Chapter 3255: Stupid, even less able to command troops

"The Emperor wanted to use his death to stimulate his father from the beginning, right?"

Zhu Feng then smiled faintly.

"The love between father and son is deep, the love between father and son is deep, but which one is the one with the deepest love? Do you think I really don't know?"

Nan Yan also smiled when she heard this.

Zhu Feng looks rough, but he is actually very meticulous and insightful. Winning a war is not a skill, but he can also sit on the throne after winning. This means that he not only understands human affairs, but also understands human hearts and human nature. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve this.

Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh again.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you feel sorry for me? Or do you think I'm too cruel?"

Nan Yan thought about it seriously and said, "When they were harassing the northwest, killing and looting, they weren't necessarily more merciful than the emperor. But, watching everything happen, I still feel a little bit sorry."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Actually, you've made a lot of progress over the years, but you know why sometimes you can't predict the final step?"

Nan Yan looked up at him and shook her head gently.

Zhu Feng: "Kindness cannot command an army."

“…”

"You're too kind, so there are some things you subconsciously don't want to think about. If you don't think about it, of course you won't think of it."

“…”

"And I, after fighting in the north for so many years, if I had even a shred of mercy towards the enemy in my heart, I would have died a thousand times over."

“…”

"So, as long as they are enemies, the thing called 'mercy' in me will disappear, and their lives, in my opinion, can be sacrificed at any time."

Nan Yan nodded.

After a while, she smiled and said, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

Zhu Feng laughed, rubbed her face with his hand, and said, "You don't need to learn this. If the world really needs you to give up mercy, then it means I am incompetent."

Nan Yan also laughed.

She took the fan from Zhu Feng and fanned him gently while asking, "Just now, Chao Lu was so eager to tell the emperor about the White Tiger City incident. Why didn't the emperor stay and listen? Instead, he left?"

Zhu Feng said: "Chao Lu is now blinded by hatred, but that doesn't mean he is stupid."

“…”

"What if he finds out that all this is a trap set by me? Do you think he will still help us?"

Nan Yan blinked and said, "So, the Emperor is deliberately acting indifferent, but not completely unconcerned about this matter. This way, he can let his guard down?"

"good."

“…”

"As long as we understand the distribution of troops within White Tiger City and other situations, that will be enough."

Nan Yan nodded, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Feng with a smile: "The emperor is really cunning."

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Kindness cannot command an army, and stupidity is even less suitable for commanding an army."

Nan Yan fanned him and nodded in agreement, but after a moment she came to her senses and looked at Zhu Feng: "Did the Emperor just scold me in a roundabout way?"

Zhu Feng burst into laughter.

The two of them quarreled for a while, both sweating. Ruoshui and the others hurried in with cold water to wash their hands and faces. Nanyan changed into a new dress and suddenly remembered something. She said, "By the way, has the emperor asked Lord Ye?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"That's right, about the notes."

Zhu Feng finished washing his face, threw the towel into the basin, walked over and said, "White Dragon City is about the same distance from here as White Tiger City. He just sent someone there, how can they arrive so quickly? We have to wait for a few days. Why are you so anxious?"

Nan Yan sighed and said, "I always have this hanging on my head."

Zhu Feng walked over and sat down, then he took her into his arms and said gently, "Nine out of ten things in this world are not as you wish. You can worry about this one, but don't get too hopeful, or you might get upset if things don't go as you wish."

Nan Yan couldn't help but glance at him.

Zhu Feng said this as if he knew things would not go as he wished.

But then he thought, that notebook was where Xue Yun recorded her medical skills, especially her methods of detoxification. It would be unreasonable not to carry such an important thing with him. If they sent someone to look for it this time, it was very likely that they would return empty-handed.

The reason why we let people go is just to do our last bit of effort.

Thinking of this, she didn't know what to say anymore. She just sighed softly and nodded, "I understand."

The next morning.

Nan Yan was still asleep when she seemed to hear the rustling sound of someone flipping through books. She frowned slightly, turned over as if she was about to wake up, and reached out to touch something next to her, but found nothing.

She opened her eyes immediately and found that Zhu Feng had stood up at some point.

Only a faint warmth remained on the mattress.

"emperor……?"

She murmured as she got up from the bed. When she looked up, she saw Zhu Feng sitting at the desk on the other side of the room, flipping through a document in his hands.

It was just dawn at this time and the room was still a little dark.

He probably didn't want to wake Nan Yan up, so he didn't even turn on the light. He squinted his eyes and looked at the faint morning light outside the window. Nan Yan sighed and immediately walked over to help him light the candlestick on the table.

Zhu Feng finally came back to his senses and looked up at her: "Did I wake you up?"

Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, do you no longer want eyes?"

Zhu Feng smiled, unfolded the document in his hand a little more, and said, "It's hot too."

"Won't you let someone in to fan you when it's hot? Can your eyes handle reading such small words in this dark?"

Nan Yan nagging, while opening the small drawer beside her, took out some chrysanthemum and rock sugar, brewed a cup of tea and handed it to him. Zhu Feng took a sip, couldn't help but sighed softly, and said with a smile: "I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time."

Nan Yan said, "Only drink it when the weather is hot, and chrysanthemum improves eyesight, so drinking it will also be good for the emperor. But you should drink less on a normal basis. Wang Baizhi said that the emperor needs warming nourishment."

Zhu Feng nodded.

Nan Yan walked over to him, leaned on the armrest of his chair and whispered, "Who sent this letter so early in the morning?"

Zhu Feng said, "It was Chen Zixiao. I told him to send over whatever he found out immediately. These records are what they got out of Chao Lu."

"ah!"

When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes widened immediately: "Did he say everything?"

Zhu Feng said, "The distribution of troops within White Tiger City, the troops currently stationed there from the Eastern Chaga tribe, and their cooperation with Arslan."

Having said that, he sneered.

"I was right. The Eastern Chaga tribe plundered the passing caravans, and the spoils were split 40% and 60% with Arslan."

“…”

"Such a good deal, he doesn't even need any capital, and he does it smoothly."

Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Despicable!"
