Chapter 1526: Skin, Smoked
However, he has the ability to get things done, but what about fighting?
Nan Yan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what's the urgent news from eight hundred miles away? Is Ye Zheng fighting in Shazhouwei? Who is he fighting against?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
"Well--"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
It’s hard to say, so I’ll just be nervous for Ran Xiaoyu.
So she could only perfunctorily say, "This—the Seven Guards of Guanxi are related to the Emperor's strategic deployment in the northwest. Ye Zheng is always careless, and I'm just worried."
After hearing her say this, Zhu Feng's expression eased a little.
Although he knew that there would be nothing between Nan Yan and Ye Zheng, he felt uneasy when he heard that she was worried about someone else, no matter who it was.
So, he snorted softly and said, "Since I let him go, naturally, he has the ability and qualifications to go there."
Nan Yan looked at the other guards and said, "This guard and the Handong guard seem to be two very important points among the seven guards in Guanxi."
Zhu Feng looked at her again.
This glance was full of praise and appreciation. Although Nan Yan looked weak, she had great ambitions in her heart. She could fully understand many things with just a little guidance. She could see and think the same as herself. There might be many people like her, but there were really not many women like her.
He coughed lightly and said, "These two places are where the imperial court stationed troops in the northwest."
Nan Yan widened her eyes slightly.
Therefore, Ye Zheng did go there to lead the troops and fight against others.
She asked carefully, "So, what exactly is the news about the 800-mile rush?"
Zhu Feng said, "After he went there, he's been dedicated to clearing out the surrounding bandits. Ever since our father closed the northwest gate and stopped trading with the nations of the Western Regions, this place has become desolate. And because it's located on the border between two countries, many prisoners from our Yan and Nian nations have drifted here, gradually forming a group of powerful factions."
“…”
"They usually make a living by looting border towns or attacking herders from the Neng Kingdom."
Nan Yan listened, her eyes flickering. "Now that the Emperor wants to reopen the northwest gate and start trade, these people are going to start robbing passing caravans?"
"good."
Zhu Feng said as he moved a little closer to her and pointed at a spot on the map: "Especially here."
“…”
Originally, Nan Yan was looking at the map very seriously.
However, as soon as he moved over, the two of them naturally got closer to each other. Because he had just washed up and was only wearing thin clothes, as soon as he got closer, he could feel a heat emanating from his body.
All of a sudden, it seeped through the clothes and stained the people's bodies.
Nan Yan's skin, which was originally a little cool, suddenly became warm.
She flinched suddenly.
But Zhu Feng didn't seem to notice at all. He leaned down and brushed his shoulder against hers: "Look here."
“…Ah? Ah!”
Nan Yan quickly came back to her senses and focused her mind again, looking at where he was pointing.
There seems to be a hill there.
However, upon closer inspection, the terrain seems to be very complex. There is a river valley in the middle of the hill, and it is winding and tortuous, appearing very complicated.
Maps were originally just simple outlines.
If you get there, you won’t know how complicated the terrain is.
Zhu Feng put one hand behind Nan Yan, leaned down, almost touching her body, and said, "This place is called—"
