Chapter 511 Don’t mess with him
"Don't look at it."
"Why?"
"You're going to make two holes in my face."
“…”
Only then did Nan Yan realize that she had been staring at him.
His face turned red immediately and he lowered his head quickly.
Although Zhu Feng did not raise his head from beginning to end, one corner of his mouth was slightly curled up while he was eating.
After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth and put away the bowl and chopsticks without saying anything. Someone came immediately to take away the things.
The girl had been blushing and didn't look up. Only at this moment did she cautiously raise her head and look at him.
"Your Majesty...won't you take a break?"
“…”
"The Emperor didn't sleep all night, so it's time to catch up on some sleep."
Zhu Feng shook his head and said, "Go get me a basin of cold water so I can wash my face and wake up."
Nan Yan still wanted to persuade him, but looking at his expression, he was not going to listen at this time. She could only go downstairs and get a basin of cold water. But she was afraid that he would really get cold, so she added a little warm water to it to make his hands less cold.
Zhu Feng washed his face and indeed felt a little more energetic.
Then, he began to look at the sand table again, frowning and thinking.
At this time, Nan Yan certainly didn't dare to disturb him. She just stood aside and waited quietly. After a while, Ye Zheng came over, took a look, and whispered, "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"
"No."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Ye Zheng, the Emperor won such a dangerous battle last night and won so beautifully. Now, why is he so worried about defending the city?"
“…”
Ye Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "The Emperor has fought for over a decade and has his own methods for dealing with the army of the Kingdom of Dan. However, this battle will be difficult, not only because of the vast difference in numbers, but more importantly, he cannot achieve another 'complete victory'."
Nan Yan frowned.
The "can't" that Ye Zheng said didn't seem to mean "can't", but... "can't".
She asked, "Why?"
Ye Zheng said, "The Neng Kingdom is experiencing internal strife due to the power struggle between the King of Beili, their new king, Monk, and the King of Nanli, Arslan. Furthermore, their imperial seal has been lost, and rumors circulate that whoever obtains it will inherit the throne. This has led to today's battle. The King of Beili may suspect that their imperial seal has ended up in our Yan Kingdom."
"What?!"
Ye Zheng glanced at her and didn't say the rest of the words. He just coughed lightly and said, "This is just a rumor. No one knows whether it is true or not."
“…”
"But the problem we face is this: if we inflict heavy damage on King Beili's army and weaken his power, then the current situation of confrontation between the two sides will disappear."
“…”
"That way, there will be no more internal strife in the Neng Kingdom."
“…”
"With Monk in charge and Nanli King Arslan assisting, they will hit the military strength of the Neng Kingdom. What happened on the border before will only continue in the future."
Nan Yan gasped.
"I see."
Therefore, if Zhu Feng wanted to fight this battle, he could only repel King Beili, but he could not kill his troops on a large scale like he did last night.
He had to leave some troops for the other side and then return to his country to compete with the forces of King Nanli.
In this way, the border of Yan State will be safe.
If you want to hit him, you can't hit him too hard.
This is the most difficult part.
Ye Zheng said softly, "The Emperor must be having a headache right now, so you'd better not provoke him."
“…”
"Just do whatever he tells you to do and go along with him."
Nan Yan took a look.
He said this as if he often went against Zhu Feng and made him angry.
He is the emperor!
As he was speaking, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Nan Yan."
