Chapter 3256 Map

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

Zhu Feng said calmly, "He's no longer the King of Nanli. His early battles with Monk forced him to leave Kulun City, leaving him severely weakened. That battle outside White Tiger City wiped out the power he had built up over a decade from the Kingdom of Dian. Even Yan Ye left, leaving him struggling to hold on. Now that White Tiger City is all that's left, he'll naturally resort to some cunning tactics."

Nan Yan said, "You're playing tricks on us? I can't stand this!"

Zhu Feng glanced at her with a smile.

"I don't have much ability, but I have a big temper."

Nan Yan said, "I just don't believe that the emperor can bear this."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "If I could bear it, I wouldn't come here in person. But—"

"But what?"

"However, if we really want to deal with White Tiger City, we must consider it carefully."

When he said this, his expression became serious, especially since the light was very dim at this moment, with only one flickering light.

The flickering candlelight illuminated his face, adding a touch of heaviness to the atmosphere. He said, "Even a trapped beast will fight. Besides, he's been able to hold out for so many years, so he must have some real skills."

“…”

"I don't want to give them any more chances."

The "they" he was referring to was naturally not just Arslan alone. For the entire Yan Country, both Arslan and Monk were like a sword hanging over their heads, threatening the safety of Yan Country from beginning to end.

Zhu Feng has been managing the northwest for many years, but in the end, he was inevitably forced to go to war with the north.

And eradicating them one by one is naturally the best way.

Nan Yan asked, "Then, what does the emperor plan to do?"

Zhu Feng thought for a moment, put the document aside, took out a large piece of thick paper and spread it on the desk, then said to Nan Yan, "Come and grind some ink for me."

"yes."

Nan Yan hurried over, picked up the ink stick and helped him grind the ink. Zhu Feng took the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the paper, while looking at the document.

Nan Yan immediately realized that he was drawing a map of White Tiger City.

However, Zhu Feng had never been to that place, and Chao Lu's confession could not fully describe the entire layout of Baihu City, so some places were still wrong. Nan Yan had been to Baihu City in the past, although it was more than ten years ago. At that time, she had not thought that they would one day prepare to use troops against Baihu City, so she did not carefully observe the situation in the city. But relying only on some vague memories, she still helped Zhu Feng point out some places.

"Your Majesty, the second gate should be here."

"here?"

"Yes, I remember when I went to White Tiger City with Monk, we walked a short distance after entering the city gate and changed sedan chairs here."

"oh?"

Zhu Feng nodded, made a few more changes on the blueprint, and then turned back to look at Nan Yan with a half-smile: "Is Monk still riding in a sedan?"

"He is very pampered and the most arty of people."

Nan Yan snorted coldly and continued, "However, he was shot by the Emperor before. There has been no movement from the Kingdom of Neng in the past few years. I think he was seriously injured by that arrow. Now he has to either pretend to be cultured or ride in a sedan chair."

Zhu Feng laughed and tapped the back of her hand with his pen: "Grind the ink well."

After a while, a simple map was drawn.

Zhu Feng held up the paper, carefully dried the ink stains, looked at it again, and then sighed softly, "Although the city is not large, its layout is exquisite. These places are so powerful that even a single man can block a thousand. It seems that attacking White Tiger City is not that easy."

Nan Yan frowned and looked at the map.

Having been with Zhu Feng for so long, she naturally saw some of the tricks. To her, this layout was indeed very ingenious. She originally thought that Zhu Feng would definitely have a way, but even he said "it's not easy", then it really is very difficult.

Nan Yan asked, "What should we do then?"

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "What should we do? We need to find a way to do it. The solutions are all invented by people."

Having said that, he put down the drawing and looked at it for a while.

At this time, the morning light outside had gradually brightened. Ruoshui and the others realized that the lights were on here. They were so frightened that they hurried in to apologize. Zhu Feng just waved his hand and asked them to bring hot water and green salt for them to wash. Then a hearty breakfast was delivered from the kitchen, and the two of them sat down to eat.

After finishing breakfast, Zhu Feng was about to head towards the study when he suddenly stopped and asked, "I remember you mentioned to me that White Tiger City was an earthen city?"

"yes,"

Nan Yan nodded and said, "The entire city is made of rammed earth and wood. It's very solid. It won't be easy to break it in from the outside."

"so……"

Zhu Feng muttered to himself for a few words, then nodded: "Alright, I understand. Take the child out to play for a while today."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Although he was almost unable to move after being beaten with a stick, children are children and their injuries healed quickly. Within two days, Wen Bieyu was able to get out of bed and jump around again. However, he was still timid when he saw Nan Yan, fearing that he had offended her again.

Nan Yan took him and Han Wang Chengjun to ride horses for an entire afternoon. This time, the two children were very cautious and did not dare to run too far. As long as Nan Yan shouted, the two of them would run back like kites with their strings reeled in.

Nan Yan was amused by them.

However, she was still worried about the matter of Baihu City. When she returned to the Duwei Mansion in the afternoon, she heard that Chao Lu had been taken out of the prison and placed in a small house in the southeast corner of the Duwei Mansion. Someone was watching him. Although his high fever had subsided, his injuries had worsened a lot. But this person refused to stay and kept asking the emperor to send troops to Baihu City.

Obviously, his son's death was a great blow to him. Now he could not find any other way except killing to calm his anger.

But Zhu Feng never agreed.

Although he did not agree, in the evening, many people saw a group of people sent out from the Duwei Mansion and left Handongwei, heading northeast, which was the direction of Baihu City. So everyone speculated that the emperor was about to use troops to attack Baihu City.

When I came back in the evening, Nan Yan also asked about this matter.

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Not so fast."

Nan Yan asked doubtfully, "Then why did the Emperor send people to White Tiger City? Fang Buyuan and his men deliberately revealed their whereabouts before, which must have attracted the attention of White Tiger City. Now they're sending people there again, won't they be alert? Isn't the purpose of war to attack the enemy by surprise?"

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Yeah, that's right. You all know how to attack when the enemy is least prepared."

Nan Yan asked, "Then why did the Emperor send them to White Tiger City?"
