Chapter 3435 Something happened
Nan Yan ran forward hurriedly, complaining in her heart: God wants to kill me.
Xinping had been arguing with Zhu Feng in Jinling for so long, and she finally felt a little better this time after coming out with him. Especially after entering Nan'an Town, the relationship between father and daughter seemed to have eased a little. Who knew that sitting on the roadside and drinking tea would make this girl angry again.
What the porters and merchants said just now hit the nail on the head for Xinping.
She was already angry about what Zhu Feng did in Jinling, especially the fact that he burned an entire village of starving people to death in Longkou Valley for a cart of food. Who would have thought that now they had reached the border, and she heard that the people of Yue State would waste the rice they sold to her like this? How could she not feel like her heart was being cut by a knife?
This time, I’m afraid it’s not going to end well.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan hurriedly ran forward two steps.
Fortunately, Xiao Shunzi ran fast and grabbed Xinping at the corner, shouting, "Little ancestor, stop it!"
Xinping struggled hard and said, "I won't go with you. You, you are all bad people!"
Xiao Shunzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was even more afraid that she would yell out loud, so he quickly grabbed her arms and said in a low voice, "Grand Princess, Grand Princess, please don't make a scene outside. Be careful that the Emperor will be angry. He's your father, how can you say that?"
"I don't want to!"
Xinping shouted loudly, and at this moment, Nanyan also rushed in front of her.
Nan Yan frowned and said sternly, "Xin Ping! You are not allowed to act like this again!"
Xin Ping felt increasingly aggrieved. It was clearly not her fault. It was clearly her father who said one thing but did another. Why was everyone blaming her, saying she was making a scene? Her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, and she sobbed, "I don't want to be with you. You, you are all liars, you are all bad people!"
Nan Yan sighed, squatted down, held her hands, and said patiently, "Xinping, be obedient. Many things are not what you see or think. You are still young and you don't understand."
Xinping was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak and just kept crying.
At this time, Zhu Feng slowly walked over.
He was not angry. He looked at his daughter calmly and said, "Let's go over there first."
After saying that, he actually walked forward.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to look at her daughter and said in a low voice, "Okay, stop making a fuss, let's go back first!"
Xinping tried to struggle hard, but couldn't break free. He could only walk forward with tears on his face, his hand tightly grasped by hers, sobbing as he walked.
They walked towards the town. Nan Yan could barely recognize that this road should lead to the restaurant where Zhu Feng had temporarily stayed when he brought them here during his tour of Yongzhou. The convoy just now was also heading there. The restaurant was on the largest and most lively main street in the town.
However, as soon as they reached that street, they couldn't help but frown.
The whole street looked like it had been swept.
Of course, the road surface is clean, but what is even cleaner are the pedestrians on the road.
There wasn't even a single person.
When they walked onto the street, they could even hear their own footsteps clearly. If they had not just seen a few sparse pedestrians outside, they would even wonder if they had walked into a deserted city.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frowned and whispered, "Master Huang, what's going on?"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but his pace was obviously slower than before.
Also more cautious.
Although he was traveling incognito at the moment, his momentum was still very great as he headed south, and the imperial guards and Jinyiwei following him were no paper men. However, he had not expected that an accident would happen before he officially arrived in Yongzhou and had just entered this area?
Who is targeting him at this time?
This time, even Xinping, who had been sobbing, calmed down. She opened her red eyes wide and looked around. Even though she was still a child, she felt something was wrong with such a strange place.
However, the restaurant is already in sight.
However, in broad daylight, when the door should be open to attract customers, it was closed.
Even their convoy was nowhere to be seen.
Zhu Feng thought for a moment, then walked up the stairs. Nan Yan lowered her voice and said, "Master, be careful."
They didn't even know who was behind the closed door of the restaurant, and whether there was any danger hidden, such as an assassin?
Zhu Feng waved at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and then knocked on the door twice.
His force was not great, but it made the two door frames creak. Inside the door, it was still quiet, and no waiter came over to greet them immediately. However, there was a sound of footsteps.
Then, the door was opened from the inside.
At this moment, Nan Yan's breath was choked.
Xinping, who had been sobbing and struggling beside her all the way, finally calmed down at this time. He opened his eyes and looked at the open door. It was even quieter inside the door than on the street. You could almost hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground. However, it was not like the street outside where there was no one around.
On the contrary, it was full of people.
Hundreds of silent faces were facing them, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at them at the same time, which would make anyone feel a little creepy.
But Zhu Feng was not moved at all. He slowly walked through the door and went in.
He saw hundreds of people kneeling down in front of him.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Then she knew what was going on.
Because she was following behind Zhu Feng and saw at a glance that the person standing in the front and leading these people to kneel was none other than Li Bushang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei who was sent to Yongzhou by Zhu Feng two years ago.
At this moment, he stood at the front of the crowd, knelt at Zhu Feng's feet, and said in a deep voice: "Long live our emperor."
Only then did Xiao Shunzi catch his breath and whispered, "Ouch."
He was also scared.
But as soon as he saw the Jinyiwei, he immediately realized that these people had come to welcome the emperor.
After Zhu Feng walked in, he simply waved his hand behind him. Xiao Shunzi immediately closed the door after the imperial concubine and the princess entered the restaurant. Zhu Feng looked at the hundred or so people in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Who asked you to come?"
Li Bushang knelt at his feet, lowered his head and said, "I acted on my own initiative. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng asked, "Who told you to act on your own?"
Although the local officials knew that the emperor was traveling incognito, they had to come to greet and protect him no matter what, which was their duty. However, what made Zhu Feng dissatisfied was that he didn't know whether it was Li Bushang who came, or - it was Li Bushang who came.
Li Bushang lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, something has happened."
