Chapter 3272: Can Your Majesty take it?
The old uncle smiled and said, "I am not lying. It's just that..."
Zhu Feng asked, "But what?"
The old uncle said, "However, if I give Your Majesty something like this, can Your Majesty accept it?"
Upon hearing these words, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes, as sharp as the tip of a knife, but it disappeared in a flash.
The people around couldn't help but frown.
You have to know that what he meant was that he doubted the emperor's ability. This kind of doubt was an offense and even disrespectful to the emperor. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dragged away long ago.
Even Ruoshui, who was standing behind Nan Yan, couldn't help but frown and muttered, "How rude."
Nan Yan suddenly turned around and glared at her: "Shut up!"
Ruoshui rarely saw Nan Yan so fierce, and was so frightened that she dared not say anything. She quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head. Nan Yan turned around and looked at the calm old uncle with a complicated expression. He seemed not to realize the disrespect in her words at all. Instead, he looked at Zhu Feng with a smile, as if he was really waiting for a result.
And there was no anger in Nan Yan's heart that was offended.
On the contrary, just like when she heard him say that he would send Zhu Feng a gust of east wind, she felt only shock in her heart.
Can the emperor catch this gust of east wind?
If other people heard these words, they would naturally only hear the disrespect in them. However, Nan Yan, who had been worried along with Zhu Feng these days and had almost no sleep at night, would understand why this "being able to catch it" was so important.
Because Zhu Feng wanted to divert the water from the Boundary River and use the rain from the east to flood Baihu City.
The east wind that the old uncle said he would send was that rain.
But the current situation is that although Arslan failed to see through Zhu Feng's plan, he must have seen that Zhu Feng intended to take action against Baihu City. Therefore, the more the Handong Guards remained silent, the more he would send troops to harass them. Last time, he sent out 30,000 troops. Although they only fought once, it was obvious that he did not intend to give up.
Therefore, after withdrawing his troops, he did not completely evacuate, but set up camp in a grassland not far from here, and sent people back to the city to mobilize more troops and horses, preparing to provoke again.
If this continues, all the troops in Baihu City will be mobilized.
If all the troops of Baihu City were outside, then even if the water of the boundary river and the rain from the east overturned the entire Baihu City, there would be no way to completely eliminate the power of Arslan and the Eastern Chaga tribe.
This is just unacceptable!
If it is said that when Zhang Zhenren observed the stars at night and found purple air coming from the east, it was a sign of good fortune, but Zhu Feng could not receive such an auspicious sign, then it meant that if he did not accept what God had given him, it would be against God's will.
Then, instead of auspicious signs, disasters may occur.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng with a heavy heart.
After a moment of solemn silence, the latter's face finally cracked with a smile. Nan Yan thought he was going to talk about this matter, but Zhu Feng said, "We can discuss this matter later. Uncle has come all this way and must have been very tired. Come on—"
Xiao Shunzi was already prepared and stepped forward immediately.
Zhu Feng asked, "Have you arranged a place for the old uncle to live?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "Master Chen has already cleared out a wing room in the Duwei Mansion."
Zhu Feng frowned: "Why is it a wing room?"
Putting aside the fact that the old uncle came here to offer the emperor a gust of east wind, just considering his status, it would be rude to let him stay in a wing room. Zhu Feng looked at Chen Zixiao with a reproachful expression, but the old uncle seemed to see what he was thinking and said with a smile: "I am a Taoist, so a wing room is fine for me."
Zhu Feng thought about it and didn't force it. He just said, "Well, let's have someone take my uncle down to rest for a while. I'll host a welcoming party for him in the evening."
The old uncle smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's not necessary."
Zhu Feng asked, "Uncle, do you have any concerns?"
The old uncle said: "I am a monk, and the mundane things such as welcoming and cleaning the house are really cumbersome and can be omitted; what's more -"
Having said this, he looked up at Zhu Feng and said with a smile, "Your Majesty and Zixiao, you probably have important things to attend to."
“…”
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered again.
After a long silence, he smiled and said, "Uncle is indeed as good as a god. I won't force you."
The old uncle smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, no. Your Majesty, just give me some incense and candles, and don't let them bother you unless you have something important to do. As long as Your Majesty thinks you can handle it, I will naturally deliver the east wind to your majesty."
Nan Yan listened to these words from the side, as if she was listening to a legend.
But she didn't say much, just stood quietly aside, watching Xiao Shunzi and his men invite the old uncle and He Yi away. Afterwards, Zhu Feng whispered a few words to Chen Zixiao, and Chen Zixiao immediately left. Then, when they returned to their room, Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, what exactly does my uncle mean—"
Zhu Feng turned his head and glanced at her.
Then he slowly said, "I don't know if there really are immortals in this world. If there are, I don't know if it's Master Zhang on Mount Wudang or my uncle."
Nan Yan asked, "Can the old uncle really bring a gust of east wind to the emperor?"
Zhu Feng said, "If he says he can, I won't doubt it."
“…”
"Now, probably everyone is worried about whether I can handle it."
"Then what should the emperor do to catch it?"
"Of course, let Arslan transfer all the troops out of the city back to White Tiger City."
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows furrowed even more tightly.
"But now, Arslan is constantly sending troops outside."
"yes,"
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous glint as he spoke. "Furthermore, he's still transferring troops bit by bit. This time, he transferred another 50,000 people from White Tiger City."
Nan Yan said: "But, the troops in Baihu City, including those from the Eastern Chahe tribe, cannot be just this."
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "He keeps sending troops out like this, how can we get them back?"
Zhu Feng curled his lips and said, "Actually, what we should think about now is not how to get them back, but to get their troops to move in unison. Now that they are out, then let them all come out."
"Everyone come out?"
"That's right," Zhu Feng nodded and said, "We should do it like the first battle, with a small fight to make him feel that we still don't want to get into a fierce battle with him. Then, he will continue to dispatch troops and harass us. Wait until -"
"Wait until he mobilizes all his men."
At this point, Nan Yan's mind suddenly lit up, and she came to her senses. She looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "And then-"
