Chapter 1024: Chase!
After a long silence, Zhu Feng raised his head and said, "Where did you get so many 'helpers'?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned by his words.
It took a while before he came to his senses.
I couldn't help but glare at him - what did that mean?
How could these two people, one is the commander of the Jinyiwei, your trusted guard trained by yourself, and the other was once your Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat, become your "helpers"?
However, considering that he has lost his memory now, he should have no impression of these two people.
Nan Yan could only be patient, pull his hand over, and write on his palm: They are yours.
"oh……"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
He did feel somewhat familiar with the name, but within that familiarity, the feeling of discomfort he felt was real.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Then, where should we go to find these two people?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned at this time.
Indeed, they were separated at sea. Even if they were looking for me now, it would not be easy to find me in such a vast sea of people. What's more, they couldn't inquire about each other's news in a high-profile manner. After all, they had to hide their tracks so as not to be discovered by King Ning.
So I wrote hesitantly: I don’t know for the time being.
“…”
For some reason, Zhu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately said, "Since we don't know, let's not place any hope on these two people. We should leave Changqing City as soon as possible and meet up with the emperor."
This is true.
Nan Yan nodded slightly at him.
After resting for a while, she finally regained some strength. Although she was still a little weak, she was able to support herself and walk to a market ahead.
This place was outside the city of Changqing, with only some scattered small villages. The market was also very small, and naturally the things sold were not very good. Zhu Feng took her around for a long time before finally finding a horse dealer and buying the only horse in the market.
This is already the largest transaction in this market in the past few months.
Many people around looked at them with envy. A tall and handsome man, and a delicate and pretty woman, bought a horse. Are they going to travel around the world?
Zhu Feng climbed onto the horse first.
Then, he bent down and stretched out his hand to Nan Yan.
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated slightly.
Just now, Zhu Feng almost half supported and half hugged her along the way. At that time, they were trying to escape, so they didn't care about so many things. But now, the two of them were riding on the same horse, and she knew very well what kind of intimate posture it would be.
However, when she thought about how she was just a "strange woman" to him and he was so intimate with "someone else", she always felt a little uncomfortable.
Instead, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "You'd better hurry up."
"Well?"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him.
Zhu Feng glanced around and said, "Those people didn't catch us, so they will definitely report back soon. King Ning's troops should be here soon. Besides, buying a horse here is a big deal, so they will find us soon."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan finally stopped feeling awkward and immediately stretched out her hand.
Zhu Feng grabbed her hand with his warm and powerful hand, and with a strong pull, he immediately pulled her onto the horse's back and sat her steadily in front of him.
She also sat in his arms.
As soon as she sat down, Nan Yan immediately smelled that familiar scent, the scent that belonged to Zhu Feng, which surrounded her completely in an instant.
Zhu Feng put his hands around her body and grabbed the reins.
After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Sit tight."
Nan Yan couldn't help but bite her lower lip, recalling the bumps she felt every time she rode a horse. Although she already knew how to ride a horse, her body was so weak that it was indeed easy for her to be thrown off.
So, he leaned back a little more gently.
She leaned directly into his arms.
My back touched his solid chest, and I immediately felt his body temperature, as well as his chest and abdomen rising and falling with his breathing, which gradually soothed me.
Nan Yan's earlobes were a little red.
Zhu Feng glanced down and said nothing. He only curled his lips slightly, then gripped the reins tightly and shook them hard: "Go!"
Hearing the sound, the horse under him immediately galloped forward.
The dust that was raised spread across the small market. People around looked at the rider with envy, saying softly, "What a perfect match!"

What was faster than Zhu Feng and the others was the news.
News of the incident in the fishing village had already reached Prince Ning's residence. Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan's face darkened. "Are you sure?"
The leading guard knelt on the ground and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, it's not wrong."
“…”
"That man was in his early thirties, very tall, and extremely skilled in martial arts. I and my men were no match for him, and many were killed or injured. Please punish me, Your Highness."
“…”
Zhu Xuan didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This, what's there to blame."
“…”
"It's no surprise that you can't beat him."
“…”
"Even the once-famous Dan State cavalry was no match for him."
The people around him had already understood the man's identity by now, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Zhu Xuan asked again: "And then?"
The leading guard said, "We saw the imperial concubine there, and they left together."
"Oh? Imperial Concubine?"
Upon hearing these two words, Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up.
In the past two days, news has come back from the sea that the deal has broken down.
What’s more important is that neither of them came back.
He was almost certain that Jian Ruocheng must have other arrangements, which was to steal the key. This made him very angry, and he had already been furious in Prince Ning's Mansion, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it back.
And now, Si Nanyan appeared beside Zhu Feng.
He asked, "Did you see anyone else? Is Jian Ruocheng here?"
“No.”
"Sure?"
"Well, there are only two of them."
Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After being silent for a while, he raised his head and looked at Zhai Yun and Shi Yiru who were standing by with equally solemn expressions and even murderous intent in their eyes.
Zhai Yun immediately said, "Your Majesty, send more men. We must catch him!"
“…”
"If it doesn't work, kill him on the spot!"
This time, Zhu Xuan didn't hesitate. He said, "Lead five hundred men and chase him down! Be sure to chop off his head!"
