they could not turn against Zhu Feng.

Nan Yan asked, "Then, will they both retaliate against us next?"

Zhu Feng said, "The war has reached this point, and there's absolutely no chance of reconciliation between the two sides. They want to retaliate against me, but firstly, they have no legitimate reason, secondly, they have no solid evidence, and thirdly, I made it very clear to them before the war. Every word I said was the truth. If they try to cause trouble again, they'll only be embarrassing themselves."

Nan Yan chuckled.

Then he asked, "Then, when will the troops who went to assist Monk return?"

"Soon. When I send someone to deliver the message, I'll also tell them to set off immediately."

Nan Yan nodded: "That's good."

“…”

"The most important thing now is to find Xue Yun as soon as possible."

Zhu Feng glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.

She went to bed and never got up again. In the evening, Zhu Feng came over to see her and found that she had a low fever again.

The doctor at the Duwei Mansion had said before that if she caught a cold like this, her symptoms would recur. So he simply brought some documents into the room and sat by her bed, watching over her while he took care of her.

Nan Yan was drowsy from the fever. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Zhu Feng was taking care of herself while handling things.

Muttering: "I'm so useless..."

Zhu Feng looked down at her and smiled, "I'm glad to know."

At this moment, Ying Shao's voice sounded outside the door——

"emperor."
